The Thing Hinata Overlooked

"What do you plan to do next?"

Obito looked at Sasuke and asked, "Shall we continue to seek revenge on Itachi?"

Sasuke repeated the question for the third time, "Tell me, where is Itachi!"

"Hehe..."

Obito chuckled softly, causing a slight ripple in the space. Just before being sucked into the space, Obito's voice slowly drifted out.

"It seems you need to calm down!"

At the mountaintop, Obito sat on the ground, his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the scenery below.

"Things are getting more and more interesting..."

Obito's rescue of Sasuke this time had nothing to do with Black Zetsu. Sasuke's unusual strength was of interest not only to Konoha, but also to Obito.

Obito has always believed that he is the only mastermind behind the Shinobi World, and that Black Zetsu is his watcher.

Hinata's appearance may have been an accident, but Black Zetsu has offered some explanations.

What about Sasuke?

Sasuke's experiences before the age of twelve were unremarkable, but in just one year, Sasuke strength has undergone a tremendous transformation.

All of this made Obito realize that there was another mastermind behind the Shinobi World, someone who had discovered his plan and wanted to use it to achieve their own goals.

Obito knew one thing very well: all of Sasuke's information came from Hinata. Without Hinata's help, Sasuke couldn't possibly know so much.

It is extremely difficult to directly uncover Hinata's secrets, and Hinata's Dōjutsu also make Obito very wary.

That's how the rescue of Sasuke came about.

"Hinata Hyuga..."

In just a few words, Obito had already deduced that Hinata had a huge influence on Sasuke, and that Sasuke didn't trust him at all.

"Hmph! But the game has only just begun. Sasuke isn't one to let go of his hatred so easily..."

The space spun, Obito was sucked in once again.

Inside the secret room, Sasuke sat silently on the bed. He didn't know if Obito was spying on him, and naturally he didn't dare to do anything that would arouse Obito's suspicion.

"Obito Uchiha..."

Sasuke secretly analyzed, "Were Obito's words aimed at Konoha?"

According to the information provided by Hinata, Obito was involved in both the Nine-Tails Incident and the Uchiha Clan Massacre, suggesting that he had been targeting Konoha all along.

But at the same time, Hinata also put forward another idea.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan has begun, and whether or not Konoha is destroyed is no longer important to Obito. In Obito's view, this world will be destroyed sooner or later, and Obito will become the World Creation of the new world.

In the face of the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan, revenge had lost its meaning for Obito.

"So... his goal is to make me seek revenge against Konoha... thereby putting me on the opposite side from Hinata, who wants to protect Konoha."

"Hmph! This is fine too!"

Sasuke saw a future in Hinata's plan, a hope for the Uchiha name to rise again beyond revenge.

Compared to his grander plans, Sasuke remained obsessed with revenge, but most of his enemies were already dead. The only one still alive was Obito Uchiha behind a mask and dared not show his face.

Sasuke is no longer in a hurry for revenge. He wants to participate in this plan, to gain power from it, and to make the name of the Uchiha once again dominate the Shinobi World and restore the glory of his ancestors.

In this plan, Hinata is perhaps the only person Sasuke can trust.

However, Hinata's plan cannot become Sasuke's plan.

Sasuke's meeting with Obito at the Root Base only lasted a few minutes. The reason he wasted several hours was to organize all the information provided by Hinata and Obito and then make his own plan.

Now that Obito has appeared, Sasuke can easily join the plan through Obito.

Hinata wants to lead the Hyuga Clan to become Cosmic Divine Race. In Hinata's plan, although Sasuke can also obtain a part of the power, he will only be an appendage of the Hyuga Clan.

Sasuke bears the name of 'Uchiha', and he cannot allow the Uchiha to become anyone's vassal.

Therefore, Sasuke must acquire more information, understand the true meaning of Chakra and Natural Energy, and become an eternal and immortal being like Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Even if Sasuke the only Uchiha left in the entire universe, Sasuke would still make the name of the Uchiha resound throughout the world.

That's why Sasuke didn't choose to join Hinata's plan; what he coveted... was even greater power.

Konoha, Hyuga Clan.

After a long day of meetings, Hinata returned home exhausted and took a bath.

With only a small head peeking out, its azure Tenseigan flashing intermittently, 'Chang'e-1' wandered over half of the Land of Fire, searching for Sasuke's location.

In the world of ninjas, the theory of "strength in numbers" may not necessarily hold true, but sometimes brainstorming can be very effective.

At the Jonin meeting, the Jonin, one after another, had already analyzed Sasuke's mindset quite thoroughly.

Sasuke obsessed with revenge and with the Uchiha; these two things have become Sasuke lifelong obsessions.

Sasuke therefore pursued power with a mad zeal.

However, Sasuke's pursuit of power was not because he wanted to become stronger, but because he wanted to restore the glory of the Uchiha.

Thinking about this, Hinata realized that what she said to Sasuke last night was only from Sasuke's perspective, not from the perspective of the Uchiha.

This also explains why Obito rescued Sasuke.

Now that he knows some things, Sasuke will definitely want to pursue power in his own way, rather than expecting Hinata's charity, and he will not let the Uchiha become the Hyuga's vassals.

"This is so troublesome!"

Hinata scratched her head, looking somewhat troubled.

Although I believe Sasuke won't betray me or ruin my plans, there's a possibility that the two will cooperate in the future.

Hinata always felt that there might be some changes in the future.

"What exactly was overlooked?"

Hinata would naturally hold back some things from Sasuke, but Hinata told Sasuke everything she could.

After thinking for a long time, Hinata's thoughts and guesses were finally reduced to two words—forget it!

If I can't figure it out, then I'll stop thinking about it.

There's always a way out, and there's always a solution to everything. If words fail, can't we just settle things with fists?

Hinata was extremely confident in her fists.

Hinata wrung out a towel and placed it on her forehead. Now, she was worried that Konoha's announcement of Sasuke as missing-nin would cause Naruto to cause trouble.

"Everything is in chaos!"

Hinata's eyes were vacant.

From this point on, the Original Story plot can no longer be used for verification, and Hinata has no idea what the future holds.

"Right now, we can only take it one step at a time and deal with whatever comes our way!"
