Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 166 Evil God, Mortal Blade

Meanwhile, just as Shinichi and his group had shaken off the pursuit of the Cloud Village group...

The Land of Hot Water, deep underground in a mysterious and unknown place.

A thick sea of ​​blood slowly surged, and crimson light illuminated this deathly silent space. A pair of enormous blood-red eyes slowly opened.

It no longer knows how long it has lived.

After its origin was severely damaged, it forgot its original name, where it came from, and even what it used to look like. It only remembered that it had lived for a very, very long time.

But who am I again?

It fell into deep thought.

"Lord!"

At that moment, a trembling voice filled with boundless awe and fanaticism rang out in front of it, interrupting its fragmented and chaotic thoughts.

host!

Correct!

It remembered.

In a distant time, before it was here, but to the west of this continent, it sat upon a throne of blood, and those insignificant humans knelt at its feet, calling it a god, a saint, and its master.

It generously bestows divine grace upon believers, granting these humans bodies that are impervious to pain, so that swords cannot bring them down, granting them a constitution that is unafraid of death, so that fear disappears from their hearts, granting them the pleasure and power gained from sacrificing their enemies, and making killing their most devout prayer.

Some humans denounced it as an evil god or a demon, and organized numerous campaigns to try to destroy it and its followers.

But most people, often unable to even get past its fervent believers who have received divine favor, become nourishment for their own kingdoms, and become part of the believers' efforts to please it.

It is immortal.

Although it had forgotten its own name and where it came from, it still remembered that it was supposed to be immortal.

until that day.

In the center of the earth, a colossal tree that seemed to reach the heavens appeared out of nowhere. The tree was so large that it appeared to devour the entire world.

It inexplicably sensed an unprecedented danger in that tree, a feeling it had never experienced in its long life.

Although it was curious, it cautiously did not leave its own country.

But those two people still came.

One male and one female.

Fall from the sky.

The woman glanced at it, her gaze like that of someone looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered.

A gray bone pierced through her palm and into its body.

Its proud immortality was utterly useless before that gray bone, as if the bone were a product of death and end, the nemesis of all life, all existence, and all immortality.

It had never perceived death so clearly before; it could barely hold on, trying not to die on the spot.

In its struggle, it vaguely heard a conversation between two people about "Kaguya," "the Divine Tree," "the Chakra Fruit," "recycling," "the next millennium," and...

companion!

These two terrifying people, a man and a woman, and their companion!?

Seeing that it hadn't died immediately, the other man seemed somewhat surprised. He scolded the woman named "Kaguya" a few times and planned to finish it off himself.

It thought it was going to die.

But just as the man was about to make his move, the woman named Kaguya suddenly used the gray bone to launch a sneak attack on him.

It simply couldn't understand why these two terrifying beings would suddenly turn against each other and cause internal strife.

But its extreme desire to live allowed it to seize the opportunity during the sudden conflict and chaos between the two.

escape.

They fled desperately.

They kept running away, running away, until they reached this unfamiliar land, until they reached the dark depths of the underground.

Then, it fell into a long slumber.

The gray bone piercing its body, like a malignant tumor, was eroding its remaining essence and vitality day and night.

It didn't know how much time had passed, only that during this long slumber, it had countless times been on the verge of complete extinction, and countless times it had struggled to survive by relying on its remaining instincts. It was immortal, and even when faced with the gray bones that symbolized the end, it still proved this point.

It wasn't until twenty years ago that it finally came to its senses.

When it woke up, it found that the whole world had changed.

Everything that was once familiar has disappeared, replaced by an existence called ninjas who wield a power called chakra.

That power was inextricably linked to the tree and the energy surging within the couple.

At the same time, it discovered that although it had woken up, it was too late. Its body had been eroded by the gray bone and was now riddled with holes and completely ruined.

It needs a new body.

It needs to regain its strength.

It knew all too well that the next millennium was fast approaching, and the companions those two had spoken of would soon return.

If it cannot be restored to its original state by then, it will face certain death.

So it seduced an ambitious human who accidentally stumbled into this underground area, leading him to establish a church and search for the "Holy Son," the vessel for its reincarnation.

A perfect container.

It wants to borrow that body and come back to life.

Returning to the present, the evil god looked at the middle-aged man in luxurious clothes who was bowing in worship and slowly spoke.

"Abe."

"Lord! Your faithful servant listens to Your will." The man named Abe bowed down in prayer.

"The Holy Son has arrived. I have sensed that he was born in this land, in the Land of Hot Springs."

"Yes! Supreme Lord!" Abe lowered his head even further and whispered, "Rest assured! Your faithful servants and the Church will spare no effort to find the Holy Son and welcome your coming! Let your glory shine upon the world once more!"

"There's one more thing..."

The evil god's voice paused slightly, and then the viscous blood in the center of the surging sea of ​​blood began to writhe violently.

Immediately, an extremely condensed crimson light shot out from it and hovered in mid-air in front of Abe.

The crimson light gradually subsided, revealing what was inside: a section of translucent, amber-like crimson substance that seemed to be alive, flowing slowly.

Through the blood-red amber, one can vaguely see its core: a section of ancient, dark gray bone that exudes an ominous aura that sends chills down one's spine.

"Find someone to forge it into a weapon, so that it may become my sacred artifact after my birth."

After nearly a thousand years, it finally forced out the bones that the terrifying woman named "Kaguya" had pierced into its body.

The bone now not only possesses the woman's terrifying power, but has also absorbed its own largest and purest source.

The two merged into one during their nearly thousand-year entanglement, transforming into something entirely new, containing immense power.

"Yes! Your loyal servant will seek out the world's finest craftsmen to forge it into a supreme sacred artifact worthy of our lord! However..."

Abe no Taisei respectfully accepted the artifact with both hands, then asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should this sacred object be called? Please bestow upon it a sacred name so that your servant may remember and invoke it."

Upon hearing this, the evil god fell silent. After a long while, it slowly spoke, "The Mortal Blade!"

It boasted of its immortality, but this bone nearly killed it in the process.

It needs this name to remind itself why it is alive and why it is dying.

At the same time, it also hopes that when this bone, which combines the power of both sides, is forged into a weapon, it will become a divine artifact in its hands to slay all enemies, including extraterrestrial enemies that may descend again in the future.

I wrote two chapters about the Cloud Hidden Group chasing the protagonist's group, but I found they weren't good, so I deleted them. I'll update the remaining chapter tonight.
