Chapter 1009: Popularity



"Ah...ah, nothing special has happened recently. It's so boring."

"We can't win. We tried our best, but this is the best we can do. Why are there so many monsters this year? We were able to advance in previous years. Why did it have to be us?"

"Have you heard that those stray ninjas that the village chief picked up died in battle? It's a pity, but it's good that we can save a few of our compatriots from dying... What's that expression on your face? Wouldn't it be better to have more scapegoats like this? What, your relatives also died? That's really... It would be great if we also had bloodline limits, so we wouldn't have to live this precarious life."

"The department director election is next week, I don't care, it has nothing to do with me anyway, and it won't change anything!"

"I don't have the courage or the outgoing personality to get along with others. In the end, I can only stand here hesitating and be ostracized by everyone?"

"What the hell is this... This is totally impossible. If I fall behind here, how can I catch up with the average level of the group in the rest of my life! 」

"Oh no... I'm already this old now. Even if I work harder, I won't be able to catch up with those energetic young people..."

"Why is it so painful?"

"Can we just stay where we are?"

"Can I, like this..."

"What happened that was eye-opening?"

"No matter how unrealistic it is, as long as it makes people feel hopeful about the future, it's fine..."

Well then, if this is your sincere wish, let me realize that terror and meet your expectations.

But... once you start, there's no turning back!

"I" woke up from the deep darkness, transcended endless filthy desires, and finally felt the warmth of the world.

Behind me, countless diligent prayers allow "I" to continuously expand the boundaries of my own existence, until I come into contact with a world where dreams and illusions are intertwined, and between reality and falsehood.

Mizuki watched in amazement as Hope transplanted a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan into his eye sockets. In an instant, the radiance of faith in his surroundings gathered towards Hope like moths to a flame.

This is the largest-scale harvest of the ninja world second only to the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Advent of the God Tree World.

The scarlet Sharingan was dyed golden red, and the body was wrapped in a layer of purple strange energy. Hope slowly rose into the sky, and beautiful patterns appeared on its body, forming a cross rune on its chest. Two patterns like butterfly wings on its back started from the shoulders and wrapped most of its back and upper arms.

It is completely different from the Six Paths Mode appearance of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the brothers Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Its image is more similar to the religious totem that Mizuki saw in his previous life.

"The six paths model given by the world's will and the spiritual aggregate driven by humanity are indeed not the same thing. Although their sources are intertwined, is the essence the difference between the way of heaven and the way of man?"

Shuimu chuckled. He still had time to think about random things at this time. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. After the power of faith was fully bestowed on Xishuixiang, it turned out to be such a result.

"What should I call you now... Evil God?"

"How can you name yourself something so vulgar? I'd better call you Hope, or Xila..."

"The Angel of Despair? How shameless!"

"I am the embodiment of all the negative wills of mankind, the bearer of the hope and resentment accumulated by the ninja world for countless years... and I have many other powers. These are what you prepared for me. If I am not careful, the world will really change, okay?"

"You think you've succeeded?"

"I am on the side of the undefeated. From the moment I woke up, the result is irreversible!"

Mizuki was silent. The power of the ninja world itself was definitely not enough to completely eliminate the negative will of mankind. The so-called evil thoughts of mankind - the temporary regulator of the nine tailed beasts was really too childish.

The Six Paths Sage merely patched up the existing foundation of the Ninja World and built a stable order, allowing the Ninja World to survive and wait for the opportunity.

The combination of the awakening of the evil god and the sleeping town, mixed with some of the power of the god of death and the essence of Mizuki's years of research, left the entire ninja world with little recourse.

"You are really cunning to rise up when the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki has resurrected."

"I'll take it as a compliment."

Mundane evaluations cannot affect the existence of hope at all.

"You stole my things, how shameless! In that case, I won't be polite!"

The Ten-Tails has not been sealed yet. If Mizuki and the evil god have another fierce conflict at this time, the world might really be destroyed.

The Samsara Eye's chakra mode activated, and a dark green energy shield appeared, allowing Mizuki to float in the air without using his flying ability.

The same weapon can have very different effects in the hands of different people.

In Yukimura's hands, the Rinnegan is just a means of venting his emotions, and is far inferior to the Rinnegan's ultimate power.

But Mizuki is different. Whether it is the Sage Mode, physical fitness and chakra accumulation, or even combat experience, Yukimura is completely incomparable.

"You're welcome... What can you do? The outcome is already determined. You can't change it."

"How do you know if you don't try? You want to say that you are immortal, so you have nothing to fear?"

Hope smiled and shook her head.

"Not only that, as a mortal, you cannot experience what I see at this level. Have you ever thought about why Kaguya Ōtsutsuki cannot be killed but can only be sealed? If the Sage of Six Paths did not volunteer to sacrifice for the Ninja World, he would not have died before the Ninja World was destroyed. The same is true for me. You can think of me as an existence similar to the 'evil of this world'. As long as I appear in this world, the mark I leave behind cannot be erased. Even if I die for a while, I will be resurrected one day, unless the entire human race is completely extinct and the so-called 'hope' no longer exists."

"What do you mean?"

Shuimu's eyes narrowed.

"The difficulty of killing me completely is the same as you changing the rules and making the ninja world without gravity. This is even more difficult than the Six Paths Sage separating Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to restrict the high-end forces of the ninja world. After all, the Six Paths Sage did not create something out of nothing, he just hid some things and made it difficult for people to find them."

“Really?”

Shuimu nodded as if he understood something.

"I understand the general situation now. It seems that something extraordinary has really appeared!"

The ninja world is so small that the amount of "God's Laws" it can accommodate is limited.

The ninja world is like a room with limited space. Creating a god is like making a chair and then scrambling to sit down on it, a first-come, first-served game.

The Uzumaki family wanted to control the "Death God" chair, but they did not succeed completely, and part of the chair was taken away by Mizuki.

The "evil god's" chair had been made long ago, but the requirements were too high and no one was qualified to sit on it until they met Mizuki's physical clone - Hope.

"The humans of this world need a 'god' to pin their hopes on, so I was born. Uzumaki Naruto was originally a good choice, but unfortunately, he is just a mortal after all, and will die sooner or later. He is just a temporary expedient. He carries too many missions, and someone as pure as me is what everyone expects."
