The Last Time Left for Orochimaru

Hinata was deeply moved as she stood outside a planet and admired the view of space for the first time.

Compared to the boundless universe, the Ninja World is really too small.

In this endless void, countless powerful civilizations are hidden. Perhaps even the seemingly invincible Otsutsuki clan is nothing more than a speck of dust in this boundless universe.

Perhaps in the deeper reaches of the universe, there are powerful beings who regard Kaguya Otsutsuki as mere ants.

The frog at the bottom of the well thought the sky was only as big as the well opening.

Hinata, with her limited knowledge of the Ninja World, tries to peer into the vast universe. Isn't she just like a frog in a well?

Standing outside the world, Hinata felt her own insignificance for the first time, and realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts had been.

But when she thought of the Kage Summit, which was valued by the whole world, Hinata felt that they were just as insignificant.

A pale green aura of chakra enveloped Hinata's entire body. Hinata in the void, gazing at the boundless universe, her heart still reeling from the shock.

Hinata clenched her fists, and her resolve gradually solidified.

Hinata didn't know what others would think if they saw such a vast view, but Hinata heart was already filled with the world before her.

The world beneath her feet is ultimately just a starting point; this world will support Hinata as she reaches into a far more vast world.

Everywhere you look, the twinkling stars create a magnificent and colorful world.

Countless worlds make up this vast and boundless universe.

Hinata couldn't imagine conquering this universe, but she at least wanted to leave her mark on every corner, witnessing the origin, changes, and destruction of the universe...

"I have the ability!"

Hinata's resolve was unwavering.

The path I take may run counter to that of the people in the Shinobi World, but that is not a mistake, but rather because they cannot reach the more distant world.

Hinata suddenly understood what Black Zetsu had said earlier.

Konoha will ultimately become a burden to Hinata, hindering Hinata progress.

The strong are always lonely. If you can't enjoy this solitude, you can't leave the crowd and will eventually become just another part of the masses.

Compared to Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju's actions were undoubtedly great. He established the ninja village system and improved the way ninjas lived.

However, Hashirama Senju's actions ultimately limited him.

Therefore, the world as seen by Madara Uchiha was much larger than the world as Hashirama Senju.

Turning my head to look into the distance, I saw a small asteroid... or perhaps not even a planet, more like a meteorite.

"Urashiki..."

Urashiki Otsutsuki was sealed inside that meteorite by Sasuke; the meteorite was so small that it was invisible in the Shinobi World. Compared to the moon that sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki, the two are worlds apart.

"... Next time!"

After hesitating for a moment, Hinata decided not to break Urashiki's seal for the time being.

It wasn't that Hinata lacked confidence in her own power, but Hinata she thought about Future Sasuke, Urashiki's chakra, and Naruto's share.

Even though Future Sasuke, Hinata doesn't want to break her promise.

"Let's go back!"

Having seen the whole world clearly, Hinata was full of fighting spirit and turned to fly back to the Ninja World.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

No matter how big Hinata's dream is, she has to accomplish it step by step.

Without Kaguya Otsutsuki's help, Hinata would have been unable to travel through space. Hinata knew nothing about the cosmic star map, nor did she know how to plant the God Tree.

If Urashiki and absorbs Urashiki God Tree, Hinata will likely gain the ability of 'Yomotsu Hirasaka'.

Urashiki has already merged with the God Tree, so the only way to absorb the God Tree is to transform Urashiki into Chakra Fruit and eat him.

The world before my eyes grew larger and gradually became clearer.

The earth, rivers, mountains, lakes, towns... until Konoha came into Hinata's view, this space trip came to an end.

Hinata deactivated the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, passed through the sensory barrier, entered the Back Mountain of Konoha, and then returned to the Hyuga residence.

Inside the bedroom, Hinata was still deeply shaken and unable to calm down for a long time.

The feeling of 'knowing it all along' and 'seeing it with your own eyes' are completely different.

Hinata possesses an incredibly vast inner world, yearning for an even more expansive horizon.

"Let's get ready!"

Hinata muttered something to herself and began packing her things.

When Tsunade set off for the Land of Iron, Hinata will also leave Konoha to meet Orochimaru in private.

At that time, White Zetsu will use the "Object Exchange Transformation Technique" to transform into Hinata's appearance and infiltrate the Hyuga residence. Hinata will also inform Hyuga Hiashi to temporarily prevent outsiders from contacting her.

In addition to bringing Kimimaro's blood, Hinata also prepared a gift for Orochimaru during their Orochimaru.

White Zetsu has obtained the Death God Mask, and according to Black Zetsu, Orochimaru has broken the Reaper Death Seal and regained his hands.

However, the Nine-Tails must be sealed last, so the Akatsuki has not yet asked Orochimaru to summon Minato Namikaze.

For Orochimaru, who has recovered to his prime, what he desires most, besides Sasuke's body and fusing with Hashirama Cells, is probably learning Sage Mode.

However, Hinata didn't want to increase Orochimaru's power. If Orochimaru's power grew to the point where he could suppress Indra, Sasuke would be in danger.

This gift is a document.

Orochimaru has deciphered the secrets of the Rinnegan through his conversation with Black Zetsu.

The information Hinata prepared for Orochimaru concerned Natural Energy and the secrets of the Three Great Sage Regions.

Given Orochimaru's ambitions, once he understands the secrets of Natural Energy, he might not be able to resist taking action against Ryūchi Cave.

Hinata wanted to trick Orochimaru into using his power to eliminate Orochimaru Ryūchi Cave.

Orochimaru has absolutely no feelings for Ryūchi Cave, and Hinata's actions against Ryūchi Cave won't involve the same level of entanglement as her actions against Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest.

Ryūchi Cave is arguably the easiest of the Three Great Sage Regions sites to be breached.

Do the snakes living in Ryūchi Cave possess the effects of spirit beasts?

"You'll know once you try!"

Hinata picked up a blank scroll and pen and began to record all her understanding of Natural Energy. This included Hinata's interpretation of the Three Great Sage Regions and her speculations about the nutrients in the God Tree.

Given Orochimaru's thirst for knowledge, these things would undoubtedly be a fatal temptation for him.

"Orochimaru swear you're the greatest scientist in the Ninja World, but what are you really capable of?"

"You don't have much time left!"

At most, Orochimaru will make a move against Sasuke in a year and a half.

What can Orochimaru accomplish in a year and a half?
