My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 55 First Merit

Hyuga Yuto stood on a thin branch of a large tree, and there was nothing unusual in his Byakugan vision.

He quickly left the place and ran forward, leaping over each kilometer and then lightly scratching the tree trunk with a kunai coated with a special paint.

When the main force behind sees this signal, they will know that the road is safe, or at least there is no large-scale ninja ambush.

This was the third day after the advance team left the village.

At Hyuga Yuto's speed, this time would have been enough for him to make several round trips back and forth in the Land of Fire, but at this moment, the branch family boy could only vaguely see the border of the Land of Fire.

Wars between nations and between ninja villages are not like ninja missions where ninjas simply increase their speed; that would be suicide.

The vanguard force of Konoha, led by Minato Namikaze, consisted of two parts: one for reconnaissance and the other for tactical surprise attack.

The total number of people is not large, around four hundred, but it is filled with a large number of elites.

The strategically significant Byakugan, the Sharingan with its outstanding individual combat power, the Aburame clan with its most unpredictable and bizarre attack methods, the Inuzuka clan skilled in tracking, and those commoner ninjas who have mastered unique ninjutsu...

The Hyuga clan alone deployed three Jonin, including Hyuga Yuto, to the advance force.

Although the Hyuga clan deployed more combat power in the main force led by Orochimaru, proportionally speaking, the vanguard ninjas were more elite, with almost no genin present.

After all, the advance force's mission is to gather intelligence and eliminate spies, which will inevitably involve clashes with the enemy's elite forces. If Minato Namikaze's side encounters problems, Orochimaru's main force will also suffer.

Hyuga Yuto's mission was to act as the spearhead of the spearhead, scouting ahead at the two o'clock position. In addition to him, there were also skilled scouts in each direction. He remembered that the one o'clock position was being scouted by a Jonin from the Uchiha clan.

Although Minato Namikaze was young, he was very methodical in his work. The advance force of four hundred men, none of whom were easy to deal with, were all managed to be obedient by him, and there were no major problems during the march.

"Yuuto..."

Just as Hinata Yuto was leaning against the big tree, a voice suddenly rang out beside him.

He turned around and saw Minato Namikaze holding a specially made kunai with a handle engraved with a magic technique, smiling broadly at him.

—As the vanguard of the advance team, the eight people, including Hyuga Yuto, all carried Flying Thunder God Kunai with them.

Minato Namikaze used the incredible power of space-time ninjutsu to traverse the entire route, which was one of the key reasons he was able to control his subordinates.

"Commander." Hyuga Yuto straightened up.

Minato Namikaze chuckled and nudged Yuto's shoulder with his fist:

"Pretty impressive, Yuto. Your chakra is very calm, not at all like someone going on their first mission."

"After all, we haven't encountered the enemy yet."

"It'll be soon." Minato Namikaze pointed ahead, to a dense forest that stretched across the border:

"We've reached the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water. Given the nature of those guys from Kumogakure, an ambush could happen at any moment. Slow down a bit, Yuto. You must maintain an appropriate support distance from the advance team."

"Isn't there still you, Commander?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head with a wry smile:

"The Flying Thunder God Technique isn't omnipotent either. I don't know exactly what you went through... Yuto, rest for a while, and we'll set off again in a minute."

"Yes, sir."

Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot and instantly reappeared beside another Konoha Jonin, some distance away.

Hyuga Yuto was a little envious. Space-time ninjutsu was a truly advanced technique, and mastering any one of them could be a source of fame in the ninja world.

If Minato Namikaze were a little more unscrupulous, he could have easily inscribed spells around his enemies and harassed them relentlessly from day to night.

Imagine this: you're happily eating oden and singing, and suddenly a handsome man teleports behind you, unleashes a Rasengan right in front of you, and disappears immediately afterward. Even if you're not killed on the spot, constantly having to be on guard like that will exhaust you to death.

Even if Minato Namikaze can't defeat the enemy now, he can always escape if he wants to, making him almost invincible. The only way to kill him is to lure him into a deadly trap.

Hyuga Yuto sighed inwardly, stretched his ankles, and prepared to set off again.

In the past few days, Hyuga Yuto has also noticed that the morale of the Konoha troops is quite high. Although many ninjas are nervous or even fearful, in general, the vast majority of ninjas believe that the final victory will belong to Konoha and the Land of Fire.

This judgment is reasonable and well-founded. The Land of Fire occupies the most fertile land in the world, has the largest population and the most developed economy, and its supplies and tactical equipment are far superior to those of other major powers.

More importantly, Konoha at this time had too many Kage-level ninjas.

There were six of them: Hiruzen Sarutobi at his peak, the three legendary Sannin in their prime, Danzo Shimura, and Minato Namikaze.

If things really get heated, Kushina Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Releasing the Tailed Beast is a super move that can kill both the enemy and ourselves. Moreover, if it really comes down to the point of destroying the village and the country, Konoha will definitely use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the strong. Let's just get to the bottom of this first.

As for whether or not to use magic, or whether or not to disturb the dead... when death's blade is truly threatening one's head, there are naturally fewer moral guardians.

Now, no one could have imagined that this war would last for three whole years, that so many powerful people would die, and that so many major events would happen that would affect the entire world.

As Hyuga Yuto drifted off into thought, a minute had passed.

He strictly followed Minato Namikaze's orders, carved another coded message on the tree where he was resting, and then sprinted forward.

This time, Hinata Yuto was much more careful.

The closer you get to the border, the more dangerous it becomes. The Hidden Cloud Village is known for its martial spirit, and its people often act with a somewhat reckless nature. You have to be careful when you're your opponent.

With his Byakugan never closed, Hyuga Yuto crossed the border.

boom!

"Ha...so you really are launching a sneak attack on the border...no wonder you're called the Thunder Barbarians..."

Hyuga Yuto dodged the attack from the enemy that burst forth from underground, laughing mockingly.

However, although he appeared relaxed and arrogant, he was actually very cautious. The location where this group of Cloud Village ninjas infiltrated underground was very appropriate, right at the edge of the Byakugan, indicating that they were definitely prepared.

"Tactics against Konoha's advance force..."

The boy who had separated from his family landed on the ground, striking the center of the enemy's encirclement like a heavy hammer blow.

He tore off the wide sleeve of his right arm, revealing black bandages wrapped around the entire arm.

"One, two, three, four, five... seven heads of Cloud Village people, as the first merit, it's not bad to have them."
