My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 253 Who's coming with me?

"Huh? My father died right before my eyes, and it was only a single tomoe (a type of magic weapon)..."

Obito sealed his recovered right eye into a scroll and slowly walked towards the seven-year-old boy:

"Should we say you're just not naturally gifted, or that your temperament is too stable?"

Sasuke Uchiha put down Fugaku's body, pulled a kunai from his father's waist, and without saying a word, bit his lip hard, swallowing blood and tears together.

"That's quite courageous." Obito shook his head.

"To die in battle on the same day as my father is quite a story."

Two shuriken with explosive tags attached were taken out from the Kamui dimension. Even though Sasuke had activated his single tomoe, he was only seven years old. For Obito, killing him was as easy as drinking water.

However, the man in his impure state did not make a move.

Because behind him, there was an aura of killing intent that seemed to be tangible, Obito felt as if he were being tightly bound by a giant venomous python, and every muscle in his body was under considerable pressure.

Obito understood that although killing Sasuke would be as easy as drinking water, once he made a move, he would inevitably reveal some weakness. Although he possessed two life-saving techniques, "Kamui" and "Impure World Body," even the smallest weakness would be dangerous if the enemy was that man.

"You missed the best opportunity to seal me, Hokage-sama." Obito tilted his head, looking behind him, and sneered.

"You should have attacked me from behind while I was killing Uchiha Sasuke."

"Twenty years ago... no, even during the Third Shinobi World War eight years ago, you would not have hesitated to sacrifice this child to buy a precious opportunity to defeat a powerful enemy."

"You've changed so much in just two years, Hokage-sama."

The Hokage's snake-like eyes gleamed with golden light, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he were lost in thought.

"asshole!"

Just then, Sasuke let out a loud shout and charged forward with a kunai in hand. His single-tomoe Sharingan granted him enhanced perception and increased his sprinting speed. As soon as he finished speaking, he "drilled" into Obito's arms.

As expected, Sasuke passed through Obito's body.

Fugaku, your son is too reckless...

This thought arose in Orochimaru's mind.

Two years ago, when Obito wreaked havoc in Konoha, information about Kamui was made public. Anyone you randomly picked from the village could recite Kamui's characteristics by heart.

The boy's thoughts are simple and easy to understand—once Obito breaks free of his Hollowfication and kills him, the Hokage will definitely find an opportunity to deal with the enemy!

It was reckless, but it cannot be said that it was a worthless battle plan.

Orochimaru did not waste the opportunity that the seven-year-old boy had risked his life for.

The instant Sasuke left Obito's body, Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword was already hidden directly beneath Obito, and the Hokage was confident that he could deliver a lightning-fast thrust that would catch Obito off guard.

If he could capture it, even if it was an impure body, Orochimaru was somewhat confident that he could seal its soul... only the price would be high.

However, to Orochimaru's surprise, Obito did not leave his Hollowfication state.

—He never intended to fight.

"Do you think I'd make the same mistake I did two years ago, Hokage?" Obito's figure slowly disappeared into the vortex-like, distorted space.

"With my divine power, if I can't win, I can always run away..."

Orochimaru's expression darkened, and just as he was about to make a move, Obito vanished.

Once bitten, twice shy; Obito Uchiha was no fool.

In front of the police department building, which was blasted down by the explosive tags, only a seven-year-old boy who had just lost his father and a fire-wielding figure exuding a chilling killing intent remained.

Shortly after, the masked members of the Anbu landed and knelt before Orochimaru.

"Lord Hokage, a report from the front lines..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, towering flames erupted from the Hokage Building, and in less than half a second, this landmark building, which had housed five Hokage leaders, was reduced to ashes.

Having figured things out, Obito Uchiha maximized the mobility of Kamui.

Orochimaru didn't even bother with the Five-Tails in the distance. He rushed to the ruins of the Hokage Building, quickly formed several hand seals, and waited for a long time, but there was no response.

—Obito also took that Rinnegan.

……

"One more time!"

Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, and Mochizuki Ruri's White Bone Cone Forest and Kakashi's Left Eye Kamui erupted once more, heavily striking the Five-Tails.

The enormous tailed beast collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and fainted.

The three of them were relieved, and Susanoo, Bone Spikes, and Mangekyou Sharingan were deactivated one after another.

Kushina Uzumaki, whose hair had turned gray, also breathed a sigh of relief. She led the sealing team forward, intending to seal the tailed beasts into containers first, and then consider the selection of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Diamond Lockdown!" Countless golden chains lashed out from Kushina's body, binding the Five-Tails' massive form tightly.

Then, the sealing team ninjas laid the scroll flat on the ground and used synchronized hand seals to increase the power of the sealing technique, dragging the Five-Tails toward the container.

Shisui was panting heavily; the strain from Susanoo was causing him to tremble. At fifteen, he wasn't at his peak, and didn't have the vast amounts of chakra and ocular power to squander. Nevertheless, he fulfilled his duties as the head of the Anbu, continuously issuing orders:

"Kushina-senpai, I'll leave this place to you. Kakashi, Ruri, you two take your subordinates and come with me to the Hokage Building. Obito seems to have attacked there..."

"Obito?"

A clear voice rang out from the ravaged battlefield. A golden light flashed, and a long-haired youth, standing atop the Five-Tails, smiled and said to Shisui:

"Good disciple, wasn't Obito crippled by the village? How come he still has such great abilities..."

An eerie silence filled the air. The ninjas swallowed hard, their bodies tensing unconsciously, their eyes filled with wariness and deep fear.

Appearing before the Konoha ninja was none other than the world's most notorious S-rank rogue ninja, Hyuga Yuto!

"Hinata..."

The sound ripped through the air, carrying a chilling anger and hatred. Kushina Uzumaki appeared in front of Yuto Hyuga almost instantly. As she threw a punch, a massive amount of chakra tore through her skin, turning into a crimson cloak along with her flesh and blood.

"Yuuto!"

The woman's angry fist slammed into Hyuga Yuto, sending the most wicked S-rank rogue ninja flying backward. He barely stopped after a hundred meters, dusted off his tattered shirt, and said with interest:

"You can already stay conscious even with six tails. Kushina-senpai, you are very talented. As expected, Minato-senpai and you are the perfect match."

"Minato, Minato..." Kushina murmured repeatedly, enveloped in bone armor and a scarlet cloak. The violent chakra tore at her reason. Facing the enemy who killed her husband, all the love she had once had turned into boundless hatred.

The seventh tail slowly took shape.

"Minato, Minato... You are not worthy to mention my husband's name!"

"You're right." Hinata Yuto's voice was soft:

"My soul doesn't deserve rest; it will eventually drift in the boundless Asura Hell. But the principle of [upholding one's will no matter what happens] is a lesson I learned from the Fourth Hokage. If I could, I really wouldn't want to say these words in front of his widow..." He paused, then continued:

"I need the Nine-Tails. Between you and Naruto, who's coming with me?"
