Chapter 288
Shikamaru calmed down and said in a serious voice: "The situation today is different from two years ago. If Hinata is here, Orochimaru will never dare to mess around!"
"No!"
Temari said with an ugly face: "Orochimaru is no longer the original Orochimaru... According to the information you got when Konoha attacked Orochimaru last time, Orochimaru's 'Unholy Earth Reincarnation' has been more perfect, and now there is news in the ninja world. The information that his hands have been restored..."
"Once the war starts in Sand Hidden Village..."
Temari no longer dared to think about it.
It is true that Orochimaru is not Hinata's opponent, but if Orochimaru remotely controls the reincarnation of the earth and Hinata to fight in Sunagakure Village, I am afraid that most of Sunagakure Village will be destroyed.
Sunagakure Village sent people to investigate the battlefield where Hinata, Orochimaru, and Pain fought!
Chapter 446: Eavesdropping is indeed a very exciting thing
"Uncle Snake, that cheating guy has actually been exposed!"
Hinata covered her mouth with her hands, feeling a little surprised. But when I thought about it again, I felt that it was a bit unreasonable.
Who is Orochimaru?
That was a person who was good at hiding in the entire ninja world. He betrayed Konoha and the Akatsuki organization and was wanted by the entire ninja world, but he could still live well.
Are those soldiers and generals in Sunagakure Village worthy of discovering Orochimaru's whereabouts?
It’s not that Hinata looks down on Sunagakure Village. Sunagakure Village’s ninjutsu inheritance is still very powerful. The key is that Sunagakure Village has no money and no talent...
Gaara, the only one who can do it, is not very strong now.
"Is it intentional?"
Hinata stopped thinking about it and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between Shikamaru and Temari.
After hearing Temari's words, Shikamaru also had a serious look on his face.
Temari said it right, Orochimaru is not that easy to deal with. Once Orochimaru and Hinata start a battle in Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure Village will really be over.
The destructive power of these two people is not weaker than that of the tailed beasts.
The most important thing is that no one knows what the conspiracy is behind Orochimaru's appearance in the Kingdom of Wind.
"Orochimaru...is it possible that he has joined forces with Kumogakure?"
Shikamaru quickly thought of the key to the matter. In the Konoha collapse plan two years ago, Orochimaru first joined forces with the Sunagakure Village, and then killed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.
This time, there is no guarantee that Orochimaru will not repeat his old tricks.
Temari and Shikamaru looked at each other. Between two smart people, there were some words that naturally didn't need to be said.
If Orochimaru really kills the Raikage, it might be a good thing for the entire ninja world.
After all, Raikage, that old gangster, has never been peaceful in these years. Either they invade small ninja villages and plunder ninjutsu, or they expand their armaments crazily and train ninjas aggressively.
Today, there are more ninjas working in Kumogakure than in Konoha.
But if Orochimaru really does this, then Sunagakure Village will definitely suffer.
Shikamaru thought for a moment, shook his head and objected: "Orochimaru probably won't kill the Raikage, and Sunagakure Village... probably doesn't have what Orochimaru wants."
Temari analyzed: "I heard that Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki organization. Could it be that the Akatsuki organization has some conspiracy?"
"It's not impossible!"
Shikamaru said solemnly: "If Orochimaru is carrying out the mission assigned by Akatsuki, then it is understandable that he appears in the Kingdom of Wind..."
"etc!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Shikamaru asked hurriedly: "How did you discover Orochimaru?"
Temari was stunned when she heard this. She was about to say that it was discovered by patrolling ninjas, but before she could say anything, Temari's heart suddenly lurched.
Temari naturally knew what level a patrolling ninja was. It was just a chuunin team, not even comparable to ANBU.
But none of the Anbu in Sunagakure Village could discover Orochimaru's whereabouts, but they were discovered by the patrol team...
"Orochimaru leaked his whereabouts on purpose!"
After a pause, Temari asked with some confusion: "But why did he do this?"
Shikamaru shook his head and said: "Orochimaru not only leaked his whereabouts on purpose, but he also deliberately let us know that he leaked his whereabouts on purpose."
Temari nodded slightly.
If Orochimaru simply wanted to be exposed, he could have done it more secretly.
But Orochimaru was so careless this time that the patrol team of Sand Hidden Village discovered his whereabouts...Obviously, Orochimaru deliberately made Sand Hidden Village think of this.
Temari asked in confusion: "Why would Orochimaru do this?"
Shikamaru looked a little ugly: "He wants to plunge us into fear!"
Hinata hid behind the corner and eavesdropped, and nodded secretly when he heard the words.
In the original work, Uchiha Obito was able to convince the Five Shadows of the authenticity of the "Eye of the Moon Project" just by relying on the four words "Uchiha Madara". This shows the deterrent effect of Uchiha Madara's name on the entire ninja world. .
If another person told the Eye of the Moon plan, I am afraid that the Five Shadows would treat the other person as a lunatic...
Now that Uchiha Madara has not been born, the three words "Orochimaru" are synonymous with war and killing.
Even though Orochimaru has always been honest and responsible in front of Hinata, there are countless people in the ninja world who fear Orochimaru.
Although Hinata is stronger than Orochimaru, Hinata has always been more sensible. Except during missions, Hinata has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. Although the four major ninja villages were afraid of Hinata, the ninja world's evaluation of Hinata had always been very positive.
Did you get the title of 'Princess White Eyes' for nothing?
The princess has always represented justice!
Although Orochimaru is a noob in Hinata's eyes, to Sunagakure Village, he is a terrifying existence that can destroy Sunagakure Village if he is not careful.
"fear……"
Temari's expression changed again and again.
indeed! When the so-called high-ranking officials in the village heard the words 'Orochimaru', they even proposed to recall all the ninjas of Sunagakure Village back to guard the village.
If Gaara hadn't persisted, Sunagakure Village would probably have piled up a lot of tasks in the month between now and the third exam in August.
A month's funding may not be much, but what about the lost credibility and prestige of Sunagakure Village?
The purpose of Sunagakure Village holding the Joint Chunin Exam this time is to increase the prestige of the village. Once all the Ninja Turtles are forced to retreat for defense, the prestige of Sunagakure Village will be reduced to a historical low.
Not to mention, if the ninjas guarding the Kingdom of Wind are recalled, loopholes will appear in the Kingdom of Wind's defense in an instant, giving the enemy village an opportunity to take advantage.
And how could those ordinary ninjas resist Orochimaru?
Letting more ninjas return to the village will only increase the number of unnecessary casualties!
Sunagakure Village is indeed in panic now.
Even Gaara didn't have much confidence in his heart. Although he wanted to kill Orochimaru to avenge his father, he was not an impulsive person. Gaara knew very well how big the gap was between him and Orochimaru.
More importantly, no one knows what Orochimaru's purpose is.
Does Orochimaru have any grudge against Sunagakure Village?
have!
But that's because Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage. Even if there is hatred, it should be the Sunagakure Village that hates Orochimaru.
Is there anything in Sunagakure Village that Orochimaru should be concerned about?
Reincarnation in the dirt?
But even if Orochimaru destroyed the Earth Reincarnation, it would be useless. After all, there was still a complete Earth Reincarnation in Konoha.
Is it the mission of the Akatsuki organization?
The Akatsuki organization has always kept a low profile, and now it is even more dormant. Action seems unnecessary at this time.
Shikamaru pondered for a moment and said in a solemn tone: "Temari, what we have to do now is to find Orochimaru's whereabouts immediately, and then let Hinata take action to place the battlefield outside Sunagakure Village."
Temari nodded in agreement upon hearing this. This was indeed the best solution at the moment.
"But... we have lost Orochimaru's whereabouts." Temari said with an ugly expression.
Shikamaru said solemnly: "I want to report this matter to Hokage-sama immediately..."
"At this point, we can only let Hinata leave Sagakure to track Orochimaru's whereabouts!"
Turning his gaze to Temari, Shikamaru said: "Temari, report to Lord Kazekage immediately. Hinata cannot act without permission in the Kingdom of Wind without Lord Kazekage's order!"
Temari nodded: "I understand!"
Chapter 447: Is there any secret in this world?
In fact, after hearing this, Hinata already understood everything, but Hinata still had some doubts.
Although Hinata is too lazy to worry about those conspiracies and struggles for power, after all, she has been educated since she was a child, and she still has the analytical skills she should have.
Since it was information about Orochimaru, why did Temari deliberately distract herself?
Hinata didn't believe that the cooperation between the Hyuga family and Orochimaru had been exposed. If Konoha really knew about this, I'm afraid the Hyuga family would have been isolated long ago.
Sure enough, Temari's slightly hesitant voice came: "Ask Hinata to track down Orochimaru, this..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Shikamaru said solemnly: "Although the village has concerns about this, I always believe in Hinata!"
You believe it!
Hinata couldn't help but complain.
Previously, Hinata asked Shikamaru about the deployment situation of Sunagakure Village, but Shikamaru changed the subject as a joke.
In fact, this can't be entirely blamed on Shikamaru. After all, this is no longer the carefree childhood. Tsunade promoted the three families of Ino, Shika and Butterfly to check and balance the Hyuga family, which gradually caused rifts between the several families who had a relatively good relationship.
Although this kind of conflict will not be expressed in Hinata's generation, Nara Shikaku and Hinata Hizashi will not let the younger generation interfere in their affairs.
But after all, being in a family, under the subtle influence, it will have an impact on the younger generations to some extent.
However, Nara Shikaku has a high IQ and a relatively easy-going personality, and Hinata Hizashi does not want to participate in village affairs, so this conflicting relationship is not too strong.
It's just the imagination of some other tribesmen who don't know the truth and made up the conflicts between several families.
Hinata originally thought that Shikamaru was hiding something about her because of family connections, but now it seems that there is indeed something she doesn't know about.
Temari looked at Shikamaru for a while, then said: "Since you believe in Hinata, then I am also willing to believe in her..."
Hinata: I'm sorry, I'm going to betray your trust!
After a pause, Temari continued: "During the time Hinata was in Sunagakure Village, she was always under the sight of ANBU..."
Before Temari finished speaking, Shikamaru interrupted: "The one the ANBU saw was probably just a shadow clone. If she wants to hide it, the ANBU roots can't find her whereabouts."
"But the secret medicine used by the Hyuga clan to increase their strength..."
At this point, Shikamaru frowned slightly, obviously worried.
After all, it was related to the Hinata family, and it was not easy for Konoha to investigate openly, so Tsunade used Gaara's power to pursue it secretly, and Temari also knew about it.
The Hyuga clan has never studied herbal medicine. Even if there are some medical ninjas in the clan, the secret medicine that can improve strength cannot be researched casually.
Tsunade is Orochimaru's teammate, so she naturally knows Orochimaru's talent.
Even without evidence, Tsunade has linked the Hyuga clan to Orochimaru.
Temari shook her head and said, "Gaara's control over the village is not strong enough now, so he can't fully investigate this matter. There are no clues yet."
Hinata was a little tired. Is there any secret in this world?
Can you associate Orochimaru with the secret medicine alone?
Okay! You guessed it right!
Most of the tasks of ninjas are actually to inquire about gossip, uh, to gather intelligence, and what is exactly related to intelligence is intelligence analysis ability.
Analytical ability and the ability to formulate combat plans are the hard-core standards for assessing an excellent ninja.
Take the Chunin exam in the original work as an example. When Sasuke saw that he didn't know any of the questions in the written exam, combined with the information revealed in Ibiki's words, he could think that this was an exam to test cheating ability.
