Naruto: The Masked Witch

The village is returning home with an empty vegetable basket on its back.

My home is located at the outermost part of the Fire Kingdom, at the junction of the Thunder Kingdom and the Water Kingdom.

Many villagers fled here in fear of being involved in the flames of war, so the villager Zheng's family is one of the few remaining villagers.

But there is no arable land around the village, and the wild vegetables near their home have been dug up by their family, so the villager has no choice but to cross the stone ridge, dig wild vegetables and bring them home.

In the morning, the family watched the village leave the house and waited for the whole day, expecting him to bring back food for the family to enjoy.

Murozheng's father stood in front of the gate, walking back and forth impatiently. The food at home had bottomed out, and the family had to count on this harvest from Murozheng for their daily full meal.

At the same time, if Muramasa didn't wait to bring back enough food, the whip used to punish him had already been hung at the gate.

Finally, a skinny figure walked on the horizon of the setting sun, and the villager was walking on the dirt and stone road with shabby steps, with a stooped figure.

The prolonged hunger also caused some changes in his body.

"Muramasa, we have been waiting for you for a day, where is the food you brought back?"

Seeing Muramasa's appearance, his father ran up to him impatiently, but didn't say a word of concern, and hurriedly rummaged through the vegetable basket on Muramasa's back.

As a result, what he caught was a hand of dirt.

"Where are the wild vegetables I asked you to pick?"

"Wild vegetables... I ate them." Muramasa showed a hearty smile, facing his father, this was the first time he was not timid.

"You said you ate? Your skin is itchy, right?"

As soon as Murozheng's father grasped Murozhang's neck, the thin Murozhang couldn't even lift up the strength to resist, and his body hit the wall of the house straight.

"Father, you don't want to kill me, do you? Just like when you watched your sister starve to death."

"So what if I kill you? If it wasn't for the fact that you can still bring food to the family, I would have killed you a long time ago. Now that you can't bring food, if you keep you, you will have more mouths to eat."

"Eat, father, think about it carefully. Over the years, you have never thought of giving me food. Every time my food is leftovers from you and mother."

"How dare you talk back!"

Muramasa's father directly tied him to the pillar in front of the house, and with the whip in his hand, he beat Muramasa hard on the back.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The sound of skin and flesh bursting echoed in the courtyard, and the clothes on the villager's back were ripped apart, revealing his scarred back, which was covered with welt marks accumulated over the years.

"Hit me with a whip, and want to get your pathetic satisfaction from me." Muramasa said the complaints he had accumulated in his heart for a long time, but this time he said it so smoothly.

It was as if something in his body ignited his depression and released the devil in his heart.

"you wanna die!"

Muramasa's father whipped him heavily on the back, with such force that the wound on Murozha's back opened again, blood gushing out.

He didn't wail, and endured all this silently.

Rather than talking about pain, the physical pain could not be conveyed to Muramasa's head, the corners of his mouth were bent upwards, feeling that some kind of emotion in his heart was surging.

That seed, nourished by hatred, began to take root and sprout.

Suddenly, a voice came from Muramasa's mind, which echoed for a long time.

"Do you want to be in control, or are you willing to be his prop and be treated like an animal?"

"who are you?"

"I am your shadow, your source, and one of your personalities. Answer me, would you like to live like an animal?"

"I want others to be cattle more than being cattle."

"That's right, this is you. You want to control everything in your hands, and let the whole world become your marionette, a lust-like existence."

The words in his heart constantly bewitched Muramasa, leading him step by step to touch that taboo area.

"You have to become lust!"
