Having heard this, Hinata already understood everything, but Hinata still had some doubts.

Hinata may not be interested in intrigues and power struggles, but she has the analytical skills she has developed from a young age.

Since it's about Orochimaru, why would Temari deliberately send herself away?

Hinata didn't believe that the Hyuga Clan's cooperation with Orochimaru had been exposed. If Konoha really knew about this, they would probably have isolated the Hyuga Clan long ago.

Sure enough, Temari's slightly hesitant voice came through. "Sending Hinata to track Orochimaru... this..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Shikamaru said in a deep voice, "Although the village has these concerns, I have always believed in Hinata!"

You don't believe a damn thing!

Hinata couldn't help but complain.

Earlier, when Hinata asked Shikamaru about the deployment of Sunagakure, Shikamaru jokingly changed the subject.

Actually, Shikamaru can't be entirely blamed. After all, this isn't the carefree childhood he was in. Tsunade's promotion of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to counterbalance the Hyuga Clan has gradually created rifts between the clans that were originally on good terms.

Although this conflict will not manifest in Hinata, Shikaku Nara and Hyuga Hiashi will not allow the younger generation to interfere in their affairs.

However, being part of a family, they inevitably have a subtle influence on the younger generation.

However, Shikaku Nara is intelligent and easygoing, and Hyuga Hiashi doesn't want to get involved in village affairs, so this conflict isn't very intense.

It was just some uninformed members of other clans who made up their own ideas and imagined conflicts between several families.

Hinata had initially thought that Shikamaru was hiding things from her because of his family, but now it seems there are indeed things she doesn't know.

Temari at Shikamaru for a long time before saying, "Since you believe in Hinata, then I'm willing to believe in her too..."

Hinata: I'm sorry, I'm going to let you down!

After a pause, Temari continued, "During Hinata's time in Sunagakure, she was always within the Anbu's sights..."

Before Temari could finish speaking, Shikamaru interrupted, "The one the Anbu saw was most likely just Shadow Clone. If she wants to hide it, the Anbu and Root won't be able to find her."

"However, that secret medicine used by the Hyuga Clan to enhance their strength..."

At this point, Shikamaru frowned slightly, clearly showing some concern.

Since it involved the Hyuga Clan, Konoha couldn't openly investigate. Therefore, Tsunade used Gaara's influence to investigate secretly, Temari was also aware of this.

The Hyuga Clan has never studied herbalism. Even though there are some medical-nin in the clan, the kind of secret medicine that can enhance strength is not something that can be easily researched.

Tsunade was Orochimaru's teammate, so she naturally understood Orochimaru's talents.

Even without evidence, Tsunade linked the Hyuga Clan with Orochimaru.

Temari shook her head and said, "Gaara's control over the village is not strong enough right now, so he can't fully investigate this matter. There are no leads yet."

Hinata felt a little tired. Are there still any secrets left in this world?

Can you really associate Orochimaru with just the secret medicine?

Okay! You guessed right!

Most of a ninja's missions are actually to gather inside information, or rather, to gather intelligence. And what is exactly related to intelligence is the ability to analyze it.

Analytical skills and the ability to formulate battle plans are the core criteria for evaluating an excellent ninja.

Take the Chunin Ninja Exams the Original Story work as an example. Sasuke saw that he couldn't answer any of the written test questions, combined with the information revealed by Ibiki's words, he could infer that this was an exam testing cheating skills.

For a ninja, it's not difficult to associate the effects of the secret medicine with Orochimaru.

Alright! Only now does Hinata finally understand why the village is so wary of the Hyuga Clan.

The Hyuga Clan's collective hard work in training is nothing special; cooperating with Orochimaru is the real big deal.

Perhaps in the village's eyes, this already counts as using any means necessary to gain power?

Therefore, if this mission fails, the village will definitely suspect me.

Even if Hinata only provides information, it's the same.

Because of Hinata's sensory abilities, even if the Kumogakure changes its tactics immediately after Hinata provides the information, Hinata can still provide a second piece of information in time.

Thinking about this, Hinata suddenly understood Orochimaru's intention in deliberately revealing the secret.

"Could Orochimaru have deliberately transferred me away from Sunagakure?"

"In that case, the affairs of Sunagakure will no longer be my concern. With Kumogakure cooperating with Orochimaru... uh! Orochimaru himself absolutely cannot appear in Sunagakure, so it will be a matter of cooperating with Orochimaru's subordinates!"

Kindness...

"Orochimaru, you're a good person. I really misunderstood you before!"

Having understood Orochimaru's good intentions, Hinata was deeply moved and almost shed tears.

However, the truth is...

A private residence somewhere in the Land of Wind.

"Lord Orochimaru, it won't be long before you have to run for your life!"

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses and said jokingly, "Although I can't yet figure out your intention to deliberately expose your whereabouts, there is a terrifying existence within Sunagakure."

Due to Orochimaru's deliberate concealment, Kabuto Yakushi was unaware of Orochimaru's collaboration with the Hyuga Clan.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't pay much attention to what Orochimaru said.

"By Hinata away from Sunagakure, you no longer need to worry about your actions on the other side."

If Hinata were here, Hinata would definitely shout: Orochimaru, this is not what we agreed on!

Orochimaru actually made Hinata a double agent, and Hinata was quite excited about it for a while!

Double agent? That's something only people like Kabuto Yakushi or Itachi Uchiha can do. Sending Hinata to be a double agent is practically an admission of Hinata Hyuga's intelligence.

Kabuto Yakushi said calmly, "If Lord Orochimaru personally intervenes to hold Hinata, our operation will indeed be much easier."

"Sunagakure is currently lacking in talent; even Baki died at the hands of Akatsuki."

Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and said calmly, "Go!"

"Yes!"

Kabuto Yakushi turned and walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.

"..."

Watching Kabuto Yakushi figure, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and remained silent for a moment.

"Kabuto! Don't let me down! If you want to do something..."

The room fell silent instantly. Even in the dry and sweltering Land of Wind, Orochimaru's room still had a chilly feel to it.

After a long while, Orochimaru's lips curled slightly. "As for Hinata... I wonder how that little one will react after learning this information?"

"However, staying in your Sunagakure will indeed ruin things!"
