Chapter 42: Is This The Fate Of A Villain?
When Yoru entered the park, he first saw the infighting Anbu.
Over ten Anbu were fighting chaotically, and there were already several Anbu corpses on the ground.
There was a Cloud Ninja Spy among the Anbu new recruits!
In the Uzumaki Clan Annihilation battle, Konoha only sent Anbu to participate, and the Anbu suffered heavy casualties, with four squads successively crippled and rebuilt.
The rebuilt Anbu was a mix of fish and dragons, and Cloud Ninja Spies had actually infiltrated it.
Avoiding the battle between Anbu Ninjas, Yoru rushed out of the woods and saw Kushina Uzumaki being carried on the shoulder by the Cloud Ninja Spy.
If Kushina Uzumaki was taken to the Hidden Cloud Village, she would definitely be dissected to study Sealing Jutsu.
Yoru hurriedly followed.
Retrieving Kushina Uzumaki would be a great merit, guaranteeing an A-rank mission at minimum, and possibly even getting an S-rank mission.
An S-rank remuneration of one million ryo would be enough for him to splurge for three months.
The Anbu spy shuttled through the alley, continuously hiding in the darkness and disappearing.
As expected of a spy, so familiar with Konoha, much more than Yoru, who rarely came to the village’s west district.
Yoru walked and stopped, each time needing to spend time searching for the Cloud Ninja in the darkness.
For safety’s sake, Yoru took out an Exploding Tag Kunai and threw it high into the air.
The Exploding Tag exploded in mid-air.
Nearby ninjas and Anbu all understood this was a warning method in emergency situations.
Soon, the spy disappeared from the hole under the Konoha Wall.
Yoru suddenly had a realization.
The park next to the Senju Compound, Kushina Uzumaki was abducted, yet the Senju Clan showed no movement for some reason.
The village was very dissatisfied with the Senju Clan’s control over Kushina Uzumaki; if a problem arose with Kushina Uzumaki’s safety, perhaps the high-ranking officials would have a pretext to make trouble for the Senju Clan.
Some situations seen tonight might be the result of the Anbu turning a blind eye.
The spies performed too outstandingly; something unusual was happening.
They even made a hole at the bottom of the Konoha Wall.
Yoru hurriedly crawled out through the hole, followed after, and left the village.
Just after leaving the wall, Yoru heard a sound from the wall hole behind him.
Yoru hid behind a big tree on one side.
A blond young boy crawled out from the hole, holding some red hair in his hand.
Minato Namikaze was truly sharp, having discovered the red hair that Kushina Uzumaki had thrown down early on.
Yoru suddenly felt an itch to act.
Minato Namikaze was a speed-type ninja with extremely fast reaction speed.
Ninjutsu, Chakra Amount, these things could be improved slowly.
One speed breaks all methods; fast reaction is the real fast.
He originally followed Kushina Uzumaki to snag an A-rank or S-rank mission, to conveniently go to the izakaya and live it up.
The situation had changed.
While Minato Namikaze knew few ninjutsu, he might be able to draw an ability to speed up reactions.
As for protecting the Whirlpool Princess, that was Konoha’s business, what did it have to do with him.
Following Minato Namikaze out of the village, when Minato Namikaze saw Kushina Uzumaki and his attention was completely drawn to Kushina Uzumaki, Yoru moved!
Tonight he was dressed in casual clothes, without a ninja sword; Yoru held a kunai and suddenly jumped down from the tree crown.
Holding the kunai with both hands, he viciously stabbed toward Minato Namikaze’s head.
Minato Namikaze was jumping on the tree trunk, very close to Yoru.
Mid-air, Yoru’s eyes slowly turned despairing.
He saw Minato Namikaze look up.
Minato Namikaze’s eyes were cold and stern.
He completely captured Yoru’s movements.
Not only that, he also scanned himself up and down: mask, kunai, hands and feet; even, Minato Namikaze glanced at the tree crown where Yoru had just hidden.
These eye movements were all completed in an instant.
This reaction ability was no less than the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Minato Namikaze pushed hard with his front foot, suddenly stopping his forward rush and standing on the tree trunk.
Yoru landed in front of Minato Namikaze; the sneak attack failed, and he hurriedly swung the kunai.
Minato Namikaze reacted even faster, bending at the waist to dodge the kunai.
He grabbed Yoru’s wrist with one hand, held a kunai with the other, and stabbed into Yoru’s abdomen.
Too fast!
He completely saw through every movement of Yoru and reacted.
Whether observation, nerve transmission, or muscle response, all top-level.
Was this the innate ninja?
Was this the fate of the villain?
Couldn’t even beat the Ninja Academy’s Minato Namikaze, killed by an elementary school student.
This made Yoru look like a clown.
Before Naruto Uzumaki was born, Minato Namikaze was the current world’s son; provoking the world’s son, he died really fast.
—
His vision went black, and the scene changed.
Yoru returned to the previous full moon night; he appeared in the backyard of the izakaya.
Qiao Yi was sweating profusely above him.
Yoru closed his eyes and enjoyed… the System reward.
【Moon Arc activated!
The host has only one resurrection opportunity per month; after death, he will resurrect on the previous full moon night.
Reward: one lucky draw opportunity:
1- Wind Release Chakra;
2- Chunin Level Chakra Amount（stackable）;
3- Reflex（second breakthrough）.】
Wind Release Chakra; Minato Namikaze’s initial Chakra Nature was wind, just like Naruto in the original story.
This attribute was temporarily useless to Yoru.
Later, if he went to the Land of Hot Water and encountered a large number of Cloud Ninjas, he could consider adding Wind Release Chakra to counter Lightning Release.
Chunin Level Chakra Amount proved that Minato Namikaze’s Chakra Amount far exceeded genin level.
In the original story, Minato Namikaze had enormous Chakra Amount; transferring the Tailed Beast and Tailed Beast Ball was no problem.
Looking at the third option, Yoru was overjoyed.
There really was an ability to increase reaction speed!
Reflex（second breakthrough）!
Yoru quickly selected the third reward.
In an instant, Yoru’s reflex nerves became even more active; whether visual nerves, spinal nerves, or muscle nerves, all were strengthened.
Yoru’s original reaction speed was 2s; after one enhancement, it became 15s.
He saw glistening sweat drops hanging on Qiao Yi’s chin.
The sweat drop on Qiao Yi’s chin suddenly fell, and Yoru’s hand reached out to catch the sweat drop.
Estimating the height at which he caught the sweat drop, Yoru’s current reaction speed was about 12s.
One breakthrough improved it by 05s, the second breakthrough by 03s.
Reaction speed was indeed hard to improve; training to raise it by 03s on his own was probably impossible.
“Hate it! Why grab my falling sweat? Are you mocking me for being too proactive?”
“I just feel sorry for you being tired.”
The next morning, Yoru left the izakaya feeling refreshed.
He hoped to encounter more speed-type ninjas to improve his reaction speed multiple times.
Once his reaction speed reached the strongest in the ninja world, he could become a taijutsu strong individual just with reaction speed.
So annoying, deleted my three hundred words, made my driving speed so low, not smooth at all. The backend is too much, even this implicit writing isn’t allowed.
