My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 138 The Face Behind the Mask

After leaving the village, the Hyuga squad changed out of Konoha's standard green armor and into their clan's traditional white kimonos, quickly heading towards the Land of Rain.

Traveling with the Byakugan, Hyuga Yuto deliberately modified the size of the black rods, shortening them as much as possible and increasing the number of implants, so that even if the Byakugan happened to see them, they would be mistaken for decorations.

In fact, Hyuga Yuto knew that such worries and preparations were somewhat unnecessary. After activating his Byakugan, he could see through "life forms with chakra" without being passive; he needed to concentrate his chakra in that direction.

Within the Hyuga clan, using the Byakugan to see through the bodies of fellow clansmen is considered a provocative and impolite act, and given Hyuga Yuto's current status, very few would dare to do so.

They set off at four in the morning, and when dawn broke, they hadn't even reached the border of the Land of Fire. After all, it was winter, and the snow was deep, so even ninjas couldn't move at their normal speed.

Fear and excitement permeated the ranks; the Hinatas remained silent, releasing their emotions as they ran.

This is a risky undertaking. For the old and decaying Hyuga clan, only the young clan head, who is not yet thirty, can make such a move. In a few more years, Hiashi's passion will be worn down by the heavy workload and life, and he will no longer be able to take such a risk.

As time passed, the Land of Rain drew ever closer.

When they arrived at the edge of the Land of Fire, Hiashi Hyuga ordered his clansmen to stop and rest. After a short while, a man with his face covered by a hood emerged from the forest.

"Lord Hiashi," he said respectfully, handing over a scroll.

"This is a roadmap drawn up by the organization. It's all speculation, and it may not be entirely accurate, but it can at least serve as a reference."

"Hmm." Hiashi nodded slightly, and the hooded man left immediately without wasting a moment.

Hyuga Yuto observed all of this and swallowed a soldier's ration pill without making a sound.

The hooded man was a spy planted by the Hyuga clan in the exchange shop; he was a valuable pawn that only the clan leader and a few elders had the authority to contact.

The practice of casting disdain, which has persisted for thousands of years, has an influence that extends far beyond a single village or country.

After resting, Hyuga and his group set off again.

The familiar damp smell filled his nostrils, and Hyuga Yuto was back in the Land of Rain. The black rod embedded in his chest began to heat up.

A few hours ago, a coffin was buried somewhere in the Land of Rain by Mochizuki Ruri.

As disciples in name only, Ruri, Shisui, and Shinno all inscribed blood pacts on the spirit scroll in Shikkotsu Forest. The slug, as a "teleportation point" for the main body and the clone to exchange information and items, played an indispensable role.

Hyuga Yuto's chakra shot out along the black rod, and the coffin in the distance began to tremble. A moment later, the black-robed man wearing a Hannya mask lifted the coffin lid and stood up.

Multitasking, Hyuga Yuto followed his clansmen on their search while simultaneously controlling the corpse to run towards the central area of the Land of Rain, making it appear as if he were heading to Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

The Mask of God has been used up. Due to the "Byakugan Protection Policy" and the need to return to the village, it will be difficult for Hyuga Yuto to obtain the corpses of his clansmen again, so he cannot enter Mask Mode for the time being.

Fortunately, the Hyuga group definitely didn't want to fight. Judging from Luna's past formidable record, even if Hyuga and Hiashi joined forces, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"Clan leader!" Five minutes later, a Hinata ninja suddenly called out:

"I see the target... at two o'clock, about 1700 meters away!"

The Hinatas' breathing quickened, and they changed direction, moving rapidly in that direction.

"Put away all your ninja tools and remove your wrist guards. No one except me should activate their Byakugan. Slow down your approach speed..." Hiashi instructed.

This is a way of telling the moon goddess that we have come to talk to her, without any defense or resistance.

For proud and arrogant people, this is the most successful way to approach them.

Under Hyuga Yuto's control, the corpse stopped moving and instead leaned against the tree trunk with its arms crossed, waiting from above.

"He really stopped..."

Hiashi Hyuga gasped softly, suppressing both joy and fear.

The distance of less than two kilometers is practically within arm's reach for the elite members of the Hyuga clan.

With trepidation, Hyuga and his group approached the masked man.

Naturally, they did not disperse their encirclement. Instead, Hyuga Hiashi stood at the front, arranged in order of rank, with his head slightly bowed, showing full respect.

Hiashi let out a soft breath and said respectfully:

"The Hyuga clan greets Lady Tsukigami."

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak.

"Although Hyuga is a member of Konoha, he also possesses a certain degree of autonomy..."

Hiashi slowly explained, roughly meaning that he was separating Konoha and Hyuga, indicating that although Hyuga contributed a lot in the siege battle, it was under pressure from Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his original intention was not to oppose Tsukishima.

These words are well said, and the attitude is very humble. If the other party were really an arrogant and conceited person, they would probably make some sarcastic remarks without any politeness. But no matter what they say, as long as there is a response, Japan can shamelessly continue.

However, the person wearing the Prajna mask did not utter a word from beginning to end.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and many people had sweaty palms.

Hiashi Hyuga was also extremely nervous, afraid that he might say something that would upset the Moon Goddess. He was currently in a difficult situation, needing her help and being at a complete disadvantage in terms of strength.

But at that moment, Hiashi suddenly paused.

He had been keeping his head down, but when the Moon Goddess didn't reply, he looked up and noticed something was wrong after just one glance.

Compared to the night raid on Orochimaru's base, Tsukishima's height... has decreased significantly.

The wind was strong today, causing the black robe to flutter. When the robe touched the moon goddess's body, it outlined a captivating and graceful curve, seemingly the figure of a woman...

"Master, it's been a long time."

The mysterious person wearing the Hannya mask finally spoke, and the clear, melodious voice of a young girl reached everyone's ears, startling the Hyuga clan members so much that their scalps tingled.

She removed her mask, revealing a beautiful face.

——It’s Hinata Miko.

In an instant, all the little doubts that had been lingering in Hiashi's mind were fully explained.

Why was the Moon Goddess spotted this time?

Why doesn't he use that kind of ninjutsu that allows him to fly?

Why was he in such a good mood today, listening to me ramble on and on?

The answer is that simple.

Because the person wearing the Hannya mask is not the Moon Goddess!

Whether in terms of strength or intellect, Hyuga Yoshiko is far inferior to the real person, so it was only natural that she would slip up.

Hyuga Yoshiko didn't die, and she even came out wearing the Hannya mask, so there's no need to doubt her identity as the Moon Goddess...

The moon god is Shinji, and he is not so heartless as to sever all the bonds that make him human!

A huge weight was lifted off Hiashi Hyuga's shoulders.
