Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

He then abandoned his 'arrogance' and walked towards the enormous horse-slaying sword.

This sword is longer than a regular katana just from its hilt, and the blade is wide and thick, making it look incredibly heavy.

Matt Kai stood before it, his rugged and fierce appearance contrasting sharply with his comical image in a green bodysuit.

“You’re the one!” Might Guy took a deep breath, his eyes becoming focused and serious.

He stretched out his hands, without the hesitation or skill of others, and firmly grasped the hilt of the knife in the most direct and pure way.

hum! !

The moment Might Guy gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, something unexpected happened!

The 'Gluttony' weapon, which had been as lifeless as a corpse, suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly loud buzzing sound!

"This……"

"It actually reacted?!"

Exclamations rose and fell, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Might Guy and the sword in his hand. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but take a step forward.

Might Guy was startled, feeling a chilling sensation flow into his arms through the hilt of his sword.

"Drink!"

Might Guy let out a low growl, and the muscles in his arms instantly bulged, with veins popping out beneath his skin.

laugh! !

A piercing, teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out!

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, he actually pulled the 'Gluttony' sword out of its case!

A cold and violent crimson aura emanated from the sword case. Might Guy gripped the huge saber tightly with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing diagonally at the ground.

Did it work? !

The square was deathly silent. No one expected that the guy everyone secretly jokingly called "the rare beast" would become the only one to pull out the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Moreover, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' that a guy who torments himself like a madman pulls out is actually the 'Gluttony' weapon?

Nara Shikaku looked at Might Guy holding 'Gluttony', then looked at Hinata Kumokawa with a surprised expression.

“Gluttony, Kai, how is this possible?” he couldn’t help but ask. “Yun Chuan, how did you figure that out?”

Hinata Kumokawa simply smiled, thinking about the origin of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The concept of the "seven deadly sins" comes from the Bible and consists of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The reason why the "Seven Deadly Sins" are considered original sins is because their essence is that they all attempt to replace the central position of "God".

It is precisely because these so-called seven deadly sins distort the rules created by God and disrupt the order and hierarchy between humans and gods, and between humans themselves, that they are called "original sins".

For example, gluttony, one of the "seven deadly sins"...

“Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”

Hinata Kumokawa said softly, "You must first seek his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

"This is a sentence I once saw in a book about folk religions. Isn't it quite fitting to use it to describe the opposite of the word 'gluttony'?"

"..."

Nara Shikaku froze on the spot, staring blankly at Hinata Kumokawa, his mind replaying those two sentences.

"That's it, that's it."

After a long silence, he lowered his head and murmured, "The blood of all gods must end with the sword. So that's what it means."

"The so-called seven deadly sins, what they all have in common is actually 'rebellion' against God?"

Nara Shikaku didn't know that these two passages came from the Gospels of Matthew and John in the New Testament of the Bible, but he could understand their meaning.

It means that as long as you believe in Him, you will never experience spiritual or physical hunger, because all the "food" you can obtain is His gift.

In the Bible, the body is a gift from God, a temple and "house" of the Holy Spirit, meant to serve and glorify God, while man himself is merely a "steward".

The opposite of "binge eating" is "moderation," which means restraint and self-discipline in controlling one's body.

As it says in Proverbs, “Do not associate with those who love wine or meat, for those who love wine and meat will become poor.”

If you don't have enough food, it's not God's fault, but rather God's instruction for you to practice "moderation." Simply put, it means being content, grateful, and not demanding.

Therefore, the so-called "binge eating" does not only refer to the literal meaning of unrestrained craving for "food," but also to dissatisfaction with everything God has given us.

The reason why "bulimia" is considered an original sin is that bulimiars are not satisfied with the physical characteristics or living conditions that God has given them, and thus disobey God's authority.

This discontent manifests as an attempt to satisfy oneself through material means, such as excessive food consumption; it is a kind of physical transgression and rebellion.

It's like saying...

God, you haven't given me enough, not enough. I will find my own way to satisfy myself.

God, or more accurately, a deity, desires that humanity wait for the rain to fall like plants, and that whatever falls, whether thunder or dew, is a divine blessing.

Despite not being born with chakra talent, Might Guy, even though he knew he was inferior to others, still ignored their cold stares and ridicule, constantly struggling to acquire more to satisfy himself.

Matt Kay, possessing this trait, committed the original sin of "gluttony".

"So……"

Nara Shikaku suddenly raised his head, looked at Hinata Kumokawa, and said, "The greed, envy, and sloth that were extracted earlier, and the remaining pride, lust, and wrath..."

“Yes.” Hinata Kumokawa nodded and said softly, “It all means rebellion against the ‘divine will’.”

"Greed" is the excessive desire for and hoarding of material wealth, money, or resources, which violates God's sovereignty as the true owner of all wealth.

As Luke says, “Be sober-minded and avoid all forms of greed, for a person’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

Hinata Kumokawa could not deny this point; he had always been craving more wealth, status, and power.

"Jealousy" is the hatred of God's grace manifested in others, the desire for others to lose it or for oneself to possess it, which violates God's wisdom and sovereignty in distributing gifts.

Just like in Genesis, Cain killed his brother Abel because he was jealous that Abel's sacrifice was more favored by "God".

Kakashi Hatake could not deny this point. He had woken up in the middle of the night more than once, regretting that he was not the one who died, and that his hands were stained with Rin's blood.

"Laziness" is apathy, indifference, and escapism at both the mental and physical levels; it is a kind of spiritual numbness and depression that goes against the purpose and responsibility given by God.

As it says in Romans, “Never be lazy in zeal, but keep your spirit fervent and serve the Lord.”

Jiraiya could not refute this point, because of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he spent his entire life searching for the elusive Child of Prophecy, escaping his responsibilities as a Konoha ninja.

"That is to say..."

Nara Shikaku's throat bobbed as he stared intently at the inscription on the sword case, his voice hoarse as he said, "The being who forged the seven swords known as the 'Seven Deadly Sins'..."

"Was his real aim to kill the 'god' and strip him of 'divine authority'?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha Jonin who overheard the conversation were all stunned.

These seven swords actually have this special meaning?

"No, there is another possibility."

A voice reached everyone's ears, causing them to instinctively turn their heads to look.

Hinata Kumokawa lowered his eyes slightly and said with a smile, as if joking, "Perhaps the master of the Seven Deadly Sins does not want to kill the gods."

"Or rather, comparing oneself to a god?"

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku and the others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly understood the meaning of his words.

He compared himself to a god.

So, was the purpose of forging the 'Seven Deadly Sins' to make the holder kill themselves?

Or is it that they are certain that those humans, even if they possess power, cannot kill them?

Chapter 203 Might Guy's 'Gluttony'

"This...this is unlikely..."

Nara Shikaku stared in disbelief, then subconsciously shook his head and said, "Is this kind of arrogant, even mocking attitude really something a 'god' would display?"

What kind of madman would create a weapon that could kill himself?

Everyone nodded subconsciously, and Hinata Kumokawa shrugged as well.

"I'm just suggesting a possibility."

He chuckled softly, "If it's really as I say, then the guy who forged the 'Seven Deadly Sins,' that 'god,' must have had a rather wicked personality, right?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shikaku Nara, and the other Konoha members fell silent, even though they didn't want to admit from the bottom of their hearts that the powerful being who forged the 'Seven Deadly Sins' had such a vile personality.

But they knew in their hearts that what Hinata Kumokawa said was very likely true.

Thinking of this, a chill and a sense of dread gradually seeped into their hearts, and Jiraiya and Kakashi inexplicably felt the swords behind them and at their waists become heavier.

Hinata Kumokawa didn't care about their thoughts. He was already certain that these seven swords, created freely from points, were created in accordance with his true inner thoughts.

In fact, what he and Nara Shikaku said was correct.

These seven swords were intended to kill the Otsutsuki god who called himself a "god," and also to ensure that becoming a powerful being comparable to a "god" wouldn't be too boring.

Every kind of 'sin' fundamentally questions, rejects, or challenges the divine authority of God as the Creator, Redeemer, Judge, Provider, and Giver of the meaning of life.

Therefore, the abilities of these seven swords are likely to replace the gods and wield seven powers that should belong to the gods.

"The remaining anger, lust, and arrogance..."

Hinata Kumokawa slightly raised his lowered eyes and looked at the three swords in the sword box.

He probably already knew the selection criteria for the remaining three swords.

"However, whether it's anger or lust, no one in Konoha is satisfied right now," Hyuga Kumokawa mused to himself. "Only arrogance..."

"Arrogance" means placing oneself above God or seeking an equal status with God, which violates God's supreme sovereignty and unique glory.

Like Lucifer, who was once an angel, and later fell to become Satan, the Book of Isaiah describes him thus:

"Lucifer, how you have fallen from heaven! How you have been cast down to the earth, you who have conquered the nations!"

Because “you said in your heart, I will ascend to the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit on the mountain of assembly, on the extremes of the north, I will ascend above the highest clouds, I will make myself like the Most High.”

Therefore, "you will fall into Sheol, to the deepest part of the pit."

"Arrogance" is the act of appropriating what rightfully belongs to God and replacing reverence for the divine with self-deification.

and so……

"That sword was prepared for me." Hyuga Kumokawa looked at the 'Arrogance' sword and thought to himself, "No, to be precise, it was prepared for 'Otsutsuki Kumoshiki'."

While Hinata Kumokawa was deep in thought, Might Guy gripped the 'Gluttony' sword tightly with both hands, his face beaming with excitement and curiosity.

This horse-slaying sword is the most bizarre and ferocious of the seven weapons.

The thick, white, sharp blade, like the fangs of a giant beast, gleamed with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

The tsuba (handguard) is not a traditional handguard, but a scarlet structure resembling a gaping maw. The jet-black hilt is unusually thick and long, and feels icy to the touch.

Overall, the knife looks like a beast made of teeth, bloody mouth, and black skin.

Might Guy swung the blade somewhat clumsily, the heavy blade creating a whistling sound, which made him fall into a deep thought.

"What's wrong, Kai?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask. "Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I was just wondering what this knife could be used for... Oh, right!"

Matt Kai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it into his palm, saying, "Although I don't know how to use a knife, this thing is very heavy, making it perfect for weight training!"

He turned to Kakashi Hatake with a face full of excitement, his expression saying "Praise me!"

"..."

Kakashi's deadpan eyes twitched involuntarily as he asked, "Gai, don't you know about its special abilities?"

"Ability?" Might Guy's excitement froze, and he scratched his head blankly, saying, "I don't know."

"Huh?" Kakashi's eyes widened instantly. "You gained its approval and pulled it out, but you didn't even know what abilities it had?!"
