MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 227 The Night of Konoha’s 51st Year (Part 2)

 “Fire… on fire!”

Ri Xiangye was startled and jumped up on the spot. He took off his clothes and slapped fiercely at the flames in the distance. Then he reacted, slapped himself awkwardly and put it back on.

Although he was only three and a half years old, Hinata was a child of a powerful clan in the ninja world. After calming down, he ran to the kitchen, wet a towel and covered his mouth and nose. He rushed out of the room according to his memory and ran along the road to the outside of the clan.

However, the moment the soles of his feet touched the bluestone pavement, Rixiang Ye fell to the ground with a thud.

"it hurts…"

He touched his buttocks, his little face wrinkled up, and through the blazing fire, Ri Xiangye quickly understood what had tripped him.

 It was a twisted severed finger.

His eyes widened in horror, he stood up and stepped back, only to trip over the rolling head again.

Ri Xiangye fell hard this time and lay on the bluestone for a long time, unable to get up. However, it was this period of time that allowed him to see everything around him clearly.

 Blood, all blood.

"Mother…"

If there were no accidents, the three and a half year old child would have been burned alive in the fire.

Ri Xiangye didn’t know anything. He just used his indomitable will to drive his legs.

With a click, the handsome young man opened the mechanism, revealing a deep underground chamber.

 Who was killed by everyone?

 “Can you find my mother? She...”

Hinata, which has been glorious for thousands of years, has been dyed with an unknown red. The ground is full of broken limbs. The traces of battle extend from the gate to the core of the clan, erasing all life.

"Finally found you..." He spoke softly, grabbed Ri Xiangye, and instantly broke through the flames, arriving in front of the big house where the clan meeting was held.

 Where is mom?

have no idea.

 Because, he met someone.

Behind a rockery in the clan area, the young man slowly walked out.

 Why did the clan become like this?

The three-and-a-half-year-old boy ran and stumbled in the burning clan land, and the flying sparks scorched his hair. But Ri Xiangye seemed not to feel the burning pain from the flames, and ran like crazy.

have no idea.

“Go in. Judging from your appearance, you must not be as tall as the scroll behind me.”

The boy is the kind of person who is unforgettable at first sight. He has long hair hanging down to his waist, a blood-red kimono, and a face as handsome as jade, which is deeper than the night and more beautiful than the moon.

 But Ri Xiangye survived after all.

"You are... Yuuto-sama! I have seen you in the painting!" The boy who was a little over three years old was very smart. He grabbed the boy's clothes and begged eagerly:

have no idea.

 Getting up day and night, fear, panic and worry were like ants eating at his soul.

“Hyuga Saki?” The caged bird stained with blood whispered:

"She said that her child had just celebrated his third birthday and must be shorter than this scroll, so she begged me to find you. I accepted the request. After she..." He paused, and the complicated emotions flashed away:

 “Before she was killed by me.”

Ri Xiangye felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and could hardly understand the boy's words.

 Kill? Who to kill?

Yuto-sama is the pride of the branch family, so is he killing the enemy? But the meaning behind his words is...

 “Go in.” The young man pushed him:

"There's a fire outside, it's very dangerous." Ri Xiangye entered the underground secret room in a daze. After regaining consciousness, he shouted anxiously:

“Yuuto-sama, can you help me find my mother?”

 He got no response.

 Just before the door of the secret room closed, the young man looked back at the boy.

Unlike the bright and blood-stained kimono, the expression of the caged bird was as pale as the transparent moonlight. However, under the determination to obliterate everything, some kind of indescribable sadness flowed in his eyes, like tears.

For many years to come, Ri Xiangye thought that the unforgettable sadness was an illusion he saw when he was young and experienced great changes.

boom.

 The door closed, and the last child from the Hyuga clan who met the "survival conditions" came in.

Ri Xiangye stared blankly at the thick and insulated door and walked down the steps.

　　The miserable cries echoed in the secret room. As they got closer, Ri Xiangye saw that there were all people of the same age as him. In addition to children, there were also women with swollen bellies.

 “Hyuga Yuuto is a traitor, he, he killed my father and husband!”

 “Wow, daddy…”

"The clan leader also died in his hands. He will go to **** one day... The Hokage will help our Hyuga clan take revenge!"

 “Mom, I want mom...”

"But can anyone really kill him? I heard that he killed the ANBU!"

 “Woo woo…”

Crying, cursing and sobbing filled this small room, and various sounds poured into Hinata Ye's ears. Even though they came from different people, these words all converged into the same meaning - Hyuga Yuuto rebelled against the village and massacred the clan. Killed everyone except here!

Ri Xiangye fell to the ground, his face pale, but he did not cry loudly like a child of the same age. He just clutched the ears of the stuffed bear tightly and bit his lips.

　　After a long time, maybe two hours, maybe four hours, the door to the secret room was opened again.

“It’s the same as what Hinata Yuuto said...these children and pregnant women are in the secret room. Bring them up and send them to the hospital first.”

 The Konoha ninjas went down one by one and picked up these Hyuga survivors.

Ri Xiangye stepped on the solid ground. At this time, the sky had brightened, and the sun shone on the earth, reflecting the huge ruins in golden color.

As far as the eye can see, there are collapsed and damaged buildings. The huge Hyuga clan land has become a thing of the past overnight.

Ri Xiangye suddenly went crazy, broke away from the nurse, ran to the depths of the ruins, and kept digging away at the rubble with his young hands.

 “Don’t do this, kid.”

Just when Ri Xiangye’s hands were scratched and dripping with blood, an old voice appeared behind him:

“Those who rebelled against the village took advantage of the flesh and blood of their own people... Although it is unkind to say this, the dead will never come back.”

The boy's body trembled, but he did not stop moving.

A gloomy look flashed across Sandai's eyes. He took a puff of his pipe and continued to comfort himself:

"Child, in the ninja world, there is a place called the Pure Land. People will enter there after death and continue to exist in a completely different way."

"It is said that the dust and sand of the Pure Land will be reflected in the sky of the Ninja World, forming stars that can only be seen at night. Yes, your family will be watching you from the sky."

“Wherever there are people, leaves will fly, and the shadow of fire will shine on everything. Yes, child, in fact, the dead will always be with you..."

Hinata stood up suddenly and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Somewhere in the ruins, the boy was lost in his thoughts. His whispers were mixed in the wind and disappeared in an instant, so short that only the world could hear.

 “But I still want to see you again, mother.”
