Orochimaru "Releases" Sasori of the Red Sands

Hinata's concerns were not unfounded.

In the Original Story, the team that rescued Gaara consisted only of Might Guy's Team and Kakashi's Team, plus an old woman Chiyo.

Kakashi and Might Guy are both Elite Jonin, fully capable of fighting against Sasori of the Red Sands and Deidara.

However, given Akatsuki's arrogance, using the 'Five Seal Barrier' to hold off four people was enough. If they held off one more person, it would make Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sands feel underestimated.

Hinata never understood why, when watching anime in her previous life, five forbidden sigils could only create four copies of a person.

However, once Hinata understood the Akatsuki's pride, she was able to understand their behavior.

However, this is not the Original Story. Although the number of people rescuing Gaara is small, Hinata is among them.

If they could create a clone of Hinata with equal strength, the Akatsuki would gain access to all of Hinata's information and understand Hinata full power.

This is not impossible.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Hinata can be copied 100%, all five talismans likely possess the ability to copy.

Hinata had to explain, "Teacher Kakashi, if we remove this talisman, it will instantly create a clone of someone with the exact same strength as us."

Naruto asked, puzzled, "Hinata, what does this mean?"

Kakashi and Chiyo looked serious; they immediately understood Hinata's meaning.

A full-scale battle between two Hinata might cause unimaginable pain to the world, much like the battle Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Those of them, who were in the center of the battlefield, could easily be killed by the Ninjutsu if they weren't careful.

More importantly, no one in the Shinobi World knows the upper limit of Hinata's strength. Although Kakashi and Chiyo are also curious about this, if the price is to create another Hinata, then forget it!

Kakashi understood this even better; Hinata's strength was definitely more than what it appeared on the surface.

Over the years, Hinata has been staying at home in the Hyuga residence researching Ninjutsu, and no one knows exactly how strong Hinata has become.

Hinata is currently at an age where a ninja's strength can improve the fastest.

Chiyo pondered for a moment, then looked at Hinata and said calmly, "Every kind of barrier has its limit, and the Chakra needed to maintain a barrier is also limited."

Magic must follow the principle of equivalent exchange, science must abide by the Law of Conservation of Energy, Ninjutsu is no exception.

Hinata nodded slightly.

Since we can't break the barrier using normal methods, we'll have to confront it head-on.

"Step back a bit!"

Hinata walked up to the boulder and secretly activated her Tenseigan.

It's clearer now.

Hinata grabbed the barrier, her five fingers gripping an invisible membrane, and then pulled it back sharply.

Smack!

A soft sound.

'Boom—'

Hinata swung her palm out, and the Chakra shockwave, concentrated to its maximum, instantly shattered the rock.

"Call..."

Hinata took a deep breath and silently closed her Tenseigan.

'Swish swish swish swish!'

Hinata and the other three Body Flicker Technique into the cave.

Gaara lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands stood beside Gaara, watching Hinata three with amusement in their eyes.

"You bunch of bastards!"

I'm going to kill you all!

Naruto's eyes turned into the Nine-Tails' red vertical pupils, the whiskers on his face became more pronounced, and his teeth became sharper.

"Gaara! What are you sleeping over there for?!"

"Get up right now!"

Hinata silently watched Naruto, her heart filled with indescribable feelings.

Although Hinata had long ago decided to stop caring about everything in the Shinobi World and slowly sever her ties with this world, Naruto was, after all, Hinata's childhood friend, and someone she had bullied since Hinata.

Hinata can understand Naruto's feelings.

However, this understanding is not based on human instinct, but rather on reason.

To put it another way.

Everyone understands the emotion of 'love,' but some people love out of human instinct, while others rationally tell themselves that they should love.

Instinctive love is the condition for opening the Mangekyo's eyes.

And that kind of rational love... even if you lose love, you will only rationally tell yourself 'I should be sad', instead of being sad from the depths of your soul or from your instinct.

While feeling sorry for Naruto, Hinata also had some indescribable feelings about herself.

Hinata could sense that she had feelings for Naruto and Kakashi... However, at this moment, even if they suddenly died, Hinata might feel that she should be sad, but she no longer had the ability to be sad.

It's a very strange feeling.

"Hey! Gaara, can't you hear me?!"

Naruto continued to roar.

Kakashi said calmly, "That's enough, Naruto! You should know very well..."

Orochimaru licked his lips and replied, "That's right, Naruto. You should know very well that he's dead!"

Sasori of the Red Sands glanced at Orochimaru: "This Jinchuriki looks... like he really wants to take him back!"

Orochimaru joked, "What should we do?"

"If it's just the two of us, we might get beaten to death!"

The current situation is clear: Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands are trapped in a cave Hinata and her three companions, and the information that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has also been leaked.

Pain ordered the capture of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, to capture Naruto and Hinata must be separated.

Therefore, Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands must also act separately.

But now there is a problem.

Even though the Akatsuki members were very arrogant, they knew very well that if the person facing Hinata couldn't escape, he would definitely be killed.

Furthermore, Chiyo definitely wants to fight Sasori of the Red Sands.

Besides these, Orochimaru also knew information that Sasori of the Red Sands did not know... Hinata and Black Zetsu were the people behind Akatsuki, and they never intended to take the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body.

Furthermore, Orochimaru never intended to work for the Akatsuki.

"We agreed to each have one..."

Orochimaru casually kicked Gaara, his tone playful. "Then the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is yours!"

Sasori of the Red Sands coldly stared at Orochimaru. He didn't object to the suggestion, but he was curious about how Orochimaru planned to lure Hinata away.

Orochimaru was very confident. His body slowly sank into the ground, and he looked at Hinata, saying, "Hinata, let's go outside..."

"If you don't keep up..."

Orochimaru gave Kakashi a threatening look. He figured Hinata might not understand the threat implied in his words, but Kakashi certainly would.

As expected, Kakashi nodded solemnly to Hinata.
