A long-forgotten plot in the original novel flashed through Senju Chen's mind like lightning.
He remembered that in the original work, these seven guys seemed to be defeated by one man on his own. That man burned all his life and started the final First Gate--Gate of Death of Eight Gates Released Formation, eventually killing four people and seriously injuring three others.
That man is Konoha and Genin forever.
That man is Might Guy's father - Might Duy.
Might Duy This Genin used Eight Gates Released Formation to kill four people, namely Kushimaru Kuriarare, Jinin Akebino, Munashi Jinpachi and The first owner of the double sword Hiramekarei (Senju Chen forgot his name), and the three survivors are Juzo Biwa, Suikazan Fuguki and Raiga Kurosuki.
Thinking of this, Senju Chen suddenly felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart.
Wrong...
Totally wrong!
He suddenly remembered that when he knew Might Guy, that watermelon-headed boy who was so passionate that he was a little out of line, mentioned his deceased father more than once.
Might Duy, he would have been dead a long time ago!
When Might Guy said this before, Senju Chen didn't take it seriously, but it was only when he saw these seven people from Kirigakure today that Senju Chen realized it.
Unlike the original work, Might Duy actually died early?
This knowledge is like a basin of ice water being poured down your face.
The calmness and confidence on Senju Chen's face quietly solidified at this moment.
An icy chill that came from the depths of his soul crept up his spine and swept through his body in an instant.
It was not the fear of the seven powerful enemies in front of me, but a deeper and more essential... panic of the unknown!
His greatest reliance, his confidence in daring to shape the world and dancing on the edge of a knife, comes from his "omniscient" about the future plot direction of this world.
But now, a person who was supposed to create miracles and shine in the future has turned into dust.
Is this a trivial deviation?
No!
Might Duy's premature death is like a butterfly flapping its wings at the wrong time. What will be the chain reaction it triggers?
Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was not seriously injured, they appeared here completely at this moment.
What about the future?
Once there are countless subtle deviations, the plot direction of this world will be completely different.
Will the members of Akatsuki change? Will Obito Uchiha's plan deviate? The resurrection of Rinnegan of Nagato...Fourth Shinobi World War...Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki...
Countless chaotic thoughts, like a mess, were churning crazily in his mind.
Is it because of his own arrival?
Is it just me, a butterfly from another world, that has completely messed up the timeline of the entire Hokage world? Or... the story that I know well has been deviating from the real world from the beginning?
For a moment, Senju Chen felt that the solid ground under his feet had become extremely illusory. He seemed to have become a helmsman sailing in the fog, and the navigation chart in his hand suddenly burned to ashes.
"Hey, that Iwagakure kid over there."
A hoarse and playful voice interrupted Senju Chen's thoughts. It was Kushimaru Kuriarare holding Nuibari. He stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, his eyes full of cruel smiles.
"It's very courageous for a person to dare to wander around outside at a time like this. Tell me, are you a spy of Konoha or a lackey of Kumogakure?"
"If you talk nonsense to him, just kill him." Jinin Akebino, who was carrying a dull knife Kabutowari, said in a dull voice, full of impatience.
Juzo Biwa didn't speak, but took the huge Kubikiribōchō off his shoulder. The tip of the knife pointed diagonally at the ground. The eyes hidden under the bandage locked on Senju Chen like a hawk.
They could feel that something was wrong with the seemingly ordinary Iwagakure scout in front of them.
Facing the seven legendary ninjas, he did not run away immediately, nor even showed the slightest fear. That calmness itself was the biggest abnormality.
Senju Chen took a slow, deep breath.
The cold air poured into his lungs, causing his brain that had almost stopped due to panic to start functioning again.
Panic?
Yes, just now, he did feel panic.
But so what?
In the depths of his eyes, the confusion and panic caused by the unknown were quickly receding. Instead, there was a colder, purer madness and determination!
What if the plot is really different from what you know?
So what!
Did I come to this world just to follow the original work and be a shadow that keeps pace with it?
No!
What he, Senju Chen, wants is the power to firmly hold his destiny in his own hands! The absolute strength to be fearless of any accidents and variables!
In the past, I relied on plot because I was not strong enough.
But now...
He felt the Chakra rushing like a river in his body, felt the majestic vitality of the Senju Clan, and felt the echo of Flying Thunder God Mark in the space.
What else do I need to be afraid of now?
Even if Madara Uchiha jumps out and beats himself now, even if he can't beat him, won't he still be able to run away?
Moreover, I am still young, so as long as I am given a certain amount of room for growth and with the help of the system, even if Lord Madara really resurrects from the coffin board, I can press him back again.
After figuring this out, Senju Chen felt that his thoughts were clear, and the last trace of fear of the unknown disappeared.
He even laughed unconsciously.
It was a smile that came from the heart, with a hint of relief, and a bit of joking and cruelty.
"Might Duy..." He whispered the name softly, "When I go back this time, I have to find out how you died. But now..."
His eyes fell on the seven people in front of him again.
It was a kind of... look at prey.
Even if the future does deviate slightly from the plot I know well, so what?
These people didn't die in the hands of Might Guy's father, but died in his own hands. This can be regarded as helping to correct the plot.
And if Might Duy is not dead, these seven famous Shinobi World Ninja Blade...
These seven knives are all good things.
Kubikiribōchō's regeneration, Samehada's devouring, Nuibari's puncture, Kabutowari's defense breaking, Shibuki's explosion, tooth's Lightning Release, Hiramekarei's Chakra shaping...
If you can get them all...
Even if I don't need it in the future, at worst, I will form a "Konoha Seven" in Konoha in the future. It seems quite interesting to think about it.
Thinking of this, the smile on Senju Chen's face became even brighter.
"Kid, what are you laughing at?" Suikazan Fuguki frowned. From the other person's smile, he read a kind of... contempt and greed that made him extremely uncomfortable.
Senju Chen didn't answer him.
He just slowly raised his right hand and held Thunder God Sword behind his back.
The next second, the disguise on his body suddenly faded away, and the "earthy smell" of Iwagakure Ninja Chakra disappeared, replaced by a terrifying aura as vast as the abyss and as violent as thunder!
The black windbreaker rustled in the night wind, and those deep eyes were astonishingly bright under the moonlight.
"Originally I was just passing by and didn't intend to cause any trouble."
His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"However, now that we have met, it is fate."
"Today, I want all seven of you and the knives in your hands."
