7 Chapter 7

Even though he felt that something was wrong, he didn't stop his actions and continued to charge the squad leaders, but unfortunately the rest of the leaders were already prepared and fired in different directions. At the same time, the leaders warned all their subordinates to set off on Ren.

In this kind of battle, there was no need for tactics or strategy. And that was something the squad leaders knew very well.

The opponent they were facing was too strong to be beaten with strategies alone, for this reason, they decided to just go with strength of numbers, thinking that this way they could defeat Ren by exhaustion.

"Beat me by exhaustion... It's a good plan, but I wonder if there are enough people to carry it out."

Ren's expression at this moment, was one of pure amusement, but inside he was talking to the system seriously.

"So, what's happening to me? I was just a student living a mundane life, so how could I be so relaxed in a situation like this?"

That was the question Ren had asked the system, and also the problem that had been popping into his head all along, ever since he started dealing with Hotarubi.

[Ding! Answering the host. The reason you don't have remorse when killing someone, or even manage to think calmly in all situations is due to the fact that the system has slightly altered your senses, so that you fit perfectly into the role of a villain].

Alter your senses? Isn't that the same as manipulating you? That's what Ren was thinking at the moment.

[The Host doesn't have to worry about the system manipulating him, that's because when I said that I altered his senses slightly, I meant only that I removed the restrictions that were imposed on his heart and mind. After all, all people have a dark side within themselves].

"So that's it?"

Ren still had some doubts, but he knew that he would not be able to get any more answers from the system. Moreover, he also knew that if he was sent into this world without the system by his side, he would probably already be dead.

His conversation with the system didn't affect his performance as he fought the horde of ninjas coming towards him.

The scene in front of him reminded him of when Madara fought an entire squadron of the shinobi alliance.

"Even if they are not the shinobi alliance, I will treat them as such."

With these thoughts, Ren pulled two kunai from his inventory as he positioned himself to fight a Village alone.

Soon, a series of ninjas launched themselves in his direction. Forcing him to retreat backwards to avoid being grabbed by the swarm.

Dodging the kunai thrown in his direction, Ren found himself surrounded again by more Hoshigakure ninjas, and knowing he could no longer run, he just chose to kill his way out of the palace.

He knew it would be very difficult, fighting so many ninjas in an enclosed place like this palace, so he chose to go outside, where he could cause even greater damage to the village, plus he could use all of Hoshigakure as his playground to cause chaos.

With those thoughts, he hurled a kunai in the direction of the third squad leader, and as he did so, he pierced the chest of an Anbu who had sneaked up behind his back.

"Trying to sneak up on me? Hmph!"

With a snort, Ren pulled back the hand that had pierced the Anbu's heart, and in the process a huge amount of blood dripped onto his face, making him look like a demon in a human's body.

All this took only a few seconds, for Ren knew that he could not stand still for long, otherwise he would be surrounded again by the swarm of ninjas.

With quick steps he easily managed to escape from the palace he was in, but the moment he did, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of ninjas waiting for him outside the palace.

A surprised expression appeared on his face, as it was the first time he had seen the full force of Hoshigakure.

"It seems that my knowledge about this village is really lacking... No... The information I knew was only what passed in the anime, so it's impossible to know the real strength of a Village."

Ren made a mental note, never to underestimate a village again.

"HAHAHAHA! You bastard! Did you think you could escape after killing the Hoshikage? Today you will meet your end."

A voice full of justice sounded causing Ren to turn his gaze only to see Hotarubi staring at him with a cold expression.

"Oh... I didn't expect you to escape my genjutsu..."

Ren said with a little surprised expression on his face.

Actually, he had already expected that Hotarubi would not be trapped in his genjutsu for long, after all he had not put much effort into the genjutsu when he launched it.

"You seem certain about my defeat, but..."

"I will show you the difference between an Uchiha and ordinary people."

Ren spoke these words slowly and as he said them he focused chakra into his eyes, which slowly began to spin and turn red.

Soon three tomoe could be seen in his eyes.

Sharingan!

That pair of eyes, was Ren's greatest asset currently, and also the reason why he did not fear any person in this village.

"Before my eyes, all your efforts are useless."

As Ren finished speaking those words, he disappeared and all that could be heard was the scream of ninjas being slaughtered at the same time as blood began to cover the floor of Hoshigakure.

Hotarubi's confident and righteous face slowly became filled with shock and fear. He never expected that Ren could easily fight so many ninjas at once.

Hotarubi when he heard the Hoshikage say that Ren had defeated all the Anbu in the village without breaking a sweat, he thought it was just the Hoshikage praising Ren's strength so that the upper echelon of the Village wouldn't treat Ren badly, but seeing the scene in front of him, he knew that the Hoshikage's words were not accurate.

Ren was much stronger than the Hoshikage imagined.

Such commotion, did not escape the ears of the commoners who went to see what was happening. But the moment they saw the scene of dozens of ninjas lying dead on the ground, the commoners began to cry out for help.

Their village had always been peaceful, and never attacked by others, so seeing dozens of ninjas from their own village dead made the commoners tremble with fear as they looked at the person responsible for these actions.

All the commoners saw, was a seven year old ninja killing all the ninjas in his Village as if he were harvesting cabbages.

Soon, the seven-year-old turned his head toward the commoners who had approached the battle. And when the commoners saw the red eyes of that boy, they could only say one word.

"Demon!"

That was the only word that escaped the commoners' mouths, before they were attacked by the boy with no chance to defend themselves.

[Ding! Further shaking the Protagonist's mental state. Hotarubi will lose 20 Fortune Value, while the Host will receive 80 Fate Points!]
