My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 187 Bonds

"Celestial Technique: Yin-Yang Seal!"

Opposing forces create all things in the universe.

Minato Namikaze and Yuto Hyuga's hands simultaneously touched Kurama's skin.

Amidst the earth-shattering screams of the tailed beast, its enormous body was forcibly split in two, becoming two slightly smaller miniature nine-tailed beasts.

Hyuga Yuto's palm unleashed a suction force. After the Ryougi Seal was completed, the Reverse Four Symbols Seal he used was still in operation, attempting to seal half of the Nine-Tails into his body.

"Kushina-senpai!" the branch family boy shouted towards a certain direction.

"Quickly seal the Yin portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Minato-senpai, you go..."

"I understand," the young Hokage said quickly, summoning the altar, placing Naruto on it, and using the Eight Trigrams Seal.

On the other side, countless chains shot out from Kushina's body, firmly binding the half of the Nine-Tails in front of Hyuga Yuto. The Adamantine Sealing Chains tightened continuously, pulling the tailed beast back towards her.

The couple simultaneously used advanced sealing techniques to seal the two nine-tailed foxes.

The "yin" aspect of the Nine-Tails returns to Kushina Uzumaki.

The "Yang" part of the Nine-Tails was sealed inside Naruto's body.

"You two are really messing around..." Kushina Uzumaki was trembling with pain all over her body. In less than ten minutes, she gave birth, the Nine-Tails broke free of its seal, and was sealed again. Every step was a life-threatening affair. Fortunately, the Uzumaki clan has strong vitality, and Kushina is one of the best among them, which is why she was able to endure it for so long.

However, even Kushina Uzumaki paid a huge price for releasing and retracting the Nine-Tails.

Just like Nagato using the Samsara Rebirth Technique in the original work, her hair turned completely white.

Minato Namikaze exited Sage Mode, handed Naruto to his wife, and then plopped down on the ground.

"Naruto..." Kushina hugged the baby in her arms, her face covered in tears:

"Mom can watch you grow up."

The young Hokage looked at his wife with a complicated expression, remained silent for a long time, and then smiled bitterly:

"Yuto, shall we talk over there?"

"it is good."

Kushina Uzumaki noticed the unusual tone in her husband's voice and looked at him blankly, but Minato Namikaze just shook his head at her without any explanation.

Hyuga Yuto helped Minato up, and the two walked about a hundred meters away.

Because of the battle with the Nine-Tails, this forest was almost completely destroyed, with rubble like sharp knives stuck in the ground, a truly terrifying sight.

The silver moon still hung quietly in the sky, its light like water, casting dappled shadows on their faces.

"You used the sealing technique very well, Yuto," Minato said, his voice as gentle as ever.

"Yes, I have a high talent for this." The boy from the branch family paused, then said softly:

"A month ago, I infiltrated your family's forbidden technique room and learned the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique. As I thought, the combination of two opposite sealing techniques can indeed cut off the Nine-Tails."

"So you admitted it so easily..." Minato smiled bitterly, his azure eyes filled with bitterness and sorrow.

"You know someone will release the Nine-Tails when Kushina gives birth."

"Um."

"You know that once the Nine-Tails is released, it will cause enormous destruction to the village."

"Um."

"You know everything, but you let it happen."

"Um."

"Yuto." The young Hokage stared blankly at the boy.

"You are my most trusted subordinate... No, ever since you saved Kushina from her half-tailed beast form, I have regarded you as a precious bond."

"You are smart and resilient, a reliable ninja you can entrust with anything. Sometimes I think, if I had a younger brother, he would probably be like you."

"But now... Yuto, in these sixteen years, everything you've done for me, for Lady Tsunade, for the village, was it all a lie?"

Hyuga Yuto fell silent. The boy had to admit that he didn't entirely resent Konoha Village, where he had lived for sixteen years.

Under the bright moon, the caged bird spoke softly:

「自忍者学校毕业后，我执行D级任务32次、C级任务76次、B级任务80次、A级任务27次、S级任务6次，全部完成。」

"During the three years of war, I served as your second-in-command on both the eastern and western battlefields, and was seriously wounded nine times. Do you remember that time at Kikyō Mountain? I almost died."

"After becoming the first head of the Dark Division, my average working hours were 14 hours. Every approval was the result of careful consideration. I would take care of anything that was harmful to the village in advance."

"All of the above is true."

"However……"

"After graduating from the Ninja Academy, I trained relentlessly and became the renowned [Hyuga no Tama]. I accumulated merits by any means necessary when carrying out missions, and finally broke free from the Hyuga's shackles and came into the Third Hokage's sights. For this, I killed a teammate with whom I had no grudge."

"During the three years of war, I hunted many of my people to gain power, hoping to escape this caged bird situation."

"After becoming the minister, as the second most important person in Konoha after you, all my flaws have been eliminated, and I have no more scruples."

"Minato-senpai, do you understand?"

"Everything is real, and everything is fake... because from beginning to end, what you see as Hyuga Yuto is only a part of me."

Minato Namikaze understood everything.

Yuto, who fought bloody battles as a Konoha ninja; Yuto, who saved Kushina with a crystal pendant; Yuto, who ate ramen with me after get off work; Yuto, who ignored the tragedy that happened tonight; Yuto, who used Sage Mode to split the Nine-Tails with me… All of these were decisions made by Yuto according to his own will.

The world is glorious and magnificent, there are countless ninjutsu techniques, and the mechanism of chakra nature transformation is incredibly complex.

But no matter how many ninjutsu techniques there are, they can't surpass human thought; no matter how complex the mechanisms are, they are far less effective than the human heart.

The human mind is the deepest labyrinth in the world.

The young Hokage exhaled a breath of stale air, his voice very soft:

"Yuto, what are you going to do next?"

"Return to the village and exterminate the entire clan."

"As expected, it's all for the caged bird." Minato Namikaze closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Could you give me a chance? As the village chief, perhaps there are other ways..."

"You're too arrogant, Minato-senpai," Hyuga Yuto interrupted rudely.

"The Caged Bird has existed for over a thousand years. In such a long period of time, there must have been many people who tried to rebel, and there must have been powerful outsiders like you who wanted to interfere. Unfortunately, they all failed."

"It is foolish to place your hopes on others; it is even more foolish to choose conservatism when you have the initiative in your hands."

"I am not a bird in a cage, Minato-senpai."

"You've made up your mind, huh? Well then, let me ask you one last question." Minato stared intently into the boy's eyes:

"If the village ninjas come to stop you when you attack the Hyuga..."

"kill!"

Decisive and without hesitation.

As a ninja wielding a kunai, once you choose a side, you must be prepared to be killed. Even the strongest person with compassion and hesitation will die at the hands of the weak.

Both of them understood that tonight, the caged bird might kill more people than the nine-tailed fox.

Under the pale moonlight, Minato Namikaze stood up.

"Trying to stop me... Don't waste your energy, Minato-senpai." Hyuga Yuto shook his head.

"You are the only person I fear, but now, your body has collapsed, your chakra is almost depleted, and you can't even use the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"So you can sit here comfortably and let the village's ninjas die because you can't do anything?"

The young ninja with azure eyes chuckled. Unlike his gentle and handsome face, his eyes seemed to be filled with iron, firm and unwavering.

"Sorry, but I'm the Hokage."
