Yugito Nii: I'm Already One of the Villains

Before dawn, Naruto and Yugito quietly made their way to the inn in the very center of the town. A cold morning wind blew, and the surroundings were pitch black and dark.

"Which room is he in?" Naruto asked in a low voice, turning to the Yugito Nii.

The two stood one behind the other, not far apart. Upon hearing this, the Yugito Nii first looked up at him, then pointed to a room.

"Very good, "Naruto thought to himself, pleased with himself. Just as he was wiping his nose and preparing to reach inside, he noticed Yugito's hand move again.

They pointed from one room to another, and then changed rooms again in less than a second. This time, Naruto was dumbfounded.

"I don't know which room it is, and we'll be discovered if we get too close." The Yugito Nii were a little embarrassed, showing a rare shy expression.

Hearing this, he felt a chill run down his spine and barely suppressed the urge to kick her butt. He comforted himself, saying that Kisame Hoshigaki was very sensitive to scents, and it was the right thing to stay away.

The Yugito Nii standing to the side were a little uneasy, wondering if they should explain a little, in case he thought they were bad.

She didn't approach for fear of alerting Kisame Hoshigaki senses were far too sharp. Many of her methods couldn't be used, lest she be detected.

But when the words were on the tip of their tongues, they didn't know how to say them. If they didn't say them, they were afraid of being looked down upon, thus falling into the Uzumaki of the fate of mugwort.

"Um... me."

"No need to say anything, it's fine." Naruto was being too serious, waving his hand and saying, "Kisame Hoshigaki isn't so easy to track. Getting too close and being discovered would be troublesome."

"Hmm." The Yugito Nii' opinion of him changed slightly, and they couldn't help but feel a little moved. There were no purely evil people in this Shinobi World.

"Even if the people you choose are incompetent, you have to keep using them," he added.

Yugito: "."

The minor problem of not being able to find a room was no challenge for his clever little brain. Naruto simply asked the front desk and got Kisame Hoshigaki's specific room number.

The inn wasn't large, with only three floors. Naruto rushed upstairs. Yugito Nii stood on the roof opposite the inn to prevent Kisame Hoshigaki from escaping.

Thump thump thump!!

A rapid knocking sounded at the door in the early morning, and with a whoosh, the door was pulled open.

Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a sinister grin. His cement-gray skin and mouthful of sharp teeth made him look particularly terrifying. His small black pupils dilated and contracted as he stared at the blond-haired man in front of him.

Smoke and dust billowed in the passageway, and a faint light pierced the darkness. The two were less than half a meter apart, and a murderous aura erupted instantly.

Naruto also revealed a sinister smile, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Long time no see, is that damn brother- Itachi Uchiha dead?"

"Mr. Itachi, how dare you, a brat like you, mention him?" Kisame Hoshigaki swung his Great Sword Samehada, the bandages bursting open instantly, a powerful gust of air blowing out.

"Yeah, you're worthy, but how many swords are you worthy of?" Naruto pulled out a yellow... no, he grabbed the wrong one, it was Kusanagi Sword.

"You think you're a master just because you have a stick? Kisame Hoshigaki, you're just as useless as Itachi Uchiha."

Outside, Yugito Nii were standing on a high place, staring down at the inn. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the building facing south of the inn exploded and crumbled into pieces.

A massive, blood-red phantom arm blasted out of the house window, sending Kisame Hoshigaki flying like a broken bead through the air.

With a loud bang, it crashed directly into the middle of the street, creating a crater the size of two people.

Yugito Nii was alarmed; she knew Kisame Hoshigaki's strength all too well. There weren't many people she feared, but this strange man was definitely one of them.

A rogue ninja who survived the Bloody Mist Village, she had been wanted for so many years yet remained unscathed and even joined the rogue ninja Akatsuki Organization. Although she didn't know that the Akatsuki Organization no longer existed, that didn't stop her from being astonished.

The thing was sent flying like a sandbag, crashing to the ground and creating a large crater. In that instant, she was suddenly glad that she was on the villain's side.

You can't reason with a sandbag, but a fist that's big enough to hit a sandbag can still be effective.

Kisame Hoshigaki in the deep pit in the street, never expected that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konohagakure would be so unethical. Despite having drawn the Kusanagi Sword, he used other methods to suddenly smash Kisame away.

Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been caught and crushed on the spot.

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately rolled over, squatted down in the deep pit in the street, and looked up at the figure slowly emerging from the broken building on the second floor. He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

In a moment, Kisame Hoshigaki turned and ran.

"Where there's life, there's hope." There are too many people he can't beat. Staying in the same spot is too risky; he just saw Naruto smash through the house.

Would such a madman really hesitate to act against the consequences? Kisame Hoshigaki thought he might, but he dared not gamble. In his eyes, the lives of the people in this market town were not as valuable as his own.

Having made up his mind, Kisame Hoshigaki fled. Seeing this, the Yugito Nii who had been waiting for a long time leaped into the air and nimbly gave chase.

The Two-Tails Matatabi is a spirit cat, granting Yugito Nii a light and agile body. Naruto didn't see where Yugito was using her strength, but he saw her toes tap the air a few times and catch up with him.

Shaking his head, he hurried after them.

He certainly wouldn't make a move in this town; his earlier attack only damaged a wall. Killing Kisame Hoshigaki was a done deal; he couldn't escape.

There's no rush to risk the lives of ordinary people fighting that strange man. Firstly, it's pointless, and secondly, it wouldn't allow them to fully utilize their abilities.

Kisame Hoshigaki fled towards the Land of Grass, with Yugito Nii chasing after him. Naruto wasn't worried about how fast Kisame Hoshigaki could run.

If the Two-Tails were to transform into its complete form, even Kisame Hoshigaki would struggle to withstand it. Not to mention that Yugito Nii were merely engaged in a prolonged battle, with no intention of fighting to the death.

Before long, Naruto caught up with Kisame Hoshigaki, who was blocked by Yugito Nii and Naruto from the front and back respectively. There was no way for him to escape.

"Heh, they're keeping a close eye on us." Kisame Hoshigaki stopped running, glancing at the pursuers in front and behind him. "Konohagakure brats, and... Kumogakure's."

Yugito wasn't wearing Forehead Protector, but her features as a Western catgirl were too obvious, and besides, the method she used was a derivative skill of the Two-Tails, so she wasn't hard to identify.

"When did Kumogakure get entangled with Konohagakure? That's really strange!" Kisame Hoshigaki still looked indifferent, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

Upon hearing this, Yugito's brows furrowed slightly. Kisame Hoshigaki's words had stung her; what did he mean by saying that Kumogakure and Konohagakure were getting together and that they had to be silenced?

This person can't be kept alive; they need to be burned to silence them. Burning them to ashes and then diluting them with water isn't safe enough if it seeps into the soil. It's better to just detonate them again with Explosive Tag to evaporate them completely.

Naruto was unaware that Kisame Hoshigaki had angered Yugito; he simply wanted to kill Kisame Hoshigaki and retrieve the Great Sword Samehada.

This is his stuff. Although it's not his now, it will soon be returned to its rightful owner.

One of them was staring intently at the sword, focused on pushing the progress bar of Mission 2 forward even a little. The other was thinking about how to grind Kisame Hoshigaki to dust; they were practically adulterers—no, practically conspiring in a one-night stand.

"This is none of your business. Is Itachi Uchiha dead?" Naruto asked again, looking at Kisame Hoshigaki. "Not going to talk? That's fine too. I'll send you away first."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kisame Hoshigaki got into position and quickly Hand Seals. "Water Release: Who Built the Dam??!"

Unfortunately, the Hand Seals were a step too slow. The Blood-colored Nine-Tails phantom, as large as a Tailed Beast Ball, cleanly severed Kisame Hoshigaki's hand. With a thud, it fell to the ground.

"What?" Kisame Hoshigaki was stunned. The huge gap in strength meant that the outcome of this battle was already decided before it even started.

How can someone use Ninjutsu without Hand Seals? Is this ninja bullying? Cheating! I (******)!!!

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Kisame Hoshigaki's mind. But facing the Yugito Nii, who were already Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, he had no choice but to abandon his Great Sword Samehada and jump away.

Losing his hands was undoubtedly a major blow to Kisame Hoshigaki, who was always diligently Hand Seals. With a determined effort, a massive wave of water surged forth.

Naruto picked up the Great Sword Samehada and immediately jumped out of the fighting area, no longer paying attention to the remaining battle. Kisame Hoshigaki's fate was sealed; he couldn't cause any more trouble.

Yugito Nii alone could handle Kisame Hoshigaki; he only needed to stand by and provide cover fire. He sheathed his Great Sword Samehada and examined it carefully.

The thing seemed to wriggle slightly, which was a bit disgusting. It probably had a faint sense of self, but Naruto didn't intend to use it and directly opened the panel to sacrifice it.

The next second, Great Sword Samehada let out a scream and vanished into thin air. At the same time, the progress bar for the second main quest finally changed.

[Mission Line II: Land of Water Arc, the Ninja Blade Collection Mission Line is now open! Achievement complete: Broken Sword. Kubikiribōchō. Reward: Izanagi, awarded upon completion of all achievements.]

[Achievements Completed: Broken Blade, Kubikiribōchō, Lightning Blade, Fang, Great Sword Samehada.]

The green task progress bar had moved one-seventh of the way, reaching about halfway. Naruto a surge of excitement, his eyes glued to the reward.

He remembered that when Mission Two was activated, the reward Izanagi, was clearly a one-time use item. But now, it seemed to have become a permanent skill.

Even someone as used to receiving rewards as he was now breathing heavily. The stronger one is, the fewer skills one can actually use; after all, times have changed, and battles now begin with unleashing ultimate moves.

It might be alright if you encounter small fry, but if you encounter Obito Uchiha, using Lava Release to test him would be ridiculous and could easily backfire.

All he can rely on now is the Blood-colored Nine-Tails phantom, which is one of the Gundam's skills. Even after the Nine-Tails were removed, the system still generously gave him the strength of a half-dog fox.

The elusive Flying Thunder God is a significant asset, along with several Sealing Jutsu and Forbidden Jutsu. The Reaper Death Seal isn't particularly effective against evenly matched opponents.

The Impure World Reincarnation first requires finding a powerful puppet, and the resurrected puppet's strength will be greatly weakened. The Adamantine Sealing Chains is good, but it lacks the Sage Art Gate of the Great God.

Now, if a permanent Izanagi skill popped up for him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. Having Izanagi would be like adding wings to a tiger.

With a slight thought in his mind, Naruto took a deep breath and carefully checked the panel again, both inside and out. It seemed that only the reward for Mission Two had changed; everything else remained the same.

"Could it be that the system realized I didn't want to do the tasks, so it increased the rewards?" he muttered to himself, thinking that this damn system was a repeat offender.

Naruto closed the system panel, considering himself another self-made ninja. He didn't really understand things like adding points to his blue stats.

He grinned and turned to look at the increasingly tense battle on the other side.

Kisame Hoshigaki was almost at his limit, completely exhausted. The Yugito Nii were agile, using a few Fire Rat Ball to keep Kisame Hoshigaki hanging on.

This caused Kisame Hoshigaki immense pain, like punching cotton. He couldn't move, nor could he fight his opponent, who was clearly intending to wear him down.

With a roar, Kisame Hoshigaki was hit by another Fire Rat Ball, and he was almost completely out of his mind. With his hands crippled, he could only barely stay afloat in the water.

The battle didn't last long. Naruto secretly unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball that struck Kisame Hoshigaki directly, and the latter couldn't hold on any longer and was immediately killed.

It wasn't that Kisame Hoshigaki was incompetent, but rather that he encountered a cheater who lacked any sense of martial ethics. Not only did the cheater activate the Crimson Tailed Beast Gundam, but he also forcibly interrupted the opponent without giving them time to Hand Seals.

He put on a show of being ready to fight, but when he actually did it, he acted like a complete idiot. Kisame Hoshigaki started out half-crippled, and his fate was practically sealed – he was destined to be toyed with and killed.

"Is he dead?" Naruto stood there, his eyelids drooping as he looked at the corpse in front of him.

With Kisame Hoshigaki's death, the surrounding tides receded, leaving not a trace of water. Thanks to the battle just now, the plain was full of potholes.

"It's dead, let's just burn it." The Yugito Nii had already planned this, and they spat out a ball of ghostly blue fire, and the corpse burst into flames.

"Tsk, that's too cruel." Naruto turned his head away, unable to bear watching the scene of grilling fish.

Even so, he stood there until Kisame Hoshigaki was burned to ashes and then blown away by the Yugito Nii with an Explosive Tag before turning around.

That's how you should finish off enemies in combat; being cautious is always a good idea.

He assumed that the Yugito Nii were only doing this out of caution, completely unaware of the slight upturn on Yugito's lips, as if she had finally vented her anger.

In Yugito's eyes, she's now one of the villains too. After all, what decent person claims to be a good person, and what good person Tenten talks about being kind-hearted and despicable?

The two watched as Kisame Hoshigaki vanished into thin air, then slowly turned and left.

"Hey, do you think Kisame Hoshigaki might have left behind some money or something? That should be our money, right?"

"Should we go back and get it?" the Yugito Nii asked.

"Forget it, too much trouble." Naruto waved his hand. "Making such a fuss in the town, it'll be too much trouble to go back... Sigh, let's find the next one."

"Oh." The Yugito Nii tossed their hair, savoring the thrill of falling into villainy, and unconsciously took cat-like steps.

It trembled slightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
