Although Konoha and Sand Village are allies, the lower-ranking ninjas don't always get along well with each other.
Hinata, Ino, and Sakura entered the Sand Village's rest room. Ino and Sakura were clearly afraid of Gaara and timidly shrank behind Hinata.
Gaara and Kankuro also spotted Hinata and the others immediately. Kankuro unconsciously took a step back, but felt somewhat embarrassed.
Kankuro encountered Hinata twice and was instantly killed both times. His fear of Hinata is now second only to Gaara.
Kankuro was about to take a step back, hoping that if no one noticed him, no one would discover that he had done such an embarrassing thing...
After glancing around, Kankuro finally realized with despair that Hinata's gaze was fixed on him.
Hinata waved to Kankuro and said with a grin, "Hey handsome, come here for a second!"
Kankuro: I'm ugly, she can't be calling me! Right, Gaara way more handsome than me, she must be calling Gaara!
Seeing that Kankuro didn't move an inch, Hinata's smile grew even gentler as she said, enunciating each word clearly, "I! Will! Let! You! Come! Here! Me!"
Kankuro was like a puppet, his mechanism activated by Hinata's words.
Stiffly approaching Hinata, Kankuro struggled to maintain his composure and said stiffly, "Ladies of Konoha, is there... something you need?"
Hinata looked at Ino and Sakura, who were both completely bewildered and had no idea how to ask.
Although the Ninja Academy taught interrogation techniques such as torture, it only gave a brief explanation and did not provide a detailed introduction.
As for how to extract information... Hinata has never personally practiced it.
"Cough cough!"
After thinking for a moment, Hinata looked at Kankuro and asked, "Do you Sand Village know what 'Lingchi' means?"
Lingchi? What the hell?
Not wanting to appear ignorant and embarrass Sunagakure, Kankuro immediately nodded and said, "I know! What's wrong?"
"Fine!"
Hinata scratched her cheek with her finger, feeling a little annoyed. Did the Ninja World even have a punishment like 'Lingchi'?
He's no threat!
Ino glanced at the battle below the field. Shikamaru was now being cornered by Temari, and she was worried about Shikamaru condition. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Temari from your Sunagakure is quite formidable!"
Kankuro replied, "Hmph! Temari can use large-scale Wind Release Ninjutsu with her fan, saving her the trouble of Hand Seals. When she reveals her third star..."
A murderous gaze fixed on Kankuro's back, causing Kankuro to abruptly stop speaking.
Kankuro was also somewhat frustrated. What was wrong with me? Why did I so easily leak my sister's information...?
Kankuro glanced at Hinata and thought to himself, "Is it because I'm too afraid of this Hinata Hyuga?"
Hinata felt that trying to elicit information was not her style, so Hinata decided to get straight to the point.
"Is your Sunagakure...?"
Hinata was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"Hinata!"
Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Gaara, Kankuro all turned around at the same time. Hinata, Ino, and Sakura exclaimed in unison, "Shino? What are you doing here?"
Kankuro broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. When did this person arrive?
Shino exuded a menacing aura and said in a chilling tone, "I've been here from the very beginning!"
Kankuro nearly vomited blood and died.
You've been here from the beginning?
Before Temari even left the field, the three of them discussed a lot about the plan. Could this Shino have overheard everything?
"Uh..." Hinata was a little embarrassed, but then she said with a warm smile, "Shino, is there something you need?"
Shino nodded slightly and said calmly, "I have something to tell you all!"
Kankuro went berserk. It's all over. The Sand Village's plan is about to be exposed.
Kankuro turned and glanced at Gaara, asking with his eyes: Should we kill him to silence him?
Gaara returned a nonchalant look: You go?
Since Shukaku has chickened out, I'm not going!
Kankuro turned his head away nonchalantly, "I know nothing!"
Hinata called out, "Let's go outside and talk!"
Kankuro said with a beaming smile, "Farewell, everyone from Konoha!"
As the four reached the door, Hinata suddenly turned around, looked at Kankuro, and said, "You're a good guy, I'll remember you!"
Kankuro: Please forget me soon!
Hinata and the others left, Kankuro suddenly felt that even if he stayed alone with Gaara, it wasn't so scary anymore.
One monster is much better than two.
After leaving the lounge, Hinata three found a secluded corner.
Hinata looked at Shino and asked, "Shino, did you hear something from the Sand Village?"
Shino nodded and said, "Yes! They seem to have some kind of plan... but they haven't explained it in detail."
Hinata gave a "just as I expected" look and said solemnly, "Actually, I also noticed this. The reason I went to find Gaara and the others this time was to gather information."
Ino and Sakura looked at Hinata with admiration. Hinata is really amazing!
She's so capable, so smart, cute, has a great figure, and comes from a good family...
Thinking about it this way, the two of them suddenly felt a little inferior.
Only Shino knew the whole truth, but he dared not speak it!
Years of secret observation have given Shino far more information than anyone else.
For example, someone who is petty.
Hinata also gave Shino a thumbs up. With your words, I can inform my cheap father and let him make preparations as soon as possible.
Hinata continued, "Let me tell you, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the S-rank wanted fugitive, has recently returned to Konoha. And Jiraiya, another Legendary Sannin, has also appeared in Konoha."
Something big is going to happen today!
Ino asked worriedly, "Hinata, what should we do?"
Hinata thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we each go home, tell our families first, and then tell our Jonin teacher?"
"We're just Genin. It's already quite an achievement that we were able to discover that Sunagakure has ulterior motives. Let's leave the rest to the Jonin in the village!"
Shino agreed, "Sakura, go find Kurenai-sensei. She should be with Teacher Asuma. After you inform them, go home first. Ino, you can go and inform your family. Hinata, I just saw Lord Hiashi in the stands. Teacher Might Guy should be there too."
Shino's arrangements were quite good, and Hinata had no objections, nodding in agreement.
However, there was one thing that still bothered Hinata.
I don't think I'm very good at extracting information, and torture isn't really suited to cute girl art styles either.
"So, how am I supposed to gather intelligence from now on?!"
