"Release the seal on the Nine-Tails..."
"That won't do!"
Tsunade quickly calmed down and released the Nine-Tails from its seal, something Tsunade absolutely could not allow.
Hinata can trust Nine-Tails, but that doesn't mean others will trust Nine-Tails.
If the seal is removed, the Nine-Tails could emerge from Naruto's body at any time, and this matter is of great importance.
However, from Hinata's words, Tsunade also gained a general understanding of the power that Hinata and Naruto could wield together.
Tsunade sat down again and asked calmly, "What are your plans?"
Although she asked "you all", Tsunade was mainly looking at Shizune, hoping that Shizune could come up with a perfect solution to the matter.
Hinata looked at Tsunade and said confidently, "Big Sister, I have three plans!"
Tsunade sighed and said, "Tell me about it!"
Hinata nodded, held up one finger, and said, "The first plan is for Naruto and me to go to Iwagakure..."
"No!"
Hinata could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted, "Tell me your second plan!"
Hinata pursed her lips, held up two fingers, and said, "The second plan is that our Hyuga Clan can use 300 million ryo (turning into three fingers) to hire the Akatsuki to assassinate Ōnoki and his son, Kitsuchi!"
"No!"
Tsunade refused again, explaining in a deep voice, "When Itachi Uchiha came to Konoha last time, he made it very clear that his target was the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. Based on this, Akatsuki's true objective should be all the Tailed Beasts, including the Nine-Tails."
"Hiring Akatsuki will only accelerate their growth!"
"Absolutely not!"
Now that Tsunade has succeeded Hokage Position, nothing in Konoha is a secret to her.
However, Tsunade and Itachi Uchiha did not have much contact, so she was actually half-believing and half-doubting Itachi Uchiha.
However, based on the intelligence gathered by Jiraiya, it is almost certain that Akatsuki's primary target is the Tailed Beasts.
Tsunade rubbed her temples and said calmly, "Tell me about your third plan."
"The third plan—"
Hinata scratched her face and hesitated, "Then it might be a long time before we can implement it."
"Oh?"
Tsunade became interested upon hearing this.
Hinata's first two plans were practically tantamount to starting a war, but since this third plan doesn't involve starting a war, it's worth listening to.
"Tell me, what's your third plan?"
Hinata said shyly, "It's just that when I'm a little stronger..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more!"
Tsunade interrupted directly and expressed her despair regarding Hinata's plan.
"I will hold a Jonin meeting with the village's Jonin to discuss this matter and launch a targeted counterattack against Iwagakure's actions."
"Hinata! You have to stay in the village during this time, understand?"
Hinata said dejectedly, "I understand!"
Hinata was a little down after getting off work that evening.
Although Iwagakure has not yet launched any action against Hinata, this kind of scheming still makes Hinata unhappy.
I didn't steal any of your rice!
Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Onoki, the Ōnoki Tsuchikage Iwagakure, is considered one of the darker ones.
Don't be fooled by Raikage's constant muscle-flexing; that's all he has to show off, even his mind is full of muscles.
During the Kage Summit in the Original Story manga, the Fourth Raikage revealed a truth: someone from one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had once hired the Akatsuki.
Although Raikage A did not name names, Ōnoki did not deny it on the spot.
Ōnoki stated that the situation in the Shinobi World had become more peaceful at that time, and the relationship between the Five Great Shinobi Villages had gradually eased, unlike before when conflicts and wars would break out at the drop of a hat.
Therefore, the ninja villages that controlled the military forces of various countries gradually became a heavy burden on the national treasury.
As a result, the government had to reduce funding for the ninja villages.
Neither the Land of Wind nor the Land of Earth is wealthy, so among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the villages of Sunagakure and Iwagakure suffered the most severe budget cuts.
In contrast, during peacetime, Kumogakure) spares no effort in collecting Ninjutsu and expanding its military strength.
For the sake of Iwagakure, Ōnoki had no choice but to hire the Akatsuki to do their bidding.
Ōnoki uses the reputation of Iwagakure to take on extremely difficult missions, and then hires Akatsuki ninjas to carry them out.
In this back and forth, Iwagakure didn't have to give anything, but they completed the mission excellently and even received a considerable amount of mission rewards.
Even during the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations era, Hinata saw online that Ōnoki seemed to have turned to the dark side...
Hinata did indeed consider spending a lot of money to hire the Akatsuki to assassinate Ōnoki; he simply couldn't stand seeing others do well.
However, Tsunade is right. What if the Akatsuki receives a huge sum of money and acts prematurely?
Hinata racked her brains for a whole day, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
"I must start cultivating diligently!"
Hinata also felt the pressure. With Hinata's current strength, she was helpless against Dust Release.
Moreover, Ōnoki can fly.
Back home, Hinata locked herself in her room, pondering what to do about the situation.
Since we can't solve this with force, we'll have to rely on intelligence.
Hinata wondered if there were any similar experiences from her past life that she could learn from.
"But how do we do it?"
Hinata had considered saying that she could only lend the Nine-Tails Chakra to a few people... but Sunagakure actually knew the truth.
The Sunagakure suffered such a devastating defeat in the Konoha Crush Plan that they might secretly leak some information to the Iwagakure.
It doesn't matter whether Hinata or Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; what matters is that Hinata can transfer the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to others.
Hinata touched her chin...
If Sunagakure and Iwagakure really have secret intelligence exchanges, then Hinata isn't actually in danger; the real danger lies with the Hyuga Main Family.
"This is so troublesome!"
"I should have known better than to do that!"
Hinata rolled out of bed and rushed to Hyuga Hiashi's bedroom, banging on the door.
After a long while, Hyuga Hiashi slammed the door open, his face dark, and asked, "Hinata? What do you want so late?"
Hinata said anxiously, "Yes! Father, I have something very important to tell you."
"Wait a minute!"
Hyuga Hiashi, he came out dressed and said calmly, "Come to the study with me to talk."
Hinata said apologetically, "Sorry! I interrupted your good time with Mom!"
Hyuga Hiashi asked, his face filled with shock, "Hinata, do you know what we're doing?"
Hinata looked embarrassed, then quickly explained, her face slightly flushed, "Um! I know a little! I saw Big Sister with those women when I went to find her with the Pervy Sage... umm!"
Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
Damn Jiraiya, Hinata is only twelve years old!
