My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 240 Entering the Urn

The largest courtyard on West Garden Street has now been transformed into a square office building.

The white paper fluttered down the window and into the room, where it rustled and formed the image of a purple-haired woman.

"Lord Yuto, is that guy really going to assassinate Aoi-chan?"

"Wealth can move people's hearts. Don't underestimate the power of money. If someone throws out a mountain of gold, even I would go into god mode to work for him... Making money is nothing to be ashamed of."

Xiao Nan chuckled, and the ornaments on the parasol jingled like wind chimes.

"I thought you were going to turn into a robber."

"How could that be? I've always considered myself a conservative, and reasonable rules should of course be followed." Hyuga Yuto glanced at the purple-haired woman.

"How's that kid A-Jing doing?"

"He's been all the rage lately, a supernova who's shocked Garden City! I heard a lot of people are chanting 'Restore the glory of the Vortex!'"

"You can't say that, you know..." Hinata Yuto stopped mid-sentence, suddenly pausing:

"Did you buy tangerines?"

"No... Oh, it might be perfume." Konan took out a small bottle, dripped the liquid inside onto her wrist, and held it under Hyuga Yuto's nose:

"I just bought it outside. You're amazing, Yuto-sama! You can smell it even through the glass bottle."

"You're flattering me way too much." Hyuga Yuto turned his head, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but think of Tsunade, who exuded a faint citrus scent.

Feeling somewhat irritated, Hyuga Yuto put down the scroll:

"Come out for a walk with me. The last time I was here was three years ago. I remember there was a husband-and-wife shop that sold really delicious sliced ​​fresh seafood."

"Yes, but... Lord Yuto, what if that guy tries to assassinate Aoi while we're not around?"

"I left behind a sensory barrier, and he killed the person I was protecting. Who does he think he is? Hashirama Senju?"

Xiao Nan felt relieved, and holding her floral umbrella, she followed behind the young man.

She moved with a light step, and whenever she encountered a cracked cobblestone path, she would jump up with great interest.

However, from beginning to end, Konan remained half a body length behind Hyuga Yuto, without ever overtaking him.

"You seem very happy." Hyuga Yuto stopped in front of a jewelry stall, browsing and picking through items, thinking of buying some trinkets to secretly send to Tsunade.

"If the Akatsuki subordinates saw this, they'd be utterly astonished."

The purple-haired woman pursed her lips, looking somewhat nervous, and said:

"Lord Yuto, how rude of me..."

"No, quite the opposite." Hyuga Yuto picked up a hairpin inlaid with red agate, held it up to Konan's head, and chuckled:

"The purpose of the sun is to make flowers bloom."

The style is nice, and the quality is quite good too...

Hyuga Yuto nodded in satisfaction, having bought the flower hairpin, intending to give it to Tsunade the next time he saw her.

However, he didn't see that Xiao Nan was looking at him with a strange expression.

Is he complaining that giving gifts on the street lacks a sense of ceremony? Yuto-sama wouldn't be waiting for a special day to give it to me, would he? He wouldn't... wait, wait, wait, that's impossible! I've never heard of Yuto-sama ever liking a woman.

But... he seems to be twenty-two now? Has he finally seen the light? Does he need it?

So, buying the flower hairpin in front of me was a test of my reaction? If I don't show obvious displeasure, Lord Yuto will find an opportunity...

Xiao Nan awkwardly twirled the parasol and rubbed her cheeks:

"Lord Yuto, you..." She hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bring herself to ask, and could only say dryly:

"You're really good with words."

"I honed that skill when I was the head of the Anbu. The higher-ups in Konoha are all very good with words, and over time I learned it too." Hyuga Yuto wrapped up the flower hairpin and continued walking forward.

"Xiao Nan, why are you always carrying an umbrella this time?"

The purple-haired woman was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Hyuga Yuto call her name, and she jumped in fright:

"I'm so sorry! Lord Yuto, I really can't... uh? Umbrella?" She suddenly realized, and awkwardly dug her toes into the ground:

"It's too sunny."

"what?"

"It's just that the ultraviolet rays are too strong." Xiao Nan cleared her throat, putting aside her chaotic emotions, and said seriously:

"I was born and raised in the land of rain. Except when I'm out on missions, I rarely see the sun, so my skin is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays, and I get rashes after a while."

"That's true, the sunlight is indeed very strong in coastal cities."

"Actually, Lord Yuto, it's better to have a place with plenty of sunshine. At least crops are easier to grow there. The Land of Rain is rainy all year round, and there are only a few places where food can be produced. It can't support everyone, and the money spent on purchasing food every month is a huge expense."

"Rest assured, one day, when I have mastered that power, the sun will shine on the land of the Rain Kingdom as well."

"Lord Yuto, I am willing to die for this ideal."

"Say that again... Don't even mention you, I could be hacked to death by the ninja world too." The young man turned around and said with a grin:

"However, for a ninja, no matter the outcome, it is enough to walk on their ninja way with their heads held high at the moment of death... Dying with unfinished regrets is also a kind of romance."

The purple-haired woman stopped and stared blankly at the tall young man.

He walked among the crowd, yet remained utterly alone. He was a rebel, a man who ushered in a new era, a leader, and a man destined to be recorded in the history of the ninja world as a legend…

Such a person will never have companions; besides strength, only loneliness will accompany him throughout his life.

Fine, I'll just consider it a sacrifice for my ideals...

Xiao Nan steeled herself and blurted out:

"Lord Yuto, if you really wish..."

"Hmm? Wait, don't speak yet." Hyuga Yuto made a shushing gesture:

"The barrier is reacting... Heh, they're really efficient at getting things done after taking the money!"

He vanished in an instant, and even Xiao Nan couldn't see how he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

The purple-haired woman stomped her foot heavily and returned the way she came.

She was genuinely afraid that Hinata Yuto would just pull out both of her hearts without saying a word.

……

The largest courtyard on West Street in Garden City.

The masked man stood in the shadows, his presence blending seamlessly with his surroundings.

"Tower Merchant Guild...A-Jing." Closing the scroll, the man formed hand seals and used some kind of reconnaissance ninjutsu. Although it wasn't his forte, he executed it perfectly.

"The target is in the third room on the left. The other rooms are empty... but there's a perception barrier." After calculating the distance, the man almost laughed out loud.

Three seconds! I only need three seconds to break through the barrier, find the target, and kill the target! The ninja protecting the target is too arrogant. Even if he could sense it, he wouldn't be able to come back in time, at least not in time to save him from me.

So arrogant... Do you think you're Hashirama Senju?
