Itachi Uchiha, Thoroughly Set Up by Hinata

Hinata scratched her face, looking conflicted.

"You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Those Stone Ninja came to ambush us, but I used the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to drive them all away."

Hinata felt that Naruto had to take the blame for being considered the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Why can't you, a genuine Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, handle the Nine-Tails?

Instead of letting me, the counterfeit, take the blame for you?

If it doesn't listen to you, just beat it up!

If you can't beat them, just act cute!

If being cute doesn't work, try feeding it delicious food!

There are so many ways to raise pigs, cats, and dogs; there's bound to be one that suits you.

If Hinata is truly a counterfeit Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, then Hinata will accept it.

Hinata isn't even a knock-off now; she's just a fake.

Am I, Otsutsuki Hinata, destined to bear the name of "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki" in the Shinobi World from now on?

That would be so embarrassing!

All Nine Tailed Beasts belong to our family, and I have the potential to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hyuga Hiashi's expression was serious.

Danzo had previously visited Hyuga Hiashi and discussed Hinata with him.

So when Hyuga Hiashi first heard that Iwagakure believed Hinata was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he thought it was a conspiracy by Danzo.

But hearing Hinata say that, then this matter should have nothing to do with Danzo, but rather that Iwagakure made a mistake on their own.

However, Danzo also has to bear 80% of the blame.

Actually, if it was just Iwagakure that made a mistake, then it wouldn't matter.

The key issue is that Hinata can transfer Nine-Tails's Chakra to others.

This is an unprecedented event in the Shinobi World, and if it is confirmed to be true, Hinata's situation will be extremely dangerous.

The Iwagakure will definitely spread this news.

Even Konoha faces a certain amount of pressure.

"Hinata, you should stay in the village for now and not go out on missions!"

Hinata nodded frantically.

This is absolutely fantastic!

The Shinobi World is too dangerous. I want to stay at home and not go out.

If anyone else had said that, Hinata would definitely not have agreed, in order to save face.

However, Hinata wasn't so concerned about saving face in front of Hyuga Hiashi.

It's so great not having to do missions. I can stay home all day, and when I'm bored, I can go out shopping and enjoy the food in Konoha.

Thinking about it this way, Iwagakure) did a good deed!

I must find some time to go to Iwagakure to personally thank Ōnoki, and also thank his son, Kitsuchi, and his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi.

The most important thing for a family is to be together.

Hyuga Hiashi. Hinata is very talented, but she has an unreliable personality and a knack for causing trouble. What should we do in the future?

Go and do your own thing!

"OK!"

"Goodbye, Father!"

In a cave somewhere in the Land of Rain, figures dressed in black robes with red clouds appeared one after another.

The figure was somewhat illusory; this was the Akatsuki's Limbo: Border Jail.

"We just met, what's wrong now?"

"Could it be that the organization is about to disband? I'm performing a ritual right now. If I disturb the offerings to the Lord of Evil, I'll be cursed by Lord of Evil!"

"It seems there was a mistake in the intelligence from Konoha."

"..."

Pain's phantom slowly appeared, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and he said calmly, "Ze, you tell me!"

"Hehehe... News has come from Iwagakure that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Konoha Iwagakure is not Naruto Uzumaki ~ but that little girl named Hinata Hyuga."

As soon as White Zetsu finished speaking, Black Zetsu continued, "A few days ago, Konoha was escorting the One- Jonin One-Tail Jinchuriki back to Sunagakure when they were ambushed by Stone Ninja. Iwagakure Kitsuchi personally confirmed that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is Hinata Hyuga!"

"Iwagakure has already relayed this information to the Shinobi World."

Kisame wondered, "Why does Iwagakure do this?"

White Zetsu chuckled, "That's because Hinata Hyuga can lend the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to outsiders~"

"According to my information, she has done this three times already."

Sasori of the Red Sands scoffed, "She did that too, Orochimaru thing?"

White Zetsu said with a grin, "That battle started rather suddenly. By the time I arrived, it was already over~"

"But Hinata Hyuga was there at the time, so it's very likely she was the one who did it~"

Pain turned his gaze to Itachi Uchiha and asked calmly, "Itachi! Do you have anything to say?"

Itachi Uchiha: MMP!

This organization is beyond saving. They actually believe such nonsense and even called a meeting to discuss it.

I've lived in Konoha for thirteen years, how could I not know who the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is?

Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "The people from Iwagakure must have made a mistake."

Pain didn't press the matter further. In any case, there were still three years left, and he would find out sooner or later whether the intelligence was true or false.

For ninja villages, information about Jinchuriki is top secret.

Despite being hated by Naruto in Konoha because of his identity as the 'Demon Fox,' Naruto's identity is a top secret to people from other villages.

Even though everyone in the village knew that Naruto was the incarnation of the Demon Fox and looked at Naruto strangely, the Third still issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from talking about Naruto.

In the Original Story, during the rescue of Gaara, even Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sands didn't know what Naruto looked like and had to ask Itachi Uchiha.

So when Pain first received the information that Hinata might be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Pain did suspect Itachi Uchiha, believing that he had provided the organization with false information.

But since Itachi Uchiha insisted that Naruto was the real Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Pain didn't believe he would lie about this.

"Since Iwagakure misjudged the intelligence, then we can leave this matter alone."

"However, the reason why Iwagakure misjudged the intelligence is very concerning. Hinata Hyuga was able to lend the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to an outsider... Zetsu, do you have any reliable information?"

White Zetsu chuckled, "Of course it's true!"

"That little girl named Hinata Hyuga is quite remarkable. Her Dojutsu power can see through the Tailed Beasts inside the Jinchuriki, and it seems she has even reached some kind of agreement with Nine-Tails."

"Hehehe... But after something like this, Konoha probably won't send her out on missions again anytime soon!"

Pain said in a deep voice, "Zetsu! Pay close attention to information about Hinata Hyuga. Kisame and Itachi's last mission failed because of her."

Although they couldn't see Kisame's expression clearly, everyone could sense that Kisame's aura was somewhat unnatural.

It's so hard for him!

Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "The Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu has great limitations, and Hinata Hyuga's achievements have probably reached their limit."

Pain gave a curt "hmm," his eyes turning cold as he said, "There are only three years left. I hope you can all complete your missions?"

The cave was silent; no one answered Pain's question.

Pain was already used to this, and said calmly, "Well then... see you in three years!"

Before disappearing, Pain made a point of glancing at Itachi Uchiha.
