Hinata Hyuga Was a Sensible Person
"You are my little apple, I can never love you enough (づ ̄3 ̄)づ"
Hinata was clearly in a very good mood upon returning to Konoha.
This was a very successful trip. The matter between Sasuke and Itachi was settled, and Hinata took the opportunity on her way back to contact Sasuke and explain her request.
Itachi Uchiha was known as a genius of Genjutsu, and his achievements in Genjutsu were the strongest in the Shinobi World at that time.
Leaving aside ordinary Genjutsu, Itachi Uchiha was aware of the existence of Izanagi and Izanami. Over the years, his understanding of Tsukuyomi had reached an extremely high level. Furthermore, after Sasuke received his eye transplant, Itachi Uchiha would be able to use Shisui's eyes and would have some understanding of Kotoamatsukami.
Hinata has done such a great favor for the Uchiha brothers, so it's not unreasonable for her to learn some genjutsu, right?
As for Sasuke, Hinata had also made clear arrangements for him.
Hinata originally wanted to win Sasuke over, but Sasuke was determined to revitalize the Uchiha and did not want to be a vassal of the Hyuga clan, so he decided to forge his own path.
Hinata, of course, did her best to cooperate, and even put on a good show of fighting each other with Sasuke.
However, after this incident, Sasuke obviously could no longer go back to Obito's Obito.
However, Sasuke and outgunned, so his only way to obtain information was through Hinata.
Hinata then explained the secrets of the Nine-Tails Chakra to Sasuke, urging Sasuke a little stubborn and find an opportunity to infiltrate the Akatsuki and seize the Tailed Beasts's chakra.
In the coming period, Sasuke's strength will enter a phase of rapid development.
Hinata plans to find time to leave Konoha and engage in a high-intensity battle with Sasuke, so that Sasuke can quickly master the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and then help Sasuke awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
After mastering the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he directly fused with Hashirama Cells to awaken the Rinnegan.
Sasuke's eyes are from the same source as Kaguya Otsutsuki's, and even if they contain some of Urashiki's power, it doesn't matter.
Using the Dojutsu power of the Rinnegan, Sasuke might be able to wrest control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from Nagato and easily seize the chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts.
In fact, Hinata, like Sasuke, even though she absorbed Urashiki's chakra, her most fundamental power is the same as Kaguya Otsutsuki's.
Unfortunately, Tenseigan couldn't control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path Hinata, so she had to Sasuke with the Tailed Beast Chakra.
With Black Zetsu and Sasuke double protection, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Back at the Hyuga residence, Hinata made no secret of what had happened and told Hyuga Hiashi about what had occurred during her trip, asking the cunning old man to analyze whether there were any loopholes in her story.
To be honest, Hinata actually admires Hyuga Hiashi.
The period when the Third was in power coincided with the extinction of Kekkei Genkai clan. Hyuga Hiashi was able to lead the entire Hyuga clan through that dark period, which speaks volumes about his abilities.
In fact, the destruction of the Kekkei Genkai clan was Black Zetsu's fault. But even if Black Zetsu manipulated people's hearts, it was because people's hearts had a dark side that they were manipulated by Black Zetsu.
Of course, as a sensible person, Hinata wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this.
The human heart inherently possesses both darkness and light; this is something no one can avoid.
Good and evil lie within oneself; survival and destruction depend on means and abilities.
Hinata, standing from the perspective of the victim and the weak, criticized the Third Hokage in front of Itachi Uchiha, which is also a tactic.
A truly shrewd and powerful boss always represents justice, while those who boast of their strength and act arrogantly, standing against the people, never meet a good end.
Hinata is a very sensible person!
After listening to Hinata recount the details of the mission, Hyuga Hiashi reviewed it in his mind several times before nodding and saying, "Well done! In this way, with multiple checks and balances, our Hyuga Clan can remain hidden in the shadows and no longer attract so much attention!"
Hinata: "???"
Hinata completely disagreed with Hyuga Hiashi's words. "How could I possibly be low-key when I'm so dazzling?"
Seeing Hinata's unconvinced expression, Hyuga Hiashi simply said, "Of course, that doesn't include you!"
Before the Akatsuki's full-scale operations, Hinata and the Hyuga Clan were indeed the focus of the entire Shinobi World. It was only because of Hinata's strength that no one dared to act. Furthermore, the Hyuga Clan possessed the 'Caged Bird' Cursed Seal, which was completely ineffective against the branch family ninjas.
Now that the Akatsuki has launched an operation to capture the Tailed Beasts, although Hinata is still as dazzling and beautiful as ever, the Hyuga Clan has gradually faded from people's sight.
Now that the probing exchanges among the powerful figures have ended, a consensus will be maintained for a considerable period. The Akatsuki will continue to capture the Tailed Beasts, but the mastermind behind them will not take any further action.
As for the next confrontation, it will be when the Akatsuki is about to gather Tailed Beasts!
"That's right!"
Hinata asked, "How is the clan's training going?"
Hyuga Hiashi replied, "The progress is not bad. Currently, most of the clansmen are stuck on sensing Natural Energy. After all, it requires calmness, and adults' minds are too cluttered!"
"Besides, this place isn't suitable for cultivating Sage Mode!"
Hinata nodded slightly. It didn't matter if progress was slow, as long as there was hope!
Once they achieve Sage Mode and can control Natural Energy, Hinata can help them place Yin-Yang Seal within their bodies to store Natural Energy, thus beginning their formal cultivation journey.
With the Yin-Yang Seal, it's equivalent to living in an environment like the Three Great Sage Regions at all times.
As long as the clansmen cultivate diligently, they may not be able to reach the Six Paths level, but the Transcendent Kage Level is not impossible.
Moreover, with Natural Energy to replenish it, even if one cannot live for more than a thousand years like the Toad Sage, one can at least extend one's lifespan by several hundred years.
That's enough for a family!
As for even greater power... we'll have to wait until Hinata reaches an even higher level.
Hinata wants to live comfortably, she must have absolute superiority over her clansmen in terms of strength. Her future development will be based on survivability, and she will only deal with enemies that her clansmen can defeat, letting them fight in the front lines!
Just like Hinata's investment in Sasuke, Hinata invests first, and then waits for the returns once Sasuke's strength improves!
Hinata secretly calculated in her mind, and after feeling that there were no problems, she said goodbye to Hyuga Hiashi and prepared to take a bath, eat, and sleep.
"Hinata!"
Hyuga Hiashi suddenly called out to Hinata, paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Although our plan is going smoothly so far, the more so, the more mysterious the existence of the Three Great Sage Regions becomes."
The Hyuga Clan only needed to eat some pills made from snake meat to significantly improve their physical condition, and the original Special Jonin and Jonin successively reached the strength of a kage.
Once they learn Sage Mode, these clansmen's strength will inevitably experience a qualitative leap.
However, the Three Great Sage Regions... have existed for over a thousand years!
"I know!"
Hinata turned to look at Hyuga Hiashi and chuckled, "However, I think there are still some differences between humans and animals!"
