Hinata Baby and Orochimaru Baby

After the dinner, Hinata, Neji, and Hanabi returned to the Hyuga residence together.

While at the BBQ Restaurant, Hinata encountered four members of Team 10. However, Hinata only went over to say hello and didn't have the nerve to put her table's bill on Asuma's.

Asuma kept a close watch on Hinata, even watching Hinata pay the bill and then seeing Hinata leave before he was satisfied.

"How stingy!"

Hinata didn't hold back in labeling Asuma as 'stingy,' and in a green one at that.

The night before last, Hinata flew into space using the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, gazing at the vast universe and making grand ambitions, vowing to witness the origin and destruction of the universe.

However, Hinata calmed down, a new question arose in Hinata mind.

What is the purpose of pursuing immortality?

The three great immortals of the Three Great Sage Regions spend their days sitting in chairs, and the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku is so old that he can't move at all.

Living like them, even if you live for ten thousand years, it wouldn't be very meaningful!

It's not even as exciting as the short hundred years of life of an ordinary person.

While she may not have achieved complete enlightenment, Hinata is ultimately just an ordinary person who cannot leave, and is unwilling to leave, her family and friends.

Even if they do nothing but stay together, Hinata can feel a warmth in her heart.

"Imperial ambitions and conquests are discussed in jest, nothing surpasses a blissful drunken revelry..."

Hinata's ambition to conquer the world has not yet begun, but Hinata has already seen her future in countless movies and TV shows she watched in her previous life.

"Wasn't it already prepared?"

Sitting in the chair, Hinata gave a self-deprecating smile. Why dwell on things that were already prepared?

To gain one thing, you will inevitably lose another.

It depends on the relative importance of the two; which one is more important to you?

The next day, Tsunade left Konoha with Kakashi and Shikaku Nara. Hinata also came to the Back Mountain of Konoha and had White Zetsu absorb some of her Chakra, which then transformed into her appearance.

"I'm counting on you for the village!"

Hinata instructed, "I have already spoken to Father. If anything happens, you can go to Father."

Hinata White Zetsu, nodded slightly.

Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Hinata, let's go!"

Once outside Konoha's territory, Hinata felt a sudden sense of unease, though she didn't know why.

The plan should be fine. If there is no battle, the White Zetsu will not reveal any flaws, not to mention that Hyuga Hiashi is there to support them.

Hinata's panic was actually just the tension and excitement of doing something wrong.

Just like Hinata's first time skipping school to go to an internet cafe in her previous life, she felt the same tension and excitement.

Sure enough, Hinata soon let loose and wandered through the forest, every cell in Hinata body radiating the joy of freedom.

"As expected... some things, once you experience them a few times, you'll get used to them completely."

"Humans are animals that are very good at adapting to their environment!"

For Hinata, who was pampered by her family since childhood, the thought of leaving her family and village one day always filled her with panic and confusion.

Leaving the village to carry out a mission feels different from sneaking out of the village.

"However, after experiencing this a few times, you might not feel anything anymore."

"The baby is growing up too!"

Hinata had always considered herself an adult, and she selectively ignored her family's dependence on Hinata.

However, truly growing up may begin with doing something wrong for the first time.

Black Zetsu did not travel with Hinata; instead, Black Zetsu possessed White Zetsu, as this method of travel was not suitable for Black Zetsu.

"This should be it!"

"I didn't expect Orochimaru to have such a base in the Land of Fire."

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Hinata her Byakugan, and everything inside the cave became clearly visible to Hinata.

It was just an abandoned base, and the experimental equipment inside was very old. It looked like it was an experimental base prepared by Orochimaru when he was still in Konoha.

Entering the cave, there is a long passageway.

After descending several dozen meters, mottled stone walls appeared on both sides of the cave. Continuing forward, there were stone doors at intervals on both sides of the stone walls, which seemed to be used by Orochimaru to imprison experimental subjects.

Upon entering the deepest part of the cave, a stone door appeared before Hinata's eyes.

Hinata had just used her Byakugan to check, and there were only two people behind this stone door: Orochimaru and Zetsu.

'Click!'

The mechanism of the stone gate was activated, and the gate slowly opened.

The moment Hinata saw Orochimaru, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Hinata Hyuga, I never expected we'd meet like this..."

Hinata didn't know what to say, so she could only go along with it and say, "Yes! It's been a long time."

Orochimaru was indeed quite surprised. Even though he was extremely interested in Hinata, Orochimaru never thought he could lure Hinata away.

After all, they grew up in different environments, and Hinata is not an easily fooled naive girl.

"Hey! Let's begin!"

Hinata swept Orochimaru's hands across her face and said bluntly, "If you stay out too long, the villagers will become suspicious."

"Don't rush..."

Orochimaru said calmly, "Kimimaro is fine, but I paid a huge price to obtain Hashirama Cells. You can't just take something so valuable from me without giving anything in return, can you?"

Hinata turned to look at Black Zetsu, who said in Black Zetsu deep voice, "Orochimaru has put forward new conditions at the last minute."

Hinata's gaze shifted back to Orochimaru, Byakugan instantly transformed Tenseigan the Tenseigan, causing Orochimaru 'Chakra to flow wildly into Hinata's body.

"Don't be so presumptuous!"

Hinata said in a low voice, "Orochimaru... you are not in a position to set conditions right now."

Orochimaru's face was extremely ugly; this wasn't the first time he had suffered such a crushing defeat.

The last time Itachi Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha's eyes were just like Hinata's now—a look as if a god were looking down on mortals, haughty and repulsive.

"Hateful!"

Orochimaru, like a defeated beast, exuded an astonishing killing intent.

White Zetsu teased, "Hinata- chan~ Don't be angry, or you'll get wrinkles..."

"We are, after all, partners with Orochimaru. If one side keeps making demands, then it's not an equal partnership."

Hinata nodded slightly and said, "That's true."

Hinata reached into her ninja tool pouch, took out a scroll, and tossed it to Orochimaru, saying casually, "You should be very interested in what's inside."

Smack!

Orochimaru reached out and took the scroll, his snake-like eyes still fixed on Hinata, the killing intent in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.
