"Tsunade, Lady Tsunade, this is not good, it's so late!"
"..."
"Forget it, tomorrow!"
Chapter 466 Malicious revenge and the person who takes the blame
Early in the morning, in a courtyard somewhere in the Hyuga mansion.
Hinata, wearing a training suit, with a pair of half-asleep eyes, is fighting with the sage Hyuga Hiashi.
'Pah pah pah...'
Although there are only Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi in the courtyard, it is broad daylight after all. Even if the sound of the soft fist fighting is a bit dirty, it will not cause misunderstandings from outsiders.
After absorbing Urashiki's chakra and Hinata's help in sensing natural energy, after a period of hard training, Hyuga Hiashi finally mastered the sage mode.
But pulling Hinata out for sparring early in the morning...
This is definitely malicious revenge!
Didn't I just disturb your good things a few nights ago? As for pulling me out of the quilt early in the morning?
Hinata is full of resentment and her actions are much more vicious.
However, with pupil techniques and ultimate skills banned, and even the ability to condense natural energy to add debuffs to opponents banned, Hinata couldn't defeat the immortal Hyuga Hiashi in a short time with just basic soft fists.
It's true that the apprentice is taught, but the master is starved to death!
Opposite Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi is in high spirits, with fluttering clothes. If there weren't a few more wrinkles on his face, his clothes would be similar to a bathrobe, and he would really have the demeanor of a handsome gentleman.
What a pity!
Hinata shook her head secretly, time is gone forever!
"Okay!"
Seeing that it was time for breakfast, Hyuga Hiashi waved his palm to repel Hinata, patted the dust on his sleeves with satisfaction, turned around and left without mercy.
Hinata: "..."
If you have the ability, use pupil techniques to fight!
What's the point of just using soft fists?
Just stand still and let you fight!
"Hmph!"
Hinata cursed Hiashi Hyuga fiercely in her heart, and walked towards her room on tiptoe.
Eat or catch up on sleep, this is a very serious question.
Hokage Building.
Nara Shikaku was summoned by Tsunade early in the morning.
In fact, the situation in the ninja world is so chaotic that Nara Shikaku didn't rest much last night, but talked with Shikamaru until late at night, and learned about Shikamaru's experience in the Sand Village in detail.
Looking at Nara Shikaku standing opposite her, Tsunade felt a little relieved.
Facing such a chaotic ninja world, having a highly intelligent person to help her analyze the situation did save Tsunade a lot of brain cells.
However, in the world of ninjas, intelligence alone is useless, and strong strength is also required.
If Jiraiya is also there...
Tsunade shook her head slightly.
In the current situation, even if Jiraiya comes back, it won't have any effect!
I don't know how Naruto's training is going!
"Tell me about it!"
Tsunade rested her chin on both hands, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She looked at Nara Shikaku with dead eyes like Kakashi.
"Uh..."
Nara Shikaku was startled and said dryly: "Tsunade-sama, you really should have a good rest."
"Ahem!"
After a light cough, Nara Shikaku continued: "I talked to Shikamaru last night. Although the thing you have been worried about has not yet shown any signs, in a sense, it has been confirmed!"
"Really?"
Tsunade said lightly: "But this kind of thing can't be handled now!"
When Hinata was in the Sand Village, she refused to chase the Cloud Ninja and take back the stolen Impure World Reincarnation.
Although Hinata also had her own reasons, and it was reasonable from the situation at the time, it did not conform to Hinata's previous personality.
Hinata is not a person who worries so much.
And according to the information from Sand Village, it is said that Hinata had delayed with the Third Hokage for a long time after sealing three Kages in succession.
Of course, according to Hinata's explanation, this matter was actually the Third Hokage's fault.
And Hinata's "explanation" must not be known to Sand Village. Even if they may have guessed it, they have to pretend not to know it on the surface.
This matter is also reasonable.
After all, Hinata did not deliberately delay the time when she sealed the first three Kages. As soon as she met the Third Hokage, she was slow to take him down... This is obviously what the Third Hokage said to Hinata.
However, even if Hinata has a reasonable explanation for all her actions, all kinds of coincidences together are enough to determine the facts in the absence of "evidence".
If it was Danzo, he should have started planning how to deal with the Hyuga clan at this time.
But Tsunade, as Hokage, must have conclusive evidence... In fact, even if the evidence is conclusive, it is difficult to deal with the problem of the Hyuga clan with Konoha's current strength.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Nara Shikaku nodded slightly and stopped worrying about the Hyuga clan.
"As the person who pushed the chaos in the ninja world, Orochimaru's purpose is the focus of our next investigation!"
Nara Shikaku frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "This doesn't seem to be the plan of the Akatsuki organization. Even if Orochimaru has some connection with the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan has no reason to do this!"
Even if it is a genius with an IQ of 200, it is impossible to guess other people's purpose without intelligence as a basis.
Nara Shikaku continued his analysis: "Hinata's appearance in Sunagakure Village should just be a coincidence, not a deliberate arrangement."
Tsunade nodded in approval upon hearing this.
It was Tsunade's plan to let Hinata go to Sunagakure Village to be responsible for the security of the Chunin Exam. She wanted to take advantage of Hinata's absence from Konoha to investigate the secrets of the Hyuga clan.
It was originally at least a month before the end of the chunin exams, and Tsunade had already made arrangements, but she did not expect such a thing to happen in Sunagakure Village.
But since Hinata's appearance in Sunagakure Village is a coincidence, it means that the Sunagakure collapse plan has nothing to do with the Hyuga clan.
Thinking of this, Tsunade also breathed a sigh of relief.
From the current point of view, although the Hyuga clan has been taking secret medicine to improve their strength, at least they have no other plans.
Tsunade became a little more energetic, looked at Nara Shikaku and said loudly: "Keep talking!"
"yes!"
Nara Shikaku nodded and said: "From now on, it should be certain that Orochimaru and Raikage will cooperate!"
"The Raikage's purpose is to gather all the filthy earth to reincarnate, so what is Orochimaru's purpose?"
"Orochimaru was in Sunagakure Village, but he didn't get anything!"
Tsunade frowned. The Orochimaru she knew was a person who couldn't afford to do anything early.
Without enough profit, Orochimaru would rather stay in the underground base to do research than come out to meet people.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Tsunade suddenly raised her head and looked at Nara Shikaku.
"Orochimaru's goal...should be the Byakugan of Kirigakure Village!"
Tsunade analyzed: "Two years ago, Orochimaru planned the collapse of Konoha in order to get Sasuke."
"However, some time ago, Sasuke suddenly became stronger and left Orochimaru's side. Now he is missing."
"Then the only thing that can arouse Orochimaru's interest should be the Byakugan, which is one of the three major pupil techniques along with the Sharingan!"
Chapter 467: The older generation of Pig, Deer and Die are out
"No!" Nara Shikaku shook his head, overturning Tsunade's guess.
Tsunade ‘Huh? ’ He made a sound and signaled Nara Shikaku with his eyes to continue.
"Orochimaru...maybe he doesn't like the transplanted eyes, right?"
Nara Shikaku analyzed: "According to the intelligence, Orochimaru achieved his goal of immortality by 'reincarnating without a corpse'. In this case, Orochimaru should prefer to be reincarnated into a perfect body rather than transplanting some kind of pupil technique.”
Tsunade patted her forehead and felt much more awake.
Just when she was guessing Orochimaru's purpose, Tsunade relied on a woman's unique sixth sense and intuitively felt that Orochimaru's purpose was the Byakugan of Kirigakure Village.
However, after Nara Shikaku's calm analysis, Tsunade suddenly thought of the technique of 'Fujin Reincarnation'.
After a moment of silence, Tsunade frowned and said, "Now both Kumogakure and Iwagakure have set their sights on Kirigakure, and Orochimaru seems to be preparing to get involved."
"Is it true that Orochimaru's purpose is just to provoke a war among the five great ninja villages?"
Although this is also possible.
However, the Akatsuki organization has not taken any action. In the plan of Sunagakure Village, only Orochimaru took action.
According to the working style of the Akatsuki organization, they have always acted as a team of two. They cooperate with each other and monitor each other.
"If the Akatsuki organization wants to stay out of the matter, Orochimaru has already joined the Akatsuki organization..."
Tsunade murmured to herself, unable to figure out Orochimaru for a while.
If Orochimaru's purpose is to provoke a war among the five great ninja villages, then there must be someone behind the scenes, and Orochimaru is just an executor at best.
But no matter how you look at this matter now, it seems to be Orochimaru's own idea.
Looking at Nara Shikaku, Tsunade asked in a deep voice: "Shikaku, what do you think?"
Nara Shikaku took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "Although I don't want to speculate like this, but..."
"Tsunade-sama, do you still remember the scene you told me before that Jiraiya-sama saw in the genjutsu?"
Tsunade's expression changed: "You mean..."
Nara Shikaku guessed: "You have always guessed that the secret medicine taken by the Hyuga clan came from Orochimaru."
"But why did Orochimaru help the Hyuga clan make the secret medicine?"
"If your guess is correct, then there must be some kind of deal between the Hyuga clan and Orochimaru."
After a pause, Nara Shikaku looked into Tsunade's eyes and said solemnly: "And this transaction may be related to the history of a thousand years ago!"
Tsunade wondered: "Then what can Orochimaru get from it?"
"This requires us to investigate!"
Nara Shikaku guessed: "Maybe it's the power of the tailed beast, or maybe it's some kind of blood inheritance limit, or maybe it's some secret hidden in the five great ninja villages!"
Tailed beast?
Tsunade and Nara Shikaku looked at each other and heard that Gaara did use the power of the One-Tail when the Six Shadows attacked Sunagakure Village.
If Orochimaru wanted to get the power of the tailed beast, then it would be reasonable for him to instigate a war among the five great ninja villages.
Because only in war can Orochimaru gain the power of the tailed beast.
Of course, this is all just speculation at the moment.
However, Nara Shikaku said something right. Since Orochimaru is willing to help the Hyuga clan make secret medicine, there must be an ulterior deal between the two.
Nara Shikaku continued: "Tsunade-sama, it concerns the overall situation of the ninja world, and Konoha cannot stay out of it!"
Tsunade was silent after hearing this.
