A Beautiful Misunderstanding
As they talked, the group arrived at the Hyuga residence.
Although only a day had passed, Hinata felt as if she had been through several days and nights of continuous battles, and her whole body was exhausted and had no strength left.
Upon seeing the gate, her confidence immediately diminished. Then, seeing her own little courtyard, the scene before her began to spin. By the Hinata pushed open the door and saw her cute, warm little bed, she no longer had any strength left.
'Bang!'
He collapsed onto the bed.
Hinata just wants to sleep forever and not be disturbed by anything.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...
Hmm... it's already completely bright outside, but people who have stayed up all night are destined not to rest.
The information about the Land of Rain was delivered to Konoha by the ninja using the fastest Ninja Hawk. However, just a few hours later, Konoha learned of the battle report from the Land of Rain the previous night.
Although the spies sent by Konoha to infiltrate the Land of Rain could not get close to the center of the battlefield, the extent of the battle last night was the most extensive in the Shinobi World in recent decades.
The surrounding towns were like those affected by a category 10 typhoon and an earthquake of magnitude 8 or 9. Countless houses collapsed and were smashed to pieces, and the streets were riddled with bottomless cracks. Everywhere you looked, there were gruesome corpses.
Some were buried under the rubble, others were smashed to pieces. The city, which was once like a paradise, is now a shocking sight, like a living hell.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Although Hinata and Six Paths Madara's strength is still a long way from the level of a god, the Chakra they unleash during their battle is enough to cause enormous damage to the surrounding environment.
This is because neither Hinata nor Six Paths Madara are destructive ninjas, and both have extremely strong control over Chakra.
If Hinata and Six Paths Madara were to engage in a completely uncontrolled battle, the Ninja World might be destroyed.
This is no exaggeration.
Think about the battle between Naruto and Otsutsuki Toneri in the movie; they even split the moon in two.
Apart from a few small towns around the battlefield collapsing into ruins, almost all the cities and houses in the Ninja World suffered varying degrees of damage during the "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence" following the "Infinite Tsukuyomi".
The God Tree, which spread throughout the world, entangled all life except for Hinata and a few others.
According to intelligence, there were approximately three battles yesterday.
The ninjas who were gathering intelligence dared not approach the battlefield, so Konoha knew nothing about either side in the battle.
Although Jiraiya, Kakashi, Itachi Uchiha, and others went deep into the battlefield to gather intelligence after waking up, they could only deduce some obvious things from the traces on the battlefield.
"..."
Amidst the rubble and ruins, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Itachi Uchiha stood silently facing each other.
Their mission this time can be considered a success, because the leader of the Akatsuki is dead.
Without the Rinnegan, the Akatsuki is no threat at all.
With Itachi Uchiha providing accurate intelligence on the Akatsuki members, Orochimaru Hinata, and the remaining Akatsuki forces can be quickly wiped out by the major Shinobi Village.
However, from another perspective, their mission this time failed again, and it was a complete and utter defeat.
Jiraiya has received a letter from Tsunade and learned about what happened in Konoha last night.
"Hinata, she..."
After a long silence, Kakashi's slightly pale lips moved, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I never imagined that the Hyuga Clan had been plotting for so long, all to revive that person!"
Itachi Uchiha gazed in the direction of Konoha, lost in thought for quite some time.
Was Sasuke involved too?
Rinnegan!
Sasuke's power at this moment has completely surpassed that of Madara Uchiha in the past. In terms of developing Kekkei Genkai, Sasuke has gone further than any other member of the Uchiha clan.
What will the future hold?
Jiraiya's expression was somewhat complicated.
He traveled the Shinobi World for many years. Although he always held the dream that "people can understand each other", he had also witnessed the joys and sorrows of human life and had many insights in his heart.
Whether the unification of the Shinobi World is good or bad is still unclear to everyone.
After all, the nations have been hostile to each other for many years, and the concepts of nation and ninja village have become deeply ingrained in people's minds.
However, these things can change over time. Ninja villages can replace ninja clans, and unification can naturally replace division.
Moreover, Hinata's methods were relatively gentle. She did not directly conquer other ninja villages through war, but instead used absolute power as coercion to force other ninja villages to resolve issues through negotiation.
Jiraiya was somewhat worried about this, but he was actually happy to see it happen.
Because as long as Hinata is alive, the Shinobi World can remain peaceful.
But...
Hinata is preparing to take action against the Three Great Sage Regions!
Furthermore, Hinata has already destroyed Ryūchi Cave and wiped out the White Snake Sage Clan.
Hinata used the excuse of "the massacre of humans in Ryūchi Cave" to justify attacking Ryūchi Cave, which shows that Hinata still had reservations at the time.
This time, however, Hinata didn't even bother to make excuses.
The Three Great Sage Regions should belong to humankind!
They even fabricated an excuse that the Three Great Sage Regions had belonged to humans since ancient times, only to be forcibly occupied by Toad, Katsuyu, and snakes.
Through his exploration of the battlefield and his understanding of a thousand years of history, Jiraiya concluded that the ultimate goal of the Hyuga Clan was to resurrect the mother of the Sage of Six Paths.
And the plan has already succeeded.
That Genjutsu last night...
Although Jiraiya did not yet have specific information, he could already get a general idea of some things just by reasoning and guessing.
Covering the entire world...
To establish authority?
After all, to unify the world, one must demonstrate some power!
According to the information provided by Tsunade, Konoha also suffered a certain degree of damage. No one in the world could escape an attack of that magnitude.
"Genjutsu that covers the entire world!"
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "... And there's an attack that will cover the entire world!"
"What kind of power is this?"
Kakashi shook his head slightly. The Shinobi World is no longer the same as it was three years ago.
A pair of Rinnegan was already enough of a headache for major Shinobi Village.
But now two pairs of Rinnegan have appeared!!!
Hinata, however, seems to be in a dominant position...
This means that Hinata may very well possess an even more powerful Dōjutsu.
And that person too!
"What do we do next?" Kakashi asked.
Go back to Konoha?
Actually, Jiraiya wanted to go back.
After all, the unification of the Shinobi World is underway, Jiraiya the Shinobi World at heart, always wants to contribute his share to make the world more stable and peaceful.
Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest are in danger of extinction!
"Well!"
Jiraiya sighed softly, turned his gaze to Kakashi, his eyes solemn, and said in a tone of entrusting everything, "Kakashi, everything in Konoha is in your hands!"
"I..."
"I must return to Mount Myōboku!"
