Chapter 281
"White Zetsu is a war weapon cultivated by Kaguya Otsutsuki. If it weren't for the lack of time to cultivate it, White Zetsu would definitely be more than what it is now."
"Once a war begins, Black Jue can pull out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant."
Hinata and Hiashi nodded solemnly, and said in a low tone: "Our Hyuga family is sandwiched between Akatsuki and Konoha. Although we can have both sides now, once the two sides start a war, we must make a choice."
Countless histories have proven that wallflowers never end well.
"I see!"
Hinata also nodded. Regarding this matter, Hinata has never been able to come up with a good solution.
Hinata even wants to assassinate the five kage directly during the next Five Kage Conference, leaving the five great ninja villages leaderless.
Without the 'Shadow' to make decisions directly, if the five ninja villages want to unite again, they will definitely spend a lot of time getting along.
At this time, Otsutsuki Kaguya had long been resurrected.
Hyuga Hizashi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Although our Hyuga clan intends to leave Konoha, after all, we still have so many years of friendship. If it is not necessary, I do not want to fight with Konoha."
"Besides, the current Hyuga family still needs some time to develop the family. Only by continuing to stay in Konoha can we buy enough time for the family."
"As for the future war..."
Having said this, Hinata Hizu's face darkened slightly, but he did not continue.
No one can stop the rise of the Hyuga family. Any force that stands in front of the Hyuga family is the enemy of the Hyuga family.
"Hinata, the next period of time will be a critical period for us, the Hyuga clan, to improve our strength."
"Not just those clan members, you, me, Hizashi, Neji...we all have to seize this opportunity!"
"Orochimaru, try your best to get in touch with him to prevent that guy from doing anything. Orochimaru is not a peaceful person."
"As for Obito and Black Zetsu..."
Speaking of this, Hinata Hinashi frowned slightly. He had never been in contact with these two people and did not understand their character or mentality, so it was difficult to make a decision.
Chapter 434: Don’t want to live up to others’ expectations
"Father, if you don't trust others, others don't trust us either!"
Hinata spread her hands and said in a helpless tone: "That guy Obito seems to have been targeting me and even snatched Sasuke away!"
After thinking about it, Hinata added: "Actually, Black Zetsu is easier to talk to. For now, Black Zetsu and I have the same interests. At least until Otsutsuki Kaguya is resurrected, our Hyuga family and Black Zetsu will never have any differences. What a conflict."
"But it's important to be on guard against others. Hei Jue has also used tricks before, but they had no impact."
Black Zetsu has little power. Unless he uses the Akatsuki organization and Obito, any of Black Zetsu's strategies will be useless against Hinata.
However, with Hinata's current strength, even if all the members of the Akatsuki organization came together, there would be nothing they could do to Hinata.
Unless Black Zetsu wants to completely break up with Hinata, he can only choose to cooperate with Hinata.
After all, it is related to the resurrection of Otsutsuki Kaguya. Black Zetsu will never make stupid decisions on this kind of matter. Black Zetsu is a thousand-year-old fox.
On the contrary, Uchiha Obito is in some trouble!
Obito now has the character of 'Long Aotian'. Perhaps because he has played Uchiha Madara for a long time, his personality is somewhat biased towards Uchiha, Aotian and Madara.
However, while Obito was learning Uchiha Madara's character, he also had some of Black Zetsu's cunning mentality.
All in all, Obito is a troublesome person.
Especially now, Hinata and Obito are already considered collaborators, but when they think of the original work in which Obito called himself 'Madara Uchiha' at the Five Kage Conference, announced the Eye of the Moon plan in public, and directly issued a declaration of war, Hinata My teeth were itching with anger.
You said that you have been living in poverty for half your life, can't you continue to live in poverty? Do you have to act cool to feel comfortable?
(Obito: How is it different from being a salty fish if you don’t show off?)
If Obito was not so arrogant and continued to secretly stir up conflicts among the five major ninja villages, it would be strange for the five major ninja villages to join forces.
Hinata nodded slightly.
Among the several forces behind the Akatsuki organization, Hinata and Black Zetsu have the same goals, and Obito is just a pawn of Black Zetsu.
But the importance of Obito is self-evident. Only Obito who calls himself "Uchiha Madara" can control the Akatsuki organization. Neither Black Zetsu nor Hinata can do this.
"You can take care of these things!"
Hinata Hinata looked at Hinata and said in a pleased tone: "You are fourteen years old, and it's time for you to learn to handle complex interpersonal relationships independently."
"Okay!"
Hinata responded without sincerity.
…
Peaceful days passed by in a hurry, and a semblance of peace was maintained within Konoha. Tsunade monopolizes the power in the village. Unless something big happens, the two Hokage advisors, Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikaku, almost never get involved in the affairs of the village.
However, Nara Shikaku, as one of the few highly intelligent people in Konoha, would occasionally be called by Tsunade to discuss matters.
From this point of view, the mentality of all those in power is actually the same.
Take the ancient emperors in Hinata's previous life as an example. They knew very well that sooner or later they would pass the throne of emperor to the prince, but they would never tolerate the prince seizing the throne by force.
At the same time, the emperor will not reuse ministers who have "high achievements to surpass the master".
Today's Hinata's strength far exceeds that of Tsunade, and in a sense, she is actually superior to her master. Even though Tsunade is open-minded and will not be jealous of Hinata because of this, Tsunade still has to consider the village.
The sixth Hokage must have been selected by Tsunade herself, and she personally handed over the position of Hokage to the next Hokage, rather than anyone else obtaining the position of Hokage through force.
However, the conflicts among the village's top leaders will never affect the ninjas and villagers at the bottom.
For Konoha today, the biggest thing is the upcoming multinational joint Chunin exam.
On Konoha Street, Hinata and Shikamaru walked side by side towards the Hokage Building. When passing by the training ground, Hinata saw many Genin teams training enthusiastically.
"Seeing them reminds me of us two years ago."
Shikamaru said with some emotion: "Although we may be a little naive in retrospect, I regarded the Chunin Exam as a lifelong event at that time!"
"You?"
Hinata glanced at Shikamaru and said with disdain: "I still believe Ino, but you, a salted fish with no ideals, also think that the Chunin Exam is important?"
"You don't understand!"
Shikamaru pouted and lamented: "You are so strong, so you naturally think that the Chunin Exam is easy and there is no pressure. Although I am too lazy to take the exam, since I have already taken it, the expectations of my parents, Asuma, Choji, and Ino will become my pressure."
"I don't want to disappoint everyone's expectations!"
Hinata: "..."
Indeed, the biggest pain of a poor student is not that he doesn't study well, but the pressure from family, teachers, and classmates.
Since we are classmates, there will be comparisons.
The expectations of our relatives and friends are often the biggest pressure.
In fact, Hinata can also feel this pressure now, especially when Hyuga Hiashi chose to lead the Hyuga clan to leave Konoha, emotions became Hinata's pressure.
Don't want to disappoint others' expectations...
However, Hyuga Hiashi also comforted Hinata in this matter.
Although this pressure is not a motivation, it can prove that Hinata is still a living person. If Hinata can leave Konoha without any psychological burden, Hyuga Hiashi will be afraid of Hinata instead.
Some people say that gods are actually powerful people.
But Hinata doesn't think so.
Both humans and gods can become powerful, and the difference between the two is that humans still have emotions, while gods don't.
"What about now?"
Hinata looked around for a few times, and then whispered to Shikamaru: "Speaking of which, when Neji took the Chunin Exam for the second time, I wanted to apply to be an examiner to embarrass him."
Speaking of this, Hinata was also a little disappointed.
"It's just that I was delayed by something at that time and missed this opportunity!"
"Fortunately, there is still Hanabi!"
Hinata said excitedly: "When Hanabi takes part in the Chunin Exam, I must be the chief examiner and let Hanabi feel what despair is!"
Shikamaru: Fortunately, I don't have a brother...
"We will set off for the Sand Village in a few days, Hinata, you must also prepare early..."
Shikamaru held his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky, and his tone was a little inexplicable.
There are still more than ten days before the Chunin Exam. Although Tsunade asked Hinata and Shikamaru to go to the Sand Village first on the grounds of "guarding against the conspiracy of the Cloud Village", Shikamaru's intelligence can naturally feel that the village seems to intend to transfer Hinata away.
"I know!"
Hinata didn't feel anything. With the strength and shrewdness of her father Hyuga Hiashi, even if Hinata is not in the village, he is enough to protect the family.
As he spoke, Hinata and Shikamaru had already walked downstairs to the Hokage building.
Chapter 435: The Office Where Things Have Changed
‘Bang, bang, bang! ’
“Come in!”
Outside the Hokage’s office, Hinata and Shikamaru looked at each other, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Hinata looked around. Although she hadn’t been here for a few months, the environment of the Hokage’s office was as spacious and bright as before. The sunlight shone into the room from the window, making it impossible to tell that such a bright office would be associated with a dark profession like ninja.
Hinata looked at Tsunade. Tsunade’s appearance had not changed at all, but there was a hint of estrangement between the two of them, which gradually turned from intimacy to unfamiliarity.
Things have changed.
“Here we are!”
Tsunade glanced at Hinata and Shikamaru, and laughed heartily: “I didn’t expect that the two laziest kids at the beginning are now the two most promising ones!”
Hinata first looked at Shikamaru on her left, and then looked at the empty right hand side…
There were three people who came in together. The ‘lazy two kids’ that Tsunade mentioned must not be referring to herself!
"You should already know the mission this time!"
After chatting for a few words, Tsunade's face became serious.
"Among the five major ninja villages, the Hidden Cloud Village has always been the most aggressive."
"There is intelligence that the Hidden Cloud Village took the initiative to participate in the multinational joint Chunin exam hosted by the Hidden Sand Village this time, and its purpose is to seize the 'Immortal Reincarnation' in the hands of the Hidden Sand Village."
The Hidden Cloud Village has made many moves, and its conspiracy cannot be concealed from the other major ninja villages.
Whether the Impure World Reincarnation in the hands of the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village has been obtained by the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha is not sure yet, but as long as the Hidden Sand Village's share is kept, the Hidden Cloud Village will not be able to collect it completely.
Hina scratched her head and asked in confusion: "Tsunade-sama, that... the Hidden Sand Village should also know the Hidden Cloud Village's conspiracy, so why did they agree to the Hidden Cloud Village's request to participate in the exam?"
Shikamaru turned his head and glanced at Hinata, explaining lazily: "Because the Sand Village had to agree!"
"The Sand Village is now in decline, and the last Five Kage meeting can more or less maintain the situation in the ninja world. For diplomatic reasons, even if the Sand Village knows that the Cloud Village has bad intentions, the Cloud Village has publicly applied to participate in the exam, and the Sand Village cannot refuse at all!"
Hinata nodded and said "oh" heartlessly.
Tsunade looked at the two young boys and girls standing in front of her with complicated eyes. If nothing had changed, Hinata would be the best Sixth Hokage in her heart, and Shikamaru would be Hinata's best assistant.
Tsunade knew about the relationship between the two. Since the ninja school, Hinata and Shikamaru have been the best friends. Although they were divided into groups after graduation, the friendship of six years of classmates will not change easily.
Hinata has strength and Shikamaru has wisdom. If these two people work together, they will definitely bring Konoha to a new glory.
But now all this is no longer possible.
Tsunade didn't know what Hinata was thinking, nor did she know what conspiracy Hyuga Hiashi had.
If the Hyuga family intended to be the Hokage, then Hinata should not have resigned from the position of Hokage's secretary. But if the Hyuga family had no ambition, the Hyuga family was now madly improving its strength.
But if we open up a little more, turn our attention from the village to the entire ninja world, and then from the current ninja world to the thousand-year history of the ninja world, the ambition of the Hyuga family is already obvious.
There is no doubt that after seeing the illusion left by Indra, Hinata was tempted by that kind of power.
Now it seems that although the Hyuga family has some signs of losing control, it does not have the ambition of a coup like the Uchiha clan.
Improve strength, but don't want to have power...
