Chapter 351 The Four Heavenly Kings, Part 2: The Kind Evil God

The people of Konoha wanted to say, "This is a slander! This is pure slander! We in Konoha are strict with others but lenient with ourselves, and we yearn for peace the most. How could we do such a thing?"

But the more they deny it, the less people believe them; it's like making things worse the more they try to explain!

This led to a rapid decline in Konoha's reputation, especially after an unknown figure in the ninja world summarized the pattern by which the Hyuga Madman killed Jinchuriki, which completely confirmed the rumor.

In fact, there are not many tailed beasts left: Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was the first to be killed.

Matatabi, the Two-Tails, was the first tailed beast to die when it invaded Yugakure several years ago.

Next was the Three-Tails, who was manipulated and died at the hands of Kakashi Hatake of Konoha.

At that time, both Hyuga Kagami and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, were present. What were the specific details? Who exactly did it? That remains unknown.

However, it is said that Hyuga Kagami also defected at that time, and at the time of his defection, his strength had not reached the level of being able to directly kill a Jinchuriki like he does now.

Now, the four-tailed Sun Wukong and the five-tailed King Mu have been killed one after another.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki defected from Kirigakure with his disciples more than a year ago, and their whereabouts remain unknown.

Now, only the Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails remain in the open. Immediately, people are speculating: which tailed beast will be next to suffer?

Some speculate that the Six-Tails has probably already been dealt with in secret, so in that order, the Seven-Tails should be the next to die.

However, some people have raised doubts, saying that it is not correct and that the one that should have died was the Eight-Tails.

Since Hyuga Kagami was using the pretext of releasing the tailed beasts, and the Seven-Tails was already free and not imprisoned within a Jinchuriki, there was no need to kill it.

But months passed, and there was no further news of the tailed beasts dying. Most ninjas in the ninja world believed that the culprit had no more courage to make a move.

At this moment, Hinata Kagami was in a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

An elderly man with a kind face but suffering from a serious illness led a bewildered boy with severe paranoia out of the wooden house.

The old man coughed up blood as he brought the child to Hyuga Kagami: "Cough cough, what's meant to happen will happen. Actually... I agree with your point of view, the tailed beasts should return to nature. But before I die, I have one more request, could you... take this child away? He is innocent."

"What's his name?"

"Foam." After saying that, the old man gently pushed the boy forward. A corrosive substance began to seep from the surface of his body, turning into a viscous liquid that slowly dissipated.

Bubble snapped out of her daze, her pupils contracted sharply, and she finally uttered her first cry: "Master..."

He had just reached out his hand when Hyuga Kagami grabbed his shoulder: "I'm rarely being a good person. Come with me."

The foam looked fearful and struggled instinctively.

Ignoring the boy's resistance, Hyuga Kagami picked him up and leaped into the sky.

Moreover, the boy is already over ten years old and can no longer be considered a child.

In the Dragonfly Sanctuary of the Land of Waterfalls, Uzumaki Shirai's eyes widened when she saw Hyuga Kagami returning with a child.

"No, where did you abduct this child from?"

Could it be that he was infected by Orochimaru? Or was this the original talent of a ninja who defected from Konoha?

After all, from the older generation of ninja Danzo to Orochimaru, Hyuga Kagami all liked to abduct children. Even their lord undeniably had a penchant for picking up children, since she was the one who picked them up.

"The disciple of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki entrusted his child to me. I found it quite interesting, so I brought him back. He can keep Hidan company." Hyuga Kagami said with a smile, speaking casually.

Whirlpool Purple Fly looked him up and down, a bitter smile on her face: "You forced his master to his death right in front of him. Are you sure he won't take revenge on you when he grows up? You even had someone bring him back. If you ask me, I think we should kill him before the relationship gets too deep."

"No way!" Hyuga Kagami looked at the timid-looking foam, then chuckled, "His master was already dying; this is helping him escape the fate of becoming a Jinchūriki. Maybe he'll even thank me in the future?"

"Forget about you." Uzumaki Shirafuji's tone shifted. "Speaking of which, this is your first time returning to the Dragon Kingdom and coming to my place. Surely you're not really preparing to kill the Seven-Tails in order, as everyone's saying, are you?"

As if sensing something, the Seven-Tails' voice immediately came from underground upon hearing these words.

"What? Someone wants to kill me! Let him come, I want to see what he's made of."

"The newcomer wants to challenge the old guard? I've been with the lord for over ten years, and you've only been here a few days!"

Sensing that overwhelming aura, Hyuga Kagami was both amused and exasperated. How could he possibly attack his own people?

However, the energy fluctuations of the Seven-Tails seem to be something other than chakra, and this power is too vast and too condensed, seemingly having transcended the realm of tailed beasts.

Just then, a white-haired child ran in carrying a three-star scythe twice his height.

Seeing the quiet bubbles in the room, he reached out and poked his cheek with his finger.

"So you're the little brat that Hyuga Kagami brought back from outside? You're quite cute."

Foam's body trembled slightly as his paranoia triggered. He was holding a scythe; could it be that he wanted to harm me in order to win favor?

So they got close to me just to gain my trust. As expected, the dark organization is terrifying, more terrifying than the ninja world or the ninja villages.

"Little brother, I won't steal your favor. I'm just a captured slave. They don't like me, and they even want to kill me."

Yes, he was too weak and couldn't escape the den of demons, but he still wanted to live, so showing weakness might not be a bad idea.

Hidan thought the new guy was a bit strange, but hehe, he was quite interesting!

At this point, evil began to gain the upper hand. It felt that it could play a trick on him, and after it got tired of playing with him, it might even be offered to the evil god!

But somehow, as soon as an evil thought emerges, a righteous thought will suddenly appear, suppressing the evil side of my heart.

He shook his head, his body involuntarily reaching out to touch Foam's face. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, as long as you... behave!"

Foam trembled slightly, her eyes revealing undisguised distrust, fear, and a desire to retaliate.

Yes, this is the evil side, and everyone is trying to harm him, so there's nothing wrong with him picking up a weapon to protect himself and fighting back.

Before he could even come up with a plan, Hidan easily dragged him out the door.

He was easily lifted up by a child younger than himself, as if he were a toy being casually squeezed.

"The underground palace is too oppressive. From now on, you can live with me at my house. My mom loves children."
