Hinata's Annual Review

"Kumogakure..."

Hyuga Hiashi muttered to himself, then said coldly, "The Kumogakure, ruled by the Martial Combat arts faction... is indeed very aggressive!"

"If we take advantage of this opportunity, the conflict between the Five Great Shinobi Villages will inevitably reach its peak. As long as Akatsuki doesn't cause any problems, it will be difficult for the Five Great Shinobi Villages to join forces!"

"In addition to the previous conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, and the Konoha Crush Plan two years ago..."

Hizashi Hyuga chuckled upon hearing this, "The Kumogakure is indeed extremely aggressive, and the Raikage also has considerable ambition."

"In comparison, although Tsuchikage Ōnoki is shrewd and calculating, he is too old. The older a person gets, the more cautious they become."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly, then asked, "How is the clan doing now?"

Hizashi Hyuga reported, "Currently, our Hyuga Clan..."

Hinata and Shikamaru walked out of the Hokage Building side by side. Shikamaru turned to look at Hinata and said softly, "Prepare well these next two days. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

"This trip to Sunagakure will last at least a month, until the exams are over in August before I can return."

Hinata nodded and said "Mm," then walked towards the Hyuga Clan's residence.

The Kumogakure harbors ill intentions, Konoha, as an outsider, cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Sunagakure. However, considering Gaara's relationship with Hinata, and Gaara's own strong sense of the bigger picture, Konoha decides to bypass the Sunagakure's elders and cooperate directly with Gaara to jointly combat the Kumogakure's conspiracy.

To be fair, Konoha's actions were somewhat underestimating Sunagakure, but the current Sunagakure is truly complicated.

As the Kazekage Gaara, Gaara has a large number of supporters, but most of these supporters are new generation ninjas, while the veteran ninjas mostly follow the orders of the elders.

However, the strongest people in a ninja village are basically veteran ninjas, and the important positions in the village are also held by veteran ninjas.

A village plagued by internal strife is most vulnerable to infiltration by forces from other villages.

Back in her room, Hinata changed into casual clothes, brewed a pot of good tea, and sat down at her desk to start organizing her notes.

It's mid-June now. The Chunin Ninja Exams will begin in early July, with a month for the candidates to train intensively. The final exam will be in early August, and Sunagakure will invite nobles and merchants from various countries to watch.

For such a long trip, it's definitely necessary to bring more daily necessities.

The environment of Sunagakure is fine for a short trip, but if you stay there for a long time, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Things like skincare products and beauty supplements, as well as some local delicacies from the Land of Fire, should be brought along.

"Yes! Especially skincare products from the Land of Fire. If we bring more, we might be able to sell them to female ninjas from the Sunagakure at a high price."

"Once the ninjas from Kumogakure arrive, we might be able to sell some to Kumogakure. Their skin is dark, they definitely need high-end skincare products..."

Hinata secretly plotted her smuggling business, writing down everything she needed to bring in her notebook.

"It's been two years..."

Hinata a pang of emotion.

Two years have passed since Hinata participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams. Next year, Naruto and Jiraiya will return to the village, and the Shippuden series will begin.

After so much planning, next year will be the time to see the results.

"And I..."

Hinata was satisfied with her current strength.

Hinata may not be able to compare with Kaguya Otsutsuki in terms of character attributes, but ninja battles involve many aspects. If Hinata is given the opportunity, Hinata has the ability to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

With this in mind, Hinata wasn't too worried about her future.

With another year to go, Hinata's own training was also on track.

Eye techniques, Gentle Fist, Wood Release, Shikotsumyaku), Yin-Yang Seal for storing natural abilities, Natural Energy to nourish the body, Sealing Jutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, herbalism, Puppet Technique...

Although Hinata has learned a wide range of things, Hinata had a premonition that as long as she found a key point, she could connect all her abilities together.

In fantasy and cultivation terms, it's called 'returning to oneness'.

When Shippuden, Black Zetsu will secretly collect a portion of the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts and give it to Hinata.

Once Hinata absorbs the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts, her own strength will experience a significant boost, and her physique, bloodline, and abilities will further resemble those of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

What Hinata lacks now is perhaps only the God Tree itself.

"The true form of the God Tree!"

Now that Urashiki is dead, the God Tree within him has also died, and the God Tree, having lost its vitality, has become useless.

But what if Orochimaru could unlock the secret of Urashiki's body...?

Hinata did covet the power of the God Tree, but considering the training methods of the Three Great Sage Regions, Hinata still hoped to find a more perfect path for herself.

The Otsutsuki clan is powerful, but their cultivation system relies too heavily on the God Tree. In fact, without the God Tree, the Otsutsuki clan would be unable to improve their strength at all.

While the creatures in the Three Great Sage Regions can live for thousands of years, their power is far inferior to that of the Otsutsuki clan.

In the Ninja World, there is no such thing as 'techniques'. Ninjas all use the same methods to refine chakra. The difference in ability lies in the difference in 'techniques'.

Hinata, however, did not see it that way.

Since extraordinary powers like 'chakra' and 'Natural Energy' exist, if we can find the patterns within them, it's not impossible to create cultivation techniques.

Rather than absorbing the chakra of others to increase her strength, Hinata prefers to improve the quantity and quality of chakra by enhancing her physical constitution and soul.

Therefore, Urashiki's body secrets are of great importance to Hinata.

Only by deciphering the secrets of all abilities and energies can we find ways to improve ourselves.

He touched his stomach, where the Yin-Yang Seal was located within Hinata's body.

The more Natural Energy stored in the Yin-Yang Seal, the more Hinata can feel the wonder of Natural Energy.

Foundation Establishment, Qi Refining, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...

It's not hard to find connections between the ninja's power system and the realm of immortal cultivation.

Especially the Jinchuriki system.

If the Tailed Beasts within Jinchuriki is a life form created by absorbing Natural Energy and then using the power of Yin-Yang Release, then what is the difference between it and Nascent Soul?

The more Hinata engages with and learns about these things, the more enjoyment she finds in them.

Hinata couldn't wait for the Chunin Ninja Exams to end so she could hand Urashiki's body over to Orochimaru and decipher the secrets hidden within it.

"I am truly a cultivator now..."

While Hinata Talent Cheat gave her unparalleled potential, it was Hinata who summarized these training principles!

Thinking about this, Hinata was extremely satisfied with her own wisdom.
