Chapter 270
Nara Shikaku patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and said slowly: "I know you are worried about your companions, but Hinata is no longer a ninja of the same level as us."
Shikamaru shook his head slightly, still a little worried and said: "I understand what you mean, but..."
Shikamaru is not as optimistic as Nara Shikaku. He knows his childhood playmate too well. However, the information is limited at the moment, and it is difficult for Shikamaru to understand what Hinata wants to pursue.
Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment, and said seemingly unintentionally: "In fact, Tsunade-sama also has this concern. Jiraiya-sama seems to have heard something from Myoboku Mountain."
Shikamaru looked up at Nara Shikaku, his face slightly surprised.
Nara Shikaku smiled lightly and said: "This is not something we should consider... Shikamaru, just do your own task."
Shikamaru nodded slightly.
With his power, he can't investigate Hinata's affairs at all. It's better to leave this matter to Tsunade.
Hokage Building.
Tsunade stood quietly by the window alone, looking into the distance, that is the direction of the Hyuga residence.
Now that the five major ninja villages have reached an agreement and the Akatsuki organization is temporarily dormant, it stands to reason that nothing should be difficult for Tsunade.
But thinking of the information that Jiraiya sent back some time ago, Tsunade suddenly discovered the crisis hidden in the dark of the ninja world.
Since seeing the illusion left by Indra, Jiraiya has been investigating the secrets of the ninja world thousands of years ago while tracking down the Akatsuki organization.
Jiraiya once accepted Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan as his apprentices, but Jiraiya did not report this to Konoha.
When Jiraiya learned that the leader of the Akatsuki organization had the Samsara Eye, he naturally thought of the red-haired autistic boy many years ago-Nagato.
Jiraiya was almost certain that the leader of the Akatsuki organization was Nagato.
However, as Jiraiya's investigation of the Akatsuki organization gradually deepened, he found that the Akatsuki organization was just an organization pushed to the surface by others, and people in the dark wanted to use the Akatsuki organization to achieve their ulterior motives.
And the ninja experience over the years told Jiraiya that all the information he investigated was secretly guided by someone to find out.
It is obvious that the forces hidden behind the Akatsuki organization have been divided into two factions, one of which wants to use Konoha to eliminate the other faction.
This is Jiraiya's speculation, and it has also been recognized by Tsunade.
If all the things are connected together, Tsunade finds that the person who has been guiding her to investigate the secrets of a thousand years ago is Hinata Hyuga.
Although it was finally confirmed that the battle in the Land of Fire was caused by the power of the Samsara Eye, the battle broke out when Hinata was out on a mission.
Tsunade still remembers the situation at that time. The movie starring Hinata received a great response in the ninja world. Hinata's fans specially rushed to Konoha and issued a designated task to Hinata.
Not long after Hinata left the village, a war broke out in the Land of Fire.
And last year, Konoha encircled and suppressed Orochimaru. Although it was finally confirmed that the Akatsuki organization leaked Orochimaru's whereabouts to Konoha, from Kakashi's mission report, although Hinata's final evacuation was to save people, Hinata was capable of going back to fight the main body of the Samsara Eye after saving people.
But Hinata gave up at that time.
Although Sasuke's infiltration into Konoha to assassinate led to the mysterious man who mastered the space-time ninjutsu, Sasuke didn't need to infiltrate Konoha to gather intelligence because of the mysterious man's means.
Before assassinating Danzo, Sasuke once infiltrated Konoha alone, investigated intelligence, and transferred a large number of senior ninjas and Anbu away from Konoha.
If the mysterious man who mastered the space-time ninjutsu was really Sasuke's helper, why would Sasuke take the risk to gather intelligence? This was simply a waste of time.
Many things that happened in the past two years have vaguely pointed to Hinata.
Years of ninja experience have told Tsunade that Hinata has a connection with the person who is hiding behind the ninja world and planning everything.
Thinking of Hinata who doesn't even care about the position of Hokage, but has been working hard to practice.
According to the information obtained by Tsunade, Hinata has not assisted Hyuga Hiashi in handling the affairs of the Hyuga clan. In addition to strength, Hinata seems to be indifferent to everything.
"Is it for the mother of the Six Paths Sage?"
Thinking of what Indra left in the illusion, Tsunade could only come to this conclusion.
As a Konoha ninja, if there is anything more tempting than the 'position of Hokage', then it must be eternal life.
Chapter 416 Things will definitely leave traces
Outside the window of the Hokage Building, two birds chirped in the tree.
It was hard for Tsunade to believe that Hinata, who was once as free and happy as a bird, would be one of the masterminds behind the conspiracy to subvert the ninja world.
It has only been about two years since Hinata debuted as a ninja, but many things that happened in these two years seem to have the shadow of Hinata.
It's just that Tsunade has no evidence yet, and everything is just a seemingly coincidental inference.
"Maybe someone is deliberately guiding it..."
Tsunade doesn't want to doubt Hinata, because the Hinata she knows is just a little girl with an unruly temper, greedy and sleepy.
It's hard for Tsunade to associate Hinata with the three words 'ambitious'.
On the Hokage's desk was the latest information sent back by Jiraiya: Orochimaru's hands had recovered, and the Shikigami Sealing was suspected to have been cracked.
Thinking of the information found from the Root after Danzo's death, the Death Mask was indeed lost.
Danzo is very wary of Orochimaru. Could the person hiding behind the Akatsuki organization still be able to reach to the root?
All the ninjas in the root have been given the "Seal of Tongue Abuse" by Danzo, and the ninjas in the root cannot reveal the secrets of the root at all.
If there is anyone in Konoha who can find out the information about the roots, then this person can only be Hinata... Hinata's Byakugan can see through the tailed beast inside the jinchuriki.
Just because the death mask was missing, Hinata was extremely suspicious.
"Tsunade-sama!"
The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open. Shizune was sweating profusely and holding a stack of information in her hands.
"All the information you are looking for is here!"
Tsunade said loudly: "Put it on your desk!"
"yes!"
Tsunade retracted her gaze from the window, turned around and walked quickly to the desk, picked up the file bag with the word 'confidential' and took out the documents inside.
"The Hyuga clan..."
These documents are from the Warring States Period, and are information about the Hyuga clan that the Senju clan has collected over the years.
In the legend of the ninja world, the Hyuga clan is descended from the Six Paths Sage, including the Hyuga clan itself. However, in Indra's illusion, the only descendants of the Six Paths Immortal are Asura and Indra.
Tsunade's eyes were serious and she quickly browsed through all the documents.
"It's all useless stuff!"
Tsunade threw the document on the desk, frowned together, and said in a serious tone: "At this point, we can only rely on Jiraiya!"
No one in Konoha is qualified to investigate Hinata, and even Tsunade has no confidence that she can spy on Hinata without being discovered.
Not only the ability of Byakugan, but also the ability of natural perception.
Shizune thought about it for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Tsunade-sama, could it be that we are overthinking it? From what I know about Hinata, she will never..."
"People are going to change!"
Tsunade interrupted in a deep voice: "After understanding those things, even Hinata may not be moved."
Shizune frowned and said, "Even if Hinata wants to get something, she may not do anything to harm Konoha!"
Tsunade was silent after hearing this.
There may be some truth to what Shizune said, but as Tsunade sat in the position of 'Hokage', she had to think about things from the perspective of the village and the ninja world.
Tsunade didn't want to do anything to Hinata until there was no clear evidence that Hinata had done harm to Konoha.
But with Hinata's strength, once Hinata takes action, it may be too late.
Tsunade suddenly understood the Third Generation's tolerance of Danzo.
Although the Hyuga clan does not openly display their ambitions like the Uchiha clan, Tsunade, as a sun-drenched Hokage, cannot investigate her companions in the village for no reason.
The Hyuga clan seems to be very peaceful on the surface, and Hinata stays in the clan all day long. Even though many things vaguely point to Hinata, without conclusive evidence, Tsunade cannot even send ANBU to monitor the Hyuga clan.
That is the sentient clan with the Byakugan. Once the Hyuga clan finds out that they are being monitored by the ANBU, I am afraid that the village will immediately split into two factions.
And no one inside Konoha can stop Hinata from doing anything.
Tsunade shook her head slowly and said in a complicated tone: "Shizune, there are some things you don't understand yet."
"If Hinata's purpose is really to resurrect that person, or if she wants to get something from that person, a war in the ninja world will be inevitable!"
It is true that, as Shizune said, Hinata may not do anything to harm Konoha.
But the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to collect tailed beasts, and from the standpoint of the five great ninja villages, the five great ninja villages will never let the existing structure of the ninja world be broken.
Why did Kumogakure and Iwagakure target Konoha before?
It's not because Konoha's strength has threatened the balance of the ninja world.
The five great ninja villages have been aloof for many years, how could they want to see someone climb on top of the five great ninja villages and issue orders to the five great ninja villages?
Even if the Akatsuki organization won't take action against the five great ninja villages after collecting the tailed beasts, the five great ninja villages will definitely take action against the Akatsuki organization.
Such is human desire and ambition.
And this war will be called "maintaining peace" by the five major ninja villages.
Tsunade asked herself, if the Six Paths Sage suddenly resurrected and wanted to issue orders to the five great ninja villages, the five great ninja villages might not be willing.
The Five Shadows will even unite to kill the Sage of Six Paths.
Regardless of whether the Six Paths Sage is the founder of the Ninja Sect, the current era is the era of the Ninja Village, not the era of the Six Paths Sage.
Shizune's face was complicated, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Tsunade-sama, what should we do now?"
"Are you going to send someone to monitor Hinata?"
Tsunade shook her head slowly.
Danzo died suddenly, and before Danzo died, he had been targeting the Hinata family, and then he was killed by Sasuke.
If Hinata really has a connection with Sasuke, once Hinata realizes that she is being monitored by the village, a fight will be inevitable.
From now on, it seems that the mysterious man who rescued Sasuke is more like helping Hinata hide something.
"Shizune, if the person who helped Sasuke at the beginning was the mysterious man, then why didn't Sasuke go directly to Danzo, but instead sneaked into Konoha to investigate intelligence?"
"After killing Danzo, Sasuke didn't move for several hours. What was he doing during this time?"
Shizune's face changed slightly.
Tsunade ignored Shizune's shock and continued: "If, I mean if..."
"If Hinata found out that Danzo was secretly investigating the Hyuga clan, she would join forces with Sasuke and kill Danzo with the help of Sasuke's power."
"Sasuke first sneaked into Konoha to cover Hinata."
"After killing Danzo, the mysterious man either found Sasuke or Hinata, and they reached a secret agreement, so there would be a few hours of blank time!"
Shizune's face changed drastically: "Tsunade-sama, these are just guesses!"
Chapter 417: Hyuga Hiashi who is bullying others
"Of course I also hope that these are just guesses... because once these guesses are true, Konoha and the ninja world will face an unprecedented crisis."
Tsunade's voice was very tired. No one hoped more than her that these were just speculations, or that others deliberately framed her.
Shizune looked at Tsunade with worry. After returning to Konoha for more than a year, although Tsunade had regained her spirits and inherited the ideals of her lover and brother, she also shouldered heavy responsibilities and was no longer as carefree and happy as before.
"Don't worry!"
Tsunade smiled wantonly and said loudly: "The current situation is not yet irreversible, and I will never let my grandfather's ideals be ruined in my hands!"
...
Hinata's house.
After returning from the Nara family, Hinata slipped back to her bedroom.
Although Hinata has always been too lazy to pay attention to these troubles, she is not really ignorant of everything.
In the previous life, she lived in the 21st century with information explosion. In some things, even if she has not eaten pork, she has seen pigs run.
Shikamaru's little thoughts can't be hidden from Hinata.
