My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 255 One Heart

When Orochimaru returned to the Hokage Building, his expression was quite unpleasant—he already had a cold and gloomy look, and now his face was even longer, his golden snake eyes radiating a dangerous light, as if he were about to bite someone at any moment.

In fact, Orochimaru's mood was worse than it appeared.

"We need to summon Tsunade back to the village. The Third Hokage can no longer stay on the front lines. The village needs a strong leader to oversee it."

"Yes, Lord Hokage," Shisui replied after bowing.

"But if the Third Hokage also returns to the village, what if the battlefield with the Land of Water...?"

"We can't worry about that now. Kirigakure is far less of a threat than Hyuga Yuto and Uchiha Obito." Orochimaru rubbed his temples, somewhat hesitant.

"Shisui, I will call Shimura Danzo to this office in a moment. Take this opportunity to have all the members of Root placed under house arrest. If they resist... execute them on the spot."

"...Yes, sir." Shisui pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Hokage, do you believe that Elder Danzo switched the Fourth Hokage's flesh and blood?"

"Not necessarily, but whether it was the Nine-Tails' attack and the Crimson Night six years ago, the execution of Obito Uchiha two years ago, or today's attack on the village by the Yu organization, he and his subordinates haven't shown up. They're definitely not a destabilizing factor," Orochimaru said calmly.

"We'll discuss Danzo's matter when the Third Hokage returns."

"Yes."

"Also, Shisui, tonight you handle all the village affairs, and I'm going to examine the flesh and blood of the past Hokage. If our opponents are those two, we can't afford to lose the power of the Impure World Reincarnation."

……

Two days later, in Amegakure.

"Sigh... I've really been tricked."

Setting aside the intelligence in his hand, Hyuga Yuto said to Konan beside him:

"Without knowing who the flesh and blood in his hands belong to, it's highly unlikely that Orochimaru would risk using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"It's alright, Lord Yuto, Konoha is just barely clinging to life."

"You're getting better and better at talking... Where's Tachibana Yuugi?"

"Still at the experimental base."

"Call him over to see me, I have something to discuss. Oh, by the way, you don't need to come up with him."

"Yes."

The purple-haired woman vanished as a piece of paper. Not long after, Tachibana Yuugen climbed the tower and came up behind Hinata Yuuto.

"Yūgen." Hyuga Yuto scratched his head and said hesitantly:

"You don't need to stay in Amegakure for a while. Go and enjoy whatever you want to eat or do. Sigh, speaking of which, I really don't know what you like..."

The Thousand Hands clone was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

His face was flushed, his breathing was heavy, his voice trembled, and he kept swallowing excitedly.

"My true self, has that day finally come? I'm returning to your body..."

"Yes, the bloodline power of the four of you has been developed very well. Now is the best time to devour it."

"A brilliant decision!" Tachibana Yuuki jumped up and down, gesturing wildly.

"Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are still just children. Indra and Ashura's power hasn't even manifested yet. If you obtain the pure Otsutsuki bloodline, who in the entire ninja world can stop you? Even if the Sage of Six Paths personally intervenes, you can still put up a fight against him!"

"Don't get too excited. Go out and relax. Before I devour you, you can..." Hyuga Yuto patted the Senju clone on the shoulder.

Tachibana Yuuki shook his head and said with a grin:

"Main body, I know you may feel indebted to me, but even you cannot understand the feelings of us, the separated avatars." He paused, his tone extremely serious:

"To be eaten by you is my greatest dream."

"You don't care about freedom and individual will at all... I always thought that there would be a similar... [heart] between you and me."

"Why would you think that way? You are you, and I am me. To give a somewhat inappropriate example, would a father and son have completely identical personalities? Of course, their sexual orientation would definitely be the same, haha..."

Hyuga Yuto nodded, said nothing more, and lay down on his back.

A few streaks of starlight pierced through the dark clouds above the Land of Rain, passing right through his fingers. Hyuga Yuto reached out and gently clenched his fist, as if he had grasped everything in his hands.

……

Uchiha Shisui yawned, rubbed his shoulder, and came out of the Hokage Building. After walking a few steps, he saw the white-haired girl who was familiar to him to the core.

"Liuli, what are you doing here so late?"

"Just got back from the interrogation department." Mochizuki Ruri tilted her head, her expression playful and lively like a deer.

"Shall we go play in the woods for a while?"

"You're the one who said that," Uchiha Shisui said, chuckling as he tapped the girl's head.

"Just say you want me to teach you how to throw a shuriken."

"You Uchiha lords, isn't shurikenjutsu just a toy for you?"

"You can't say that, there are many tricks to it..."

As they talked, they walked further and further away until they walked out of the renovated village gate and arrived at the original training ground of the Ninth Class.

Clang, clang, clang—various hidden weapons flew and collided in the night sky, constantly scattering fleeting sparks. Both of them were undoubtedly masters; they could multitask while feeding each other tips, chatting as they threw the weapons.

"Shisui, what did the Third Hokage say?"

"He trusted Elder Danzo very much, believing that although this man was somewhat selfish, he would not go so far as to switch out the flesh and blood to revive Obito."

"They were in the same squad when they were young, just like us, and we have a deep bond, so of course they would say that."

"Ruri, do you think it was the bonds that influenced the Third Hokage's judgment...?"

"It's just speculation. Anyone who has the opportunity to know the burial places of the past Hokage cannot be ruled out as a suspect... Ha, you and I are also suspects."

"They didn't give you any trouble in the interrogation room today, did they?"

"No, everyone in Konoha knows that you are my support." Mochizuki Ruri threw out all the kunai in her hand, wiped her sweat, and sat on the tall tree trunk.

"Liuli, let's go back."

"No, I want to practice a little longer."

"Then I'm leaving. You know, with Chief Fugaku dead, the Uchiha clan needs me right now."

"Alright, alright, you're a very busy person." The white-haired girl waved her hand and smiled as she bid farewell to Zhishui.

The boy looked up and saw a hazy glow enveloping the girl, making her incredibly beautiful—his eyesight had deteriorated significantly due to the frequent use of the kaleidoscope recently, and he could no longer see things clearly.

Of course, no matter what, Liuli is still so beautiful.

Thinking this, Uchiha Shisui picked up the fragments of the hidden weapon that had fallen to the ground, turned around and returned to the village.

In the silent forest, only the moon-gazing glass lies supine on the tree.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the girl. She suddenly raised her hand and clenched it tightly. Because she gripped it so hard, the veins on her fair skin bulged, like a drowning person grabbing onto dry grass.
