My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 106 Powder Keg

In Konoha 49, when the war reached its climax, all the major powers had committed all their strength to the war. With the death of the first Kage, Yagura Tachibana, the intensity of the war was raised to a new level.

From the perspective of the Land of Fire alone, there are two main battlefields.

—Eastern Hot Springs Front (Kirigakure, Kumogakure), Western Rain Front (Sunagakure, Iwagakure).

It may seem like they are surrounded by enemies, but in reality, the five major powers have rifts with each other and can never cooperate sincerely. They are all engaged in chaotic wars targeting each other. Even if they temporarily come together because of something, they will separate afterwards or even turn against each other on the spot!

Compared to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Water, the battlefield in the Land of Rain was far more devastating.

Geographical factors are the main reason for this: Kirigakure is isolated overseas, and its landing points are scattered, making it difficult to concentrate forces to fight against Konoha and Kumogakure. Even if they successfully assemble, it will take a certain amount of time.

The Land of Rain borders the three great nations of Fire, Earth, and Wind, making it a natural battlefield. Ninjas can see the faces of enemy ninjas without having to march far from their own country.

The intense battles have led to constant turmoil in the Land of Rain, creating an extremely complex situation involving powerful external nations, local forces, and ambitious individuals hiding behind the scenes. In this country shrouded in rain year-round, few children manage to survive their childhood; corpses litter the land, and countless tragedies occur.

In the land of rain, there is a saying:

Our country has the most fertile soil, a land where the most beautiful flowers in the world can bloom.

—Because there was too much fertilizer.

In the autumn of Konoha 49, Hyuga Yuto once again stepped into this powder keg.

The command post for the western front of Konoha was located 20 kilometers outside the border of the Land of Fire, and the route from Konoha Village to this location was unobstructed.

During wartime, everything is kept simple. When Hyuga Yuto led the reinforcements to the camp, only a squad of ninjas came to greet them. The battle in the Land of Rain was too intense, and being able to send out so many people was already a sign of great importance.

The person in charge was someone Hyuga Yuto was quite familiar with.

"Yo, Kakashi." Hyuga Yuto chuckled.

"You've grown taller."

Kakashi Hatake rolled his eyes inwardly, feeling that this was the tone of an elder speaking to a junior.

However, Hyuga Yuto was a year older than him, had become the deputy commander of the front line of the Land of Rain, was more capable in combat, and was even a generation older than his teacher, Tsunade. He was truly suppressed in every aspect.

"Vice Commander," Kakashi said listlessly, using the word "Vice" rather subtly.

"The teacher isn't at the camp. He went out to fight the Iwagakure troops this morning. He told me that if you come over, you can take a look at the battle reports and confidential documents first, and we'll talk about the specifics when he gets back."

"Alright, I'll do as the commander says." Hyuga Yuto readily agreed.

"The commander must have made arrangements for these reinforcements behind me?"

"Yes, reconnaissance squads, defense squads, medical squads, frontal combat squads... every area is short-staffed." Kakashi Hatake sighed.

"Now I'm doing the work of three people. I'm also the commander's assistant, the squad leader of the fourth raiding squad, and the intelligence analyst... Tomorrow, I'll be leading my squad on a combat mission."

Hyuga Yuto was astonished. He hadn't expected the battles in the Land of Rain to be this intense, to the point that even Konoha, the village with the largest population, was exploiting its manpower like this.

"You've really had a hard time... Let's go inside. We've been getting soaked ever since we entered the Land of Rain."

Because it was built in the humid Land of Rain, the Konoha camp adopted a bamboo building structure, with rocks used as pillars to support the buildings above. This not only served to guard against Earth Release attacks from Iwagakure, but also prevented the food from getting damp.

Hyuga Yuto's private office was located not far from Namikaze Minato's. It was very large, with the office area in the front and the sleeping and living area in the back.

"Deputy Commander..."

"Kakashi, when we're not around, just call me by my name. We were often sparred with each other by our teachers at the Ninja Academy, and we were together when we were promoted to Jonin. We're not that distant yet."

"...Yuto-kun." Kakashi Hatake nodded.

"As the deputy commander, two guards will be assigned to your house to relay orders and keep watch. Do you have anyone in mind?"

"No, let's see what Minato-senpai decides."

"it is good."

War makes people grow, and Kakashi, who is a year younger than Hyuga Yuto, is already able to handle these miscellaneous tasks very well.

"By the way, is Kushina-senpai here?" Hyuga Yuto picked up the package Tsunade had given him.

"The dorayaki from next to the Senju clan's territory was given to Kushina-senpai by the teacher."

"At the camp, it's just..." Kakashi hesitated for a long time before finally uttering what he thought was a very tactful and elegant statement:

"Kushina-senpai is in the teacher's room. Well, since the teacher is the leader and Kushina-senpai is the class leader of the sealing class, they have a lot of official interactions."

"Why are you explaining all that nonsense?" Hyuga Yuto asked, puzzled.

"Aren't they together now?"

"Huh!?" Kakashi's eyes widened.

"How did you...?"

"Everyone in the village knows, they're always inseparable, even on the battlefield they're always together... Kakashi-kun, for men and women who truly love each other, separation is a poison more painful than death."

Kakashi held his head, feeling incredibly frustrated.

Ugh, Yuto, he's saying such impressive adult things so easily again...

Ignoring Kakashi Hatake, who was once again struck down, Yuto Hyuga went to a house not far away. He was wearing the epaulets of a vice commander, which allowed him to go anywhere, but Yuto still knocked lightly on the door before entering.

Inside the room, Kushina, with her long red hair, froze when she saw the newcomer, then sprang up from the table with a thud, scratching the back of her head and laughing.

"Oh, it's Yuto-kun. I'm looking for a document from Commander Minato's place, hahaha..."

"Kushina-senpai, before you lie, at least pay attention to the details. What you have isn't a document, is it? Isn't that a picture of Minato-senpai?"

Kushina's pretty face flushed bright red, and she stammered, unable to speak, her toes digging into the ground as if she wanted to dig a hole.

She has a fiery and straightforward personality, and is jokingly called "the little chili pepper of the Whirlpool family," but her heart still pounds when people tease her about her love life to her face.

—The most thrilling moment of a secret relationship is when it's exposed and people start to suspect it!

The vast majority of men and women in the Naruto world are extremely loyal to love.

Hyuga Yuto shook his head inwardly and chuckled softly:

"Kushina-senpai, this is what our teacher asked me to bring you. I bought some dorayaki from the Senju clan's territory, all different flavors."

"Ah? Oh, thank you so much, Lady Tsunade and Yuuto-kun..."

After chatting with Kushina Uzumaki for a few more minutes, Minato wasn't there, and Yuto Hyuga wasn't very familiar with her, so he got up and took his leave.

After leaving Minato's residence and returning to his own room, Hyuga Yuto was about to lie down on the bed to think about how to deal with the [Moon Goddess Siege] when he was woken up by shouts from outside as soon as his back touched the mattress.

"Ugh... this is so troublesome." Hinata Yuto scratched his head in frustration, already imagining how busy the days ahead would be.

"Commander," a chunin reported from outside.

"Someone from Amegakure has arrived, requesting to see our leader. They won't leave until they see him. Lord Minato isn't here, so what do you think...?"

Amegakure? Hyuga Yuto's heart skipped a beat.

He agreed to the task, dressed himself properly, and followed his subordinates to a house on the edge of the camp.

The door opened, and a beautiful woman in a black stand-up collar trench coat turned around, a flower folded from white paper tucked into her purple hair, swaying gently with her movements.

It's Xiao Nan.
