Sure enough, only the Third was the wisest
The expressions on the faces of the Third and Chiyo are just too ambiguous!
Hinata felt she might have discovered the truth.
For example...
Third and Chiyo were originally lovers, but because they belonged to different factions, they could not stay together for life.
Later, the Third got married, Chiyo also got married.
However, the Third could not tolerate Chiyo being with other men, so he sent White Fang to assassinate Chiyo's husband, as well as her son and daughter-in-law.
Chiyo was devastated and revealed the truth to the Third ... It turned out that Chiyo's son was actually the Third's biological son!
The Third Hokage was filled with regret, which led to the tragedy of the Konoha White Fang.
Hinata imagined a tragic love story and decided to write it down sometime, hoping it might become a hit and earn her some money.
Hinata 'Jiraiya bankbook for a long time.
Jiraiya is actually richer than me, a rich heiress!
"Cough cough!"
The Third Hinata back to her senses.
"It seems you've grown a lot these past few years! Come on! Let me see your progress!"
As he finished speaking, the Third Hokage Hand Seals and created four more Shadow Clone.
Along with their main bodies, the five Third simultaneously threw Shuriken, and then all five Hand Seals at the same time.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Hinata flapped her wings, and her Senjutsu Chakra channeled Natural Energy, creating a whirlwind. The overwhelming Shuriken were scattered by the wind before they could even reach Hinata.
"Grandpa Hokage, are you serious?"
Hinata tilted her head and looked at the Third.
"I'm not Pervy Sage; such petty tricks won't work on me!"
Thanks to the well-informed Anbu, the Third naturally knew who the nickname "Pervy Sage" referred to.
The Third nodded slightly. Although they had only exchanged one move, Hinata's growth still shocked Third.
As a Ninjutsu expert, the Third's understanding of 'jutsu' was in no way inferior to Orochimaru's. If Kakashi was a man who copied thousands of Ninjutsu, then the Third could certainly be called a man who mastered thousands of Ninjutsu.
Copying and mastering are two completely different concepts.
"He actually mastered Sage Mode! Time really flies!"
The Third feels they are truly getting old. Whenever they see the younger generation grow up, Third feel gratified but also can't help but lament the passage of time and the fading of heroes.
"It's only been two years!"
Hinata felt it necessary to remind the Third that it would be best if they could sit down and have a chat.
Although the Kumogakure has been captured, Hinata still has the task of 'delaying for ten minutes'!
In any case, completing the mission will prove Hinata's abilities.
The reason others delay is because they are weak and have no choice but to wait for support or to decipher the other side's intelligence.
However, Hinata was stalling for time because her opponent was too weak and could easily be killed if she wasn't careful.
"Two years..."
If the Third Hokage had a pipe, looking up at the sky, he would have looked quite similar to Hinata's previous pose of "life is as lonely as snow".
Turning his gaze to Hinata, the Third Hokage said calmly, "Hinata, tell me about what has happened in the past two years!"
Holy crap! Third brilliant minds!
Hinata suddenly realized that all the Kage she had encountered before were fools, and only the Third was truly wise.
Listen to what the Third to say!
Tell me about what has happened in the past two years!
What use is it for a dead person like you to know what's happening in the world of the living? Isn't this just blatantly stalling for time so that Sunagakure suffers even greater losses?
As expected, old age without death is the mark of a thief, and the Third has become quite cunning.
"OK!"
Hinata nodded in agreement.
The Third couldn't control his body, and as he spoke, the five of them Hand Seals again.
"Five Elements - Great Continuous Bullet Technique!"
The Third Hokage, along with four Shadow Clones, simultaneously unleashed five Ninjutsu: wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth. The Five Elements Ninjutsu worked in tandem, crushing Hinata with overwhelming force.
Wherever the Five Elements Ninjutsu passed, the earth churned and everything around turned to dust.
"Sharp!"
Hinata shouted, flapped her wings, and soared into the sky, dodging the Third's Five Elements Composite Ninjutsu from mid-air.
A Third fighter on the ground warned, "Be careful!"
Three Third appeared simultaneously from three directions around Hinata, and all three Hand Seals at the same time.
"Ninja Technique - Three-Way Sealing!"
A green, transparent, pyramid-shaped barrier surrounded Hinata. Hinata tested it with her Air Palm and found that the defensive power of the Three-Way Sealing was extremely strong, almost on par with the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Especially now that the Third possesses almost unlimited Chakra, unless Hinata can shatter the barrier in an instant, it will be difficult for her to outlast the Third.
As the three Third landed, Hinata was forced to fall to the ground by the barrier.
As expected of the Hokage who is hailed as the 'strongest'...
Hinata floated within the barrier and nodded to herself.
To be honest, the Third Hokage was definitely far inferior to Hashirama Senju, but compared to the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, it's hard to say who was stronger.
The Flying Thunder God is quite overpowered, but it might not actually be able to instantly kill the Third Flying Thunder God his peak.
The Third had too many methods; even Orochimaru was extremely wary of Third at his peak. Hinata, witnessing it firsthand, had to acknowledge the Third's power.
Aside from not knowing Senjutsu and lacking Kekkei Genkai, the Third had truly reached the pinnacle of ninja.
However, the pinnacle of a ninja is ultimately just the pinnacle of an ordinary person, fundamentally different from Hinata, who has already achieved a leap in life.
"Heavenly Spin!"
The Senjutsu Chakra spun wildly, condensing into a bright blue Chakra ball Hinata.
With Chakra bursting forth from her feet, Hinata soared into the sky with the "Heavenly Spin" technique.
'Heavenly Spin Bomb!'
'Sizzle sizzle...'
A piercing friction sound filled the air as the azure Chakra sphere rubbed wildly against the green pyramid-shaped barrier, the power of Senjutsu Chakra clashing violently with the power of Sealing Jutsu ...
"Break!"
'Sizzle... Boom...'
With an explosion, Hinata broke through the barrier, her wings spreading behind her back, shimmering brightly in the sunlight.
Third: "..."
Hinata: "..."
Hinata had no idea what the Third Hokage was really thinking. All her previous speculations about the Third Hinata own imagination.
However, with the Third Hokage taking action, Hinata also got carried away and wanted to compete with this so-called 'strongest' Hokage, to the point that she completely forgot her original intention.
"Cough cough!"
The Third stood on the ruins and asked casually, "Hinata, how is Konoha now? I heard Chiyo say that the current Fifth Hokage is that girl Tsunade?"
Yes! Yes!
Hinata nodded repeatedly and replied seriously, "Konoha is doing very well now; it's already the strongest ninja village in the Shinobi World!"
Hinata and the Third exchanged a glance. Although their eyes did not convey any signal, they achieved a tacit understanding at that moment!
