My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 179 Konoha Year 51, The Embryo of Ashura

"When did you buy this?" Tsunade picked up a fluffy arm sleeve:

"The workmanship is very good, and the little turtle on it is so cute."

"It was a gift from someone else, teacher, don't you remember? It was from my subordinate, Hyuga Shio, who's quite skilled with ninja swords..."

"Oh." The blonde woman put the furry sleeves back in their place.

"Hey? Teacher, why are you putting it on the ground?"

"I'm just clumsy." Tsunade said expressionlessly.

"After all, I don't even know how to use a ninja sword."

"Hahaha..." Hyuga Yuto laughed so hard he almost fell over, handing the arm sleeve to Tsunade:

"Just kidding, teacher. I knitted it myself, and I'm giving it to you."

After saying that, he picked up the shovel standing in the corner and began shoveling snow, stroke by stroke.

It was February, and Konoha was covered in silvery white. The snow reflected the moonlight, which was quite dazzling and made Hyuga Yuto's eyes sting. More than eighty days ago, his right eye was transplanted here. At first, everything was normal, but after the first erosion, it became somewhat fragile.

Once the pain subsided and the snow in the yard was almost completely cleared, Hyuga Yuto turned around and saw the blonde woman flicking the little turtle's head.

"Let's go, teacher."

"Mmm." Tsunade smiled and folded the sleeves neatly, placing them on the top of the wardrobe. Then she took out a burgundy coat and put it on.

Hyuga Yuto and Tsunade locked the gates of the Senju clan compound and walked along the street, stepping on the snow, towards the central area of ​​Konoha.

The closer he got to his destination, the greater the density of chakra became. Hyuga Yuto's gaze swept across street corners and alleyways. Although he didn't see anyone, he knew that these places must be guarded by ANBU.

Finally, the master and apprentice arrived at the residence of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, a cozy two-story house.

"Oh, it's Yuto and Lady Tsunade, please come in." Kushina, whose hair was half white and half red, pushed open the door and welcomed Yuto and Tsunade in.

Minato Namikaze poked his head out of the kitchen, holding a rice paddle:

"Please sit down, Yuto. I've prepared some fried fish fillets that you like, Lady Tsunade. The sake bottle on the table is for you; I just brought it from Mount Myōboku this morning."

The blonde woman sank into the sofa and couldn't help but say:

"Jiraiya is incredibly lucky to have trained such a perfect student as you."

"Yuto is excellent too." Minato's cheerful voice came from the kitchen:

"He's the only young man in the village who puts pressure on me."

"Hahaha, Minato, you've become quite the smooth talker since becoming Hokage... Eh? Kushina, you sit down, let Yuto handle the tea."

Hyuga Yuto obediently stood up and took the tea set and hot water from Uzumaki Kushina's hands:

"Kushina-senpai, although the possibility of miscarriage is very small for a female ninja, the Nine-Tails' chakra rampage a year ago depleted your life force too much. It would be best for you to rest more at this time."

Tsunade pulled Kushina down to sit, tenderly stroking her half-red, half-white hair.

Hyuga Yuto skillfully poured tea into the teapot, his gaze occasionally drifting over Kushina's flat stomach, but he would casually look away the next second, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Just like in the original story, Kushina became pregnant at the beginning of Konoha year 51.

The child growing inside her is none other than the legendary child of prophecy, the Seventh Hokage, and the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra—Naruto Uzumaki!

However, unlike the original story, Kushina Uzumaki's pregnancy was common knowledge in Konoha.

A year ago, Madara Uchiha activated the power of the Nine-Tails' eye, causing Kushina, who was a Jinchuriki, to go berserk. In the instant she was half-tailed beast transformed, she killed or seriously injured several hundred Konoha ninjas.

This incident caused a huge uproar. Killing a comrade has always been abhorrent to all the major ninja villages, but Kushina Uzumaki was, after all, the wife of the Fourth Hokage, and according to the Yamanaka clan's assessment, she did lose consciousness when the tailed beast's chakra went berserk. Through constant reassurance and explanation, the calls to "expel Kushina Uzumaki from the village" gradually disappeared.

However, after this incident, Kushina's information as "the wife of the Hokage and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails" was completely exposed, and no amount of efforts to suppress the news could stop it. Because it was so eye-catching, the villagers also learned about her pregnancy.

Concerned for his wife's safety, Minato Namikaze dispatched a large number of ninjas to protect her. The Anbu contributed the most, with five squad leaders taking turns on duty. Judging from this, the guard force will definitely be increased to another level on the day of her delivery, nine months from now.

Logically, with Minato Namikaze and the Anbu there, Kushina's delivery should have been foolproof. Unfortunately... Obito, with his Kamui, always manages to do the impossible.

After pouring the tea, Hyuga Yuto nestled on the sofa, lost in thought, listening to Tsunade and Kushina's whispers beside him, and pretending to doze off with his eyes closed.

"Lady Tsunade, why don't you find someone?"

"I'm over thirty, I'm practically buried up to my waist, I don't want to find a partner."

"Hey? But your skin is super smooth and super white, without a single wrinkle, and your hair is long and beautiful. You look younger than me... The only thing that's bigger than me is that part, hehe."

Hinata Yuto, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, smirked. If he were anywhere else, he would definitely be oblivious to the danger and secretly pinch the blonde woman.

However, in front of Kushina Uzumaki, Yuto and Tsunade tacitly kept their distance, acting like a traditional master and disciple, as serious as could be.

Kushina, being a married woman, was well-versed in such matters and easily sensed the ambiguous atmosphere of mutual attraction in the air.

If they were in the Senju clan's territory, Hyuga Yuto and Tsunade wouldn't have any worries. After all, Shizune definitely wouldn't be able to see anything. She's just a fifteen-year-old girl, silly and clueless, walking around with her little pig all day. What does she know?

……

The master and apprentice had dinner at Minato Namikaze's house and stayed there for quite a while, not leaving until around 10 p.m.

Hyuga Yuto and Tsunade strolled back slowly and saw Shizune carrying things inside the Senju clan's territory at the main gate.

"Lady Tsunade, Yuto, where did you go?" The girl pouted, somewhat unhappy.

"I'm even thinking of posting a missing person notice at the mission office."

"Oh dear, Shizune, being petty isn't good for a girl's development~" Tsunade nonchalantly brushed away her student's mischievous hand and stepped forward to examine the pile of things:

"From the Hyuga family?"

"Hmm, it was delivered by a girl named Hinata Shio. She said it was on behalf of her family and the Hiashi clan head... By the way, Yuto, are you two close?"

"Hyuga Shio?" Hyuga Yuto casually gave the standard answer:

"One of my subordinates, not to the point of being an acquaintance, but certainly not someone to speak of, I don't have a deep impression of her."

"Really?" Shizune frowned, took a small gadget out of her pocket, and handed it to Yuuto:

"She even made you a sachet."

"..." Hyuga Yuto tossed it onto a package as if it were a hot potato:

"Stop talking, move the stuff, it's cold outside."

……

"Teacher, I'm leaving. I have a mission and will probably be back in about five days." In the dead of night, Hyuga Yuto gently knocked on Tsunade's door.

"Get lost." The blonde woman's voice was lazy, showing she didn't really want to talk to her apprentice.

Yuto touched his nose, didn't dawdle, put on his Anbu mask, turned around and left the Senju clan's territory, exiting through the Konoha gates.

He passed through the dense forest, arrived at the outskirts, and hurried northward.

The so-called mission was, of course, fake.

Hyuga Yuto controlled his speed until the sun rose and then set again, before leaving the Land of Fire and entering the territory of another country.

They removed all of Konoha's equipment, put on a black robe and a Hannya mask, and then moved forward again.

Upon arriving at the designated location, Hyuga Yuto stomped his foot, shattering the ground. He jumped into the exposed crevice and walked for a long time in the dim light.

Suddenly, he stopped.

A man wearing a one-eyed mask appeared in front of Hyuga Yuto. The aura of the Senju and Uchiha clans burned on his body, and three bewitching tomoe slowly rotated in his exposed right eye.

—Obito Uchiha!

"Kid." Hyuga Yuto chuckled, completely disregarding Uchiha Obito.

"Where is your master?"

"Moon Goddess..." Obito murmured, turning and walking into the darkness.

"The stigmata is just ahead."

Hyuga Yuto followed behind Obito. He had accumulated so many God Masks that he could sustain himself in a long battle and was not afraid at all.

The journey was dimly lit, and perhaps because it was too quiet, Obito suddenly spoke:

"Moon Goddess, have you heard about that? The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is pregnant... and is expected to give birth in October."

"I know, kid. You have something to say?"

"You want the Nine-Tails?" Obito paused, his voice echoing eerily in the empty underground world.

"People always say you're the strongest ninja in the world, but even the strongest person can covet the power of a tailed beast... I'll release the tailed beast, and you take it back, how about that?"

"That's quite a bold idea, kid. Is this yours, or Madara's?"

"After today, I am Madara."

"Hahahaha..." Hyuga Yuto laughed, rubbing his forehead.

"A very attractive idea, but..." With a gentle press of his fingers, the mask's inner layer fell off and stuck to his forehead.

"However, you must use honorifics when speaking to your seniors, kid."

boom!

The moment the Masked Mode was activated, Hyuga Yuto appeared in front of Obito.

The right hand, wreathed in repulsive force, reached out to grab Obito, but the powerful blow passed right through Obito's chest, as if it had struck thin air.

"Huh..." Hyuga Yuto feigned surprise:

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

"That's right!" Obito Uchiha snorted. A chain flew out from his sleeve at some point, circled in the air, and restricted Yuto Hyuga's movements. At the same time, Obito stretched out one hand and touched the corner of the Hannya mask in the blink of an eye.

"So easy..." Obito felt a surge of joy, but the joy behind his mask suddenly froze the next moment.

Although Hyuga Yuto's punch to Obito didn't land a solid blow, the chakra, after disappearing into the air, somehow swirled and charged at an incredible angle, like a fish swimming through a ninja's meridians. Just before Obito's hand touched Yuto's body, it struck Obito's back first.

—The Extreme Sky!

"Ugh!" Obito Uchiha screamed in agony. He didn't have time to become intangible and was sent flying, crashing into the rock wall and sinking deep into the ground with a thunderous roar.

Intelligence is the lifeblood of a ninja. Theoretically speaking, Hyuga Yuto has an intelligence advantage against any enemy.

"A warning." Hyuga Yuto casually toyed with the chain and continued walking forward:

"Next time you see me, don't hold your head up too high, and remember to use polite language... Hmm? Aren't you going to come out and lead the way?"

The sound of rocks rolling came from behind, and Obito Uchiha appeared, coughing up blood, and silently approached Yuto Hyuga.

"Mr. Moon Goddess, you are indeed formidable." He swallowed the blood, his tone calm, as if nothing had happened.

"What are your thoughts on my proposal?"

What a stubborn guy… Hyuga Yuto thought to himself, subconsciously closing his right eye.

This foreign object seemed out of place in Masked Mode. After the Ōtsutsuki's chakra disappeared, it would cause excruciating pain. Fortunately, Hyuga Yuto had survived the Caged Bird Seal multiple times, so his threshold had become very high.

What truly tormented him was another kind of torture.

Half of his pupils faded, a stinging pain struck, and the caged bird returned to Hyuga Yuto's forehead.

The fresh air that could only be experienced in Masked Mode has disappeared once again.

Hyuga Yuto clenched his fists, trying hard to control his fingers, afraid that he might unconsciously take out another mask and stick it to his forehead.

Once you experience things called "freedom" and "dignity," you become addicted.

No matter how many masks he wears, he can't stay in a half-pupil state forever. And can cheating methods like eye transplantation really fool a caged bird permanently? In the beginning, the transplanted right eye didn't suddenly start hurting.

Besides, even if an ostrich could bury its head in the sand for its entire life, would its life really have any meaning?

What a stubborn guy... Hyuga Yuto sighed inwardly once again.

After a long while, through the Prajna mask, an indifferent voice echoed in the underground world:

"it is good."
