Chapter 339
For Itachi, Sasuke is the only hope in his life. He can destroy his family and kill girls he likes for Konoha, but he is unwilling to kill Sasuke no matter what.
Uh...it always feels weird.
In fact, if you think about what happened back then, the coup of the Uchiha clan is impossible to succeed. The enemies of this clan are not only the Hokage family, but also many families in Konoha.
Even if Itachi and Shisui all stand on the side of the family, there are still Jiraiya and Tsunade on Konoha's side.
Once the Uchiha clan launches a coup, the third generation will secretly recall the Sannin and assemble the strongest force in Konoha.
When the coup was bound to fail, Uchiha Itachi chose to save the village and at the same time preserve the only bloodline of Uchiha. This can only be said to be his helpless move.
If given a choice, who would be willing to turn the butcher knife on their loved ones?
"kindness!"
Uchiha Itachi responded. He had been waiting for this day for eight full years. He had been ready to face Sasuke as early as the moment he destroyed the Uchiha clan.
This may be the best outcome now.
"That's good!"
After exchanging news with Uchiha Itachi, Hinata also had a rough judgment on the next situation.
After packing her ninja equipment, Hinata left the Hyuga Residence and ran towards the gate of Konoha.
Jiraiya had already arrived. After seeing Hinata, he smiled and said hello: "Hi! It's rare that our Miss Hinata didn't lose her temper this time."
Hinata spat softly and leaned against the door frame with her eyes closed to relax, too lazy to pay attention to this old pervert.
The situation in the ninja world today has changed a lot compared to the original work. Who knows what the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku will say to Jiraiya?
That old toad has the ability to predict, and he might see some future scenes in his sleep.
What's more, the soul of the Six Paths Sage has always resided in the ninja world, and may also be connected to the Great Toad Sage.
Jiraiya didn't care about Hinata's attitude, or he was used to it. Unless he spent money, Jiraiya didn't have much luck with women.
"Alas!" Jiraiya sighed and suddenly became serious: "I didn't expect that in just three years, the ninja world would already be in such chaos."
Jiraiya forced a conversation, but Hinata could only open her eyes and curled her lips and said: "Sexy Sento, you should have been used to this kind of thing, right? Having experienced World War II and World War III, you will also feel that the current ninja world is very chaotic. ?"
Jiraiya said bitterly: "Who would get used to war?"
"makes sense……"
Hinata said slightly: "Although ninjas are associated with killing and war, ninjas also yearn for peace. This road may be difficult, but a peaceful world does not need ninjas."
Hinata had seen discussions about "Boruto" on the Internet in her previous life. When technology flourishes in the world of ninjas, the importance of ninjas will naturally gradually decrease.
Ninjas, on the other hand, are not engaged in production, do not understand economics, and are useless except for fighting.
"This view is different from yours three years ago."
Jiraiya's face became serious: "It is precisely because this road will be difficult that our generation needs to work hard."
Hinata said calmly: "People will always change, maybe because they have experienced more things!"
Jiraiya asked curiously: "Oh? What other major events in life can you, a little girl, experience?"
"It's not a big deal!"
Hinata chuckled and said, "But many times, it's often just the little things that change us."
Having said this, Hinata looked up at the sky and said in an ethereal tone: "Take this incident of the Three-Tails as an example. The Akatsuki organization wants to capture the Three-Tails. Kirigakure also wants to get the Three-Tails. As an ally of Kirigakure Village, Konoha I will definitely support Kirigakure..."
"But the Three-Tail is also a life with wisdom and self. Since its resurrection, it has never caused any trouble."
"But we never consider the opinions of the three tails. Kirigakure Village even regards the three tails as 'private' property..."
Hinata scoffed.
"How arrogant!"
"It was the first Hokage who forcibly sealed the Kyuubi, and then the Kyuubi broke the seal and took revenge on Konoha... But the Konoha ninja never considered the cause and effect of the matter, and would only blame everything on the Kyuubi, and even called the Kyuubi ' "The demon fox', even Naruto as a jinchuriki was implicated!"
"Even the Fourth Hokage, who is called a 'hero', gave up his life to seal the Nine-Tails for Konoha, just to let Konoha regain the Jinchūriki."
"But where is Kyuubi?"
"It never belonged to Konoha. It was the first generation who took the Nine-Tails away. Over time, it was regarded as private by Konoha..."
Turning his gaze to Jiraiya, Hinata said calmly: "In my opinion, there is actually no difference between the five great ninja villages and Akatsuki when it comes to the treatment of tailed beasts."
“I claim to be righteous, but it’s just because of the strength of numbers…”
"Of course, as Konoha ninjas, we don't need to consider whether this matter is just or not, we just need to be good for Konoha!"
Jiraiya looked at Hinata deeply and then fell silent.
It is undeniable that the ninjas have never considered the idea of tailed beasts. Since the tailed beasts were divided equally at the first Five Kage Conference, each village has regarded the tailed beasts as private property.
Hinata's last words shocked Jiraiya even more.
"Indeed... maybe what we did is not absolutely correct..."
After a long time, Jiraiya said: "For the so-called ninja world situation and the so-called peace, we have indeed done many wrong things."
"But just because we have made mistakes before, we should find a new path, instead of holding on to past mistakes."
Hinata looked up, glanced at Jiraiya, and chuckled: "I think so too... and I have found my own path."
At this point, Hinata stared straight into Jiraiya's eyes.
"You have your path, I have my path... So when our paths are different, how will you choose?"
Jiraiya flashed Hinata's eyes, and for the first time he didn't dare to look directly into Hinata's eyes.
After living for so many years, even though Jiraiya is an idealist, he also knows deeply that when two people have different ideas and cannot convince each other, the only thing left is war.
"Just kidding!"
Hinata suddenly chuckled: "I just want to live comfortably and ignore all the troubles. How can I find a new path?"
Putting her hands behind her head, Hinata's eyes curved and smiled: "If it weren't for Konoha, I wouldn't bother to carry out the mission!"
'Swish! '
A figure flashed, and Naruto instantly appeared at the gate of Konoha.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Naruto said in a daze: "Eh? Hinata, did the lecherous sage bully you?"
'Pah! '
Jiraiya angrily slapped Naruto on the back of his head, and said with an unhappy face: "What are you talking about? As a senior, how could I bully a little girl? Don't ruin my reputation everywhere!"
"Since everyone is here, let's go!"
Chapter 528 Where is this chakra-filled rain...
Somewhere in the Land of Water.
The heavy cumulonimbus clouds covered the sky and the sun, blocking the sunlight tightly, and the forest was filled with thick fog that was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Under the dark clouds, the wind and rain as dense as a curtain of water hit the earth, and the waves in the distance surged.
Jiraiya stood at the entrance of the cave with a huge scroll on his back, looking into the distance through the rain curtain.
"The storm lasted so long... The power of the three-tail is really shocking."
Hinata and Naruto sat around the fire, fiddling with the grilled fish that exuded an alluring aroma. After hearing Jiraiya's words, Hinata turned around and asked, "Then when will we act?"
It has been two days since they came to the Land of Water, and Konoha has already mastered the location of the three-tail hiding. Jiraiya was in charge of contacting the Hidden Mist Village, and it was said that the sealing ceremony had been prepared.
Jiraiya explained: "The three-tail is hiding at the bottom of a lake in the northeast area of the island. If the three-tail does not come out on its own, it is unwise to fight it underwater."
"The people of Kirigakure are trying to find a solution!"
Naruto shouted: "What should we do then?"
Jiraiya sighed and said: "The Kirigakure is responsible for sealing the three-tail. Our task is to guard against the sneak attack of the Akatsuki organization when they seal the three-tail."
After that, Jiraiya walked back to the cave, sat down by the fire, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. This fragrance... Tsk, it should be roasted, right?"
Naruto lowered his head slightly, thinking about Sasuke.
Sasuke also appeared near the three-tail, probably looking for Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts. If Sasuke took revenge...
Thinking of this, Naruto felt even more sad.
It is impossible for Sasuke to return to Konoha. Even if Naruto can bring Sasuke back, only life imprisonment awaits Sasuke.
After looking at Jiraiya, Naruto couldn't help but ask: "Sexy Sage, you and Orochimaru..." Jiraiya put down the grilled fish, patted Naruto on the shoulder, sighed and began to comfort Naruto. Hinata listened and ate the grilled fish... Since you don't want to eat, I won't be polite! Jiraiya is an idealist, and the future he hopes for is undoubtedly very beautiful. But he can't realize his ideal at all, he has neither the ability nor a mature plan. But Jiraiya has never given up hope. Even if the road ahead is confused, he will find the only way out in the confusion. Such a person is undoubtedly worthy of admiration! Thinking of the conversation with Jiraiya at the gate of Konoha a few days ago, Hinata fell into silence for a while. Hinata's words may be because of a whim, but more of them are Hinata's true thoughts. Three years after graduation, Hinata has seen some of the world, and coupled with her views and analysis of "Naruto" in her previous life, Hinata has a certain understanding of this world. There is no doubt that if a world wants to progress, it cannot lack people like Jiraiya and Naruto.
Even if this world still has many flaws and is not perfect in many places, we cannot blame others, let alone complain about the past, but we must adjust our mentality and work hard to create a better future.
Since we did wrong things in the past, we must work hard to correct these mistakes now.
‘Baji Baji…’
“Wow! Hinata, you are too cunning!” Naruto suddenly complained loudly: “You ate all the grilled fish while I was talking to the lecherous sage!”
Hinata: “…”
Hearing Naruto’s yelling, Hinata came back to her senses and looked at the fish bones on the ground with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Hinata was embarrassed not because she had robbed Naruto and Jiraiya’s rations, Hinata would not care about such things at all.
The real reason why Hinata felt embarrassed was... She had decided not to overeat in front of others and tried her best to pretend to be a gentle and lovely lady, but she didn't expect that her true colors would be exposed inadvertently.
'Boom——'
The outside of the cave suddenly became bright, and then a deafening thunder sounded. In the howling storm, the rain fell more and more urgently.
"This rain..."
Hinata turned her head to look at the entrance of the cave, and then looked at Jiraiya: "Lecherous Sage, do you feel it? This rain seems to contain chakra!"
Jiraiya got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, reached out and touched the rain, and his frowned brows frowned even tighter.
"Hinata, what do you think?"
Hinata: I'm not Yuan Fang!
Looking to the left and right, there was only herself in the cave except Naruto.
Hinata immediately understood Jiraiya's helplessness, and discussing things with Naruto was definitely the best choice.
After thinking for a while, Hinata said, "This should be some kind of perception-type ninjutsu. It seems that there are still unknown enemies hiding nearby!"
Naruto wondered, "Why is it an enemy? Using rain to sense... Could this be a ninjutsu from the Hidden Mist Village?"
"It's not impossible!"
Jiraiya frowned and said, "But I have fought with the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village before, and they should not have this ninjutsu. And manipulating such a large area of rain also requires a very large amount of chakra."
Although Jiraiya said it euphemistically, the meaning was obvious... The people of the Hidden Mist Village could not do this at all.
Is it Pein?
Hinata thought to herself, "Could it be that my previous guess was wrong? The Akatsuki organization did not want to use the Hidden Mist Village to seize the three-tailed beast, but Pein did it himself?"
Jiraiya shouted softly, "Hinata!"
"Understood!"
Opening the Byakugan, the black and white world became particularly clear, but the rain with chakra hindered the Byakugan's detection... This is the limitation of the Byakugan.
