My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 91 The Moon Goddess Returns

evening.

Inuzuka Kotsu moved through the dense forest, the moonlight shining on him and bringing a slight coolness.

If someone else says, "The moonlight is a bit cool," they're probably just being pretentious. But Inuzuka Kotsu can confidently tell others: the moonlight is indeed cool, the wind has a scent, and the rustling leaves are speaking in a language that others can't understand.

As the strongest family that raises ninja dogs, the Inuzuka clan has lived with dogs for generations, and its members have distinctive features: triangular patches on their cheeks, sharp canine teeth, and undiminished intuition and wildness.

Before the establishment of the ninja village system, during the Warring States period, some hostile ninjas even contemptuously referred to them as "uncivilized half-beasts".

The main area of ​​Konoha is not very large, and the village is protected by a barrier team that monitors external chakra 24 hours a day.

But as one of the world's top violent organizations, Konoha certainly couldn't be limited to just this small territory.

Extending ten kilometers outward from the village walls, this area is under Konoha's absolute control.

The village will issue special "patrol missions" to guard and patrol the area. The patrols are not frequent and not very useful, but they are a necessary means to assert sovereignty.

There is no one more suitable than the Inuzuka clan to run and patrol the forest at night.

Even without the terrifying eyesight of the Uchiha and Hyuga, Inuzuka's nose is just as sharp, not to mention they have their most trusted partner.

"Iron Teeth Maru!"

The night breeze blew, and Inuzuka Kotsu's voice was extremely pleasant:

"Iron Fang Maru! Slow down!"

"Woof—Woof woof!"

A large, lead-gray dog ​​sprinted through the dense forest; even at night, its strong, powerful limbs and gleaming fur were visible.

This is a ninja dog with chakra. Although it cannot speak, it grew up with Inuzuka Kotsu since it was a puppy. They are of one mind and can perform a combined attack technique. They are partners who trust each other to the core!

However, the exhilarating run tonight did not last long. At some point, Tetsuya suddenly bared his teeth and made a "whoosh" sound.

Inuzuka Kotsu knew that this was Tetsuya Maru's reaction when he smelled an unfamiliar scent.

Strangers appeared outside the village late at night?

The thought flashed through Inuzuka Kotsu's mind, and he uttered a soft shout:

"Iron Fang Maru, let's go check it out!"

At the same time, he twitched his nose forcefully, his sense of smell greatly enhanced under the influence of a clan secret technique.

Inuzuka Kotsu also smelled that scent.

It was a very peculiar...humanity. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to use "pure" to describe this kind of humanity.

The man and his dog ran swiftly through the forest, approaching each other without knowing who was friend or foe or lacking intelligence. This seemed like a reckless act, but the place was too close to Konoha Village. Even if they fought, Inuzuka Kotsu was confident that he could make a huge commotion and attract the village's experts.

"Do you think you can kill us instantly? It would take at least two moves to subdue me and my dog!"

Being a ninja is a profession that involves constant death. If you're looking for absolute safety, you might as well just go back to raising dogs.

Before long, Inuzuka Kotsu tracked down to the source of the scent. He didn't have the same eyesight as the Hyuga or Uchiha, and it wasn't until he was very close that he could see the stranger's attire.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, the dog's bones froze in place.

Under the moonlight, a man leaned lazily against a tree. He wore a black robe and a ferocious Hannya mask. Even though he was sitting casually, the way he looked at Inuzuka Kotsugu was as if he were looking down from the clouds.

—Shinichi Kudo, the Moon God!

How could it be...this guy?

Inuzuka Kotsu's hands and feet were ice cold. Tetsuya Maru was an extremely intelligent ninja dog. Sensing his master's unprecedented fear and panic, he also whimpered softly and scratched at the ground with his paws.

The image of the Moon Goddess has long been circulating in various ninja villages, and the Hannya Mask has become synonymous with her.

Konoha collected battlefield information and fragments of information from survivors, and the Nara clan led the effort to compile an analysis of this mysterious man's ninjutsu characteristics and personality.

Manipulating repulsive and gravitational forces, it can absorb chakra and ninjutsu, possessing a super offensive method of "penetrating or slashing" type, so powerful that it can instantly defeat a Jinchuriki in the Seven-Tails state!

As for personality...

Extremely arrogant, intolerant of provocation, domineering, and fearless!

In the Nara clan's analysis report, one thing was specifically highlighted:

Why would the "Moon Goddess" attack the people of Kumogakure?

His original purpose was most likely to collect the bloodline limits—Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku—which had nothing to do with the Cloud Village ninjas. However, in the final battle, the aftershocks killed a large number of ninjas, and the Cloud Village suffered the most casualties in the post-battle statistics.

Moreover, in the end, when faced with the critically injured and dying Killer Bee, Lunari did not even choose to attack, but instead humiliatingly spared his life, allowing him to eke out the rest of his days.

A man named "Kirabi" was arbitrarily crushed and abused, both physically and mentally.

The most likely reason for this behavior is that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's proactive attack enraged that terrifying man!

Therefore, if you encounter him and you are not his target, or if you have a reason not to back down, run!

Run!

Information about Konoha flashed through Inuzuka Kotsu's mind. He shuddered and pinched his thigh hard, so hard that he almost broke his skin.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, his vulnerable and defenseless back facing the man, and ran away as fast as he could. Tetsuya Maru also followed his master's example and ran away as if his life depended on it.

Inuzuka Kotsu landed on his hands and used the clan's unique secret technique, "Four-Legged Technique," his strongest ninjutsu for bursting speed in a short period of time.

The night wind howled, its mournful roar filling his ears, but all he could hear was his own and Tetsuya Maru's heavy breathing; he couldn't care less about anything else.

Finally, he and his beloved ninja dog reached the gate of Konoha Village.

"Y-you're Inuzuka Kotsu! What happened? What's wrong?"

The Chunin guards at the village entrance were shocked.

"Huff, huff..." Inuzuka Kotsu was almost out of breath. He looked back at the dense forest, his feelings extremely complicated.

You really didn't lay a hand on me... Ah... Damn it, does that mean I don't even deserve to be killed by you...?

He pursed his lips, shook off the jumbled thoughts in his head, and grabbed the guard's arm:

"Immediately! Take me to see the Hokage! Quickly!"

……

In the dense forest, Hyuga Yuto stretched and yawned, feeling rather happy.

Fortunately, this member of the Inuzuka clan is a smart guy. If he had just pounced on me and tried to kill me, I would have had to go through the trouble of killing him. Using the Mask of God would be too much of a waste. If I used Gentle Fist or Super Strength, I might leave marks in the rush.

He must use his three-minute masked mode wisely.

Hinata Yuto sat patiently in place, calculating the time.

Thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes, five minutes...

Yes, the Inuzuka clan member who was on patrol should have already reported this matter to the highest level by now.

With that thought in mind, Hinata Yuto took out a precious mask.
