Everything Was Orochimaru's Doing★3
Under the watchful eyes of Hyuga Hiashi, the clan head, and Hinata Hyuga's mother, Hinata herself was already chatting secretly with Roman through mental communication, discussing Soul Resonance and sleeping together that night.
Before long, half a day had passed. Hinata brought Roman back to her residence, activated her Byakugan, and scanned the surroundings. Only after confirming that there was no longer anyone watching them did she smile and turn to Roman. "Now we're free. For the next seven days, no one will be monitoring us anymore! We can be a little bolder and increase the resonance between our souls once more, raising the speed at which our strength improves to another level." "Mm." Roman nodded hard. A faint smile appeared on his handsome young face before he asked Hinata, "You fought that old Hyuga man at the training ground and sweated a lot, didn't you?" "Yeah, I'm covered in sweat now. It feels all sticky..." Roman's eyes lit up slightly. "Well, we're home now. Take off your socks." "Why? I'm not planning to wash up yet... Besides, my feet are all sweaty. They might even smell." "Anyway... Hinata, just take them off." Hinata did as he said, then her eyes widened in shock when she saw Roman lower his head.
Seeing this, Hinata was deeply shaken by Roman's actions. Without hesitation, she synchronized her senses, and a strange look entered her eyes. So this was what it felt like when another me "touched" my delicate feet! It felt so good, so comfortable! As expected of me!
Roman and Hinata's Soul Resonance increased as a result!
The scene in the room became even more harmonious.
Of course, if Hyuga Hiashi or Hinata's mother saw this scene, they would instantly fly into a rage and rush to kill Roman, that blond bastard, with kunai in hand.
Of course, neither Hyuga Hiashi nor Hinata's mother could possibly come at this moment.
After all, Hyuga Hiashi had taken a Vacuum Attack. Although most of its power had been weakened, he had still suffered several wounds and needed medicine applied. Without any surprises, Hyuga Hiashi was currently lying in bed with a troubled expression while Hinata's mother treated his injuries.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Shimura Danzō, the leader of Root, who had long since arranged surveillance personnel within the Hyuga Clan, received intelligence from a Konoha branch family.
After reading it, his cloudy eyes widened. He raised his head and glared viciously at the Hyuga Branch Family Root ninja before him, whose tongue bore an engraved full-body paralysis cursed seal. "Are you sure the intelligence you wrote is true? That young Byakugan girl from the Hyuga Main Family, Hinata Hyuga, really defeated her father head-on? Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga Main Family?"
"Yes."
Hyuga Akira, the Hyuga Branch Family Root ninja, gave a solemn salute and reported, "Lord Danzō, all the intelligence Akira has submitted is true. Lord Hiashi really was defeated by his daughter. He even nearly lost his position as clan head and was almost overthrown, with Lady Hinata, who defeated him, taking his place!"
Danzō rebuked him, "A child defeating the head of an entire clan? Do you think Hinata is the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju? No... Even if Lord Hashirama Senju were alive, I fear he could not accomplish such an inhuman feat. You must have fabricated this. Could it be... that those Main Family Elders have discovered you, and this report was forced upon you by those Hyuga Main Family elders?"
"No such thing has happened. I remain hidden within the Hyuga Clan, and no one has discovered me. Neither the elders of the Hyuga Main Family nor Lord Hizashi and Lord Hiashi have noticed!"
At this point, Hyuga Akira's expression turned earnest. "Lord Danzō, please examine the intelligence I submitted carefully. Everything written there is true."
"Hmph."
Danzō snorted coldly and continued examining the report. He turned the page and read for a while longer before finally raising his head again.
At this moment, Danzō's eyes no longer held their former indifference. All that remained was gravity, and his brows had furrowed deeply.
Hinata of the Hyuga Main Family had mastered the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu, the A-rank Rasengan!
She also possessed Chakra that far surpassed that of an ordinary Jonin, even rivaling a Kage!
An improved version of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!
None of this could possibly have been achieved by a little girl. If she truly could do it, then her talent would surpass even that of the First Hokage!
But that was impossible. The First Hokage was the limit of mankind...
Which meant someone had taught Hinata the A-rank Rasengan, bestowed upon her an enormous amount of Chakra, and even given her an improved Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!
And in my, Shimura Danzō's, knowledge, Konoha once had such a person—someone who had mastered the Rasengan recorded in the Scroll of Seals, conducted deep research into Chakra... and even possessed heaven-defying talent for researching ninjutsu.
"Orochimaru."
Danzō spoke the name.
"Yes, that's right." Remembering something, Hyuga Akira hurriedly reported, "When Lady Hinata fought Lord Hiashi at the Hyuga Clan training ground, Lord Hiashi did say that Hinata should stop using that power from Lord Orochimaru, a power that carried enormous risks."
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed through Danzō's eyes as he thought to himself, I remember that Hinata was once kidnapped and taken to the Forest of Death! And when I sent a message to Orochimaru, he admitted that he was the one who kidnapped her!!
It all matched up!
Everything matched up!
Sure enough, it was all Orochimaru's doing!!
Bang!
Danzo formed hand seals in his office, summoning a small white-scaled snake that continuously flicked its red tongue. He stuffed the intelligence he had just written into the snake's mouth and said:
"Deliver this intelligence to Orochimaru."
The instant his words fell, the little snake's body turned into white smoke with a bang, vanishing from where it stood.
Meanwhile, Konoha Rogue Ninja Orochimaru, who was conducting human experiments in a mysterious underground base, sensed something at that moment and frowned slightly:
Konoha's secret contact route? They're contacting me again?!
Is something wrong with that Danzo bastard?
I'm already a rogue ninja, yet he still contacts me so frequently. Could it be... to find out where I am?
Is he preparing to bring my teacher, the Third Hokage, along with a large number of Konoha ninja to hunt me down?
If that's really the case, doesn't he know that I have plenty of dirt on him? I could expose all of it at any time.
And... more importantly, I, Orochimaru, may not be particularly strong in other respects, but when it comes to vitality and the ability to escape, I am among the very best in the world. No one can surpass me.
Orochimaru took a deep breath and began forming hand seals.
As white smoke rose, a white snake appeared and opened its mouth wide, producing a slime-covered scroll.
Orochimaru opened it and revealed a deeply astonished expression.
