He never imagined that this dilapidated hut would contain a treasure enough to ensure an ordinary person would never have to worry about food and drink.
He discovered these things unintentionally when he opened his White Eyes just now.
It must be the treasure that bastard father stole, all hidden in this place.
After tidying up the gold and jewelry, Xia Yan went to his mother's dressing box, emptied out the few pieces of jewelry inside, and took out a diary.
Xia Yan casually flipped through the diary, read a few pages, then closed it with a gloomy face and twitching lips.
"Oh no, this feels like I'm having a heart attack."
He now understood why his mother always treated him like an enemy, and why his father, who was not good-looking at all and had no redeeming qualities, could find such a beautiful wife as his mother.
It turns out that the mother's fate was similar to that of the green-haired ghost next to her, which had already turned to ashes. She was originally a lady from a prominent family.
As a result, not only did Narukami Tsuki Saburo kill her entire family, but he also kidnapped her because she was beautiful and made her his wife.
Now the case is solved.
It turns out I wasn't just her child, but also the child of her enemy. No wonder she took her anger out on me every day, wishing she could jump into the well with me.
He casually rubbed a fire and burned the diary in his hand.
"Narukami Tsuki Saburo, you've done so many terrible things! You deserve to die!!!"
Xia Yan spat a mouthful of phlegm onto his father's broken body.
After doing all this, Xia Yan took a deep breath.
"Is this the unique feature of Demon Slayer? My life on this forum is like a coffee table! It's covered in tragedies!"
Chapter 9 Post-Battle Settlement Interface
"Damn it, my life is just full of tragedies!"
Thinking of his miserable life over the past fourteen years, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.
However, he quickly cheered up.
It wasn't because he had a positive and optimistic attitude, but simply because he found someone even more miserable than himself, and in comparison, he didn't feel so miserable anymore.
"It's better than those two unlucky guys who were locked in the lab as guinea pigs. Compared to them, I'm doing alright."
Xia Yan revealed a wicked smile.
Indeed, life does require comparison.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a chat window popped up in his mind.
[Ajin Natsuhiko]: "What kind of humanity is this? You're even gloating over someone else's misfortune, huh?! Get back here for the meeting!!"
[Demon Slayer Natsuhiko]: "Damn it, you're spying on me, huh? Is there no law or justice left?"
[JOJO Natsuhiko]: "It's true, I've lived an upright and honest life, a true heir to the Golden Spirit. I never imagined that in another timeline, I would fall to such a low point. I'm very sad."
[Pirate Xia Yan]: "Get lost! His reaction is exactly the same as yours back then. What are you pretending for?"
[Natsuhiko, the Hokage]: "Look at you all, you're all adults, yet you're not as mature as a five-year-old like me. You're unworthy of being called Natsuhiko—and you over there, Natsuhiko the Demon Slayer, stop standing there like an idiot and come back here!"
[Demon Slayer Natsuhiko]: "After all, the defining characteristic of Naruto is precociousness. Maybe when you're six, you'll be able to think like the Hokage."
While sending trash talk in the group, Xia Yan thought for a moment and returned to that pure white space.
Seeing the dangerous gazes cast by Pirate Natsuhiko and Ajin Natsuhiko, Demon Slayer Natsuhiko immediately knelt down, vividly demonstrating what it means to be meek and submissive in person but unleash a powerful attack online.
But there's nothing shameful about kneeling before yourself.
In his past life, Xia Yan would often wake up in the middle of the night to admire his own good looks, then admire himself in the mirror and lament the unfairness of fate, wondering why he was born so handsome and how others could live.
Seeing how sensible Demon Slayer Natsuhiko was, neither Pirate Natsuhiko nor Ajin Natsuhiko held on to him.
They only spared him after making him do thirty arubas.
JOJO Natsuhiko, standing to the side, watched everyone still enjoying being a Pillar, a smile of relief and nostalgia on his face. Clearly, he had also been a Pillar in the past.
After the antics ended, Xia Yan and his friends sat around a bronze round table that had appeared out of nowhere, and the atmosphere became serious once again.
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "To be honest, Ripple is really useful. You'll know once you use it!"
Pirate Xia Yan: "You're lucky to be able to go to the Demon Slayer world. Life here isn't so good. The World Government is just a bunch of Celestial Dragons' lackeys, a real dog government."
Hokage Natsuhiko: "Dog government?"
Pirate Xia Yan: "Isn't the World Government a dog government? And the Celestial Dragons, the masters of this bastard dog government, are even more bastards, the worst of the worst!"
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Pfft hahahaha..."
JOJO Natsuhiko: "Alright, we're not having this meeting to chat. You two should hurry up and assign tasks."
Seeing the topic veer off course again, JOJO Natsuhiko finally set a good example as a reliable adult and steered the conversation back on track.
Since the system doesn't have any functions that can actively improve one's strength, Xia Yan has to rely on his own efforts for everything.
While one could pin their hopes on waiting for a powerful figure to come along, doing so was far too passive. Xia Yan believed that while waiting to latch onto a powerful figure, he also needed to work hard himself.
After all, his success in his previous life wasn't solely due to his innocent yet wildly beautiful eyes.
Besides his handsome face, at least 49% of his success is due to his own hard work.
Since both the pirate Natsuhiko and the demi-human Natsuhiko suffer constant torment upon returning to their own world, they have no intention of leaving the [Natsuhiko Mutual Aid Space] until they have a chance to change their current situation.
Spending every day in this space means having the most free time, giving me ample opportunity to think about plans.
Therefore, it is usually the two of them who make the follow-up plans.
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "So what do you two usually do when you're in the dimension?"
Although he has shared his memories with the other Xia Yans, he has not shared all the details; some specific details of his daily life have been retained.
This also includes forms of entertainment, etc...
Of course, if Xia Yan really doesn't care, he can make this kind of content available.
However, although the Xia Yans who have come to this space are somewhat lacking in integrity and have their own problems in terms of personality, they are not without their own shortcomings.
However, there is still some conservatism in this regard.
Even knowing that they will eventually become one, no one will resist it, but at least until that day comes, they will still leave themselves some privacy.
Chapter 10 Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "So what do you two usually do? You can't just sit there staring at each other, can you?"
Pirate Natsuhiko: "Reading a novel."
To be honest, this answer surprised Natsuhiko from Demon Slayer. He didn't know that there were novels in this space.
Fortunately, his question was answered quickly.
Ajin Natsuhiko: "Actually, it's your observation log. As long as Natsuhiko stays in this space, he can see the observation logs of other Natsuhikos who have been to this space but returned to their own world."
"The content is incredibly low-quality. They describe everything, from what the food was eaten to how many bites and how many times it was chewed, but they omit the crucial parts. The content is even more strictly censored than Lu's. It's basically a text-based live stream."
"We also saw your gloating remarks through this observation log."
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "...So you really are a screen-peeping dog?"
Pirate Xia Yan: "You've contributed nothing and only know how to eat for free, so why are you spouting so much nonsense? Hurry up and figure out how to learn the breathing technique first."
After repeatedly assuring Natsuhiko that he wouldn't cause trouble, the conversation returned to normal.
It has to be said that having these two external brains—which don't need to worry about their own lives and only think about how others are developing—is indeed quite convenient.
After all, bystanders have a clearer perspective; making plans from God's point of view is obviously more logical and clear than those directly involved.
"If Hokage Natsuhiko were to become a member of the Hyuga branch family, it would be difficult for him to achieve much. To be honest, the Hyuga clan is just so-so. Moreover, the timing of your rise to power is also awkward. You and Minato Namikaze will be going through two Shinobi World Wars."
"So it's best to go down the path of a medical ninja, avoid going to the battlefield as much as possible, study biology more in the future, and find a way to get in touch with Orochimaru."
Hokage Natsuhiko nodded, feeling his thoughts become much clearer.
Indeed, the Hyuga clan, with their Byakugan, are not really suited for direct combat.
Taijutsu-type ninjas are unlikely to play a crucial role on large-scale battlefields and are easily killed by unknown area-of-effect (AoE) damage.
The Byakugan's abilities are better suited for reconnaissance, and its enhancement in chakra control is also ideal for researching medical ninjutsu. Furthermore, the Byakugan can see through the human body, making it practically a natural-born doctor.
Even in ninjutsu, the added advantage of chakra control allows for remarkable achievements.
I don't know why the Hyuga clan insisted on focusing on taijutsu. In the end, they were touted as the number one ninja clan in Konoha, but they couldn't produce many truly useful members. In the end, they were mainly responsible for reconnaissance work.
After resolving the future plans for the Naruto world, Pirate Natsuhiko and Ajin Natsuhiko once again turned their attention to Demon Slayer Natsuhiko.
"Although Ripple is almost equivalent to sunlight to ghosts, you'd better not use it recklessly."
"After all, Ripple counters Oni ≠ you are invincible."
"Using it occasionally is fine, after all, Muzan won't pay attention to all the demons all the time, and he won't pay attention to the lowly demons. But if you use it too much, it will definitely attract Muzan's attention."
"With your current strength, even with the Ripple enhancement, you might not be able to compare to the Lower Moon Demon. Be careful not to get surrounded and killed."
"And if Muzan gets scared and hides for hundreds of years, it will be even more troublesome."
Looking at the demi-human Natsuhiko and the pirate Natsuhiko sitting at the round table, looking like commanders, Natsuhiko nodded obediently and didn't cause any more trouble.
He was being so mischievous before, just to vent his depression.
After all, after sharing memories, Xia Yan didn't enjoy the blessings that others enjoyed, but he suffered all the hardships.
After returning to his own world, he experienced two more tragic episodes characteristic of Demon Slayer, which really took a toll on his mental health. The other Xia Yans, having had similar experiences, understood this and allowed him to act so recklessly.
The fact that Natsuhiko finds it amusing when he hears demons scream is actually partly influenced by the two of them.
A person's personality can change as they experience different things.
Although they all started as Xia Yan, their different experiences in different worlds have led to slight differences in their personalities.
Although Natsuhiko, the pirate with the most tragic fate, did not show it, his mind was actually filled with the desire to destroy everything and overturn the entire world. And Natsuhiko, who had experienced inhuman torture, could not possibly be a good person.
As Xia Yan is also more likely to be influenced by him.
Although the sharing of memories didn't have a major impact, it did have some influence on Xia Yan's personality.
