The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto - Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Konoha 57, the surviving family

 “These are the people.”

Uchiha Shisui handed the list to his subordinates:

 “Let the Hokage take a look.” He paused and said softly:

“Ye, your application has been approved…you will follow the team on the expedition.”

The boy wearing the fox mask bowed and bowed:

“Mr. Minister, I will use my life to prove that your decision is correct.”

 He left Shisui’s office and went upstairs. After getting permission, he knocked on the door and entered.

In the Hokage’s office, Orochimaru, who had pale skin and a stern face, sat behind the desk, with an edge that seemed to be flowing in his golden snake eyes.

Even though he became the fifth generation Hokage who was deeply loved by the villagers, Orochimaru still had a dangerous temperament about him, which made others stay silent and at the same time made people unable to help but approach him.

“Hokage-sama.” Ri Xiangye handed the scroll to him with both hands:

 “This is the list of reinforcements.”

Orochimaru took it and glanced at it before seeing Hinata’s name.

He raised his eyebrows and looked up, staring at the boy in front of him. However, Ri Xiangye, who was wearing a fox-face mask, just stood with his head lowered, showing no emotion at all.

He glanced at the Hokage Rock and felt that the skills of the craftsmen were average, and they had not yet been able to portray one-tenth of the oppression of the Fifth Hokage.

 The people in the room all have pure white eyes like him.

“It’s okay, I have to go out to do a mission. I’ll buy something for everyone before I leave… Where is Neji?”

 “Brother Ye!”

 In the fairly spacious courtyard, both women and children looked at Rixiangye with trust and respect.

“Go back and say goodbye to your family. Although the overall situation has been decided, it is your first time to go on an expedition after all. The battlefield and the ANBU are two different things.”

Higurashi walked into the market in a familiar way, buying Dorayaki on Tiedong Street, a small windmill on Nanfang Street, and kunai and shurikens on the right side of the Uchiha Clan. When his wallet bottomed out, he held a full Backpacking home.

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and left the Hokage Building. When she walked on the street, she touched her back and realized that her clothes were soaked.

 “Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoye.”

Ri Xiangye touched the girl’s head, sat on the tatami, and looked at everyone with a smile.

 “Yejun is back!”

“My concentration is pretty good, no wonder I can impress your minister.” Orochimaru praised him without blandness, waved his hand and said:

“Brother Neji is still practicing boxing on the outskirts of the village.” A girl who only reached Hinata’s shoulders stuffed the dorayaki into her mouth and narrowed her eyes.

 “Yes, Hokage-sama.”

“Okay, then wait until he comes back and give him this bandage. This is a good thing from the Kingdom of Thunder. It is particularly durable… Asami, eat slowly.”

“Ye, why did you buy so many things again? Your allowance is not much…”

This mansion is the residence of Hinata’s surviving family.

Since the clan land was burned down, those pregnant women and children have moved in here under the arrangement of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Six years later, the conditions provided by the village are not bad.

 “Xiaoye, come here for a moment.” The elderly woman in the corner stroked the fine fabric and winked at the boy. The two of them came to the small room next to each other tacitly and sat down on their knees facing each other.

 “Xiaoye, are you going to the battlefield?”

 “Hmm.” The boy scratched his head:

“The village agreed to my request. Tomorrow, I will set off with the minister…”

“How could they do this!” Hyuga Meiko’s eyes were red and she gritted her teeth and said:

 “You are only nine years old!”

“Is there no problem with this? In the time of the First Hokage, a five-year-old child could even carry a sword and go to the battlefield.”

“Xiaoye, can you not walk? I can ask Hokage-sama…ah no, maybe the Third Generation can talk better…”

“No need to persuade me, Aunt Meiko.” Ri Xiangye smiled, without any confusion in his tone:

“The Kingdom of Water is about to lose its hold. In this decisive battle to destroy Kirigakure Village, Byakugan needs to make a sound. Besides, everyone in the village is fighting on the front line. The Uchiha family has funerals every three days. We are alone. Don’t go out, others will gossip.”

“But, but.” The woman pursed her lips and murmured, trying not to let out a sob:

 “I’m sorry, if only I were stronger, if I were a jounin…”

 Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by a strong boy:

“Aunt Meizi, don’t underestimate yourself. After the clan was burned, you were at the forefront and raised us little cubs until they were white and fat.”

Ri Xiangye raised his head and showed a bright smile that his ANBU companions could never see:

 “In my eyes, you are much more powerful than Hokage-sama!”

 …

 Late late at night, Ri Xiangye finished his evening routine and returned to his room.

Don’t underestimate “having your own room”. In the down-and-out Hinata mansion, the space is relatively crowded, and usually several people sleep together. Having your own independent cabin is an incredible privilege!

Hinata, who is only nine years old, is already the number one master in Hyuga. He became a chuunin last year and was chartered to enter the Anbu. He has a bright future. The only person in his age group who can stabilize Hinata is seventeen years older than him. It’s just Uchiha Itachi who has been here for a month.

 Going back to his room, Ri Xiangye rubbed his shoulders, washed up and then lay his head back to sleep.

For ninjas, becoming famous at a young age is not an easy task. This is especially true for the Hinata family whose secret skills have mostly been lost and have no one to guide them. To achieve such an achievement, Hinata’s efforts have been quite terrifying, and the training has reached the point of “self-abuse.” Degree.

　　When the first ray of light shone on Hinata’s face, he jumped up without any intention of lazing in bed. He quickly put on his clothes and washed his face. He took the ninja backpack he had packed last night and left Hinata’s mansion.

It is said that when the family is still in decline, the new tribesmen will be called to the leader’s residence for advice, and sometimes they will be taught some life-saving tips. However, for the current Hyuga clan, “pre-war counseling” has become Impossible extravagance, there are only three or two big cats and kittens in the family, and there is not even a single experienced senior ninja.

However, Ri Xiangye was not the kind of person who would immerse himself in the glory of the past. He quickly walked through the streets in the early morning and left the village not long after.

At the gate, many Konoha ninjas have gathered bustlingly. They are arranged in a radial pattern, and the core one is of course the ANBU Minister Uchiha Shisui.

As a close subordinate of Zhisui, Rixiang Ye has many invisible privileges. He squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhisui, greeted him respectfully, and then stood there.

Another half an hour later, all the reinforcements were assembled. Shisui opened his half-closed eyes and pulled out the short sword behind him.

 “In the name of the Will of Fire, set out.” He flicked his fingers, and the blade vibrated:

 “In three days, the Kingdom of Water will become history.”
