My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 28 The Rain Trio

What is the greatest advantage of a time traveler?

Besides knowing the trends in world development, the most important thing is to understand the personalities of each main character!

Hypocrites, hypocrites, and schemers—no matter how well they hide themselves, they cannot escape the eyes of time travelers.

—After all, I've read the original work.

The development of the timeline may differ due to the involvement of time travelers, but the personalities of the main characters are difficult to change.

Hyuga Yuto knows very well what Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato are like inside.

At least for now, these three people are considered positive figures.

Among them, Yahiko, the founder and leader of "Akatsuki", can almost be regarded as Naruto Uzumaki without a beard! He is passionate, values ​​friendship, is persistent in pursuing his dreams, is extremely tenacious, and is also very... naive.

Hyuga Yuto knew that there was no danger in meeting these three people.

He looked at Takeda Seigen and Asano Kaoru, whose bodies were tense, and smiled slightly:

"Do you even know why I came to Amegakure? And why should I go see your leader?"

Takeda Seigen's answer contained undisguised pride:

"In recent years, no foreign ninja who has come to our Land of Rain has failed to be interested in our leader. Even assassins who come here to make money don't mind getting information about our leader... that's something more valuable than a head."

He spoke frankly and openly, with nothing to hide.

"The Akatsuki... Alright, you've convinced me." The veins on his forehead slowly subsided, and Hyuga Yuto took a few steps back, creating a reassuring distance.

"Your life is now back to you."

Takeda Seigen and Asano Kaoru both breathed a sigh of relief. That distance was far too close for the Hyuga clan, who were considered experts in close combat.

"It's great that we can solve this without fighting..." Takeda Seigen muttered, then, after being subtly pinched by Kaoru, he said seriously:

"My friend from Konoha, where would you like to meet? We can exchange radio links."

"No need for that." Hyuga Yuto shrugged.

"I can just go with you, is that convenient?"

"..." Takeda Seigen was stunned for a moment. Does this guy trust us that much? Isn't he afraid of being ambushed? Has our wish for world peace been fulfilled now?

"What? It won't work?"

"Sure, that's fine. Xun and I are heading back to base to heal our injuries. If you don't mind, come with us."

He and the woman walked into the alley, supporting each other, with Hyuga Yuto following behind, looking even more relaxed than the two in front of him.

The architecture of Amegakure is very distinctive, with towering and sharp steel buildings, while the alleys are quite narrow, with straight metal walls on both sides. The narrow passageway creates a sense of dread and puts great psychological pressure on the viewer.

They weaved through the alleys and finally entered a vast underground tunnel, where they walked for more than thirty minutes.

"Don't worry, the underground complex of Amegakure is quite large," Takeda Seigen kindly explained.

"We have a rainy season all year round here, with too much rainfall. The city's underground drainage system must be the best in the world. It has been expanding for many years, and there are many hidden places that even maintenance workers don't know about."

"Why are you hiding underground?" Hyuga Yuto asked curiously. He knew that at this time, the Akatsuki organization and Hanzo of the Salamander were on good terms and were not being targeted.

"It's not that I'm hiding..." Takeda Seigen said nonchalantly.

"The rent for ground-level properties is too expensive."

"Huh?" Hinata Yuto didn't react for a moment.

"You're a Konoha ninja, and from a prestigious clan, so it's normal that you don't know the value of daily necessities." Takeda Seigen was truly a very good-natured person, very patient in his interactions with others.

"Ninja tools cost money, medical treatment costs money, training costs money, food costs money, and publicity and battles cost even more money... Our Akatsuki is quite large now, and there are too many places to spend money. Where would we find the extra money to rent such a large plot of land? Fortunately, the village has a huge underground structure, which is very convenient here, although it's a bit like being a rat..."

Takeda Seigen suddenly groaned and shut his mouth.

—He was pinched hard by his female subordinate again.

Hinata Yuto almost laughed. This pairing was quite interesting: an honest and unassuming captain and a cold and sarcastic female subordinate. In his previous life, they were inexplicably "cozy."

He felt that this experience of financial hardship must have left a deep impression on Konan and Nagato, otherwise they wouldn't have become so corrupted and desperately exploited their working-class friend Kakuzu, developing a morbid desire to amass wealth.

As they spoke, they arrived at a steel gate.

"This is it. I sent a message to the leader on the way here, and they will be waiting for us inside."

"Them?" Hinata Yuto's tone and expression were those of a professional actor, perfectly conveying surprise and curiosity.

"Yes, on the surface we only have one leader, but in reality, all three are people worthy of our loyalty."

Takeda Seigen pushed open the steel gate and went in first with Asano Kaoru, followed by Hinata Yuto without hesitation.

Inside the door stood three young people.

The leader had orange hair, was tall, and handsome; he seemed like an upright and honest person.

Next was a young woman with purple hair; she was very pretty, but her expression was rather cold, and she had a paper flower tied in her hair.

Standing at the back was a guy with crimson hair, his head down, his long bangs covering most of his face, and others could only see his overly pale skin, nose and lips.

——Yahiko, Konan, Nagato!

"They're really young, they look only four or five years older than me..." Hyuga Yuto thought to himself, calmly observing them.

"Leader..." Takeda Seigen, supported by Asano Kaoru, walked over and addressed Yahiko:

"This is a Konoha ninja, he..."

Hyuga Yuto removed his dark goggles, revealing his pure white eyes:

"My name is Hyuga Yuto."

"Oh...the Hyuga clan? This is the first time I've seen those eyes up close," Yahiko said with a smile.

"Thank you for trusting us. You know, even in Amegakure, there are many ninjas who describe Akatsuki as rats."

"Rat won't protect civilians. I've seen what Takeda Seigen did; he's a very responsible and courageous ninja."

"Haha...uh." Takeda Seigen chuckled foolishly, once again receiving a thunderous pinch from his female subordinate.

Yahiko examined Takeda Seigen and Asano Kaoru's injuries and then sent them to receive treatment.

Inside the massive steel chamber, only the Amegakure trio and Hinata Yuto remained.

When interacting with outsiders, Yahiko usually takes full control. He coughed lightly and smiled:

"Hyuga Yuto... I know you, the genius of the Hyuga branch family, the Hyuga Jewel, and the disciple of Konoha's Tsunade."

Hyuga Yuto's expression was calm. Three months had passed since he became Tsunade's apprentice. If Akatsuki still didn't know this information, it could only mean that Konan was a good-for-nothing who did nothing but squander money.

"I never expected that Seigen would run into you. What incredible luck..." Yahiko paused, then said solemnly:

"Hyuga-kun, I would like to ask you to send a letter to one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."
