My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 105: The Expedition, the Land of Rain!

"I never expected that the Moon Goddess would be Shinji Hyuga."

Back at the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade remarked to Hyuga Yuto:

"That treacherous guy... Yuto, why do you think he would do this? I've heard the gossip in the village that he has a childhood sweetheart in the clan, named..."

"Miss Miko." Hinata Yuto chuckled.

"Teacher, you saw them that night."

"Oh..." The blonde woman frowned slightly, recalling her disciple's pained expression after the caged bird's outburst that night, and tenderly ruffled Yuto's hair.

"Damn Shinji... he's definitely not a good person." Tsunade instantly shared the same hatred as her disciple.

He is not only not a good person, he is not even a living person now.

Hyuga Yuto chuckled inwardly.

"Yuto, the Land of Rain is already more dangerous than the Land of Hot Springs, and now there's this attack on the Moon Goddess... You need to be careful."

"Don't worry, Master, your disciple is now a battle-hardened ninja."

"You're still too green, young man." Tsunade took out a package and handed it to Hyuga Yuto:

"This is for Kushina. She wrote to me last time saying she really wanted to eat the dorayaki from the Senju clan's territory."

"Okay." Hyuga Yuto suddenly frowned:

"Is she in the Land of Rain?"

"Um."

"I thought that, given her status, she would stay quietly in the village."

Kushina Uzumaki's identity as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki was not common knowledge in Konoha, but given Hyuga Yuto's current status, it's not surprising that he knew about it.

Tsunade, without suspicion, shook her head and said:

"The battlefront in the Land of Rain needs her strength. As the last descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina's sealing techniques are very strong and can handle many special situations. Moreover, Minato is there, and she carries the Flying Thunder God Kunai with her."

"Indeed... Teacher, I'll be going now. According to the rules, I need to pay my respects to the clan chief."

"Don't go, you'll stay here tonight. I'll share some more of my experience with you... As a commander, you can no longer see yourself as an ordinary ninja." Tsunade yawned and said with a smile:

"And your clan leader probably isn't in the mood to see you right now."

……

Sungai tribe.

It was already very late at night, but Hiashi Hyuga remained silent as he sat on the wide chair.

"Chief, Miss Miko has arrived."

"Um."

Hiashi Hyuga looked up at the girl from the main family who had entered the house.

Shinji died... During the year of her disappearance, Miko grew thinner and thinner, and often couldn't even eat. However, she was very beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and fair skin. Even when she was sickly, she was still captivating.

In fact, as a ninja, Hyuga Miko's will was not that weak.

If she sees Shinji Hinata's body, she will cry her heart out, but one day she will get over it and return to her life.

Unfortunately, Shinji Hyuga has disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead; he is "missing"!

The greatest despair contains a glimmer of hope, and the most unbearable thing is the daily struggle to wait for a miracle.

"Miko." Hyuga Hiashi opened his mouth, paused, and after a long while, continued:

"How have you been lately?"

"Master, you summoned me here so late at night; surely it wasn't just to chat?"

Hyuga Miko said softly that because of her poor mental state, she was not very nice to anyone, and the Hyuga clan members were used to it.

Hijiri was not offended and calmly said:

"I want to talk to you, Miko. As the head of the main family, you've reached marriageable age and should take on more responsibility..."

"Master, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Miko! You need to face reality, Shinji has already..."

"You're going to say again that Shinji is dead and I should move on from my grief, right?" Hinata Yoshiko's already tense nerves suddenly snapped. Ignoring etiquette and rules, she stood up and shouted:

"What do you know? You don't understand Shinji at all!"

"Oh?" Hiashi Hyuga's eyes flashed, and he deliberately feigned anger, frowning as he said:

"As the head of the main family and the Hyuga clan leader, I know Shinji very well..."

Hinata Yoshiko interrupted him:

"No! You know nothing! Shinji is a very kind and gentle person! He takes care of small animals, collects colorful glass beads, and then makes those glass beads into a necklace for me... You know nothing except that Shinji mastered [Return to Heaven] when he was twelve years old!"

The girl roared angrily, then turned and left.

The spacious house was left with only Hyuga Hiashi.

"Yes, we really know nothing about Shinji... but so do you."

He murmured softly.

Hinata Yoshiko would explode at the mere mention of Shinji, and Hiashi knew this very well. Tonight, he had hoped to probe into Hinata Shinji's true personality, but he gained nothing.

It seems that even when facing Miko, Shinji only showed a facade of his true personality.

During the day, in the Hokage's office, Hiashi Hyuga heard the Third Hokage's deduction and was shocked and terrified, fearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi would take his anger out on the Hyuga clan.

Looking back now, what was there to be afraid of?

Regardless of what Shinji did, the power emanating from him was something the gradually declining Hyuga clan desperately craved...

He can fly through the air and disappear into the ground, instantly slay the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, overpower the Third Hokage, and wipe out a ninja army with a flick of his finger!

The Byakugan is a very useful bloodline limit. Once a member of the Hyuga clan reaches adulthood, they are guaranteed to be a Chunin at the very least, but once they reach Jonin, it is very difficult to advance further. It is simply incomparable to the Sharingan.

"Lack of high-end combat power" is a pain that will always be in Hyuga's heart.

If I could obtain that power...

The lights in the spacious room flickered on and off.

……

Five days later, Hyuga Yuto finally prepared to go to the Land of Rain.

As the deputy commander, he certainly wouldn't go alone.

Hyuga Yuto now truly felt the difference between a commander and an ordinary ninja. Before setting off, many people came to him to report and confirm things such as the departure time, supply routes along the way, the configuration of the reconnaissance team, and various codes. He was informed of everything, big or small.

Hyuga Yuto felt overwhelmed, but fortunately Tsunade was there to help him. After cramming on a lot of knowledge, he was able to handle things quite systematically.

"Last time, before you went to the battlefield, I was the one who helped you tidy your clothes. At that time, you were just an ordinary Jonin. This time, you are already the vice commander."

Tsunade tucked the necklace inlaid with green crystal into her disciple's collar, smoothing out the hem of his clothes as she did so.

"As the deputy commander, you still need to pay attention to your image. There are many eyes watching you. If you're dirty, people will think something terrible has happened on the battlefield."

"Teacher." Hyuga Yuto suddenly chuckled:

"I can see the top of your head."

"Hmph..." Tsunade lightly tapped her disciple on the head:

"Kid, you're still a long way from looking down on your teacher."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hyuga Yuto put the vice-captain's armband on his shoulder and said goodbye to his teacher.

Upon leaving the Senju clan's territory and arriving at the gate, he found many ninjas already waiting for him.

Amidst cries of "Commander," Hyuga Yuto stepped to the front.

Marching to the Land of Rain.
