Orochimaru Borrowing the Tiger's Might

Before leaving, Hinata couldn't help but glance at Sasori of the Red Sands, feeling a pang of pity for him.

Kakashi is the son of Konoha White Fang, and now the son of the enemy who killed Sasori of the Red Sands's parents is about to join forces with his grandmother to kill him.

There are always people in this world who clamor to eliminate hatred, Hinata doesn't deny that this idea is actually quite correct.

How ideal and wonderful it would be to have a world without hatred!

However, some wounds, even if they are gradually forgotten with the passage of time, are still there, scarred and shocking.

However, Kakashi was also innocent. When Konoha White Fang killed Sasori of the Red Sands's parents, Kakashi was probably very young, or even not yet born.

Moreover, Sasori of the Red Sands's parents died because of the war.

Hinata actually hates war too. If allowed, she would rather be the heir of the Hinata for the Hyuga Clan and stay at home every day to enjoy life.

However, when the two sides' ideologies clash, war will be inevitable.

Moreover, in many cases, changing a person's mindset is far more difficult than preventing a war.

Sasori of the Red Sands directly killed the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure and indirectly caused the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and Fifth Kazekage... In comparison, Hinata felt that Chiyo, the old woman who had dedicated her life to Sunagakure, was even more pitiful.

On one hand, there is his beloved grandson, and on the other hand, there is the village to which he has dedicated his life.

She has to choose between the two.

An elderly woman, whose days are numbered, is now forced to stand before her beloved grandson and fight to the death with her only remaining relative.

Hinata didn't know what kind of belief Chiyo was holding when she stood there, nor could she say whether that belief was great enough, but that didn't diminish Hinata's admiration for Chiyo.

Everyone has different values.

Hinata believes that even though Sasori of the Red Sands has done so many evil things, and even once destroyed a small country with the Hundred Puppets Performance, Chiyo has never actually resented her grandson.

She still loves him very much.

However, Chiyo's love for Sunagakure clearly surpassed her love for her grandson.

Having lived in this world for fifteen years, Hinata has witnessed countless tragedies: Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi ... Among the four members of Team 7, Hinata is probably the happiest one.

However, none of these tragedies are as profound as this one.

Chiyo and Sasori... It was this flawed world, this world whose rules were not yet perfect, that brewed this tragedy.

Stepping out of the cave, the warm sunshine made Hinata feel a little better.

Stopping her worries, Hinata ran towards Orochimaru's location.

"Mr. Orochimaru, shall we have a fight now?"

Although they were far from the cave, Hinata felt that she and Orochimaru should at least put on a show, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Konoha and Akatsuki.

"There's absolutely no need for that, Hinata!"

Orochimaru gave a 'kind' smile, but the smile was a little eerie... Hinata had a feeling that he was about to ambush her.

"Once the battle over there is over, we can leave this place!"

Hinata thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright then!"

"But... what am I supposed to say when I get back to the village?"

Hinata scratched her head and earnestly asked, "I can't exactly say, 'We've agreed not to fight,' can I?"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice said with a hint of amusement, "Of course you can say that."

In fact, Orochimaru did not want to go to war with Hinata, because if Orochimaru fought with all his might, he would have to expose the truth of 'Impure World Reincarnation'... He simply could not control six Kage Level powerhouses at their peak.

After the Sand Village Collapse Plan, the Shinobi World's fear of Orochimaru had reached its peak.

Once the truth about 'Impure World Reincarnation' is discovered by the Shinobi World, the first person to kill Orochimaru will probably be Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki.

The current deterrent effect is just right; the Five Great Shinobi Villages haven't attempted to find Orochimaru's whereabouts for a long time. In fact, most ninjas would immediately abandon their mission and retreat at the mere mention of Orochimaru's name.

This was a treatment Orochimaru had never received before.

Orochimaru's spare body is ready, and in a few months, he will be able to switch to that usable body.

Before this, Orochimaru didn't want to reveal the Impure World Reincarnation.

Orochimaru explained, "Tsunade will understand. There's absolutely no need for us to go to war over such a trivial matter."

Is that so?

Hinata scratched her head, feeling that Orochimaru was just trying to fool her.

What exactly went wrong?

In fact, since the Sand Village Collapse Plan, Orochimaru's prestige in the Shinobi World has even surpassed that of the Akatsuki leader, who possesses the Rinnegan.

To avoid angering Orochimaru and bringing powerful enemies to their village, most ninjas would abandon their mission and retreat upon hearing the name 'Orochimaru'.

In the previous cave, Orochimaru only slightly threatened Kakashi, and Kakashi immediately abandoned Hinata, a powerful fighting force, and let Hinata go out with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is different now than he used to be.

Even a powerful place like Konoha fears Orochimaru's revenge.

But coincidentally, Hinata is not among this 'vast majority'.

Therefore, Hinata simply cannot understand that Orochimaru is using her previous help to intimidate people in the Shinobi World.

"So what do we need to do now?"

Hinata asked curiously, "Are we just going to chat and enjoy the scenery here?"

Orochimaru flicked his sleeve, and a small purple snake landed on the ground and crawled towards the cave.

"Let's guess, between Sasori and your Konoha side... who will survive to the end?"

Hinata's eyes lit up at the suggestion, and she looked at Orochimaru with great interest, saying, "Orochimaru, shall we make a bet? I bet Konoha will win, let's bet a billion!"

Orochimaru's lips twitched, and he automatically ignored the topic.

If Orochimaru loses the bet, he will be burdened with a heavy debt. But if he wins, he will have to worry about Hinata killing him to silence him.

Orochimaru was rather curious about Hinata's confidence.

"Hinata, how can you be so sure that your side will win?"

"Shall we bet?"

"Never mind, we were just chatting!"

"Coward!"

Orochimaru: "..."

Hinata immediately lost interest when Orochimaru refused to make the bet with her.

As for Orochimaru's problem...

Based solely on past intelligence analysis, Chiyo is already old, Kakashi is severely lacking in chakra and can only rely on his Sharingan to keep going, and Naruto wouldn't even be qualified to fight Sasori of the Red Sands if he didn't unleash the Nine-Tails.

Although it's a three-on-one situation, Sasori of the Red Sands has a higher probability of winning no matter how you look at it.

However, Sasori of the Red Sands, that loser, was defeated by Sakura, the female lead, let alone Naruto, the main character of Hokage, who is present this time.
