Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 47 Lightning Release: Lightning Burial!! (Seeking monthly votes!!)

At this moment, Wochao Village was already submerged in the dim night.

The blood mist that suddenly rose in the distance turned the moon crimson.

Many people who looked up instinctively took a half step back; the noise and unease rose rapidly like boiling water.

However, several ninjas stepped forward to control the situation, and there was no riot or stampede.

"What happened?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"Why today of all days!"

"Could it be that the enemy has invaded?"

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell around the speaker.

The moonlight illuminated the faces of the crowd, which were filled with disbelief and shock, and an enormous commotion erupted that even the Uzumaki ninjas could not control.

Darkness, like a surging tide, roared and washed over the entire street.

Many people looked at each other, their faces filled with panic and helplessness, as if they could hear each other's thunderous heartbeats and rapid breathing.

They didn't know what was happening, but they sensed that something terrible was quietly taking place.

"What happened?"

Uzumaki Yoji suddenly lowered his entire body, tightly gripping his daughter Yoko's small hand, and his expression became extremely ugly.

The streets fell into dead silence; nothing could be seen or heard.

"All ninjas, organize the villagers to go..." Yang Jie shouted, about to say something.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a deep chill and subconsciously looked up at the deep night sky.

"They've arrived." Nagato's tone was calm, as if he had expected it.

"Hahaha!"

The silence was first broken by an unusually shrill laugh, as sharp as a baby's throat.

Then, under the dim moonlight, two figures fell from the sky with an incredibly heavy thud, like a hammer slamming into everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, it's time to clear the area, hahaha!"

A piercing laugh rang out, and Yang Jie's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes reflecting the azure light!

The azure light rising from the crowd was reminiscent of the sunrise on the coastline.

The rising sun can bathe half the sea and sky in its light, and it can also illuminate the face of everyone present, making those who witness it feel a stinging pain in their eyes.

No, that's not "the rising sun".

"Run!!" Uzumaki Yangjie let out an extremely mournful roar.

In the next moment, the light shone to its fullest extent, like a newborn sun in the darkness.

But what it radiates is not sunlight.

Instead, it's thunder!!

"Lightning Release..." In the very center of that azure light, Raiga Kurosugi, wielding his lightning sword, Kiba, calmly declared, "Lightning Burial!!"

A towering, azure beam of light descended from the night sky.

An irregular sphere quickly formed from the ground.

If lightning in the sky is a fleeting branch, then this is a giant tree that grows after the lightning strikes the ground.

boom!!!

The last ray of white light from the pillar reached its peak, illuminating almost the entire Wochao Village and most of the dark night sky.

"Cough cough! Cough!!"

Yuzuri was stunned. Although he had regained consciousness, his ears were still ringing.

"Hey! Hey! Wake up!"

The shouts around him grew louder as they drew closer, and his senses gradually returned.

Soon, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and his head throbbed with pain. Then, a strong smell of black smoke and sulfur rushed into Xuanwu Yangjie's nostrils.

It even had a strange meaty smell.

The nauseating smell made his face turn pale, and he couldn't help but dry heave.

"Ugh!! Cough cough!"

Yang Jie lay on the ground with tears streaming down his face, his vision gradually returning. The white snowflakes in front of him slowly turned into a hazy orange-red.

"What's going on..." Yang Jie's expression turned ferocious as he reached out to hold his throbbing head.

When he opened his dry eyes and looked up blankly, he was completely dumbfounded.

Firelight, firelight soaring into the sky.

Scorched earth, a vast expanse of scorched earth.

All he could see was desolation, thick white smoke, and scorched ground.

"Are you awake now? Do you need me to slap you again?"

Just then, a cold yet childish voice rang in my ears.

Yang Jie subconsciously turned his head to look at his side, only to see the blindfolded kid looking at him, holding his daughter Yizi in his arms.

"Yiko!"

His eyes widened instantly. He braced himself against the ground and half-scrambled to his feet, but the dizziness caused him to fall again. He tried several times but couldn't get up.

He was prevented from falling to the ground until Nagato reached out and supported his arm.

"You caught your daughter before the attack came down, and only suffered some scrapes."

Nagato turned to look into the distance, his voice low and complicated as he said, "If someone hadn't blocked that ninjutsu..."

At this moment, Yang Jie's chaotic mind cleared, and he remembered that terrifying lightning ninjutsu.

"Village, villagers..."

His face was deathly pale as he looked at the epicenter of the explosion where the smoke and dust had dissipated, and saw the deep crater that had appeared amidst the ruins and scorched earth.

Within a hundred meters of the crater, dozens of charred figures lay, their fates unknown.

Illuminated by the burning flames, four charred corpses still stood in the square pit.

They maintained the gesture they made before their death, forming a mudra with their hands that read "寅".

"That seal... the Four Purple Flame Array."

Staring at the four charred corpses whose faces were no longer recognizable, Yang Jie's voice was as hoarse as a broken bellows: "They used the Four Purple Flame Array to protect the other villagers, at the cost of their own lives."

The Four Purple Flame Formation is a barrier ninjutsu that requires four people to work together to activate. The last seal is the "Tiger" seal.

The casting animation for that lightning release ninjutsu was only a few seconds long, meaning that the four ninjas didn't even hesitate at all...

"I take back what I said." Nagato suddenly spoke, paused for a moment, and then continued, "It is disappointing to indulge in a false peace, but the will to protect one's comrades is dazzling enough."

These so-called "relatives" still have aspects that he approves of.

Just then, Nagato's expression suddenly froze.

Two figures slowly emerged from the dust and mist.

"Oh dear, this is so disappointing."

Muli Jinba grinned, revealing sharp teeth, then looked at Kurosuki Raiga and let out a cruel and bizarre laugh: "Your strongest move was actually blocked."

Black Hoe Raiya, holding a thunder blade in each hand, ignored him, only looking at the four still-standing charred corpses with regret, and sighed, "Of all the funerals I've held, this is the one that has moved me the most."

Seeing that he ignored her, Wu Li Shenba snorted coldly and looked at the vortex Yang Jie leaning against the wall in the distance.

"Um?"

Wuli Jinpachi blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Weren't there two people there just now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound.

The next moment, the short figure appeared silently behind him.

Her pale, rough fingers gripped the short knife, and she stabbed it menacingly toward Muli Jinpachi's neck.
