Hinata Unwilling to Fail a Mission
Wrapped in the blanket and lying in bed, Hinata blinked, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
With the Chunin Ninja Exams drawing ever closer, Hinata felt an indescribable tension, yet also a thrill akin to the excitement of doing something naughty—a complex mix of emotions.
"They've truly become the mastermind behind the Shinobi World..."
Hyuga Hiashi and Orochimaru were plotting to sow discord Hinata the Five Great Shinobi Villages. After all, Hyuga Hiashi needed Hinata Orochimaru.
Hinata is currently unaware of Orochimaru's specific plans.
Anyway, the matter has been handed over to Orochimaru, and what Orochimaru does is none of the Hyuga Clan's business.
Orochimaru will definitely have to take the blame, while the Hyuga Clan will only pay the price with a complete Urashiki corpse.
"Well!"
Hinata sighed softly, feeling a little guilty.
Unlike those seasoned ninjas, Hinata, despite her strength and numerous battles, has not experienced much Hinata growth.
Essentially, Hinata still considers herself an ordinary person, at most someone who has become powerful and wants to pursue higher goals.
Hinata's growth has been too smooth sailing, and the occasional psychological changes have only made Hinata a little more mature, rather than turning Hinata into a complete villain.
"Tenseigan!"
The night was long, and she couldn't sleep. Hinata connected to Artificial Satellite for visual sharing, intending to find another night owl who was also having trouble sleeping to chat with.
Itachi Uchiha has learned his lesson. He used to study Ninjutsu at night, but now he has developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Hinata had observed this a few times. The old Itachi Uchiha would stay up until late every night, never sleeping until 1 or 2 AM. But now, Itachi Uchiha would fall asleep around 7 or 8 PM, get up around 3 or 4 AM to wash up, and then study Ninjutsu.
They completely missed Hinata's daily routine.
However, Hinata felt that she still deserved some credit. It is said that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health. If Itachi Uchiha hadn't stayed up late, he might not have died so young.
If Sasuke can perfectly change his and Itachi's fate, and Itachi Uchiha gets married and has children in the future, Hinata feels that she is absolutely qualified to be the child's godmother!
"Yes! That's it!"
Hinata nodded solemnly, muttering to herself, "I need to find an opportunity to talk to Itachi about this. It's better to adopt a son sooner rather than later!"
Jiraiya and Naruto have recently appeared in Hinata's field of vision, but unless Hinata suddenly goes crazy, Hinata won't chat with these two!
After all, he's an old man, a stereotypical straight man, and most importantly, he has neither good looks nor charisma...
Thus, Orochimaru, a lucky viewer who was online every day, got a very valuable opportunity to connect.
"Uh-huh!"
Orochimaru: "..."
When Hinata's voice echoed in his mind, Orochimaru completely broke down.
In fact, since Hinata was in Sunagakure, Orochimaru originally intended to contact Hinata and explain his plans so that Hinata would cooperate with his actions.
Although Orochimaru is currently in the Land of Lightning, Hinata still managed to find him.
Without a doubt, Orochimaru will never escape Hinata's grasp in this lifetime.
"It seems you can't wait any longer..."
Orochimaru's hoarse voice remained calm as he said, "I've just reached an agreement with the Raikage, but we'll need your cooperation with the Sunagakure!"
"Well..."
Hinata said, somewhat bewildered, "I just couldn't sleep, so I came to chat with you..."
After a pause, Hinata asked with great curiosity, "Orochimaru, did you reach an agreement with the Raikage? What did you discuss?"
"Hehehehe..."
Orochimaru chuckled and said in a sinister tone, "Of course, it's to help him seize the Sunagakure Impure World Reincarnation from Sunagakure!"
"Ah?"
Hinata Outer Path, "You would actually do something like this for the Raikage?"
Orochimaru explained, "Although there are many conflicts among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, those who can sit in the position of 'Kage' will never disregard the overall situation and easily allow us to provoke a war!"
"It is precisely because the Raikage saw this that he dared to act so recklessly."
Hinata said "Oh," already understanding.
Simply put, in a balanced situation, whoever is more shameless will benefit.
The Raikage was clearly the shameless one. He understood the fear that Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sand Village had of the Akatsuki, and knew that they dared not easily disrupt the balance of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, which is why he dared to carry out his actions recklessly.
Even if the Kumogakure is caught red-handed during an operation, the Raikage only needs to be firm, and the Konoha and the Sand Village will not do anything to the Kumogakure.
This is utterly thuggish behavior!
Orochimaru continued, "Among the Five Kage, the Raikage is the most impulsive. The Raikage is key to your Hyuga Clan's attempt to sow discord among the Five Great Shinobi Villages."
"The Raikage's last attempt to seize the Impure World Reincarnation failed. If the attempts fail one after another, the Raikage will naturally give up."
"But what if it succeeds?"
Orochimaru scoffed, his tone disdainful. "When the Raikage all three parts of the Impure World Reincarnation... then he must get his hands on this last one no matter what."
"I see!"
Hinata gave Orochimaru a thumbs up. "Orochimaru is brilliant!"
Suddenly remembering something, Hinata's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.
"So, does that mean the Raikage has to get the Impure World Reincarnation from Sunagakure?"
"But... but my mission is to protect the Impure World Reincarnation!"
Orochimaru said calmly, "It is precisely because your mission is to protect the Impure World Reincarnation that Kumogakure has the opportunity!"
"No way!"
Hinata said with a troubled expression, "In that case, there will be an experience of 'mission failed' in my ninja record."
Orochimaru: "..."
Orochimaru simply couldn't understand Hinata's thinking. Was 'mission failure' really that important? Which ninja hasn't experienced mission failure?
Especially someone like Hinata, who is already the mastermind behind the scenes in the Shinobi World, would she still value Konoha's ninja experience?
"It's just a failed mission..."
As if he had thought of something, Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice with a hint of mockery, "You're different from that White Fang guy. Tsunade won't do anything to you just because you failed a mission!"
"Oh dear! That's not the reason!"
Hinata tugged at her hair in frustration, unsure how to explain it to Orochimaru.
Hinata has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In her past life, even when playing games, Hinata took her character stats very seriously.
As a time traveler from the 21st Century, Hinata's fervent pursuit of 'five-star reviews' and 'likes' is something the natives of the Ninja World can never understand.
