A Traitor Among Us

"Who should we ask to buy us time next?"

Hinata looked around and felt that the Kage were all trash, unable to even buy time!

At this point, Sunagakure was in complete chaos, with ninja battles raging everywhere, villagers fleeing in panic, and explosions and screams echoing continuously.

This is probably what Pain's attack on Konoha looked like in the Original Story manga!

Yellow sand swirled and Iron Sand filings crisscrossed—that was Gaara facing off against the Third Kazekage.

A white puppet hovered in the air, unleashing a dense barrage of projectiles like a sudden storm. On the ground, the five Ninjutsu of Wind, Lightning, Water, Fire, Earth intertwined, occasionally combining several Ninjutsu together. It was Chiyo facing off against the Third Hokage.

'Boom--'

A deafening explosion came from afar, and the surrounding buildings were reduced to dust in an instant.

Ebizo was completely overwhelmed by the Second Mizukage, whose "Steaming Danger Tyranny created an invincible array of explosive clones that would explode every so often.

In terms of killings alone, the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage committed the most murders.

The Second Tsuchikage was completely unstoppable; no matter how many ordinary ninjas there were, they were no different from nothing in front of Second Tsuchikage.

The Sunagakure wasn't unaware of the dangers of 'Dust Release'; it was precisely because they deeply understood its power that they dared not confront the Second Tsuchikage.

That's Ninjutsu that kills instantly upon contact; currently, no one in Sunagakure can withstand it.

After Hinata killed the two Fourth Hokage of Konoha and Sand Village, the battlefield gradually became more balanced.

"Hmm..."

It should be said that Sunagakure has completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. Even though Hinata has killed two of them, Ebizo is no match for the Second Mizukage, and the Second Tsuchikage is attacking without restraint.

Although these two were unhappy about being controlled, they were attacking Sunagakure, not the allied forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages from the Original Story.

It would be strange if the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage showed mercy since they didn't see any ninja from their own village.

They were all Kage during the war, the people who knew best the hatred between ninja villages.

Show mercy and befriend Sand Village?

It would be better to focus all efforts on weakening Sunagakure's fighting force, since Sunagakure has never been an ally of Iwagakure and Kirigakure anyway.

What's more, Orochimaru is also taking the blame for this.

Under Hinata's Byakugan perception, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage were killing with great gusto, and in a short period of time, at least several hundred people from Sunagakure died at their hands.

On the contrary, the Third Hokage, that "good guy," was clearly talking to Chiyo, judging from his mouth opening and Chiyo.

Hinata watched for a long time, but the Third Hokage showed no mercy; in fact, he was even more ruthless than when he was alive.

"That's how a 'Kage' should act!" Hinata gave the Third Hokage a thumbs up.

While saying nice things to you and trying to improve the friendly diplomatic relations between Konoha and Sand Village, he expressed his helplessness in the face of his own circumstances and strongly condemned Orochimaru's actions.

And what about the other side?

The Third Hokage showed no mercy and killed as many Sand Ninja as possible.

Anyway, I had no choice in the matter!

Hinata felt that the Third Hokage must have collaborated with Danzo on many such matters while he was alive.

In comparison, the behavior of the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage was completely inferior.

Even if someone is determined to kill, they should at least show some goodwill and explain that their actions are all due to being controlled by Orochimaru.

However... the Third Kazekage must be going crazy by now, right?

The legendary strongest Kazekage!

His body was turned into a puppet (inflatable doll?) by Sasori of the Red Sands and played with daily, while his soul was resurrected by Orochimaru using the 'Impure World Reincarnation' technique to attack Sunagakure.

Hinata shuddered, experiencing an intense fear of death for the first time.

Hinata felt that if she died, Orochimaru would definitely not let her body go, and even Konoha would probably study it in secret.

Just like how they treated Hashirama Senju!

"..."

"As expected, only immortality is the true path."

While she was thinking, Hinata had already flown to the front of the Second Tsuchikage.

The other three all have their own opponents, Hinata can only face this guy now.

"Hi!"

Hinata waved her hand at the air.

The Second Tsuchikage's body slowly emerged; his face was obscured by bandages, but he still recognized Hinata.

"It's you?"

"I never expected that a Konoha ninja would appear in Sunagakure..."

Hinata explained, "It's because of the Chunin Ninja Exams! You died too young, you probably don't know about this, right?"

The Second Tsuchikage looked at Hinata and said admiringly, "Truly outstanding sensory abilities..."

Looking around, the Second Tsuchikage suddenly spoke up, "So, are you going to stop me... or are you trying to stall for time?"

Hinata: "..."

Holy crap! Is this guy an idiot?

Hinata rolled her eyes and stared at the sky speechlessly!

I've already chatted with you!

Chat! Chat! Chat!

I suppose anyone should know what it means to chat with the enemy on the battlefield, right?

It's either to probe for intelligence or to buy time.

Hinata was able to defeat the Second Tsuchikage in a single battle last time, Hinata need his information?

However, the Second Tsuchikage's words directly forced Hinata into a desperate situation where she had to take action.

Has a traitor appeared on our side?

Is this bandaged man a spy sent by Sunagakure? Or has he made some kind of shady deal with Sunagakure?

Yes! We must be wary of Iwagakure!

If the Second Tsuchikage knew what Hinata was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged!

First of all, the Second Tsuchikage was a sensory ninja, so he knew what Hinata was doing on the other two battlefields.

Having already taken down two people, the Second Tsuchikage had no idea that Hinata would try to stall him for time.

Moreover, the perspectives of the living and the dead are different.

Given this, the Second Tsuchikage naturally felt he had to sow discord among them.

You greeted me, right?

You didn't act immediately, did you?

Alright, you must be deliberately stalling for time so that Sunagakure will suffer even greater losses.

The Second Tsuchikage was convinced he had guessed correctly and gave himself a score of 82 out of 100 for his intelligence and actions, sending the remaining 18 points to himself as "666".

A greeting? No immediate action? That must be to buy time!

Wait... stalling for time?

The Second Tsuchikage looked at Hinata's dark face and realized he might have done something stupid.

However, seeing the slightly suspicious looks in the eyes of the Sand Ninja around Hinata, the Second Tsuchikage felt that he had not done anything wrong.

If killing fewer people can cause a conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure, it would obviously be a win for Kirigakure.

Moreover, before attacking Sunagakure, the Second Tsuchikage had a chat with several other Kage, including Orochimaru, who was missing-nin from Konoha.

"Kindness!"

The Second Tsuchikage thought to himself, "As long as we continue to stall for time with this little girl, the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure will inevitably crumble!"
