Hinata: I Want to Dance on a Bigger Stage

"No outsider has any reason to object to a decision made by one's own will."

Tsunade up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside, and slowly said, "The view you see is different depending on the height you stand at."

This is the biggest difference between Tsunade and the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage appeared kind and approachable, but his desire for control was extremely strong; even Danzo was under Third control.

But Tsunade is different; she gives people a certain degree of freedom.

The only constant in this world is change.

Tsunade is over fifty years old this year. Having traveled the Shinobi World for so many years, she has a good understanding of the changes in people's mentality, both through her own experience and through the experiences of others.

When Hinata was still a Genin, all she wanted was to live each day peacefully, happily, and without any burdens.

But now Hinata stands at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, seeing a different view.

Even if Hinata also wants to live happily and without burdens, her way of living will change.

Hinata wants to specialize in Ninjutsu, something that would have been completely impossible before.

In the past, it was considered good if Hinata didn't slack off.

When a person starts to do something wholeheartedly, besides being driven by interest, the biggest reason is because they have a dream.

"I already have a dream!"

Tsunade murmured something, seemingly unconcerned, but a hint of worry lingered in her heart.

With a dream comes a plan, and with a plan comes the determination to execute it.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru are all people with dreams, but they achieve their dreams in different ways.

Tsunade and Jiraiya are bound by the bond of Konoha, so no matter how far they go, they will eventually return here.

However, Orochimaru severed all ties, cut ties with the past, and single-mindedly pursued his dream.

So, what will Hinata she has a dream?

Hinata's feelings were also very complicated when she left the Hokage Building. It wasn't that she was reluctant to leave, but rather that she felt a sadness of saying goodbye to the past completely.

Hinata's dream has changed from 'Hokage Advisor' to 'Queen of the Universe'. This change in mindset is not only due to her improved strength, but also largely due to her experiences.

The more scenery you see, the bigger your heart will naturally become.

Hinata, who has already reached the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, cannot stay in Konoha and enjoy herself in peace.

Those mundane family matters are not suitable for Hinata right now.

It is very difficult for someone who has left to come back.

After buying a large bag of delicious food, Hinata returned to the Hokage Rock, enjoying the food while looking down at Konoha.

"It's been so long since I've been here!"

Hinata used to feel that Konoha was very big, but now Hinata can fly from one side of Konoha to the Konoha side in just a few seconds.

Too small!

In the Original Story, Madara Uchiha said, "This world is too small; it's not enough for me to cause trouble all by myself."

When Hinata watched Hokage before, she thought it was just a boastful line from Madara Uchiha. But when Hinata stood at Madara Uchiha's level, she realized it was just Madara Uchiha's most sincere sentiment.

It's so small!

Even if a small person were to rule the world, they would find it utterly boring.

Hinata is essentially a lazy person, but even if Hinata wants to live like a salted fish, she should be a salted fish as the 'Queen of the Universe', not as the 'Hokage Advisor'.

The Ninja World was just a starting point for Hinata, but not Hinata end.

The vast, boundless universe above her head is Hinata's future stage.

Even if we're going to dance, we need a bigger stage.

Just like Hinata's past life, the difference between street performances and world-class stages is like heaven and earth.

For Hinata, the Shinobi World now is just a small stage for a street performance.

Footsteps slowly approached from behind.

"What happened?"

Hyuga Hiashi's voice was deep and serious; this was the first time he had taken the initiative to come here to talk to Hinata.

"Kindness!"

Looking down at Konoha, it was quiet and peaceful, as if all the chaos outside had nothing to do with it.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and Hinata's gaze was somewhat unfocused.

"Father, do you think Konoha is big?"

Hyuga Hiashi remained silent.

By observing only a small part of the whole picture, Hyuga Hiashi had already noticed the change in Hinata's mindset with just a few words.

He touched his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, Hyuga Hiashi's mindset had also undergone a significant change.

This is the second pair of Rinnegan in the Shinobi World.

Although Hyuga Hiashi Dōjutsu, who possesses the Rinnegan, doesn't proclaim himself a 'god' like Nagato, he unconsciously places himself in a very high position deep down.

Hinata had been working as the Hokage's secretary, and Tsunade was also keen to groom Hinata. Hyuga Hiashi, on the other hand, had no intention of launching a coup.

But Hinata resigned today.

Therefore, Hyuga Hiashi really wanted to know what Hinata was thinking.

The position of Hokage is no longer tempting; this refusal is a completely different concept from Hinata's previous refusal to become Hokage.

Hinata used to be lazy, but now she has a bigger ideal.

After a moment of silence, Hinata continued, "Father, have you ever thought about changing the Hyuga Clan?"

Hyuga Hiashi walked to Hinata's side, and together they looked down at Konoha Hinata. He said calmly, "Yes!"

Every clan leader has the idea of changing the clan. Developing the clan better is not only their responsibility, but also their ideal.

"I have one too..."

Hinata said softly, "But my dream is so big that even I'm not entirely sure about it."

Hyuga Hiashi gazed into the distance and slowly said, "Can you tell me?"

Hyuga Hiashi would never have agreed to Hinata resigning from her position as Hokage's secretary, let alone Tsunade's intention to groom Hinata.

But things are different now.

After their strength increased significantly, the father and daughter also became arrogant.

"Kindness!"

Hinata nodded slightly and said softly, "The Chakra I gave you last time was extracted from a guy named 'Urashiki Otsutsuki'."

"The Otsutsuki clan is a race from the universe. The Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' brother, and the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' mother, who are legendary figures in the Shinobi World, are all members of the Otsutsuki clan."

"And our Hyuga Clan are descendants of Hagoromo Otsutsuki younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths."

Hyuga Hiashi was shocked, but he maintained his unchanging icy expression, quietly waiting for Hinata to continue.

Hinata looked up at the sky.

"Having learned all this, I knew in my heart that one day I would return to this family..."

"But things are different now!"

"Hyuga is Hyuga, Otsutsuki is Otsutsuki... and I will step into that unknown world as the head of the Hyuga Clan."
