Although Otogakure is one of Orochimaru's bases, it is a base that is exposed to the world, and Orochimaru would not keep too many confidential documents here.
Naruto created numerous Shadow Clones, Choji transformed into a giant, and with the help of Kiba and Akamaru, the group quickly cleared away most of the ruins.
Hinata also secretly collected some of Kimimaro's blood when the others weren't paying attention, intending to take it back for research.
That's about it!
After piling all the scrolls together, Choji, Kiba, Rock Lee sat on the ground, their tongues lolling out from exhaustion.
Naruto picked up a scroll and was about to unroll it, muttering, "Will these scrolls contain any information about Orochimaru?"
"Naruto, don't move!"
Hinata grabbed Naruto, stopping him, and said, "Do you remember the Heaven and Earth Scroll we got during the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams?"
"These scrolls may have been sealed by Orochimaru. If they are opened carelessly, their contents may be damaged."
Shikamaru nodded in agreement, "That's right! Let's hand these scrolls over to the village's Intelligence Division!"
"Woof woof!"
Akamaru suddenly barked twice, then Kiba turned to look into the distance and said in a deep voice, "Someone's coming!"
"Byakugan!"
Hinata her Byakugan into the distance, a relaxed smile on her face, and said, "Don't worry, it's Teacher Kakashi and the others."
"Teacher Asuma and Teacher Might Guy are here too, and oh yeah... Pervy Sage is here as well."
This shows the difference between the Inuzuka Clan's secret techniques and the Byakugan.
While Akamaru might remember the scent of some familiar people, how could Jonin leave such an obvious opening for the enemy?
By simply mixing in some random ingredients to confuse the smells, we can fool Akamaru's nose.
But Byakugan is different.
Even when using the Transformation Jutsu, the Byakugan can see through the flow of Chakra within the opponent's body.
For Byakugan users, the Transformation Jutsu itself is their most fatal weakness.
Of course, Byakugan is not without its limitations.
For example, Orochimaru's Face-Stealing Ninjutsu uses real skin, making it difficult for the Byakugan to detect any flaws.
'Swish swish swish swish swish—'
The four people and the dog simultaneously used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Hinata and the others.
First, he looked at Hinata and the others.
Seeing that none of them were seriously injured, Jiraiya and the other three were relieved.
Then he looked around...
It was a ruin, with rubble and broken wood everywhere. In the middle, it seemed that someone had cleared out a space, and it was vaguely visible that it was an underground base.
Actually, this place was originally a valley, but the Nine-Tails' two consecutive Tailed Beast Bomb attacks leveled it to the ground.
Hinata waved enthusiastically and said, "Yo! Pervy Sage, Teacher Kakashi, Teacher Asuma, Teacher Might Guy, you've all arrived!"
Kakashi's face was stern as he reprimanded Hinata in a deep voice, "Hinata, you've gone too far this time!"
Hinata looked around, a hint of confusion on her face, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"We raided Orochimaru's Otogakure to retrieve Sasuke, and we didn't encounter any danger, did we?"
"We just couldn't catch up with Sasuke; Orochimaru got away."
Hinata, hands on her hips, looking utterly disappointed, said dismissively, "To be honest, Orochimaru, this 'one of the Legendary Sannin,' is really too weak. He was actually beaten to a pulp by a few of us Chunin and Genin..."
"This is absolutely outrageous! Orochimaru is a disgrace to the Legendary Sannin!"
Jiraiya: "..."
Why do I always feel like Tsunade and I were also dragged into this criticism?
Asuma chuckled and said, "Forget it! Since they're all alright... Kakashi, don't blame them!"
The Third Hokage... was also defeated by Orochimaru, that 'fake' guy!
Kakashi walked over, glanced at the scrolls piled on the ground, and asked, "Is this all the information you've gathered on this trip?"
Shikamaru grunted and nodded, saying, "None of us have experience handling special intelligence, so we didn't open it to check."
"We plan to take it back to the village first, and then hand it over to the Intelligence Division and the Cipher Division for processing."
Kakashi nodded and said, "You did the right thing!"
After saying that, Kakashi looked around at the battlefield.
With just his imagination, he could picture what the previous battle had been like.
Hinata and Nine-Tails (the Nine-Tails) reached some kind of agreement, allowing Nine-Tails to use Naruto's body and unleash two powerful attacks that directly destroyed the Otogakure.
After the two explosions, there were probably very few survivors from the Otogakure.
Hinata and the others borrowed Nine-Tails's Chakra, and with Nine-Tails himself joining the battle, Orochimaru was instantly defeated... There were no surprises!
It's a miracle you didn't die!
This is absolutely unreasonable!
Kakashi asked himself honestly, even if Konoha faced such an attack, it probably wouldn't be much better off than Otogakure.
Even Kakashi would have no chance of surviving an attack by Tailed Beast Bomb without any warning.
Kakashi looked at Hinata.
That's terrifying!
Hinata's strength goes without saying; she's not much different from him.
However, Hinata possesses an advantage that Kakashi cannot match at all.
Hinata a vast amount of Chakra and also wields powerful techniques.
They can even use their special move as a basic attack...
Kakashi was there when Hinata fought Itachi Uchiha by the Konoha River.
Kakashi asked himself, even if he were in Itachi Uchiha's position at the time, he would have had little chance of retaliating against Hinata's continuous killing moves.
No! Hinata will definitely beat me to death.
But now...
Despite her own immense strength, Hinata is also able to control the Nine-Tails.
Just by looking at Naruto's condition, it's clear that although the Nine-Tails was released, it didn't take over Naruto's body.
This means that Nine-Tails was consciously controlling its Chakra to avoid harming Naruto.
Nine-Tails wouldn't have done this before.
Hinata felt a little uneasy under Kakashi's gaze. She took a few steps back, looking at Kakashi warily, and asked cautiously, "Teacher Kakashi, are you thinking about something bad?"
"Ah--"
Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, scratched his head, and said weakly, "Since you're all alright, let's go back to the village first!"
"Speaking of which, I still have a ton of tasks waiting for me in the village!"
Hinata suddenly remembered that she had previously made up her mind to turn over a new leaf.
After Naruto left, only Kakashi and himself remained in Team 7.
We need to be nicer to Kakashi.
Thinking of this, Hinata smiled gently at Kakashi with her eyes crinkling, and invited, "Teacher Kakashi, let me invite you out to play when we get back to the village!"
"You seem pretty tired lately, let's go out and relax together!"
Kakashi's eye twitched slightly?
Want to relax?
How to relax?
Something doesn't look good.
"Hehehe... There's no need to go out and play. When I'm bored, I usually stay at home and read."
Hinata said with a disdainful look, "What's so interesting about 'Icha Icha Paradise'?"
"Teacher Kakashi, there's no way you'll never get a girlfriend if you stay home all the time!"
Hinata was curious about Jiraiya's famous work, "Icha Icha Paradise," but that was just curiosity.
Hinata didn't think there was anything particularly interesting about the content of "Icha Icha Paradise".
In her previous life, Hinata even read her own doujinshi... cough cough!
Jiraiya then said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Little Hinata, 'Icha Icha Paradise' is my masterpiece, a classic that's a bestseller throughout the Shinobi World... but you can't watch it now!"
"Hehehe..."
Jiraiya grinned lewdly and said, "But once you're an adult, you'll understand how wonderful this novel is."
"This immortal traveled all over the Shinobi World to gather material for this novel..."
