My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 246 The Attack of the Ghost Organization

Uchiha Itachi leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting. Hyuga Yoru squatted behind him, bored, activating his Byakugan every now and then.

This was the third day of Konoha's increased security. Itachi Uchiha and Yoru Hyuga had grown accustomed to their daily patrols, but this morning, Anbu Chief Shisui Uchiha summoned them to his office and gave them a secret mission—

"Lord Jiraiya is scheduled to return to Konoha today. He has difficulty moving around, so please go to the south side of the village to meet him."

Itachi and Yoru accepted the order and waited there. Before they knew it, the sun was high in the sky, and it was already noon.

Jiraiya still hasn't appeared.

"Itachi-kun." Hyuga Yoru activated his Byakugan with one hand seal, but the area around him was still deserted. He frowned and said:

"Should we go ahead and take a look? Lord Jiraiya's legs are weak; what if we encounter enemies on the way..."

"Even in a wheelchair, he is one of the Legendary Sannin. Even if he were attacked, it's impossible for him to be unable to send a signal. Let's wait a little longer, Night Lord."

"Alright, I'll do as you say, hmm? Wait a minute..." Hyuga Yoru's eye twitched, and the veins on his forehead bulged even more menacingly.

"At 11 o'clock, 860 meters away, there's someone! So fast, a pro!"

With a whoosh, Itachi Uchiha vanished in an instant, and Yoru Hyuga immediately followed, popping a soldier's ration pill into his mouth.

In just a few breaths, they caught up with the uninvited guests.

Wearing a scarlet robe, a dark mask, and wielding a large scythe with three blood-red blades, you can tell from his appearance that he is a member of the Ghost Organization!

"Hmm? They actually dared to follow." Hidan chuckled, removing his dark mask and casually crushing it.

"If I want to spread the name of the evil god throughout the world, I, as a believer, cannot hide my identity."

He stopped, slung the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe over his shoulder, and smiled wickedly:

"No wonder you're so bold, you're just a brat from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans... Ha!"

Hidan let out a strange cry, stomping a small crater in the ground, and instantly rushed to Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi's side. His giant scythe tore through the air, intending to cut them in two in one go.

However, to his surprise, both of the kids opposite him dodged his attacks.

Because of their exceptional eyesight, both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans are highly skilled in taijutsu. After dodging the scythe, the two Konoha ninjas simultaneously lunged forward, the three of them less than half a meter apart.

Hyuga Yoru crouched low and threw a punch at Hidan's groin. Chakra surged and flowed beneath his skin, capable of utterly destroying the enemy's vitals upon contact.

Uchiha Itachi then leaped into the air, using his powerful control to spin his body while simultaneously flicking out the kunai he had been holding in his palm, aiming it at Hidan's heart.

Judging from the speed he displayed during the enemy's surprise attack, he was a ninja who was very skilled in taijutsu and could definitely dodge their counterattack. Both Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi understood this.

Therefore, neither boy felt that their attack would land, and they had already thought of the next battle plan in their minds. As long as the enemy blocked or dodged, what awaited them was a series of fierce combos!

However, Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi never expected that their opponent was a madman.

Hidan neither blocked nor dodged; instead, he bent his arm, retracted the scythe, and twisted his waist, the blade flashing coldly in the air as it slashed towards the two boys.

—He actually wanted to trade his life for his injuries!

"What a madman..." Hyuga Yoru's eyes flashed with a cold light. He tensed his back muscles, ready to withstand the scythe and strike the enemy's vitals with his fist.

However, in that split second, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—was this guy really a madman? Facing the Hyuga and Uchiha, he deliberately chose to fight them both in close combat, and now he's even enduring fatal injuries to wield a scythe… Is it possible that this is his tactic? Trading his life for injury means he won't die, but we're the ones who are doomed?

"retreat!"

Uchiha Itachi's loud shout rang in Hyuga Yoru's ears. Without hesitation, Hyuga Yoru, who had already sensed something was wrong, lowered his center of gravity and dodged the scythe.

"Hmph..." Hidan frowned, and just as he was about to make another move, he found that the two Konoha brats had already distanced themselves from him.

He looked down and saw the bloodstains on his chest, while a sharp pain shot through his legs, which were probably covered in bruises.

Although Itachi Uchiha and Yoru Hyuga chose to retreat temporarily, they both managed to "earn some interest" at the last moment.

"Two damned brats." Hidan stretched, pulled out the chain from the back of his scythe, and licked his teeth hard until his mouth was covered in blood.

"You must be killed!"

In terms of taijutsu alone, Hidan was stronger than Itachi Uchiha and Yoru Hyuga at the same age, but he made the mistake of underestimating his opponents and not taking these two boys, who were around ten years old, seriously, and thus suffered a loss in the first round of combat.

Hidan was confident he could kill the two men one by one in the upcoming battle.

boom!

The sound of footsteps echoed again. Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi did not rush towards the enemy, but instead retreated simultaneously, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? Wait! You brat..." Hidan stamped his feet in frustration and chased after them desperately, but his injured leg slowed him down. The fanatic of the Jashin cult could only stop in the end, staring fiercely at the direction where Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi had disappeared.

The dense forest receded rapidly behind them. With both Byakugan and Sharingan activated, the two boys ran for a long time before gradually slowing down.

"He didn't chase after us," Hinata Yoru said, exhaling a breath of relief, still shaken.

"What a pity, we didn't get to test his abilities... Could he have a way to make us bleed uncontrollably? Or was that scythe poisoned?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and said:

"Not only that, he's not even afraid of fatal injuries. Let's hand over this person's information to the village. The Ghost Organization is attacking, and our duty is to give them early warnings."

"Alright, Itachi-kun, you go back to the village now, I'll go find Jiraiya-sama... Heh? We're so lucky, I saw him!"

Hyuga Yoru pulled Uchiha Itachi along and ran in a certain direction.

After running several hundred meters, a middle-aged man with white hair sitting in a wheelchair came into view.

"You must be Itachi and Yoru, young talents! Here, this is a gift, my book 'Intimate Violence,' a collector's illustrated edition, hahaha..."

Jiraiya laughed heartily, and even in a wheelchair, his shoulders remained broad.

Amidst the laughter, Hyuga Yoru licked his lips and noticed that his back was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Because of Hidan, Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi were constantly in a state of battle, meaning that "the Byakugan and Sharingan were constantly operating at overcapacity!"

Under normal circumstances, one should not activate the Byakugan or Sharingan when welcoming a senior member of the village like Jiraiya, as this would be considered spying on him and extremely disrespectful.

However, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Hyuga Yoru and Uchiha Itachi only managed to deactivate their bloodline limit organs when they were close to Jiraiya.

Then, Hyuga saw something unusual—under the thick blanket, Jiraiya's legs were completely intact, and his blood vessels and meridians were extremely healthy, even very strong!

What's going on...?

Hyuga Yoru was a little confused, but Uchiha Itachi stepped forward and respectfully accepted the two books.

"Take it. You said you really needed this last time." Uchiha Itachi turned around, stuffed "Intimate Violence" into Hyuga Yoru's hand, and gave him a very subtle wink.

The Sharingan can see the color of chakra, and Itachi Uchiha also noticed Jiraiya's abnormality.

"Hey? Don't expose my weakness now, I've admired Jiraiya-sama since I was a kid..." Hyuga Yoru realized what was happening and casually patted his companion.

Their hands touched briefly before parting.

Hyuga Yoru could feel that Uchiha Itachi's palms were also covered in sweat.
