Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

He wasn't captivated by Sakura Haruno as depicted in the original story.

Instead, he suddenly realized that Sakura Haruno's current appearance did not match his memory of the original plot.

In the original work, Sakura Haruno did not like Naruto when she was in the Ninja Academy, and even felt some disgust towards him.

Furthermore, Sakura Haruno's short hair was cut during the Chunin Exams, not while she was studying at the Ninja Academy.

Sakura Haruno's behavior, so different from that in the original work, immediately sharpened Naruto's gaze.

Chapter 336 Hinata

A classroom at the Ninja Academy in Konoha Village.

Hinata, with a delicate expression, rested her chin on her hand and looked at Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's clones.

"What have these three guys been doing these days? They're not attending classes, just sending their clones to fool the teacher."

After the three learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, they sent out shadow clones that were almost identical to their original bodies for the lesson.

These clones will not dissipate unless subjected to a violent impact.

Shadow Clone Jutsu is an extremely overpowered ninjutsu in the original work. Among all the times Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu, only Madara Uchiha could see through the difference between the clone and the original at a glance.

During the Chunin Exams, Neji's Byakugan couldn't see through Naruto's shadow clones.

When fighting Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra, she also failed to recognize Naruto's shadow clone, thinking that the one with the Truth-Seeking Balls behind him was Naruto's real body, only to find out that it was also a clone.

However, even such a powerful shadow clone could not escape the notice of the enigmatic Hinata.

Because Hinata inherited the fighter profession from birth, her level increases by five levels every year she grows older.

At the age of ten, Hinata had already reached level fifty and awakened the skill of the God of War - God of War Kick.

With just one kick, even Madara Uchiha in his sixth Path would have to kneel. Its power is in no way inferior to Might Guy's kick, and may even be more powerful.

Hinata is now twelve years old and has reached level sixty. In the original story, her strength would make her an invincible powerhouse who could sweep across the ninja world and easily defeat the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya.

Even in a world where all twelve Konoha 11 are overpowered, Hinata is still stronger than everyone else at this stage.

After Hinata became a fighter, she mastered the ability of "ki" and could sense the flow of all ki.

It was through this ability that she discovered something was wrong with Naruto and the others.

If only Naruto sent a clone to class, Hinata wouldn't be so curious; she would just think Naruto was simply skipping class.

But now even Sakura Haruno and Sasuke aren't coming to class, which surprised her.

Sasuke and Sakura Haruno are top students in their class, so it would be very strange if they didn't attend classes.

"I've tolerated these three guys for so long, but I can't hold back anymore. I have to see what they're up to!"

Hinata clenched her little fist and, taking advantage of Iruka-sensei's inattention, secretly created a clone that stayed behind to attend class, while her main body escaped from the school.

Hinata's mastery of "ki" can also be used to sense and locate objects. By sensing their aura, she pinpointed the location of the Forest of Death and determined that the three of them were in the Forest of Death.

……

Inside the cave in the Forest of Death, Naruto and Sasuke were both watching Sakura's actions closely.

Just one day earlier, their rice seed experiment was finally completed, and they found the gene that enables high rice yields.

Xiaoying is now using instruments to piece together this gene so that these rice varieties can achieve stable high yields for three generations before degenerating.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy, and the three people's breathing could be clearly heard in the cave.

Their attention was focused on the experiment, and they were completely unaware of the intruders outside.

Hinata perfectly concealed her presence and quietly entered the cave.

What came into her view was a vast expanse of rice paddies.

"Is this a rice paddy? Are they researching rice?"

Hinata was puzzled. Why would these three give up being ninjas to grow rice? Were they going to become farmers?

She remained silent, quietly standing behind Sakura, watching the three of them stare at the instrument.

Suddenly, Xiao Yingmeng raised her right hand and shouted, "Success! The high-yield rice variety has been successfully developed!"

"Really?" Sasuke and Naruto asked excitedly.

“Really, I have obtained the samples I wanted. From now on, we can use this genetic data to grow enough high-yield rice mother plants,” Sakura replied confidently.

Sasuke and Naruto then joined in the cheering.

"Great! The experiment was a success! I don't have to do farm work anymore!" Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto excitedly whispered, "The goal of controlling the agriculture and economy of other countries can finally be achieved."

Upon hearing Naruto mention controlling other countries' agriculture and economy, Hinata suddenly frowned and abruptly asked, "What do you mean? Are you hiding here researching rice to manipulate other countries' agriculture and economy?"

Hinata's words startled the three of them.

They all considered themselves geniuses and strongmen, but when someone stood behind them, they were completely unaware of him. It was truly terrifying.

You should know that Sakura has set up a sealing barrier on this cave, and anyone who dares to trespass will definitely not be able to escape Sakura's magic.

Furthermore, Sasuke's magnetic field perception ability has always been passively activated. He can detect even a mosquito approaching him.

Next is Naruto. Having mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, his spiritual senses have been enhanced, allowing him to detect danger in advance, much like a cicada sensing the coming autumn wind.

But none of the three of them have detected the newcomer. Doesn't that mean that the other party's strength and realm are far above theirs?

The three of them stiffly turned around and looked at the intruder.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, they all gasped in surprise:

"Hinata!" x3

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?" Hinata chuckled, her hands behind her back, like a harmless little white flower.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

I wouldn't say I was surprised, but I was definitely frightened.

Since it was Hinata, the three of them could accept being touched on the back by her without even noticing.

Sasuke and Naruto had a vague sense of Hinata's strength, and felt that Hinata was hiding her power, and that her true strength was far above theirs.

Now!

No need to guess, Hinata has indeed far surpassed them.

"What have you three been doing all this time, hiding in this cave researching rice?" Hinata asked Naruto. "And Naruto, you just said you wanted to use this rice to control other countries' agriculture and economy. What do you mean by that? Can you tell me?"

The three exchanged a glance. Neither Sasuke nor Naruto spoke, leaving the explanation to Sakura Haruno.

Hinata is not an untrustworthy person. Since she has seen it, we might as well tell her everything and bring Hinata into the plan as well.

If they want to control the agriculture of other countries, food alone is not enough. They also lack money to manipulate the market and drive down the food prices of other countries.

The Hyuga family happens to run the Hyuga Group and the Hanada Group, control nearly half of the banks and casinos in the Land of Fire, and operate several excellent ports, cinemas, and real estate companies. Their wealth is terrifyingly large.

If they could get help from the Hinata and Hanada groups, their plan could be implemented more quickly.

Sakura Haruno explained her plan to Hinata in detail.

Hinata listened with her eyes shining.

When she learned that Sakura Haruno wanted to promote high-yield rice to get other countries to buy her rice seeds, she immediately realized what a huge conspiracy and scheme this was.

"Count me in! I want to join you all!" Hinata abandoned her gentle demeanor, her aura becoming as imposing as a Valkyrie.

"If you let me join, you will get the full support of the Huatian Group. You should know that I control 90% of the shares of the Huatian Group. With just one decision, the Huatian Group will devote all its resources to helping you."

Obtaining financial assistance from the Hanada Group was Sakura Haruno's original goal.

She smiled gently, extended her hand, and slowly shook hands with Hinata, a fox-like expression appearing in her eyes: "Hinata, welcome to the team."

Hinata squeezed Sakura's hand, blinked her bright eyes, and said, "It's a pleasure working with you!"

Looking at these two adorable girls, he revealed an expression as cunning as a wolf and as sly as a fox.

Sasuke couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself, "Girls these days, why are they all so cunning and scary!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno and Hinata both glared at Sasuke.

Sasuke felt a murderous aura slicing across his neck like a steel knife.

Sasuke's aloof and handsome persona instantly crumbled, and he shrank back like a deer.

As for Naruto, he wisely chose to ignore the two little foxes' plot.

He mastered the divine skill of observing his nose with his eyes, observing his heart with his nose, and letting his mind wander to the heavens without any teacher.

Chapter 337 Meeting with the Nine-Tails

With Hinata joining them, the three of them had an instantly easier time with their work.

All they need to do is hand over the research results on the rice seeds, and Huatian Group will have professionals to expand the cultivation of high-yield rice.

Now, all three of them have become technology investors, each holding five percent of the shares in the Huatian Group.

Don't underestimate these shares.

The Hanada Group is a behemoth in the Land of Fire. If they choose to sell this 5% stake, it could instantly fetch tens or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

But they're not stupid. They can earn 100 million taels of silver every year just from these share dividends, so why would they sell them?

Hinata gave them a lot of shares.

But compared to the benefits of high-yield rice, it's nothing.

The grain industry is a business that can be done in the long run, unlike the film and real estate industries, which are always at risk of losing money.

Humans always need to eat, even powerful beings like ninjas who possess extraordinary abilities must eat.

Once the Flower Field Group can monopolize rice cultivation throughout the entire ninja world, there will be absolutely no possibility of losing money.

The three of them thought they had made a huge profit, but Hinata never lost out.

After entrusting the high-yield rice project to Huatian Group, the three of them suddenly found themselves with much more leisure time.

When giving the three individuals some shares, the Huatian Group also provided them with a significant amount of cash.
