Hinata: I'm Actually the Hope of the Entire Village

Konoha, Hyuga residence.

As Hinata watched the departing figures of the Anbu, a strange expression appeared on her face.

In the Land of Rain, Sasuke and Madara are locked in a fierce battle. Once this battle ends, Madara can immediately become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Um... the time is tonight.

And what about the Five Great Shinobi Villages?

Even if they immediately formed Allied Shinobi Forces to attack, it would be too late. At this critical moment, the Five Great Shinobi Villages actually wanted to gather intelligence first.

"But that's normal. According to procedure, gathering intelligence before taking action is the way of the ninjas!"

It's often said that it's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates.

The Akatsuki were definitely a god-level opponent, while the Five Great Shinobi Villages were indeed incompetent teammates.

Hinata's strength was indispensable in infiltrating the Akatsuki to gather intelligence, and even Jiraiya was in the team for this operation.

The Five Great Shinobi Villages distrusted each other, and in order to gather more information, they organized a total of five small teams.

On Konoha's side, there were only Hinata, Jiraiya, and Kakashi.

"Hmm..."

Hinata was somewhat troubled.

Will this Wood Clone be discovered?

Although the Wood Clone look almost identical to the real body, the clones cannot extract Chakra.

The amount of Chakra consumed is the amount available.

If they flew over with Kakashi and Jiraiya, even if it looked exactly like the real body, it would still reveal its flaws.

After getting dressed, Hinata ran towards the Hokage Building.

"Actually... now that things have progressed this far, whether it's exposed or not is no longer important."

Hinata possesses the power to destroy the entire Shinobi World on her own. If it weren't for some past friendships, she wouldn't want to live a lonely life. So what if she Hyuga the entire Hyuga clan to betray Konoha?

'Squeak--'

Hinata pushed open the office door and looked around.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune, Kakashi were all there; it seemed I was the last one to arrive.

"Just gather intelligence and set off. Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Hinata asked curiously.

The four people in the office turned to look at Hinata at the same time.

Tsunade said in a solemn tone, "This time is different from the past. I have a bad feeling about this."

Your hunch was right!

Hinata stood next to Kakashi, pretending to listen attentively.

Tsunade continued, "Orochimaru, Pain, Konan, Zetsu, and the Masked Man are all gathered in the Land of Rain. Intelligence suggests that they may be plotting a major conspiracy."

"It's very likely... they've already gathered Nine Tailed Beasts!"

Jiraiya said, "But Naruto..."

Tsunade, signaling Jiraiya to stop talking nonsense, and then stated her guess.

Hinata was hearing this information for the first time. She had originally thought that Konoha was being kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

The Nine-Tails' power has been weakened.

The Akatsuki showed no concern for Naruto.

The Uzumaki Clan's mask has been lost.

Orochimaru rejoined Akatsuki.

In addition, there is the description of the Reaper Death Seal in the Scroll of Seals.

All indications suggest that the Fourth Hokage split the Nine-Tails in two, sealing one half inside Naruto and the other half inside Minato Namikaze.

Although this is just a guess, Tsunade believes that she is not far from the truth.

"Ten-Tails!"

Thinking of the intelligence he had secretly gathered over the years, Jiraiya's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Pain... uh... I should say Nagato! Nagato wants to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Jiraiya's tone was solemn. "The Rinnegan, plus the power of the Ten-Tails... the next Sage of Six Paths?"

"And that's not all..."

"Based on our last exchange, Nagato's goal is to rule the world! If he achieves his ambition, the Shinobi World is doomed!"

Hearing this, Hinata couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Wouldn't it be better to unify the Shinobi World?

It's less about the Shinobi World being finished and more about Konoha being finished.

Fortunately, it's alright.

At least the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan has not been exposed yet.

If the Akatsuki only wanted to unify the Shinobi World, the Five Great Shinobi Villages would never have joined forces.

Just like what the higher-ups in Sunagakure thought, if they can't beat them, they might as well join them.

At most, it will turn the conflict between villages into a power struggle within a single faction.

For those at the higher levels, it won't have much of an impact.

Jiraiya continued with a somber expression, "Besides, enemies from outside the world have also taken notice of our world."

"Outside the world?" Kakashi was completely bewildered.

Jiraiya gave Kakashi some information about the 'Otsutsuki clan', and then continued, "Tsunade, compared to the Akatsuki, these people are the real enemies!"

Hinata nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This is the Jiraiya I know!

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Jiraiya didn't actually want to confront the Akatsuki.

The battle between the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the Akatsuki depleted the strength of the Shinobi World.

If an enemy were to invade at this time, the Ninja World would be powerless to resist.

Moreover, if Nagato was truly so strong that he was invincible in the Shinobi World, he could have stood at the forefront when facing the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Tsunade, this is my idea!"

Jiraiya concluded by saying, "As for how to choose..."

Tsunade rested her hands on the table, her expression a mixture of emotions. Jiraiya's concerns extended beyond the interests of Konoha; they concerned the very survival of the entire Shinobi World.

Why let the Shinobi World fall into internal strife for the sake of Konoha?

Or should we abandon Konoha, let Akatsuki rule the Shinobi World, and face the Otsutsuki clan's potential invasion together?

This is a difficult choice!

This is especially true for the Hokage!

If she chooses the latter, then Tsunade will undoubtedly be a 'ruler who brings about the downfall of a nation,' while Konoha is a precious legacy left behind by Tsunade's grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

He closed his eyes in pain, his chest heaving.

Clearly, Tsunade was also struggling with a painful inner conflict.

Both choices seem to make Tsunade a sinner, no matter which one she chooses.

The only difference is that they are sinners of Konoha and sinners of the Shinobi World!

'Bang!'

With a loud crash, the desk was smashed to pieces. Tsunade up and glared at Jiraiya: "I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense and become the Hokage!"

Jiraiya sighed softly, a bitter smile on his face.

Who could have imagined that the situation in the Shinobi World would become so dire?

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade turned her gaze to Hinata: "Hinata, you should be able to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, right?"

What is that?

Hinata was completely bewildered. How did this suddenly get to me?

Tsunade looked at Hinata and said, "According to intelligence, the Otsutsuki clan possesses the Byakugan!"

"Perhaps... your aptitude is that of bloodline reversion, possessing some of the talents of the Otsutsuki clan."

"If it were you, you would be qualified to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and perhaps even allow your eyes to evolve again!"

At this point, Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and said, "If there is still a choice, then the only one who can change all of this... is perhaps Hinata!"
