Chapter 24: 23 - A strong girl
5 years ago...
- Once again! - A younger version of Reito found himself ordering a girl to hit a wooden doll.
- Dad ... I can't take it anymore! - Said the girl.
Reito just looked at the girl with disappointment and left the room. The young woman had callused hands and was left alone in that training ground while holding her bleeding hands and trying not to cry.
This was the courtyard of a fearful little clan, it had no more than 100 members and could fall like a straw house in front of the big bad wolves known as the big Clans. The little girl kept on crying, she had to be strong.
The little girl had from this that was born a shy personality and a kindness and affection, in addition to a deep desire to find her love, she was beautiful too, any man would love to have her in his arms. Just looking at her face, a great desire to protect her welled up in any man's heart, but from the girl's point of view it was never like that.
Reito was a greedy man, he wanted to rise to greatness, so he needed power, a lot of power, so he organized forced marriages with different women, but due to his low fertility he had only two children.
The girl was one of them, putting bandages on her injured hands. The girl walked alone with her beautiful thoughts and dreams, then the girl passed through a room with the door open. Inside were his father and another man, his father seemed very polite to the man.
- Yes, sunflower is a beautiful girl, your grandson will be very happy ...
The girl then ran away crying, her father had sold her to some clan, her dreams of marrying someone who loved her had died, so the young woman was saddened and ran into a small courtyard.
Inside the small courtyard she saw a beautiful woman taking care of some flowers, when she saw her sunflower started to cry
- What happened, my daughter? - Asked the woman, who was the sunflower mother, in a calm and slow voice.
- Mom...
Girassol told everything he heard, his mother kept a calm expression, as if she already knew what would happen. She had been through the same.
- My daughter ... this world is cruel, too cruel. For us women even more, we can be smarter, smarter and faster than men, but in a world where strength decides everything, none of that matters, but don't be sad, keep it all to yourself. - At this moment the expression on the woman's face changed from solemnity to an unbridled madness. - Keep everything deeply and return it to them, to those damned.
- Mom, you're hurting me ... - The woman's nails had pierced the sunflower arm a little.
- In this world, women may be born weaker, but after becoming an apprentice this difference is dumb, you had to destroy these men completely ...
- Stop mom, it hurts! - The girl was already starting to have tears in her eyes again.
The sunflower mother suffered the same as she was, being forced to marry, being forced to have sex with an unknown man, this caused her a huge hatred for the men who dominate the world.
Sunflower was beginning to fear her own mother, she knew that there were cruel men in the world, that most of them had lustful thoughts, but also most never vary badly with anyone. Girassol also wanted to have the same rights as men, but she didn't want to be forced to do things she didn't want to do.
Her mother had gone so crazy that she was no longer seeking equality, in her mind people had to remain superior to others, but women had to be on top. Before she believed in equality, but hatred made her change completely.
At this moment, sunflower understood that there were no evil men, there were crazy people, the difference was that men went crazy more easily, as I know a father who only sought power, or the men who built this society that oppressed the weak.
Realizing her mistake, the sunflower mother released her, she then returned to her solemn expression.
- My daughter ... do you know why I called you sunflower? - Asked the woman.
- Am I a flower? - that was what went through the sunflower head at that moment, his mother found it fragile like a flower.
- No, nothing like that. I called it sunflower, because the sunflower looks only at the sun, the sun is invincible and hot and its only opponent, even though it is an invincible opponent the sunflower never gives up, it will always chase the sun, it will never give up. - Said the woman with strange wisdom.
- Chase the sun and never give up ... - Those words marked the girl permanently.
Sunflower realized that she could be strong, but still seek love, but even so she should never give up, as only the sun was in her vision, nothing but the sun.
Sunflower hugged his mother and slept ...
Sunflower then began to train severely, in some points of her mother's madness she was right, the girl could not be content, she cannot be weak and submissive, her father who made the deal never said anything to her. He just watched her sometimes.
Soon a news came, a year after that the sunflower mother committed suicide in her yard, her older sister disappeared completely afterwards, not before killing several Clan men and trying to murder her own father.
Girassol was now alone, her personality soon began to change, not because she wanted to, but because the world forced her, she became colder and more distant, always training, three years after her mother's death there was the Clan's talent test.
In these three years the Clan completely changed, his father stopped being so greedy and started to have really good ideas, so naturally the Clan grew quickly, his father often tried to get close to sunflower, he seemed to want to reestablish ties, but sunflower has not yet I could forgive him.
On the day of the test everyone was surprised, sunflower already had the physique of an apprentice, its Chakra reserves were at the level of a tiger. She was the most talented person in the Clan, perhaps in the entire city.
After knowing this sunflower calmed down a bit and let his guard down for his father, to his surprise his father found him kneeled on the floor and begged for her forgiveness, even starting to cry, he really was sorry for everything, he had tried change and fix your mistakes.
Girassol did not completely forgive him, but brought him closer, one day his father told him that he was going to cancel the arranged marriage and that she could be free to do what she wanted. Soon another year passed and Girassol went to meet his fiance to end his engagement, or just meet him. Sunflower still had the dream of loving and being loved.
As soon as she met the young man she was surprised, her clothes were unlike anything she had ever seen, especially after the young man held her hands and said that he fell in love with her and didn't want to give up, that was a shock for sunflower, but she would not succumb to what could be false.
Soon after a strange confusion the young man touched her, giving her eyes that could see everything around her, she needed to process everything on her own, but she could hear the fast heartbeat and he was telling the truth.
Even so she would not accept marrying someone just because he liked her, in this world the force decided everything, from this early she understood this, then only a fight would solve things.
Today she was facing the young man again, he was dressed in a strange way as last time, he had a confidence that could not be seen before, the patriarchs and a judge were the only people inside the main training hall of the Clan .
- Karou, new patriarch of the otsutsuki clan, versus the rising sun flower, sunflower, let the fight begin!
