My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 30 My Days in the Akatsuki

Hyuga Yuto reached out, took down the clothes hanging on the hook, touched them, and frowned.

—The weather in Amegakure is awful; my clothes are still wet even after washing them for two days.

Although he doesn't know fire-style techniques, as a ninja, drying clothes is a piece of cake. If all else fails, he can just perform a whole set of Gentle Fist in front of the wet clothes and use the wind from his punches to dry them.

However, Hyuga Yuto is quite old-fashioned in some ways. Even after transmigrating to the Naruto world, he still believes that "clothes must be air-dried naturally."

With no other option, Hyuga Yuto hung the clothes back up and changed into a trench coat—blue-black with a high collar, which was now the uniform of the Akatsuki organization.

"I'll wear these outfits more often for now... It's a bit too conspicuous to be wearing Konoha-style clothing so openly in Amegakure."

He pushed open the door, left his room, and happened to run into Takeda Seigen from next door.

"Hyuga-kun." Takeda Seigen glanced at him:

"This outfit really suits you. Handsome guys really do look good in anything..."

Hyuga Yuto smiled:

"Brother Takeda, could you please arrange for someone to send over a few more sets of clothes? I need to train every day and change my clothes daily."

"Huh? We should have dry air vents here; that's where the fire-style airflow blows through the pipes."

"I prefer it air-dried... Thank you, Takeda-kun."

"Alright." Takeda Seigen shrugged. The Akatsuki wouldn't be so stingy as to not even part with a few sets of clothes.

"Hyuga-kun, don't think I'm being long-winded, but if you let your clothes air dry in this humid climate, they might smell musty... Oh, you can ask Kaoru for some seeds and put them inside your clothes, that way they won't smell weird."

Takeda Seigen is currently the fourth-ranking member of the Akatsuki organization. Unlike the previous three leaders, he has a somewhat "motherly" feel to him, being very talkative and never stopping once he starts talking:

"Asano Kaoru has a particular fondness for collecting seeds. Even after a battle, when she's lying on the ground on the verge of death, if she sees a pretty flower bud, she'll break it off and take it home to make seed specimens..."

Hyuga Yuto smiled and took out a yellow seed:

"You and Ms. Asano are thinking the same thing. She gave me a jar a couple of days ago. It works very well to get rid of odors."

"Oh? Haha, look at me, Kaoru and I have known each other for years. We have great teamwork in everything, whether it's fighting or anything else. That's the kind of friendship forged in life-or-death situations, hahaha..."

"Just partners?" Hyuga Yuto suddenly had a mischievous urge and started teasing the honest man:

"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time... You and Ms. Asano are actually a very good match. I've never seen a female subordinate who dares to pinch her boss's waist before. You two are actually a couple, secretly dating, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey... Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, it'll cause misunderstandings." Takeda Seigen, the fourth-ranking member of Akatsuki and a veteran Jonin who had weathered many storms, suddenly turned red in the face. He looked left and right, then fled as if running away, muttering to himself as he left:

"Couples, secret relationships... honestly, they're all so boring... humph!"

Watching Takeda Seigen flee in disarray, Hyuga Yuto shook his head and continued walking forward.

To be honest, in the Naruto world, most men and women are quite innocent and devoted to each other. Their love is for life, and there is absolutely no case of them falling in love with someone else.

He skillfully navigated through various pipes and secret chambers, eventually arriving at a spacious training ground.

In the center of the training ground, a young man with red hair sat cross-legged, head bowed, as still as a lake.

Hyuga Yuto took a deep breath and moved his hands.

Today marks his tenth day in Amegakure.

Nagato Uzumaki was a very trustworthy and responsible person. He promised to help Yuto Hyuga develop new ninjutsu, and he truly did his best, spending most of his day feeding Yuto Hyuga new techniques and researching ninjutsu.

Of course, this is also related to Nagato's position in Akatsuki. The nominal leader is Yahiko, Konan is in charge of logistics and intelligence, while Nagato is not in charge of specific affairs and only appears during battles. He doesn't have much to do on weekdays except for training.

"I'm going in, Nagato..."

Hyuga Yuto murmured softly, his body stiffening.

A shallow dent instantly appeared in the steel beneath their feet.

Roar--

A thunderous roar echoed across the training ground as the branch family youths instantly rushed to Nagato's side.

He raised his right hand high, but it wasn't the Gentle Fist stance that was well-known in the ninja world.

A "armor" the size of a human head wrapped around Hyuga Yuto's right hand, like flowing water and a raging wind. The armor was shaped like the mouth of a wild beast, and there were also giant teeth that sent chills down one's spine, corresponding to Yuto's fingers.

—Lion's Tooth Bite!

Hyuga Yuto slammed his fist into Nagato's chest, a sharp explosion resounding loudly. The power of this blow was enough to shatter a boulder the size of a house!

Nagato's slightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

His deep purple eyes were rippled with concentric circles, conveying mystery, power, and a sense of superiority.

hum-

Hyuga Yuto's "Lion Fang" stopped just fifteen centimeters from Nagato's skin. He was blocked by the enormous repulsive force and could not advance even half an inch.

Bang! Nagato gently clasped his hands together, and Hyuga Yuto was blasted away, crashing directly into a wall fifty meters away. Dust billowed up, and the steel bars and concrete were all crushed. The branch family boy was deeply embedded in the wall, hissing and gasping for breath.

"Very good, Yuto-kun." Nagato Uzumaki stood up, walked to Yuto Hyuga, and his tone was full of praise:

"You lasted 0.4 seconds longer, which is an improvement from yesterday. Now I know why Tsunade took you as her apprentice... Yuto-kun, you are a person with outstanding talent, and one day you will become an amazing ninja."

"The way you're saying that... people who don't know the situation might think you're being sarcastic."

"No, Yuto-kun, an improvement of 0.4 seconds is really excellent."

Nagato pulled Hyuga Yuto up, examined his palms carefully, and sighed:

"A highly offensive ninjutsu, but unfortunately it puts a great strain on the body. Look, your muscles are already torn."

"It's alright. I know medical ninjutsu, and my teacher and I will refine this technique to reduce its harm to the body. What I need to do now is maximize its power."

"Alright, since Tsunade will be the one to finish things off, we can now unleash our full power without any reservations." Nagato nodded.

"Then let's continue... Your [Lion's Fang Bite] has the main structure of Gentle Fist, Super Strength, and Chakra Release. The Chakra Armor is inspired by Wind Release and Water Release. It's an extremely ingenious idea. Flow is power, and violent water and wind are actually not much different from steel."

"But I feel that this technique is not yet perfect."

"The principles of Wind Release and Water Release can be used as a reference, so why not try adding more elements?"

"I thought about it for a long time last night, Yuto-kun. Let's try incorporating Earth Release techniques today."

"Look, this is Earth Release: Earth Split Palm. We can imitate this method of chakra manipulation..."
