Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 202 The master of the Seven Deadly Sins wanted to kill the gods.

Might Guy was originally pestering Kakashi to show off that he had also become a Jonin, shouting, "Kakashi! Let's have a youthful showdown later."

Upon hearing this, he subconsciously turned to look at Hyuga Kumokawa, then at the four swords, and scratched his head, saying, "Huh? This..."

"Yun Chuan, it's not that I don't want to try, it's just that I only know how to use nunchucks. I don't know how to use swords at all."

"Moreover, even Lady Tsunade couldn't pull it out, so I reckon it's even less likely."

"Is that so?" Hyuga Yunchuan's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze swept over Kakashi with a hint of meaning, and he said softly, "But Kakashi and I both drew one."

Do you think you're inferior to us?

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's dead fish eyes rolled back. This kind of low-level provocation was too obvious; who would...?

“Hmm, that seems to make sense.” Might Guy straightened up instantly and looked at their swords. “If you can do it, how can I fall behind?”

Having said that, he rushed to the sword case in one stride, his movements so fast that they created a gust of wind. His green bodysuit was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, attracting a wave of surprised and strange glances.

"Come on! Let me see which one is worthy of my burning youth!" Might Guy's gaze swept over the four weapons, finally locking onto the one in the center, 'Arrogance'.

This sword looks like the 'most powerful' one.

“You’re the one! Arrogance, huh!” Might Guy rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and reached for the hilt of the sword ‘Arrogance’ with both hands.

"Wait, Kai."

Just as Might Guy's hand was about to touch the hilt of 'Pride', Hinata Kumokawa suddenly spoke up: "I think you can try 'Gluttony'."

"Gluttony?"

Might Guy abruptly stopped, turning to look at Hinata Kumokawa with a puzzled expression.

Even Nara Shikaku, who had been frowning and deep in thought, suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing undisguised surprise.

Not only him, but everyone who heard those words looked bewildered and confused.

Gluttony?

Matt Kay and Gluttony?

Isn't this combination too incongruous?

Faced with the various gazes of the crowd, Hinata Kumokawa did not explain, but simply nodded to Might Guy with an encouraging look in his eyes.

"Well... fine, binge eating it is, it doesn't matter anyway."

Although Might Guy was full of questions, he had a natural trust in Hinata Kumokawa, so he scratched his head and muttered, "Youth is about daring to try!"

He then abandoned his 'arrogance' and walked towards the enormous horse-slaying sword.

This sword is longer than a regular katana just from its hilt, and the blade is wide and thick, making it look incredibly heavy.

Matt Kai stood before it, his rugged and fierce appearance contrasting sharply with his comical image in a green bodysuit.

“You’re the one!” Might Guy took a deep breath, his eyes becoming focused and serious.

He stretched out his hands, without the hesitation or skill of others, and firmly grasped the hilt of the knife in the most direct and pure way.

hum! !

The moment Might Guy gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, something unexpected happened!
The 'Gluttony' weapon, which had been as lifeless as a corpse, suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly loud buzzing sound!
"This……"

"It actually reacted?!"

Exclamations rose and fell, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Might Guy and the sword in his hand. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but take a step forward.

Might Guy was startled, feeling a chilling sensation flow into his arms through the hilt of his sword.

"Drink!"

Might Guy let out a low growl, and the muscles in his arms instantly bulged, with veins popping out beneath his skin.

laugh! !

A piercing, teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out!

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, he actually pulled the 'Gluttony' sword out of its case!
A cold and violent crimson aura emanated from the sword case. Might Guy gripped the huge saber tightly with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing diagonally at the ground.

Did it work? !

The square was deathly silent. No one expected that the guy everyone secretly jokingly called "the rare beast" would become the only one to pull out the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Moreover, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' that a guy who torments himself like a madman pulls out is actually the 'Gluttony' weapon?
Nara Shikaku looked at Might Guy holding 'Gluttony', then looked at Hinata Kumokawa with a surprised expression.

“Gluttony, Kai, how is this possible?” he couldn’t help but ask. “Yun Chuan, how did you figure that out?”

Hinata Kumokawa simply smiled, thinking about the origin of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The concept of the "seven deadly sins" comes from the Bible and consists of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The reason why the "Seven Deadly Sins" are considered original sins is because their essence is that they all attempt to replace the central position of "God".

It is precisely because these so-called seven deadly sins distort the rules created by God and disrupt the order and hierarchy between humans and gods, and between humans themselves, that they are called "original sins".

For example, gluttony, one of the "seven deadly sins"...

“Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ Your heavenly Father knows all that you need.” Hinata Kumokawa said softly, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

"This is a sentence I once saw in a book about folk religions. Isn't it quite fitting to use it to describe the opposite of the word 'gluttony'?"

"..."

Nara Shikaku froze on the spot, staring blankly at Hinata Kumokawa, his mind replaying those two sentences.

"That's it, that's it."

After a long silence, he lowered his head and murmured, "The blood of all gods must end with the sword. So that's what it means."

"The so-called seven deadly sins, what they all have in common is actually 'rebellion' against God?"

Nara Shikaku didn't know that these two passages came from the Gospels of Matthew and John in the New Testament of the Bible, but he could understand their meaning.

It means that as long as you believe in Him, you will never experience spiritual or physical hunger, because all the "food" you can obtain is His gift.

In the Bible, the body is a gift from God, a temple and "house" of the Holy Spirit, meant to serve and glorify God, while man himself is merely a "steward".

The opposite of "binge eating" is "moderation," which means restraint and self-discipline in controlling one's body.

As it says in Proverbs, “Do not associate with those who love wine or meat, for those who love wine and meat will become poor.”

If you don't have enough food, it's not God's fault, but rather God's instruction for you to practice "moderation." Simply put, it means being content, grateful, and not demanding.

Therefore, the so-called "binge eating" does not only refer to the literal meaning of unrestrained craving for "food," but also to dissatisfaction with everything God has given us.

The reason why "bulimia" is considered an original sin is that bulimiars are not satisfied with the physical characteristics or living conditions that God has given them, and thus disobey God's authority.

This discontent manifests as an attempt to satisfy oneself through material means, such as excessive food consumption; it is a kind of physical transgression and rebellion.

It's like saying...

God, you haven't given me enough, not enough. I will find my own way to satisfy myself.

God, or more accurately, a deity, desires that humanity wait for the rain to fall like plants, and that whatever falls, whether thunder or dew, is a divine blessing.

Despite not being born with chakra talent, Might Guy, even though he knew he was inferior to others, still ignored their cold stares and ridicule, constantly struggling to acquire more to satisfy himself.

Matt Kay, possessing this trait, committed the original sin of "gluttony".

"So……"

Nara Shikaku suddenly raised his head, looked at Hinata Kumokawa, and said, "The greed, envy, and sloth that were extracted earlier, and the remaining pride, lust, and wrath..."

“Yes.” Hinata Kumokawa nodded and said softly, “It all means rebellion against the ‘divine will’.”

"Greed" is the excessive desire for and hoarding of material wealth, money, or resources, which violates God's sovereignty as the true owner of all wealth.

As Luke says, “Be sober-minded and avoid all forms of greed, for a person’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

Hinata Kumokawa could not deny this point; he had always been craving more wealth, status, and power.

"Jealousy" is the hatred of God's grace manifested in others, the desire for others to lose it or for oneself to possess it, which violates God's wisdom and sovereignty in distributing gifts.

Just like in Genesis, Cain killed his brother Abel because he was jealous that Abel's sacrifice was more favored by "God".

Kakashi Hatake could not deny this point. He had woken up in the middle of the night more than once, regretting that he was not the one who died, and that his hands were stained with Rin's blood.

"Laziness" is apathy, indifference, and escapism at both the mental and physical levels; it is a kind of spiritual numbness and depression that goes against the purpose and responsibility given by God.

As it says in Romans, “Never be lazy in zeal, but keep your spirit fervent and serve the Lord.”

Jiraiya could not refute this point, because of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he spent his entire life searching for the elusive Child of Prophecy, escaping his responsibilities as a Konoha ninja.

"That is to say..."

Nara Shikaku's throat bobbed as he stared intently at the inscription on the sword case, his voice hoarse as he said, "The being who forged the seven swords known as the 'Seven Deadly Sins'..."

"Was his real aim to kill the 'god' and strip him of 'divine authority'?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha Jonin who overheard the conversation were all stunned.

These seven swords actually have this special meaning?

"No, there is another possibility."

A voice reached everyone's ears, causing them to instinctively turn their heads to look.

Hinata Kumokawa lowered his eyes slightly and said with a smile, as if joking, "Perhaps the master of the Seven Deadly Sins does not want to kill the gods."

"Or rather, comparing oneself to a god?"

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku and the others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly understood the meaning of his words.

He compared himself to a god.

So, was the purpose of forging the 'Seven Deadly Sins' to make the holder kill themselves?
Or is it that they are certain that those humans, even if they possess power, cannot kill them?
