Chapter 42: The Descendants of Hagoromo

Crimson blood splattered as the blade was drawn out.

"You..."

The ninja wearing the Cloud Village forehead protector turned in disbelief to look at the person behind them. Without being able to say anything further, they collapsed to the ground with a mixture of shock, despair, and worry.

This was just the beginning.

The sound of the blade swinging echoed swiftly.

After a few muffled grunts, everything quickly returned to silence.

Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had been prepared to take action himself, was surprised to see someone step in first. He stood still, his gaze filled with deep meaning as he looked at the only remaining person on the scene.

Step. Step. Step.

The person, sheathing her blood-stained short sword, walked towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Stopping just two meters away, she knelt down without hesitation. Her cold, beautiful face lowered as she spoke in a rare tone of excitement and admiration, "Hagoromo Han, greets the clan leader!"

"Hagoromo... Clan leader..."

"Such a long-forgotten title."

A glimmer of recollection flashed in Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes.

He looked down at the tall, voluptuous blonde woman with particularly fair skin, not immediately convinced. He calmly said, "Proof."

The blonde woman did not hesitate. She pulled down her light gray mesh armor.

A very eye-catching patch of white was exposed to the air.

Accompanied by the special circulation of chakra within the woman, a red mark quickly appeared on what had been her smooth, white skin.

Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes lit up.

Indeed, the woman before him was a descendant of the Hagoromo clan.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

In the past, after becoming the clan leader of the Hagoromo clan, he had designed this secret technique, which could only reveal the identity mark through special chakra circulation, to ensure the safety of information agents scattered outside.

Apart from a small team of Cloud ninjas who had met their end here, there were no other outside forces in the Valley of the Fallen God.

In front of the statue of "Hagoromo Gengetsu," the real Hagoromo Gengetsu attentively listened to Samui recounting the changes in the Hagoromo clan over the decades.

To be serious, since being hit by a truck and arriving in the familiar yet strange world of Naruto, Hagoromo Gengetsu had taken a more carefree approach to life.

Didn't he know that eliminating those nobles and daimyos would bring repercussions?

Of course, he did.

But having lived an ordinary and constrained life in his past, seeing all sorts of distressing things, only to curse in his mind without being able to do anything, and even worrying if his actions would bring trouble to himself and his family, was utterly mediocre.

Reborn, especially with great power in his hands, he couldn't continue living like that.

As Captain Jia once wisely said:

"The Imperial Army didn't come to be bullied by you, and you still bully me when they're here. What's the point of the Imperial Army coming then!"

From this perspective, Hagoromo Gengetsu felt he had to live freely, without many burdens, to make the most of his second chance.

Therefore, when the Five Kages ambushed him without warning, aside from his initial anger, he did not harbor the overwhelming hatred that others might expect, nor did he swear to wash the Five Great Ninja Villages in blood repeatedly, sparing no one from adults to children.

Victory and defeat are the norm.

They seized the opportunity and struck decisively.

Hagoromo Gengetsu could accept this calmly.

However, people leave traces behind.

As an outsider from another world, some things had inevitably left a mark on his heart.

For example, the Hagoromo clan.

As the clan leader of the Hagoromo clan, Hagoromo Gengetsu had made provisions for the clan’s survival in case he ever met a tragic end.

The most important issue was undoubtedly their survival in a changed ninja world.

Clans as powerful as the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Kaguya, and Yuki, which were once dominant in the Warring States period, all vanished in the ninja village era.

Knowing the future, Hagoromo Gengetsu had planned new paths for the Hagoromo clan.

And it seemed his descendants had followed through.
