My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 46 The Explosion of a Trapped Beast

Thanks to his experiences before transmigrating, Hinata Yuto understands one thing very well.

Often, what is written on paper cannot reflect a leader's true intentions. The emotions revealed by a leader's tone and expression are the key information that a subordinate should pay special attention to.

[Regardless of their purpose, prevent them from approaching the Land of Fire]. The mission description provides broad conditions for completion: simply stop them. Make Kirigakure back down, deceive, intimidate, negotiate... As long as these guys don't get close to the Land of Fire, the mission is complete.

But when Hyuga Yuto asked "what level you can achieve", he clearly saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were indifferent and his tone was as calm as frozen iron in winter.

—Kill those ants from the water kingdom, twist off their heads, drain their blood, and bring their heads back to me.

This is what the Third Hokage truly wanted to say.

As for why it wasn't said directly to their faces, and why the mission letter used the more mild word "prevent," it's probably because of the unique nature of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Although they share the same title, the difference in combat strength among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is actually quite significant. Some of them, without their famous swords, are merely at the level of Special Jonin, while others, such as "Suizan Fuguki," are formidable even without Samehada.

Without being able to ascertain the enemy's combat strength, he naturally wouldn't rashly issue an order to kill. After all, this was an assessment for promotion to Jonin, and it would be too wasteful to throw away the lives of potential elites. Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't do that.

As a treacherous double agent, Hyuga Yuto has a keen eye for understanding people's hearts and immediately grasped Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning.

So he spent a lot of effort searching for clues, and with the help of his Byakugan's unique reconnaissance and long-range vision abilities, he determined the location of the Kirigakure group's crossing point in the Land of Waves.

In the far-reaching vision of his White Eyes, he saw Exploding Blade: Flying Drops.

Wu Li Shenba... is a master, but he's just a master.

It can kill.

boom!

The power of the explosion was irresistible, and Hyuga Yuto didn't dare to take it head-on, retreating rapidly backward.

He was propelled more than thirty meters by the force of the explosion, his feet landing heavily on the lake surface. The water surged up in huge waves before turning into a misty drizzle.

Hyuga Yuto's clothes were soaked, and the veins around his eyes were bulging.

"Hmph..." He ripped off his charred sleeve, his expression neither happy nor sad.

"You brat!" A thunderous roar came from the side, but even faster than the sound was a large knife covered in explosive tags.

Hyuga Yuto suddenly fell backward, dodging the attack.

To Jinpachi's surprise, this arrogant and despicable Konoha ninja did not take the opportunity to create distance, but instead swung his hands back and slammed them into the lake, using the momentum to rush to his side.

Mushi Jinpachi was horrified. When it came to "fighting and killing in a narrow space," Hyuga was undoubtedly the expert, thanks to his family's academic background.

However, someone who wields a broadsword day and night would naturally have a strategy to deal with such close combat. He leaped backward at an even faster speed, his movements somewhat like a startled wildcat, and in the blink of an eye, he had once again created distance.

Instead of pursuing, Hyuga Yuto straightened up, raised his leg high, until the sole of his right foot was pointing towards the sky.

The next moment, the leg fell heavily, like a battle axe falling from the sky, the chakra almost condensing into a single point.

"Sky Guard Kick!"

The lake water, spanning a radius of 100 meters, was completely pushed out and lifted into the air, creating huge waves that crashed onto the shore, breaking trees and destroying roads.

The soft mud at the bottom of the lake was exposed.

Completely unprepared, Muri Shinpachi lost his footing and could not gain leverage in the air, so he could only fall freely.

Conversely, Hyuga Yuto used the recoil force of "Tenshu Kick" to strike again.

He dodged the large sword and punched Shinobu Shinobu in the abdomen. Because of the Tensho-kyu technique, Hyuga Yuto's chakra circulation was somewhat sluggish at this moment, and in his haste, he could only use his most proficient Gentle Fist.

But that's enough.

The branch family boy's chakra surged into the enemy's body, destroying Munashi Jinpachi's stomach almost instantly.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted from Jinpachi's mouth, staining Yuto Hyuga's chest red.

"We've won!" Hinata Yuto's heart stirred, and he raised his fingers, ready to deliver the fatal blow and sever the enemy's throat.

However, to his surprise, at that very moment, a tremendous force suddenly came from his left side.

—The talismans that Muri Jinba had attached to the sword exploded.

The tactic of inflicting heavy losses on both sides proved surprisingly effective at this moment. Both men were blown away by the explosion, flying over the lake and crashing into the rainforest on the shore.

Hyuga Yuto's blood and qi surged, but his hard training over the past six months had made him much stronger, and his control over his body and chakra was far beyond what it used to be.

He swallowed the taste of blood, adjusted his posture, and stepped into a puddle in the rainforest. Surprisingly, he wasn't injured at all.

"Something's wrong, the water is so heavy..." Hyuga Yuto's body faltered slightly. Under the Byakugan's vision, a ball of extremely dense water was spreading upwards from his legs.

Water Prison Technique!

The Hidden Mist ninjas who came with Jinpachi finally joined the battle at this moment.

As expected of an elite Chunin, his grasp of the opportunity was excellent. The moment he chose to intervene was when Hyuga Yuto landed and had the worst control over his body. If it were an ordinary Jonin, he would have been trapped by the Water Prison Technique and the situation would have immediately reversed, turning him into a lamb to the slaughter.

Unfortunately, their opponent was Hyuga Yuto.

"Revive the crisis!"

The boy from the branch family shook his hands, first dispersing the heavy water clinging to his legs, then his body spun rapidly, chakra surging wildly from his acupoints, forming an impenetrable spherical defensive shield.

Rumble...

Including the Hidden Mist ninja who used the Water Prison Technique, the four Hidden Mist Chunin who charged forward were all thrown away, flying an unknown distance.

Hyuga Yuto stopped spinning, his face pale.

After using "Tenshu-kick" and "Gaiten" in succession, his chakra was greatly depleted, and his muscles and meridians twitched with pain.

This highlights his current weakness in combat. He is only good at close-range attacks and knows almost nothing about mid- to long-range ninjutsu. When he encounters a sword master like Jinpachi Munashi, he can only fight head-on, which is too dangerous.

"Fortunately, your stomach has already been smashed..." The branch family boy sighed inwardly, focusing his attention on Jinpachi Murashi not far away.

The moment he saw the enemy clearly, Hyuga Yuto's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, Mushishi Jinpachi knelt on the ground, clutching his greatsword. He neither fled nor begged for mercy. Instead, like a desperate beast, he roared madly at Hyuga Yuto:

"Die, kid! We'll die together!"

—He wanted to completely detonate the explosive scroll of the broadsword!

Connecting the blade, the explosive roll is about 30 centimeters in diameter and about one meter long... Even excluding the mechanism and the soft cloth used to convey the explosive tags, there are at least 20,000 explosive tags!

"At this distance... with my speed, it's impossible for me to kill him before the scroll explodes," Hinata Yuto concluded.

"Brother, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out. How about this... give me the knife, then cut off your right hand, and I'll let you go..." Hyuga Yuto's figure blurred as he ran wildly backward like a madman, trying to provoke the enemy with words to buy himself time to escape.

"Hahahaha! Die! Die, all of you!"

Wu Li Shen Ba howled and roared.

A mushroom cloud, brimming with destructive power, rose from the edge of the island.
