Chapter 284
Hinata: "..."
Is this the real reason why Gaara wanted to kill Sasuke in the original book?
Hinata's heart was racing. Between Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara, Hinata suddenly felt that Gaara and Naruto were such a perfect match.
Damn AB, let Hinata break up the beautiful love between Naruto and Gaara.
No wonder Gaara never married in the original novel!
Compared to Sasuke, Gaara stayed single all his life for the sake of Naruto, and it was obvious that he was very deeply in love.
As a native of the ninja world, how could Gaara understand the mentality of a fujoshi?
Seeing Hinata's strange look at him, Gaara couldn't help but feel a chill in his back... Could Hinata be thinking of something bad?
"Ahem!"
Gaara coughed lightly and said sternly: "I leave it to you to take care of Cloud Hidden Village. If there is accurate information, I will take action immediately and will never let Cloud Hidden Village's conspiracy succeed!"
"Okay!"
Seeing that Gaara already had the intention of seeing off his guests, Hinata was too embarrassed to stay and disturb them.
"Then it's settled!"
"But you Shayin people can't let down their guard either!"
After leaving the Kazekage Tower, Hinata sneaked back to the hotel, avoiding the surveillance of ANBU. Hinata climbed into Shikamaru's room through the window.
"came back!"
Seeing Hinata coming back, Shikamaru immediately stood up and asked, "Is everything settled?"
Hinata patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! What else could go wrong if I take action?"
Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good!"
"Fortunately, Gaara is quite reasonable, otherwise it would be difficult for us Konoha to interfere in this matter!"
Judging from the nature of this matter, no matter what conspiracy there is in Kumogakure Village, it is a matter of Sunagakure Village and has nothing to do with Konoha.
Although Konoha's rash intervention was for the sake of peace in the shinobi world, in the end it still interfered with the internal affairs of Sunagakure Village. It’s not easy to be the world’s policeman. While maintaining peace, you have to bear some infamy.
It's just that Sunagakure Village is currently unstable internally, and the discord between Gaara and the Elders is no secret at all.
Under such circumstances, it is too easy to be penetrated by foreign enemy forces.
When Hinata was the Hokage's secretary, she knew about the elders of Sunagakure Village colluding with Konoha.
This kind of thing is actually very easy to understand, just like Danzo, a ninja who clearly colluded with foreign enemies to murder his village for his own selfish reasons, but he still managed to get the reputation of "for Konoha".
"Okay! If nothing happens, I'll go back to sleep!"
Hinata stretched out and said in a lazy tone: "You will be responsible for the next thing. Temari is a great beauty, so don't miss the opportunity!"
"Come on, keep an eye on you!"
Shikamaru's face turned red when he heard this: "What are you talking about! I have nothing to do with Temari!"
"Cut"
…
In the next few days, Shikamaru was busy with the Chunin Exams and spent the whole day with Temari. He didn't know if their relationship had progressed.
Hinata, on the other hand, stays in the house most of the time, and occasionally goes out to taste the unique delicacies of the Land of Wind.
Although it was Hinata's task to protect the genin team in Konoha taking the exam, Sunagakure Village was also responsible for this matter. Hinata handed over the contact to Shikamaru, and she was relieved to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
It's not that Hinata is irresponsible, but that Hinata is very confident.
Once the team from Konoha arrives to take the chunin exam, Hinata's natural perception will make it impossible to hide any danger from Hinata.
If she quietly opens her Byakugan, Hinata can even see the entire Sunagakure Village clearly.
In late June, genin teams from various countries participating in the chuunin exams arrived in Sandgakure.
Hinata also curiously went over to watch a few times. These genin were all older, some were even in their twenties and thirties.
The ninjas in the Xiao Ninja Village are all dressed in strange costumes and unique styles. They think they are handsome, but in fact they are just a sidekick with a very casual style.
Somewhere in the Kingdom of Wind, the team participating in the Chunin Examination in Cloud Hidden Village were slowly walking through the desert.
There were more than thirty people in the group, divided into eight teams, of which twenty-four were genin and the remaining eight were jounin captains.
"Really, the climate in the Kingdom of Wind is too bad. I really can't figure out why we have to come here to take the Chunin Exams!"
Genin, chunin, and jounin are just levels of ninja. If they want, a ninja village can even raise the level of ninja at will.
Kumogakure Village has been selecting Chunin on its own for many years. This time it sent a team to participate in the Chunin Examination held in Sunagakure Village, which also made many people dissatisfied.
Another Kumogakure genin stepped on the sand under his feet and complained in a dissatisfied tone: "Such a soft ground is not conducive to the use of speed!"
"enough!"
One of the leading Jonin shouted: "I brought you to Sunagakure Village to show the power of Kumogakure Village, not to let you come here to complain!"
"Kids, listen to me. If anyone dares to embarrass our Hidden Cloud Village, let alone Lord Raikage, I won't let you go easily!"
The rookie genin looked solemn and quickly promised: "Yes! We will never embarrass the village!"
Seeing that it was getting late, the leading jonin said solemnly: "There is a town not far ahead. We will rest in the town tonight and go to Sunagakure Village tomorrow."
After Kumogakure's team passed, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, dressed in beige kimonos, emerged from the ground.
"Sand Village... I remember the last time I came to Sand Village was two years ago!"
Looking at the Kumogakure group that was about to disappear from his sight, Orochimaru's eyes were ferocious, and he licked his lips with his tongue.
"The current Sand Village is not as strong as before!"
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Kabuto Yakushi pushed his glasses and said in an inexplicable tone: "I heard that the Raikage will also arrive to watch the last exam!"
In the last joint Chunin exam, Orochimaru killed two Kages as soon as he appeared, and almost (a lot?) destroyed Konoha. Now that Orochimaru has restored his heyday, I wonder what kind of war he will start.
Kabuto Yakushi turned his head to look at Orochimaru: That's why I admire Lord Orochimaru so much!
"Kabuto, do you think so?"
Orochimaru turned his head to look at Kabuto Yakushi, his snake eyes emitting a faint dangerous light.
The eyes of Kabuto Yakushi, hidden under the lens, flickered slightly, and his tone was playful: "Perhaps Lord Orochimaru has other ideas!"
Orochimaru retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Let's go!"
Kabuto Yakushi said respectfully: "Yes!"
Chapter 440 Orochimaru's overall plan
At night, the khaki town was pitch black, and the dark clouds were very low, covering the moon's brilliance.
The houses on the street were mottled and old, and were generally built with yellow mud.
'Whoosh whoosh...'
The wind was howling, and the streets were dusty.
The Kingdom of Wind is located in the desert, and there is no shelter around the town. It was okay during the day, but at night, the wind and sand were everywhere. Even the gangsters who were used to the dark were unwilling to come out at night.
In a room of the hotel, three Genin from the Hidden Cloud Village died silently in their sleep.
"Summoning Technique!"
Orochimaru stood in the open space of the room, and with his hands, he summoned a purple giant python, which swallowed the three corpses whose faces could no longer be seen.
Behind Orochimaru were three ninjas who looked exactly like the three dead men.
"Don't show any flaws..."
Orochimaru said nonchalantly, and the whole person slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
A small town in the Kingdom of Wind, an ordinary house.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Kabuto Yakushi looked at Orochimaru who had drilled out of the ground, and asked with some confusion: "Although I don't know what attracted you to the Sand Village, it is inevitable that replacing our people now will attract attention!"
Since Orochimaru recovered his hands, he no longer relied on Kabuto Yakushi as much as before.
However, Orochimaru's ability to deceive people is very strong. Even if Kabuto Yakushi noticed it, he would not be surprised, but would respect Orochimaru more.
After all, Orochimaru is such a person.
"Kabuto! This world is really amazing!"
Orochimaru answered the question irrelevantly: "What you thought was impossible happened in reality!"
Kabuto Yakushi laughed softly: "Isn't this the most exciting part of this world?"
"Well said!"
Orochimaru agreed: "The most exciting part of this world is that you never know what will happen next."
Kabuto Yakushi's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Including... the exposure of those people!"
Orochimaru turned his head to look at Kabuto Yakushi, and said in a hoarse voice with a sense of appreciation: "Kabuto, you are still so smart, I really didn't misjudge you!"
Sitting on the single sofa, Orochimaru turned his head to look out the window, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "The peace between the five major ninja villages has been too long, which is not conducive to my plan. Raikage wants to collect the Impure World Reincarnation stored in other villages, so let him collect it!"
"We are not the first to be unable to sit still!"
Orochimaru pushed the Impure World Reincarnation to its peak, so he naturally knew the limitations of this ninjutsu.
In the first version of Impure World Reincarnation, even if Hashirama Senju was summoned, he was only a jonin, and could only fight by instinct like an animal, without any combat experience.
Of course, Impure World Reincarnation is Orochimaru's biggest trump card, and Orochimaru will not let the Hidden Cloud Village get it.
Orochimaru turned to look at Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "Kabuto! Do you know when a person is the craziest?"
Combining Orochimaru's previous words, Kabuto Yakushi chuckled and said, "When it is closest to success!"
"That's right!"
Orochimaru agreed, "Except for Konoha, the other four ninja villages each keep four copies of the Impure World Reincarnation. If the action of the Hidden Cloud Village ends in failure, then they will give up over time."
"But if it succeeds twice..."
"Then the last copy, the Hidden Cloud Village must get it no matter what!"
Kabuto Yakushi continued, "In this way, even if it does not hesitate to start a war, the Hidden Cloud Village will get the last copy of the Impure World Reincarnation. And other ninja villages will never sit idly by."
"Especially... Konoha!"
Orochimaru said lightly, "Not only that..."
"Since the villages in the ninja world value the Impure World Reincarnation so much, how can they not pay a price to get it?"
Kabuto Yakushi nodded slightly, and he had roughly understood Orochimaru's plan in his heart.
The dark room was only illuminated by a few candles. Under the dim light, Orochimaru's face was somewhat uncertain.
When this plan succeeds, Orochimaru will be able to obtain the body of the man named Urashiki... Even Hinata is curious about it, and wants to interpret the power that can be obtained. Naturally, Orochimaru is also very curious.
But the Hyuga clan will never let Orochimaru get Urashiki's other eye easily.
Orochimaru knew very well that Urashiki's other eye was the last deal between the Hyuga clan and Orochimaru.
If the Hyuga clan had no trump cards, Orochimaru might not be willing to help the Hyuga clan refine the medicine. Because in the deal between the two parties, there was no specific time for refining the medicine.
One year? Ten years? Or a hundred years?
Orochimaru didn't want to serve the Hyuga clan all the time, and the Hyuga clan must be very clear about this.
So this last deal...either the Hyuga clan found a new substitute that could replace the secret medicine; or Orochimaru got enough chips to exchange for the last eye.
And before that...
"The eye of the Hidden Mist Village must be obtained!"
To this day, Orochimaru is much more interested in the Byakugan than the Sharingan.
After all, from the existing information, although the Sharingan has the level of the Mangekyō, the highest evolution is only the Samsara Eye.
