My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 155 Heading To

Hinata Yuto opened his mouth and spat out the fine needle that had been pressed under his tongue. This habit had been ingrained in his body for many years.

He shook his sleepy head and opened the window.

The eastern sky was already beginning to lighten, and cool dewdrops slid down the window frame, dripping onto the back of the boy's hand.

The night is over.

Hyuga Yuto stepped out of his room, leaned against the railing of the corridor, and gazed at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

In the early spring morning, even the air was filled with a slight chill, but the ninja world was a very suitable place for plants to grow. Even though winter had only just ended, the trees were already lush and green.

Cold weather is good for the body, so Hyuga Yuto let the cold wind blow against his skin to quickly wake up his body and nerves after a good night's sleep.

squeak...

The door next door was pushed open, and Tsunade came out wearing an indigo robe. Even though she had just woken up, her hair was smooth and not frizzy at all, and she even tied it up and inserted a jade hairpin.

—I don’t know when it started, but Tsunade began to consciously maintain a good image in front of her students, and she always looked beautiful every time they met.

"Yuto, you're awake so early?"

"Yes, I'm going to train in the back mountain in a bit," Hyuga Yuto said with a smile.

"If you don't practice for a day, your body will rust."

"But you still need to make sure you get enough rest." Tsunade tossed over a gourd.

"Have some drinks to warm yourself up."

"Is this wine?"

"If I don't drink it for a day, my body will crave it."

"Haha..." Hyuga Yuto chuckled, gulped down a mouthful, and handed the gourd of sake to the blonde woman.

The master and apprentice took turns sipping their drinks, leaning against the railing, enjoying a quiet drink on a crisp spring morning.

"No, teacher, drinking like this is a bit boring."

"You mean...?"

"Let's get some snacks to go with the drinks."

"Why aren't the restaurants open so early in the morning?" Tsunade said with a frown. Suddenly, she noticed that her disciple was staring at her earlobe. Judging from his grinning face, if she gave him a little kindness, he would definitely pounce on her and fondle it at will.

"...You little brat, if you want to swim in the pond, I can throw you in."

"Teacher, why are you being so violent? There should be harmony between teacher and student." Hyuga Yuto stroked his chin, then his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Is Shizune still asleep? How about we wake her up? We can bang a gong or something, and enjoy her expression; she'll definitely drink a whole gourd of wine."

"Are you a devil?" The blonde woman glared at him.

"Ringing a gong? What if it damages her eardrums? Let's catch some bugs and put them in her bed, that would be quiet and perfect for drinking..."

The master and apprentice were discussing something in a cheeky manner, and before they could reach an agreement, a secret agent suddenly descended from the sky and knelt in the courtyard.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Tamashi, the Hokage requests your presence at the Hokage Building immediately."

Hyuga Yuto understood immediately; their urgency meant the Battle of Kannabi Bridge had broken out.

Without dawdling, the two donned the green armor standard of Konoha and quickly arrived at the Hokage's office.

"That Onoki guy is determined to take over Kusagakure." Hiruzen Sarutobi said as soon as he entered:

"Yesterday, Minato led a large army to the front lines. This will definitely lead to a large-scale war. Although Jiraiya is in the Land of Rain, just in case, Yuto, you should go to the front lines."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Hyuga Yuto accepted the order.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then looked at the blonde woman:

"You've been too idle lately... Starting today, you'll be doing the same as Yuto, sitting in on high-level meetings."

"Huh? Old man, I've been watching you two argue since I was a kid, sitting on my grandpa's lap. I understand all the ins and outs, so there's no need to waste your time, is there?"

"You understand? Okay, let me ask you, how many Uchiha clan members died in this war? What did we promise Fugaku to compensate for the Uchiha clan's sacrifice? Who are the Mizukage candidates from Kirigakure? Our Fire Country Daimyo is about to visit Konoha, do you know what his ulterior motives are?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, puffing out his beard and glaring, rattled off a whole bunch of things, while Tsunade stammered and couldn't answer a single one.

"Tsunade, I won't be in the Hokage position for much longer. You'll soon be an advisor elder, so you'll have to take on the responsibility..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed getting old. He rambled on and on for a long time, and only when he finally remembered that Yuto Hyuga still had a mission to complete did he wave his hand to let the master and apprentice leave.

"Oh, right, Yuto." As he left, the Third Hokage added, frowning.

"The ANBU at the front told me that Jiraiya led several thousand men to attack Amegakure last night, but the village hasn't been informed of the specific results yet. Could you ask him what's going on and write me a report?"

An attack on Amegakure? Hyuga Yuto was taken aback. He bowed and walked out of the office with Tsunade.

He made up an excuse to come to the back mountain and used reverse psychic abilities.

In a secluded corner of Shikkotsu Forest, Hyuga Yuto moved a stone, revealing a scroll inside.

This place was his and Mochizuki Ruri's regular information exchange point. With the Shikkotsu Forest, they could transmit items and messages across distances.

There are two scrolls in total, and inside are still a few lines of text written in Chinese pinyin.

The first scroll reads: "The powder made from the black rod has been put into Obito Uchiha's eye drops. He seems to have dry eye syndrome. Within a day, this powder will cover his body. Before it is completely metabolized, you can easily pinpoint Obito's location."

The second scroll reads: "Iwagakure is attacking Kusagakure. The three of us have been assigned to the expeditionary force. It seems the Battle of Kannabi Bridge is about to break out. Be careful. Oh, by the way, I'm not in the Land of Rain, so I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver the message sent by Tachibana Yuugi in time."

"A model clone indeed," Hyuga Yuto thought to himself, as he carried the large rock back and burned two scrolls.

Although he had some doubts, he didn't take Jiraiya's attack on Amegakure seriously.

Given Nagato's hostile attitude towards the surrounding ninja villages and his extremely threatening Rinnegan, it was only a matter of time before he was beaten up. However, without a Tailed Beast as a powerful chakra weapon, Amegakure would be difficult to conquer.

"However, this time when I go to the front lines, I need to find an opportunity to talk to Nagato about the diplomatic stance. Just be accommodating; how can we survive between three major powers without some political wisdom..."

With these thoughts in mind, Hinata Yuto left the Shikkotsu Forest.

Tsunade checked his armor and wristbands again. Shizune had already gotten up and, still sleepy, went to the kitchen to prepare several bento boxes for him. After stuffing them into the sealing scroll, Hyuga Yuto said goodbye to his teacher and Shizune and left the village.

This mission was a solo support mission, intended to prevent attacks from powerful figures on the front lines. Therefore, he had no subordinates with him and Hyuga Yuto traveled light, leaving Konoha alone.
