The Thrill of Being the Big Boss Behind the Scenes

The current clues are very limited, and there's not much for Hinata and Jiraiya to discuss; everything awaits further investigation.

Back in her room, Hinata took a shower, wrapped herself in a blanket, lay on the bed, and pondered what to do next.

Hinata wants to plant trees all over the universe with Kaguya Otsutsuki, but she doesn't want to fall out with Konoha. There's just too much she needs to do.

Based on the available information, Kaguya Otsutsuki was very affectionate towards her descendants, and the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan also has a tradition of passing on their power to the next generation before their death.

Kaguya became greedy because she was immortal.

Since they are immortal, they don't need offspring.

The Ninja World is a rather special world, where the Natural Energy is enormous.

The Three Great Sage Regions utilize Natural Energy for cultivation. The Great Toad Sage has lived for over a thousand years, and the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest and the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave are also estimated to have lived for over a thousand years.

In comparison, Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki of the Otsutsuki clan were nothing but ignorant brats in front of the Three Great Sage Regions.

However, the Otsutsuki clan already begun planting trees throughout the universe before Kaguya, and their history is much longer than that of the Three Great Sage Regions.

From this perspective, Urashiki, Momoshiki, Kinshiki were truly just lowly soldiers of the Otsutsuki clan.

Perhaps because Hinata had already put herself in the shoes of the Otsutsuki clan, Hinata had absolutely no goodwill towards the Three Great Sage Regions.

Despite the immense power of the Three Great Sage Regions, they willingly became the Summoning Beast of ninjas, solely for the purpose of participating in the affairs of the Shinobi World.

Looking at the history of the Shinobi World, the contract partners of the Three Great Sage Regions are all figures who have had a great influence on the Shinobi World.

Jiraiya was misled by Mount Myōboku from a young age and spent his entire life searching for the so-called Child of Destiny.

As the Child of Destiny, Naruto may have brought about some changes to the Shinobi World, but the future Shinobi World still did not usher in peace; instead, it faced even more powerful enemies.

Clearly, the Child of Destiny is nothing more than a hoax concocted by the Great Toad Sage.

The so-called change brought to the Shinobi World was nothing more than resealing Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Hinata used conspiracy theories to completely smear Mount Myōboku.

As the mastermind behind the Shinobi World, Hinata felt she had already met all the requirements.

Who knows, I'll have to plant trees in the Three Great Sage Regions in the future, one in each of Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave. To hell with the Three Great Sage Regions!

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hinata let out a deep sigh.

Hinata hasn't completely turned evil yet. If she were to attack Mount Myōboku, she would definitely fall out with Naruto. Hinata doesn't want to lose a good friend for the sake of power.

However, Ryūchi Cave is completely unrelated.

First, we'll destroy Ryūchi Cave, then after Tsunade dies, we'll plant Shikkotsu Forest. As for Mount Myōboku, we'll leave that for last!

Hinata has already thought it through; she can say this to Kaguya when the time comes.

It's not that she won't plant trees in the Ninja World, but rather that she will wait until all of Hinata's family and friends have passed away before planting trees in the Ninja World.

Then Hinata will have no psychological burden at all!

A hundred years is a time Kaguya can easily wait for.

Hinata is to live for a hundred years and then return to wreak havoc on the Shinobi World.

"I need to tell Black Zetsu about this idea!"

"Perhaps when I return to the Shinobi World in the future, it will truly be to obtain the Ten-Tails that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has hidden..."

Hinata suddenly felt that this feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes was really amazing, and she had a sense of intellectual superiority.

And they can do whoever they want.

After being excited for most of the night, Hinata finally fell into a deep sleep, clutching her pillow.

If it weren't for her good health, Hinata would definitely have had dark circles under her eyes the next day.

"Then goodbye!"

At the entrance of the hotel, Hinata waved goodbye to Naruto and Jiraiya.

Naruto said reluctantly, "Hinata, why don't you come travel with us? It would be nice to see the world!"

"Absolutely not!"

Hinata firmly refused, saying, "Traveling with you is too dangerous!"

After bidding farewell to Jiraiya and Naruto, Hinata embarked on her journey back to Konoha.

There was no need to rush back. Hinata traveled around, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Land of Rainbow, and dawdled for over a month before finally returning to Konoha.

The Hokage's Office.

"This intelligence is extremely important!"

Hinata's face was extremely serious as she solemnly reported to Tsunade what she, Jiraiya, and Naruto had seen and heard.

Tsunade's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Such important intelligence, and you actually wandered around outside for two months before returning to the village to report it!"

Hinata argued forcefully. "I was only away for fifty-four days, which is less than two months. Besides, the outside world is too dangerous, and I encountered a lot of trouble!"

Yes! That's right! The outside world is too dangerous, full of tempting food, and your wallet can easily shrink if you're not careful...

The reward for this mission isn't even enough to cover the amount Hinata has spent on delicious food.

Hinata was quite upset about this for a while.

Tsunade ignored Hinata's antics, first looked at Hinata's mission report, and after pondering for a long time, said in a deep voice, "Hinata, while you were out playing, we have already investigated the relevant intelligence on the battlefield in the Land of Fire."

"Huh?"

Hinata suddenly felt nervous.

People who have done bad things are like this: they become paranoid and fearful of being exposed, as long as it is even slightly related to themselves.

What were the results of the investigation?

Tsunade took a file folder out of the drawer, with the words 'Confidential Document' written on it.

Tsunade handed the confidential documents to Hinata and said calmly, "Take a look for yourself!"

Hinata asked curiously, "Can I see my level?"

Tsunade snorted and said with a displeased look, "Your ninja rank is already Jonin, and you're my secretary, and you're also closely related to this matter, so of course you can look!"

Hinata opened the confidential document and began to read it.

Tsunade said from the side, "After becoming Jonin, you need to go through a series of training before you can actually carry out Jonin missions."

"You'll be taught this by Shizune."

"You must memorize some of the village's documents that only Jonin can access, as well as information about Jonin the Shinobi World!"

Hinata casually replied, "Okay!"

Hinata was completely absorbed in the contents of the confidential documents.

According to records, Konoha ninjas found a very special substance on the battlefield where Urashiki was sealed. Research revealed that its cells were extremely active and possessed exceptionally strong vitality, even surpassing that of Hashirama Senju's cells.

However, not long ago, this special substance was suddenly stolen, and despite the presence of so many ninjas in Konoha, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of the thief.

Hinata was absolutely certain that during her battle with Urashiki did not leave behind any cells, blood, or anything like that.

Even if there were any, they were all absorbed by the Chibaku Tensei.

But if it was Black Zetsu who did it, he might have taken out the cells of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and then had Obito steal them...
