Kage Summit: Let's Talk Up Hinata

"Since we're sharing intelligence..."

Ōnoki turned to Tsunade and said calmly, "Your Konoha Akatsuki the most times. Tell me your specific information about them!"

"And... just how far can Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation go?"

Upon hearing Ōnoki's words, the Raikage, Chiyo, and even Ōnoki himself had somewhat strange expressions, but their eyes were extremely solemn.

The reason why the Shinobi World believes that Hinata has grown to the level of Hashirama Senju is not because of Hinata's battle with the Rinnegan, but because Hinata once crushed the Second Tsuchikage, the Third Raikage, and the Third Kazekage.

Moreover, it was only when the three of them teamed up that Hinata beat them up.

The Shinobi World deduced Hinata's approximate combat strength based on the combat power of the three Kage, and then deduced the power of the Rinnegan.

Judging solely from the aftermath of the battle, Deidara should be the strongest in the Shinobi World.

However, attack range can never represent a ninja's power.

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan can only hit one person, but he is the number one one-on-one fighter in the entire Shinobi World, and his name, the Yellow Flash, is renowned throughout the Shinobi World.

Konoha had previously informed the major Shinobi Villages about Orochimaru, but since some of Orochimaru's information concerned Konoha's secrets, the wording was somewhat vague, only mentioning the difference between the two Impure World Reincarnation) techniques.

"Kakashi!"

Tsunade turned and glanced at Kakashi, then said loudly, "You should say it!"

"Yes!"

Kakashi recalled briefly and recounted, "In that battle, Orochimaru performed the Impure World Reincarnation twice."

"The first batch of dead Impure World Reincarnation had no intelligence and were not very powerful; they could only fight like puppets."

Ōnoki nodded and said, "This is the very first Impure World Reincarnation."

"After the Second Hokage of Konoha developed this technique, he used it in battle. The Impure World Reincarnation can only be used to gather information and to perish together with the enemy, but its power is not great."

"Moreover, this technique violates human ethics, and the First Hokage quickly banned it. The Second Hokage never used this technique again after that."

To be honest, the Second Hokage was quite pitiful.

In order to follow in his brother's footsteps, he had no choice but to develop forbidden techniques to improve his strength, given his own lack of talent.

However, every time the Second Hokage developed a Ninjutsu, the First Hokage labeled it a 'forbidden technique'.

In the end, the Second Hokage could only dominate the ninja Shinobi World with his 'Water Release' technique, and had very few forbidden techniques available to him.

If the Second Hokage could have used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Brothers probably wouldn't have been able to kill Second Hokage.

From this perspective, the Second Hokage still listened to the First Hokage.

Kakashi continued, "After Orochimaru's first defeat, he fled to Kabuto Yakushi's location, where Kabuto Yakushi had already prepared the Impure World Reincarnation ritual."

"Orochimaru released the initial Impure World Reincarnation, and then used a new sacrifice to perform Impure World Reincarnation again..."

"The deceased who appeared in this spiritual communication already possessed self and wisdom. They were no different from when they were alive. Apart from their eyes, perhaps the only way to tell that they were different from ordinary people was through the cracks on their bodies."

The Raikage asked impatiently, "What about power? What kind of power does the spirit summoned this time possess?"

To be fair, the Fourth Raikage knew that his current strength was still slightly inferior to that of his father, the Third Raikage.

Moreover, just recently, Hinata defeated Killer B the Eight-Tails) and Yugito Nii. While Killer B remembered nothing, Yugito personally experienced how Hinata defeated her.

Just one strike.

Hinata injured the Two-Tails inside Yugito with a single Air Palm strike, severing the connection between the Two-Tails and Yugito. The aftershocks of the Air Palm strike also injured Yugito.

This is absolutely terrifying!

Therefore, the Raikage was eager to know just how big the gap was between himself and Hinata.

Kakashi continued, "As a junior, I have never fought against the three Kage in their lifetimes, so I don't know much about their power."

"But the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Technique, the Third Raikage's One-Finger Nukite, and the Second Tsuchikage's Dust Release... were all used in that battle."

"The Impure World Reincarnation bodies possess unlimited Chakra and immortality; the only way to defeat them is to seal them..."

Kakashi recounted the entire battle, and everyone's faces turned extremely grim as they listened.

Especially Chiyo, Raikage, Ōnoki.

Although Hinata's attacks landed on the Impure World Reincarnation dead, to their ears, it felt as if each of Hinata's blows was slapping them in the face.

Ōnoki said in a deep voice, "The Second's power has reached its peak..."

The Raikage didn't want to speak at all; he always felt that Konoha posed a much greater threat than Akatsuki.

However, the combination of the Rinnegan and the Impure World Reincarnation has already posed a huge threat to the entire Shinobi World.

Perhaps in terms of sheer power, Konoha poses a slightly greater threat. However, in terms of actions and objectives, Akatsuki remains the greatest threat to the Shinobi World.

Ōnoki suddenly asked, "Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan can already detect the invisible Mu-sama?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ōnoki remained silent.

Dust Release is slow to execute, which is its biggest drawback. However, its advantage of flight gives Dust Release abilities that other Ōnoki do not possess.

Facing the ground from the air, Ōnoki fears no one.

However, Hinata's speed in the air was faster than Ōnoki's, and her attack speed was several times faster than Dust Release. Moreover, Ōnoki couldn't become invisible...

If they were to fight, he would probably be killed in one move!

Unless someone cooperates to restrain...

Even when the Three Kage joined forces, they were still defeated by Hinata!

After truly understanding Hinata's fighting strength, almost everyone present had a general idea of what she was capable of.

Hinata is now capable of destroying a ninja village single-handedly, and it's even Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Neither the village's elite forces nor its core members possess the ability to harm Hinata.

Ōnoki and the Raikage exchanged a glance. Was reaching a reconciliation with Konoha the right choice?

The Akatsuki can still keep Konoha's attention at bay for now, but once the Akatsuki is gone, where will Konoha turn its attention?

Even if Konoha still yearns for peace at this moment, can Konoha continue to tolerate the existence of other ninja villages after a long period of one village dominating the world?

This is not impossible.

Even if Tsunade doesn't annex other ninja villages, what about the next Hokage of Konoha?

And then there's Hinata... Hinata is only thirteen years old this year. Right now, Hinata can still listen to the Konoha High Command, but when Hinata Hinata, will she have things she wants to do?

Moreover, Hinata should still have the potential to grow... Thirteen years old is the age when ninjas grow up very quickly.

If Hinata has the will to unify the Shinobi World in the future, she can do it with ease.

This is something that the other major Shinobi Villages in the Shinobi World, besides Konoha, have to consider.
