My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 168 The Day of Returning to the Village and the Nearly Completed Immortal Technique

"If everyone is cleared up, today's high-level meeting will conclude here..."

"Hokage-sama, excuse me, but I have something I'd like to say to Advisor Danzo." Hyuga Yuto raised his hand. Spring was in full bloom outside the window, and the handsome young man smiled brightly.

"Advisor Danzo, there seem to be some very bad rumors circulating in the village regarding Kushina-senpai... You hold a very important position in the Anbu, are you just going to let these rumors smear her like this?"

"Hyuga Yuto, watch your tone." Shimura Danzo said with a grim expression.

"Even the Hokage and the Anbu can't silence everyone, and to some extent, those rumors are true."

"What facts?" Hyuga Yuto scoffed.

"Is it the fact that you're pinning all the sins of the Nine-Tails on Kushina-senpai? Or is it the fact that you deliberately allowed the rumors to spread? I have reason to suspect that it might be you...?"

"Damn it!" Shimura Danzo could no longer bear it, smashing the chair beneath him and springing up to his feet.

"You're slandering the village's advisor! Hyuga Yuto, I suspect you're colluding with an enemy nation. After this meeting, you must go to the Anbu for interrogation..."

"Hey, don't wait until the meeting's over, I'm going with you right now, and I'll twist your head off while I'm at it!"

boom!

A loud crash echoed through the office, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, enraged, smashed his pipe in half.

"Every meeting is filled with arguments. Do you guys even respect me as the Hokage?"

"One says the frontline commander betrayed the village, and the other wants to twist the advisor's head off! If you really can't stand each other, go fight it out in the Valley of the End. It would be best if you both died, so you wouldn't have to bother me anymore!"

Danzo Shimura remained silent, his face ashen, while Yuto Hyuga apologized to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a look of shame.

The senior executives in the office kept their eyes down and were used to this kind of thing.

A month ago, Hyuga Yuto returned to Konoha from the Land of Rain and once again became an observer at the routine high-level meetings, repeatedly clashing with Shimura Danzo.

It's still the growing pain of the generational shift. Shimura Danzo wants to maintain his power, while Hyuga Yuto wants to intimidate the previous generation on behalf of Namikaze Minato. There will definitely be conflicts between the two. Most of the time, Sarutobi Hiruzen will just silently smoke his pipe, only speaking up to stop them when their words get too heated.

Seeing that Hyuga Yuto and Shimura Danzo had calmed down, the Hokage said gently:

"Even if everyone has the same idea of ​​protecting the village, everyone will act differently. We can't break ties with our comrades because of a momentary impulse."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I've learned a lot." Hyuga Yuto bowed respectfully, and when he looked up, he saw the blonde woman giving him a thumbs-up with a grin.

—The master and apprentice had long disliked Shimura Danzo. Every time Hyuga Yuto and Danzo clashed, Tsunade would prepare a delicious meal.

"...It seems no one has anything to say this time, so let's disperse."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the broken pipe with a pained expression and waved the crowd away.

After the high-ranking members left one after another, Hyuga Yuto and Tsunade walked back to the Senju clan's territory together.

The boy from the branch family rarely returns to Hyuga now, and Hiashi can't control him either; the two almost only meet at high-level meetings.

Hiashi Hyuga seems preoccupied lately. Even when he sees Yuto, he doesn't mention marriage or engagement. He's also absent-minded during meetings, which saves Yuto a lot of trouble.

Life in Konoha Village was indeed much more comfortable than on the battlefield. After lunch, Hyuga Yuto and Tsunade leisurely went to the back mountain to train. When the sun set and Tsunade returned to her residence, Yuto stayed behind alone under the pretext of extra training.

After confirming that no one was around, Hyuga Yuto used Reverse Summoning to arrive at Shikkotsu Forest.

On the flat stone platform, there was already a complete set of experimental instruments and medicine. Four of the main family's white eyes floated in the preservative solution, seemingly watching the branch family's youth.

Hyuga Yuto sat down on the ground and pulled out a barbed strap from somewhere on the stone platform, wrapping it around his neck.

After obtaining Hashirama Senju's cells, he extracted a certain liquid from them and applied it to his body, which allowed him to quickly sense natural energy. He carefully weighed each application to avoid being assimilated by the natural energy.

But this time, after taking off his clothes, Hyuga Yuto wiped his entire upper body.

A cool and refreshing sensation arose as a vast amount of natural energy surged into Hyuga Yuto's body under the powerful effect of Hashirama's cells.

The source of chakra synthesis—body, mind, and nature—suddenly changed. With the addition of natural energy, the chakra in the meridians and acupoints began to boil.

sieve--

Hyuga Yuto's skin suddenly became wet, oozing a sticky substance that dripped onto the ground like tar.

This is a sign of being assimilated by the natural energy of Shikkut Forest!

In the critical moment, the strap around his neck suddenly tightened, and the barbs inside hooked into Hyuga Yuto's flesh. In the pain, the natural energy in his body was instantly released from his pores.

His skin became smooth again, and the mucus dripped off, instantly vaporizing into pure natural energy and returning to the ninja world.

"Just a little bit more..." Hinata Yuto touched the strap around his neck, closed his eyes, and slowly savored the moment.

The key to Sage Mode is Sage Chakra. To condense this chakra, you need to perfectly balance the three energies of "spirit, body, and nature".

According to the Slug Fairy, the ratio of the three energies is approximately "334". However, since humans are different individuals with varying degrees of receptivity to natural energies, the golden ratio varies slightly from person to person.

Finding this golden ratio before being assimilated by natural energy is the most difficult part of cultivating immortal arts.

Fortunately, Hinata Yuto made this strap.

The raw materials for the straps were taken from the Fukasaku and Shima sages killed by Tachibana Yuuki.

Over the years, Yuto Hinata has accumulated extensive experience in extracting juice and gouging out eyes, making him a veritable "master of biotechnology." He can use various methods with ease, much like a mad scientist in a horror movie.

The main material of the strap is the tongues of two immortals. When it comes into contact with the skin, if it detects excessive natural energy, barbs will pop out and hook into the flesh, waking up Hyuga Yuto while also releasing natural energy. It is a very useful safety buckle.

With it, Hyuga Yuto can use Senju's cell solution without any worries.

By absorbing natural energy more quickly and experimenting more frequently, Hyuga Yuto's Sage Mode training is progressing faster and faster. Originally expected to be completed by the end of this year, he will be able to fully master Sage Mode in another month or two.

However, there is still a problem.

After the Slug Sage taught him Sage Mode, he didn't tell anyone, not even Tsunade. If Hyuga Yuuto were to suddenly use it one day, it could cause some trouble.

He and the Slug Fairy need to coordinate their statements first.

"Why not just pretend to be a genius who mastered immortal techniques in a short time..."

Thinking this, Hinata Yuto closed his eyes again.
