My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 5 Village Clan

One day later.

Hyuga Yuto stopped running and slowly walked out of the forest.

Ahead lies a vast flat area, where a dense cluster of buildings sits. Behind the buildings, a massive rock face lies silently, upon which stand three enormous human-faced statues.

This is Konoha.

The Hidden Village of the Land of Fire is one of the world's "Five Extremes," and for most of the time, Konoha was the most powerful overlord in the world!

Hinata Yuto calmly looked at the village gate and walked slowly towards it.

When the Chunin on duty guarding the village saw him, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

The Land of Fire and Konoha have always had large populations, but the village is only so big. Even if you don't know everyone, you can vaguely recognize faces after living for a long time.

Moreover, in the past year, the name "Hyuga no Tama" has gradually gained some influence, and Hyuga Yuto's appearance is truly outstanding, making him easy to remember.

The architecture of Konoha Village is antique and elegant. There are not many tall buildings, but they are not backward. Electricity facilities are everywhere, the roads are wide, and the thick trees are lush and leafy. The leaves cut the sunlight and sprinkled it on people in a dappled pattern. The aroma of the shops on the street wafts in the wind, full of the lively atmosphere.

Putting aside all prejudices, even Hyuga Yuto admits that Konoha is indeed full of vitality.

In his past life, when he read manga or watched TV, he had a great fondness for Konoha. He also fantasized that if he really traveled back in time, he would definitely stand on the side of justice on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War and watch the peerless prodigies Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha fight Madara.

"A person who doesn't value their partners is the worst of the worst." This sentence made him feel passionate in his past life, so he followed the comic book without fail, accompanying that blond-haired loser.

But things didn't go as planned. After he actually transmigrated into a baby in the Naruto world, his thoughts completely changed.

—What normal person would draw a caged bird on the forehead of a life-or-death partner?

Hinata Yuto sighed silently and continued walking down the street.

Logically speaking, as a Chunin, following a Jonin out of the village on a mission, the entire team except for oneself was wiped out, which was by no means a small matter. One must report to the Hokage Building immediately, describe the entire mission process, and hand over the hard-won intelligence.

But Hinata Yuto knew he couldn't do that.

He is Hyuga Yuto, the "Hyuga Jewel, a genius of the branch family, who was instilled with the idea of ​​centering on the main family from a young age."

Upon returning to the village, the first thing he would do, of course, was to go back to the clan's territory and report to the clan chief.

Every action must conform to one's identity, and one's true will must not be revealed. With this in mind, Hyuga Yuto quickly arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory.

Unlike the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, although occupying a large area, is located not far from the center of the village. Even with the eyesight of an ordinary person, they can easily see the Hokage Building from the entrance of the clan compound.

Instead of entering through the main gate, Hyuga Yuto made several hand gestures to the Hyuga clan guards, entered a hidden passage, and headed straight for the deepest part of the clan's territory.

Having lived in the Naruto world for twelve years, Hyuga Yuto understands very well that this world is not as "sunny" as depicted in the manga, and there are too many dirty things to be especially careful about.

During this period, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans held significant influence in Konoha and enjoyed many privileges.

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would turn a blind eye to such overstepping of authority as "ninjas returning from a trip should go back to their clan's territory immediately."

The premise is that you don't go too far and embarrass the Hokage Building.

If Hyuga Yuto swaggered back to the village and went straight into the clan's territory, it would be a direct slap in the face. At best, it would be that the child was just being nosy and homesick; at worst, it would be that the Hyuga gang of ingrates didn't respect the Hokage.

Entering the clan's territory discreetly, everyone can maintain appearances and remain friendly.

Before long, Hyuga Yuto arrived outside a courtyard, knelt down, and looked down at his toes.

"Is that Yuto? Come in."

A voice came from inside the courtyard. Hyuga Yuto replied respectfully and then slowly walked into the house.

Inside the room, a young ninja dressed in a loose kimono sat quietly in the middle.

He had long hair, snow-white eyes, and slightly pursed lips that exuded an air of authority. He wasn't wearing a headband, and his forehead was smooth and without any patterns.

"Clan Chief," Hyuga Yuto said respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

The young man before them was none other than Hyuga Hiashi, who had just become the head of the Hyuga clan!

"Yuto," Hiashi Hyuga said with a smile.

"How did the mission go?"

"As for the clan chief, there were some twists and turns, but we've already obtained the information about Yunyin."

"twists and turns?"

"Yes, Sugisaki Tetsujiro-senpai, genin Sato Mahiro, Yamagata Reiro, and Hirahara Eiji all died in battle."

Hiashi Hyuga's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly:

"Even Sugisaki Tetsujiro..."

The young Hyuga clan leader sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"The world is a cruel place, I'm so happy you came back alive."

"It's all thanks to the family's excellent upbringing," Hyuga Yuto replied flawlessly.

Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Your reconnaissance team has done a great job this time, but all the other members were killed in action, leaving only you. So all the credit will go to you... The Hokage is very fair in his rewards and punishments, and he will reward you. Have you thought about what you want?"

"It's all up to the clan chief."

"That's an understatement," Hiashi Hyuga snorted.

"Even I cannot change the Hokage's mind, understand?"

"Yuuto understands!"

Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand:

"You can leave now. If the Hokage wants to reward you immediately... just keep putting it off. Anbu, the Barrier Team, positions in the Hokage Building, direct promotion to Jonin... you will be of great help to the clan in all these areas."

"You only consider the Hyuga clan and don't care about me at all?" Hyuga Yuto sneered inwardly, but outwardly he still respectfully responded and retreated away.

However, to his surprise, just as he was about to leave the house, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly said thoughtfully:

"Rumiko, Yoshihiko, Kengo... these children are almost three years old. We will hold a ceremony for them this week. You are an outstanding junior of our Hyuga clan, and I am making an exception to allow you to witness this as a guard. This is an honor bestowed upon you."

"Yuto is flattered, clan leader."

Ha... To paint a caged bird on a three-year-old child, making him a slave whose life and death are no longer in his own hands, and to witness this cruel ritual, is it a kind of grace for me, a slightly older slave...?

Hyuga Yuto pressed his tongue against his lower jaw, doing his best not to show any abnormality, and steadily walked out of Hyuga Hiashi's yard, leaving the clan's territory.

When he came out, he took a deep breath and suppressed all his emotions.

He knew that his difficult task today had only just begun.

The crazy choice to risk killing Sugisaki Tetsujiro and claim all the credit was all for the sake of the next operation.

Hyuga Yuto looked up at the Hokage Building, which stood majestically in the distance.
