Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 87 What kind of person is Yu Yi Xuan Yue?

"Dr. Sōsuke!!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ino quickly turned around, her eyes lighting up as she greeted "Sousuke" with great surprise.

Although Sakura wasn't as excited as Ino, she still greeted Dr. Sosuke, who had taught her, with great affection.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. But hearing you talking about Yu Yi Xuan Yue has made me very interested in learning more about her."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue explained with a "sincere" expression.

He was curious about outsiders, not those high-ranking figures who thought everyone was like them, but the genuine opinions of ordinary people about him.

Upon hearing this, although she didn't understand why Dr. Sosuke was so interested in Hagoromo Gengetsu, Sakura still insisted on her own opinion without hesitation:

"Hagoromo Gengetsu must be a villain just like Orochimaru. Otherwise, why would the Hokage and everyone else be so wary of him?"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Ino immediately stopped paying attention to the handsome guy and quickly retorted, "Being wary of someone is because of their strength, but that doesn't mean Hagoromo Gengetsu is a big bad guy. You have to look at a person's actions throughout their life to judge them."

"Forced to hand over the secret technique? Kidnapping Sasuke?" Sakura suddenly asked.

Ino's expression froze for a moment, then she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "These are different things, and besides, the minority cannot represent the whole."

Before Sakura could continue to refute, Ino put on an expression as if the mystery was about to be revealed and said, "You definitely won't believe it! Because of Hagoromo Gengetsu's appearance in the ninja world, I specially went to the clan's library and found a book that our ancestor recorded about Hagoromo Gengetsu's life."

"Ahem, as you all know, the Yamanaka clan has existed since the Warring States period. As experts in intelligence, they have learned a lot about the secrets of the ninja world."

"Everyone knows the fame of the mountain clan," Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded.

Although not as powerful as the top ninja clans of the Warring States period, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, with the Sarutobi clan as their ally, still wielded considerable influence in the ninja world at the time.

Sakura, who comes from an ordinary family, can only feel envious.

"So," Ino snapped her fingers coolly, revealing the truth, "in the records of our ancestors, the real Yu Yi Gengetsu is completely different from what we, the descendants, imagine."

"Sakura, do you still remember those knight novels and comics we read when we were little?"

Don't doubt that there are no knights in the Naruto world. You should know that this is a world where black people rap and can speak English fluently.

Upon hearing this, Sakura glanced at "Sosuke" sheepishly and quickly waved her hand, saying, "We're ninjas now, why bring up childhood memories?"

The thought of how she used to cling to those novels and comics as a child, fantasizing all day long about the handsome male protagonist riding a white horse to her, kneeling down to express his love, and how she had many embarrassing and shameful arguments with Ino over who would get the male protagonist, made Sakura feel like she was about to be executed.

However, Ino's next words instantly overwhelmed her shyness with shock.

"In fact, the actions of Yu Yi Gengetsu during the Warring States period were very similar to those of knights and heroes in novels."

"What???"

Sakura immediately forgot about her embarrassing childhood incidents and, upon hearing this, exclaimed in disbelief, "Hagoromo Gengetsu? A knight? A hero?"

She couldn't make that connection at all.

That day, Yu Yi Gengetsu walked towards us, and even a wisp of her aura made us tremble with fear; Yu Yi Gengetsu was greatly feared by Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, and the Hokage; Yu Yi Gengetsu had meticulously planned to live a second life, making the entire ninja world tremble, and we were constantly worried about what she might do.

Could it be the knight and hero that Ino mentioned?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Then, he and Sakura listened to Ino's detailed explanation.

"In the year 132 of the Fire Country calendar, in the village of Floating Wanderer, a ninja acted arrogantly and domineeringly, killing twenty-three villagers, taking fourteen women as his concubines, and torturing ten of them to death. Everyone was enraged, and no one dared to resist. Hagoromo Gengetsu encountered him on the road and killed him in anger."

Long-lost memories resurfaced before Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes as Ino recounted them.

I remember that year I was fourteen years old. Full of vigor, I left the land of the Feathered Robe Clan to travel in the Ninja World. On the way, I passed through a village called Floating Wanderer.

There were many villagers, but the atmosphere in the village was very oppressive, even though a wedding was taking place at the time.

Upon learning that this was the village's only ninja who was marrying a bride, and that ten young girls had already died at his hands, Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't hesitate and rushed in to kill the ninja, whose strength was quite ordinary.

The matter was very simple, just a small favor for me, but it was unforgettable for the villagers. It even spread to the outside world, and somehow it was learned by a tribe in the mountains who recorded it.

"In the 133rd year of the Fire Country calendar, in Hakura Town, a Shikotsumyaku ninja from the Kaguya clan went out of control and slaughtered all 3,125 people in the town. Hagoromo Gengetsu encountered him on the way, fought fiercely for half a day, and severely wounded him before killing him."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue remembered that it was a Kaguya ninja who was corrupted by killing intent and whose Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) was developed to an extremely high degree.

The crazier this group of people are, the more difficult they are to mess with.

Compared to now, back then I was still very naive and it took me a long time, and I even almost lost my life, to kill it.

Is it unwise to provoke such a formidable enemy?

So many people died. There was even a little girl who was crying uncontrollably as she walked towards him, reaching out her little hand, but she collapsed halfway there, unable to stand up again.

How could I possibly tolerate such a situation?

"In the 135th year of the Fire Country calendar, there was a great famine. The lord of Ishikawa Castle refused to open the granaries to distribute food, and people outside the castle resorted to cannibalism, making it a scene of hell. Hagoromo Gengetsu was enraged and killed the lord, opened the granaries to distribute food, and saved countless lives."

That year, Yu Yi Xuan Yue clearly understood what those six words in the history books, "There was a great famine, and people ate each other," truly meant.

What angered him even more was that the singing and dancing continued in the house of the lord of Ishikawa Castle, and large amounts of leftover food were thrown to stray dogs under the "kindness" of his master.

Without wasting words, Yu Yi Xuan Yue also cast the "kind-hearted" city lord for the wild dog, and then things proceeded as recorded in the book.

Of course, this also angered the high and mighty men.

"In the 136th year of the Fire Country calendar, three ninjas who used human organs to practice evil arts were killed."

"In the 137th year of the Fire Country calendar, twelve nobles were killed in a competition to kill humans, using them as prey."

"Year 138 of the Fire Country Calendar."

Listen to Ino recount Hagoromo Gengetsu's life story, one by one.

Sakura's expression went from disbelief to shock, and then to silence, her expression quite complex.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue herself remained silent for a long time.
