Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 14 Stay!

Led by Orochimaru, the group walked towards the central military tent, and Hinata Shin also took the opportunity to observe the situation of the entire camp.

Overall, everything was in good order, with no sense of chaos or looseness, and no one was heard expressing dissatisfaction with the commander-in-chief, as most people performed their duties.

After all, this was Orochimaru's first time as a commander, so it was amazing that he could achieve this level.

Even Danzo was a little worse than him, because when Hinata was on the Sand Village front, he often heard some ninjas privately criticizing Danzo's task arrangements and battle plans.

Of course, it is also possible that Danzo’s motives were impure. Many missions involve great risks, so it is normal for ninjas to complain.

After all, everyone has only one life.

When they arrived at the big tent, Orochimaru, as the host, arranged for the two to sit down and welcomed them.

Rope Tree finally managed to escape safely thanks to Tsunade's persuasion, but was driven out after Tsunade strictly ordered him not to run around.

What follows is a matter between adults.

As a close comrade-in-arms of Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, Orochimaru has a certain understanding of Hashirama Senju's strength.

He couldn't help but feel curious about Hinata Shin, who was a contemporary of Senju Hashirama and was called a strong man by Tsunade.

But for some reason, although he is still alive, he is not well known by everyone.

Even a figure like Orochimaru knew very little about Hinata Shinya.

"Has it been banned by the higher-ups?"

"Why are you returning to the ninja world now?"

"Are you coming to the battlefield to have a glorious ending?"

Although Orochimaru didn't say anything on the way to the tent, he was increasingly suspicious of Hinata Makoto.

Tsunade had not had a detailed conversation with Hinata Makoto because she was worried about Nawaki.

Now that she has calmed down, there are really many things she wants to ask Hinata Shin.

"Little Tsunade, just ask whatever you want to ask. There's no need to look at me like that." Hinata Shin said gently when he saw Tsunade sitting next to him looking at him with a puzzled look.

Hearing Hinata say this, Orochimaru, who was sitting opposite him, also became interested. Although his expression did not change, the curiosity in his eyes betrayed him.

"Grandpa Zhen, since you are still alive, why haven't you come to see me for so many years? I remember that you loved me very much when I was a child."

"Why is your existence gradually forgotten by the world?"

"What happened back then that caused you to almost disappear from the ninja world?"

"Logically speaking, no matter what, I shouldn't gradually forget or even ignore your existence."

Tsunade blurted out all the doubts in her mind.

"It's indeed my problem, but there are also some other factors."

"You should know that I participated in the Battle of the Valley of the End."

"I fought your grandfather and Madara and was seriously injured and dying. My foundation was damaged and I could no longer practice chakra. I lost all my strength."

"And during that time, he was targeted by a very powerful being and was persecuted by the Hyuga clan. He became disheartened and retired from the world."

"As for why the world has forgotten my existence, it is mainly because I did it on purpose. After all, the power of time passing surpasses all ninjutsu."

"As for your neglect or even forgetfulness of me, it was because I asked your second grandfather to do that. In order not to affect your growth and so that I could live in peace and seclusion, I asked him to give you a psychological hint."

"As for why I didn't come to see you, I am indeed sorry, because once you see me, your psychological suggestion will be broken by the memory hidden deep in your mind and become ineffective."

Hinata Shin answered Tsunade's questions one by one.

After listening to Hinata's answer, Tsunade also recalled some things.

It was just as Hinata said, she had heard her second grandfather talk about the battle of the Valley of the End. At that time, she had not yet been psychologically hinted at, and after learning that Hinata had lost all his power, she had gone to play with him many times.

At that time, Hinata Shinya seemed to have become a different person overnight. Although he still cared about her, he no longer had the patience and enthusiasm to tease her as before.

It seemed as if something was urging him on.

"What kind of strong man can make you afraid? I remember my grandfather said when I was playing with you that your strength is not much different from his." Tsunade continued to ask.

Orochimaru also wanted to know this.

"I won't tell you any more. It's no good to know too much. The waters of the ninja world are much deeper than you think! You are not prepared right now!"

Hinata Shin didn't answer Tsunade's question directly this time, but instead said something ambiguous, making it sound like there was some earth-shattering news.

This made Orochimaru and Tsunade feel itchy.

And it's more authentic given his identity.

"Then why did you come to the Iwagakure battlefield this time, senior?" Orochimaru did not get the answer he wanted but that did not stop him from asking the question.

"I have come here specially for you, Orochimaru." Hinata Shinji did not hide anything and said it directly.

"For Orochimaru?"

"Come for me?"

Tsunade and Orochimaru were both a little surprised!
What surprised Tsunade was that Hinata had been hiding from the world for so many years and not only did he not come out to see her, but he actually came to see Orochimaru on purpose.

If it wasn't a chance encounter, she might never see him again in this life. What she didn't know was that this was not a chance encounter, but a foreseeable one.

"Is there anything special about Orochimaru?" Tsunade couldn't help but feel confused.

Orochimaru is completely different. He has no idea what Hinata is up to.

You know, he and Hinata Zhen have never had any contact except today! Even today, they haven't even said a few words.

Hinata Makoto suddenly said that he came here specially for him, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, senior?"

Although Orochimaru didn't know why Hinata Shin came here, he still expressed his respect tactfully.

After all, he is Tsunade's elder, the founder of Konoha, and a once powerful man!
Basic respect still needs to be given.

Even though Hinata was truly a riddle man, laying the hook for him, it had to be said that it succeeded in arousing his curiosity.

"It's not really a service. I just want to stay here for a while and see if I can change the direction of the wind! Or create a new wind!" Hinata Shin continued to transform into a riddler, and Orochimaru and Tsunade's foreheads were bulging with veins after hearing it.

You old man keep laying out hooks in batches, which always makes people feel itchy, but you don't explain it clearly, which is really annoying.

The itching from a distance is the most unbearable!
Hinata Shin knows how to fish.

His hooking skills became more and more handy.

"Since you have this idea, I have no objection, but please abide by the corresponding regulations. After all, this is a wartime state."

Although Orochimaru was unhappy with Hinata's behavior of playing riddles and setting hooks, he still agreed.

However, he made a request to Hinata Shin, which was to abide by the wartime system in order to express his dissatisfaction with him.

Tsunade was also speechless by Hinata's riddle-like behavior, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Just at this moment a messenger ninja came in to report on his work, and the conversation ended there.

Let me try and see if I can change the direction of the wind this time.

Tsunade-chan, I'm doing this all for you!
