The Beginning of the Land of Water's Turmoil

Regarding the question of Hizashi Hyuga, Hinata, as the heir to the Hyuga Main Family, can responsibly tell everyone that the answer is none.

The Hyuga Clan has been operating in Konoha for many years and has always kept a low profile, so they have a wide network of connections.

Take Neji's teammates and teacher Might Guy as examples; this is actually the network of connections within the Hyuga Clan.

However, the Hyuga Clan never secretly recruited or trained any ninja like Orochimaru or Danzo did.

Connections and loyalty are not the same thing.

Loyalty is loyalty in terms of stance, while connections refer to those who will help you in ways that don't change your stance.

Tsunade away from the village for many years and only serving as Konoha for two years, Hokage naturally wasn't very familiar with some of the village's hidden affairs.

After this test, Tsunade will soon be able to draw a conclusion.

The entire Hyuga clan is actively increasing their power, even resorting to taking secret medicines with unknown side effects, but their aim is not to seize power.

Since there was no secret effort to recruit ninjas, it naturally had nothing to do with ambition or power.

In fact, Tsunade has always been skeptical about the secret medicines used by the Hyuga Clan for training.

How could there be such a cheap thing in this world? Cultivation doesn't require effort; it can be achieved simply by taking secret medicine.

If there are no aftereffects at all, then what's the point of ninjas working so hard to train?

Hinata is the most qualified to speak on this issue.

Hinata is probably the only Hinata in the entire Shinobi World who dares to eat the Three Great Sage Regions.

Let's get back to the main topic.

If it could be proven that the Hyuga Clan was not acting out of power, Tsunade could rest assured.

Human nature has many weaknesses, and laziness is one of them.

When a person begins to consciously strive, it proves that this person has an ideal and goal worth fighting for.

Wealth, power, fame...

If we set aside these reasons and consider the historical truth from a thousand years ago, then what the Hyuga Clan pursued was nothing more than great strength or eternal life.

There's really not much to worry about.

From the current perspective, Hinata is the Hinata of the Hyuga Clan who has achieved great strength and eternal life.

In Tsunade's view, Hyuga Hiashi went so far as to have his clansmen take a secret medicine with certain side effects to enhance their strength, all in order to help Hinata seize some kind of power in the upcoming battle.

If Hinata had an eternal lifespan, the Hyuga Clan could naturally continue to exist for another thousand years, or even longer.

If the Hyuga Clan wants to seize this power, they will inevitably clash with the Akatsuki.

This explains Hyuga Hiashi's behavior at the meeting today.

In truth, Tsunade wasn't worried about a particular Konoha ninja gaining immense power; she was Hokage Tsunade. What she had always been concerned about was the enormous ambition to unify the Shinobi World.

This is a drawback, but it is also a rare advantage.

Of course, things may not develop as smoothly as the Hyuga Clan planned; everything depends on the next steps.

After listening to Hizashi Hyuga's analysis, and with Hinata's own intelligence, Hinata immediately understood the key point.

"Then there's nothing to worry about!"

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that her life as a young lady would not be affected.

Hinata doesn't like cultivating power, nor does she possess that kind of personal charisma. However, having grown accustomed to the life of a pampered young lady, Hinata finds having a power to be a wonderful thing.

If you want something or something to eat, just give the order.

Whatever you want to do, someone will happily do it for you.

How beautiful!

That's why Hinata values Hyuga Clan so much, because the clan's power will become Hinata's power in the future.

Actually, there are some ninjas and villagers in the village who admire Hinata, but they only admire Hinata's power and believe that Hinata's power protected Konoha.

Especially in today's chaotic Shinobi World, no ninja village dares to invade the Land of Fire, and this kind of worship has almost reached its peak.

But what if someone does something because they admire Hinata...?

Just look at Hinata's lifestyle!

A homebody!

In Konoha, most people know one thing: if you want to find Hinata, you'll definitely find her if you go to two places.

Hyuga residence, and a food street.

Hinata's otaku and foodie persona might boost her Hinata, but to say that Hinata to achieve some kind of ambition...

Hehe!

Hizashi Hyuga was very satisfied with Hinata's concern for the clan.

In contrast, Neji has been acting rather awkward lately.

Hizashi Hyuga thought to himself, "It seems it's time to tell Neji something, so he won't overthink things all the time."

At the same time, in the Land of Water.

In the dark cave, only a few oil lamps provided illumination.

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi's expressions appeared somewhat sinister in the dim light.

"Hiss..."

A small purple snake coiled around Orochimaru's arm, flicking its tongue and hissing twice.

"Lord Orochimaru, it seems you have finally made your decision."

Seeing Orochimaru's slightly amused look, Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses and tentatively asked, "So, between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, what will you choose?"

Many people believe that Orochimaru will have to choose between Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

"That doesn't matter at all!"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice held a hint of amusement. "Our goal has always been the same: the Byakugan of Kirigakure!"

"... He's finally willing to leave Kirigakure!"

Kabuto Yakushi was slightly surprised to hear this. He had always thought that Orochimaru would use the Impure World Reincarnation again to help a certain village seize the Kirigakure Impure World Reincarnation scroll from Kirigakure.

Although Kabuto Yakushi was unaware of Orochimaru's true purpose.

"Kabuto! Go and inform the Cloud Ninja and Stone Ninja that the operation can begin!"

Orochimaru moved his feet slightly and slowly walked towards the outside of the cave.

"After that... you can retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi respectfully replied, "Yes! Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto Yakushi has always admired Orochimaru's wisdom the most, not only in his research on techniques, but also in Orochimaru strategies.

They can easily manipulate the Shinobi World.

Original Story when Orochimaru were crippled and he was almost powerless, Kabuto Yakushi still maintained a respectful attitude towards Orochimaru and believed that Orochimaru would one day return to his prime.

"But... will the chaos in the Shinobi World end here?"

Kabuto Yakushi watched Orochimaru's retreating figure, his eyes flickering slightly behind his glasses.

"Both the Stone Ninja and the Cloud Ninja have made thorough plans, and Ao was lured out of Kirigakure by Lord Orochimaru. Hopefully, they can create a surprise!"
