A Classic Villain Must Have Classic Lines

Just how terrifying is the life force containing the power of Yang Release?

Let Hinata Hyuga tell you all about it.

Gaara died, Chiyo revived Gaara using her life force; Might Guy almost died after opening the Eight Gates, but Naruto saved Might Guy by simply touching him; Kakashi had his Sharingan gouged out by Madara Uchiha, but Naruto again touched him lightly and instantly created an eye using Kakashi's cells.

Moreover, the power of White Zetsu is the same as the Wood Release of Hashirama Senju. Anyone in the Shinobi World who is missing an arm or leg can be instantly restored by placing White Zetsu on their body.

This is vitality!

Is the illness terminal? Or is the body being overtaxed?

Don't panic, let me touch you, I guarantee you'll be fully healed.

And so Hinata healed Itachi Uchiha!

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the voice, Hinata said calmly, "You're awake?"

Itachi Uchiha opened his eyes weakly and turned his head slightly to see Hinata standing at the entrance of the cave.

Hinata stood with her back to Itachi Uchiha, her hands behind her back, her gaze piercing through the dissipating clouds as she looked up at the sky. A ray of golden sunlight shone on Hinata, illuminating Hinata in the darkness.

What a sight of a hermit living in seclusion!

A light drizzle drifted into the cave from the entrance, and out of Itachi Uchiha's sight, Hinata's front was already soaked with rain.

"Damn it, even being a reclusive master isn't easy to fake!"

Hinata cursed inwardly, "If I pretend to be a hermit again next time, Naruto and Sasuke will never find wives!"

Itachi Uchiha said softly, "It's windy at the entrance, come in!"

Hinata: "..."

I want to go in too, but I can't!

Hinata can continue to pretend to be a hermit sage if Itachi Uchiha shows her back, but once Hinata turns around... well, her hermit sage image will immediately collapse!

I, Hinata Hyuga, am the noble lady of the Hyuga Clan. How can I let people see my pathetic side?

"How are you feeling?" Hinata asked softly.

Itachi Uchiha sat up, but was still somewhat weak. He looked at Hinata gratefully and said, "Thank you!"

Hinata nodded slightly, and her ethereal voice continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll have Sasuke come over. You two probably still have a lot to talk about!"

"Wait a moment!"

Itachi Uchiha's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Hinata's retreating figure and said, "Hinata, you..."

Taking a deep breath, Itachi Uchiha said in a solemn voice, "Although I am not qualified to interfere in your affairs, there is one thing that I must ask you clearly as Itachi Uchiha of Konoha!"

Itachi Uchiha was a double agent who had witnessed too much darkness over the years.

Although Itachi Uchiha and Hinata had always been like close friends, occasionally exchanging heart-to-heart talks, Itachi Uchiha also knew that Hinata and the Hinata Hyuga Clan behind her were showing signs of betraying Konoha.

Hinata can contact Itachi Uchiha, but she has never informed Konoha. Furthermore, given what happened today, it's clear that Hinata acted behind Konoha's back.

Everything Hinata did, including saving Itachi Uchiha, was to utilize Sasuke's power!

Itachi Uchiha saw this very clearly!

That's why, even though Hinata saved Itachi's life, Itachi, as Sasuke's older brother and a Konoha ninja, still had to ask her about it.

As for what happened next... Itachi Uchiha didn't want to get involved, nor did he have the right to do so.

But this didn't stop Itachi Uchiha from wanting to know some things and, incidentally, to give Hinata a piece of his mind.

"From Konoha? Itachi Uchiha?"

Hinata's mind raced, recalling some arrogant lines. Her tone was playful. "The old era has ended, and a new era is beginning. Everyone must learn to survive in this new era!"

"In the more than sixty years since the founding of Konoha, the Senju Clan has declined, the Uzumaki Clan has been destroyed, and the Ice Release and Shikotsumyaku have also been wiped out, until you, the Uchiha..."

"For more than sixty years, only Hyuga has remained prosperous."

"The Ninja World's Number One Noble Family... that's not just a casual saying!"

Hinata lived in Konoha for fifteen years and also investigated the whereabouts of the Senju Clan.

The Senju Clan has indeed declined, but it has not been wiped out.

During the First and Second Shinobi War First Shinobi War, the Senju Clan was targeted by the entire Shinobi World, resulting in the loss of a large number of its core members. After the death of Senju Nawaki, the entire Senju Clan went from the open to the shadows, either leaving Konoha to live in seclusion or living as ordinary civilian shinobi in Konoha under assumed names.

Moegi Kazamatsuri of the Konohamaru Corps possesses the power of Wood Release!

However, the once glorious Senju Clan eventually declined and never regained its former power.

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were somewhat glazed over.

Itachi Uchiha could completely understand what Hinata was saying.

The power of Kekkei Genkai can indeed arouse the jealousy of all non-bloodline limit ninjas. Others may not be able to become strong even after hard training, but bloodline limit ninjas can become powerful immediately simply by activating their Kekkei Genkai.

The Uchiha was once synonymous with genius.

Even Obito Uchiha, who was known as the 'bottom of the class,' was merely the bottom of the Uchiha clan. Before even enrolling, Obito Uchiha could already use the Great Fireball Jutsu.

With such a powerful force and a large population, it is only natural that they would be targeted by various parties.

In particular, the Ninja Academy trained a large number of commoner ninjas. As a large number of commoner ninjas rose to prominence, the lives of Kekkei Genkai clan naturally became increasingly difficult.

Itachi Uchiha, who personally experienced and even participated in the Uchiha Clan Extermination, knows how much darkness was involved.

If he had no other choice, Itachi Uchiha would not have personally slaughtered his entire clan.

Amaterasu represents destruction, Tsukuyomi represents a false world; the inner thoughts of Itachi Uchiha when he awakened his Sharingan are already clearly revealed.

Today's Itachi Uchiha is simply using his strong will to control his inner desires.

Before Itachi Uchiha could speak, Hinata continued, "I've seen many Uzumaki Clan wandering the Shinobi World, Kunai and destitute..."

"As a former ally of the Uzumaki Clan, after the Uzumaki Clan was destroyed, Konoha only brought back Kushina Uzumaki as a new Jinchuriki, but turned a blind eye to the Uzumaki Clan who were wandering the Shinobi World."

"We, the Hyuga, do not wish to end up like this!"

Itachi Uchiha stared at Hinata figure in silence for a long time. Everyone makes different choices, and naturally, their stances will also differ.

He couldn't persuade Hinata of anything.

After a long silence, Itachi Uchiha asked slowly, "Is this your choice?"

Hinata said calmly, "Since a choice has already been made, why ask why?"

Trying to read my mind will only be futile; a wise person doesn't keep secrets to themselves!

Itachi Uchiha: "..."

"The village may indeed have a lot of darkness, but as Konoha ninjas, we should strive to make the village a better place, not let it fall into darkness!"

Hinata turned her head slightly upon hearing this.

"Many people are controlled by fate, but I... control fate!"

Hinata: That feels so good! I finally said it!

As the mastermind behind the Shinobi World, Hinata felt she had to make a statement that would shake the entire Shinobi World.
