My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 177 The Millennium Clan History: The Corpse Treasury

Hyuga Hizashi took out a soldier's ration pill, swallowed it with water, and looked up at the distant mountain peaks.

It is about 300 meters high, with a slender waist and wide ends, resembling a gourd. Waterfalls flow in the mountain streams, like ribbons tied to the gourd.

It is exactly the same as the drawing on the scroll.

This is it...

Hyuga Hizashi let out a sigh of relief, then used his strength to patiently crush every fiber of the scroll. After the scroll was completely destroyed, he picked up some of the hard remnants and pieced them together according to the method taught by Hiashi, and surprisingly, they formed a key.

The Byakugan Tomb is an absolute forbidden zone for the Hyuga clan. Only the clan head, the grave keeper, and the hidden elder know its exact location, making the secrecy measures extremely thorough.

The entrance to the tomb is entirely made of mechanisms, and the chakra seals are located deep underground, making it difficult for ninjas to detect. Moreover, this is a remote place, far from the main roads, so ordinary people wouldn't bother to approach it.

Hyuga Hizashi left the village, traversing mountains and valleys, crawling through caves and entering rivers, winding his way through the area. Ninjas with the Byakugan are already difficult to track, and this branch family head, who was not yet thirty years old, believed that with such caution, there would be no "tail" following him.

He rested for a while, then continued on his way.

In less than an hour, Richa arrived at the foot of Hulu Mountain and stood under a giant tree.

"This is the burial ground of countless Hyuga ancestors..." Hizashi pressed the key into the mechanism, and the entrance slowly opened, revealing a deep darkness.

The final resting place of my ancestors... and also the grave of Hyuga Hizashi.

As Hizashi thought to himself, even a ninja with such a strong will couldn't help but feel saddened.

With lingering affection and reluctance for his wife and children, Hyuga Hizashi turned back, intending to take one last look at the infinitely bright outside world.

However, this time looking back made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Under a large tree behind him, a young man appeared. He was handsome and dashing, with pure white and gentle eyes. His right arm was wrapped in a black bandage, and he seemed to be smiling at him.

Hinata Yuto has been... following behind me.

The moment the thought arose, a lion's roar resounded.

"Return..." Hizashi was terrified and exerted all his strength, about to use the defensive technique that the Hyuga clan was so proud of.

"Bite!" However, before Hizashi's chakra could spin at high speed, Hyuga Yuto suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yuto Hyuga is a master of Gentle Fist and knows best where the weakness of the Rotation Technique lies.

He stomped heavily, his foot, carrying superhuman strength, landing on Hizashi's calf. With a crack, Hizashi's leg and the rock beneath him shattered together.

At the same time, the hand encasing the lion's teeth pierced through Hizashi's abdomen, and Yuto twisted it violently, shattering the branch family head's spine.

One side was about to enter the grave and spend the rest of their lives there, while the other had been plotting behind the scenes for a long time. Their attention was not on the same level at all. The battle started in an instant and ended in an instant.

Hyuga Yuto pulled his hand away, shook off the blood, and asked curiously:

"Master, you've been going around in circles like this, I thought you'd noticed my presence... Going to such lengths to shake off any potential pursuers, this place must be very important, right?"

Hyuga Hizashi leaned against the edge of the cave entrance, his eyes lifeless, blood spurting from his mouth, unable to speak.

With his spine twisted and his abdomen pierced, Hyuga is not like the Uzumaki or the Senju; he doesn't possess that kind of abnormal vitality.

Watching Hizashi's breathing gradually weaken, Hyuga Yuto shook his head, casually shattered the branch family head's heart with a single blow, and then entered the cave alone.

The cave is quiet and dark, pointing downwards at a fixed angle, leading directly to the ground, but it is not damp or musty, which shows that a lot of effort and labor was spent to build it.

Hinata Yuto, skilled and daring, with his Byakugan activated, strolled deeper and deeper into the area as if taking a leisurely walk.

At a depth of about 700 meters below the surface, wooden reliefs began to appear on the rock walls of the underground passage. In Byakugan's vision, these wooden reliefs emanated a peculiar chakra, clearly protected from the corrosion of the air by inscribed secret techniques.

The first relief features two hands clasped together. One wrist has a leaf pattern, while the other is decorated with a magatama. Below the hands are eyes without pupils, yet they are inscribed with symbols representing the sky.

Hyuga Yuto tilted his head and looked at it, knowing that the story depicted in the relief was most likely "The Establishment of Konoha". The eye without a pupil should be a veiled reference to the Tennin, Hyuga Ryusuke.

The second relief depicts a burning sea of ​​fire, with countless pupil-less eyes struggling in the flames. It is worth mentioning that the craftsman who created this relief was a master with a great imagination. Countless arms extend from the pupil-less white eyes, their shapes twisted, tragic and magnificent, as if they were in hell.

This happened thirty-five years before the founding of Konoha. The fierce battle known as the "Kanohara Rebellion" breached the gates of the Hyuga clan, severely damaging them. Hyuga Ryusuke's father also died that night.

Hyuga Yuto had only vaguely read about this battle in books, and the clan elders hadn't explained it in detail during their lessons.

He glanced at it a few times and then continued walking downstairs.

One relief after another appeared before Hinata Yuto, and the deeper he went, the older the sculptures became.

Starting with the fourth relief, Hyuga Yuto had no idea what kind of history was depicted on it. This was a common problem in the teaching of Konoha and the major clans. They only talked about things after the first year of Konoha in detail, while the history before that was simply glossed over and never explored in depth.

Of course, even without knowing the history and specific dates behind it, Hyuga Yuto can still understand some of the stories.

The young member of the branch family stood for a long time in front of the twentieth relief after "The Establishment of Konoha".

This relief features only two complete designs: a tall human figure and a caged bird's seal symbol. The craftsman piled up a large number of messy and crazy lines in front of the human figure, the force penetrating the wood fibers, piercing the relief, and imprinting it on the rock wall behind it.

—This is how the caged bird began.

Hinata Yuto's hand traced the chaotic, angry lines, and it took him a long time to recover before he continued exploring forward.

After a long period of darkness, he finally reached the end.

The last relief depicts a giant tree.

Countless tiny humanoid figures knelt in worship around the giant tree, whose branches bore many strangely shaped fruits, magatama, pupil-less eyes, bones...

This relief tells the story of the origin of chakra, which is equivalent to a "creation myth" for ninjas. However, apart from Hyuga Yuto, the time traveler, and the Otsutsuki family, no one else knows the true meaning of this relief.

Even without knowing their meaning, the Hyuga clan still preserved these reliefs in the Byakugan Tomb. The heritage of this thousand-year-old ninja clan is not limited to Gentle Fist and Byakugan.

Hyuga Yuto took a deep breath, walked through the relief corridor, and entered the final stop of the underground world.

This is a hemispherical "grotto" with countless openings in the rock wall. Each opening is of standard length and they are densely packed together, like eyes staring at Hyuga Yuto in the darkness.

The boy's fingers trembled slightly, but it wasn't out of fear; rather, it was an overwhelming joy!

In Byakugan's vision, the things inside those caves were clearly visible; countless Hyuga corpses lay in coffins within the caves, most of them well-preserved.

"What incredible luck..." Hyuga Yuto took a deep breath.

His original plan was to capture Hizashi, turn him into a puppet, and then use him to deceive Hiashi in order to obtain more corpses of his own kind. However, he did not expect that the harvest of this trip would be much greater than he had imagined. He actually found the tomb where the Hyuga corpses were stored!

Roughly estimated, there are at least tens of thousands of corpses here. If they were all made into masks, they would be taller than Hyuga Yuto when stacked up!

This is definitely a profitable deal.
