Become the God of Ninjas starting from Danganronpa.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Hestia looked at Dongfang Yao, who was biting her hard, and her cute little face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

This child just saved her life, and out of gratitude, she wanted to save the child. Who would have thought it would turn out this way?

Not only did they not thank her, but they even turned around and bit her.

She truly turned the tables on him, and he bled a lot. Hestia is a renowned goddess in the heavens; when has she ever suffered such an injustice?

"I'm sorry, I had no other choice." Dongfang Yao swallowed the divine blood, and only managed to utter these words before falling into a coma.

Hestia's small face showed obvious surprise, but upon seeing the protagonist's extremely pale face and feeling his clothes trembling violently from pain and soaked with sweat, her expression quickly softened. "I really can't do anything with you. Don't let it happen again."

......

Dongfang Yao had a dream, a very, very long dream.

In his dream, he became a vast, boundless land. Countless creatures thrived and multiplied upon him; eagles soared in the sky, fish swam in the shallows, and all kinds of creatures competed freely under the frosty sky, peaceful and serene.

But then one day, somewhere on earth, towering trees suddenly sprang up. Their roots spread wildly, greedily drawing all the nutrients from the earth to grow stronger. From high above, it looked like a drop of green ink falling into clear water, instantly turning a pool of water dark green.

Green should be the color of life. But Dongfang Yao did not feel the embrace and vitality of nature from it. Instead, he saw it as an extreme form of plunder and a chaotic force that devoured everything.

As if provoked, the bright moon high in the sky turned blood red, and the magatama on it emitted a desolate light of decay with each rotation.

The crimson light clashed with the dark green light, causing countless lives to be born and destroyed, and the destructive power swept across the entire world time and time again.

Soon, everything on this land withered and desolate, a scene of utter devastation. The once fertile soil dried up, cracked, and riddled with abyss-like fissures. It gradually crumbled and disintegrated.

Dongfang Yao could only watch helplessly as all of this happened, unable to do anything about it.

But just as this world was about to collapse and be destroyed, a ball of flame descended from the sky, bringing warmth and light to this dying world.

The flames merged with the moon, and its scarlet color disappeared, transforming into a warm and comforting wine red, bringing life-giving energy to the world like the sun.

The scattered sparks fell to the ground, quickly igniting into a raging inferno. The giant trees on the ground ceased their plundering and expansion, turning to dust in the flames. It wasn't a complete annihilation of life, but rather the decay of their branches into mud, returning nutrients to the earth.

Dongfang Yao could clearly sense an unprecedented surge of vitality brewing deep within the earth.

......

"I'm still alive."

Dongfang Yao opened his eyes, looked at the fair arm in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He's still alive! He made the right bet! The blood of Hestia really worked on him.

The goddess Hestia of this world may have a loli-like face, but it would be a grave mistake to underestimate her because of that.

As one of the three virgin goddesses, Hestia is the goddess of the "inextinguishable sacred fire," symbolizing the "continuation of life." The core of her divinity lies in "immortality," representing an eternal and inviolable will. Her status is so high that even Zeus was awestruck.

The blood of such a goddess is of great benefit to life and will.

Therefore, obtaining the goddess's blood to harmonize and tame the rampaging power within him became Dongfang Yao's urgent choice.

As for the others... it's not that Dongfang Yao didn't want to make a proper comparison, but time simply didn't allow it. This was already the most reliable method he could think of within the limited time available.

And the facts proved Dongfang Yao's guess to be true.

When this divine blood entered the body, it instantly became the MVP of the entire scene. The rampaging Hashirama cells and the stressed Uchiha bloodline all became well-behaved and were integrated and sublimated under the purification of the sacred fire.

Looking at his wine-red two-tomoe Sharingan in the mirror, and then at his arm that moved freely and smoothly between wood and flesh at his will, he was filled with confidence in his future.

"Danzo, Orochimaru, you didn't expect that I, Dongfang Yao, would still be alive." Dongfang Yao sneered, "Just wait, I will settle our scores one by one."

Just as Dongfang Yao was feeling happy about his new life, there was a commotion outside the door, and two female voices entered his ears.

......

"Hestia, it's one thing for you to freeload here, but why did you bring someone with you this time?" A slightly hoarse, mature female voice rang out, sounding both helpless and disappointed.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao's heart stirred, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"Well... I had no choice." A familiar loli voice rang out, defending her actions. "This child is badly injured. I can't use my divine power to save him, and I don't have the money to hire a mage, so I had no choice but to come to you, Hephaestus."

"You can't even take care of yourself, yet you're thinking of taking care of others?" Hephaestus was both amused and annoyed. But Dongfang Yao detected a hint of doting in her voice.

Just like those elders who say, "Why are you such a troublesome child?" but feel very gratified inside.

"Hmph, as a god, I can't just sit idly by and watch a child yearning for help." Although he couldn't see her, Dongfang Yao still pictured a proud little goddess with her hands on her hips in his mind.

"Clap clap clap—"

Hephaestus clapped her hands repeatedly and exclaimed, "Very good, very ambitious!"

"Hey." Hestia scratched her head and grinned foolishly.

"But ambitious goddess Hestia, when do you plan to establish your own kin and become self-reliant?" Hephaestus changed the subject, almost causing Hestia's slender waist to buckle.

"Well... in short, I'll definitely try my best to find it. I've gained some experience recently, and I believe I'll find my first familiar soon." The loli goddess Hestia was still being stubborn.

"Experience? Experience of being rejected?" Hephaestus mercilessly exposed Hestia's little trick, making the loli goddess feel as if an arrow had been stabbed in the chest.

"That...that's...those guys don't know what's good for them. If I just give myself some more time to show my strengths, I'm sure many children from the lower realms will be begging to join my kin." Hestia said, nodding vigorously. Yes, that's exactly it.

"Why bother looking? The guy you saved is a great candidate. Hmm... at least he's good-looking enough to attract a lot of naive young girls." Hephaestus was referring to Dongfang Yao.

The fact that the other person was still thinking of saving others despite being seriously injured shows that they are not a bad person. Joining the simple-minded Hestia's ranks would be a good thing.

Moreover, the other party didn't receive any favors, yet their speed of attack was no less than that of a LV.2 adventurer. They even managed to heal themselves from such severe injuries, clearly indicating a promising talent. With such a promising prospect in hand, Hestia's life should be a bit easier.

It has to be said that, as a fellow god, she really went to great lengths to care for this loli god.

Of course, this was because she was unaware that Dongfang Yao had "bit back" at Hestia. If she had known, she probably would have reconsidered.

"It does seem like a good idea..." Hestia was tempted, but quickly realized, "Wait a minute, wouldn't that make me take advantage of someone's kindness? I can't do that!"

"Idiot!" Hephaestus rubbed her forehead. "What are these children from the lower realms doing in Orario? Aren't they just here to become adventurers? This guy doesn't even have a single blessing yet, so he obviously needs to join a familia. Instead of letting him wait in long lines among those large familias for the gods to update his stats, wouldn't it be better for you, the god, to provide one-on-one service? Think about it carefully."

After saying this, Hephaestus gave Hestia a deep look, then turned and left.

Hestia fell into deep thought. "It seems that what Hephaestus said...makes some sense."

Hestia was lost in thought when she opened the door and went inside, where she saw Dongfang Yao sitting up.

"You're awake? How are you feeling now?" Hestia put her worries aside and walked to the bedside to ask with concern.

"I'm much better now. But... where am I?" Confusion appeared on Dongfang Yao's face.

"This is the Hephaestus Familia. I asked them to help carry you here." Hestia patted her chest, quite pleased with herself, with a "come praise me" expression on her face.

"I see. Thank you for saving me!" Dongfang Yao's words were sincere. He had a good impression of this pure and kind-hearted goddess. "You're amazing, managing to command such a large clan."

"Well, well, I am a goddess after all," Hestia said modestly, waving her hand. "And please, don't use all those formalities, just call me Hestia. By the way, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Dongfang Yao. You can just call me Yao," Dongfang Yao said.

"Oh, such a name...it seems you're from the Far East." Hestia nodded happily. The fact that she was willing to call her by her first name showed she was an easy-going child.

Remembering Hephaestus's words, Hestia glanced at Dongfang Yao, then lowered her head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Yao-kun, you haven't joined a familia yet, have you?"

"Yes." Dongfang Yao smiled wryly, "I doubt any clan would even look at someone as nobody as me."

"Don't underestimate yourself. I think you're quite good." Hestia quickly waved her hand, pointing repeatedly with two fingers. "Well, my kin is short-handed, would you like to come? Don't worry, as the chief god, I am..."

"I do!"

Before Hestia could even begin to speak, Dongfang Yao's words made her swallow her words back, and she almost choked on her own saliva.

"What did you say?" she asked, still incredulous.

"I wish to join the Hestia Familia." Dongfang Yao looked directly into Hestia's eyes and said earnestly, "You saved my life, which means you are an upright and kind deity. And you are so lovely and beautiful, so I have decided to join!"

"Oh, it's not as good as you say," Hestia said modestly, but her legs were already hopping around non-stop. She was as happy as a little girl who had won her favorite plush toy in a lottery.

As a deity, she could discern the truth from falsehood in mortal words. It was precisely because of this that receiving the most sincere praise from the children of the mortal realm brought her such joy and happiness. Not to mention, the person who spoke these words had a very persuasive face.

"Don't get too excited yet, I have a condition." Dongfang Yao was a little dizzy from being blinded by the headlights, so he quickly waved his hand and said.

"Okay, go ahead." Hestia stopped and looked nervously at Dongfang Yao.

"I joined the clan to become stronger, so I need more freedom of movement to better train myself. I hope you won't interfere in this matter."

"Oh, I see." Hestia breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry, why would I force my clan's child to do something he doesn't like?"

"In that case, there's no problem." Dongfang Yao nodded. "Please take care of me in the future, Hestia."

"Great!" Hestia jumped for joy again. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at Dongfang Yao. "Now there's only one most important thing left."

"What?"

"Without further ado, I'll plant the seed of grace upon you immediately," Hestia said decisively. She couldn't let other gods snatch away the familiar she had finally found; she had to get it stamped first.

"What..." Dongfang Yao had barely uttered a syllable when the loli goddess pushed him down onto the bed. With a "plop," a lot of weight suddenly appeared on his back, and the soft, elastic touch went straight to his brain through the skin of his waist.

"This guy really doesn't consider himself an outsider," Dongfang Yao remarked, without offering any resistance. He had heard of the world's great favors and wanted to experience them for himself.

Hestia took out a steel needle and gently pricked her fingertip. Two drops of crystal-clear blood fell onto Dongfang Yao's back. Accompanied by Hestia's divine incantation, her fair and jade-like fingers traced mysterious patterns on Dongfang Yao's back, and a gentle white light immediately shone out.

In the light, Hestia's divine blood flowed and combined on her skin like a living thing, forming intricate characters and symbols. These characters were not static tattoos, but rather light emblems floating on her skin, slowly rotating and arranging themselves before finally settling into complex and exquisite patterns.

It was a burning flame, a flame emblem composed of sacred text.

With the appearance of this fire emblem, Dongfang Yao's personal information also came to light.

"Dongfang Yao".
