Hyuga Hiashi's Huge Misunderstanding

On her way to the Hokage Building, Hinata saw Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, as well as dozens of the Hyuga Clan ninjas.

Through her Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata learned just how serious Sasuke had been this time.

Sasuke first infiltrated Konoha, he only used Sharingan Genjutsu to control a few Anbu, hoping to obtain some useful information.

But the key question is, how did Sasuke infiltrate Konoha?

Konoha is a ninja village and a crucial military stronghold of the Land of Fire. Its defenses include sensory barriers, Konoha (Anbu), and patrol teams. It is absolutely impossible for someone unfamiliar with Konoha's defensive arrangements to infiltrate the Konoha undetected.

When Sasuke left Konoha, he was just a Genin. He had no access to village secrets and didn't even have a single subordinate.

Sasuke is not Orochimaru. When Orochimaru defected, he left countless spies in Konoha. Even now, Orochimaru's influence still exists within Konoha.

Orochimaru had participated in the Second and Third Shinobi War Second Shinobi World War and had served as Orochimaru battlefield commander, so he had many loyal subordinates.

But Sasuke is different.

This is why, when Sasuke first invaded Konoha, none of the ninjas of Sasuke's generation received any orders, and Tsunade only sent Anbu and Jonin to pursue Sasuke.

At that time, Hinata may have already come under the village's suspicion, and among all her peers, Hinata was the most suspicious.

However, Sasuke may have obtained the information from Orochimaru, so Hinata was not a strong suspect at the time.

After luring Konoha's Jonin, Anbu, and Root away from their stronghold, Sasuke attacked the Root Base, wiping out everyone, including Danzo, and arrogantly leaving behind the words "Sasuke Uchiha" at the Root Base.

Although the shielding barrier at the Root was created by Danzo himself, an investigation revealed that Danzo had previously removed the barrier, only for it to be later reactivated.

Sasuke then assassinated Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, and attempted to infiltrate the Hokage Building to steal the Scroll of Seals.

There were at least several hours between the assassination Danzo and the assassination of the Hokage Advisor, and even the Jonin and Anbu who had been chasing Sasuke had returned.

No one knows exactly what happened in those few hours.

But it's almost certain that someone within Konoha is cooperating with Sasuke's actions.

Danzo has been targeting the Hyuga Clan for nearly a year. Ordinary ninjas might not know this, but the Konoha High Command do... Uh! Now, only Tsunade remains among the Konoha High Command officials.

Before Obito Uchiha, Hinata was the prime suspect.

Hinata's suspicions were cleared only after Sasuke was rescued by Space-time ninjutsu... There were so many sensory ninjas present at the time, and they could all testify for Hinata that Hinata Chakra flow was just the most basic Gentle Fist.

Furthermore, Hinata doesn't know Space-time ninjutsu.

Hinata may have some sympathy for Sasuke, but she is not someone who cooperates with Sasuke's actions.

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Hyuga Hiashi to say. Hinata had initially thought she was innocent, but it turned out she had left behind so many clues.

Speaking of which... we should really thank Obito Uchiha.

Sasuke assassinated three Konoha elders in a row, so it was certain that he would be declared missing-nin by the village, and an S-rank rogue ninja at that.

"I wonder how much of a fuss Naruto will throw when he hears the news!"

Hinata felt a pang of emotion, wondering if Team 7 would ever have the chance to reunite.

"But..."

It was indeed very strange that Sasuke didn't take any action for those few hours.

Because Hinata didn't want to get involved in Sasuke's next plan, Hinata didn't use her sensory abilities to monitor Konoha. As long as she didn't know Sasuke's whereabouts, Hinata could pretend to be completely unaware and ignore Sasuke actions.

But if Sasuke to take revenge, he must do it in one fell swoop.

These few hours of blank time are indeed worth exploring in depth.

Hinata wondered to herself, "Could it be that Obito Uchiha had already met Sasuke at that time?"

"But given Sasuke's personality, now that he knows Obito is his enemy, he shouldn't be able to hold back!"

Sasuke is not a patient person; if Sasuke saw the enemy who wiped out his clan, he would not be able to resist taking action.

"Unless... Sasuke wants to be like Itachi and Obito's inner circle."

After all, Hinata had already informed Sasuke of her plan, and Sasuke fully agreed with it. Although Hinata didn't say that Obito Uchiha couldn't be killed for the time being, Sasuke should have his own judgment.

If you think about it this way, then everything makes sense.

Lost in thought, Hinata entered the Hokage Building's conference room.

The Jonin took their seats, with Hinata sitting next to Hyuga Hiashi, listening to Tsunade recount everything that had happened that day.

Konoha's once-proud defensive capabilities have been repeatedly proven wrong.

Leaving aside the Konoha Crush Plan, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki could freely enter and leave Konoha, and the Sound Four treated Konoha as their own backyard. The Nine-Tails Incident thirteen years ago and the Uchiha Clan Massacre six years ago both proved that someone had invaded Konoha.

During Itachi Uchiha's invasion, if Itachi Uchiha hadn't wanted to expose himself, Konoha would have had a hard time detecting his whereabouts.

This time, Sasuke brazenly infiltrated Konoha to carry out an assassination, and he even succeeded.

If this were to reach the Shinobi World, Konoha would lose all face.

Hinata wasn't paying attention at first, but she was quickly drawn to Tsunade's words.

"In addition, Sasuke Uchiha's unusual strength is also a direction we must investigate next."

"Although Sasuke displayed extraordinary talent during his time at the Ninja Academy, it's impossible for him to have grown to this level in just one year. Even if Orochimaru used forbidden techniques to help Sasuke improve his strength, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this..."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hinata very subtly. He was probably the person who knew the most about the source of Sasuke's strength among everyone present.

Hyuga Hiashi thought to himself, "Hinata actually gave Sasuke that Chakra... Could it be that she has feelings for Sasuke..."

It's no wonder that Hyuga Hiashi would think that way, since Hinata concealed the fact that she traveled through time, Hyuga Hiashi had no idea about Future Sasuke.

During their time at the Ninja Academy, Hinata and Sasuke interacted a lot... Although Hinata mostly Sasuke, she wouldn't Hinata talk to anyone casually.

Regarding Danzo's death, Hyuga Hiashi was almost certain that Hinata was the traitor within Konoha.

Just a few days ago, Hinata confidently told Hyuga Hiashi that she would use Sasuke's power to assassinate Danzo.

Less than a few days later, Danzo died at Sasuke's hands.

If Hinata didn't have absolute confidence in Sasuke's power, how could she have said such a thing?

"The Uchiha... now only Sasuke and Itachi are left, right? Perhaps there's one more person hiding!"

As Hinata's father, Hyuga Hiashi was extremely worried.

"Hyuga and Uchiha... If the power of the Byakugan could be combined with the Sharingan, I wonder if a new Dōjutsu would be born?"

"But Sasuke has no future now..."

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hinata discreetly, thinking to himself, "Wouldn't this child do something foolish?"
