Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

After finishing their trip to the Hidden Mist Village, Uchiha Kagezuki, Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu decided to go to the Land of Hot Springs to enjoy this peaceful country famous for its hot springs.

The Land of Hot Springs is located between the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning. It has a superior geographical location and a pleasant climate, making it the most famous hot spring resort in the ninja world.

Because it is located on an island country, Hot Spring Country survived the Ninja World War and gradually developed a prosperous tourism industry, attracting a large number of tourists to relax.

The ninja village in the Land of Hot Springs, Yugakure Village, has gradually lost its combat effectiveness due to its long-term absence from the Ninja World War and is known as the "village that forgot the war."

The civilians in this country live a stable life, and the hot springs and resorts that can be found everywhere in the village make this place full of a peaceful atmosphere.

After the three arrived in the Land of Hot Springs, they first came to the most famous hot spring hotel in the area.

The hotel is located between green mountains and clear waters, surrounded by lush forests. The air is filled with the sulfur smell of hot springs, giving people a soothing feeling.

The owner of the hot spring hotel received them warmly and introduced them to the hot spring culture of Yu Kingdom.

"Our hot springs are first-rate," the owner said proudly. "There is a tradition of mixed bathing for men and women here, and many couples like to come here to relax."

When they heard "mixed bathing for men and women", Ayane and Chinatsu's cheeks instantly turned red.

Even though they were all ninjas and were used to all kinds of battles and life and death scenes, the scene of bathing with Shadow Moon still made them a little shy.

However, considering that this is a local tradition, Uchiha Yingyue suggested to follow the local customs and enjoy this rare experience.

"It's okay," Uchiha Yingyue said with a smile, "We can relax together. After all, this is a beautiful place and we should enjoy it."

Under the boss's arrangement, the three were led to a private hot spring room. The design of the room was very unique. The hot spring pool was surrounded by bluestone slabs and bamboo wood. The hot spring water in the pool was crystal clear, emitting warm steam and at a moderate temperature, making people feel extremely comfortable.

The surrounding scenery is quiet and leisurely, with only the sound of gentle flowing water, as if isolated from the world.

Although a little shy, the three of them slowly entered the hot spring.

The warmth of the hot spring water wrapped around their bodies, and their tense muscles were relaxed at this moment. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Uchiha Yingyue suggested ordering some wine and drinking it while soaking in the hot spring.

All three agreed to the proposal, and soon several bottles of sake were placed by the hot spring.

As the alcohol gradually took effect, the atmosphere between the three people gradually became relaxed and intimate.

Yingyue, Ayane and Chinatsu already had a crush on each other, and under the dual effects of the hot spring steam and alcohol, they became closer and closer to each other.

The water in the hot spring pool ripples gently, reflecting their slightly red faces and gradually blurred eyes.

"This is such a wonderful time," Uchiha Yingyue said softly, "It's great that we can relax here together."

Ayane and Chinatsu also nodded in agreement, tenderness flashing in their eyes. They gradually approached Yingyue, and the breathing of the three people gradually intertwined.

In this warm water vapor, time seemed to stand still, the feelings between the three people grew deeper, and their thoughts on each other also merged into one at this moment.

Under the shade of the hot spring pool, they leaned against each other unconsciously, becoming intimate and close.

In the hazy night, the three of them finally broke through the vague barrier and confessed their deepest feelings to each other. The night passed quietly in their sweet embrace.

When the next day's sunlight shone into the room through the paper window, Yingyue, Ayane and Chinatsu woke up from this gentle paradise.

Looking at the two people beside him, Uchiha Yingyue felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.

Although yesterday's experience made them a little shy, they all understood that this relationship was sublimated last night.

The three of them smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding in their hearts. Uchiha Yingyue said softly: "We should continue our journey. This period of time has passed so quickly. I hope there will be more time like this in the future."

In the warm morning light, they gathered themselves and prepared for a new journey.

But the memories of this time in Yunokuni Hot Spring Hotel will remain in their hearts forever.

Uchiha Kagezuki, Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu had a pleasant and relaxing trip to the hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs, but Kagezuki's keen perception made him realize that there was a strange atmosphere hidden in this seemingly peaceful land.

One day, when Uchiha Yingyue was wandering on the street, he accidentally heard some tiny whispers and conversations with mysterious symbols.

Uchiha Yingyue felt something was wrong, so he decided to quietly follow the source of the words.

Following the sound, Uchiha Yingyue noticed a group of mysterious people wearing black robes and hoods gathering in a remote alley.

Under their guidance, several seemingly ordinary civilians had dull expressions and empty eyes, as if they were controlled by some force.

Uchiha Yingyue realized that these people were not ordinary residents of the Land of Hot Springs, but evil cult forces hiding under the appearance of peace.

With his powerful perception ability, he quickly noticed the strange chakra fluctuations emitted by these people, which were completely different from the chakra of ordinary ninjas and were full of cold and ominous aura.

In addition, the black-robed people kept mentioning words such as "sacrifice" and "eternal life", and Uchiha Yingyue instantly thought of the evil cult in the original work.

The Evil God Cult, this mysterious and strange cult, is based on extremely cruel sacrificial rituals and the worship of evil gods. The believers can often gain powerful power or even immortality, and Hidan in the original work is the most famous member of it.

Uchiha Yingyue's heart trembled, knowing that he might have uncovered the horrible secret beneath the country's false appearance of peace.

Uchiha Yingyue followed the men in black robes quietly, trying not to let them notice his presence.

Soon, the black-robed people brought the abducted civilians to a hidden underground altar.

Uchiha Yingyue hid in the dark, observing the movements of these evil cultists.

In the center of the altar there is a huge statue of an evil god with a hideous face and obscure runes carved all around.

The believers gathered in front of the statue and began to chant ancient and mysterious spells. An unsettling dark atmosphere permeated the altar.

The abducted civilians were forced to kneel on the ground, their eyes empty and lifeless, completely losing their self-awareness.

They were obviously controlled and unable to resist.

Several believers stepped forward and cut the civilian's wrist with a sharp blade. Blood flowed down and fell on the runes on the altar. Suddenly, the runes emitted a dark red light, as if absorbing vitality. The whole altar exuded an even more weird aura.

"Oh evil god, please give us strength!" A leading black-robed cultist shouted loudly, his voice full of fanaticism and madness.
