The Latest Situation in the Shinobi World
"Wow~ I'm finally back~"
After wandering around the Shinobi World and returning to the Hyuga residence, Hinata couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and change.
To be honest, I've only been out for a few hours this time.
First, he went to Kumogakure to watch the Pain invasion; then he captured Urashiki alive and transformed Urashiki into Chakra Fruit; finally, he destroyed Ryūchi Cave and planted the God Tree.
However, in just a few short hours, Hinata not only greatly improved her strength, but also found her path to the future, which is very promising.
Of course, more importantly, through searching Urashiki's memories, Hinata has gained a general understanding of the strength of the Otsutsuki clan.
"Luckily it's still early!"
Hinata couldn't help but feel fortunate.
If Hinata had followed her original plan to go after Kaguya Otsutsuki was resurrected and then directly cause trouble for the Otsutsuki clan, she probably wouldn't even know how she died.
The power of this clan is truly terrifying!
As a family that has dominated the universe for countless years, even after several rebellions, their strength is still not to be underestimated.
Urashiki was probably equivalent to an Elite Chunin Konoha within the Otsutsuki clan.
As for Kaguya's strength...
If I had to use a metaphor, it would be roughly equivalent to Kakashi's position in Konoha.
She is very strong, but there are many people stronger than Kaguya.
"To be serious..."
Hinata suddenly remembered something Future Sasuke.
According to the storyline of another timeline, Hinata should have traveled to space with Kaguya Otsutsuki after Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection.
However, just a few years later, Hinata that timeline returned on her own.
Hinata guessed at the time that her purpose in returning to the Shinobi World was to obtain the Ten-Tails inside Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Although the plot has changed a lot, some things are impossible to change.
For example... power level settings!
"Could it be... that I in that timeline really did run into a wall in the universe?"
"Should I stay in the Shinobi World for a few thousand years before going out?"
To be honest, if Hinata could transform Isshiki Otsutsuki into Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Chakra Fruit and then gain power from the God Tree, then both of Hinata's Tenseigan could reach the level of the eye she had Tenseigan Chamber.
Furthermore, with the leap in his own life level, Urashiki's time manipulation ability will also evolve.
"Only..."
"Where exactly is that guy, Isshiki, hiding?"
Hinata frowned slightly.
"According to intelligence, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Kaguya Otsutsuki came to the Ninja World together, but for some reason they separated."
"Well!"
Hinata suddenly sighed softly.
Isshiki is different from Kaguya. Kaguya was sealed for a thousand years, and in the Original Story, she was still a bit slow-witted after being resurrected, which is why Naruto and Sasuke were able to seal her together.
But the Isshiki wasn't sealed!
With Isshiki second Ten-Tails, Isshiki's strength is definitely no less than Kaguya's.
Moreover, Isshiki's mind is definitely not as dull as Kaguya's, and he may have some combat experience.
"I probably can't beat them!"
Hinata suddenly felt a little insecure; she and Isshiki were worlds apart in terms of their life levels.
This difference is roughly the difference between a regular Jiraiya and a Sage Jiraiya; it's something that combat experience simply can't compensate for.
Hinata at home, wallowing in self-pity, while the Shinobi World was in turmoil these past few days.
In just a few days, two villages were destroyed by the Akatsuki.
Kumogakure!
Takigakure!
Pain, the leader of the Pain Akatsuki, personally attacked Kumogakure from the front, not only killing the Fourth Raikage but also capturing Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B.
When Pain retreated, Kumogakure was in ruins, with more than 5,000 ninja casualties and most of its high-end combat force wiped out.
And this was only because Pain showed mercy.
If Pain were to unleash a "Super Shinra Tensei" over Kumogakure, just like he did when he attacked Konoha in the Original Story, probably very few people in Kumogakure would survive.
Following Sunagakure, Kumogakure became the second ninja village to be severely damaged by the Akatsuki.
After this battle, the Kumogakure's fighting strength was greatly reduced, making it even weaker than the Sunagakure, and it became the weakest of the Five Great Shinobi.
As for Takigakure ...
Konoha dispatched a Jonin team led by Kakashi to Takigakure to negotiate, hoping that Takigakure would transfer the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to be jointly protected by Konoha and Takigakure.
However, this concerns the Tailed Beasts, which are the strongest weapons of war in Takigakure. Although Konoha claims to be acting in the best interests of the entire White Fang Shinobi World, it's not that simple to expect Takigakure to transfer the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha just by talking.
Just as the negotiations reached a stalemate, the Akatsuki launched their attack.
The Eight-Tails was dealt with by Pain himself, while the Nine-Tails was in Orochimaru's hands.
For the Akatsuki, the Seven-Tails was the last Tailed Beasts.
In this battle, the Akatsuki mobilized almost half of its forces!
With the strength of Takigakure, even with the addition of Kakashi and a few other Jonin, how could they possibly be a match for the Akatsuki?
When Kakashi and the others were brought back by the Konoha Anbu yesterday, they were practically on the verge of death.
If Hinata and Tsunade hadn't worked together to heal him, even if he had miraculously survived this time, he probably would have had to say goodbye to the ninja profession forever.
Compared to Kumogakure, the situation in Takigakure was far more dire.
At this point, the Akatsuki only needed the last Nine-Tails to complete its collection of Nine Tailed Beasts.
The plan went very smoothly, even more smoothly than expected.
As the last Jinchuriki, Naruto became someone the entire Shinobi World had to protect.
In order to unite the entire Shinobi World in order to fight against the Akatsuki, Tsunade sent messages to several major Shinobi Village and the Land of Iron, preparing to hold the Five Kage Summit in Konoha, and also to protect Naruto.
To everyone, Naruto was the Akatsuki's ultimate target, and the Akatsuki would inevitably gather all its forces to invade Konoha.
This battle was inevitable.
As a result, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure all agreed to form an alliance, and they did not hesitate much even though the Five Kage Summit was to be held in Konoha.
Although Sunagakure also agreed to the alliance, it only had the strength of Gaara's faction.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Hyuga Clan, the high-ranking members of Sunagakure seem to have backed down and dare not confront the Akatsuki.
Some even said that since Sunagakure no longer has Tailed Beasts, if Akatsuki were to unify the Shinobi World, they would submit to Akatsuki.
In this way, the living strength of Sunagakure can be preserved.
Those villages that attempted to oppose the Akatsuki would naturally suffer heavy losses in the battle.
Perhaps after the great war ends, Sunagakure will become the strongest ninja village in the ninja Shinobi World, under the Akatsuki!
In short, compared to the united Konoha and Kirigakure, and compared to the Hidden Cloud Village, which was determined to take revenge on the Akatsuki, the Sunagakure was truly a complete mess.
On the contrary, it was Iwagakure.
Although Iwagakure also lost its Tailed Beasts, its own fighting strength was not greatly diminished.
That guy Ōnoki ...
