Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 155 Thank you, allies, for the generous gift from Hezō!

knock knock.

There was a knock on the door of the bathhouse.

Yun Chuan collected his thoughts and calmly said, "The door isn't locked, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pulled open to the side.

As Yahiko approached the gate, he yawned, glancing instinctively at the figure entering. His eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "Uncle Ye? You changed your body?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Meeting Yahiko's surprised gaze, Yoru walked in and looked down at himself with some confusion, but his view was blocked by his pectoral muscles.

At this moment, he is no longer the thin, ordinary middle-aged man he used to be; his height has probably increased to over two meters.

He was wearing a black yukata, and his bronze chest muscles were visible below the collar, the muscles making the wide yukata bulge.

"Oh, you mean this?"

He pointed to his pectoral muscles and chuckled, "This is my normal appearance. The way I looked in the Rain Country was because I forcibly compressed my muscle density."

It was only then that Yahiko realized that the "lower moon" in his left eye had become the "upper moon," and the "three" in his right eye had become the "land."

— Upper Moon Six: Night.

It is clear that Yun Chuan has bestowed upon it "blood" again, allowing it to advance further on the original basis.

"Lord Yun Chuan, I..." Ye Xiang bowed respectfully to the figure that was faintly visible in the mist.

"Don't rush to report on official business."

Just as he was about to say something, Yun Chuan raised his hand to interrupt him, chuckling and waving his hand, saying, "I'm not some kind of devil. Since we're already here, let's enjoy the hot springs while we talk. The Land of Rain doesn't have that kind of accommodation."

Upon hearing this, Ye paused for a moment, but still responded with a "Yes," took off her yukata, and stepped into the hot spring. Her tense body relaxed slightly, and the chill of the night was completely dispelled.

"Uncle Ye," Yahiko pointed to the box behind him, "could you get me a bottle of juice?"

Ye, who had been squinting slightly, snapped out of her daze and subconsciously glanced in Yun Chuan's direction.

"You guys drink it." As if sensing his thoughts, Yun Chuan smiled before he could speak, "The juice from the Mountain Kingdom is too sweet, I don't really like it."

"Hmph, boss, you just don't understand."

Yahiko took the juice from Yoru's hand, inserted the straw into the bottle and held it in his mouth. He rested his head on his hand, shook his head with a smug look on his face, and mumbled, "As expected, the sweetness is just right."

But soon, the expression on his face froze.

Snapped.

Then, Ye, who was opposite him, placed the bottle in front of him and, with a crisp sound, opened the cap with his pectoral muscles.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far. What kind of weird function is that?"

Yahiko couldn't help but mutter a complaint, but looking at Yoru's physique and then down at his own thin frame, he muttered under his breath, "Damn it, I also want to open bottle caps with my pectoral muscles."

"You're just a swordsman, you should probably give up."

Ye shook his head with a wry smile, then turned to look in Yun Chuan's direction, saying enviously, "Lord Yun Chuan's figure is much more perfect than mine."

Yun Chuan, who had been inexplicably pointed at, simply smiled.

Indeed, he wasn't a muscular hunk like Ye; his physique was more streamlined, and he looked significantly more mature than his peers, not at all like a teenager.

Comparatively speaking, his back muscles are more developed, while his pectoral muscles are not prominent, but they have lines and contours, because overly large pectoral muscles would actually affect speed.

The posterior chain of leg muscles is strong, while the anterior chain focuses on explosive power and endurance based on body weight. The lines look like they are cast from steel, giving a sense of speed without affecting the range of motion of the joints.

The spindle-shaped muscle groups were forged solely for killing; each strand is a noose to strangle the enemy's neck.

The reason Ye is like that is because his Blood Demon Art controls the hardness and density of muscles, so he pursues strength and resistance to blows, and can even create a muscle armor, a pure immortal tank.

"Are you in trouble?" Yun Chuan asked, looking at the few remaining marks on Ye's body.

With his current physical strength and recovery speed, Yoru is even more terrifying than Nagato in his normal state.

Of course, if Nagato were to use Blood Demon Art to absorb life force, then Yoru would be far superior.

Nevertheless, injuries that cannot be repaired overnight are rare.

"Yes."

Ye composed himself, frowning as he said, "The traps in Yangyan Village are too well hidden and sophisticated. No matter how careful I am, I still had half of my body blown off by one of them."

Although he wasn't a "ghost" like "Dawn" who specialized in stealth, he could still control his breathing and heartbeat to the maximum extent to remain hidden.

However, when he was about to approach the interior of Yangyan Village to investigate, he encountered a dense network of chain traps. Even though he used Blood Demon Art to strengthen his muscles, his lower body was still blown apart.

If you want to go any further, you'll have to rely on your recovery ability to tough it out.

But doing so would only alert the enemy.

"No matter what, it's a ninja village with a rich history, so it's not surprising that you were stopped," Yun Chuan said calmly, unsurprised. "However, it seems that the leader of Yangyan Village has completely gone mad after his wife and children were killed."

It can only be said that Danzo's methods, though utterly shameless, were indeed brutal and effective.

The hatred for Konoha was instantly replaced by a temporary hatred for Takigakure.

"However, this is exactly what I wanted," Yun Chuan muttered to himself thoughtfully.

The Mountain Country, an obscure little country.

As its name suggests, this country is characterized by mountains above and river valleys and basins below, with a significant difference in elevation. The terrain is rugged and uneven, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Numerous waterways flow through the Rain Country to the south and into the River Country.

Viewed from above, it resembles a "fold" formed by the compression and uplift of continental plates.

Because of its unique terrain, the country has a large number of large wild animals and few prosperous towns. Settlements are either built on the mountainside or in structures resembling ant nests on the edge of basins.

Although it is called a "country", it is actually extremely loose and can be described as being indifferent to worldly affairs.

Unfortunately, this secluded country has produced an oddity.

The largest settlement is "Kagerou Village," located deep in the mountains of the mountain country.

If the "Craftsman Village" of the Land of Craftsmen is skilled in making and using ninja tools, then the "Kagerou Village" is skilled in making and using explosive tags, and has even developed a series of ninjutsu that can use the terrain to set up traps.

Like the Craftsman Village, which supplies ninja tools, most of the explosive tags used by various countries are produced by the Kagerou Village.

The villagers of Yangyan Village are mostly hot-tempered, and some would even say they would rather die than submit. If Danzo hadn't caused trouble, it would have been virtually impossible to bring them under his control.

but now……

"I also want to thank our ally, Legion Zang, for the generous gift," Yun Chuan said with a smile.
