My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 40 The Solution

The next morning, in the back mountain of the Thousand Hands tribe.

Hyuga Yuto sat on the smooth bluestone slab, eating the rice balls and dried meat that Tsunade had brought him, and occasionally taking a sip of hot fish soup.

He's only thirteen years old, the age when "a half-grown boy can eat his father to death," and being a ninja, he has an enormous appetite. When Shizune saw the food box was empty, her eyes widened, staring at Hyuga Yuto as if she'd seen a rare animal.

"You...you're not going to turn into a balloon and pop out of nowhere, are you?"

"How is that possible?" The boy from the separated family touched his stomach.

"I'm not stupid. If I'm full, I definitely won't eat anymore." He paused, then asked curiously:

"The teacher is a master of ninjutsu, so his appetite should be even greater than mine."

Tsunade, who was fiddling with her hair nearby, glared at him:

"It's very rude of you to comment on a lady's appetite."

While they were talking, Hyuga Yuto had finished his meal and let out a long sigh of relief:

"I'm ready... Hmm, seven-tenths full, the perfect state for cultivation."

Jingyin picked up the food box and, because she had to go to school, skipped and hopped down the mountain without dawdling.

Tsunade glanced at her female disciple and suddenly sighed:

"You're only a year older than Shizune, but you're so much more mature..."

Hyuga Yuto stood up without answering, stepped back, and started moving his wrists and neck, removing the bandages as he did so.

The blonde woman chuckled.

"Pretty cautious, huh? Don't worry, I won't sneak up on you..." She beckoned to her apprentice with her finger.

"Come on, use that spell on me."

"Teacher..." Hinata Yuto's expression was very serious:

"Getting hit hard can really kill you."

"You won't die from eating rice balls, do you think I'm stupid enough to stubbornly endure it?" The blonde woman stepped back.

"Come here, my lovely disciple. At your current level, you're a hundred years too early to kill your teacher."

That makes sense, Hyuga Yuto thought. With the Hundred Healings Seal, he could unleash "Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth," whose recovery ability was second to none in the ninja world. He had so much health that he didn't have to worry about anything.

The heat rose from the back mountain, the leaves instantly lost moisture and turned yellow, and as the high temperature descended, fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Tsunade's neck and cheeks.

The "prelude" alone nearly set the forest ablaze.

"Oh no, the power of this technique is beyond my expectations..." This thought flashed through the blonde woman's mind. Without being careless, she pricked her fingertip with her teeth and slammed her hands on the ground.

"A Rashomon-like situation!"

boom!

A massive door appeared amidst the mountains and forests, thick and rugged, like a small hill standing horizontally, with hideous ghost faces painted on it, inspiring fear in those who saw it.

"Lion Fang..." Hyuga Yuto murmured, charging straight forward:

"Bite it down!"

He crashed into the very center of Rashomon, which had been summoned by spirits, and the massive shockwave snapped all the surrounding trees in half.

With a loud bang, Rashomon was completely smashed through, and the edges of the hole were filled with molten metal.

Hyuga Yuto swayed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Tsunade, slapping the blonde woman's abdomen with his right hand.

Carrying the lingering power of "Lion's Fang Bite," he crashed into more than ten large trees before finally stopping.

"I was too presumptuous. I shouldn't have tried to experience this technique with my body," Tsunade thought to herself, but she forced a smile and said:

"That's enough... Yuto."

As his chakra dissipated, Hyuga Yuto quickly stopped after hearing his teacher's words.

Tsunade's clothes were torn at the abdomen, revealing her fair skin, on which the mark of Hyuga Yuto's hand could be clearly seen.

"Pretty impressive, Yuto." Tsunade looked at the pierced Rashomon gate, then carefully examined her own injuries:

"While the high temperature and fangs are cool, the real destructive power of this technique comes from the high-speed flow of chakra. Unlike the Rasengan's rotation around the center, your technique is more complex, with many small vortices and mini hurricanes in opposite directions... Hiss."

Upon touching the bruise, the blonde woman frowned and gasped.

"His internal organs were also destroyed... It felt like a blunt force strike from Earth Release, and the way it cleaved through the air was similar to Lightning Release... Seriously, it still has this kind of power after breaking through Rashomon. An ordinary Jonin would definitely die if he took this hit, and most defensive ninjutsu would be helpless against it."

"Great technique, very suitable for you, but it also has some shortcomings."

"Your arm is probably hard to lift now. This technique puts too much strain on the caster. It deserves its S-rank status, but it is also classified as a forbidden technique."

The blonde woman rubbed her lower abdomen, her fair skin bearing burn and wind-slashed scars, beneath which lay the blood pooling from her internal organs.

While experiencing the power of the "Lion's Tooth Bite," she was also thinking about how to resolve this side effect.

Tsunade is not a masochist. Her purpose in having Hyuga Yuto injure her was to better understand this technique.

The reason why Lion's Tooth Bite can cause such great trauma to the caster is simply that while destroying the enemy's body, it also attacks the caster in the same way. The only difference between the two is the intensity, but the principle of killing is the same.

Only by experiencing the same trauma as the practitioner can a perfect solution be developed for this burden.

However, the blonde woman was still shaken. The moment Hyuga Yuto's palm touched her abdomen, she almost instinctively retaliated. Tsunade understood that this was a physical reflex developed over years of battle, which meant something terrible—just now, Hyuga Yuto had a real chance to "bite" her waist off.

Yuto... held back at the last moment. Tsunade glanced at Hyuga Yuto and thought to herself that this disciple was quite reliable and knew how to prioritize.

While treating her abdominal injuries, she pondered how to eliminate the terrible side effects of the procedure.

The best method, of course, is to add a "membrane" between the torso and the outward chakra, separating the two and blocking the violent chakra from harming oneself. However, this would greatly shorten the duration of Lion's Fang Bite, or even cause it to break at the slightest touch, since this protective membrane would also isolate Yuto's chakra.

"One-way transport of bodily fluids," Tsunade suddenly thought of this term, which could both transport chakra and shield the power of destruction...

To her knowledge, no physical material in the world possesses this property.

If we're being honest, a slug could actually do the job—wrap a slug around your arm before using this ninjutsu. Slugs are immune to physical attacks, and as summoning beasts, they can transfer chakra, thus isolating you from damage without hindering chakra transfer. But no matter what, having a slug do this is just too impolite... Moreover, the preparation time is too long, making it unsuitable for the ever-changing and complex situations in ninja battles.

The blonde woman touched her forehead in distress, then suddenly froze.

Although she couldn't touch it, this action reminded her of the "Hundred Healings Mark" on her forehead.

She suddenly understood.

There is no need for shielding, confrontation, or blocking; there is a gentler way to eliminate this harm.
