Who's Best at Taking the Blame?

"What exactly is this eye technique all about...?"

The immense vitality contained within the Hashirama Cells gradually healed Obito's injuries.

After sorting through the extra memories in his mind, Obito recalled the pair of azure eyes that shimmered with white light that he had just seen through Killer B's eyes.

"The Byakugan has actually evolved..."

"Could the power Black Zetsu spoke of refer to these eyes?"

Countless fragments flashed through Obito's mind in an instant, but the memory that appeared most often was that Black Zetsu had once said that Hinata's power could turn the world created by the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' from an illusion into reality.

Obito had questioned, and even doubted, Black Zetsu's intentions.

Because Madara Uchiha never mentioned this matter.

However, the power in Hinata's eyes made Obito realize that what Black Zetsu said might not be untrue.

Those eyes can absorb the chakra of Tailed Beasts, and can even attack Obito's main body through Obito chakra he left inside the Eight-Tails.

"What kind of eye technique is that?"

Obito frowned, his mind filled with countless questions.

Did Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha know of the existence of this power?

They should know!

So who gave Hinata this power?

Whether Hinata awakened on her own or someone tampered with her, just like Hinata did before, remains to Nagato.

Hinata's abnormally rapid growth made Obito even more suspicious of her. Moreover, Black Zetsu's previous deliberate avoidance of Hinata also convinced Obito of this.

No matter what Obito thought, even the documents left behind by Madara Uchiha before his death, there was no record of such eyes.

"Perhaps Black Zetsu knows something!"

Now that things have come to this, Black Zetsu can no longer hide it.

As Madara Uchiha's chosen representative, Obito could use this identity to question Black Zetsu.

If Hinata's eye technique made Obito suspicious, then Hinata's attitude made Obito even more confused.

"If Hinata Hyuga could do more than this..."

Obito couldn't help but wonder if Hinata's previous eye technique could have killed him from a distance.

That kind of attack method, which leaves no trace, undoubtedly posed a huge threat to Obito.

That's a dojutsu that can ignore the power of 'Kamui' and directly attack Obito's body.

"Was that an attack twice?"

Obito raised his hand and touched his face. The right half of his face was covered with scars, and the real touch of them told Obito that his information had been leaked.

Why didn't she kill me?

"Is it because they can't use stronger techniques, or to confirm something, or... is it intentional?"

Obito couldn't help but suspect Hinata's intentions.

Simply smashing the mask and delivering a Gentle Fist is completely unlike Hinata's usual style.

Hinata shouldn't have revealed this ability if she couldn't kill him in one move.

Therefore, no matter what Obito thought, Hinata's behavior was completely illogical.

Hinata is completely illogical.

Beating Obito was just a momentary whim of Hinata's; if that person wasn't named 'Obito Uchiha,' Hinata wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

Moreover, now that things have come to this, if he hadn't been beaten up by Hinata, how could he still have the face to call himself a member of Akatsuki?

Within the Akatsuki, only Konan and Zetsu haven't been beaten up by Hinata.

Sensing that Kakashi and the others were rapidly approaching, Hinata quickly deactivated her Tenseigan and transformed her eyes into the normal Byakugan form.

Hinata, are you alright?

Kakashi leaped down beside Hinata, Jonin closely by a group of Jonin who surrounded Killer B.

Asuma asked curiously, "What just happened? Why did the Eight-Tails' chakra suddenly disappear?"

Hinata scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I was so excited during the fight that I forgot I could dispel Genjutsu. Then I suddenly remembered and dispelled it."

After speaking, Hinata stuck out her tongue shyly.

Acting and being cute are all child's play for ninjas.

Asuma and Kakashi exchanged a glance, completely believing Hinata's lies.

In the previous battle, once Hinata got serious, she treated Killer B like a punching bag the whole time.

Killer B's most miserable moment wasn't when he was pierced through the chest by the Makankosappo, but when Hinata's twelve arms grabbed his tail and limbs, pinning him in the air, and Hinata repeatedly struck him with several sets of the Sixty-Four Palms.

Hinata said she was "too excited to fight," which is entirely possible.

Asuma asked with a grave expression, "Who exactly is controlling this guy?"

Killer B's previous behavior was completely unlike that of a normal person. He didn't say a word the whole time, and when he fought, he was no different from a wild beast.

Kakashi guessed, "If there's anyone in the Shinobi World who can control Tailed Beasts, then that person must be Itachi Uchiha!"

Hinata: Pfft—

Hinata almost spat out a mouthful of blood. My God Itachi is being blamed by Obito just like that?

Hinata glanced at Kakashi and Asuma, then decided to keep a low profile and let them guess whatever they wanted.

Itachi Uchiha's affair was a top secret in Konoha; apart from the higher-ups, perhaps only Hinata knew about it.

Kakashi continued his analysis, "Moreover, it concerns Tailed Beasts, which reminds me of the Nine-Tails Incident thirteen years ago..."

Asuma didn't respond to Kakashi's comment. Like the Uchiha Incident Nine-Tails Incident had always been a taboo topic in Konoha.

Even though everyone has different guesses about the 'truth', they can only believe the 'truth' released by the village's higher-ups.

"Teacher Kakashi!"

Hinata suddenly exclaimed alertly, "The ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village are here!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi shouted, "Everyone, be on guard!"

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh...'

Thirty meters in front of Hinata and the others, more than a dozen figures appeared in Body Flicker Technique.

The leader was a middle-aged ninja wearing Hidden Cloud Village uniform and a black hat, followed by a man and a woman, as well as two teams of eight Hidden Cloud Village Anbu members.

"Compare!"

"Damn it, what did you guys do?"

Seeing Killer B lying miserably on the ground, surrounded by a group of Konoha Ninja, Yugito was the first to attack. If Dodai hadn't raised his hand to stop him, Yugito would probably have already Tailed Beast Transformation.

Although Jinchuriki disapproves Yugito Killer B's ways and doesn't usually pay much attention to him, deep Yugito, Killer B Killer B is perhaps the only true comrade she has.

Kakashi stepped forward, about to explain something.

"Yo!"

Hinata waved enthusiastically and said with a friendly expression, "Congratulations to everyone from Kumogakure for becoming prisoners of Konoha. This may be a wonderful experience you've never had before in your lives!"

"Life is short, time flies, so don't give up this rare opportunity!"

"Quickly, cover your head and squat down!"

"Men on the left, women on the right, and those who are neither male nor female stand in the middle!"
