MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 6 Hinata no Tama with great love in her heart

 For the ninjas in the village, it is not difficult to meet the Hokage.

Especially for people like Hyuga Yuuto who have just completed their mission and returned to the Ninja Village, it is normal for them to report to their leader.

After being led into the Hokage's office by an ANBU wearing a dog-face mask, Hinata Yuuto knelt down on one knee and said in respect:

 “See Hokage-sama!”

In the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was over fifty years old, slowly turned around. He was wearing Hokage robes, holding a pipe in his mouth, and his hair was already gray. He looked less like the shadow of a village and more like a short and skinny uncle next door. .

But Hyuga Yuuto knows that at this age, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as a ninja, can be said to be the tail in his peak period. He has strong combat power and is definitely the well-deserved number one combat power in Konoha at this time!

Sixteen years later, when Orochimaru attacked the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen's body had already declined. Even if he didn't use the zombies to seal him away, he would still be exhausted, and he would never live for a few days after the battle.

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not only powerful in battle, but his wisdom and skills are far beyond ordinary people. During his years of reign, the powerful ninja clan have successively restrained themselves and obeyed the will of the "shadow", and the geniuses of Konoha Village have also continued to rise. Emerged and flourished.

 Praising him as a "hero" is not flattery.

"Yuuto, get up, don't kneel." Hiruzen Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring and looked at the boy who stood up:

“The people in the barrier class reported that they only detected your chakra.”

 “I’m extremely sorry, Hokage-sama.” Hinata Yuto stood up, with obvious pain on his handsome face:

“Senior Tetsujiro Sugisaki, Mahiro Sato, Reiro Yamagata, and Eiji Hirano... were all killed in action. I am the only one left in the special surprise attack reconnaissance squad.”

“Tetsujiro Sugisaki is gone too.” Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

“Tetsujiro-senpai was besieged by Kumogakure ninjas and failed to escape... Hokage-sama, this is the scroll.”

 Hinata Yuuto handed the cylinder over.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it, tapped it a few times in front of Hinata Yuuto, used a special secret seal to unlock the seal, and then read it carefully.

Throughout the entire process, Hinata Yuto lowered his head, not to mention peeking, and even his fingers did not move.

After guessing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had read almost everything, Hyuga Yuto opened his mouth and spoke out the "mission brief" that had been rehearsed dozens of times in his mind:

 “The first half of the mission went smoothly.”

“We arrived at the Country of Yu and took the information from the agreed grotto, but something went wrong on the way back.”

"In the Kingdom of Yu, we were intercepted and killed by Kumogakure ninjas. There was a steady stream of pursuers. We could only move closer to the border of the Kingdom of Fire while resisting the attack. Unexpectedly, Jonin was also dispatched on the opposite side... "

Ninety-nine percent of what Hinata Yuuto said was true. Except for the most critical "violent attack and murder of Sugisaki Tetsujiro", he didn't hide anything. He even described in detail the locations where the Konoha ninjas died.

After this, Konoha's ANBU will clean up their hands. According to what Hyuga Yuuto said today, they will go to that location to collect the bodies of the fallen ninjas, dissect them and examine them carefully, and use their experience to recreate the scene of that day.

 This is a rule and a procedural justice. Every ninja village has a similar traceability system. It is impossible for subordinates to believe whatever they say.

 After Hinata Yuuto finished speaking, seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't respond, he stood there obediently.

 From beginning to end, his eyes were focused on his toes.

"After you leave my place, you can go to ANBU to assist in the investigation." Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said:

“Tetsujiro Sugisaki is a jounin. If such a person dies in battle, he must have an independent ninjutsu record. Nothing goes wrong.”

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I understand, and I will cooperate with the ANBU."

"Well... As expected of the Hyuga Jade, Yuuto, although you are young, you are already able to deal with problems in an adult way." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly smiled, and he handed the scroll to Hyuga Yuuto:

"Let's take a look. The master of Hyuga Clanology is very knowledgeable, so you should be able to understand it clearly." The handsome young man nodded and understood the value of this information with just a few glances:

“Food prices in the Kingdom of Thunder continue to rise...is there going to be a war?”

“Well, those war madmen in Yunyin Village are going to start a dispute again.”

"Victory will definitely belong to Konoha." Hinata Yuuto said respectfully, shouting the slogan loudly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled. Of course he would not discuss this kind of war between countries with a twelve-year-old Hyuga. He just used this information to lead the conversation:

"This scroll is of great value. Not only does it reveal Kumogakure's intention to launch a war, but it also outlines several lines. Those are supply lines. Kumogakure is going to have a headache. It will definitely take effort and time for us to know the location. Reopen supply routes.”

“Not only that, while escorting the intelligence, you also killed many enemy ninjas, including even a jounin.”

“Including Tetsujiro Sugisaki, all members of the team except you are dead. Konoha will send the pensions of these heroes to their families, but the battle achievements will all fall on you.”

“Since you became a genin, you have carried out ninety-two tasks, large and small, including five A-level tasks with a high risk factor. All tasks have been completed perfectly.”

“Including this time... well, in total, you have already accumulated a lot of merit.”

"Go to the ANBU, Hyuga Yuto. I will give you special permission to go in. One of the ANBU captains under my command is old. Counting the time, you still have time to grow up."

If an ordinary Konoha ninja were here, they would be at a loss for words with excitement. The ANBU is the Hokage's personal army, and all the major ANBU captains are Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidants. If there is a chance to climb to the captain's throne, that is Become the middle and upper management of Konoha!

However, Hinata Yuuto just lowered his head and said without any hesitation:

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I haven't thought clearly about the reward yet... Can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't reply, he just blew out a smoke ring, and the white smoke with spicy and strange fragrance floated in every corner of the room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was over fifty years old, felt unhappy in his heart.

—Are the rules of the Hinata family bigger than those of the village?

He is the controller of Konoha, so he naturally knows that after Hyuga Yuuto returned to the village, he immediately went to the Hyuga tribe. Although it was secretive, this small move could not be hidden from him.

Hinata Hizu told you to answer this way, right? First delay, and then find the best reward for the Hyuga family, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

 The interests and authority of the village must be placed above all ninja clans. Hinata, Uchiha...it seems they still have a long way to go...

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as "Doctor Ninja", has not lost his grace after all, and his magnanimity is not enough to anger a twelve-year-old child who was separated from the Hyuga family.

“Okay, that’s fine, you can think about it slowly.” Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly:

"But, Yuuto, you have to give me a range. What does the reward you want... roughly look like?"

As soon as these words came out, Hinata Yuuto's heart tightened instantly.

coming! coming! He finally waited for this sentence!

 There is no need to give a righteous answer, let alone show the boredom towards the Hyuga family and the anger towards the caged bird.

 As long as he reveals a small "characteristic" in his answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely make a big fuss based on his identity, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to make his next plan.

 Emotions...actions...language...must be adjusted well.

 Hinata Yuuto was silent for a while in the quiet Hokage's office.

 Then, he raised his head for the first time, revealing his snow-white eyes.

 The voice is gentle and firm, with a hint of timidity and shyness unique to teenagers:

"Hokage-sama...I was thinking that it would be great if the reward you gave me could satisfy everyone in the village."
