My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 200 Whirlpool Longsword

"Anyone? Does that include us?"

"That's natural..." Natsume Mayu suddenly paused, then said thoughtfully:

"Six months ago, the Uchiha clone was created. If it were him, he would probably understand the original's thoughts, because before that, the original was already muttering and fiddling with something."

"An Uchiha clone, huh?" The white-haired girl sighed softly.

"It looks like we'll be able to complete our mission soon."

"Who knows? I'm not as fanatical as Tachibana Yuugi, but to be honest, I'm also looking forward to the moment I return to my original form," Natsume Mayu said with a chuckle.

"Big Sister, when the four of us siblings gather together, after being devoured, we'll rebuild our Otsutsuki bloodline, and our true forms will directly trample the Nine-Tails underfoot and crush Susanoo with our hands. Wouldn't that be incredibly glorious?"

Mochizuki Ruri chuckled and waved her hand:

"If only it were tomorrow... Since the main body didn't give any specific instructions, I'll just go with the flow and let him arrange things."

"Please do as you please, boss. I reckon the real body will appear soon. He asked me to lure the Konoha ninja here; it can't be for fun, right?"

Natsume Mayu grinned from ear to ear, watching the white-haired girl's slender figure until she disappeared into the darkness. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said with a mischievous grin:

"Oh, right, has Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? The Uchiha's situation is a million times better than in the original story. Why don't we become little guardians of the timeline? Kill Aburame Shinno to help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, hahaha..."

Although he was smiling, there was no trace of ease or joy in Natsume Mayu's eyes. He simply stared calmly at Mochizuki Ruri's back, capturing every detail of this "number one clone's" body language.

The white-haired girl paused, shrugged, and sighed:

"If it's for the sake of the main body's great cause, then of course anyone can be killed. Or how about tomorrow..."

"Hey, hey, just kidding, why are you taking it seriously, boss?" Natsume Mayu stuck out her tongue:

"Isn't this just to lighten the mood? Why would I kill an innocent disciple for no reason..."

"Why are you all acting like lunatics..." Mochizuki Ruri turned around and glared at him before disappearing into the deep forest.

Natsume Mayu lay down on the ground with a thud, broke off a blade of grass, put it in her mouth, and remained silent for a long time.

He thought of Tachibana Yuuki and the Uchiha clones. Although their personalities were very different, all three clones, including himself—Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha—expressed a strong desire to be devoured by the original body.

Natsume Mayu believes that although it's a bit twisted, it's perfectly normal for a shadow clone to think this way—would a shadow clone resist disappearing? Would Black Zetsu betray Kaguya Otsutsuki?

But... the skeletal clone has been around for so long that... it has already formed a bond with Shisui and Shinno.

Natsume Mayu was afraid that the skeletal clones would cause complications and ruin his "wonderful fate of being devoured," so he spoke up and said a few words.

Now it seems I was just overthinking things.

"Sigh, really, why am I worrying so much... They're all clones from the same source, who doesn't know who?"

"So what if there are bonds? Don't I also enjoy hiding in the forest to treat patients? We're all thinking beings; isn't it normal to form bonds with the outside world?"

"They're both clones, so she definitely knows what's important and won't do anything too outrageous. As long as she has a bottom line, that's fine. Damn it, she can't possibly kiss Shisui and then die, right..."

Natsume Mayu patted her cheeks, chuckled mischievously, looking like she was enjoying the show, then put her hands under her head and fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the following days, the three from Konoha frequently harassed Natsume Masahiro, trying to extract information about Hyuga Yuto from him.

But just as Natsume Mayu said, he really didn't know anything.

"I don't know."

"The teacher never told me."

"Huh? I forgot."

The three denials left the original Team 9 ninjas speechless.

Finally, Shisui and the others realized that Natsume Mayu really didn't know where their teacher was. Helpless, they had no choice but to activate Plan B—to leave the Land of the Sea immediately, report to the Hokage, and send ninjas to be stationed there permanently!

Of course, to avoid the situation of "leaving one after the other", Aburame Shinno was temporarily left here. He was quite straightforward and built a stone house next to Natsume Mayu, continuing his relentless pursuit.

After buying some local specialties such as fish cakes, Uchiha Shisui and Mochizuki Ruri boarded the passenger ship returning to the Land of Whirlpools.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhishui excitedly scooped up a cup of seawater, tore up some fish cakes, soaked them in the seawater, and then gulped it down.

"...Does the Uchiha clan produce a lot of lunatics or something?" The white-haired girl frowned.

"Drink seawater raw?"

"You don't know, Ruri." Shisui held up the small cup as if presenting a treasure:

"The fish cakes from the Land of the Sea can be steeped in almost anything—tea, seawater, well water—they taste good no matter where you put them."

"Hmm, I'll give you a basin of water to wash your feet tomorrow, so enjoy it."

The Sharingan-wielding boy was about to retort instinctively, but then he suddenly remembered something, fell silent, and blushed.

"Huh? You're such a pervert!" the white-haired girl exclaimed.

"Well done! After returning to the village, I'll spread the word everywhere that Shisui of Instantaneous Movement stayed up all night to peep at his female teammates' little feet..."

"I didn't!"

"Ha, do you think anyone would believe you? What girl would joke about her innocence?"

Shisui's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he abruptly drew his sword, intending to frighten Mochizuki Ruri. However, the white-haired girl reacted even faster, letting out a soft moan as she fell to the ground, reaching to unbutton her blouse, and pitifully exclaimed:

"Don't kill me..."

"No, I didn't!" Shisui hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Liuli, stop making a scene. It wasn't easy for me to build up this reputation..."

With a loud bang, the large ship shook violently. The white-haired girl, who was smilingly teasing Shisui, was suddenly thrown into the air without noticing.

Uchiha Itsuki skillfully caught her, the blade pointing outwards, firmly protecting the girl in his arms.

"What huge waves..." Liuli frowned, stopped teasing her teammates, and stood up to look into the distance.

A super whirlpool, tens of kilometers in diameter, roared to the left front of the passenger ship, while hurricanes and torrential rain raged simultaneously, turning the world into darkness.

"So this is hurricane season..." Ruri Mochizuki frowned.

"It seems that if the village wants to send ninjas to be stationed in the Land of the Sea, it will have to bring professional navigation experts... Shisui, write this in the report."

"Ah? Oh, okay, okay..."

The Sharingan-wielding boy nodded hastily, unable to understand why the most beautiful girl in the world could change her expression so quickly, sometimes playful and sometimes serious, more unpredictable than the ocean itself.

However, what the young men and women in the cabin didn't know was that, far away, on the still relatively calm sea, a man with a one-eyed mask was already standing.

He gripped a long knife tightly in his hand.
