I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

At least, before I arrived in this land, although the Land of Hot Springs was in chaos, it was far from being reduced to a battlefield where ninjas fought each other.

"Oh, is that so?"

"So that's it."

The moment the boy finished speaking, the confusion and excitement on Ringo Ameyuri's face instantly vanished, and she even let out a sneer.

"Such fussiness and hesitation, that's not the Lord Huang I know!"

"What is Kumogakure? What is Konoha? What is Akatsuki? What does death matter?!"

"Wasn't this outcome already predetermined when you became a ninja?"

"The only difference is the timing."

She spoke her mind freely, her high-pitched voice like that of a rebellious queen.

"Besides, you have already paid the reward for loyalty."

The term "girl" refers to the vigorous vitality that was preserved after her chronic illness was cured in eastern Konoha.

"And there's this Thor's Blade that's been upgraded,"

"Therefore, I am willing to follow you forever, and even if the invaders are ninjas from Kirigakure, I will use this sharp blade you have given me to cut them down!"

Ringo Yuri suddenly knelt on one knee, the dazzling Thunder God Sword easily sinking into the hard stone slab. Her unwavering loyalty was unshakable by anything.

"Me, and the Thunder Light Clan, are the same."

Chino suddenly turned around and also knelt down on one knee.

Meanwhile, her slender right hand clenched into a fist and pressed against the cold, thick stone slab, while her short, off-white hair slid down to her ears.

The dim light, her kneeling posture, and the strands of hair blowing in the wind all made it difficult to discern the emotions on her face.

but,

"From that night on, the lives of the five members of the [Thunderbolt Squad] have been completely entrusted to you!"

"So please feel free to use us!"

This declaration of utmost loyalty should not be taken lightly!

“Those little guys, call me teacher.”

He was just spouting nonsensical nonsense.

The white mask he wore on his face made it impossible to see his expression, but his posture of kneeling on the ground in front of Huang undoubtedly represented loyalty.

"I'm not confident I can win."

Hozuki Mangetsu also briefly mentions the past.

On the eastern border of Konoha, they made a three-year agreement.

However, he has yet to launch a single formal challenge.

Because of the certainty that comes from the soul,

Because standing in front of him was Kaguya Kimimaro, who also had white hair!

"but,"

I will win someday!

He knelt on the ground, holding two swords.

【! 】

Zabuza Momochi's eye twitched.

Once again, once again!

The previous one was a demonstration by the other side on Tangquan Mountain.

Faced with that overwhelming, surging pressure, it was powerless to resist and could only suppress its unruly heart, letting its body submit to that invisible giant wave.

This time, he had already voluntarily broken free of the restrictive contract, he had already fulfilled his obsession with Kirigakure, and he was now free to roam the world.

But when his gaze inadvertently swept over the black-haired boy kneeling on the ground...

【never mind. 】

He knelt on the ground, holding onto the hilt of the decapitation sword.

The world may be vast, but everyone needs a place to belong.

"Ranmaru, you like it here."

Compared to someone's inner arrogance, Raiga Kurosuki is decisive and straightforward.

Anyway, he was originally a ninja who betrayed Kirigakure and wandered outside, so it didn't matter where he was.

"Really."

Huang was somewhat stunned by the sight.

He had considered that Chino, the original members of the Raikage Dan, and Ringo Ameyuri would choose to continue following him, but he did not expect that Raiga Kurosuki, who had no special agreement with him, and Hozuki Mangetsu, who was naturally proud, would also make such a decision.

"Well,"

“But if you continue to stay behind me, then your lives will no longer belong to yourselves.”

"If you betray me, I will not let you off the hook, no matter where you go."

Even so, are you still willing?

The young man asked in a soft voice,

Without the constraints of contracts, all that remains is minimal mutual trust.

"Yes!"

Qi Qi's response settled under the cover of night.

.........

.........

Pedestrians were few and far between, doors were tightly shut, and the ruins bore indelible traces of blood.

The infiltration of just a few elite members of the Root almost turned the entire Land of Hot Water upside down.

If it weren't for the fact that five powerful Ninja Swordsmen used their unique Hidden Mist Technique to take action at the end, this city would probably have already fallen.

The well-trained elite ninjas are truly incomparable to the hastily assembled, half-baked [Lightning Squad].

Even though there are many bloodline limit users among them who are more suited to learning ninjutsu, their level of awareness is vastly different.

A moment of fervor can never withstand unwavering loyalty.

"It's just ahead, Lord Ara."

Chino said in a complicated tone.

The attitude was even more respectful than when there was a contract between the two parties.

This is probably what it feels like to have freedom and complete respect.

After all, although she and her companions in the [Lightning Legion] had long accepted this subordinate relationship, she still had some reservations about the cursed contract that bound her soul and could endanger her life at any time.

"Ah."

Ara's fingers lightly traced the marks left by the ninja tools, his gaze shifting away from the terrifying pit that still exuded a gloomy and violent aura.

At that moment, he seemed to see that night before.

The night the Thunder Light Clan fought a fierce battle with the invaders.

Ordinary ninjas are no match for the Root elites who have been taken in and trained since childhood and have undergone brutal tests.

A total of seventeen people died as martyrs.

However, fewer than ten people were able to preserve their bodies intact.

In the Root ninjas' suicidal counterattack, the remains of many comrades merged with those despicable, dark figures.

Entering the morgue,

Upon closer inspection, white shrouds covered the remains, and the endless expanse of white filled the field of vision.

Huang's heart stopped for a moment.

Those black pupils began to ache and tremble involuntarily; this was a sensation they had experienced in Konoha when they heard the news from the Land of Hot Springs.

He had not actually witnessed the tragedy that had occurred in the tribe's territory five years prior.

When he was discharged from the hospital, the clan's territory had been completely cleaned up, and even the blood had been washed away by the rain.

But this time,

The scene that appeared to him seemed to transcend time and space, gradually overlapping with that night five years ago.

【Saegashi Morikawa. 】

【Nakao Teruman. 】

【Natsukawa Tataka.】

【......】

Huang remembers everyone's name because of the contract.

Meanwhile, he silently murmured their names in his heart without uttering a sound.

Until the very end,

As he expressionlessly laid down the last shroud, the surrounding area suddenly turned icy cold.

The ground, the rock walls, the air, the space—everything was frozen solid; the whole world seemed to have fallen into the far north, into a snowy wasteland.

Blood oozed from the boy's right pupil in a terrifying manner, and the three black tomoe slowly converged, transforming into the shape of a windmill.

[Right Pupil - Cicada Ice!]
