End of War III

Just as the kitchen knife was about to stab the little girl in the head, the knife exploded and turned into butterflies flying in the air. Afterwards, the woman continued talking while laughing.

"It's just a magic trick, what I threw is an illusion blade made with chakra"

The woman's taste for the joke was a bit harsh, but I thought it was better than being a psychopath who killed his own daughter.

The woman then turned around and continued cooking rice pilaf.

------------- About 10 years ago

There was a giant two-storey mansion in a remote corner of the Sound Country. When a young girl ran through the door of this mansion, she had a pure smile on her face and a large amount of sweat on her clothes.

Although the mansion looked like a large building from the outside, when the young girl entered the front door, what greeted the girl was a huge garden, larger than the area covered by the villa. Without being surprised at what she saw, the girl quickly ran to the middle of the garden and created a few hand seals.

When the girl finished creating the hand seals, stairs rising into nothingness appeared before her. After the girl climbed the stairs for a short time, the garden seen around her disappeared and was replaced by the corridors of a large villa.

The girl quickly ran across the wooden floor and dived into one of the last doors of the corridor. Inside, three people were sitting far away from each other.

The girl looked at these three people and saw that apart from an old man, there was a middle-aged man and a woman sitting on the ground. Without hesitation, the girl threw herself into the old man's arms.

"Oh oh, slow down hana, I'm an old man"

The girl ignored the old man's whining and started talking excitedly.

"Grandpa, I learned a new trick during today's training. I will be the strongest ninja in the future."

"Ohoho my little angel learned a new trick, why don't you share this trick with us?"

Even though the young girl was almost 16-17 years old, she did not stop acting like a little girl in front of her grandfather.

While Hana was lying on the lap of her grandfather, who was almost the same height as her, she looked out of the corner of her eye at her uncle and aunt sitting in the corners of the room.

The old man immediately understood the situation and laughed wisely.

"It seems little hana is hesitant to use her abilities in public, why don't you wait for us outside the door for now?"

The middle-aged couple was glaring as they walked out the door because everyone in the room knew that Hana wasn't shy to show them her talents. However, the couple could not resist the old man and left the room.

Hana's family went on a dangerous mission a long time ago and lost their lives. Because of this, Hana was raised and pampered by her grandfather, who was the head of the Mugen clan for a long time.

"Hana, come on, tell me the name of the technique you just learned."

"This technique does not have a name"

When the old man heard the girl's words, the smile in his eyes turned into suspicion.

"Well, can you show me?"

" Yes "

Hana raised her hand and formed a blue butterfly on her palm

The old man's eyes widened when he saw that Hana did not use any hand seals when creating an illusion.

When Hana saw the old man's reaction, she wondered why the old man was not as happy as usual.

The old man started speaking before Hana opened her mouth and asked:

"Hana, don't tell anyone that you can create illusions without doing hand seals, okay?"

"But why, is this a dangerous thing?"

" HANA! "

When Hana saw that her grandfather was angry, she accepted his grandfather's request and left the room before she could resist any longer.

When the old man saw the young girl leaving the room, he showed a frightened expression and stood up, making several hand seals.

When the old man finished his hand seals, a small bookcase appeared in the corner of the room. The old man moved quickly and found a dusty parchment on the back shelves of the bookcase.

The old man began to read the writings on the parchment in a voice that only he could hear.

"I am the 6th Patriarch of the Mugen clan, and I leave this note as a warning to the next generations. If anyone in our clan manages to awaken the bloodline, kill him without hesitation. Our clan was cursed by a powerful sorcerer. If you do not kill the person who awakened the bloodline, terrible disasters will befall our clan." "

When the Mugen clan first emerged, it was almost the most feared clan in the world, thanks to the people who awakened the bloodline, because people who awakened the bloodline could cover an area with an illusion and cause people who entered that area to be exposed to an endless series of illusions.

When the old man looked at the bottom of the note, he found a part in which the patriarchs before him wrote the names of the people they killed and awakened the blood line in their own time. From the time of the 9th Patriarch until the time of the 28th Patriarch, the time of the old man, no name was added to this list during the reign of any patriarch.

When the old man thought of the little girl he had raised since she was a baby, he felt a pain in his heart. Even though the Mugen clan used to be a big clan, now it was a small family consisting of about 15-20 people.

With a difficult decision, the old man decided to hide his little daughter's talent from everyone and ignore this incident.

About a month after this incident, when Hana returned home after training in the forest as usual, she saw that the illusion surrounding the clan had been broken and her house, which covered a large area of land, had been burned.

Hana ran into the house, but everywhere she looked, all she found was burnt corpses. While Hana was running to her grandfather's room in fear, a wall of fire appeared in front of her and she reflexively created a water illusion and extinguished the fire and quickly ran to her grandfather's room.

When Hana entered, she saw a body split in two on the ground and she knelt down and started crying. After hours passed like this, he took his grandfather's body out to bury it.

While Hana was burying her grandfather, she found a note in his grandfather's clothes.

"Hana, if you are reading this note, I am probably dead. Don't worry too much about me, you are a young woman now. All I want from you is to live a quiet life where you can be happy in the future."

After clearing out what was left of her family, Hana married a man in a small village and started a life of her own.
