Orochimaru, What a Pleasant Collaboration!

Alright! Now is not the time for jokes!

Hinata had already 'seen' the situation in the cave long before she teleported there.

Minato Namikaze has been resurrected, and the Nine-Tails is about to be sealed. Hinata must also make preparations immediately.

Um...

Although Hinata already possesses the Ten-Tails' chakra, Hinata will never have too much of this kind of good stuff.

Good things are always better the more you have.

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

Hinata slapped Sasuke hard on the shoulder. "You wait for my instructions. Once I've taken control of Nagato, you immediately seize control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... Understand?"

Two... Uchiha Sasuke?

Sasuke's lips twitched, and his right hand touched the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword, pondering how to give Hinata a hard blow.

Hinata glanced at Sasuke with disdain.

You?

"Knew!"

Sasuke snorted coldly, deciding to write this down in his notebook, just like Hinata before.

If we can't beat them now, we'll wait until we can before seeking revenge.

This is the driving force behind growth!

Hmm... what nickname should I give Hinata?

Big Chick?

Hinata shuts down her Six-Tomoe Rinnegan and uses her Tenseigan to connect to Artificial Satellite to monitor the cave.

"Um..."

"We need to make some preparations on our side too!"

Hinata pinched her chin with her index finger and thumb, looking thoughtful. "Nagato's true form isn't here, nor is it in Amegakure..."

Sasuke: You've finally remembered the important matter?

"Here, take this!"

Sasuke took a folded piece of paper from his ninja tool pouch and handed it to Hinata, explaining, "Orochimaru asked me to give this to you."

Hinata looked on with suspicion, took the note, and opened it...

Oh! So that's where Nagato is!

Hmm, it seems Orochimaru is reliable after all. This subordinate wasn't a waste of his talent; he can be entrusted with more important tasks in the future.

"If only I had known..."

Hinata looked utterly annoyed!

I should have sent Orochimaru to seduce Konan; after all, middle-aged men can be quite charming.

On the contrary, Itachi Uchiha, being so young, was still too young and immature for Konan!

Akatsuki's funds! Just like that, gone!

Hinata has a big plan in the future!

Hinata has now planted the God Tree in Ryūchi Cave. Next, Hinata plans to buy a large amount of metal and bury it underground near the God Tree to cultivate Chakra Metal.

If Hinata had a large amount of Chakra Metal, Hinata could build a real spaceship!

Some might ask: Hinata has already learned Yomotsu Hirasaka, so why is she still fixated on space battleships?

Yomotsu Hirasaka is one thing, but Hinata always felt that using Space-time ninjutsu was too low-level.

Hinata then plans to use chakra as an energy source to develop technology on a large scale.

In other words, from now on, any place that can be monitored by Artificial Satellite will be Lady Hinata's territory.

As for the space battleship... Hinata plans to use a God Tree as an infinite energy source, and take the Tenseigan from the Tenseigan Chamber to use as a planet-destroying cannon.

In the future, when we go out to fight, we can just fly a spaceship and use the 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' as a space jump technology to teleport directly to someone else's doorstep.

You disagree?

Come on, this move is called Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, it can split a planet in two!

This is the proper procession for the Empress Lady Hinata!

What kind of thing is it to go out on two legs?

Are you going on an incognito visit?

Once the empire is established, we'll appoint Orochimaru as our Technology Advisor, Kakuzu as our Finance Minister, and Sasuke as our Great General!

Kaguya Otsutsuki was directly recruited into the harem!

"Why didn't you know sooner?"

Sasuke's lips twitched.

Hinata was perfectly fine a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, her thoughts drifted, a silver smile appeared on Hinata face, and she looked like she was plotting something, almost drooling.

What is this supposed to mean by "wishful thinking"?

"Cough cough!"

Hinata coughed lightly to bring herself to her senses. "Now that we know Nagato's location, just wait for my good news!"

Sasuke said expressionlessly, "Before we take action, we need to find a way to notify Orochimaru."

"Because you're late..."

Hinata glared at her coldly and asked, "Hmm?"

Sasuke thought to himself, "In short, Orochimaru hasn't summoned Madara Uchiha yet. So we must inform Orochimaru before we take action!"

"What!?"

Hinata's expression was grim. "Orochimaru... isn't he just making things worse?"

Sasuke explained, "Madara is different from others. He is the key to completing the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan. Once he is summoned, he must be resurrected in his full state."

"Furthermore... Orochimaru cannot control Madara's actions!"

Oh, Hinata!

If Madara Uchiha is summoned beforehand and his actions are not restricted, not only will it cause harm, but it may also allow Madara to discover Black Zetsu's true plan.

After all, with Hinata involved, many things are different from the Original Story.

Just like Obito Nagato, Black Zetsu also had to create the illusion for Madara Uchiha that 'you are invincible'.

Therefore, Hinata must never reveal her true strength in front of Madara Uchiha.

"I understand!"

Hinata nodded. "Leave the contacting Orochimaru to me!"

Sasuke cautioned, "Pain does possess the Rinnegan, after all. Your technique... won't he discover it?"

"Cut!"

Hinata gave Sasuke a disdainful look, then dialed Orochimaru's number via Artificial Satellite.

Well... the phone call was mandatory and one-sided.

"Orochimaru, I'm here!"

Inside the cave, Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at Pain subtly. Seeing that Pain hadn't noticed anything amiss, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, Orochimaru silently thought to himself, "Hinata?"

"Yes! It's me!" Hinata nodded.

Orochimaru: Don't you feel ashamed?

You overslept for such an important plan!

Hinata: If it's a new server opening in the game and I need to level up quickly, then I can definitely wake up. As for serious matters... heh! Forget about it!

After a silent exchange, Orochimaru thought to himself, "Once you control Nagato, you should also be able to control Pain through Nagato."

"Although Konan isn't exactly a problem, it's still better to resolve it!"

Hinata retorted, "I won't do it!"

Orochimaru: "???"

"Orochimaru, I'm entrusting Konan to you!" Hinata entrusted her with this important task.

Inside the cave, Orochimaru unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the area. Although Paper Release wasn't particularly powerful, it was still unique in the Shinobi World.

"Great! Perfect, they can be used as test subjects for the next phase!"

Hinata: "???"

"Orochimaru, what are you thinking about?"

Hinata said with exasperation, "What I mean is, since you're single anyway, Konan is a great beauty, you're in charge of taking care of her for the rest of her life!"

"After today, the Akatsuki will be destroyed!"

"You get the beauties, and I get the Akatsuki's funds. Neither of us loses out. That's true, a pleasant cooperation!"

Cooperation... pleasant... you son of a bitch!

Orochimaru's eye twitched, almost revealing something was wrong.

Pain looked at Orochimaru with great surprise.

Konan also felt a chill run through her body, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today!
