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

Chapter 81 Yearning for the azure sky, yet unaware of its vastness (Seeking monthly votes!!)

"..."

Faced with Yun Chuan's gentle inquiry, Shen Nong's pupils only slightly contracted, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Or rather, he didn't know how to describe the person standing in front of him...

--"monster".

"Zero-Tail: Void" was not a ninjutsu developed by Shennong; it is a monster that actually exists in the ninja world in a special form.

Its core is the power that Shennong named "Dark Chakra," which originates from the darkness and desires in the human heart.

People always say that the Nine-Tails is a "collection of hatred," but in Shennong's view, the Zero-Tails is the real "collection of hatred."

No, it's not just hatred.

There is also pain, anger, jealousy, fear, resentment, hatred...

"Zero-Tails" is an aggregate of negative emotions and darkness in the human heart. It is a monster that resembles a tailed beast and cannot be completely destroyed!

Because as long as humans live, they will have desires, and desires can turn into malice and darkness.

As long as human malice and darkness persist, "Zero Tail," as a dark aggregate, will not die; even if it disintegrates, it will absorb malice again and reassemble.

Having mastered the "Zero-Tails" and "Dark Chakra," Shennong naturally possessed a keen sensitivity to human malice and darkness.

"...I believe I have met many eccentric villains, whose hearts are filled with malice and darkness."

Shennong's eyes gleamed as he stared at the figure in the distance, and he sneered, "But I have never seen anyone as thoroughly evil as you."

"Your malice and darkness are overflowing; just seeing you sends chills down my spine!"

His gaze seemed to want to devour everything, but he felt that his gaze was falling on empty space.

Because in his eyes, Yun Chuan was not a living, breathing person.

That was clearly a blood-red shadow exuding the aura of the abyss!

A misty light descended from above, while indescribable shadows swirled around him.

Divided by the light between the two, one stands in bright light, while the other is shrouded in cold gloom, the tones of light and dark are separated.

Yun Chuan's figure was shrouded in that shadow, making it difficult for Shennong to distinguish between reality and illusion, and to see through the essence hidden beneath the shadow.

Shennong once pondered a question.

"Zero-Tail" is an aggregate of human malice and darkness. So, to what extent can the malice of an individual human reach?

The moment this guy appeared, he knew the answer was right in front of him.

It's hard to believe that such blatant malice and darkness could appear so purely and concisely in a human being.

However, after realizing this fact, Shennong had new doubts.

Why is that guy still standing there unharmed?

Although he didn't know what the darkness in the other person's heart was, he felt a chilling malice and darkness about them.

The mind and spirit should have long since lost all human rationality, and instead become trapped in a vortex of instinct and desire like a wild beast.

The moment they stepped in and saw him, the other party should have rushed over without hesitation, torn his body apart, and quenched his thirst for blood and flesh.

But why was that guy still able to stand there and greet him gently?

It was clearly a malicious act that defied communication and reason.

"Because I have no hostility towards you."

The "shadow" in front of him spoke, its genuine and gentle voice full of rationality, and carrying an unexpected sincerity from Shennong.

"...Who are you?"

Shennong remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "I believe you have no hostility, but I also know that you must have something to ask for."

The dark aura surrounding his eyes seemed to dissipate slightly, and he finally saw Yun Chuan's youthful face clearly.

They're way too young.

However, as long as the other party is a "person" and cannot exploit his darkness and malice, he can remain invincible.

Malice is not the same as strength.

"I come from a small country just like you. I know about your plan to invade Konoha and want to give you a warning and a choice."

Yun Chuan did not answer Shen Nong, but instead said with a smile, "With your current weak strength, even the Third Hokage wouldn't need to take action. As long as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki steps forward, it would be enough to easily destroy you."

"Whether it's your prized ninja tools or your trump card, the 'Zero-Tails,' they are all incredibly fragile in the face of a great ninja village."

External forces are ultimately just external forces; they still require human intervention to control them. Ninja tools can only add icing on the cake and play a limited supporting role.

If the aerial ninjas possess strong overall abilities and master the form and nature transformations of Wind Release chakra, they can control flying ninja tools more quickly and skillfully.

This would prevent them from being easily defeated by Yun Chuan despite having an air advantage, just like before.

"What do you want?" Shennong narrowed his eyes in displeasure and asked again.

"I hope you can bring your Sky Ninja Village to join us."

Yun Chuan looked into Shennong's eyes and said sincerely, "We have similar enemies and demands."

However, after hearing Yun Chuan's heartfelt words, Shen Nong's face turned cold.

"Let me join you? You make it sound so nice, but it's really just plunder."

He slowly stood up and said in a cold voice, "Although I don't know why you know so much about our situation, you seem to have some misconceptions about our strength."

A faint black chakra appeared on his clenched fist, and his strong muscles surged with powerful vitality and strength, but he just stared at Yun Chuan in front of him without throwing a punch.

Those blood-red shadows that couldn't be dispersed by the CD player were the concrete manifestation of that guy's malice.

He felt that if he suddenly threw a punch now, it would only pass through that hazy, bloody shadow, and his fist wouldn't get a single drop of blood or flesh on it.

This strange and eerie feeling made Shennong hesitate for a moment.

"As expected."

Seeing this, Yun Chuan looked helpless and said with a hint of melancholy, "Another idiot who can't understand human language."

Having said that, he looked up at Shennong in the distance, put on a humble smile again, and said, "I'll ask one last time, I genuinely want to cooperate. Can we sit down and have a proper talk?"

"Although I don't understand where your darkness and malice come from..."

Shennong just stared at him and sneered, slowly raising his right hand and mocking, "But rather than cooperating with a guy like you, I'd rather feed you to my Zero Tail."

This guy's malice is enough to feed Zero-Tails and give him an extra Dark Chakra Energy Cannon.

"roar!"

Thinking of this, a greedy glint flashed in Shennong's eyes, his bulging muscles arched unconsciously, and a roar like that of a wild beast came from his throat.

Dark chakra condensed and compressed in his palm, about to transform into a chakra ball like particles.

But in the next moment.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, and his physical transformation technique was instantly interrupted.

Bang! !

No one saw when Yun Chuan made his move; in an instant, a suffocating killing intent arose.

The explosive wind whipped up the surroundings, and the stone chair behind Shennong shattered, scattering fragments of stone in all directions.

A hand violently grabbed Shennong's throat, sending him flying backward, crashing through the stone chair!

Click! Click!

The moment his neck was struck by tremendous force, his hands and feet flew up uncontrollably until he was pressed against the wall behind him. Blood spilled from both sides of Shennong's mouth, and his thick neck made a crisp cracking sound.

"It seems you won't listen to reason."

Yun Chuan looked up at Shen Nong, who was staring in astonishment, and said calmly, "Poor frog in a well, yearning for the blue of the sky, yet unaware of its vastness."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists inch by inch, gradually tearing open Shennong's neck and cracking his cervical vertebrae.

"Hehe!"

As Shennong was lifted into the air, his eyes widened, and blood seeped from the torn corners of his eyes. His golden pupils, which had shrunk in fear, were stained a terrifying red by the blood.

So fast!

How could it be so fast?

Looking at that expressionless face and feeling the increasing pressure on his neck, Shennong's eyes showed a hint of fear.

This guy really wants to kill me!

One second they were laughing and discussing things, the next they were going to kill me?!

With such a crazy, terrifying, malicious, and dark "monster," I really shouldn't have underestimated his personality based on his appearance and age!

This seemingly gentle and friendly boy is actually a madman with unpredictable temper!

"cough!"

Shennong coughed up blood and, with all his might, roared in a hoarse voice, "Zero Tail!!"

His hysterical screams echoed through the vast space.

The next moment, a deafening explosion echoed through the air.

boom!!!

The entire wall behind Shennong shattered instantly, and flying debris grazed Yun Chuan's face and body.

"Eeya!!"

Shennong's roar was like opening Pandora's box. A piercing and strange shriek came from behind the broken wall, and several thick, pale yellow tentacles shattered and pierced through the wall!

In an instant, the ground beneath Yun Chuan's feet collapsed, the cracks caved in like an avalanche, and countless rubble and clods of earth fell downwards!

The momentary loss of power was seized by the monster behind the wall. Its giant, snake-like tentacles wrapped around Shennong's body and pulled him back from Yun Chuan's grasp.

Yun Chuan didn't dwell on it, but just took a deep look at Shennong, and stepped on a falling rock in the air where he had nothing to rely on.

Immediately, the ground beneath his feet shattered the loose rocks he had been using as leverage, and following the direction of the tentacles, he swiftly rushed into the deep, dark space below!

It wasn't until Yun Chuan clearly saw the strange runes that filled the entire space, and the transparent "giant cocoon" hanging in the very center of the space.

Boom!dong dong!

Yun Chuan's heart suddenly stopped for a moment, then began to beat even more violently.

"I see." His eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips. "It's a good thing!"

Just then, a thick tentacle suddenly extended from the giant cocoon.

The air was sucked out with a loud, ear-piercing sound as an unreasonable force slammed into Yun Chuan in mid-air!

I updated 7,000 words today, and there's another chapter coming out at midnight, so I can wait until I wake up tomorrow to read it.

That said, shouldn't we be able to use chapter cards for 3,000 words? If so, I'll start posting 3,000-word chapters from now on.
