My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 89 The Secret Road

When Hyuga Yuto pushed open the door and came out, he happened to run into several Konoha ninja wearing masks.

He stood silently in the doorway, calmly saying:

"Who are you? The patient needs rest."

"We are... members of the Dark Division," said the man in the lead, who was wearing a dog-face mask.

"Anbu? I think it's Root," Hyuga Yuto chuckled inwardly, then continued:

"Even if it's someone from the Anbu, they can't just barge into the ward. This child just came back from the battlefield. Can't we wait until he wakes up to talk about it?"

"That's how it is." The root member changed his tone, softening his manner of speaking:

"Lord Jade Lion, we are his comrades-in-arms. We heard that he encountered danger at the front and we were worried about him, so we came to see him."

"Oh... You can visit him anytime after he's moved to a regular ward, but for now, he needs to be observed in the emergency room for two hours." Hinata Yuto closed the door.

"That's the rule, unless you have the Hokage's order."

He turned and left without ever looking at those Root members again.

It was very forceful, but given his current status and position, this tone was normal. Besides, this was Konoha Hospital, and few people dared to cause trouble here.

Hyuga Yuto returned to his private office, lay down on a wide chair, and quietly conceived a plan.

Yamato is probably around eight years old now.

He doesn't know who his parents are. He was kidnapped by Orochimaru when he was a child and placed in a secret experimental site to undergo the "transplantation of Hashirama cells" experiment. Of the sixty children in the same period, he was the only one who survived.

Even Yamato, for some reason, was considered an ugly failure by Orochimaru and was carelessly discarded. However, the young Yamato survived with a strong will to live until he was discovered by Danzo Shimura, taken to Root to be raised, and given the code name "Kō".

The sole purpose of those Root members coming here was to ensure that Yamato's "Wood Release Kekkei Genkai" was not discovered.

The discovery of Yamato's Wood Release means that the human experiments involving transplanting Hashirama's cells have been exposed, and Orochimaru's testing sites and Shimura Danzo's plans can no longer be concealed. This is a trigger that could ignite a huge crisis!

Of course, as long as he doesn't use Wood Release, no one can tell that the eight-year-old Yamato actually possesses the bloodline limit of the First Hokage. After all, many ninjas have both "water" and "earth" chakra natures, so it's not a rare thing.

—Yamato couldn't possibly use Wood Release while unconscious, could he?

Because the probability of being discovered was extremely low, Gen let Yamato be taken to the hospital without taking any drastic actions.

Unfortunately, Hinata Yuto is a time traveler.

"Yamato, Hashirama cell human experimentation site..." Hyuga Yuto kept pondering these two words, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

He licked his lips, walked out of the office, left the village, and performed reverse psychic magic in a deserted, dense forest outside the village.

Hyuga Yuto once again arrived at the lush yet lifeless Shikkotsu Forest.

"Slug Immortal!" he shouted respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

"It's... Yuto..."

A rumbling sound came from the ground. In the far reaches of the earth, some distance from the surface, a colossal life form watched the caged bird from afar.

"Is there anything... I can help you with?"

Hyuga Yuto grinned, looking quite cheerful:

"Slug Sage, I need something from someone's head."

The things in one's mind are either memories or spiritual power. As the Jade Lion, Hyuga Yuto is now absolutely qualified to ask the Yamanaka Clan for help. It's just a small favor, and the Yamanaka Clan probably won't refuse.

But since you've come to the Slug Sage for help... it means "this is something that can't be done in the light of day."

"Yuto-kun, you should learn a form of illusion magic. It's not just for intelligence gathering and combat; practicing illusion magic will also help you understand the mind and mental power."

"The Slug Sage is right, but I already have a backup plan for illusions."

"Alright..." The slug sage remained silent for a moment, and then, a slug no bigger than a fist emerged from the ground:

"I've placed an illusion spell inside this slug, called Celestial Art: House of Insects. Put it into that person's body... and you will get what you want."

"Thank you, sage." Hyuga Yuto picked up the slug, paused, and still hesitated before saying:

"Lord Slug, is there anything I can do for you? You have helped me a great deal since the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs."

"There will be a day when I need you... You are... an ever-flowing stream." The slug sage said this and then fell silent.

Hyuga Yuto nodded respectfully and left Shikkotsu Forest.

……

Glug, glug.

The boy opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in fear.

I was soaking in a pungent chemical solution, wearing an old respirator, and through the cylindrical glass jar, I could see strangely shaped metal knives outside.

He was very familiar with this place.

This is... his hell.

I will die here, along with fifty-nine other people.

The body decays, internal organs die, and all cells produce a violent rejection reaction. They wait for death in agony until they are thrown into a morgue and left to be eaten by vultures.

No! No! This... is a dream!

The boy gasped for breath. He had indeed been through all of that, but he had made it through. He had been adopted by Lord Danzo, and his code name was... [A]!

Suddenly, a surge of power welled up in his body, and with a mighty crash, the glass jar shattered, and the chemical liquid enveloping him was swept to the ground.

Wood escape·Mu Chuo!

The boy's arm transformed into a giant hammer, and he charged forward, striking the wall with a sudden, powerful blow.

boom!

The wall collapsed, and the bright moonlight spilled onto the ground, where one could vaguely see the lights of Konoha Village in the distance and the towering Hokage Rock.

Yes, that's right, this is a dream. I am a Root ninja... I possess power...

The boy laughed heartily and ran wildly towards Konoha Village.

This is the way to escape death and nightmares.

However, what he didn't notice was that the moon in the sky seemed different from usual, more lively, and watching his every move closely.

It's less like a bright moon and more like a... gigantic white eye!

……

Hyuga Yuto opened his eyes, rubbing his temples wearily.

Not long after, the little slug carrying the Sage's Illusion Technique crawled out of the emergency room and quietly came under Hyuga Yuto's table.

"You've worked hard." The boy with the white eyes stroked its antennae and said softly:

"With my gratitude, return to the immortal."

boom!

White smoke billowed, and the little slug disappeared.

Hinata Yuto closed his eyes and carefully recalled the path leading to the human laboratory.

It's not too far from Konoha, making it convenient for transporting supplies; but it's not too close either, so as not to be too easily discovered. Even the soil hardness and air humidity are ideal.

"A superb location. Orochimaru, the leader, truly lives up to his reputation as a senior." Hyuga Yuto murmured.
