MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 48 The Return on the Slug Cart

In the Kingdom of Fire, an "ox cart" was walking along an official road from west to east.

 It is said to be an ox cart, but it is actually just a wooden cart with two wheels. The animal pulling the cart is not a horse or a donkey, but a slug the size of a buffalo!

Hinata Yuuto was lying on his back on the cart, the sun was shining and his whole body was warm.

Tsunade was lying next to him, fiddling with a broken broadsword.

“The Explosive Knife·Fei Mu is a very powerful blade. I don’t know if it can be repaired.”

 “It doesn’t matter if you can’t fix it well.” Hinata Yuuto said lazily:

"Teacher, I think the symbolic significance of this thing is greater than its practical significance. It is good for destroying Kirigakure's morale, but its actual combat ability...is just that. It is not as good as a chakra knife, at least it is sharper."

From the point of view of the boy from the separated family, the Exploding Knife and Flying Foam did not put much pressure on him. To put it bluntly, this thing is just a door panel covered with detonating symbols. Its power may look intimidating, but in fact it is very bulky and has a single attack method.

 “My lovely apprentice, you underestimate this blasting knife.”

　　 Tsunade sat up and raised the explosive sword · Momo in front of Hinata Yuuto's eyes.

　　It’s not that the boy who was separated from the family had to lie down in front of the teacher, but he was bandaged like a mummy at this time, and it was difficult to move his fingers.

 “Look carefully at this knife.”

Hinata Yuuto glanced around a few times and found nothing of note.

 Because Muuri Jinpachi brazenly detonated the entire explosion scroll, more than 20,000 detonating talismans exploded at the same time. The sword could not withstand this level of destructive power and was completely blown to pieces.

The sturdy blade was pitted and separated from the explosive scroll on the back, with only a strange piece of silk connecting it. A burning smell came from the scroll. Both the blade and the explosive scroll were obviously unusable.

"The explosion mechanism of this knife is very simple." Tsunade opened the explosion scroll and pointed to the burnt inner cylinder inside:

"The inner tube of the scroll is covered with circles of detonating symbols. There is a roller in the center. The roller and the blade are connected by silk cloth. The rotation of the roller drives the silk cloth. The silk cloth absorbs the detonating symbols and then sends them to the blade. The structure is very simple, but It’s very difficult to actually do it.”

Hinata Yuuto understood what Tsunade was going to say and sighed:

“Because it has to constantly withstand the impact of explosions, the silk cloth used as [transmission tracks] must be extremely strong, and it must have the function of conducting chakra, so that it can activate the detonating talisman with weak chakra.” His eyes lit up:

 “This piece of silk cloth…”

"Perhaps I can change my protective arm to use Lion's Fang Bite." Tsunade chuckled, but the next moment, she frowned again:

"But...as I said, the toughness and defense of the silk cloth that cannot be torn apart by 20,000 detonating talismans are too strong, and it is difficult to process."

The blonde beauty held the blade and the explosive scroll with her arms, and pulled them out hard. Using her strange strength, several finger-sized dents appeared on the blade.

"No, it can't be pulled apart. It's difficult to destroy this piece of silk with brute force, and the chakra scalpel is not sharp enough... Tsk, I don't know how Kirigakure and the guys made it in the first place."

Hinata Yuuto smiled and said:

 “How about letting the craftsmen in the village try it? There are specialties in the art.”

“Their skills are good at making kunai and shurikens, but making special blades... I would rather find someone else to do it.”

Tsunade scratched her chin and said in a affirmative tone:

"Leave this to me." "Leave it to the teacher."

 In words, the master and the apprentice decided to "snatch" the spoils for themselves.

In the world of Naruto, if it is not required for the mission, anything a ninja collects from the enemy will belong to him by default. There is no need to hand over the banknotes or blades to the village.

 This is a life-threatening profession where the knife tip licks blood, and there are many ways to make money. This unspoken rule applies to all worlds.

Of course, the weapons of the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen" have a strong propaganda effect. If used properly, they can effectively damage the enemy's morale.

Hinata Yuto thought that if the village asked for it, he would take the special silk cloth in his hand and hand over the rest. The iconic blade and explosive scroll alone would be enough to make a fuss.

In addition to the blasting sword and splash, the remaining loot is a few teeth - these were collected by Tsunade in the rain forest while Hinata Yuuto was unconscious. Konoha can detect the chakra information inside and determine the identity of the death ninja. , in order to determine the merits of Hinata Yuuto, few people dare to make nonsense, the masters of the ninja world are all famous, and you can find them with a little attention.

The slug cart walked and walked, and the master and apprentice were chatting on it. The topic at first was how to change the trophy, and then it turned into discussing ninjutsu and the situation of the major ninja villages. In the end, it became much more casual. , talk about everything.

Hinata Yuuto discovered that the relationship between Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya at this time was really very good, and she told a lot of embarrassing things about the two of them when they were young, laughing and joking, looking relaxed.

 If nothing else, Konoha's classic team system of "two boys + one girl" has indeed formed a deep bond in childhood.

Even now in Konoha 48, Orochimaru has begun to conduct inhumane human experiments, but deep in his heart, he still retains a piece of pure soil for Jiraiya and Tsunade. If these two people are in danger, Orochimaru really dares to risk his life - at least for now.

Although the speed of the slug cart is not very fast, it is a psychic beast after all, and its physical strength is far superior to that of horses and mules. When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on Tsunade's blond hair, the majestic Hokage Rock can already be seen in the distance.

“Ahem, then Yuuto, I’m leaving.” Tsunade coughed dryly and said unnaturally:

 “I still have to cook for Shizune.”

What a lame excuse, Hinata Yuuto chuckled inwardly. Shizune was now doing all the cooking and housework.

However, he also knew why Tsunade chose to leave at this time. The jounin promotion assessment was originally a single-person mission. Tsunade sensed that his life was in danger through the slug, so she came to take care of him, not interfering with the battle process, but also protecting him. A valuable potential star in the village.

But after all, this matter is easy to talk about and not easy to hear. When Tsunade and Hyuga Yuto are seen returning to the village together, it is inevitable that there will be gossip. The villagers of Konoha respect the Senju clan very much, but it does not mean that they don’t like to gossip behind their backs. People, in their hearts There's a dark side deep down.

 “Okay, teacher, walk slowly.”

"Okay, I'll leave the slug and the car to you. They'll be here soon. I'll wait for you in the secret room where the Jonin promotion assessment is held..." Tsunade suddenly came over and raised her fist:

"If you dare to spill the beans, you will be dead." She gave a light stroke, and the bandages wrapped around Hinata Yuuto's body fell off, and a strong smell of medicine emitted, which was quite choking.

"Don't worry, teacher." Hinata Yuuto moved his wrist and felt that his condition had improved a lot.

However, when he turned back, there was no sign of the woman on the cart.

 Beside the boy who separated from the family, there was only the scent of lingering warmth and a long golden hair.
