My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 143 The One-Eyed Transaction

The days passed by uneventfully.

In the second week after the New Year, when the weather was slightly warmer, Hinata Yuto accepted a mission.

Even though he is currently highly favored and is a sure thing to be "a member of the next generation of Konoha's leadership" and can attend high-level meetings, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities as a Konoha ninja.

Konoha is a top-tier violent organization in the world, with many rules and regulations, and it's not as carefree and sunny as depicted in the manga.

Even Tsunade has to meet the minimum attendance requirement at Konoha Hospital.

The mission that Hyuga Yuto accepted was simple: kill a rogue ninja who leaked information about the Land of Fire. With his strong individual combat power and Byakugan's search ability, it wasn't difficult, but it would take some time.

Without dawdling, he packed up his ninja tools and left the village.

After moving a certain distance, Hyuga Yuto changed direction and headed towards the Land of Rain. His Byakugan opened and closed at a certain frequency, and he carefully avoided any living people he encountered.

The day of the agreed-upon transaction with Hiashi was fast approaching, and Hyuga Yuto kept the time in mind, accepting a mission that allowed him to move freely ahead of time.

The risk of this step is not high. Only Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Yuto know about this corpse transaction, so there is no need to go to great lengths to conceal the purpose of leaving the village.

The next day, Hyuga Yuto entered the territory of the Land of Rain and used a reverse summoning technique to begin "coloring" Miko's corpse, wiping away the paleness of her skin and applying a faint blush that represented life.

As the sun rose again, Miko's body slowly rose under Hyuga Yuto's control, stood on a tree, and closed her eyes, seemingly dozing.

Hyuga Yuto went to a secluded spot two kilometers away to wait for Hiashi's arrival.

As expected, the head of the Hyuga clan appeared alone.

"She does have some courage," Hinata Yuto thought to himself, focusing his attention on Miko.

The girl opened her eyes and spoke softly:

"You've come to keep your appointment, Master."

"Yes." Hiashi nodded and took out a sealing scroll:

"Thirty bodies are here, all died within the last fifty years, and are well-preserved." He paused, staring intently into Miko's eyes:

"Does Shinji know about this?"

"certainly."

"What...did he say?"

"In the Hyuga clan, there are very few warriors like the patriarch... These are Shinji's exact words."

"A warrior, perhaps?" Hiashi savored the word in his heart.

Yes, I am the warrior, the one who led Hinata out of her predicament!

He tossed the scroll to the girl, still without discussing any conditions.

After examining the body, Miko stuffed it into her bosom in front of Hiashi:

"Master, we know what you want, and you will get what you desire."

Exchanging a corpse for the possibility of the next transaction—that's the bargaining chip both sides are paying today!

Suppressing his inner elation, Hiashi Hyuga's voice trembled slightly:

"So, what will be my price?"

"Only by giving up everything can you gain everything." Hyuga Yuto, controlling Miko's corpse, carefully spoke.

Thirty Chunin corpses can only make two God Masks, which is definitely not enough.

The battle at Kannabi Bridge takes place in the spring, when the possibility of a major battle is very high. Moreover, just creating the Uzumaki and Uchiha clones requires two copies, so naturally, the more God Masks the better.

He must lure Hiashi Hyuga and get him to willingly offer up his body.

We definitely have to give them a reward.

"Give it all..." Hiashi began with difficulty.

"So Shinji paid such a heavy price."

"Master, you've definitely gained more than you've lost. Now Shinji possesses those eyes, and I'm by his side. Is that not as good as what we did in Konoha?" Miko turned around and said softly.

"I will bring a gift again on the next transaction."

……

In the damp, icy forests of the Land of Rain, the girl's corpse sped along, with Hyuga Yuto lagging far behind, controlling the vehicle while pondering.

He planned to travel with Miko's body to the secret base in the Land of Rain, first to seal the girl away, then to extract the Hyuga remains, extract their juice, and make the Mask of God.

Judging from the cultivation cycle of the Mask, it was definitely impossible for him to be cultivated during the period when he was on the mission of "killing the traitor".

He needed to find another excuse to leave the village, and Hyuga Yuto rubbed his temples.

However, just as he was deep in thought, a sense of danger suddenly exploded in his heart, his nerves instantly tightened, and his chakra surged and roared through his meridians.

In the distance beyond the horizon, Hinata Yoshiko's corpse suddenly stopped.

Her white eyes flashed menacingly, and the girl's clear voice echoed deep within the dense forest:

"……who?"

Amidst the rustling sounds, a strange man emerged from the shadows of the tree.

He was tall, dressed in a gray robe, and wore a strange, impenetrable mask—the mask had a spiral pattern, revealing only the man's left eye.

That one eye was very dark.

After an extremely brief silence, the one-eyed masked man and Miko's corpse simultaneously sprang to life.

Manipulating the corpses of his own kind was something Hyuga Yuto was very adept at. Miko, as the daughter of the main family, had honed her Gentle Fist skills to perfection, and her meridians were extremely familiar with this way of circulating chakra.

Bang! Miko's corpse unleashed a punch, chakra blasting through the air with incredible speed, striking the man in the form of a palm.

——Eight Trigrams·Empty Palm!

A genius of Yuto's caliber could even comprehend the Rejuvenation Technique on his own, so he must have known the techniques of the Empty Palm Technique long ago.

The man remained silent, nimbly leaping to dodge. Miko's corpse flung out a kunai, and he followed the kunai, lunging forward.

His attempt to gain leverage failed, and the man dodged it, but as he changed direction in mid-air, he was unable to use it again.

The man and the girl collided. Hyuga Yuto took a deep breath and unleashed his Gentle Fist, a technique he knew to the extreme.

bang bang bang bang...

Gentle Fist, a renowned secret close-combat technique, excels in close-quarters combat. As the Hyuga clan's signature skill, a single Gentle Fist routine can severely injure even a physically strong taijutsu-type ninja.

However, the man actually kept up with Hyuga Miko's speed completely, and was able to move with ease. He always struck first after being behind, and his fingers, fists and palms kept exchanging blows, completely suppressing the Gentle Fist.

Even in a fleeting moment, the man reached out, bypassing the soft fist's defense, and grabbed the girl's collar.

"Return to Heaven!" Miko's body spun rapidly, bouncing the man away.

As the one-eyed masked man gracefully descended, Hyuga Yuto's brows furrowed tightly.

That's a pretty good guy... I'm afraid I'm no match for him based on his soft fist techniques alone.

Moreover, his reaction was too fast... The opening just now only existed for a fraction of a second, but he was able to seize it in time.

How could he see such a fast movement clearly?

When the man looked up again, Hyuga Yuto's thoughts froze for a moment.

Many questions were answered in that instant.

The exposed single eye had turned crimson at some point, and within its chilling, indifferent gaze, three tomoe slowly rotated.
