Sand Village Collapse Plan?
"They really did Hinata away!"
In the study of Hyuga Hiashi at the Hyuga residence, Hizashi Hyuga looked resentful and felt somewhat indignant.
Although the Hyuga clan has not yet betrayed Konoha, the village's vigilance Hyuga Clan Hyuga Clan has reached its peak, even surpassing that of the Uchiha clan in the past.
It was only because of Hinata's strength that no Anbu dared to operate around the Hyuga residence.
However, the positions of the Hyuga Clan ninjas in the village have changed to some extent, either because they have new colleagues or new teammates.
Now, Tsunade has transferred Hinata to Sunagakure, and her intentions are self-evident.
The Hyuga Clan was not without influence in the village, and Tsunade Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga were naturally aware of Tsunade's plans.
However, compared to Hizashi Hyuga's resentment, Hyuga Hiashi was much calmer.
"Hizashi, this is a matter of stance!"
Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "If you and I were in the position of Hokage, facing a clan that was about to be out of control, I'm afraid we would have gone even further."
Hyuga Hiashi's expression calmed down a bit upon hearing this. He was well aware of these things; back when the Uchiha clan was isolated by the village, he had gloated for a long time.
However, as Hyuga Hizashi Hyuga grew older and more mature, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and sympathy when he recalled how the Uchiha clan had been treated in the past.
But it's always the case that those involved are confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
Now that the Uchiha clan is being treated the same way Hyuga Clan, Hizashi Hyuga naturally finds it hard to tolerate.
"Actually... even if the village discovers something, there's nothing they can do!"
At this point, Hyuga Hiashi's expression became quite arrogant.
The Hyuga Clan today is not comparable to the Uchiha clan of the past.
Think about the Uchiha clan!
Madara Uchiha was betrayed by his clan and forced to leave his family and Konoha. Obito Uchiha, heartbroken, harbored hatred for the entire world. Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were brainwashed by the village and wholeheartedly sided with it. Although Fugaku Uchiha was the clan head, he was unable to control the Uchiha clan.
According to the information obtained from Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi knew very well that the Uchiha possessed four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan when they were wiped out.
Obito, Itachi, Shisui, Fugaku...
However, Obito Uchiha directly attacked his own clansmen, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha stood on the side of the village, and Fugaku Uchiha did nothing at all.
On the contrary, the ordinary clansmen, although they had little ability, had an unexpectedly high sense of honor for their clan.
And what about the Hyuga Clan?
Thanks to Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi's control over the clan was unprecedented, and even the elders dared not disobey Hyuga Hiashi.
With Orochimaru's development of the Body Tempering Pill, the clan's cohesion reached its peak.
Seeing a bright future, the Hyuga Clan members naturally followed Hyuga Hiashi.
What made Hyuga Hiashi gratified was that Hinata was not brainwashed by the so-called 'Will of Fire', but stood wholeheartedly on the side of the clan.
If Hinata were to follow the example of Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, willingly sacrificing herself for the village and disregarding the interests of her clan, Hyuga Hiashi be driven to his death by Hinata's actions.
Hizashi Hyuga calmed himself down, frowned as he looked at Hyuga Hiashi, and asked uncertainly, "Brother, about that matter... have you really decided?"
Hyuga Hiashi closed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he let out a soft "hmm".
"But Orochimaru..."
Hizashi Hyuga lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Orochimaru isn't so easily manipulated. If he deliberately leaks that this matter is related to our Hyuga Clan, I'm afraid..."
Hyuga Hiashi opened his eyes and said softly, "Hizashi, don't worry!"
"We possess... something Orochimaru has always dreamed of."
Hyuga Hiashi's original deal with Orochimaru was to exchange Urashiki's cells for 500 Body Tempering Pill per month. However, with Hinata's interference, the deal was changed so that the Hyuga Clan would have to give up Urashiki's body, while Orochimaru would help Hinata research the secrets of Urashiki's body.
When Hyuga Hiashi learned of this, he didn't say anything, but he added another condition.
They had Orochimaru intervene and sow discord among the Five Great Shinobi Villages Chunin Ninja Exams held in Sunagakure.
A different perspective leads to a different view of the world.
Black Zetsu believed that Kaguya Otsutsuki was invincible, so he naturally didn't bother to provoke the Five Great Shinobi Villages. The death of a few Jonin was of no great importance.
However, in Hyuga Hiashi's view, only by weakening the power of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and sowing discord among them could the Hyuga Clan Five Great Shinobi Villages the greatest benefit.
For the Hyuga Clan, the best outcome would be for Kaguya Otsutsuki to be resurrected before the Five Great Shinobi Villages could even react.
In this way, the Hyuga Clan can at least continue to lie low in Konoha for a while longer.
The hatred between the Five Great Shinobi Villages runs deep. However, no matter how much hatred existed in the past, with the passage of time and the rise of the new generation, the hatred has gradually been forgotten.
To prevent the Five Great Shinobi Villages from joining forces, it is essential not to expose the Akatsuki's conspiracy, but sowing discord among the Five Great Shinobi Villages is also crucial.
Since Black Zetsu is unwilling to intervene, Hyuga Hiashi will have no choice but to rely on Orochimaru's power.
As a result, the deal between the Hyuga Clan and Orochimaru was postponed.
Orochimaru didn't care. It would take at least a decade to cultivate a perfect body, and he definitely wouldn't be able to make it in time for the great battle a year from now.
However, before a perfect body can be cultivated, Orochimaru can still manage to create a usable body.
Moreover, in Orochimaru's view, he was already an immortal being, so a few months later would not matter.
Hizashi Hyuga voice, "Brother, Hinata... she is going to Sunagakure after all. If Sunagakure falls into chaos, she cannot stay out of it."
Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "That depends on what the village decides!"
"Besides, given Hinata's personality, it wouldn't be surprising no matter what she does!"
Hizashi Hyuga: "..."
Although what you said makes a lot of sense, is it really okay for you to say that about your own daughter?
Aren't you afraid Hinata will beat you to death?
Moreover, intelligence is also related to genetics!
If you don't believe me, just look at the Nara Clan; their high intelligence is all hereditary!
Hizashi Hyuga frowned and said, "The village... if my guess is correct, they probably want to take advantage of Hinata's relationship with Gaara!"
"And Gaara, that kid..."
Hyuga Hiashi said slowly, "Gaara is indeed a talented person, and he can see the situation clearly. If it weren't for those old guys dragging him down, the situation in Sunagakure wouldn't have deteriorated to this extent."
Hizashi Hyuga sneered, "Those old guys probably still think the Shinobi World is the same as it used to be!"
After a pause, Hizashi Hyuga continued, "If we take advantage of Hinata's relationship with Gaara, Hinata can stay out of it."
"And given Orochimaru's methods, as long as he doesn't betray us, this time..."
