Obito's Wild Imagination

"It's useless!"

Hinata roared, her Chakra Fist instantly coalescing. She swung her fists repeatedly towards the location of Six Paths of Pain, the azure Chakra Fist falling like meteors, raining down on Pain.

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

Deva Path Pain raised his hands towards the sky.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The repulsive force collided with the Chakra Fist, causing the already unbalanced Chakra Fist to explode in mid-air.

The ground trembled slightly. Even though the Chakra Fist exploded only in the air, the earth still cracked inch by inch in the shockwave, and soil scattered and churned in all directions.

"It's not over yet!"

Hinata ignored everything and continued to swing her fists, her Chakra Fist pouring down like a torrential downpour.

"Triple Rashomon!"

Orochimaru pressed his hands to the ground, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Hinata has gone mad!

In the aftershocks of the explosion, Orochimaru had already realized the terror of this move.

If so many fists were to come crashing down at the same time, even Orochimaru's true form, the Eight-Headed Serpent, would likely be reduced to ashes if struck head-on by so many fists.

Senjutsu Chakra, when concentrated to its fullest extent, can evaporate human cells in an instant.

Six Paths of Pain looked up at the sky at the same time, seemingly having forgotten to resist.

With the Preta Path Pain exploding out of control and the Deva Path Pain's abilities now cooled down, the other Pain are simply no match for this ninjutsu.

"Boom!"

As the first Chakra Fist landed on the ground, hundreds and thousands of Chakra Fist followed simultaneously, creating a deafening explosion.

'Rumble rumble rumble—'

The shockwave from the explosion swept in all directions, shattering the clouds in the sky and turning them into raindrops that formed a curtain of rain at the edge of the shockwave.

The soil on the ground churned like ocean waves, rolling out in all directions in waves.

Hinata disregarded the consumption of chakra and Hinata stopped attacking when the rate at which chakra was generated within her body slowed down.

Natural Energy swept through, and the smoke and dust dissipated in an instant.

The ground was deserted; neither Six Paths of Pain nor Orochimaru had vanished without a trace.

Hinata could see it clearly.

Orochimaru's Triple Rashomon created an opportunity for him to escape. Although Orochimaru was seriously injured, he had already escaped to the edge of Hinata's Byakugan's line of sight.

The four Pain were almost instantly reduced to ashes, with only the Deva Path Pain hiding in the mouth of the Hellhound, and was pushed 500 meters away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Kakashi was also thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion and fell unconscious some distance away.

With a flap of her wings, Hinata flew toward the location of Deva Path Pain.

The battlefield is far away.

"Hinata is being too reckless..."

White Zetsu couldn't help but retort, "Won't Nagato start to doubt himself after being beaten like this?"

Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The Rinnegan's power needs the addition of the Nine Tailed Beasts to reach its full potential. Nagato is not a complete failure."

White Zetsu: "..."

This reason can still fool Nagato!

Black Zetsu calmly said, "Hinata's abilities have already been revealed before. If she hadn't done that, Konoha would have become suspicious of her."

White Zetsu said softly, "That's true..."

Black Zetsu continued, "However, through this battle, we've also learned about Hinata's current limits!"

"Her chakra reserves are still somewhat lower than those of the Tailed Beasts, but from a human perspective, she has already surpassed human limits, and she can also use Senjutsu Chakra..."

"In terms of combat power, even the Nine-Tails would be suppressed by her!"

White Zetsu frowned and said, "If that's the case, once she masters even stronger ninjutsu, she could even fight Madara at his peak!"

"Should we really not be wary of her?"

Black Zetsu said calmly, "In terms of 'purpose,' we are aligned with her. At least until Mom is resurrected, we will not clash with her!"

"Once Mom comes back to life..."

Once Kaguya is resurrected, Hinata will no longer pose a significant threat.

After a pause, Black Zetsu continued, "Leave Nagato's situation to Obito! Nagato's will is quite firm, and today's events may further solidify his determination to collect the Tailed Beasts."

On the other side of the battlefield, Obito was also watching Hinata's battle with Pain.

"Has it grown to this level already?"

"This is too weird..."

Through Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, Obito learned many secrets of the Shinobi World, but he had never personally witnessed a ninja battle of this scale.

Although Obito, who had mastered Kamui, was not afraid of this attack, Obito was still far from being able to unleash such power.

What truly intrigued Obito was Hinata's bizarrely rapid growth rate.

Putting aside Hinata's talent in 'jutsu', Hinata's chakra reserves and physique are what's most extraordinary.

Thirteen years old...

This power is definitely not obtained through normal cultivation methods; even forbidden techniques cannot achieve it.

Ninjutsu, Senjutsu, and chakra levels are all manageable; there have been examples of this in the Shinobi World before.

But what about physical constitution?

Hinata's physique is almost like that of Tailed Beasts; even Jinchuriki cannot achieve Hinata's level.

What exactly did Black Zetsu discover?

Obito was unaware that the Sage of Six Paths had a younger brother. In the legends of the Shinobi World, the Hyuga Clan also originated from the Sage of Six Paths, and the Hyuga Clan calls itself an "ancient clan".

Obito became increasingly curious about Hinata's secret, as everything happening to Hinata was very unusual.

This abnormal growth rate might be similar to that of Nagato.

Madara Uchiha transplanted the Rinnegan into Nagato during Nagato's childhood... So Hinata?

Could it be that someone bestowed some kind of ability upon Hinata during Hinata childhood?

Obito could only come up with this one explanation to account for Hinata's unusual behavior.

Black Zetsu discovered this secret.

Black Zetsu had been trying to win Hinata over, and even plotted several schemes against Hinata.

However, Black Zetsu is now always trying to avoid Hinata when he does things.

He recruited Orochimaru into the Akatsuki, broke the Reaper Death Seal, and obtained the other half of the Nine-Tails from Minato Namikaze... all of this was done to reduce Naruto Uzumaki's importance.

Black Zetsu had previously wanted to target Hinata's family and friends, but now he deliberately avoided them.

"Madara Uchiha wanted to use Nagato to revive himself, then who was using Hinata, and what did he want to gain?"

Obito, through his imagination, came up with all sorts of conspiracies.

There must be an extremely powerful being hiding behind Hinata!

Based on the difference in Black Zetsu's attitude before and after, Obito even believed that the person who manipulated Hinata was far more powerful than Madara Uchiha.

"Sharingan can evolve into the Rinnegan, then what about the Byakugan?"

Obito felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

Hinata had no idea that Obito had imagined her to have a powerful backer. By unleashing her full chakra, Hinata flew to the vicinity of Hellhound in the blink of an eye.

Chakra skulls coalesced on his body, Knockoff Susanoo's hands aimed at the head of the Hellhound.

Deva Path Pain was currently hidden inside the mouth of the Hellhound.

"That is..."

A small, jet-black ball floated in the air, seemingly absorbing all the light in the vicinity.

Hinata glanced at it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief; Nagato had finally used this move.

Chibaku Tensei!

If Nagato's main body doesn't intervene, Hinata really has no reason to run away.
