Hiss!
As Uchiha Jin spoke, everyone present instantly gasped.
Although everyone had been mentally prepared for this, truly hearing that the Six Paths Sage was coming still left them feeling inexplicably shocked.
However, when they looked at Uchiha Jin, who was still sitting calmly at the head of the table, their tension mysteriously subsided.
Seeing this, Lin Mo was very happy.
"Not bad! They weren't scared off by that so-called Six Paths Sage; it seems my status in their hearts is still quite secure."
Thinking of this, he immediately spoke again.
"You don't need to worry about that Six Paths Sage."
"Once the war truly begins, I will naturally be the one to hold off that Six Paths Sage."
"Now that everyone understands the situation, I will proceed to issue the missions."
"First, the first one."
"Senju Tobirama and Minato Namikaze will lead the team, with Kakashi, Tsunade, and Orochimaru assisting. Capture Obito and bring him back in the shortest time possible."
"To prevent Obito from joining the Six Paths Sage's faction, you must resolve this matter within ten days."
"As for Obito, there is no need to kill him for now!"
"I promised Rin Nohara that I would spare Obito's life. Bring him back and lock him up for now."
"The second matter..."
"Uchiha Madara, you should know that Black Zetsu has hidden one hundred thousand White Zetsu."
"Therefore, Uchiha Madara, you will team up with Senju Hashirama. Take Sakumo Hatake, Uzumaki Mito, Kushina, a portion of the Hyuga troops, and a full Anbu division, and do everything possible to find the hiding place of the White Zetsu."
"To prevent the Six Paths Sage from using these White Zetsu to perform Edo Tensei on the souls of many powerful individuals from the Pure Land, you must find and seal that batch of White Zetsu before the Six Paths Sage arrives."
"If you encounter any problems along the way, notify me via summoning animals, and I will take action personally!"
"Next, the third matter."
"Nagato, take the various powerful members of the Akatsuki Organization, along with a Hyuga unit, plus Ōnoki, Rasa, and Mei Terumī. I will also provide you with a full Anbu division. You are to secretly search the entire Ninja World continent for a force called the Kara Organization."
"This mission is strictly confidential!"
"The leader of the Kara Organization is called Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. He is an existence even more powerful than the Six Paths Sage, with strength definitely not inferior to the Goddess of Birth, Kaguya. Therefore, you must exercise extreme caution during your investigation."
"I don't know much about the Kara Organization; I only know that their leader currently walks the Ninja World under the alias of a monk named Jigen."
"It doesn't matter if you don't find him, but if you do, do not alert him."
"Report back immediately; there is no need to monitor him!"
The meeting room was deathly silent.
Everyone sat in their seats, listening to Uchiha Jin, the Hokage, speak eloquently.
Communication? Discussion? Absolutely none! And none was needed!
While they could discuss some matters, in the face of such major issues, Uchiha Jin was an absolute dictator.
And regarding this, no one present had any objections; they were all willing to follow Uchiha Jin's rules.
Of course, this wasn't because Uchiha Jin had great charisma as a leader, but simply because Uchiha Jin was strong enough that even by himself, he suppressed everyone's hidden agendas.
However, hearing Uchiha Jin's orders now had completely shattered their hidden agendas, and a look of horror even appeared on everyone's faces.
What on earth? Capturing Obito was one thing, but what were one hundred thousand White Zetsu?
Even without knowing how strong those things were, the fact that they could perform Edo Tensei on the souls of many past powerhouses was enough to make everyone's scalp tingle.
Especially the last point—what the hell was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?
Just listen to that. He was an existence far surpassing the Six Paths Sage, with strength not inferior to the Goddess of Birth, Kaguya.
Wait... what the hell was Kaguya?
For a moment, everyone was a bit confused. Was this still the Ninja World they were familiar with?
In the past, the Kage of each Village was the strongest; people like Rasa and Mei Terumī were considered top-tier powerhouses. The Third Hokage dared to call himself the strongest Hokage, and the Third Raikage could make that "strongest Hokage" Hiruzen Sarutobi wary, even forcing him to play the coward when faced with provocation...
But what about now? Uchiha Jin, the Six Paths Sage, Kaguya, and Isshiki—let alone these Six Paths Level existences—even Super Kage Level powerhouses like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were everywhere. And what the hell did that make them, the Kage Level fighters?
Grunts? Cannon fodder?
As for the Jonin below Kage Level, who used to be the core experts of the Villages, could they not even be considered grunts now?
Sigh! Thinking of this, everyone felt helplessly terrified.
They instantly felt that the world had changed too quickly, so quickly that they couldn't even react.
Especially people like Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kakashi, who now felt a sense of urgency. Before, they were undoubtedly the pillars of the Village, but now they suddenly realized that with their current strength, they weren't even qualified to join the battlefield?
At this moment, they all secretly made up their minds to strengthen their training as much as possible and must improve their strength as much as they could.
Even Orochimaru, that great scientist, decided to temporarily put immortality on the back burner; at this stage, the priority was to find a way to improve his strength.
On the other side, just as everyone was silently contemplating, Uchiha Jin's voice came again.
"Everyone, in fifteen days!"
"All powerhouses at Kage Level and above are to put down all their current work and use the Flying Thunder God teleportation formation to head to the depths of the Cloud-Thunder Gorge mountains in what was formerly the Land of Lightning, now the Lightning Province."
"The scope of this battle will surely be vast, so we cannot have the battlefield in a densely populated area."
"The Cloud-Thunder Gorge mountains are just right!"
"As for the work you have on hand, just hand it over to your deputies to handle temporarily."
"This meeting is now concluded!"
"The content of this meeting is strictly prohibited from being disclosed to members below Kage Level."
"After you go back, make preparations early!"
After speaking, Uchiha Jin stood up and left immediately, and the core high-level officials followed closely behind.
As they left, the others also departed in twos and threes, but no one's expression was good.
No choice! The content of this meeting was too hardcore, and the intelligence involved was even more terrifying.
Senju Tobirama's eyes were complex.
After the group left the Hokage Building, he looked back at the Hokage Office, and his gaze instantly became extremely complex.
He had long noticed that Uchiha Jin was training hard every day. In the past, he really didn't understand and couldn't figure out why Uchiha Jin had to try so hard.
After all, he was already strong enough, wasn't he?
Not to mention himself, even his older brother Senju Hashirama rarely trained after founding Konoha. Only this freak Uchiha Jin, who was clearly already stronger than his older brother, was still training every day...
Now? He understood completely!
He hadn't expected that so many cunning old schemers were hidden in the shadows of the Ninja World.
Sigh! Thinking of this, he let out a sigh. In his heart, he wanted to be resurrected as soon as possible so that he could train as much as possible.
He, Senju Tobirama, was also very proud, and naturally, he would absolutely not allow himself to be just a grunt in the wars to come!
