My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 150 King of the World

"I... walked here." Before Hyuga Yuto could speak, the old man said to himself:

"I was born forty years before Konoha was founded, about ten years older than Hashirama and Madara."

"Now that I think about it, the old man is already ninety."

"Chakra can give ninjas power, but it cannot make us live longer. Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths could not escape the fate of death."

"The old man is a remnant of the Warring States period. He started killing people with a kunai when he was five years old. From then until the founding of Konoha fifty years ago, he spent every day in killing."

Ryusuke Hyuga, the Tennin, lifted his clothes, revealing withered, wrinkled skin covered in shocking scars.

"Every bone, every piece of skin, and every muscle in the old man's body has been ravaged by the enemy."

"Logically speaking, after years of fighting and being nearly a hundred years old, even if he were barely alive, he should be lying motionless in a grave, right?"

"However, the old man still emerged from that grave, not only after a long journey, but also after a fierce fight with you, young man."

"This is not something someone my age can do. Even Hashirama and Madara, in their old age, still had to eke out a living in bed."

"Furthermore, I do not possess any secret techniques for preserving youth or delaying aging."

"I grow old naturally amidst pain and the passage of time, and in fact, I am infinitely close to death."

"At this time last month, my cells were completely drained of chakra."

"However……"

The old man sighed softly and said, word by word:

"The instant the thought of [killing that rebellious branch family member] appeared in my mind, my eye power and chakra returned to my body."

Hyuga Yuto stood frozen in place, and perhaps because of the yellow sand, he felt his legs go weak.

He began to understand what the old man meant.

"Judging from your expression, you seem to know what I'm about to say... Ninth Brother's descendant, what a clever child." Tianren patted the person beside him and said softly:

"Come sit here. This old man can hold on for a few more minutes. If he can talk to the younger generation about this world before he dies, he will be worthy of the name of Tianren."

Hinata Yuto silently sat down next to the old man, with sand swirling in the wind beneath him and a brilliant starry sky above.

The starlight shone on him, but Hyuga Yuto felt a chill run through his body.

"It seems you truly understand what I meant." The old man continued, his expression complex.

"That's right."

"The moment I decided to be your enemy, the world stood by my side."

"Stones, grass, snow, mountains, animals, humans... everything you see, hear, and touch possesses chakra; the only difference is the amount and whether you can use it."

"Chakra... chakra."

"Because I've lived a long time, I know many strange truths, such as the fact that the Tailed Beasts, which are aggregates of enormous chakra, also have joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment; and that some extremely powerful humans can even reincarnate their chakra, going through countless lifetimes."

"I've always thought that the ninja world being filled with chakra is actually no different from [chakra possessing the ninja world]."

"Chakra can be reincarnated, it can experience anger and joy... Therefore, it is obvious that the laws governing the development of all things are closely related to chakra, and it is absolutely, absolutely impossible for it to be completely objective!"

"The end of the world may be predetermined the moment chakra appears."

"People rejoiced at having built a powerful nation and a ninja village, believing they had created their own destiny, but in reality, it was all just the inevitable result of [the king's will]."

"And the king of this world is named Chakra!"

"Becoming a rogue ninja for your clan and village isn't so bad; I've seen plenty of that. But if you don't live according to [the King's] script... Ninth Prince's descendant, do you know what you'll face?"

Hyuga Yuto stared blankly at the starry sky. The night sky of the ninja world was sparkling with stars, like diamonds and jade inlaid on an endless black curtain.

However, at this moment, he felt that the starlight was full of malice.

Hyuga Yuto knew very well that the old man was absolutely right.

As a time traveler, he had read the original work and knew that the final outcome of the ninja world was "Naruto and Sasuke's battle against Kaguya Otsutsuki".

Or in other words, it is "the chakra of Indra and Ashura reincarnation combined to seal Kaguya's chakra!"

The ultimate fate of the ninja world is actually a battle over chakra.

But in this pre-written script, a caged bird suddenly jumps out.

The Caged Bird Seal is the most stubborn curse in the ninja world, haunting the victim for life, and even resurrection through Edo Tensei cannot remove it.

To completely eradicate it, one must possess the power of a sage, whether it be the eyes of a sage or the body of a sage, to solve the problem of the caged bird.

However, the amount of chakra in the ninja world is "fixed".

Over the course of a thousand years, there may have been many who became immortals, but they were all just reincarnations of Ashura and Indra's chakra, just different names for the same thing. If you include Hamura and Hagoromo, all you can count is the Otsutsuki family.

The caged bird's desire to become an immortal and gain freedom will inevitably change the ultimate fate of this world.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Even if the chakra, as the "King of the World," does not have a true personality, it will instinctively prevent such "rebellion" from happening.

Ryusuke Hinata's body has been revitalized, and this is the world's counterattack!

"Descendant of the Ninth Family, what exactly are you trying to do? To provoke such outrage in the world." The old man sighed softly.

"Whatever your thoughts, just stop."

"Ninjas are weapons, possessing power beyond that of ordinary people, but ultimately, our opponents have always been human beings."

"Going against the world, can you still be called a ninja?"

"Keep your head down, it's not shameful."

"I think that even the Sage of Six Paths was, in a sense, a slave to chakra."

Hyuga Yuto grabbed a handful of sand and let it slip through his fingers.

The yellow sand will fall, the trees will wither, and the birds will rot in the soil. The predetermined trajectory of this world is the chakra struggle between Ashura, Indra, and Kaguya.

It appears lively, but in reality it's like a stagnant pool.

A thousand years ago, the Divine Tree descended into the world, and chakra spread throughout the world. Wars broke out more and more frequently, and the death toll far exceeded that before the appearance of chakra.

For such a long time, a full ten centuries, not a single clever person thought that "chakra is a precious energy source that can be used to improve productivity and benefit the world."

Is this a result of human nature's inherent flaws, or a result of chakra guiding us in the dark?

All life is born, ages, gets sick, and dies within a predetermined trajectory.

The so-called ninja world is just a giant prison.

"Thank you." Hyuga Yuto spoke, uttering his first words:

"What you just said was very helpful to me. Perhaps in the future, more and more people will stand against me, but no matter what comes my way, nothing can stop me."

The night breeze ruffled his hair, and the boy suddenly laughed, his eyes pure, like a sweet spring.

"I am not anyone's slave."
