Chapter 579: The Moon Eye Plan in Advance!
After the meeting room was completely sealed, Minato rested his hands on the table, slightly covering his chin, and said solemnly: "The main content of this meeting is in the document in front of you. Please take a look first. The information can ensure its authenticity!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's brows, which had been furrowed since they saw Shiro, furrowed even deeper.
Those who participated in the meeting were basically the high-level officials of Konoha, such as the Third Iron Pillar and two advisory elders, followed by the Three Ninjas, the heads of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, the representative of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan Nara Shikaku, the representative of the Research Department Nara Shikaaki, and the leader of the Jonin squad Uchiha Taichi.
These people, together with Shiro and Minato, are the absolute top leaders of Konoha today, and they are the ones who will never betray the village under any circumstances.
Of course, Dai is actually qualified to participate, but his personality is not suitable.
Therefore, everyone present knew very well the significance of Shiro's appearance here. After all, they knew why Shiro had been living in seclusion for all these years. Therefore, after hearing Minato's words, their hearts sank.
Without asking any questions, everyone picked up the document and started reading it silently. After a moment, everyone looked at Orochimaru in shock.
"Bang! You bastard Orochimaru! What did you do?!"
The angry Tsunade smashed the table and looked at Orochimaru angrily.
Orochimaru frowned and turned his eyes away from the document, looking at Tsunade calmly: "Calm down, Tsunade, have you forgotten the most basic qualities of a ninja? Also, you should know very well that I will not touch him. After all, he is your former lover."
"That's right Tsunade, calm down first. If Dan was really resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation, then Minato would not have summoned us here."
Jiraiya first frowned and pulled the furious Tsunade back to her position, then looked at Orochimaru in confusion, "Have you taught the Impure World Reincarnation?"
It's no wonder they reacted this way. Intelligence shows that several Impure World Ninjas have recently attacked the Jinchūriki of the other three ninja villages. The Four-Tails of the Iwagakure and the Five-Tails of the Kirigakure were taken away quietly.
Killer Bee of Kumogakure was also attacked, but the opponent did not expect that Killer Bee was a perfect Jinchūriki, and the method of influencing Jinchūriki through the tailed beasts did not work, so he was killed by Killer Bee.
That's how their identities as Impure World Ninjas were exposed. One of them was Tsunade's former lover, Kato Dan!
Orochimaru didn't answer Jiraiya, but looked at Shiro who was frowning: "Could it be him?"
"That's probably it. He's the one who can do the Impure World Reincarnation, has a special understanding of the tailed beasts, and can even interfere with the Jinchūriki's state. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else."
"Will he also?"
"No! Although he didn't have time to use all his strength last time, I can guarantee that he didn't reach this level. He might have found a new way to resurrect."
"Wait!" Jiraiya looked at Shiro and Orochimaru suspiciously, "Are you two hiding something from us?"
Shiro paused and did not answer, but turned to look at Minato. If it was just Jiraiya alone, it would be fine to talk to him, but there were other people here.
But it was obvious that since Minato had called them here, he had no intention of keeping the secret from them any longer, so he nodded slightly in response to Shirou's question.
After receiving the instruction, Shiro glanced at everyone present, his gaze lingering on Fugaku for a moment longer. "This matter has to start from the end of the Third World War. Weren't you curious about how I got injured at that time?"
The Sandaime put down his pipe and looked at Shiro with a frown: "So, your injury wasn't caused by going with Orochimaru to fight Nagato?"
"Of course not. Nagato may be strong, but he's not strong enough to take on me and Orochimaru-senpai together. I have another mission."
"Wait!" Utane Koharu interrupted Shiro before he could finish. "You said Nagato Orochimaru could fight alone? Then why did you hide it in the first place? An organization that directly attacks a village should be wiped out!"
"Well, there are other reasons. We'll talk about it later." Shiro glanced at Jiraiya with his eyes lowered and changed the subject.
"The person I went to deal with at that time was Uchiha Madara~"
"What!?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Shiro in dismay. It was because the name Uchiha Madara shocked them so much. He was a figure as famous as the first generation!
However, Tsunade reacted immediately and asked hurriedly: "That's not right, wasn't he killed by my grandfather a long time ago? Why?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shiro. This was also their doubt. The first generation would not lie to them, and given his situation at the time, it was even more impossible for him to lie to them.
Otherwise, if the first generation died and the village had no defense against Madara, there would be a big problem.
"Why? Sorry, this involves some Uchiha secrets, so I can't tell you. But he was indeed alive at the time. However, the battle with the First Generation also left him seriously injured, so he had no time to cause trouble for us in Konoha.
This is why I was lucky enough to win. After the battle, I gave part of Madara's tissue to Senior Orochimaru, intending to reincarnate it and seal it away. Unfortunately, I failed and someone else got there first."
"So, Uchiha Madara is still alive, and in an immortal state of Impure World Reincarnation, right?"
"For such a big matter, why don't you discuss it first before acting on your own?" Following Mitomon En, Utane Koharu asked again.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Shiro and Orochimaru's unauthorized actions. Although the third generation didn't say anything, his ugly expression showed the same meaning.
He was the Hokage at that time, but these two people acted on their own without saying anything about such a big thing. The key point is that if they succeeded, it would be fine, but they failed, leaving such a huge hidden danger to the village. How could the Third Hokage have a good face?
"Discuss? With whom? You? What's the point of you going there if I can't even handle it? Besides, with all due respect, your anti-detection capabilities are like nothing compared to him. By the time you finish discussing, the people will have already moved away."
Faced with Shiro's disdain, Xiaochun wanted to refute, but the words could not come out.
After all, this is the truth. Although their strength is good, it is far behind Uchiha Madara.
"So, the attack on the Jinchūriki's Impure World Ninja was done by Madara?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit explosive, Shikaku quickly diverted everyone's attention.
"Well, that's pretty close. Apart from us, he's the only one in the ninja world who can access Impure World Reincarnation. Even the Sunagakure can only use some crappy summoning techniques at the moment."
Shiro shook his head and, while answering Shikaku, revealed a surprising piece of information. Of course, this would be considered a big deal under normal circumstances, but now, no one cared.
"But what does he want? The power of the tailed beasts shouldn't be a big deal to Madara, right? Even if he wanted to take it, it should be the Nine-Tails, right?"
Shiro didn't answer Shikaku's question, but instead turned his gaze towards Minato.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Minato, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke:
"Madara, it's for the Moon Eye Project!"
