Why Are You All So Underhanded?

Orochimaru spread his hands and said in an extremely confident tone, "Now that we know the source of Chakra, it is not difficult to steal the source of all of this."

"The Otsutsuki clan isn't invincible... is it?"

Orochimaru's intelligence is still somewhat lacking. Kaguya and Urashiki are different; immortality is not something that can be easily dealt with.

"Do you have a way to kill the Tailed Beasts?"

Hinata glanced at Orochimaru and said disdainfully, "Tailed Beasts are immortal, and so is the person we're dealing with. Even if we have a way to destroy their body, they can still revive after a while."

Orochimaru's face flashed with shock. "There's such a thing?"

However, after the initial shock, a surge of elation instantly welled up in Orochimaru's heart.

For someone seeking immortality, the greatest fear is that 'immortality' simply doesn't exist. Or perhaps, even if lifespan could be extended, they would still be killed by someone stronger.

However, Hinata's information was tantamount to telling Orochimaru that not only does immortality exist, but so does immortality.

Even if killed, they can still be resurrected.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is indeed immortal; for her, the energy required to maintain life is equal to the energy she absorbs daily.

As long as Natural Energy exists in this world, Kaguya Otsutsuki will never die.

Perhaps the only way to kill her is to destroy her will and shatter her soul... but Hinata doesn't have that ability right now.

"Certainly!"

Hinata nodded and said, "Precisely because her will still exists, if we rashly absorb her power, the final outcome will probably be very tragic..."

"However... perhaps it's not impossible!"

Hinata suddenly thought of something else.

In fact, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki isn't too risky. As long as Black Zetsu doesn't ambush you and awaken Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, Kaguya's will will never come.

The Sage of Six Paths was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, which shows that Kaguya Otsutsuki did not have the ability to be directly resurrected.

If Madara Uchiha hadn't been ambushed by Black Zetsu, he probably would have become the second Sage of Six Paths.

However, Hinata already has a complete plan for increasing her power. Unless she can steal Kaguya's God Tree and merge with God Tree, Hinata has no interest in becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki cannot live forever!" Hinata reminded her.

"However, if we have the ability to remove the God Tree from Urashiki's body, perhaps we could give it a try..."

Orochimaru turned to Urashiki, "I've studied the energy within Urashiki's body. That energy is the same as the container Pain used to seal the Tailed Beasts. Since the Rinnegan can..."

"No!"

Hinata interrupted, "The container that seals the Nine-Tails is called the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which is the true form of the God Tree. But Kaguya's will resides within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, waiting to be awakened!"

Hinata speculates that Kaguya's will had already descended upon the Shinobi World after Nagato summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from the moon.

Because Kaguya's will has already merged with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it just hasn't awakened yet.

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Through this exchange with Hinata, Orochimaru obtained extremely important information.

The Otsutsuki clan does not obtain power in the form of Jinchuriki, but rather merges with the power itself.

However, Orochimaru is far from being able to interpret these things from Urashiki's perspective.

Don't overthink it!

Hinata advised, "The only thing we can do now is to continue with the original plan. If we rashly change the plan, we may waste even more time."

Orochimaru replied noncommittally, "That's hard to say."

"At least... after listening to what you've said, I have some ideas, but I still need to conduct experiments to prove them."

Hinata didn't say anything more. Letting Orochimaru continue his experiments was fine; perhaps he would make new discoveries.

If we could find a way to completely kill Kaguya, that would be the best outcome.

After bidding farewell to Orochimaru, Hinata activate All-Knowing, All-Powerful and returned to the Hyuga residence.

The Wood Clone was still training with Naruto in the Back Mountain of Konoha, Hinata could only go to Hyuga Hiashi to talk about Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is clearly coveting the power of the Ten-Tails, but the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki cannot live forever; the Sage of Six Paths' death from old age is proof of this.

However, if Orochimaru can figure out a way to detach the God Tree, he could slightly change his plans.

Hinata?

Hiashi Hyuga was slightly taken aback Hyuga Hiashi he saw Hinata; he was dealing with some of his clan's business in the Land of Fire.

The Shinobi World is about to descend into chaos, and the Hyuga Clan has a new future, so its future development will naturally require a complete overhaul.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Hyuga Hiashi concern.

Hinata briefly explained Orochimaru's thoughts.

Currently, Hinata, Sasuke, Orochimaru Black Zetsu, and Orochimaru share the same goal: to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki and obtain a way to increase their power.

Obito was unaware of Kaguya Otsutsuki's existence, Nagato was unaware of the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan.

However, each of Hinata, Sasuke, Black Zetsu, Orochimaru has different ideas.

Seemingly aligned interests can very well change at the last minute.

After hearing Hinata's confusion, Hyuga Hiashi didn't seem to care much.

"If you can see the situation inside Konoha clearly, you should know that this kind of thing is inevitable."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "Even if all the ninjas in Konoha are wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha, there are still interest groups such as the Hokage faction, Danzo faction, and ninja clan faction before that."

"Because everyone has different beliefs, even those who are in the same boat for Konoha can scheme against each other and even try to kill one another."

After a pause, Hyuga Hiashi continued, "If even a small Konoha like Konoha is like this, how much more so when it comes to pursuing something as important as immortality."

Hinata, don't trust anyone!

Hyuga Hiashi said solemnly, "Even if it's Sasuke!"

"Even if you can help each other without any animosity now, once your ideas clash, you will still turn against each other one day."

Hinata nodded in agreement.

Thinking of the final battle Naruto and Sasuke in the Original Story, Hinata could imagine what kind of consequences would result when their beliefs clashed.

Hinata also felt that she had been quite naive before, actually thinking that if she was determined to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu was someone she could completely trust.

Seeing Hinata's expression, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly changed his tone and continued, "Of course, as your father, Hinata... you can completely trust me."

"Actually, you've done very well before. I was originally planning to talk to you about it later..."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "To gain someone's trust, you must first give them your own."

"Hinata, your previous performance should have completely earned the trust of Black Zetsu and Sasuke, right?"

Hinata: "..."

Why do I always feel that you people are all so gloomy?
