My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 205 A Visitor from Amegakure

"Excuse me, please wait a moment, Hokage-sama..."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned and said:

"You mean, Obito hated the world because of the death of his female teammates, and not only did he gain the powerful eye power to control the Nine-Tails during his year of disappearance, but he also attacked his teacher and his teacher's wife, who were giving birth to children, on that night, without any grudge against him?" He paused, then smiled bitterly:

"Although I know that many villagers think that we Uchiha are a little bit abnormal in the head, isn't Obito's behavior... a bit too crazy?"

It's no wonder that Fugaku Uchiha didn't believe it. In his mind, Obito had always been the kind-hearted boy who helped old ladies cross the street, so kind-hearted that he didn't seem like a member of the Uchiha family. It was impossible for him to associate him with that despicable guy who released the Nine-Tails.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smirk, a smile tinged with sarcasm:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, clinging to stereotypes at this point will only lead to disaster... Four years ago, who could have imagined that the mighty [Hand of the Hokage] would slaughter his own clan?"

Fugaku Uchiha fell silent, and the three people in the large house stopped talking.

"If it really is Obito, then he must have obtained the space-time eye technique after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan..." Fugaku suddenly spoke, his voice deep:

"Lord Hokage, could you please send Kakashi over?"

"certainly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly to Orochimaru, who understood immediately. He put his arm into his mouth, the arc widening until his jaws dislocated, and pulled a blue python out of his throat.

The blue python, covered in slime and smelling of fish, slid across the floor and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This little darling will bring Kakashi with her... Hmm? Teacher, Clan Chief Fugaku, what's with that expression?"

"...Fine, whatever makes you happy." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, took out his pipe, and started puffing away.

He could already picture his good apprentice opening his gaping maw like a serpent spitting out its tongue during the enthronement ceremony.

"Oh, right, teacher." Orochimaru wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said in front of Fugaku Uchiha:

"I will recall Jiraiya and Tsunade in the name of the Hokage Building."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a smoke ring, his face filled with sorrow.

"Those two bastards, they just left as soon as things started to look up... Before they could ambush Obito, did they even have time to get back to the village?"

"That's about right. When I was communicating with them last month, Jiraiya was soaking in a hot spring in the Land of Hot Springs, and Tsunade was losing big at an underground casino in the Land of Waterfalls, not too far from the village."

"Well, let's call them both back then. The more powerful opponents we have, the better, to deal with enemies with space-time eye techniques." Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"I believe Tsunade will definitely appear on time, but will Jiraiya also return?"

After Jiraiya lost his leg, his career as a ninja was basically over. He lost his ability to move at high speed, and even though his chakra level was almost the same as before, his combat power was less than one-tenth of what it used to be. A few well-coordinated Chunin squads could take his life.

Although Jiraiya stayed in the village for a while after the Crimson Night and helped Hiruzen Sarutobi a lot, when Konoha was on the right track, Jiraiya said goodbye to his friends and teacher and disappeared at the village entrance in his wheelchair.

Although Jiraiya laughed heartily and said, "Stability is not something a man should pursue," Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all saw the melancholy in Jiraiya's eyes when they parted.

The Third Hokage was also heartbroken. He regarded his three disciples as his own children and couldn't bear to see Jiraiya in that state.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but fortunately, the tense atmosphere did not last long.

Just as Orochimaru said, the Blue Python did indeed bring Kakashi Hatake with him.

The excellent ninja, the current captain of the second squad of the Anbu, looked exhausted. Half an hour ago, he heard news of his old friend from Hiruzen Sarutobi. He couldn't process this terrible fact for a while and was in a daze. When he saw the three people in the big house, he could only force himself to stay awake.

Uchiha Fugaku said softly:

"Captain Kakashi, could you show your left eye?"

Kakashi Hatake mechanically did as instructed.

"Excuse me..." Fugaku suddenly gathered his chakra, quickly formed hand seals, and the three tomoe spun rapidly.

"Whoa!" Kakashi shuddered, feeling as if Obito's Sharingan had been pricked by a needle. He instinctively knelt down and covered his left eye tightly.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and lowered his hand, drenched in cold sweat.

The Sharingan that came from Obito has transformed into the strange Three-Edged Eye.

"Let me explain." Fugaku stared intently at the kaleidoscope of ideas in Kakashi's eyes:

"That was a unique eye technique of our Uchiha clan, capable of stimulating the Sharingan. Only the clan head can master it… Ah, sorry for rambling on. I was just too shocked." His emotions were complex as he continued:

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is a legendary eye that only ninjas who stand at the pinnacle of the Uchiha clan can possess. The eye techniques vary greatly depending on individual talent and willpower. The last Mangekyou Sharingan users clearly recorded in the clan history were Uchiha Madara and his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna."

"Kakashi is not a member of the Uchiha clan, so he cannot close his Sharingan and is not sensitive to changes in his eye. Therefore, he never knew that it had already evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"If your left eye is a kaleidoscope, your right eye should be the same... Captain Kakashi, if it's convenient, could you use your eye technique? Relax and sense it carefully..."

Om-!

Before he finished speaking, a spiral-shaped spatial distortion appeared on the ceiling, and the sealed alloy chamber, cast from special materials, was instantly torn apart.

Kakashi is a true genius with a keen sense of "jutsu." Even though it was his first time using it, he still managed to unleash Kamui.

The pain of rapidly depleting chakra overwhelmed Kakashi Hatake, who gasped for breath and covered his left eye as his Mangekyou Sharingan transformed into three tomoe once more.

Like the one-eyed masked man who attacked Shisui, it is a super high-level ninjutsu of the space-time type!

This alone is enough to confirm Obito's identity.

"Kakashi, get some rest." After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up to comfort him:

"You need to get your energy and health in order; you are the key to the operation to ambush Obito."

"...Yes, Hokage-sama." Kakashi stood up, still rubbing his left eye.

Although Obito was a close friend, in Kakashi's heart, the safety of the village far outweighed friendship, and what he wanted most right now was to grab Obito by the collar and punch him hard in the face—

"You bastard, why did you hurt the teacher and his wife? Because of Lin? But Lin was a hero who bravely sacrificed herself for the village..."

Kakashi's mind was in turmoil, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression remained calm:

"Chief Fugaku, what do you plan to do?"

"I will obey Hokage-sama's orders." Fugaku bowed his head without hesitation and said:

"The Uchiha are also part of the village."

The leader of Konoha, the head of the Anbu, the key bait, and the leader of the largest clan in the village—the four key figures all reached an agreement.

Although it sounds unpleasant that "the Uchiha clan helped the village kill the Mangekyou Sharingan genius within their own clan," anyone in Fugaku's position would have made the same choice.

The things Obito did have already confirmed that he was an out-of-control madman. To let him go unchecked or even show him mercy would be tantamount to courting death. The ruins of the Hyuga clan's territory still stand at the west end of the village. Fugaku dared not gamble that the Uchiha would follow in the footsteps of the Hyuga.

Moreover, after the Crimson Night, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru's policies were very favorable to the Uchiha clan. The Sharingan clan has indeed been living very comfortably these past few years, with no conflicts with the village. Back then, when Madara wanted to take his clan members with him, no one left Konoha with him, let alone now.

Thus, a massive storm was quietly brewing in Konoha.

Orochimaru wrote a letter to recall his two friends.

The rotation order of the members of the secret unit was quietly changed, so that a highly capable elite squad could be assembled at any time.

The strategy and timing of the ambush have been discussed countless times and are now taking shape. Seven years ago, the attempt to kill Moon Goddess failed, and Konoha learned many lessons that can be put to good use this time.

Of course, to prevent leaks, the only people in Konoha who know the truth are Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Fugaku Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and the boys and girls from the original Team 9.

As time passed, the blade known as "Konoha" was sharpened, and after four years, it was ready to leap out of its sheath and drink blood at any moment.

However, before Obito could drink the blood, Konoha was hit by rain.

—The delegation from Amegakure has arrived.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, Amegakure and Konoha signed a peace treaty at the end of the Third Shinobi World War. Although hatred still existed between them, at least on the surface they were "harmonious and friendly neighbors".

Konan, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, first submitted an official letter, then sent an envoy to discuss the details, and finally came over in a grand manner. The whole process was quite smooth and very formal.

On the day the Amegakure high-ranking officials arrived, Konoha responded with the same courtesy.

Although Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't personally come out of the village to greet them, Orochimaru waited at the gate with a group of ninjas, showing great courtesy.

There weren't many ninjas from Amegakure, only sixteen in total. They were all dressed in the same style of red cloud and black robes, quiet and silent, clearly a well-trained elite squad.

A beautiful woman with purple hair walked at the front, her face cool and aloof.

"Welcome to Konoha... Leader Konan."

Since Nagato's death, Konan has been the leader of Akatsuki and Amegakure for five years, and is already a true leader. Although she still harbors hatred for Konoha, she shows no displeasure on the surface. Instead, she says softly:

"Orochimaru, when I come to Konoha again next time, there will probably be a statue of you on the Hokage Rock."

"If that day ever comes, maintaining peaceful exchanges with Amegakure will be a policy I uphold for life... Let's go inside and talk. Everyone from Amegakure, Konoha has arranged a residence and a banquet." Orochimaru turned to a beautiful female ninja and said:

"Hong, take the guests to the mansion."

"Yes, ma'am." Kurenai Yuhi led the way, and the Amegakure ninjas entered the village one by one.

Orochimaru remained standing in the same spot.

He seemed to be fulfilling his duty of welcoming guests, smiling as he looked at the Rain Village ninja. But if you stood directly opposite him, you would find that his golden snake eyes held no smile at all, but were instead filled with a solemn expression.

Finally, a ninja who had fallen to the very back of the Amegakure team came into Orochimaru's view.

He was tall and wore a black robe with red clouds, a bamboo hat, and a curtain that covered his face. Even though he was entering a village with whom he had a grudge, he walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets, showing no sign of tension.

So undisguised, Yuto-kun... But thankfully, you're wearing a straw hat.

Orochimaru sighed inwardly.

In the end, he brushed past the tall man in the straw hat without exchanging a single word with him.

From the Hokage Building in the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was using the Telescope Technique, saw this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"This is the residence the village has provided for you, Lady Konan. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My name is Kurenai Yuhi."

The ninjas from Amegakure entered one by one, leaving only Konan and the man wearing a straw hat outside.

"Lord Yuto, aren't you going in?"

"It's a bit of a journey, I'd like to have a bowl of ramen." Hinata Yuto yawned.

"Want to come with me?"

"If you allow it, Xiao Nan would certainly like to."

"That tone...is she afraid I'll suddenly go insane and return to Konoha?" Yuuto chuckled.

"Don't worry, betraying a village isn't child's play. How could there be any question of going back on one's word? A ninja who can't walk his own ninja way is no different from a pig or a dog. And even if I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice."

The purple-haired woman shrank back shyly.

"I'm sorry, Yuuto-sama."

"Don't make that face, everyone will know I'm Hyuga Yuto... Be more authoritative, treat me like a carefree subordinate."

"Yes, sir," Konan replied softly, then immediately raised her chin and looked coldly at Hyuga Yuto.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and lead the way!"

"Hey~ That's just right..." Hyuga Yuto smiled contentedly, and the two of them took off their red cloud black robes and strolled around Konoha.

At first, the most notorious S-rank rogue ninja just wandered around casually, but gradually, he couldn't help but ramble on and on:

"This used to be an incredibly cheap tavern. Boiled peanuts were free, and salted fried soybeans were also free. Only the drinks cost money. It's a pity that it's now been turned into a ninja tool shop."

"That alley corner is the territory of stray cats. Don't underestimate them; they're very clever. With a little training, they can become ninja cats. There's a special training base in the village where many retired ninjas work. The pay is good, and you can pet the cats."

"The Eel House Tavern is right below the base of the First Anbu Squad, but it's definitely moved somewhere else now. Before, the squad members liked to meet under this telephone pole… Hmm? Where's the telephone pole?" Hyuga Yuto paused abruptly, then clicked his tongue and sighed.

"I remember now, that night, I used it as a weapon and smashed it to pieces... What a pity."

He scratched his head and led Xiao Nan through several more streets until they reached a bustling area.

"Luckily, this shop is still around." Hinata Yuto chuckled.

"This is the best ramen restaurant I've ever been to."
