My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 45 Obstruction

"Please have a seat, everyone. Look, these are all pickled by ourselves..."

"Bring whatever you like." The man in the straw hat tossed him a money pouch, which the waiter squeezed and immediately beamed.

"Alright! Everyone, the food will be ready soon~"

He realized that the men wearing straw hats didn't want to talk to him, so he wisely left, making room for them.

After the waiter left, the group began to chat casually.

"This place is quite similar to the village... both have very thick fog."

"The Land of Waves is, after all, an island nation with high humidity."

"Once we cross the Land of Waves, we need to be careful. Although our secret base on the shore of the Land of Fire is well hidden, those guys from Konoha are not to be underestimated... They have the Byakugan and the Sharingan."

Boom, boom.

A sudden knocking sound brought the conversation to an end. The man sitting in the middle removed his straw hat, revealing his face.

"As ninjas, we must act in secrecy. Although there are few ninjas in the Land of Waves, we still need to be careful."

"Keep it secret, why don't you put your hat back on..." several subordinates thought to themselves, but they dared not actually argue, and could only lower their heads and admit their mistake.

"I apologize, Mr. Norishi Jinhachi."

"Hmm." Muli Jinba nodded gently and closed his eyes to rest.

He was of average height, wore a white headscarf, had his beard tied into several small braids, thick lips, and his left eye was covered with a black cloth. His attire was somewhat strange, but there were many strange outfits in the Naruto world, so not many people paid attention to him.

What's more striking than his attire and appearance is the large sword he carries on his back.

—I don’t know if it can be called a “knife”. It doesn’t have a sharp blade. Instead, it’s as wide as a door panel. The back of the blade is cylindrical. The blade is covered with a cover, so you can’t see what’s inside.

If you were from Kirigakure, you would know that this blade, as wide as a door, is covered with rings of explosive tags!

The man carrying this knife was also extremely famous.

Muri Jinpachi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, is the user of the Exploding Blade: Frozen Blade!

Removing his straw hat to reveal his true face was actually a helpless move by Mushishi Jinpachi. His Exploding Blade: Flying Spray was very recognizable; any ninja could recognize him at a glance, and even wearing a straw hat could not hide his identity.

As for sealing the Exploding Blade Spray with a scroll... very few members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, including Jinpachi Munashi, have done this.

To make a living with swords and to gain fame through swords, it would be an insult to the name "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist" if one could not grasp the hilt of a sword immediately.

After receiving the warning from Mureshi Jinpachi, the subordinates became much more obedient, communicating quietly with their eyes while waiting for the restaurant to serve the dishes.

"Oh, sir, please, please come in!"

However, instead of the food being served, another guest arrived.

Wearing a straw raincoat and with his head down, he came in alone from the doorway and went straight to the table next to the Hidden Mist Ninja.

The visitor had his back to them, so they couldn't see his face, but they knew he was a long-haired man.

"Look, these are all pickled by ourselves..."

The solitary visitor interrupted the waiter with his money pouch, speaking softly:

"Bring me a pot of tea, the best tea."

"Okay!"

The waiter ran out excitedly again, feeling that the guests he had met today were all exceptionally generous and frighteningly extravagant.

He was overjoyed, but the group from Kirigakure were not so relaxed.

The Kirigakure ninjas who came here with Mushishi Jinpachi were all seasoned Chunin who had experienced countless battles. Kirigakure was an even more unstable and violent group than Konoha. They had experienced more battles and were more experienced than the ninjas from other villages.

They could tell at a glance that the lone visitor's position was very delicate... extremely delicate.

The distance between the visitor and Muli Jinpachi was an extremely ambiguous five meters, just the right distance that Muli Jinpachi couldn't reach even if he took a step and swung his explosive sword, Flying Drop!

Distance is always the most important factor for close-combat ninjas, without exception.

"A master..." Several Hidden Mist ninjas quietly gripped their kunai and looked at Muri Jinpachi.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen remained calm, staring intently at the visitor, and said, word by word:

"Konoha?"

"Ah, yes."

Ask questions openly and honestly, and admit them openly and honestly.

Not concealing one's identity may be a good thing in peacetime, but in today's turbulent world, such "frankness" means irreconcilable differences!

"What a fine sword... It must be the Exploding Blade: Frozen Blade, right? It seems you are Jinpachi Munashi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"That's right, so you...?"

Before Wuli Shenba could finish speaking, the guest turned around, revealing a handsome and gentle face, and eyes as pure as white paper:

"Hyuga Yuto is just a nobody."

Is he Tsunade's disciple? This is troublesome... Jinpachi sighed inwardly. Half a year has passed since Hyuga Yuto became Tsunade's disciple, so Kirigakure's intelligence system couldn't possibly not know.

"So, why are you in the Land of Waves, Mushishige?" Hyuga Yuto asked, his expression not bad, and because he was so handsome, he even had a radiant spring breeze about him.

"Traveling far, cultivating, traveling..." Wu Li grinned, revealing rather sharp teeth:

"I can do anything, but what does that have to do with you? This isn't the Land of Fire."

"Yes, this is the Land of Waves, I know it." The young man from the branch family chuckled.

"Finding you all was really difficult, even for someone like me with my white eyes, it wasn't easy."

"Oh? So?" Mushishi Jinpachi's hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. He had honed his formidable swordsmanship for countless days and nights, giving him the confidence to reach Hyuga Yuto in a tenth of a second and deliver a fatal blow.

Hyuga Yuto seemed completely unfazed by the tension, still smiling.

"To be serious, my mission is to prevent you from entering the Land of Fire."

"I'm a very popular person." The boy from the separated family pointed to his face:

"I'm pretty good at talking and I'm quite perceptive. I'm thinking, if I could persuade you to return to the Land of Water, that would be great, since we wouldn't have to fight."

"But as you know, the bigwigs in both Konoha and Kirigakure are very cautious and intelligent. If I go back to the village and say that I persuaded you to go back, without any evidence, the higher-ups won't believe me."

"So, do me a favor, could you give me your Exploding Blade: Droplets? With this, the higher-ups in our family will trust me."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me. After all, it's a treasure of your Kirigakure. I don't like to force others. Anyway..." Hyuga Yuto paused, his tone softening as if he were whispering to a lover:

"I will take your heads and your knives back with me."

Inside the lakeside tavern, there was a deathly stillness.

After a long while, Wu Li Shenba suddenly burst into wild laughter, his voice growing louder and louder.

"Arrogant... brat!"

A massive explosion shot into the sky.
