This time, Orochimaru did not summon all the Jonin of Konoha, but only summoned a few Jonin who held important positions on the current battlefield.
Big meetings are held for small matters, and small meetings are held for big matters. Since the decisions made at the meeting will affect the final outcome of the entire battlefield, the content of the meeting itself is confidential.
In addition to Mu Yue, Orochimaru only invited five Konoha jonin to attend this important confidential meeting.
These five jonin are Hinata Hizashi, who is the squad leader of the perception squad, and all members of Ino-Shika-Chou. It is worth mentioning that Nara Shikaku is the deputy commander of the team, and the last jonin is the squad leader of the medical squad responsible for logistics and medical care.
"Just today, the team that Mu Yue-jun, Might Dai, and Mu Yue-jun's disciples were in had an encounter with Mizunotsuki Han and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Mizunotsuki Han, Muri Jinpachi, Tongcao Yabairen, Heichu Leiya, Qingti Fengyu, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and other Mist Hidden Ninjas were killed on the spot. Among them, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost was killed by Mu Yuejun's disciples, and the rest of the ninjas were all killed by Mu Yuejun. "
Orochimaru didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told Mu Yue and the others the results of their battle.
Orochimaru did not use any exaggerated descriptions or rhetoric to embellish his words, but simply described Mu Yue's victory in a straightforward manner. All the ninjas in the tent except Orochimaru and Mu Yue had their pupils contracted and expressions of shock that were difficult to conceal on their faces.
In other words, it was the commander of the army, Orochimaru, who said this. If any other ninja came, they would probably doubt the authenticity of his words.
There's nothing else to it, the content is just too horrifying.
It is like being in a war and suddenly finding out that you have destroyed the enemy's elite troops. You feel a dreamlike sense of happiness.
This feeling is particularly obvious for a smart man like Nara Shikaku, because he clearly did not make any combat arrangements, but Mu Yue created such a result.
Fighting a war does not just require strength, otherwise each village would not have to send so many ninjas. Just sending a few top warriors would be enough.
Even if you are strong, you have to be able to find the person. If you can't find the person, no matter how strong you are, you can't kill the other party. This involves other things related to the war.
"This is truly a battle that combines both strength and luck." Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly.
It was Mu Yue's luck that he directly encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and Mizunotsuki Kan who did not bring many ninjas with them, but it was Mu Yue's strength that enabled him to defeat them. Both were indispensable. Without one of them, it would be impossible to create such a result, and it might even be a loss for Konoha.
"It seems that we have to re-evaluate Hanyu Muyue's strength. His strength is probably not much different from Lord Orochimaru. Maybe he can hold back Karajima Yagura on the battlefield." Nara Shikaku subconsciously thought of the tactical arrangements.
Although there was some information about Mu Yue, there was a lot of uncertainty among the ninjas. At the beginning, Nara Shikaku didn't know whether Mu Yue could defeat Mizunotsuki Kan or Kidsuki Hozumi.
But judging from Mu Yue's latest battle record, Mu Yue is definitely much stronger than Mizunotsuki Han and the others, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fight against Mizunotsuki Han and take down four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen at the same time. Therefore, Nara Shikaku estimated that Mu Yue's combat power is slightly inferior to top-level masters such as Orochimaru, Karatachi and Yagura.
"What a scary record." Shan Zhonghai looked at Mu Yue with some surprise.
In terms of age, Mu Yue is his junior, but he is afraid that he will never be able to surpass Mu Yue's achievements in his lifetime.
After all, the secret techniques of their Yamanaka clan are more auxiliary, and there are basically no ninjas who are very strong in single combat.
Not to mention him alone, Yamanaka Inoichi thought that even the Ino, Deer and Chou of their generation combined might not be able to do it.
Yamanaka Inoichi was very aware of their strength. If they worked together to temporarily hold back Mizunotsuki Kan or Hozumi Zangetsu, it would be OK. But if they wanted to win, that would be too much. If a few more Seven Ninja Swordsmen were added, they would definitely die miserably.
Of course, it would be difficult for even Orochimaru to achieve this level of results in a battle encounter.
It's not that Orochimaru lacks strength, but it's very rare for him to encounter such a situation.
"Awesome." Qiu Daoding gave Mu Yue a thumbs up.
He did not associate the outcome of Mu Yue's encounter with the impact on the entire battlefield. He just felt that Mu Yue was very strong because he could defeat so many strong men.
Hinata Hizashi looked at Mu Yue with admiration in his eyes. Although he had basically no impression of Mu Yue before today, this did not prevent Hinata Hizashi from admiring Mu Yue now.
The ninja world has always been a place where the strong are respected. Mu Yue not only demonstrated great strength, but also made great contributions to Konoha. It is difficult for Hinata Hizashi not to admire Mu Yue.
If he had the same strength as Mu Yue, perhaps the Hyuga family could see some changes.
Orochimaru was not surprised at the surprised expressions of the ninjas present. You know, this was information that even he couldn't help but be surprised about.
"Before discussing the next battle plan, I would like to ask, Mr. Mu Yue, how many of your disciples can still fight at their full strength, and to what extent Might Dai can fight again." Orochimaru looked at Mu Yue and asked.
It was not only Mu Yue who performed amazingly in this encounter. Mu Yue's disciples and Might Dai also performed very frighteningly.
Although they were all Chunins, they fought off the Seven Ninja Swordsmen head-on without a noticeable difference in numbers and even killed one of them.
If Mu Yue's disciples were not injured, it means that Orochimaru has a team that is capable of rivaling the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
After hearing what Orochimaru said, Nara Shikaku looked thoughtful.
Originally, he did not pay too much attention to Might Dai and the team of Mu Yue's disciples mentioned in Orochimaru's words.
As the deputy commander of the team, Nara Shikaku had already memorized all the teams with strong combat capabilities, and the team Kakashi and his team were obviously not among them.
And if Nara Shikaku remembers correctly, Might Dai seemed to be a ten-thousand-year-old Genin with a bad reputation in Konoha Village.
But according to Orochimaru's special question, maybe Kakashi Might played a big role in the battle between them, and was not just a mere accessory.
The other jonin looked at Orochimaru with some confusion, not quite understanding why Orochimaru mentioned Kakashi Might to take them with him.
It's okay for those who don't know Might Dai, but it's even more strange for those who know Might Dai. After all, who would have known that a ten-thousand-year-old Genin could actually master such a terrifying forbidden technique as the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.
Although I was confused, no one interrupted me. I just listened quietly when I didn't understand.
"Shisui, Obito, and Nohara Rin should be able to recover their fighting capacity after about ten days of recuperation. Kakashi's condition is more serious and he will need to recuperate for at least three weeks. Kai's is the most serious and he will not be able to participate in battles for at least a month and a half. I plan to send Kai back to Konoha for recuperation." Mu Yue thought for a moment and replied.
Although Obito, Nohara Rin, and Shisui looked miserable, they were basically just external injuries and recovered quickly with the help of medical ninjutsu.
Kakashi is different. Although he doesn't seem to be injured, when he used the Thing Flash at the end, Kakashi squeezed his body's strength just like the pattern in the original Demon Slayer, which caused a lot of pressure on his body, so he needs to recuperate for a longer time.
Not to mention Might Guy. The Eight Gates Ninjutsu is a forbidden technique that comes with powerful side effects. Might Guy also forcibly opened six gates that he could not bear, and at the same time superimposed the Rock Breathing Chakra mode, which directly increased the pressure on his body.
If it weren't for the good effect of the Stone Breathing training and Might Guy's diligence in training, a truly ordinary Chunin's physique would definitely not be able to withstand such terrifying pressure, and a single punch in battle would break a bone.
"The fact that they were able to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen this time was actually an extraordinary burst of power. They don't normally have such strength." Mu Yue explained briefly.
This time, Might Guy is mainly in C, but Might Guy needs to practice for a while before he can transform the gains from this life-and-death situation.
"As for Senior Dai, he can block two Ninja Swordsmen of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen level at the same time if he uses all his strength, but the duration of his strength cannot be too long."
If Might Guy opens the Death Gate, he can beat up the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen by himself, but such an extreme measure as the Death Gate cannot be used as a normal combat force.
After hearing Mu Yue's explanation, Nara Shikaku was shocked again. The development of this encounter was completely different from what he had imagined.
He thought that Mu Yue had not been assigned any combat mission and had gone out with the disciples, and then met Mizunotsuki Han who was with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The two sides fought a battle, and Mu Yue killed Mizunotsuki Han and other Kirigakure jonin, and Mu Yue's disciples killed the Xiguashan pufferfish demon who was injured by Mu Yue, and Biwa Juzo and Kurishen Kushimaru took advantage of the chaos to escape and were not caught.
This is the most reasonable battle process that Nara Shikakui came up with based on the final outcome described by Orochimaru.
But based on what Mu Yue said just now, the correct process should be that Mu Yue's disciple team went on a mission, but unfortunately encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and a battle broke out. Mu Yue's disciple team plus Might Dai gained a certain advantage by breaking out, killing the Xiguashan Puffer Demon and repelling the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. At this time, Mu Yue and Mizunotsuki Kan arrived together, and then there was the amazing result afterwards.
After finishing the reasoning, Nara Shikaku was really a little overwhelmed. He didn't even know that there were so many powerful people on his side of the battlefield.
These were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, a ninja team that was able to repel his attack head-on. Even with the factor of extraordinary burst, they were still strong enough to be considered strong.
"Might Dai..." Nara Shikaku silently recited the name in his heart.
He planned to take some time to meet this ninja after the meeting. He really didn't expect that this previously legendary ten thousand year old Genin actually had the strength to rival two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The expressions of the other ninjas were also surprised and confused.
Shanzhong Haiyi sighed in his heart that the young are so powerful that even Mu Yue's disciples have such strength.
You have to know that Mu Yue himself is only in his early twenties, so how great can his disciples be?
"That ten thousand year old Genin actually has this kind of strength." The medical squad leader was very shocked.
Although Might Dai has been promoted to Chunin for some time, because his previous deeds have been widely circulated, the first impression of Might Dai by ninjas who know him is still that he is a ten-thousand-year-old Genin.
However, the captain of the medical squad believes that the situation will change after the news of this encounter gets out, and when people talk about Might Dai in the future, they will first think of him as a Chunin who fought against two ninjas from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen.
"Oh, I see." Orochimaru nodded and gave up the idea of having Kakashi and the others form an elite assassination team.
According to the information provided by Mu Yue, the main combat force of the team is Might Guy, followed by Kakashi, and then the others.
Since the strongest Might Guy and Kakashi have to rest for such a long time, they will hardly be used in the next war.
Orochimaru's initial battle plan was to take advantage of Konoha's previous weakness on the east coast battlefield to disguise himself and actively expose the location of the camp to attract Kirigakure to launch a large-scale attack.
But Kirigakure is not stupid. They will definitely not fall for Orochimaru's strategy of luring the enemy after losing multiple elite ninjas in one go.
Because the premise of Orochimaru's plan is that Kirigakure feels that Konoha's ninja forces on the east coast battlefield are very weak, and they can gather troops to eliminate a large number of Konoha's manpower in one go to weaken Konoha's overall strength.
Now Mu Yue not only killed Mizunotsuki Han, the patriarch of the Snow Clan, a well-known strong man from Kirigakure, but also reduced Kirigakure's signature assassination team of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to just Two Ninja Swordsmen. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Kirigakure to think that Konoha is weak.
Therefore, Orochimaru's latest plan is the ultimate provocation. He sends a large number of forces to hunt down as many Kirigakure ninjas as possible and find their base camp, forcing Kirigakure and Konoha to fight a war.
If there was a team that could rival the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Orochimaru would certainly send them to the battlefield to hunt down the Kirigakure without hesitation.
"It's inevitable to get injured after such a big battle. I will report your contribution to the top management." Orochimaru did not show any regret but comforted Mu Yue instead.
After all, they are not in a desperate situation now. Orochimaru will not let a ninja who has not recovered go to fight on the battlefield. Since he cannot use it, he might as well say a few nice words to win Mu Yue's favor.
Although Orochimaru looks very cold and unapproachable, it does not mean that Orochimaru does not know the so-called art of controlling people.
But in most cases, there are few ninjas who can match Orochimaru's skills in controlling people.
Mu Yue is just the ninja that is worthy of Orochimaru's attention. Not only is he strong enough and able to get things done, but he is also a Root ninja. He is simply an ideal subordinate for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru is already thinking about how to use his hoe to lure Mu Yue to his side. If he wants to become Hokage, an excellent confidant is essential.
Mu Yue is not his person at the moment, he can only be considered as a helper temporarily lent to him by Danzo Shimura.
Although he has in-depth cooperation with Danzo Shimura, Orochimaru is very clear about this. He does not want to be too much restricted by Danzo Shimura after becoming Hokage. Cooperation is fine, but if Danzo Shimura still wants to be on an equal footing with him after he becomes Hokage, that would be wishful thinking.
Orochimaru has great confidence in poaching people. Danzo Shimura is very familiar with the tricks that Orochimaru uses on the Root ninjas. After all, Orochimaru is also considered a high-ranking member of the Root.
Orochimaru believes that he only needs to help Mu Yue discover the true identity of Shimura Danzo, who is devoted to Konoha, and then show his own personal charm, and there is a high probability that Mu Yue will switch to his side.
Next, Orochimaru and Nara Shikaku formally discussed the specific battle plan. Most of the discussion was done between the two of them, and the rest of the people just supplemented various details.
