Chapter 57 Meeting

In the next few days, Qing Ming paid attention to the changes in the camp and found some problems.

First of all, the number of ninjas in the base camp continues to increase, and many of them look dusty, and they look like they are on their way.

Combined with the group of people he met a few days ago, Qing Ming had reason to suspect that these people were all rushed back from the frontline strongholds.

Secondly, the base camp’s external communication channels have been tightened, and anyone or anything entering or exiting needs to undergo several inspections.

Even the training ground is not allowed to go now.

There is also a perception barrier covering the entire camp, which is open around the clock. Any slightest movement may attract the attention of the patrolling troops.

With all this going on, he wouldn't believe it if there wasn't going to be any big move to kill Qing Ming.

‘Forget it, don’t think about this anymore, just continue practicing. ’

Shaking his head, Qing Ming retracted his thoughts and began to continue his practice.

Now that he couldn't go to the training ground, he simply used all his chakra on practicing the 'Yingxin Jutsu'.

In this way, you can gain more than 30 points of proficiency every day, which is converted into Sharingan progress, which is six points.

Seeing the subsequent progress improving little by little, Qing Ming didn't feel bored at all, but felt very at ease.

Just like that, another three days passed.

·····

This afternoon.

Center of base camp.

Inside a tent.

A dozen Konoha Jonin gathered together and sat on both sides of the long table in silence.

After a moment, a thin man with pale skin opened the door curtain, walked in, and sat directly on the seat at the top.

At the same time, everyone on both sides of the long table stood up and greeted, "Lord Orochimaru!"

"Um."

Orochimaru nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then, he directly asked: "Are all the personnel in place?"

Hearing this, a Konoha jounin immediately stood up and said: "Sir, as of an hour ago, 90% of the scheduled people have arrived, and the remaining people will return before tonight."

"good."

Orochimaru replied calmly, then looked at the other person and said, "How is the news blocked?"

Seeing Orochimaru looking over, the Konoha jounin felt a little nervous, but he quickly replied: "There is no sign of intelligence leakage yet, but..."

"But what?"

Orochimaru asked.

"Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village seem to have noticed something. In the past few days, the peripheral patrol troops have discovered several waves of people trying to infiltrate." Konoha Jonin replied.

"Is this so"

Orochimaru groaned and said: "This is normal. After all, we have transferred so many people back from the front line. As long as the other party is not blind, they will always find some abnormalities. Just make sure that the action plan is not leaked."

After hearing this, the Konoha jounin immediately assured: "Don't worry, sir, the information will definitely not be leaked."

"Um."

Orochimaru nodded. He believed in this subordinate's ability. Since he made such a guarantee, it meant that the situation was under control.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at the corner of the tent and asked, "Where are you?"

Everyone followed his gaze and saw that at some point, there was an additional figure wrapped in a black robe.

This person is none other than Konoha ANBU, no, to be more precise, he is a ninja from the Root Organization under Danzo.

Compared to ANBU ninjas, the ninjas of the Root organization are more cold-blooded and ruthless.

In order to complete the mission, they can sacrifice everything, including but not limited to their own lives, and are veritable mission tools.

Orochimaru took these people over from Danzo in order to cooperate with him and complete this revenge plan.

Yes, it was revenge, revenge for the raid launched by Iwagakure and Sunagakure more than a month ago.

The previous full-line offensive was just the foreshadowing of this plan, and the next action was the focus.

However, to face two major ninja villages at the same time, Konoha's military strength on the Rain Country battlefield was obviously somewhat inadequate.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Orochimaru finally set his target on Iwagakure Village, which had a higher hatred.

However, Sunagakure Village cannot ignore that the two villages briefly joined forces last time, and no one can guarantee that they will not join forces this time.

Even if they don't join forces, if they take action here, the base camp will definitely be empty. If Sunagakure Village steals their home, it will be great fun.

And if they want to keep Sand Hidden Village from moving, they must cause some trouble to distract their energy.

Orochimaru mobilized the ninjas to come here just to do this.

At this time, upon hearing Orochimaru's inquiry, the black-robed man immediately replied: "Everything is ready. After the plan begins, several important figures in Sunagakure Village in the Country of Rain will be assassinated."

Yes, Orochimaru's plan is that simple and crude.

As long as the ninjas of the Root Organization can assassinate one or two important figures, the command system of Sunagakure Village will inevitably be in chaos for a while.

By the time they reacted and reorganized their command system, their operations would have been over long ago, and they would not be afraid that the other party would take advantage of them.

As for whether the assassination can be successful?

If an ANBU ninja were to execute it, Orochimaru might still be worried, but if it was a ninja from the Root Organization, there was no need to worry.

With the power of the root organization, if the whereabouts of the target person are known, not to mention 100% assassination success, there is at least a 50% to 60% success rate.

Orochimaru didn't expect the Root to eliminate all the target people, because that was unrealistic.

No matter how weak the Sand Village was, it was still one of the five major ninja villages. It was not so easy to assassinate important people in such a village.

But as long as he could successfully assassinate a few people, his plan would go smoothly.

And that was enough.

After making sure that everything was ready, Orochimaru no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "You go down and prepare immediately. Action will be on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Yes!"

In the tent, more than a dozen Konoha senior ninjas responded in unison.

Orochimaru waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Soon, the tent became empty.

At this time, Orochimaru rubbed his eyebrows hard, and his face rarely showed a trace of fatigue.

To be honest, he didn't like doing these things. Compared with dealing with these "miscellaneous tasks", he preferred to study ninjutsu and explore the secret of immortality.

But as a disciple of the Third Hokage, he has the responsibility and obligation to share the pressure for his teacher. Just like Jiraiya is in charge of the battlefield in the Land of Wind, he needs to be in charge in the Land of Rain.

"It would be great if there was no war!"

Thinking of his dead parents, best friends and apprentices, Orochimaru couldn't help but murmur.

Inexplicably, he felt a little irritated and couldn't help wanting to throw away everything and concentrate on his favorite work.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.

Closing his eyes and emptying his mind, Orochimaru tried his best to calm himself down.

Suddenly, the only sound left in the tent was his subtle breathing.
