Just as Hinata was blocking the Central Tower and demanding tolls, Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru met in the Forest of Death.
Kabuto Yakushi said with a slightly amused expression, "Lord Orochimaru, it seems your plan has failed."
Kabuto Yakushi, after all, possessed the strength of Elite Jonin and had been lurking in Konoha for many years. He also had connections with Sasori of the Red Sands. At this point, he could not be considered Orochimaru's confidant, and his words were not particularly polite.
In the Original Story, Orochimaru even gave Kabuto Yakushi a special warning about this.
Orochimaru, thinking Kabuto Yakushi was talking about Sasuke and not wanting to lose face in front of his subordinates, stuck out his tongue and licked his face, saying in a sinister voice, "There's still a month Chunin Ninja Exams. There are still many opportunities to get Sasuke."
Kabuto Yakushi was surprised; he hadn't expected that even his mission to seduce Sasuke had failed.
"Hehe!" Kabuto Yakushi chuckled lightly, "Lord Orochimaru, that's not what I was talking about."
"Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke are blocking the tower. Gaara has already been defeated. If no one from Sunagakure passes the Second Exam, your plan may have to come to an end."
Orochimaru's expression changed: Who on earth is ruining my plans? This is the second time!
It's obvious that the person who ruined Orochimaru's plan was none other than our Otsutsuki Hinata.
If no one from Sunagakure passes the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams, then the Fourth Kazekage won't come to Konoha for the Third Exam, because he'll be too ashamed to show up.
If the Fourth Kazekage doesn't come, Orochimaru won't be able to ambush him. And if he can't ambush the Fourth Kazekage, Orochimaru won't be able to get close to the Third Hokage.
The Konoha Crush Plan was thus aborted.
This is a chain reaction.
Orochimaru knew Gaara was very strong, but he never expected that Gaara would be defeated in the Second Exam.
Orochimaru asked casually, "I haven't been back to Konoha for a long time. Although I heard that the little girl from the Hyuga Clan is very strong, I didn't expect that she could actually defeat Gaara."
Kabuto Yakushi chuckled, "Even I'm not very confident. I heard that Demon Zabuza was defeated by her."
Orochimaru asked in surprise, "Oh? Is the information reliable?"
The news that Hinata was Zabuza by Team 7, which Hinata was part of, was not a secret in Konoha.
Although the rumors say that Hinata defeated Zabuza, most people probably think that the credit for defeating Zabuza should belong to Kakashi, and that Hinata at most delivered the final blow and stole Kakashi's head.
Kabuto Yakushi nodded and said, "The Anbu has confirmed the news; it was indeed Hinata Hyuga who defeated Zabuza."
Orochimaru was somewhat annoyed. If Hinata continued to block the Central Tower, the people of Sunagakure would definitely not be able to pass the Second Exam.
After all, even Gaara was defeated.
Even if Orochimaru can rescue Gaara and give him two scrolls, Gaara still won't pass the test if he can't get Hinata.
Unless Orochimaru or Kabuto Yakushi personally intervene.
"Hehehehe—" Orochimaru laughed loudly, with a playful tone. "Since that's the case, then I'll go and meet this little girl from the Hyuga Clan myself, and also leave Sasuke with an unforgettable memory."
Kabuto Yakushi tentatively said, "Lord Orochimaru, if you were to choose a new vessel, I believe Hinata would be a better fit for you than Sasuke."
Orochimaru stared coldly at Kabuto Yakushi, his killing intent flickering within him, and chuckled, "Kabuto, you may have your own ideas, but you'd better not set your sights on Sasuke."
Kabuto Yakushi quickly lowered his head and admitted defeat. "This subordinate dares not."
Kabuto Yakushi has spent many years working as a spy among powerful figures from all sides, and has a very thorough understanding of personality and human nature.
Orochimaru's defeat to Itachi Uchiha was perhaps indeed a humiliation he would never forget.
However, given Orochimaru's personality, if he truly wanted to get revenge on Itachi Uchiha, he would never use the power of the Sharingan.
Kabuto Yakushi was fairly confident about this.
Orochimaru is a proud man. He was defeated by the Sharingan, so he would never use the power of the Sharingan to defeat his opponent.
Therefore, Kabuto Yakushi speculated that there might be more secrets Sharingan.
For example, the power that Itachi Uchiha used when he defeated Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's ideal is to master all the Ninjutsu in the world, and to achieve this, he desires immortality. While researching various forbidden techniques, Orochimaru is also searching for the truth of the Shinobi World.
For example: the legend of the Sage of Six Paths.
In the legend of the Sage of Six Paths, the names 'Senju' and 'Uchiha' originated from Sage of Six Paths.
In fact, during the time he joined Akatsuki, Orochimaru had already seen the legendary Rinnegan belonging to the Sage of Six Paths.
"Dou, you just need to do your own thing."
After saying this, Orochimaru slowly walked into the shadows of the forest and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
A glint of light flashed in Kabuto Yakushi his glasses. His strength was not enough to grant him freedom, nor did he have as many research resources Orochimaru.
If you want to know everything, the only way is to become completely loyal to Orochimaru.
"However... I also need to find an opportunity to test Sasuke!"
'Bang!'
They defeated another group of ninjas, but unfortunately only found one scroll.
It seems their idea is the same as Hinata's group: to ambush other teams near the tower.
They had been in the Forest of Death for a day and a night, Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke had defeated more than a dozen teams in a row.
Neji's group arrived at the tower right after Kiba and the others. When Hinata asked him to treat them to a month's worth of meals, Neji agreed without hesitation.
Next, only the Konoha- Ino-Shika-Cho remained among the Konoha ninjas of the same generation.
Hinata stopped another group of ninjas and, seeing that they were wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, asked, "How many scrolls did you steal?"
The three people opposite him were wary and remained silent.
Hinata took out a dozen scrolls and boasted, "I'm not trying to steal them from you. My name is Hinata Hyuga, and you should have heard Daimyo me. If you agree to treat Team 7 to a month of lavish meals, I'll give you the scrolls you need."
One person asked, "Are you serious?"
Hinata pouted and said, "Why would I need to lie to you?"
Hinata then took out paper and pen and said with a very serious expression, "All you need to do is leave a written agreement and put your fingerprints and signatures on it."
Thus, another team of Konoha Ninja passed the Second Exam.
Hinata also enjoyed a month's worth of feasts.
Hinata felt a little smug. After the exam, the name of Otsutsuki Hinata would be labeled as 'broad-minded and helpful'.
Which of these Genin Jonin wouldn't give Otsutsuki Hinata some face?
That's what connections are all about!
Naruto suddenly called out, "Hinata, Sasuke, someone else is coming."
Hinata turned her head and saw that it was a Grass Ninja.
"Byakugan!"
Hinata frowned slightly. He was the only one nearby, and this Grass Ninja ...
Damn it, it's Orochimaru!
Hinata could no longer laugh. Why was Orochimaru back again?
Orochimaru licked his cheek, his tone playful. "Looks like you've collected quite a few scrolls! I happen to be missing one too. In that case, let's wager the scrolls and have a life-or-death battle!"
Hinata imitated Orochimaru, sticking out her tongue and licking around, her short little tongue only reaching her lips.
Hinata asked with the curiosity of a child, "How did you do that? Just like that (Hinata licked her lips again), your tongue is so long!"
Orochimaru: "..."
