Be a Filial Good Daughter

The Sunagakure was in ruins after the war.

Although the battle lasted less than ten minutes and only six people attacked Sunagakure, the damage it caused to Sunagakure far exceeded the Konoha Crush Plan two years ago.

The casualties caused by ordinary ninja fighting are nowhere near as great as the casualties caused by Kage Level powerhouse's wanton slaughter.

After the war, one-third of the buildings in Sunagakure were reduced to ruins. The casualties among ninjas and civilians have not yet been tallied, but they are estimated to be considerable.

Although Gaara Orochimaru 'Orochimaru unbridled nature and his current strength.

Who would have thought that Orochimaru could summon six Kage-level powerhouses at once?

If Hinata hadn't sealed away the Fourth Kazekage, the Fourth Hokage, and the Second Tsuchikage, the losses to Sunagakure would have been far greater.

In particular, the Second Mizukage's Steaming Danger Tyranny caused heavy casualties to Sunagakure. Each explosion of the Steam Man meant that more than a dozen Sand Ninja died on the spot.

Before Hinata stopped the Second Tsuchikage, his Dust Release was almost always fatal, Sunagakure could only use lives to stop the Second Tsuchikage's advance.

I heard that Ebizo also died in battle...

Hinata stood by the hotel window, watching the people outside busily treating the wounded, but felt neither joy nor sorrow.

Hinata originally thought she would feel very guilty and sad.

But when Hinata actually did such a thing, she was very calm, and even thought, "This has nothing to do with me."

However, without Hinata's help, Orochimaru, with his current strength, would be unable to control six Kage at their peak.

Looking at her reflection in the window, Hinata reached out and touched her face.

"I've really become a bad girl!"

Hinata has always considered herself the 'mastermind behind the scenes of the Shinobi World '.

But before that, Hinata would never have tolerated herself doing such a thing.

Previously, when the Kumogakure and the Konoha clashed at the border, Black Zetsu suggested taking the opportunity to instigate a war between the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Hinata, however, refused without hesitation, even at the cost of turning against Black Zetsu.

However, Hinata has now taken the initiative to do this.

Hinata really wanted to know why.

Hinata knew very well that she had not been affected by any Genjutsu, nor by anyone else's Chakra. Even the will contained in Urashiki's Chakra had disappeared under Hinata's will.

Is this the real me?

Hinata was somewhat stunned.

Having actually done something that propelled the war, Hinata suddenly felt that her previous cautious self was almost laughable, and that she was even more laughable now.

"Never mind!"

Hinata blinked and smiled slightly at her reflection in the window.

There's no point in dwelling on this. Instead of judging right and wrong now, it's better to wait until everything settles down before reflecting on whether you were right or wrong today.

Hinata felt this was a sign of maturity.

It abandons some naivety and passion, and only considers issues from the most realistic perspective.

Hinata ultimately did not pursue the Cloud Ninja, but Gaara did send men to do so.

Ten squads, each with ten members, pursued the Cloud Ninja from ten different directions, but in the end, they found nothing, and only nine squads returned to Sunagakure alive.

After this battle, Gaara's prestige in Sunagakure plummeted. Hinata would occasionally go out and overhear ninjas and villagers whispering that it was Gaara's flawed decisions that caused Sunagakure to suffer such a heavy loss.

Even when the Six Kage attacked Sunagakure, Gaara fought on the front lines and was seriously injured, but he could not stop the spread of rumors.

People often focus only on the result and not on the process.

This is also reflected in Hinata.

Regardless, when Orochimaru attacked Sunagakure, Hinata helped Sunagakure seal three Kage and held off the Third Hokage.

However, after Hinata refused to pursue the Cloud Ninja who stole the Impure World Reincarnation, Temari and Gaara's attitude towards Hinata subtly became somewhat distant. Even though they didn't consciously show it, Hinata could sense it.

Well, actually Hinata has no right to criticize this.

On the evening of the second day after the war ended, Tsunade's letter arrived in Sunagakure.

To be honest, Sunagakure was partly to blame for the significant losses suffered by Tsunade.

Orochimaru was originally only responsible for luring Hinata out of Sunagakure, while the actual operation would be carried out by Kabuto Yakushi in cooperation with the Cloud Ninja Village. It is said that some high-ranking members of Sunagakure were also bribed by the Kumogakure.

It can't be called bribery, but according to information revealed by Orochimaru, it should be a shared use of the Impure World Reincarnation.

How should we describe Orochimaru?

They have no moral bottom line, are unscrupulous, and fearless.

Since the plan to lure Hinata out of Sunagakure has failed, the only option left is to attack head-on.

Moreover, Orochimaru had previously been chased and fled in a sorry state by Konoha and Hinata. Now that his hands have recovered, he naturally wants to declare to the entire Shinobi World with a war: I, Orochimaru, have returned!

At the same time, it can also show the true power of the Impure World Reincarnation to the Raikage, making the Raikage even more eager for the Impure World Reincarnation.

In addition to offering condolences to Sunagakure, Tsunade's letter also urged Hinata and Shikamaru to return to Konoha as soon as possible.

With the Sunagakure caught in a war, the Joint Chunin Exam naturally came to an end.

The Sunagakure originally wanted to use the Chunin Ninja Exams to showcase its future power to the entire Shinobi World, but a war brought the Sunagakure to its lowest point.

If Sunagakure hadn't retained its former prestige, and if the Land of Wind hadn't been located in a desert with virtually no resources to be gained, neighboring countries would have attacked Sunagakure long ago.

However, for the Shinobi World, the disaster in Sunagakure undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

Orochimaru has already joined forces with Kumogakure.

The next target of Kumogakure is either Kirigakure or Iwagakure.

In the tense and dangerous Shinobi World, Konoha naturally had to make preparations early.

Because nobody knows what Orochimaru's true purpose is!

What benefit would Orochimaru gain from doing this?

Was this an order from the Akatsuki?

Or Orochimaru has other plans?

Orochimaru's goal was, of course, to retrieve Urashiki's body. Once Hinata returned to Konoha, they would go to space to retrieve Urashiki's body.

Urashiki's other eye served as the Hyuga Clan's trump card to counterbalance Orochimaru. After handing Urashiki's body over to Orochimaru, the Hyuga Clan considered that they had paid the remaining balance on the 'Body Tempering Pill'.

Orochimaru will continue to work for the Hyuga Clan until the final eye is traded.

Hinata doesn't know how things are going on with her clan. With such a big incident happening in Sunagakure Hyuga Hiashi must be feeling some pressure, right?

Hinata felt she should be a dutiful and obedient daughter.

Ignoring the fact that it was already past 10 p. m., Hinata Tenseigan and connected to the Artificial Satellite above Konoha...

"Good evening, Father!"
