My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 235 As expected of someone with the surname Hyuga.

"You did very well, Shisui." Hiruzen Sarutobi patted the boy on the shoulder:

"As commander, you must always remember that we fight for our fellow villagers. If we have to sacrifice all the Uchiha, then victory is meaningless."

"Third Hokage, I..." Uchiha Shisui raised his head, his face full of emotion.

His gaze swept over the scrolls spread out on Hiruzen Sarutobi's table, and a hint of shame flashed in his eyes.

There were three scrolls in total, all containing similar information: urgent intelligence reports to the front-line command indicating "signs of large-scale troop movements in the three regions of Wind, Earth, and Thunder."

The reason Konoha had to engage in a fierce battle with Kirigakure last night was because of the advantage of Shisui and a group of other skilled fighters secretly arriving at the front lines. Once that opportunity was missed, it would be extremely difficult to wipe out Kirigakure in one fell swoop.

—To prevent Konoha's fighting power from growing to an uncontrollable level, the three kingdoms of Wind, Earth, and Lightning do not want to see Kirigakure perish.

"Shisui, Shikaku, let's talk to the old man." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.

"You were all there; tell me, what were those self-destructing monsters?"

"I'm sorry, Third Hokage, my eye power can't see through their true nature yet, but these guys chase after Sharingan, and initially, they didn't target the Uchiha..." Shisui paused, pondering:

"I suspect that they activated their self-destruct function after seeing Susanoo."

"So, the enemy not only understands Konoha, but also the Sharingan, and even knows the secrets of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Heh... Shisui, Shikaku, do you think Kirigakure has that kind of ability?"

Neither the head of the secret service nor the deputy commander spoke.

At the same time, a name came to mind for all three of them.

—Obito Uchiha!

Two years ago, Obito disappeared from the village by some unknown means... Is he finally going to stir up trouble again?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and whispered the order:

"Something's not right... Regardless of whether that thing is related to Obito Uchiha, the plan to wipe out Kirigakure is doomed to fail. Let's get back to Konoha quickly. If Orochimaru is the only one there, the defenses will definitely be insufficient."

Shisui and Shikaku nodded in agreement.

The old man smoking a pipe thought for a moment, then frowned, looking troubled, and said:

"But before we leave, we must clean up this mess. Shikaku, you are responsible for negotiating with the envoys from the three countries of Wind, Earth, and Lightning to show that Konoha has no intention of annexing Kirigakure."

"I will personally write a letter to the Mizukage to initiate peace negotiations and end the war. Shisui, you are responsible for delivering this letter to Kirigakure and bringing their [war reparations letter] with you."

"Yes, Third Master!" ×2

As the two stood up, Shisui hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly:

"Third Hokage, I will definitely deliver the letter to the Mizukage, but what about that letter of compensation... what if they don't agree to a ceasefire?"

"Hahaha..." Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and shook his head.

"That's impossible! They've already fought their way to Kirigakure's headquarters, and they still won't admit defeat. Have they lost their minds from using too much Water Release?"

……

"We will never admit defeat!"

Mei Terumi smashed the table in front of her and said coldly:

"There's no need to discuss surrender anymore... Once the Konoha envoy arrives, I will declare my resolve: Kirigakure will fight the enemy to the death, now and forever!"

A silence fell over the crowd in the hall, but to Mei Terumi's surprise, although most of the higher-ups looked grim, they did not refute her.

Upon closer reflection, this actually makes sense.

—In a sense, paying astronomical sums in reparations would be less worthwhile than continuing the war. After all, ninjas usually do dangerous, high-risk jobs anyway, so Kirigakure takes death in stride.

Moreover, although it is unknown where the Mizukage summoned the reinforcements, Kirigakure has already survived the crisis of being wiped out. Staying in their own village is much better than joining Konoha.

As for whether the reinforcements brought in had any other purpose or whether they would harm the village, Kirigakure didn't have much energy to think about that question. Just a few hours ago, the village was facing the crisis of total annihilation. Even if the situation was bad, could it be so bad that the entire village would be wiped out?

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Miki breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss the next war plan.

……

"Captain, did you see that just now?"

"What?" Hyuga Yoru looked at Uchiha Natsuki in confusion.

"Master Shisui's technique!" The genin girl jumped up and down in anxiety.

"I heard everything. At the entrance of Kirigakure, Lord Shisui used an incredibly powerful eye technique!"

"Oh... that?" Hyuga Yoru nodded, the image of that ferocious and powerful green skeleton flashing through his mind:

"It's truly impressive. This is the first time I've ever witnessed such a perfect technique that combines offense and defense."

"Hahaha, our Uchiha Sharingan is indeed the strongest..." Xia Xi said with a smile, her eyes narrowed into slits and her chin almost pointing to the sky.

Hyuga Yoru couldn't help but chuckle. Although many people in the village thought the Uchiha were somewhat arrogant, he felt they were a good bunch, openly taking pride in their clan and being an indispensable force for the village.

Family, village...

The nine-year-old boy suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and felt a pang of unease.

He stood up, gave a few perfunctory words, and left the Konoha camp. Not knowing where to go, he simply ran wildly in a certain direction.

Half an hour later, he sat down under a big tree, panting, took off his headband, and stared blankly at the Leaf Village emblem on it.

Snapped--

He slapped himself.

"What a bastard! Why didn't he tell the captain about that man... Hyuga Yoru, are you betraying the village?"

The boy muttered to himself, biting his lip tightly, oblivious to the blood flowing down his face.

Even he didn't know why he had concealed the information that the man had appeared on the battlefield.

Clan ties? Don't be ridiculous! That bastard not only took the lives of over 90% of his clansmen, but also killed my parents. I wish I could tear him to pieces!

Unsure of the accuracy of the information, so they dared not report it? No, that doesn't make sense either. Although I am still young, I am a Chunin Hyuga who has joined the Anbu. There is no way I could mistake the Byakugan!

Why is that? Hyuga Yoru, what is the true reason in your heart...?

"Are you crying?"

In the depths of the silent forest, a clear voice suddenly appeared in the boy's ears.

Hinata Yoru suddenly looked up and saw a long-haired man standing at the top of a tree, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Sneaking out is a serious violation of military discipline, but you're lucky. I'm not a gossipy man."

Hyuga Yuto lowered his head, looking down at the nine-year-old boy, his tone playful:

"Speaking of which, you actually didn't reveal my whereabouts to Konoha... Is my name Hyuga Yoruichi?"

The young man chuckled softly, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

"As expected of someone with the surname Hyuga."
