The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Moreover, judging from the situation when Xiaoyu returned, it is very likely that Xiaoyu has already gained the favor of the Mountain God.

All things considered, choosing small fish as sacrificial offerings is the best option.

As for the child named Xiaojiao...

We'll arrange a woman for him after a while, and he'll forget about her soon enough.

However, what the riverside horn didn't expect was that the little horn, after entering the village, didn't return to his room, but instead went straight through the village.

Before the dark and deep forest.

Xiaojiao turned around and looked in the direction where Xiaoyu was.

Even though the village buildings blocked his view, he could still seem to see the little fish, who was now covering its face in fear.

After a brief glance, Xiaojiao turned her head, her gaze more determined than ever before.

"I will definitely save you."

After saying that, Xiaojiao plunged into the forest and followed the route he remembered, making his way to the mountain peak.

The reason why Xiaojiao didn't continue to beg his father was because...

It was because he knew he wasn't enough to change his father's mind.

The only thing that can save the little fish.

The only deity worshipped in the village was the mountain god whom only Xiaoyu had ever seen.

[Chapter 428 First Encounter with the Gods and Their Guidance]

Shi Sangyan's body was enormous, which caused its blood to continuously flow down the mountainside after it was crushed by Uchiha Tunan.

Under the cover of night, the mountain peaks looked like melting candles.

The forests of this era are silent at night.

Because making a sound will attract the enemy.

The viscous blood slowly flowing down the mountainside was a great tonic for those wild beasts.

However, because Shi Sangyan's commotion was so terrifying, all the wild animals nearby had already fled.

Only insects kept swarming towards the mountain peak, greedily sucking its blood.

As dawn approached, the little horn, its body stained with blood, finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

In the dimly lit mountaintop jungle, there were scattered pieces of foul-smelling flesh and blood.

Even the wisps of steam rising from the hot spring were tinged with a faint crimson.

Having just climbed to the top of the mountain, Xiao Jiao saw this scene, swallowed hard in fear, and then mustered his courage to search while shouting:

"Lord Mountain God!"

"Lord Mountain God!"

.......

*Smack*

Xiao Jiao lifted his foot, looked down and stared intently, only to find a piece of Shi Sangyan's flesh lying quietly beneath his feet.

However, judging from its appearance, it's basically just minced meat.

The bloody scene of the towering stone hand crushing Shi Sangyan involuntarily came to mind.

Is this the power of the gods...?

"Gurgle~"

If Xiaojiao previously only felt fear towards the so-called mountain god, he has now begun to develop awe towards it.

"Huh~"

A sudden gust of wind swept across the mountaintop, shaking the branches and leaves of the large trees and making a whooshing sound.

It was this gust of wind that instantly dispersed the thin mist that shrouded the mountaintop.

Xiaojiao's vision also became clear.

All around, the forest was dense, with heavy shadows of trees.

Looking ahead, the dense, towering trees obstruct the view, with only tiny gaps between them, so small that one would almost instinctively ignore them.

But one of the slits in the field of vision seemed to have a magical power, drawing Xiaojiao's gaze towards it.

It seems that the whole world consists of only that one line of scenery.

A straight figure stands on the water's surface, where wisps of smoke float.

Judging from its outline, it's no different from a human.

This is the man the little fish was talking about, the mountain god, right?

Xiao Jiao pursed her lips, her heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

If the other party were just an ordinary human being, I would definitely rush up and skin them alive right now.

But the opponent is a mountain god capable of easily crushing monsters like Shi Sangyan...

Xiao Jiao suddenly shook his head, shaking off the random thoughts in his mind.

The most important thing now is to ask the mountain god not to make the little fish a sacrifice.

The next moment, Xiaojiao took a deep breath and ran off in the direction of the departing figure.

Upon reaching the edge of the hot spring, he immediately knelt on the ground, pounded his head on the ground, and exclaimed excitedly:

"Mountain God, please allow me to take the place of Little Fish as your offering."

Uchiha Tonan, who possessed terrifying perception abilities, knew everything about the primitive people living at the foot of the mountain.

Naturally, he also knew what the young primitive man behind him was there for.

Originally, Uchiha Tonan did not intend to pay any attention to these primitive people.

Unexpectedly, they actually planned to worship him as a god.

This is interesting.

Although Uchiha Tonan is currently far from becoming a god, becoming a god can be considered one of Uchiha Tonan's ultimate goals.

It wouldn't be bad to practice on these primitive people first.

Xiaojiao rested his head on the ground and waited for a long time.

Finally, a deep, resonant voice rang out from the calm water.

"In the process of civilization development, intelligent life generally goes through theocratic civilization, monarchical civilization, and civil civilization."

Based on my limited understanding of you, you have not yet developed the proper civilization.

Whoever has the biggest fist has the power to control the fate of others.

However, since everyone's strength is roughly the same, almost every strong individual can possess some power.

Such power is extremely decentralized and uncohesive.

Uchiha Tonan used the language he learned after searching Xiaoyu's mind, which was also the local language.

Although Xiaojiao could understand what Uchiha Tonan was saying, he didn't quite understand what the mountain god in front of him meant.

Puzzled, he slowly raised his head to look ahead.

A gentle breeze blew across the mountaintop, lifting the wisps of smoke from the water's surface.

Xiao Jiao then noticed that the mountain god in front of him was actually standing on the water.

Just then, Uchiha Tonan continued speaking to himself:

"Power usually brings with it an inflated desire that no one is willing to give up."

Therefore, to maintain power in the long term, one needs the strength to subdue everyone.

Even if this power doesn't belong to you, or even if it doesn't exist at all.

And so the gods were born.

At this point, three tomoe appeared in Uchiha Tonan's eyes, and he lowered his gaze to look at the calm water.

In the blink of an eye, the view pierced through the mountain and looked directly at the village downstream.

The village had already prepared for the sacrificial ceremony.

The riverside horn gathered all the villagers together, and the sacrificial ceremony could be held after dawn.

As for the missing little horn, the riverside big horn has not had time to search for it yet.

Looking at the villagers standing in a crowd before him, the man on the riverbank by the altar proclaimed in a loud voice:

"From now on, I will not only be the village chief of this village, but also the priest who serves the mountain god."

I will serve the Mountain God diligently, and pray that he will protect us so that we can live in peace.

.......

Uchiha Tonan found these ignorant primitives quite amusing.

As for the psychology behind the leader of this primitive man serving him.

Uchiha Tonan didn't care.

At this moment, Xiaojiao, who had been worried about the little fish, prayed loudly again:

"Mountain God, I beg you, please replace the offering with me!"

On the water's surface, Uchiha Tonan smiled smugly upon hearing this, shook his head, and said:

“It is not that I want you to offer sacrifices to me, but that your father needs to offer sacrifices to me.”

So, you've asked the wrong person for help.

"real!"

When Xiaojiao heard that Uchiha Tonan had not asked the villagers to perform the sacrifice, his eyes lit up with surprise.

Then he realized what was happening and muttered in confusion:
