The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Why...why must Father sacrifice the little fish?"

You clearly didn't ask for anything.

I will go and tell my father right now that you are a kind and great god, and that you do not need human sacrifices.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled softly and murmured:

"It's no use. No one will believe you unless I speak up myself."

In this world, the living are always more valuable than the dead.

But why does the practice of human sacrifice still exist, even in a small village like yours?

Have you ever thought about this?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiao recalled the various strange stories the village elders had told him, and said in a deep voice:

"It's because besides you, there are evil gods in this world who like to devour souls."

That's why this evil ritual has been passed down.

"The power to choose who will be sacrificed is a powerful deterrent."

Those who possess the power to decide the life and death of their kind with a single word also possess the power to fully enjoy the resources of their tribe.

As he spoke, Uchiha Tonan slowly turned around.

This was the first time Kozuki had seen Uchiha Tonan's appearance, so he didn't show too much surprise.

After all, he's a man, so he wouldn't be as smitten as Xiaoyu was when she first met Uchiha Tunan.

My understanding of gods was almost blank.

In a short period of time, Kozuki subconsciously labeled Uchiha Tonan's image as that of a god.

In the future, he may continue to believe that gods are just like this, only a little whiter and better looking than ordinary humans.

It was unclear whether Xiaojiao understood what Uchiha Tonan had just said; he muttered with a puzzled expression:

"But why must it be a small fish...?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, took a step and slowly walked towards Kozuki, and said leisurely:

"As long as disaster does not befall those who are capable of resisting, people can gradually develop habits."

Over time, it became a custom, or even an inviolable rule.

By then, the selection of human sacrifices will no longer be limited to the weak who drag the tribe down.

It could be an individual within the group who is too powerful and difficult to control.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan had already left the water and arrived in front of Kozuki, looking down at him with a gentle expression as Kozuki looked up at him with a blank expression:

"Go back and beg your father now; it might not be too late."

Being so close to the deity in his heart, Xiao Jiao felt an inexplicable pressure, a pressure that was stuck in his chest.

Even breathing became difficult, and thoughts were more chaotic than ever before.

After a long while, Koukaku gasped for breath, as if his mind had suddenly opened up, and he understood what Uchiha Tonan had said earlier. He then repeatedly bowed to Uchiha Tonan and said:

"My father won't listen to me..."

Please, only you can save Xiaoyu now.

No matter how ambitious Father may be, he would not dare to disobey your will.

“I am very interested in becoming a god, and I have been working towards that goal.”

Uchiha Tonan shook his head slightly and said, then slowly took out a Buddha statue from his ninja tool bag and placed it in front of Kozuki.

This Buddha statue was obtained by Uchiha Tonan through his sincerity before he traveled through time.

It's just a useless little thing, but it's not bad to give it to the first believer who meets you.

But then Uchiha Tonan pointed to the Buddha statue and said:

“A proper god should not speak, just like him.”
