A Responsible Jonin

Before Chibaku Tensei could be activated, Hinata unleashed her full Chakra, picked up Kakashi and Inoichi Yamanaka, and sped away into the distance.

Not far behind, a bright white light instantly overshadowed the sun's rays, and the earth was sucked into the sky. The gravity of Chibaku Tensei was like an invisible hand, pulling Hinata toward the black sphere at the very center of gravity.

If Hinata couldn't fly, Hinata would have already been sucked into the sky, unable to escape the range of gravity because she had nowhere to rely on.

However, the effect of Chibaku Tensei) is actually not significant for flying ninjas.

The time they sealed Urashiki, they first used the Yin-Yang Release Sealing Jutsu, and then used the Chibaku Tensei.

Physical Sealing Jutsu have far too many drawbacks compared to traditional Sealing Jutsu.

Hinata unleashed her full Chakra to counter the gravity of Chibaku Tensei. Although her flight speed was slow, the distance between Hinata and the gravitational black sphere continued to increase.

As more and more rocks and clods of earth were sucked up, the gravitational pull of the Chibaku Tensei weakened.

Without the pull of gravity, Hinata increased her speed and sped away into the distance.

"Phew! It's finally over!"

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the battlefield.

This battle is quite troublesome. Hinata has to go all out to prevent Konoha from finding any flaws, while at the same time she can't kill Orochimaru and Pain and ruin her and Black Zetsu's plans.

Therefore, Hinata had to be very careful with every move she made, lest she accidentally kill her opponent.

Take the time when Deva Path Pain escaped from the Pegasus Meteor Fist, for example. His movements could not escape the Byakugan's observation. Hinata had used the Makankosappo to blow up the Hellhound's head in an instant, Deva Path Pain would have died on the spot.

Although the process was quite troublesome, the ending was fortunately good.

Having witnessed such a battle, Orochimaru's return to Akatsuki should be a done deal, right?

If Orochimaru doesn't join the Akatsuki, he will face pursuit from both the Akatsuki and Konoha.

In the past, Orochimaru was confident enough to fight against Akatsuki and Konoha, but after witnessing Hinata's battle with Pain, Orochimaru probably wouldn't dare to be as reckless as before!

Orochimaru's joining Akatsuki means that the Nine-Tails inside Minato Namikaze and Kimimaro's Chakra have both been secured.

Black Zetsu would also ask Orochimaru for Kimimaro's physical data and Ninjutsu data so that Hinata could study them.

Furthermore, the Eight-Tails' Horn cloned by Orochimaru using the Eight-Tails' cells must be handed over to the organization.

Hinata and Black Zetsu's plan can be considered a complete success.

As for Konoha... the losses were not significant. Only three ninjas were seriously injured after being pierced by Iron Sand, while the others only suffered minor injuries.

Fortunately, the Third Kazekage did not poison the Iron Sand, and the action team also had medical-nin. If they provided timely treatment, the seriously injured would not be in serious trouble.

On the contrary, Inoichi Yamanaka's injuries were somewhat troublesome, so they had to be sent back to Konoha for Tsunade to figure out a solution.

Although Konoha only gained intelligence this time, it allowed Hinata to demonstrate her full strength, and Hinata status in the village naturally rose accordingly.

Neither Orochimaru nor Pain are people that ordinary ninjas can handle.

Especially Pain... Konoha still doesn't know what Pain's true form's abilities are.

However, the appearance of Chibaku Tensei will undoubtedly remind Konoha of the battle in the Land of Fire.

The traces left by the two Chibaku Tensei were similar, so Konoha believed that the battle that took place in the Land of Fire at the beginning of this year was very likely Pain's main body fighting the enemy.

If this is the case, Kakashi's guess about Pain's true form makes some sense.

Either they have a special identity, or they have a health problem.

Having found the ninja team, Hinata descended from the sky with Kakashi and Inoichi Yamanaka, shouting urgently, "Medical Division, come quickly and see if they can still be saved!"

"If we can't save them, let's just give them a quick death!"

All the medical-nin: "..."

Kakashi was only unconscious, but Inoichi Yamanaka, even in his unconscious state, still had a furrowed brow and occasionally let out painful groans, clearly enduring immense pain.

After examining him, the Medical Division reported in a low voice, "Kakashi -senpai's injuries are not serious; he will wake up soon after treatment. But Yamanaka- senpai..."

Hinata anxiously pressed, "How is Uncle Inoichi?"

After all, he was her good friend's father, and Hinata didn't want anything to happen to Inoichi Yamanaka, otherwise she would be in big trouble.

The medical-nin said with difficulty, "For now, we can only slow down the worsening of the injury and reduce Yamanaka- senpai's pain. As for the specific treatment plan... we can only ask the Lord Hokage to take action after we return to the village."

"That's good!"

Hinata nodded slightly, as long as it wasn't beyond saving.

There's a reason why Tsunade is so popular in Konoha.

Those ninjas who were seriously injured while on missions would naturally think of Tsunade's contribution whenever they thought about returning to the village to receive treatment.

Over time, Tsunade's prestige in Konoha increased.

The ninja team has already set up tents. They will rest here tonight, allowing the wounded to receive some basic treatment before returning to Konoha early tomorrow morning.

Hinata was hiding in her little tent, biting her pen as she wrote her mission report.

As a key player in this battle, Hinata is arguably the ninja from Konoha who knows Orochimaru and Pain the most.

Inoichi Yamanaka was still unconscious, and Kakashi, using his serious injuries as an excuse, pushed the task of writing the mission report onto Hinata.

Moreover, Hinata is already Jonin, so she is qualified to write these things.

"Hmm..."

From gathering intelligence to the final battle, Hinata wrote down the entire process in detail, adding various words to describe it, resulting in a total of over six thousand words.

After the process was written down, Hinata herself provided her analysis of the matter.

This includes summarizing mistakes made during the mission and analyzing the enemy's capabilities, psychology, attitude, and objectives.

Hinata recalled the information she had read about Orochimaru and Pain in her previous life, and then wrote a summary of the mission that was over four thousand words long.

The mission report, totaling over 10,000 words, is now officially complete!

Hinata carefully put the pen cap back on, satisfied, and prepared to hand the mission report to Tsunade when she returned to the village.

There's so much content, enough for Tsunade to read for half an hour, right?

If she were to fully understand the contents of the report, it would probably take Tsunade more than half a day to finish reading it.

"(*^__^*) Hehe..."

I'm a responsible Jonin, you know!

"Ah--"

Hinata yawned and was about to crawl into bed when she suddenly noticed a faint ray of sunlight shining into the tent.

"Hinata, wake up! We need to get back to the village immediately!"

Kakashi's voice came from outside the tent.

Hinata: "..."

Is this a case of harming others ultimately harming oneself?
