Chapter 327 Meeting

Chapter 327 Meeting (Part )

In Jinying's office, both sides of the long table were filled with ninjas in white clothes, and there were more than twenty of them.

Sitting at the head of the long table was a ninja dressed in the same manner, but his white hair and white eyes made one feel at first glance that he was extraordinary.

This person was none other than Orochimaru who had been in seclusion for three years.

This appearance changed after he was promoted to Otsutsuki. If it weren't for the familiar aura on his body, others might not be able to recognize that this is Orochimaru.

His appearance and temperament have changed so much that even Tsunade and Jiraiya, who are most familiar with him, would probably not recognize him if they saw him.

Although everyone present was curious, they all knew that this was not the right time, and no one was so blind as to ask at this time.

"Is everyone here?"

Orochimaru supported his elbows on the conference table, propped his face up with his palms, and lazily glanced at everyone present.

Everyone who met his gaze straightened their backs. Orochimaru could do whatever he wanted, but they dared not follow his example.

You can be as easygoing as you want in private, but you still have to be careful in formal occasions. Even Kakuzu and Deidara, who are usually not serious, have to correct their attitude.

"They're all here. The officials and leaders from all the departments in the North are here!"

Ye Cang, who was in charge of coordinating the meeting, finally came to Orochimaru's position and sat down, signaling that the meeting could begin.

Orochimaru didn't hesitate and put his hands on the table to start the meeting.

"In the next year, the North will enter a state of war readiness. All departments must coordinate and organize themselves to serve the ninja with all their strength!"

It can be said that a single stone can cause a thousand ripples. When these words were spoken, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.

Those who were far away were whispering to each other. This situation was within Orochimaru's expectations. After all, it was a meeting, so they could still discuss things, and he couldn't have the final say.

"Sir, are you ready for war?"

The first one to ask was Deidara. It had been so long since he had any missions, and one could not imagine how uncomfortable he must be.

The others also focused their attention on Orochimaru, all wanting to know what the reason was.

Faced with pairs of excited, confused or worried eyes, Orochimaru did not keep them in suspense.

"The ninja world will be in turmoil in the coming year. Who knows, there might be a ninja war at the end of this year or next year!"

"ah……?!"

"Is it true? Is the Fourth Ninja World War coming?"

"Is there another ninja village that can't hold back any longer?"

This news was indeed a bit shocking to them, but if you think about it carefully, it was both unexpected and reasonable.

Many people present here have experienced the Ninja War, and some have even experienced it more than once, like Kakuzu, Mifune, Fuuka Nuto and other older people.

They just couldn't have imagined that only twenty years had passed and the Ninja War was about to begin again. It turned out that war was the norm in the Ninja world.

"quiet!"

Ye Cang tapped the table with his fingers, signaling everyone to be quiet. Everyone immediately fell silent after hearing the sound.

"Lord Jinying, is this information reliable? Who is the enemy?"

Man Yue Kizuna, who was sitting opposite Ye Cang, asked the doubts in everyone's mind. Orochimaru would give them an explanation without them asking, otherwise his groundless words would be hard to convince everyone.

"The scale of this ninja war will be larger than ever before, and all five major nations will be involved..."

Next, Orochimaru began to tell the news that could be said under the current circumstances. After all, many things have not happened yet and he would not exaggerate.

Overthinking about the future is equivalent to killing yourself in the present!

"Akatsuki? Is there still such a powerful organization in the ninja world?"

The usually calm Kakuzu couldn't help but speak after hearing this. Although he was not warlike, he was very eager for a strong opponent.

Normally, when I have time in the village, I practice with people like Mangetsu Kizuki and Kakuzu, but after a long time, we know each other well and I always feel that there is a lack of novelty.

Orochimaru looked meaningfully at this little brother who was loyal to the organization in the original work, and the latter also felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"I can't tell you the details of this organization right now. You don't have to believe me even if I tell you. But there will definitely be big moves in the next year!"

Picking up the cup of water beside him to moisten his throat, Orochimaru continued:

"Their target is the tailed beasts of each village. Their ultimate goal is to use the power of the tailed beasts to unify the ninja world!"

After hearing this, everyone started talking again, and finally their eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Fu who was sitting at the end.

Fu, who was already a little nervous about being called to attend this kind of meeting, turned slightly pale when she heard the news directed at her.

Although we still don’t know the strength of the Akatsuki organization, it must be something that can make the Golden Shadow hold a meeting to discuss it.

Just when she was feeling uneasy, a small white hand held her.

"Don't worry! Since you know the other party's purpose, you must have been prepared."

Sure enough, at this time, Orochimaru's voice was heard again.

"For the next year, Xiaofu, you will stay in the village, and Hydrangea, you will be responsible for protecting her."

Now Hydrangea has already learned Flying Thunder God. Although it is only the entry level, and she has not yet learned the second stage of Flying Thunder God, she can still teleport or lead others to teleport a few times.

She is just a layer of protection; the secret protection of the Shadow Guards is the most important.

After receiving the order, Hydrangea beside Xiaofu nodded quickly. Only then did the others know why these two people were called to this meeting.

Although their identities are somewhat special, one is a Jinchūriki and the other has learned space-time ninjutsu, they are only special jonin and have not touched the core of power in the north.

"As for the Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails, the enemy will probably come with great force. I allow you to fully transform into a tailed beast if you are threatened!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell silent. There was no discussion, no whispering, and everyone looked at Xiao Fu with some surprise.

The person involved, Xiao Fu, was also shocked by the news. Although she and Shigeaki had a good relationship over the years, they were still a long way from complete reconciliation and becoming the perfect Jinchūriki.

It would be fine if you were mentally prepared and had communicated with Chongming in advance. But if he suddenly transforms into a tailed beast, it would be difficult to control his temper.

Especially in a village, if it really goes crazy, the consequences will be very serious. The Nine-Tailed Fox in Konoha is an example.

As if he could see the worry in everyone's eyes, Orochimaru smiled.

"Don't worry! As long as Xiaofu is still in the village, there will be no trouble. Even if the Jinchūriki riots at that time, it doesn't matter! Besides, everyone here should not be afraid of the tailed beasts, right?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, yes! Not to mention that their Golden Shadow's strength is unfathomable, even these backbones have the strength of Shadow or Quasi-Shadow level.

A mere tailed beast cannot scare them. What they should be more concerned about is the enemy that will attack them at that time.

"But having said that, the village still needs to form an emergency team. Kisame will be in charge of this, and the personnel can be transferred from the Shadow Secret Guard or the Security Department!"

After receiving the order, Kisame nodded in response. He was capable enough for this position.

Finally, Orochimaru talked about some plans about preparing the army, strengthening ninja training, and improving ninja strength.

He has to do more than just deal with the Akatsuki organization. He doesn't care about Six Paths Madara, Six Paths Obito, or even Kaguya.

What Orochimaru has to do is to take advantage of the momentum of the Fourth War to make the ninja world have only one voice!
