Ahem! A Young Lady Should Win Without Lifting a Finger

"Judging from the timeline, it's June now. If the Joint Chunin Exam are to be held, this is roughly the time when the villages will start communicating with each other."

Thinking of this, Hinata patted her bottom and got up.

Hinata has planted several spies in the Akatsuki, such as Itachi Uchiha and Orochimaru... They can all provide Hinata with intelligence, and even Black Zetsu can.

If you want to know the exact timing of Xiao's actions, just ask someone.

Back at the Hyuga residence, Hinata ate dinner first, then washed up and went back to her room alone.

"Kindness..."

Hinata leaned against the bed, hugging a pillow, wondering which spy would be the best to contact.

Black Zetsu is ruled out first, as he doesn't yet know Hinata's abilities. To contact Black Zetsu, one must leave a coded message in the Back Mountain Konoha and then have White Zetsu notify Black Zetsu.

Awaken the Tenseigan, and connect to visual sharing via Artificial Satellite...

"Brother Itachi!"

Hinata's cheerful voice echoed in Itachi Uchiha's mind.

Hinata hasn't contacted Itachi Uchiha for a while. Teasing the blockhead was fun at first, but it got boring after a while.

Hinata wouldn't even glance at someone like Itachi Uchiha, who has almost no sense of humor, if he weren't Daimyo.

Hinata?

Itachi Uchiha sat cross-legged on the bed, somewhat surprised and delighted to hear Hinata's voice.

"Brother Itachi, I have a question for you!"

"Hinata, immediately report to the Lord Hokage, Akatsuki's operation is about to begin!"

Hinata and Itachi Uchiha both 'spoke' in their minds at the same time.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask!"

Hinata asked excitedly, "Is Akatsuki's first target Sunagakure? When will they begin their operation?"

In truth, Sunagakure is quite pitiful.

Especially with Hinata's intervention, Sunagakure has suffered heavy losses in the past three years and can't even produce a single strong person to hold their own.

However, ninja villages have never been worthy of sympathy.

Pain aptly put it, the peace of the major Shinobi Village is built upon the suffering of the minor Shinobi Village.

Ironically, the reason why the Shinobi World is in chaos is that all the ninjas want to protect their own villages.

There are only two ways to protect the village: either strengthen yourself or weaken others.

Sunagakure can only be considered a loser in the struggle between ninja villages.

Sensing that her cheerful tone was a bit off, Hinata coughed lightly and said seriously, "The village already has some guesses about this."

Itachi Uchiha: I don't believe you for a second.

When Itachi Uchiha first made contact with Hinata, he did believe that Hinata represented the village, but that she herself was a bit unreliable.

However, such things simply cannot withstand investigation.

Hinata never told the village that she had made contact with Itachi Uchiha. Hinata's "upline" only represents Hinata herself and has nothing to do with Konoha.

After all, Hinata's abilities cannot be easily revealed.

This is why Itachi Uchiha refused the more than one hundred tasks assigned to him by Hinata on behalf of the Hinata, including trying to woo Konan.

Moreover, the refusal was made with righteous indignation.

"Yes!"

Itachi Uchiha calmly said, "The task of capturing the One-Tail is being handled by Sasori and Orochimaru's group. They have already taken action. Kisame and I will also be setting off soon."

"They've already taken action?"

Hinata, oblivious to the world around her, said, "Then I wish you success!"

Itachi Uchiha: "..."

"No, I mean, only if you succeed will it be possible for Sunagakure to ask Konoha for help."

Hinata changed her tone and said, "After all, the Sand Village doesn't have any strong ninjas left, so they can't deal with you at all."

Itachi Uchiha didn't dwell on the matter. He knew very well that Hinata wouldn't report the information to Konoha, and he also knew that Konoha couldn't interfere in the affairs of other ninja villages at will. He was just informing Hinata so that Hinata could be prepared.

After all, from any perspective, Hinata is the main force against the Akatsuki.

"Naruto has returned to the village?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

"Yes!"

Hinata nodded. "You came back today. You're very well-informed!"

Itachi Uchiha said, "Akatsuki has information about Lord Jiraiya, so it's not hard to deduce this based on the timeline."

Hinata decided to say something Itachi Uchiha wanted to hear, "Naruto is very persistent about Sasuke. You can meet him sometime."

Itachi Uchiha was silent for a moment, then said, "I will!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that there was nothing left to talk about, Hinata said casually, "Now that you know about Akatsuki, I'll hang up."

Itachi Uchiha nodded. "Yes! If Orochimaru's operation goes smoothly, Konoha will receive information from Sunagakure in a few days."

Hinata hung up the call and fell into deep thought.

Nothing much went wrong with the Akatsuki. The Three-Tails is about to be resurrected, and the Akatsuki has launched an operation to capture the Tailed Beasts.

According to the Original Story, the capture of the One-Tail to the Seven-Tails went very smoothly.

However, as the Akatsuki became increasingly active, its members were killed one by one. When capturing the Eight-Tails, Obito could only rely on Sasuke's power and was even tricked by Killer B using a substitute.

But things are different now.

Orochimaru could use the Impure Minato Namikaze Impure World Reincarnation and obtain the other half of the Nine-Tails. If the operation to capture Killer B goes smoothly, Obito could directly revive the Ten-Tails and then activate Infinite Tsukuyomi to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"But..."

The question remains: the manner of Nagato and Obito's deaths is crucial, unless Black Zetsu stops insisting on using Madara Uchiha as a sacrifice for resurrection.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection was not a matter of possession. As long as her soul merged with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path of the nine Tailed Beast Chakra, she could naturally descend upon the Shinobi World.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is Kaguya Otsutsuki's body.

Therefore, the importance of 'sacrifice' is merely a pursuit of Black Zetsu.

Or perhaps it's a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"..."

"Forget it! Why should I worry about it?"

Hinata suddenly pursed her lips.

The person who should really be worried about this is Black Zetsu, right?

"As expected, the young lady should just sit back and win; let others do the strategizing!"

Hinata has come to realize that she's not destined to worry about things.

"I just need to patiently wait for the final result and then enjoy the fruits of victory!"

"Even if the plan fails, Black Zetsu is the one I'm most worried about!"

"And..."

Hinata touched her stomach.

As long as the Sealed Space exists, it's hard to say who will outlast whom Hinata and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After this period of nurturing, the Sealed Space is now completely different from what it used to be.

Tailed Beasts called 'Nascent Soul' seems to be forming within Hinata's body.

When Hinata stored her spiritual power and life force into the Sealed Space, the Natural Energy 'naturally' accepted these two energies.

This change...

Calling it 'World Creation' might be a bit of an exaggeration, but calling it 'creation of life' is definitely not an exaggeration!
