Chapter 112: Change and Growth
To be honest, Konoha was able to react quickly and immediately send reinforcements, and Hinata was still a little surprised.
After all, Hinata can guess the thoughts of the old fritters in Konoha to some extent.
Although they hope that Sand Ninja can help defeat Akatsuki, a strong enemy, on the other hand, they also hope that Akatsuki can weaken Sand Ninja's strength to the greatest extent, so that Konoha can gain more benefits in the alliance with Sand Ninja.
At the end of the day, whether it's the real world or the anime world, interests are a very important diplomatic factor.
Think about it, a huge Konoha village, after the sand ninja sent a request for assistance, he actually only sent a team of upper ninja with three middle ninja to support, are you sure he was not mesmering me?
It was also thanks to Hinata's strength that the four people sent by Xiao did not leave all four of them dead here.
Replace it with any other Konoha team, I'm afraid that my Airo's tailed beast has been drawn out now.
Now it seems that Tsunade may have realized that the Akatsumi organization is not an opponent that Konoha can calmly calculate that the allies can win.
The newly sent reinforcements were Kaiban and Kakashiban.
Kakashi Hachiki, Maitkai, Ninji Hinata.
The combination of three upper ninjas leading the four middle ninjas is still a little perfunctory in terms of numbers, but judging from the lineup, Konoha has been able to show enough sincerity.
Aside from Ninji, who has not long been a shinobi, Kakashi and Kai are the top ninjas in Konoha Murakami, if Konoha is a green building and Tsunade is an old bustard, these two are the absolute top names.
Ahem, although this description is a bit cheating, it basically means that.
……
Kakashiban was able to form earlier than in the original plot, which is understandable to Hinata.
The Akatsuki organization had already begun to capture the Tailed Beast, and it was impossible for him to continue to wander around with Naruto.
After getting the news, Jiraiya sent Naruto back to Konoha as soon as possible.
Hinata can fully imagine how much saliva Tsunade would have to waste in order for Naruto to join Kakashiban as a ninja and continue his ninja activities.
All in all, it was really not easy for Naruto to appear in such a dangerous place as Sand Hidden Village now.
In the past two years, the main character Naruto has also changed quite a lot.
It's almost the same as Naruto from the Shippuden period.
The orange coat turned black and orange, but when he saw Hinata, he was even more surprised.
"Hey, hey! Are you Hinata? Is it so big that I haven't seen changes in two years...... Damn, why are you taller than me! ”
The corners of Hinata's mouth hooked slightly.
Of course, Lotte's character remains the same.
……
"What? All the people of Xiao have been completely destroyed? ”
Kakashi and Kai's eyes widened in surprise and couldn't help but look at Hinata.
Their expressions made Markey, who received them, a little stunned.
Kakashi and Kai, who were both Konoha ninjas, originally thought that they should have some understanding of Hinata's combat prowess, but now it seems that they are no different from their own side.
"Almost single-handedly exterminating the four members of the Xiao Organization, what a terrifying strength! No wonder she will become the target of Li Heningci's hard pursuit! Kai couldn't help but sigh.
"I see." Kakashi gave Hinata a deep look, but didn't say anything. "No wonder the third generation always says that Hinata has great strength, and sure enough, ......"
In the two years in the shadows, Hinata deliberately did not use Dust Escape in the presence of people.
One is to hide the strength, and the other is too troublesome.
The countrymen don't know the goods, they don't know the Vientiane Tianyin, and they say that the secret art they have developed can fool the past. But the dust is different, as the strongest trick of the earth shadow, this ninjutsu can be described as a famous name in the ninja world.
Hinata can't think of any reason or excuse to explain why she can use Dust Escape, you can't say that she suddenly learned it as soon as she closed her eyes, right?
The only one who has ever seen Hinata use Dust Escape is Orochimaru.
Orochimaru is not a big mouth, not to mention that in the past two years, although the dark part of Konoha has been executing the Orochimaru's extermination plan, many times it is still playing hide and seek, and there are very few times when he really goes head-to-head with Orochimaru.
So for a long time, even the people of Konoha didn't know that Hinata would actually escape this kind of ninjutsu.
Now that he is ready to send an arrow, he doesn't have to escape from the dust, and Hinata can't achieve such a proud record now.
As for the troublesome things that may happen next, Hinata doesn't bother to care, there is nothing more important than completing the task.
……
The reinforcements from Konoha were settled down after being warmly welcomed by the Sand Hidden Village.
Akatsuki's attack has been repulsed, and to be on the safe side, three of Konoha's squads, including Hinata's eighth squad, will stay in Sand Hidden Village for a while.
And in the evening, Naruto, who finally had some free time, asked Hinata out.
"Hinata, there's something I want to ask you."
With a rare look on his face, Hinata already knew roughly what he wanted to ask.
"After Sasuke followed Orochimaru, how is it now?"
"Who knows?" Hinata looked away and turned her head to look at the sandstorm that had already blown up at some point.
"I've heard Jiraiya-sensei say that Sasuke seems to have been taken over by Orochimaru and can be considered dead......" Naruto asked in a low voice. It is said that you were the first witness. ”
Hinata's brow furrowed.
Does this guy even dare to tell Naruto about this kind of thing?
She joined the Shadow Ministry to carry out the Orochimaru's extermination plan, which is an absolute secret, except for those high-ranking people in the village, only Asma, the second generation of the Red Congguan, has heard a little news.
Jiraiya, as one of the three ninjas, is naturally not surprising to know about his superior status, but when he tells Naruto about this, the problem is completely different.
As the protagonist of the Naruto anime, it is not an exaggeration to get any special treatment from the perspective of God.
But if you are in the ninja world and look at it from the perspective of a ninja...... Even if it is Zilai, once the matter is revealed, he will at least be scolded for a bloody squirt.
As if seeing what Hinata was thinking, Naruto said in a deep voice: "Don't blame Jiraiya-sensei, I used ** tricks to trick him into leaking his mouth when he was drunk." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Hinata sighed, "In that case, don't you already know?" What else do you ask me for? ”
"Because until now, I don't believe it!"
Naruto's voice trembled a little, "Sasuke, that guy...... That guy, how could he die so easily! ”
Hinata turned her head and looked directly into Naruto's azure eyes.
yes, how can nothing change?
No matter who you are, you will have different growth under different encounters!
"That's right, Sasuke is dead."
Not far away, around the corner, Sakura Haruno, who was leaning against the wall, covered her mouth and sat on the ground weakly, two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.
