My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 79 The First Year of the War

Time flies.

When the first snowflake fell on the Land of Hot Water, the land of the ninja world was still stained with blood.

The snow came very late this year; winter had been here for a long time before the snowflakes finally arrived.

For ninja warfare, snowfall is a good thing. Possessing chakra, they are not afraid of the cold. Thick snow can cover or even freeze corpses, reducing the possibility of an outbreak of plague.

From the early spring when the war broke out to the deep winter now, the war has been going on for almost a year, and all sides have suffered heavy losses.

A few days ago, the five great nations issued a confidential document for internal reference only. According to the statistics, the number of ninjas who died and the number of civilians affected so far are not optimistic. The total number of ninjas who died or were seriously injured in each village is around three thousand. The number of civilians who suffered undeserved disasters is twenty times that of the ninjas!

The economy and population have been hit hard. Prosperity is gone. Families that were laughing and joking last winter may now be left with only elderly women and young children to depend on each other.

Of course, the statistics above only apply to the "Five Great Nations" and the "Five Great Ninja Villages".

As for those scattered small countries and their small ninja villages... they no longer even have the power to organize "demographics".

How many of them died? That's something only the Sage of Six Paths knows.

At first, many young and passionate ninjas rushed into the battlefield, trying to make a name for themselves for their clans and villages with their kunai and become shining figures like the "Legendary Sannin". But as the war progressed, no matter how much passion you had, you eventually became numb.

You either get killed, drift with the tide, or seize the opportunity to become a superstar, but in a war, very few can transform into the last kind.

Most ninjas were just an insignificant number in the war log.

Of course, there will always be true geniuses who emerge, carrying the hopes of countless people, and becoming the village's proud young future.

For example, Minato Namikaze, the "Yellow Flash," who has become world-famous.

For example, although he is not as good as Minato Namikaze, he should not be underestimated. He is known by the enemy as "the strongest Byakugan in the fifty years since the founding of Konoha"... [Tamashii] Yuto Hyuga.

……

In the Land of Hot Springs, in a valley covered with deep snow.

"Woo-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee—"

A strange howl with a peculiar rhythm exploded in the valley, and a violent and evil chakra streaked across the sky. Even ordinary ninjas who stood by doing nothing would have their skin torn apart.

A four-tailed monster suddenly appeared on one side of the battlefield.

"Oh no! It's the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"When did he get here...? Wasn't he supposed to be recuperating?"

"Foolish! Still thinking about these things at a time like this! Call for reinforcements! Defense squad! Defense squad!"

The Konoha ninjas felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Killer Bee, who was enveloped in the Tailed Beast Cloak. However, at this stage of the war, many squad leaders were experienced veterans, and they quickly organized a resistance, attempting to evacuate the valley.

A joyous shout erupted from the Cloud Village, as cheers of "Killer Bee-sama is here!" filled the air. The Jinchuriki opened his mouth wide and swallowed a mouthful of extremely dense chakra.

"Battlefield Superstar, Shining, Eight-Tailed Grandpa, Yeah!"

It was still a poorly rhymed rap, which sounded ridiculous, but the Konoha ninjas only felt death approaching. The high-density chakra that sent chills down their spines was so violent that snowflakes floating in the air melted hundreds of meters away.

"Killer Bee, I remember telling you when we first met that you really don't have the talent to be a rapper."

Just then, a clear voice came from afar.

Immediately following this was a thunderous roar from a lion that erupted in the valley.

Killer Bee let out a strange cry, changed direction, and unleashed the Tailed Beast Bomb.

"Lion's Fang—"

Few people heard this word; the speaker was too fast, and the sound was extremely distorted, creating a deafening boom in the air that drowned out the original pronunciation.

"Bite it down!"

He clenched his five fingers tightly, roared wildly, and with unprecedented ferocity, he took the Tailed Beast Cannon head-on.

boom!

A massive shockwave erupted on one side of the valley, cracking the earth. Ninjas who were slightly closer were blown away, while those with bad luck crashed into the cliff and immediately lost consciousness.

Unlike that night when the "Sealing Technique Absorption Seal" was used to eliminate the Tailed Beast Cannon, this time it was a real head-on collision!

"Whoa!"

Killer Bee took a few steps back, his ferocious crimson tailed beast cloak seemingly swaying slightly, reflecting the turmoil in his heart.

The boy, whose right arm was imbued with the image of the Lion King, stopped and gazed at Killer Bee from afar.

He was handsome, wearing a wide white robe embroidered with the Hyuga and Senju clan crests, over which was a Konoha-style Jonin battle armor, and his right arm was wrapped in a black bandage.

—It is none other than "Jade Lion" Hyuga Yuto!

"Killer Bee, are you still fighting? How about we go somewhere else? There are a lot of Konoha and Kumogakure ninjas here."

Hyuga Yuto removed his arm armor and chuckled lightly, feigning ease on the surface, but secretly he was already treating himself with medical ninjutsu.

Even the "Lion's Fang Bite" unleashed using the "Hundred Healings Seal: Super Strength" would be at a disadvantage in a head-on clash with the Tailed Beast Cannon. The destructive power of Jinchuriki is truly... It seems we need to raise the attack power to another level...

With a slight flick of his finger, a talisman, inscribed with a complex chain of spirits, quietly wrapped around his index finger.

The next Lion's Tooth Bite will bring an immense explosion!

Killer Bee's tailed beast cloak, with its bull-horn-shaped ears twitching, vanished the next moment, revealing the true form of this Jinchuriki.

Hyuga Yuto narrowed his eyes slightly and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Killer Bee's attire was unusual. Instead of his usual revealing and exaggerated one-shoulder shirt, he wore a white bodysuit over a coat engraved with medical jutsu symbols. Dozens of metallic threads extended from his chest, and in the Byakugan's vision, these threads flowed with fluorescent green chakra unique to medical ninjutsu.

"Live on with these wounds. From now on, spread my name throughout the world, and tell everyone that the man who left this scar on you... is named Shinichi Kudo!"

This statement has truly become a reality.

【Murakumo-kiri】is not merely a "physical penetration"; it is the power of the half-eye of God, acting on many levels. When it penetrated Killer Bee's body, it left scars and pain that could not be healed by normal means.

To achieve a complete cure, at least the same level of pupil power is required.

The Hidden Cloud Village implanted complex medical equipment into Killer Bee's chest, constantly generating chakra to maintain his condition, which allowed him to jump around and move as nimbly as usual.

However, this body was ultimately destroyed by the immense power of the "half-immortal eye".

"Fighting against Hyuga Yuto using only the Four-Tails' chakra cloak"—that's the best proof!
