My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 194 The Days After Hyuga Yuto's Departure (Part 2)

Konan stands atop the tower, striking the classic pose of the Akatsuki leader.

—Wearing a black robe, getting soaked in the rain, and looking down at the steel city of Amegakure with a blank expression.

"Jiexuan." She spoke abruptly, her voice filled with extremely complex emotions:

"So... the Moon Goddess is Hyuga Yuto?"

"That's right." The boy with Wood Release shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

Are you surprised?

"A little," Xiao Nan said with a wry smile.

"I finally figured it out... Back then, the three of us were ambushed by Hanzo of the Salamander and Konoha. Yuto Hyuga, contrary to his usual behavior, jumped out and killed me with Gentle Fist. Then Tsukishima appeared and revived me... Ha, Tsukishima is Yuto. I see."

"Sister Xiaonan, your tone is a bit off."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a feeling of being deceived, played with, and then abandoned, which is both infuriating and infuriating."

"Hmph." The purple-haired woman shook her head.

"Yuken, don't underestimate your leader. No matter what Hyuga Yuto's purpose is, it can't change the fact that he helped me and Nagato. That alone is enough for me to defend Amegakure for him."

"Sister Nan is truly a heroine." Tachibana Yuuki gave a thumbs up:

"However, there's no need to use the word 'perseverance.' After all, everyone in the ninja world knows that the mastermind behind Amegakure is this most evil S-rank rogue ninja in history. Who would dare to lay a finger on him?"

"You're right, Hyuga Yuto... no, when is Mr. Yuto coming? I've almost finished the task he gave me."

"I don't know." Tachibana Yuuki replied casually, resting his head on his hand.

"After his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, his thoughts became even more unpredictable. He didn't take the initiative to contact me, and I didn't know where he was."

……

"Jue, do you want to die?"

Obito removed his mask, revealing his badly bruised right cheek. His kaleidoscope slowly spun, clearly showing his genuine rage.

"Why didn't you tell me that the Moon Goddess is Hyuga Yuto?"

"Oh dear, how scary, how scary..."

"Shut up, White Zetsu! Don't speak now!" Black Zetsu roared, first glaring at the brainless guy, then replying in a deep voice:

"This is Madara's order."

"Heh." Obito stepped forward expressionlessly. After creating the Nine-Tails' chaos, an even more terrifying aura condensed on his body. For the Uchiha, every time they lose an emotion, their eye power becomes stronger.

He looked at the black and white Jue, his tone calm:

"I remember, I've said it many times... I am Madara."

"This kid's really something," Black Zetsu thought to himself, and continued:

"Not revealing the Moon Goddess's true identity to anyone is one of the prerequisites for cooperating with Hinata Yuto... I'm sorry."

"Hmph." Obito Uchiha's expression softened slightly.

"This is a one-time exception. Remember, even without you, I can complete the Eye of the Moon Project with just this eye!"

"Your eye technique is indeed astonishing, but why don't you retrieve the other Mangekyou Sharingan? The Sharingan can only unleash its full power when both eyes are intact."

"No need, just leave it with Kakashi for now. If we retrieve it, it might expose the fact that I'm still alive..." Obito Uchiha paused, suddenly thinking of a problem:

"Does Hyuga Yuto know anything about me?"

"……Know."

"This is a bit troublesome." Obito scratched his hair.

"It would be best to find an opportunity to meet him..."

……

"Shinno, you went too far."

The handsome boy grasped his companion's hand and whispered:

"There's no need to sever his Achilles tendons. We still need to bring this Cloud Village ninja back to the village. If he can't walk, it will take a long time."

Wearing a hood and sunglasses, Aburame Shinno remained silent for a long while before saying in a hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry, I'm just...annoyed."

Shisui's bright eyes dimmed slightly, but as the team leader, he rallied his spirits and patted his teammate on the shoulder:

"I understand how you feel, but as ninjas, we must focus on the mission..."

"Here we go again with your lecturing, so long-winded, like a girl!" Just then, the white-haired girl jumped down from the tree. She opened her arms and put them around Shisui and Shinno's shoulders, pressing her cheeks against the two boys' cheeks, and said with a grin:

"Our teacher's gone, no one's watching us anymore, how great! Let's go, let's get an A-rank mission back in the village! Let's try to break Kakashi-senpai's record for the fastest rank of Jonin!"

Uchiha Shisui gave a wry smile and covered the girl's mouth:

"Liuli, could you please talk less..."

Despite some setbacks along the way, Team 9 successfully completed their mission, capturing the Cloud Village ninja who had infiltrated the Land of Fire and bringing him back to Konoha.

After finishing his ramen with his two companions, Shisui returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

The oppressive and strange atmosphere within the tribe, coupled with the fact that the teacher had defected, made the eight-year-old boy lose interest in chatting with his tribesmen. He returned home, leaned against his bed, and stared blankly at the photo frame nailed to the wall.

In the photo frame, a gentle and handsome young man stands at the back, smiling as he embraces himself, Ruri, and Shinno, appearing very close.

Even now, Uchiha Shisui could easily recall the happy feeling he had when the photo was taken—his admired teacher, his best friend, the girl he liked…

Teacher, they all say you harbor deep hatred and are the most heinous S-rank rogue ninja who killed the Fourth Hokage and slaughtered his clan because of his dissatisfaction with the Caged Bird Seal.

The day we meet again, we may only be able to face each other in sorrow.

Even so, I still want to ask you one question.

Who exactly was you that evening, the one who took a picture with the three of us in her arms?

Is it that caged bird that hates the village? Or simply... my respected and admired teacher?

……

The boy named Hinata Yuto is feared, hated, and worshipped by countless people.

They feared his godlike power, hated his sins of slaughtering his clan and killing the Hokage, and admired his courage to defy fate.

Such a person is rare in the ninja world.

In remote areas, rumors even circulated that "Hyuga Yuto is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths." Hyuga Yuto's name spread to every corner of the world, and even the most remote sea country knew of his name.

—The most evil S-rank rogue ninja in the ninja world, who killed the Fourth Hokage and slaughtered his clan!

However, no one expected that this young man, who was at the center of the world's storm, would disappear on the night he betrayed his clan.

Every so often, news of Hyuga Yuto's whereabouts would circulate, and each time the major ninja villages would send their best ninjas to investigate, but to no avail.

At first, Konoha sent out investigation teams twice a month in an attempt to find any clues about Hyuga Yuto, but no matter what methods they used or what kind of people they sent, they were completely unsuccessful.

Gradually, Konoha became busy rebuilding and dealing with the covetous eyes of other ninja villages, so it stopped investing too much effort in this area. After a while, "finding Hyuga Yuto" became a routine Jonin mission.

And so, four years passed in the blink of an eye.
