Not far away, the arrogant brat with red eyes threw the firewood in his hands to the ground with a slap.
He rushed forward in a few leaps, grabbing Uchiha Shi by the collar.
Fugaku, with tears at the corners of his eyes and a defeated dog look, had a raging fire in his eyes!
He grabbed Uchiha Shi's collar and roared angrily, "Do you know what you've done?!"
"Didn't we agree to join the Evil God Sect together?"
"Didn't we agree to have a bright future?"
"Why, why did you trample my dreams, crush my will, and make it worthless!"
Fugaku's voice broke, tinged with sobs:
"Why! Why!"
"Tell me, why is this happening?!"
"I thought we were friends!"
The cold spring breeze blew, and the moonlight shone through the mist.
The bonfire crackled and popped.
Fugaku lowered his head, looking like someone who had just failed their first job interview and was now a NEET at home, summarizing the reasons for his failure and discovering that the cause was a friend he met on BingXixi (a fictional platform) who suddenly turned on the seller of the rope and killed him.
For Fugaku, who was deeply disappointed by Hot Water Village's inaction and longed to join the Evil God Sect to restore the glory of the Land of Hot Springs, this was like being struck by five lightning bolts.
Uchiha Shi took a deep breath and gently patted the hand that was holding his collar.
Including this time, this was the second time Fugaku had saved him.
And he could understand Fugaku's feelings, which were similar to his own when he tried to self-detonate to kill the Three Ninja of the Hidden Cloud but was forced to the ground by a mysterious scroll, ending up with nothing.
The same sense of unattainability, the same deep despair, at that time, Uchiha Shi even wanted to kill himself.
Imagine you're dressed in a suit, having prepared for half a year, and you're confidently going to start a high-paying job, but the company is raided for prostitution, and you return home in disappointment, only to have your mother hand you a toilet plunger and tell you to clean the bathroom.
When you enter the bathroom, you find it has expanded fifty times, resembling a football field, and is filled with OliGei (a fictional item or concept).
The disparity between ideals and reality is utterly despairing.
The current Land of Hot Springs is like this football field filled with OliGei.
And now, Fugaku, who has no Bloodline Limit, no powerful jutsu, no money, and no power, doesn't even have a toilet plunger.
Uchiha Shi looked straight at Fugaku, took a deep breath, and asked heavily, "Fugaku, do you really want to join the Evil God Sect?"
"Your dreams, your will,"
"is it to become the next 'Demigod' and restore the Land of Hot Springs, or do you really want to worship that ridiculous evil god?"
Fugaku, hearing this, seemed to have been hit on the head, and immediately shouted in anger:
"What do you know?!"
"Or rather, Uchiha Shi, what do you, a ninja from a great nation, a great village, and a great clan, know?!"
"The Land of Hot Springs, caught between great nations, has nothing!"
"No sovereignty, no hope, no power!"
"So, so we can only rely on the evil god!"
"Pray for His arrival, to cleanse everything!"
"Only then can we save the hopeless hot springs!"
Uchiha Shi's gaze became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "So, what you want is just a future where the Land of Hot Springs is saved! Just the power to save the Land of Hot Springs!"
"This, is the 'evil god' you need!"
"Am I right?"
Fugaku was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sneered:
"Are you going to lecture me like my Jōnin teacher?"
His eyes instantly turned cold, and he sneered mockingly, "Uchiha Shi, you talk so well!"
"Only a ninja from a great nation, a great village, and a great clan can say such beautiful words!"
"A bright future, great power, such inspiring words!"
"But, who will give it to me?"
"If I don't beg and plead like a dog, who will give such a powerless, helpless, and worthless me the power?"
Uchiha Shi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly reached out, pinched the brat's nose with two fingers, and gave him a shoulder throw.
Fugaku, completely unprepared for Uchiha Shi's sudden attack, was thrown to the ground with a thud.
Lying on his back, he looked up at Uchiha Shi.
Uchiha Shi's eyes closed and then opened, and the crimson Sharingan suddenly lit up.
He leaned down, stepped on the soft grass, and stood over Fugaku, staring at him with those eyes.
Then, Uchiha Shi's gaze was resolute, his tone decisive, and he declared in a deep voice:
"I'll give it to you!"
"You want power? I can be your power!"
"You want a future? I'll create that future with my own hands!"
"Since you feel desperate, helpless, and cry out in pain, feeling that you can't do anything, can't achieve anything, can't accomplish anything!"
"Then, stand behind me!"
"Stay behind me, and watch as I take away your will and fulfill your dreams!"
Uchiha Shi raised his sword finger and struck Fugaku's forehead hard, and with the most determined tone, he shouted:
"I'll be your evil god!"
Uchiha Shi's words were like a thunderclap, resonating in Fugaku's ears!
Fugaku's entire demeanor froze, as if this speech had torn open his wounds and broken through his defenses, and then, unconsciously, a clear tear slid down his jaw and fell onto the damp ground.
In the Land of Hot Springs, no one, had ever acknowledged his will and dreams with such firmness, like Uchiha Shi!
Everyone would only tell Fugaku:
"Run, we can't fight, it's not our problem, be a dog to the evil god."
But this man, he denied everything!
And he even arrogantly wanted to take away Fugaku's dreams from him, who had always been arrogant and self-important!
Uchiha Shi, he was a madman, arrogantly out of control!
Fugaku opened his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of tears, and stared blankly at Uchiha Shi.
He looked at the slowly rotating black tomoe in Uchiha Shi's crimson eyes.
That tomoe seemed to be formed by the strongest will in the world!
Under those captivating eyes, he suddenly felt his throat dry and his scalp tingle, all the denials he could think of became pale and powerless.
Finally, he could only ask in a self-destructive manner:
"Why?"
"You're just a Genin, just an Uchiha with a single tomoe Sharingan, just a cannon fodder in the Third Great Shinobi War that spans the entire world!"
"Why, why do you dare to say such things?!"
Uchiha Shi frowned, glanced at the line on his panel with some guilt, [Employee: Uchiha Shi.]
[Insurance status: Paid.]
Then he coughed twice, and said with a righteous tone—
Please follow, recommend, and read.
This is really important for me, who has no chapter recommendations, no money, and only a toilet plunger.
