Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Chapter 96 Saving the Day

Orochimaru.

One of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, he was once a renowned hero of Konoha. However, after realizing the fragility of life, he went further and further down the path of human experimentation until he became so obsessed that he carried out inhumane experiments on his fellow villagers.

After his crimes were exposed, he decisively defected from Konoha, transforming from a hero whom Konoha was once proud of into a rogue ninja hated by everyone.

Without a doubt, Orochimaru is one of the very top figures in the ninja world.

They are also the hardest people to kill.

Faced with the choice between chasing Orochimaru and saving his three students, Kakashi resolutely chose the former.

Upholding his father's ideals and following the legacy of his companions.

"Give."

Hinata handed the Flying Thunder God Blade to Kakashi.

Don't overthink it.

"I'll go rescue Sakura and the others. You take him and chase after Orochimaru."

"After I rescue Sakura, I will immediately use the Flying Thunder God Technique to reunite with you."

Before Kakashi could ask any more questions, Hinata had already turned and moved towards Team 7.

Kakashi glanced at Hinata's disappearing figure with mixed feelings, then, without lingering, quickly headed in the direction Hinata had indicated earlier.

In the previous conversation, he had overlooked Hinata's Flying Thunder God Technique because he was too concerned, and chose to pursue Orochimaru instead.

Hinata, knowing her own situation, still put this problem on her shoulders.

I'm afraid it's not...

A bitter smile appeared on Kakashi's lips beneath his mask.

on purpose.

Hinata's perverse sense of humor no longer matters.

The most important thing right now is to catch up with Orochimaru and hold out until Hinata and the reinforcements arrive.

Kakashi's heart tightened at the thought, his dark eyes revealing a look of seriousness and killing intent.

Orochimaru extended his claws toward his disciple, Uchiha Sasuke.

Kakashi could not tolerate this at all!

Even if it costs him his life, Kakashi is determined to take his opponent down with him!

Logically speaking, Hinata had already completed the second Chunin Exam and had no right to interfere with the progress of the other examinees in the Forest of Death.

But as everyone knows, Hinata has always been a person who doesn't follow the rules.

so----

so what?

Hinata had reason to suspect that the Sound Three and Orochimaru had some shady relationship.

Although Hinata has no evidence, that is the truth.

From the Byakugan's perspective, Hinata is getting closer and closer to Team 7, while Kakashi, who is going in the opposite direction, is drifting further and further away.

Rock Lee had already come to the aid of Team 7. He should have been able to crush the Sound Ninja trio with overwhelming force, but he was injured and fell to the ground by the Sound Ninja team's ninja tools during the battle.

Hinata found it as ridiculous as a lion being kicked to death by a rabbit when Rock Lee was defeated by the Sound Ninja Team.

-

Hinata, who was still on her way to provide support, saw this scene and couldn't help but curse her as a piece of trash.

At this moment, seeing that Rock Lee, who had come to provide reinforcements, had been defeated, Sakura did not hesitate to muster her courage and, in order to protect Naruto,

Sasuke and Rock Lee, who had already been defeated, faced three powerful enemies alone.

Seeing this, Hinata leaped across the river and crossed the dense forest, just as Sakura, enraged by having her long hair pulled by Kin from the Sound Ninja, was about to cut it off—

boom!

Just as Sakura cut off her long hair with a kunai, the metal thing that was holding her was suddenly sent flying like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust!

This scene stunned everyone present, and left the Ino-Shika-Cho team, who had come to provide support, speechless.

"Does it seem I'm a step too late?"

A familiar voice rang in Sakura's ears. Hinata glanced around and her gaze fell on Sakura, who was covered in wounds, beside her.

Hinata?!

Everyone present was excited when they saw Hinata.

"It's you?!"

When Sound Ninja Tosu saw this familiar face, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Ever since he witnessed the strength of the Hyuga squad before the first exam, he had been reluctant to come and fight against the Konoha ninja squad.

However, Orochimaru ordered them to attack Team 7 to force Sasuke to adapt to the Heaven's Curse Seal, so they had no choice but to carry out Orochimaru's orders.

really----

This guy still showed up!

"Well, let's talk this out. I think we might have misunderstood something."

Tos instinctively took a step back, looking for an opportunity to escape.

"It's you again!"

"I'll kill you today!"

Compared to Tos, Zaku seems to have failed to recognize the gap in strength between himself and Hinata. Even though he had been defeated by Hinata once before, he still believed that he was just careless.

Hinata————

Seeing the girl with the disdainful eyes who arrived at the crucial moment, Sakura's determination to fight to the death, even if it meant cutting off her most cherished long hair, immediately dissipated by more than half.

"Do you remember the resolve you made just now?"

"Keep it up, don't forget."

Hinata remained unmoved by Sakura's tearful expression, which suggested she was about to cry because of her arrival. Instead, she looked into Sakura's eyes and spoke.

"Um!"

Sakura nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

"Well, actually, Sakura with short hair is quite cute."

He reached out and ruffled Sakura's hair, and a Flying Thunder God Blade landed in front of her.

"If you encounter danger in the future, you can input chakra into it."

"If I can come, I definitely will."

Ignoring Sakura's current mood, Hinata strolled towards Natos and Zaku.

"Sorry, I have something to do. I was hoping to play with you guys for a bit."

"If you could, would you two just kill yourselves on the spot?"

"It saves me the trouble of taking up my time."

His words were cold and condescending as he stated the facts, which infuriated Sack.

"hateful!"

Don't underestimate me!

"My Sky-Slicing Wave can even shatter rocks!"

After saying that, Zak raised his hands and aimed the hollows in his palms at Hinata!

In an instant, a powerful gust of air condensed in his palm and shot towards Hinata!

"Wow, that sounds amazing."

Hinata tilted her head as if startled by the man's words.

Hinata raised her finger and aimed it at Nazak.

A beam of light shot out from the fingertip, and the so-called Void-Slicing Wave was as thin as paper in front of this light!

The beam of light pierced through the air-cutting wave and plunged straight into the hollow of Nasak's palm!

Hinata instantly destroyed the special human device created by Orochimaru's human modification!

"what!"

The excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone caused Sack to scream in agony. His palms were hollow and bleeding profusely, making him feel like he was dying!

"Trash, I can't even stand the sight of you."

Seeing that Zaku was unable to get up again, Hinata was disdainful. She aimed her palm at Zaku, and the Bagua Palm technique gathered in her palm. In an instant, a violent airflow surged up, and she instantly embedded the screaming Zaku into the ground with her palm!

Hinata glanced at Zaku, whose fate was unknown, and then turned her gaze to Tos.

"roll."

As soon as he finished speaking, Natos felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He thanked Hinata profusely and then turned to leave.
