Naruto: The Byakugan is weak? I’m super strong! Chapter 074

Two days later.

With the experience from the last time, their travel speed was much faster.

Yamato also learned his lesson, maintaining silence as much as possible along the way.

While this was his normal state, actively and passively maintaining silence were completely different matters.

“Yamato-sensei, if the First Hokage and the Second Hokage teamed up, do you think Uchiha Madara could win?”

“Yamato-sensei, why do you think the Third Hokage is called the Professor of Ninja?”

“Yamato-sensei, a few days ago, I read in a book that the Third Hokage can use five types of elemental ninjutsu. Do you think it’s true?”

“Sai, I heard that Danzo’s right arm was crippled by himself, which is why it’s wrapped in bandages?”

“Kuroko, how does your ninja cat clan fight? Do you use Fang Over Fang? I saw Inuzuka Kiba use it.”

Hyuga Kōgetsu didn’t speak much.

He only asked one question every half a day.

But even that one question was enough to give everyone in the squad a splitting headache.

Kōgetsu’s questions were simply unanswerable.

Until the early morning of the third day.

The squad successfully arrived at Yugakure, and the few questions asked over the past few days had almost no answers.

Sai was still young and didn’t know what was hidden in Danzo’s arm.

Danzo’s arm, due to the Hashirama cells, was wrapped in bandages year-round.

Many people thought there might be something wrong with Danzo’s arm.

But everyone was just guessing what was really going on; there was no truly satisfactory answer.

Yamato had never thought about who would be stronger if dead people and living people fought.

He only knew that a shocking battle had erupted in the Valley of the End back then.

It was said that even other ninja villages were secretly amazed when they heard about it, fortunate that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama had not teamed up to sweep through the major ninja villages.

Kuroko had learned reconnaissance since childhood, as well as cat-like agility in combat.

She didn’t have combat methods similar to ninja dogs.

“Finally, we’re here. Being with you, I even feel like I haven’t made any progress.”

Kōgetsu regretfully bid farewell to Yamato.

This made Yamato’s face twitch.

What do you mean, no progress?

Are the questions you ask normal?

Many things aren’t taught in the Ninja Academy, and even those who know the answers are already old.

The Yugakure before them had already taken on a new look.

Compared to its previous main income source of tourism and hot springs, it now also had many more handicrafts.

And one could sense some ninjas lurking in the shadows.

They weren’t powerful enough to be undetectable by Kōgetsu, but it also proved that the current Yugakure was more cautious.

“After that mysterious invasion by the Akatsuki, their ties with Konoha and Sunagakure have also become closer.”

Yamato finally had the ability to analyze the situation and felt like a normal person again.

Being around Kōgetsu was truly suffocating, constantly making him doubt himself.

“So they don’t want to offend either side.”

Kuroko replied.

She actually liked the atmosphere of Yugakure. If she had a choice, she naturally hoped that peace would continue here.

But the current tense atmosphere in the ninja world didn’t seem like it would remain peaceful forever.

“Ah, well, we’d better not talk anymore. The mission is the priority.”

Yamato awkwardly interrupted the conversation.

Why were kids these days so smart? A casual remark could lead to so many speculations.

And they were all correct! It was too much to handle!

“A secret letter was supposed to be delivered by someone else, yet we received a C-rank mission for it.”

Sai suddenly said a long sentence.

Yamato felt something was wrong, swallowed, and stared at Sai.

He even started using his eyes to signal Kōgetsu.

You always bring up a bunch of useless topics, can’t you just say something now to change the subject?

Kōgetsu, who usually had the ability to turn any topic into his own, how did he become mute now?!

“You continue.”

Kōgetsu nodded in approval.

Damn it!

Yamato quickly picked up the three of them and jumped onto a tree branch.

“Thank you, but I think Yugakure wants to seek protection. This is a request.”

Sai still finished the rest of his sentence.

Yamato also helplessly returned to calm.

He usually had extremely strong stress resistance and never used to be nervous, but now, encountering these three genin whose thinking didn’t quite seem like children’s, he always had to guard against them saying something inappropriate.

Swoosh!

There was a hot spring monkey below the tree.

A macaque was bathing in the open-air hot spring when it suddenly looked up at the treetop.

It seemed to remember something.

Suddenly, it shrieked loudly and scattered in all directions.

Kōgetsu was very pleased. Compared to humans, animals were truly adorable. Even with a changed appearance and altered aura, their special animal instincts could still detect danger.

Recalling their last meeting, Kōgetsu had given them all a good night’s sleep.

Yamato didn’t understand what was going on.

The mission couldn’t be delayed; the immediate priority was to deliver the letter.

A moment later.

Yamato finally delivered a secret letter to the Yūmikage.

The worried middle-aged man quickly opened the envelope, and the expression on his face turned strange.

Then his originally gentle expression twisted, and he slammed his hand down on the table.

“Sunagakure claims to be powerless, and you Konoha also refuse!

Damn it, then why are you still taking this commission?!

Why is it that every time there’s a war, you’re the first to abandon your allies?”

Yamato quietly watched the somewhat deranged man before him.

He saw dark black cursed marks rapidly climbing up his body.

Kōgetsu saw this scene and was basically certain that he had been controlled by Orochimaru.

“I sensed his presence.”

Yamato was also extremely sensitive to this.

The Sannin Orochimaru!

The man who created his Wood Style, and who also built his ambition upon countless lives!

“Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!”

Yamato formed hand signs immediately, and as he controlled the Yūmikage,

The latter also mutated, with extra arms and bones growing all over his body.

A powerful force tried to break free from the Wood Style.

“This must all be part of his plan, even my taking on this mission was within his scheme. Konoha has his inside man.”

Yamato’s pupils constricted. A long-haired man slowly emerged from the wall.

He bared his tongue, revealing an evil smile.

“Good perception, Yamato.

But I have no ill intentions.

I just came to check on your situation.”

Orochimaru’s voice was hoarse. He merely glanced at the three genin children, confirming they were just ordinary people.

“Some annoying individuals have started moving. To be honest, I dislike them too.”

His body transformed into hundreds of snakes, slithering across the ground.

“If Uchiha Madara can be revived, there’s only one possibility.

He has mastered Tobirama Senju’s Impure World Reincarnation and refined it to a more perfect state.

Originally, I had high hopes for this forbidden jutsu, but unfortunately, someone beat me to it.”

Orochimaru’s tone was strange; no one present could know his true intentions.

“What exactly do you want to say? Yugakure is the ninja village that loves peace the most!”

Yamato prepared to form hand signs, intending to trap Orochimaru as well.

“No need to do useless things. How can trees trap snakes in the forest?”

Orochimaru, in his snake-headed form, flicked out a tongue.

“Just curious, and also a small matter, a secret.”
