My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 119 Moon Goddess's Siege - First Song

It was very painful at first to have a black rod implanted in my body.

Even as the creator, Hyuga Yuto is affected by the Yin-Yang Release power within the black rod, causing his chakra to become uncontrollable.

It took him a while to learn how to direct the flowing chakra away from the black rods.

After that, Hyuga Yuto transplanted the two Byakugan back into Hyuga Shinji's eye sockets, and buried more than a dozen black rods into his corpse, trying to manipulate the corpse to make various movements.

Thanks to his training in medical ninjutsu, Hyuga Yuto's chakra control is extremely refined, making the manipulation of corpses exceptionally easy for him.

After finishing these tasks, Hyuga Yuto returned to the main camp.

Over the next few days, he would occasionally go to the secret base to practice controlling the information system, and spend the rest of his time on official duties and cultivation, acting as a dutiful and excellent deputy commander on the surface.

A storm is brewing, and no one knows the final outcome, but both sides are absolutely confident that they will be the ones to have the last laugh.

"Yuto." After a routine frontline high-level meeting, Minato Namikaze called out to the branch family youth:

"You stay here, everyone else, go out."

Knowing that this moment had finally arrived, Hinata Yuto nodded slightly and sat calmly in place.

After confirming that no one could hear their conversation, Minato Namikaze said seriously:

"Yuto, you should know that the village plans to kill the Moon God in the Land of Rain. He is an extremely dangerous person who has attacked the village twice. He must be eliminated."

"If the village needs my strength, I am ready to fight at any time."

"Okay, but don't be nervous, Yuto." Minato Namikaze suddenly laughed:

"Leave the Moon Goddess to us. You don't need to lift a finger; just go through the motions. Young people like you are the future of the village."

There's no need to take action.

Hinata Yuto pondered these words in his mind.

In other words, as a jade lion, he was not worthy of being the main fighting force in the siege of the moon goddess.

What a grand gesture... Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Please give the order, Commander." Hyuga Yuto shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

"What does the village need me to do?"

"Here you go." Minato Namikaze handed him a scroll:

"You will return to the village, and under the guise of 'escorting VIPs,' you will once again depart from the village and arrive in the Land of Rain."

"Key personnel, i.e., [bait]".

"Four days ago, a captain of the village's ANBU betrayed the Hokage. The intelligence he possessed was also discovered by the enemy country and the underworld. The so-called important person was actually something with super power. The village planned to transport it to the Land of Rain to deal with Sunagakure and Iwagakure... As of now, the village is still unaware of the traitorous ANBU captain."

"Of course, in reality, none of the Dark Guard commanders betrayed us; this intelligence was deliberately leaked."

"You will act according to this false intelligence, return to the village, and be escorted."

Hyuga Yuto glanced at the scroll; the contents were completely different from what Namikaze Minato had said—it was just an S-rank mission to escort a key figure.

It seems that the real missions are all relayed verbally, kept extremely secret.

The boy who had separated from his family asked curiously:

"What exactly is this so-called 'VIP'? Since they're being used as 'bait' to lure the Moon Goddess, could it be related to bloodline limits?"

"Hmm." Minato Namikaze spoke softly:

"That's Madara Uchiha's right eye."

"If I were the moon goddess, I would definitely come and snatch it upon hearing this news... But is it really true?"

"It's fake. There's no Madara Uchiha body in the village at all, but the Hokage and the others created a ninja tool with Uchiha eye power and chakra. It can fool them, so even if it gets stolen, it's fine." Minato Namikaze paused, then suddenly became a little hesitant:

"Actually, there are two baits: one is a fake spotted eye, and the other is a living person hidden in the group, who also belongs to the escorts."

Hyuga Yuto sighed:

"If the Moon Goddess is Master Shinji... then the living bait must be Miss Miko."

"Your guess is absolutely correct."

Minato Namikaze patted him on the shoulder:

"There are thirty-two ninjas in the escort team. Only you know the whole story. Hyuga Yoshiko only knows part of the facts."

Hyuga Yuto perfectly displayed his astonishment:

"But... what if the Moon Goddess attacks before we reach the ambush zone? To avoid alerting her, the powerful combat force participating in the encirclement and kill operation probably won't accompany the escort team, right?"

"It's alright, Yuto-kun," Minato Namikaze reassured him, handing Yuto Hyuga a kunai.

"That leaked false information was quite well done. It only marked the handover point after you entered the Land of Rain, and in case of any unexpected situation, I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get here."

Hyuga Yuto nodded, knowing that the village had already made all the arrangements.

He chatted with Minato Namikaze for a few more minutes, but out of caution, he didn't ask "who the main fighting force was in the siege of the Moon Goddess." Instead, after a normal handover of official duties, he swaggered out of the camp and headed straight for Konoha.

On the way, Hyuga Yuto released a summoning beast specifically used to communicate with Uzumaki Nagato, wrote a few words on the scroll, and then sent it to Nagato's side.

He then hurried on his way and did not return to the village until evening.

Only Shizune remains in the Senju clan's territory; Tsunade is no longer with them.

With mixed feelings, Hyuga Yuto packed his ninja tools and headed to the Hokage Building to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The two tacitly avoided discussing the Moon Goddess, treating it merely as a regular S-rank escort mission.

The departure was scheduled for the next day. Hyuga Yuto returned to the Senju clan's territory to recuperate and prepare, and nothing happened that night.

The next day, as dawn broke, Hyuga Yuto arrived at the village entrance.

As the morning sun shone, he looked back at the Hokage Building, wondering if Hiruzen Sarutobi was still inside.

After a while, the escort team assembled.

The combat force configuration for a fairly standard S-rank escort mission includes two newly promoted Jonin in addition to Hyuga Yuto. Half of the thirty-two ninjas are sensory and medical types.

Hyuga Yoshiko was among them, and she was accompanied by members of the branch family's assassins.

In the center of the procession was a luxurious vehicle being pulled by horses, with thick curtains obscuring the windows and making it impossible to see inside.

—"The team is probably protecting a high-ranking official from the Land of Fire, and is sending him out to conduct diplomatic exchanges with other countries."

Outsiders would only think that way when they see Hyuga Yuto and the others.

"I am Hyuga Yuto, and I am the captain of this escort team..."

The teenagers who separated from their family began their routine mobilization.

Finally, he went to the window curtain, gently lifted a corner, and respectfully asked:

"My lord, shall we depart now? Hmm... Yes, my lord."

After the performance, Hyuga Yuto straightened his back:

"The master said that according to the time we set, so..."

"Let's go!"
