My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

To the outside world, Hyuga Yuto is the very embodiment of his clan’s ideal prodigy. Resilient yet gentle, powerful yet serene, he is the kind of steadfast companion anyone would trust without hesitation. He moves through the village with a quiet grace that commands respect, projecting an image of unwavering loyalty and traditional perfection that leaves no room for suspicion. Yet behind closed doors, a far darker reality festers within this young genius of the branch family. On countless silent nights, Yuto traces the cursed Caged Bird seal branded into his forehead, harboring a fury too volatile to ever be spoken aloud. Terrified that his suppressed madness might slip out in his sleep, he rests with a sharp needle held between his teeth—a brutal precaution against betraying the rage burning deep within his heart. He is not the devoted servant the main house believes him to be. Beneath his flawless exterior lies a dangerous ambition fueled by resentment and defiance. As he stares into the darkness, a single, treasonous thought consumes him: if Itachi Uchiha had the resolve to turn against his own blood, why shouldn't he, Hyuga Yuto, dare to do the same?
