My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 224 The Naruto World Through Hyuga Yuto's Eyes

Hyuga Yuto lay on the leaden sand, his Byakugan allowing him to easily see what this world called "Pure Land" looked like—

The boundless desert and the endless night sky, with nothing in between, resemble a canvas waiting to be painted.

An almost eternal deathly silence pervades this world; it is a desolate place countless times more terrifying than the Wet Bone Forest.

Even so, many colors were reflected in Hyuga Yuto's eyes.

That was the chakra remaining from the dead ninja.

Despite being in a pure land, Hyuga Yuto showed no sign of panic.

Setting up a summoning ritual deep in the ocean is extremely dangerous, but it's impossible to instantly crush and kill a master of Hyuga Yuto's caliber.

He knew perfectly well that he was not dead.

Hinata Yuto gently closed his eyes and lay on the gray sand sea of ​​the Pure Land. He found himself feeling extremely comfortable, as if he were in warm amniotic fluid.

"You look very relaxed."

A voice rang out in the Pure Land, but it did not belong to Hyuga Yuto.

"Emotions are often completely useless." Hyuga Yuto opened his eyes, remaining lying on the sand without getting up.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty? That's a very rare title."

"It's quite fitting for you, after all..." Hyuga Yuto paused, then said softly:

"You are the Sage of Six Paths."

With a thud, the old man in the white robe sat down next to Hyuga Yuto.

He had a peculiar appearance: brown hair, a goatee, two horns, two purple Rinnegan eyes, and a scarlet eye on his forehead.

The one who summoned Hyuga Yuto to the "Land of Infinite Reincarnation" was the founder of the Ninja Cult—the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!

The night sky was vast and the desert sands stretched endlessly. There was a silent desolation between heaven and earth, as if only an old man and a young man were left to choose their fate.

"I thought you'd just come at me with Yin-Yang Release without saying a word," Hyuga Yuto yawned lazily and chuckled.

"I prepared eight figures worth of multiplicative detonating tags, thinking that even if they were useless, it would be good to have the first move... Grandmaster, tell me straight, would the detonating tags be useful to you?"

"It's no use." The Sage of Six Paths' expression was very serious.

"Yin-Yang Release can transform blazing flames into a gentle breeze."

"Ah... how impolite! So, Sage of Six Paths, are you going to kill me?"

"You don't seem to be afraid of death."

"For a ninja, death is the final form." Hyuga Yuto grabbed a handful of dust and sand, letting it slip through his fingers.

"Only at the moment of death can we see what kind of person we really are. For some reason, I look forward to eternal sleep."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at the young man lying next to him, and those white eyes seemed familiar.

A thousand years ago, Hagoromo also liked to sit on the ground, gazing at the divine tree in the distance while talking to his younger brother, Hamura.

Because her pupils don't have a significant color difference, pure white eyes can hardly express a wide range of emotions. However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki spent so much time with his younger brother that his brother almost became a part of him.

At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths could clearly see the emotions in Hyuga Yuto's eyes.

The young man was not lying; even if he lost everything, he would go further and further down that path.

There's no point in trying to persuade someone like Hyuga Yuto; the only way to stop him is to kill him!

"well……"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed deeply but did not make a move.

He lived for over a thousand years, and even after his "death," he was still able to maintain his spirit through chakra, walking between the Pure Land and the mortal world. He was given the title of Sage, which is hardly an exaggeration by later generations.

Even he, and even his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, were not omniscient and omnipotent gods; their power had its limits.

More importantly, the Sage of Six Paths' chakra was intended to be used against his mother.

He could kill Hyuga Yuto, and even have plenty of energy left afterward, but what if Kaguya breaks the seal in the future...?

Between Hyuga Yuto and his mother, who will bring the greatest pain to the world? It was difficult for the Sage of Six Paths to judge.

But he understood that his mother's resurrection was imminent, and the path that Hyuga Yuto was about to take was only just beginning to take shape.

"So, you've decided not to take action after all?" Hyuga Yuto stood up and said calmly.

"Then send me back. I still need to set up a spirit communication incantation."

"The living cannot stay in the Pure Land for long. After a while, you will leave here on your own."

Thank you.

Another silence fell, until finally the Sage of Six Paths spoke softly:

"Young man, is it really necessary to take that path? This world is still..."

"I won't turn back," Hinata Yuto interrupted him with a smile.

"I can roughly understand why you don't just kill me now, and I know that my ideas will definitely be opposed by the vast majority of people... But since I am a ninja, I have to persevere."

The young man, no longer a caged bird, looked up at the pristine night sky, his voice echoing across the gray sea of ​​sand:

"Chakra may never have been the key to peace."

"A core superpower with the strongest ninja forces fights a world-shaking war on average every eighteen years."

"I personally experienced the Third Shinobi World War and was the first head of the Anbu. I know a lot of inside information. From Konoha 48 to 50, the population of the Land of Fire decreased by 30%."

"These are the death tolls in powerful countries; the losses in smaller countries are far more severe."

"After I left Konoha, I went to many places. The Land of the Sea, which has no ninjas, left a deep impression on me. They were abandoned by chakra, but they were doing very well."

"If we don't have fire-based magic, we'll mine the non-renewable resources underground; if we lack strength, we'll design machinery; if it's too cold in winter, we'll build houses using insulating materials."

"The last major war in the Land of the Sea was thirty-six years ago... and it was fought to defend against ninja pirates!"

"So I think chakra shouldn't occupy such an important place in the world."

"No! You're wrong." Hagoromo Otsutsuki suddenly spoke, his purple Rinnegan filled with sincerity:

"Chakra is not a weapon that brings death. My purpose in creating Ninjutsu is to connect everything in the world so that everyone can understand each other's pain and emotions..."

"I believe you, I truly believe you." Hyuga Yuto turned around and said solemnly:

"A thousand years ago, you founded the Ninjutsu sect and passed on the true meaning of chakra to the world. You truly wanted to create a peaceful era of mutual understanding."

"Hundreds of years ago, the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, who developed the Caged Bird Seal, was definitely motivated by the desire to protect his family."

"Fifty-five years ago, when Hashirama Senju established the system of one village, one country, it was never about dictatorship, but about creating a safe environment where children could live through their childhood."

"But even now, the ninja world has never experienced twenty years of lasting peace... Every generation of ninjas has to go through their own ninja war."

"All your efforts for peace have been declared a failure."

"But none of you are wrong. The passion you had back then for the vision of creating peace and prosperity for Bandai should not be denied by anyone."

"But it's useless, it's just useless, that's the objective reality."

"So I thought, the reason skyscrapers collapse might be due to poor foundations... No, that's too mild a statement. You were basically building houses in the clouds!"

Golden light flowed, and the power of space tore at Hyuga Yuto's body. He smelled the salty scent from the depths of the sea.

The living cannot remain in the Pure Land forever; his time has come.

Hinata Yuto's body slowly disappeared into the Pure Land.

What remained were only the last two sentences, which were considered highly treasonous:

"That's right, this world doesn't need chakra at all."

"I will end the era of ninjas."
