Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Chapter 86 Hinata's Chakra

On atop a giant tree in the Death Forest, a girl with pure white eyes crossed her arms and looked down at the three people from Kusagakure below.

Her words still seem to echo in my ears.

None of the three from Kusagakure present expected that Hinata Hyuga, who had previously single-handedly attempted to fight against a group of highly skilled examinees, would ask such a question—

Um... these are down-to-earth words.

Logically speaking, shouldn't a genius like this be arrogant and disdainful of everyone?

"Yes, yes, she will!"

Karin's teammate seemed to realize the key to the problem and immediately pointed at Karin to answer.

I want her to say it herself.

Hinata looked displeased upon hearing this.

The grass-hidden ninja immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.

"I—I will."

Karin hesitated before speaking.

She wasn't lying; she really could.

After all, it would be strange if she and her mother didn't even know basic cooking skills in a place like Kusagakure.

Although her mother is no longer with her, what she taught her has always stayed with Karin.

"Yes, very good."

Hinata nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Karin was kidnapped, but she also came with cooking skills, so her meals for the next few days are taken care of.

"Alright, you two can leave now."

Hinata waved her hand, signaling the two to get lost.

"Okay, sure, no problem."

The two men quickly bowed and left.

After Hinata and the others left after the first exam, her identity was already revealed to everyone by that guy named Kabuto Yakushi.

Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, and the next head of the Hyuga family.

He graduated from the Ninja Academy two years ago. Although he had only completed a handful of missions, his performance before the first exam made his limited number of missions seem like a sign of his ability to bide his time.

Now that she has suddenly emerged as a formidable force, she is clearly using the Chunin Exams as a springboard for her rise to prominence.

Seeing her two teammates leave, Karin, all alone, nervously looked at the three Hyuga clan members who had jumped to the ground and were walking towards her.

"Karin, right? I'm Hinata Hyuga."

"From now on, you belong to me."

"You have no choice but to agree."

A few simple words decided Karin's ownership, and Karin, just as Hinata said, had no right to refuse.

"Ah, okay—okay."

Faced with the assertiveness of this Hyuga young lady, Karin timidly agreed.

Although she is now a member of Kusagakure.

But how could a mere Kusagakure village compare to the Hyuga clan, the foremost of the five great ninja villages and a thousand-year-old clan in the ninja world?

Even though Hinata kidnapped Karin in front of the leader of Kusagakure, the leader of Kusagakure could only swallow his anger and accept it.

Karin, in particular, has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

Against this backdrop, even Hiruzen Sarutobi needed to take good care of the orphan of his former staunch ally.

"Don't make that face."

"I'm very easy to talk to. If I have something to eat, you'll have something to drink."

Seeing Karin's appearance, Hinata couldn't help but walk over and pat Karin's head before speaking.

"----yes."

Karin remained silent and could only obediently comply.

This person is really quite outgoing, but this chakra...

It was full of vigor and vitality.

In Karin Kagura's perception, Hinata's chakra was extremely pure.

It is as vibrant as a tender sprout in spring.

Among the people Karin has met, very few possess such distinctive chakra characteristics.

"Hinata, that guy from Sunagakure is getting closer to the central tower."

Just as Hinata was basking in the satisfaction of catching the Pokémon, Toneri suddenly spoke up.

All four people present were ninjas with wide-range sensory abilities.

The range of perception of the Byakugan inherited from his father, Shiro, is over twenty kilometers.

It can easily sense most of the Death Forest.

Karin's sensory abilities surpass those of Hinata and the others, easily covering the entire Forest of Death and extending even further.

"Okay, let's go take care of that guy!"

Hinata nodded without hesitation upon hearing this.

Since we're planning to kill Gaara right here, there's no need to hesitate.

So what if he's the son of the Wind Shadow?

She's still the princess with the white eyes.

"You guys protect Karin, I'll take care of that guy with the gourd."

Crushing, squeezing.

The massive amount of sand transformed into the most terrifying weapon, easily crushing the Rain Village ninja blocking their path into a bloody pulp.

Blood mixed with bits of flesh fell like rain.

This scene was witnessed by the Ino-Shika-Cho, who were hiding not far away, trembling with fear.

The three young girls, including Ino, couldn't imagine that this person, who was only about their age, could be so cruel.

Taking the scroll was one thing, but they had already begged for mercy, yet they still wanted to kill them all.

"Gaara————"

Not only the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, but even Kankuro and Temari, who were used to Gaara's cold-bloodedness, couldn't help but tremble slightly upon seeing this scene.

"Shut up."

-

Gaara's voice was extremely cold.

Just two words were enough to silence his brother and sister.

"Let's go."

"They can't make Mom happy."

Blood-stained sand, accompanied by Gaara's whispers, surged toward the gourd behind him.

Gaara didn't care about these Rain Village examinees who were as weak as ants.

In his view, these people were nothing more than playthings to amuse his mother.

However----

"Yo."

"We meet again."

Just as Gaara and his companions were about to continue their approach to the central tower, an untimely voice rang out from behind them, causing the three Sand Village members to stop in their tracks.

"It's you—"

Hinata Hyuga.

Gaara revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

He remembered her.

Before the Chunin Exams, Hinata Hyuga had openly shown her murderous intent towards him.

Now----

He wanted to make his mother happy!

"Do you remember what I said?"

Hinata sat on a tree trunk behind Gaara and the others, watching Gaara with great interest through her Byakugan eyes.

Because Gaara and his two companions were so efficient, they obtained the Heaven and Earth Scroll as soon as they entered the examination hall and moved straight toward the central tower. Hinata didn't have time to worry about Neji, Toneri, and Karin, so she took the initiative to block the three from Sunagakure in advance.

Hinata Hyuga.

"We have no direct conflict."

"If you want a scroll, it should be a very simple thing."

Temari, who was standing next to Gaara, tried to ease the tension between the two sides and spoke up loudly.

After all, Gaara had just killed someone and was still in an unstable state of mind. If he were to fight Hinata Hyuga, who was clearly much stronger, it could very well get out of control.

This will have a significant impact on their plans.

"Ino, you guys go."

"It wouldn't be good if you were implicated."

Hinata ignored Temari and instead looked towards a corner to speak.

Shikamaru was speechless. The Byakugan's view was that the three of them were hiding something, which was obvious to him.
