My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 207 Obito's Ambush Battle Begins!

Is Master Yuto so respectful of his teacher?

Xiao Nan was puzzled, but seeing Hyuga Yuto's expression, she wisely kept quiet and simply lowered her head to sip her soup.

Tsunade sat down casually, tied her long golden hair into a ponytail, and said with great bravado:

"I'm beating up the boss! I'm extending credit! I'll put it all on the Hokage's tab!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." The boss replied with a smile, already used to the way this important person did things.

"Huh? You..." Only then did Tsunade notice the purple-haired woman beside her:

"You're the leader of the Akatsuki organization from Amegakure?"

Konan put down her chopsticks and turned to Tsunade:

"Yes, Slug Princess, I am now formally paying a visit to Konoha."

Tsunade nodded. She knew that with Konoha's current level of barriers and defenses, it wouldn't be so lax as to allow the Akatsuki leader to sneak into the village and eat noodles so easily. She loosened her clenched fist and sighed.

"We met when you were little...sigh, that was more than twenty years ago."

"I still remember that rainy night." Xiao Nan's expression was calm:

"We encountered you, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya-sensei. The rain was really heavy that night... just like when Jiraiya-sensei killed Nagato."

Tsunade's expression suddenly froze, and just as she was about to say something, Konan continued:

"However, now that I am the leader of Akatsuki, I will consider issues from the perspective of Amegakure and will not act recklessly. Moreover, since Jiraiya-sensei killed Nagato on the grounds of 'peace in the ninja world,' I must prove him wrong!"

She stood up, strode out of the shop, her voice firm and resolute:

"To actually pin their dreams of peace on the dreams of an old toad... How laughable!"

The blonde woman watched Xiao Nan leave with a complicated expression. After the tall, straw-hatted attendant left his seat, she couldn't help but speak:

"The person you follow is already an outstanding ninja. I heard that the rogue ninja is the mastermind behind Amegakure? It seems you have learned a lot from him."

Hyuga Yuto didn't dare to answer, placed the money on the table, and left the shop.

"What an impolite fellow..." The blonde woman frowned. Although she was displeased, she didn't bother arguing with a mere servant and turned around to wait patiently.

"Ramen is here~" The owner came out again with a tray, first handing it to Tsunade, and then taking away the money that Hyuga Yuto had placed on the table.

"Hey? These two didn't pay enough either." The boss counted several times and muttered under his breath:

"That was the price four years ago..."

Tsunade was happily eating when she heard those words, but she didn't pay any attention to them.

……

"Old man, I'm back!" Tsunade pushed open the door, casually sat on the table, and took a piece of candy from Hiruzen Sarutobi's drawer and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Could you be a little more ladylike sometimes?" The Third Hokage sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

"If outsiders see this, they'll probably laugh at you."

"Outsiders? There are no outsiders here." Tsunade shrugged indifferently.

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, will you tell anyone?"

"Hahaha... Of course not, you are the famous Slug Princess, the most dazzling flower of Konoha!" Jiraiya laughed heartily.

He sat in a wheelchair, covered with a blanket, his trouser legs below the knees hanging loosely. He had lost ninety percent of his skills, but fortunately, his spirits were still quite good.

Orochimaru chuckled, but Tsunade glared at him.

Others may not know, but the four masters and disciples in the room all know that the guy who stole the First Hokage's cells to conduct human experiments was Orochimaru.

Even now, Tsunade still harbors resentment towards Orochimaru. Every time she sees this guy who dug up her grandfather's grave, she has to exert a lot of effort to resist the urge to punch him.

"Ahem..." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said with a wry smile:

"Let's not fight amongst ourselves now. There are only the four of us in the room, so I'll just say what I have to say."

"The guy who manipulated the Nine-Tails four years ago was Uchiha Obito... Jiraiya, don't get excited. Our information source is very reliable, and Kakashi has already used a similar space-time eye technique. We can confirm with 100% certainty that it was Obito."

"In some ways, he's more terrifying than Hyuga Yuto."

"As for specific details such as the source of intelligence, they will be announced after the mission is completed."

"In short, Obito is a madman who hates the village and the ninja world; he must be killed!"

"I, Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Fugaku, the four of us, are the main force, but we also need the cooperation of the Anbu and the village's elite ninjas."

"No one can be sure they'll survive a space-time ninjutsu. If I die, Orochimaru will be the Fifth Hokage!"

"If Orochimaru and I both die on that day, Tsunade will be the successor to the title of Kage."

"Jiraiya, you should not participate in the combat operations directly. Stay in the Hokage Building and monitor any unusual activities in the village in my stead. Tsunade, you should be ready to go at any time."

Tsunade responded, showing complete trust in her teacher's arrangements.

Jiraiya lowered his head, looking at his incomplete legs with a gloomy expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru did not disclose the source of the information, nor did they reveal that Yuto Hyuga might have infiltrated the Amegakure team.

Tsunade nearly destroyed the Senju clan's territory because of her disciple's situation. Although it's unclear why she was so agitated, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to keep it a secret for the time being to prevent her from causing a scene at Amegakure's temporary residence.

As for why the ambush on Obito Uchiha was carried out so quickly, without waiting for Amegakure to leave the village, it was all because of Yuto Hyuga.

By revealing his whereabouts, informing Obito of the situation, and then having Amegakure enter the village, Yuto Hyuga, though without a direct meeting, blatantly conveyed a message—

I need to do something while you're killing Obito. Konoha must carry out an ambush during this time!

You do your thing, I'll do mine. We're fine, but if anything goes wrong...

Like allies, enemies also have tacit understandings, because they know each other's interests very well, making it easier for them to achieve "cooperation".

Because of the actual difference in combat strength, Konoha was helplessly led by the nose by Hyuga Yuto.

Fortunately, the village was also able to eliminate a major threat through this operation and achieve a certain degree of exchange of benefits, so Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't in such a bad mood.

……

As time passed, Amegakure followed the established procedure, visiting Konoha and paying respects to renowned figures. Hiruzen Sarutobi would occasionally host Konan, and the guests and hosts would enjoy their conversations. Orochimaru remained the trustworthy head of the Anbu, the undisputed next Hokage.

Amidst this peaceful atmosphere, an incident suddenly erupted. Initially, only a small group of important figures within the village knew about it, but then spies intervened and sent this valuable information out of Konoha.

—"The Second Division of Konoha's Anbu encountered an unexpected situation while carrying out a high-risk mission, resulting in the deaths and injuries of most of its members. Captain Kakashi Hatake was killed in action, and his heroic name will be engraved on the memorial stone."
