My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 69 Jade Lion Experiment Demon

"Yuto, I'm leaving. I'm counting on you here... Haha." Minato Namikaze's blond hair shone brightly in the sun, and his military uniform made him look even more heroic.

"Please don't make fun of me, Minato-senpai."

Hyuga Yuto was still dressed the same way—his right arm was wrapped in a black bandage, he wore a white robe over a dark green vest.

"I'm just a nobody, and Lord Orochimaru is here."

"Being too modest isn't a good thing." Minato Namikaze patted the boy from the branch family on the shoulder:

"The battle achievements were tallied a few days ago, and you've made so many contributions these past few months that it really surprised me. On the battlefield, the enemy will be terrified when they hear the name 'Jade Lion'."

"Jade Lion..." Hyuga Yuto shook his head:

"Compared to the famous Yellow Flash, I'm still far behind."

"Haha, so work even harder, Yuto. I hope that when I'm fighting the Iwagakure army in the Land of Rain, I can still hear news of the lion."

"Minato-senpai, Yuto will do his best."

Minato Namikaze and Yuto Hyuga exchanged a few more words before Minato Namikaze vanished from the spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The young member of the branch family looked towards the Land of Rain, and with the sound of cicadas chirping in his ears, he turned around and slowly walked out of the camp amidst the admiring gazes of many Konoha ninjas.

It is now summer, and Hyuga Yuto has been in this battlefield of three factions fighting between Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure for four months.

Four months, and over a hundred battles, big and small.

The name "Jade Lion" has spread throughout the major ninja kingdoms.

With black bandages, a handsome face, and ninjutsu that roars like a lion, thirteen-year-old Hyuga Yuto has become a rising star on the battlefield. He is one of Konoha's key figures in its publicity campaign and is recognized as the leading young talent in the Land of Fire.

Although it cannot compare to the yellow flash, the name of the Jade Lion is still quite well-known.

—At least, on the target lists of hostile ninja villages and gold exchange offices, the bounty for [Jade Lion] Hyuga Yuto has reached 45 million ryo, which is much higher than that of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire"!

However, while Hyuga Yuto was in high spirits, the world became increasingly turbulent. Iwagakure and Sunagakure seemed not satisfied with a one-on-one duel between the two countries, so they dragged Konoha into the fray as well. The three sides tested each other in the Land of Rain for several rounds, and it looked like another chaotic battle was about to break out.

Due to the immense pressure from the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, Hiruzen Sarutobi also transferred Minato Namikaze there. Before his departure, Yuto Hyuga, who was seen by the public as "Minato Namikaze's direct subordinate," naturally came to see him off.

After bidding farewell to Minato Namikaze, Yuto Hyuga once again distanced himself from the main camp. He was now quite adept at this kind of solo operation, concealing his movements, luring the enemy, and making a quick escape... These skills were ingrained in his body, like instinct.

Of course, these gains come at a price, often a painful lesson learned from being ambushed.

Hinata Yuto's long list of achievements is soaked with blood, some of which belong to others, and some to him.

He turned left and right, eventually returning to the underground secret base.

The large breeding tank still contained Shinji Hyuga's body. This was the only corpse of the main family that Yuto Hyuga had obtained, and it might be useful in the future, so it was not "squeezed into human juice".

As for the other Hyuga clan members captured in the past few months, they were all turned into nutrients by Hyuga Yuto and used as a disposable breeding ground for cell culture to create the "Mask of God".

Even during wartime, Hyuga's body was hard to come by. Hyuga Yuto knew that since Shinji and his guardian assassins all disappeared last time, the clan and village had been on guard. Perhaps any lone Byakugan was a trap, waiting for him to take the bait.

Therefore, he could only remain cautious and occasionally go out to "hunt".

After conducting the necessary tests, Yuto Hyuga now only has two masks left.

The cultivation of a "Mask of God" requires at least one Jonin or four Chunin.

However, the time that Hyuga Yuto had when he fused with the mask and temporarily gained powerful eye power was only a short three minutes.

In addition, Hyuga Yuto reached other conclusions:

By in vitro propagating the cells of other Hyuga clan members, he discovered, just as he had suspected, that he, as a transmigrator, did indeed possess extraordinary abilities, and that only his cells could undergo a complete level leap, transforming into the Mask of God.

The mask is the key to repairing his bloodline defect, but it is clearly not a complete key and cannot be maintained for a long time. Within three minutes, his eyes will change, and the chakra extracted from his body will be incomparable. For this state, Hyuga Yuto gave it a name that fits the style of the Naruto world very well - [Masked Mode]!

But once time passed and the key was used up, he turned back into a bird trapped in a cage.

To create a stable key, other things are needed, and to find those things, a three-minute "mask mode" is essential.

Despite his many twists and turns, he remained on the path of collecting corpses.

However, Hyuga Yuto is quite satisfied with his current situation. At least he has a clear goal and has some trump cards up his sleeve.

Three minutes of power is actually not short, considering that the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku only lasts for a few minutes.

Walking on the road is a very reassuring thing, especially since Hinata Yuto wants to take another big step forward today.

He stayed in the underground base for two hours, and only ended his meditation practice when he estimated it was getting dark.

Hyuga Yuto threw away his clothes, changed into a gray-based black robe, used the transformation technique to keep his body at the level of an adult male, and finally put on the demon mask of Hannya and came to the ground.

He skillfully traversed the mountains, arriving at a valley where he formed a hand seal in front of a distinctive landmark.

The underground door opened again; this was the branch of the Gold Exchange in the Land of Hot Springs.

Led by his attendant, Hyuga Yuto ventured deep underground and arrived at a hidden stone chamber.

"Please state your name and key, sir." A woman wearing a rat-face mask appeared; all the cashiers at the exchange were dressed like this.

"Shinichi Kudo".

"Mr. Shinichi Kudo." After verifying her identity, the woman asked respectfully:

"How can I help you?"

"I came here to exchange some things."

"Yes, sir. Would you mind showing me? Although I'm not a ninja, I've received professional training from the organization and can make a preliminary valuation of items."

"Okay." Hinata Yuto nodded and took out a glass bottle containing a preservative solution.

"Oh? Human organs? No problem, this kind of..."

The woman with the rat-face mask stopped abruptly, as if something had choked her.

She suddenly raised her head, looking at the man opposite her wearing a demon mask with unprecedented adoration and fear.

Inside a small glass vial, a pure white eyeball floats in a preservative chemical solution.
