This Is the World That Belongs to Me

Three days later, Kumogakure finally set aside its pride as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and chose to withdraw its troops from the border.

After the Hidden Cloud Village retreated, Kakashi also received Tsunade's orders.

The Five Great Shinobi Villages decided to hold a Five Kage Summit to discuss the issue of ' Impure World Reincarnation) and to address the threat posed by the Akatsuki.

Because the Five Kage cannot trust each other and none of them want to go to the other's village, the Five Kage Summit held in the Land of Iron, a neutral country, and was presided over by the samurai.

After tidying up the camp, Kakashi led 2,300 ninjas back to Konoha.

Hinata followed in the crowd, her mind replaying her meeting with Black Zetsu two days prior.

This meeting with Black Zetsu didn't take too long, as Black Zetsu also had many things he wanted to discuss with Hinata.

Besides explaining the Tenseigan, Hinata also asked Black Zetsu to arrange a meeting with Orochimaru as soon as possible and inquired about the feasibility of simultaneously fusing Shikotsumyaku and Wood Release.

Black Zetsu thought it wasn't a big problem.

With the Dojutsu power of the Tenseigan, it is enough to suppress the power of Shikotsumyaku and Wood Release.

However, to unleash the full potential of these two powers, simply fusing cells isn't enough. Black Zetsu actually doesn't recommend that Hinata fuse with other powers, but rather continue developing her existing abilities.

Several examples of transplanted Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World — Kakashi, Yamato.

Although they possess the Sharingan and Wood Release, they also have many limitations.

Kakashi goes without saying, but Yamato's Wood Release is far inferior to Hashirama Senju's. Although both are Wood Release techniques, the difference between them is like the difference between Three Tomoe and the Eternal Mangekyo; their power is simply worlds apart.

Black Zetsu also mentioned Madara Uchiha's situation.

When Madara Uchiha first fused with Hashirama Cells, his Wood Release was far less powerful than the Impure World Reincarnation form in the Original Story manga.

Black Zetsu said that Madara Uchiha had tried the power of Wood Release, but it was only at the level of Yamato.

It wasn't until Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan that he truly unleashed the power of Wood Release, but by then Madara Uchiha was already very old.

However, considering her special physical condition, Hinata declined Black Zetsu's offer.

If it's just about power, fusing with the Shikotsumyaku would be enough.

Wood Release, a type of area-of-effect Ninjutsu somewhat with Hinata's Gentle Fist system, making it not very practical.

However, Hinata was not only considering power, but also perfecting her bloodline.

Although Hinata's wishes before Hinata transmigration were only for 'talent' and 'Tenseigan', the things that came with these two abilities were far more valuable to Hinata.

Hinata wanted to perfect her bloodline based on Kaguya Otsutsuki's abilities, using the two abilities of 'absorption' and 'assimilation' to truly bring her bloodline to the Kaguya Otsutsuki's.

And all of this was for Hinata's initial idea.

Using the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts as seeds, he cultivated his own body as a God Tree, thereby achieving the state of 'immortality'.

This is not Hinata's wild imagination.

Hinata seriously considered the feasibility of turning ninja training into 'cultivating immortality'.

Hinata doesn't yet know the limits of her bloodline assimilation, but if she can assimilate to the level of Kaguya Otsutsuki, integrating the power of all Nine Tailed Beasts into her own, then even without the Ten-Tails, Hinata Hinata would be equivalent to a small-scale Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Then, by using the power of other God Tree to nurture herself, Hinata might be able to cultivate a new Ten-Tails.

After all, in terms of level, Kaguya's God Tree is far more powerful than Urashiki's and Momoshiki's God Tree, and Hinata doesn't want to lose the big picture for a small gain.

If the God Tree hadn't already merged with Kaguya, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path hadn't already possessed Kaguya's will, Hinata would never have returned the Nine Tailed Beasts to Kaguya.

The only way to completely merge with the Ten-Tails God Tree is to kill Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, the prerequisite for killing Kaguya Otsutsuki is to destroy the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and eliminate the Nine Tailed Beasts.

This is a vicious cycle.

Therefore, Hinata had no choice but to give up the tempting idea of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and instead seek another way.

Therefore, Hinata's only option was to fuse bloodlines, transforming her own into Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline, and then assimilating the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts.

Seeing Hinata's insistence, Black Zetsu had no choice but to agree with Hinata.

Besides these things, Black Zetsu also told Hinata Obito, and instructed Hinata not to reveal any flaws in front of Obito.

Black Zetsu has quite the imagination; he even talks about controlling the past and future. If only he really could do that.

When I returned to Konoha, it was already August, Chunin Ninja Exams of the year had already begun.

However, with the Shinobi World in chaos, not many people are focusing on the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Kakashi had just returned to the village when Tsunade called him away.

This time, when Tsunade goes to the Land of Iron to participate in the Five Kage Summit, she plans to bring Kakashi and Shikaku Nara as her bodyguards.

It wasn't that Tsunade didn't want to bring Hinata along, but if she did, the Hinata from other villages might not dare to come...

Back at the Hyuga residence, Hinata took a relaxing bath, then changed into her pajamas and snuggled into bed to read.

This trip out was incredibly boring.

Although there's nothing to do at home, at least the bed at home is comfortable!

That evening, Hinata got dressed and secretly left the Hyuga residence, heading to the Back Mountain of Konoha.

The repulsive force activated, Hinata's feet left the ground, then she accelerated and flew into the air.

"Well..."

Just as they reached mid-air, Hinata suddenly scratched her head in a troubled manner.

Perception Barrier!

There is an invisible sensory barrier above the entire Konoha Village. Whenever someone passes through the sensory barrier, the Barrier Team will immediately sense it.

But this was no problem for Hinata.

During the time Hinata served as Tsunade's secretary, she had already become very familiar with the village's defenses.

Silently leaving the range of the perception barrier, Hinata once again soared into the sky, flying towards the clouds high above.

Hinata wanted to see if she could survive freely in space in her current state.

"It should be possible!"

The higher Hinata flew, the more she could feel the pressure from outer space.

"My physical condition is still not good enough!"

Hinata immediately entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode and continued flying towards outer space.

After passing through the troposphere, ozone layer, stratosphere, and mesosphere, the starlight became exceptionally clear. The pitch-black outer space, boundless and vast, exuded a mysterious beauty.

Hinata looked down and saw the entire panorama of the Ninja World at a glance; it was a beautiful planet.

Looking up, the sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the moon appeared enormous, its surface clearly visible.

Further away, there were countless glittering stars, the light of which came from countless light-years away, traversing the long river of time, before finally reaching Hinata's eyes.

"So beautiful!"

Hinata murmured, "This is the world that truly belongs to me!"
