"This new game is called Werewolf Game. The characters include Werewolf, Villager, Witch, Hunter, and Seer. We have ten people here, so one game will have three Villagers, three Werewolves, one Witch, one Hunter, and one Seer. Each person will play one role."
"Then what about the tenth person? That makes only nine people, right?" Uchiha Ryūka couldn't help but ask, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"The tenth person will be the Referee. And Ryūka, don't interrupt my explanation."
"I will prepare nine cards representing each role. When the game starts, everyone will draw one card to determine their role..."
As Uchiha Tōshirō explained in great detail, the group of kids gathered around him, nodding and shaking their heads at times, and occasionally looking as if they had just had a revelation.
"Does everyone understand the rules of the game?"
"Tōshirō, stop asking and let's just start a game." Uchiha Ryūka, unable to contain his eagerness, spoke up.
After listening to Uchiha Tōshirō's lengthy explanation, everyone felt a bit dizzy and overwhelmed. In Ryūka's view, game rules were a hassle! It was better to just try it out first.
Uchiha Honō, Uchiha Asahina, and others also nodded in agreement with Ryūka's suggestion. A few of the more precocious kids even thought the game would be quite fun.
"Alright, let's play a trial game. Listen carefully: the player who draws an A is a Werewolf, the one who draws a K is the Seer, the one who draws a Q is the Witch, the one who draws a J is the Hunter, and the one who draws a 10 is a Villager. Everyone understand?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Tōshirō gathered the kids into a circle. He selected nine cards from a deck to represent the roles and distributed them to everyone. Once everyone had confirmed their roles, the game began.
"Everyone remember your role and follow my instructions. Now, it's nighttime. Everyone, close your eyes."
"Kazuo, you idiot, close your eyes!" One of the more dim-witted kids looked at Uchiha Tōshirō in confusion, as if just realizing what he needed to do, and hurriedly closed his eyes.
"Alright! Werewolves, open your eyes. Identify your companions and decide who to kill tonight." Under Uchiha Tōshirō's guidance, the group of Uchiha kids began to play this game that had once been popular in his previous life.
"Kazuo, don't reveal that you're a Werewolf! You're out!"
"What should I say? State your position, analyze who is good and who is bad."
"The Witch's poison can only be used once per game!"
"The Werewolf can self-destruct, and after self-destructing, it can skip the day and go directly to night."
Uchiha Tōshirō pointed out their mistakes, repeated the rules, and guided them on how to speak and analyze the situation.
After three games, the kids gradually started to get the hang of playing Werewolf Game.
From their initial straightforward statements like "I'm a Werewolf," "What should I say?" and "Asahina is a Werewolf," they began to get into the spirit of the game. Although their statements were still quite naive, Uchiha Tōshirō believed that with time, everyone would become more skilled.
"Amazing, truly amazing! Tōshirō, how did you come up with such a fun game?" Uchiha Ryūka, his face flushed with excitement, praised Uchiha Tōshirō. The other kids nodded in agreement, eagerly giving him a thumbs up.
"Haha, it's not that great." Uchiha Tōshirō laughed and deflected the praise, but he was also quite impressed. When he first introduced the game, he wondered if four-year-olds could handle it. After a few trials, he had to admit that the kids in the ninja world were quite precocious. After just a few rounds, they played with a sense of purpose.
"How could I possibly be a Werewolf? Don't believe what Taro says; he's the real Werewolf. Don't be fooled..." Uchiha Honoka looked at everyone in despair, until Kazuo cast the final vote, forcing her out of the game.
"Alright, it's nighttime. Werewolves, open your eyes. Choose who to kill..."
Uchiha Tōshirō, as the Referee, calmly continued the game, ignoring the eliminated Uchiha Honoka.
As they became more familiar with the rules and gameplay, the enthusiasm of the kids who were playing Werewolf Game for the first time grew even more.
"Flame, you're so cunning!"
"Kazuo, you idiot, I'm a good person!"
"Asahina, you're the Werewolf!"
In nature, females often seem to be more cunning than males, and the same was true in the game. Watching Flame, Asahina, and Ayumi win game after game, Uchiha Tōshirō couldn't help but marvel.
As they shouted and called out, the shadows of the trees slowly moved eastward, and the shadows under their feet grew longer. Time was quietly slipping away...
More and more kids of similar age gathered around them, watching the game with curious and inquisitive eyes.
Occasionally, a parent would come by to see what the kids were up to.
Happy times are always short. As the sun set, the evening glow illuminated the group of kids who were completely absorbed in the new game.
"Ryūka, it's time to go home! Dinner is ready..."
"Mom! Just a little longer, ten more minutes, the game will be over in ten minutes!"
"Ah! Let go! Let go! My ear is about to fall off!!" The young mother, being a bit impatient, didn't wait for her son to finish the game. She grabbed his ear and dragged him home.
Knowing his mother's temper, Uchiha Ryūka didn't struggle much. He didn't care about his ear, which was turning red.
He quickly handed the card representing his role to a kid who had been watching for a while and followed his mother home, looking dejected, with a sense of "The wind is bleak and the water of Yi River is cold; the brave warrior sets forth and will never return."
The kid who received the card didn't disappoint. He excitedly joined the game, fully immersing himself in the role...
In less than twenty minutes, more and more parents came to take their reluctant children home. One by one, the kids handed their cards to their friends and reluctantly followed their parents.
When the last Villager was killed, the game came to an end. Uchiha Tōshirō clapped his hands and said, "Alright, it's getting late. That's it for today. I hope everyone has a good understanding of the rules. See you tomorrow!"
