Chapter 758
Uchiha Jin?
No one was talking about him anymore.
……
Hokage Building, second floor.
The Jonin hall was now bustling.
Representatives from major ninja clans and civilian Jonin were all gathered here.
On the podium, the Leaf F4 were seated.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had a smile on his face; clearly, he was in a good mood today.
While smoking his pipe, he said with a smile.
"Everyone..."
"Peace is truly coming!"
"News has come from the Land of Iron that all four major ninja villages have accepted the invitation."
"This Five Kage Summit will be held in the Land of Iron in three days."
"This Jonin meeting is to vote and select the participants who will go to the Land of Iron."
"First of all, I will definitely go."
"Shikaku Nara, as the Jonin Commander and the brain of our Leaf, must naturally accompany me."
"Besides that, there are two more spots."
"The candidates are the three elders, plus Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Jin."
"Now, let's begin the voting."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
After speaking.
He sat comfortably in his seat, smoking his pipe intermittently.
However, the next second.
Danzo spoke first: "I abstain!"
Koharu Utatane: "I also abstain."
Homura Mitokado: "Likewise, abstain!"
Clearly.
Long before the meeting, the three of them had discussed it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't quite understand.
Yes.
Although on the surface, this Five Kage Summit seemed like just a formality.
After all, to put it bluntly.
The agenda for this Five Kage Summit was already set—it was a peace conference.
Since all five major ninja villages chose to participate, that in itself proved everyone had agreed.
But, in reality, it was not so!
Shikaku Nara, the strategist, was responsible for the specific negotiations.
The accompanying Anbu were responsible for security.
Apart from that, it was all high-level officials.
For a Five Kage Summit of this level, there was an unwritten rule: those qualified to sit at the table were the core high-level officials of each ninja village.
This was more like a meeting to let other villages know who the true core leadership of each village was.
Therefore.
Under normal circumstances, there should have been a scramble for these spots.
But this time.
The three elders all abstained, which was clearly unusual.
For a moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't figure out what his three "old friends" were plotting behind his back again.
But before he could figure it out, Orochimaru stood up.
"I also abstain!"
"I have other things to attend to, so I won't be joining you."
"Apologies, farewell!"
After speaking.
He didn't hesitate at all and turned to leave.
Clearly.
He didn't give Hiruzen Sarutobi any face at all.
However, before leaving, he glanced toward the Uchiha side.
In his pupils, 880 reflected a young figure.
Uchiha Jin!
His eyes were full of curiosity.
But.
He didn't say anything and just left.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
He understood the look Orochimaru gave him before leaving; the guy was looking at him.
Clearly.
He had been targeted by this slippery snake.
But, it didn't matter.
Perhaps when he first transmigrated, he had fear of Orochimaru, afraid of being captured for experiments.
But now it was different!
After years of keeping a low profile, he had now completely grown up.
Except for the true old foxes hidden in various parts of the ninja world, he really didn't look down on anyone else.
Orochimaru wasn't qualified either.
On the contrary.
He was more curious about whether Orochimaru had finished modifying the Hashirama cells and the Reanimation Jutsu.
You know.
Although he had the initial version of the Reanimation Jutsu, even after so much time, the system—that pit-digging jerk—still hadn't finished modifying it.
So, heh.
Orochimaru had targeted him?
He had also targeted Orochimaru!
"Jin-kun, that is Orochimaru!" Koji Nara said directly: "That guy is very sinister; it's better not to provoke him."
"Although he is Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, they are not of one mind."
"It's fine for us to treat each other as strangers, but as for this Five Kage Summit."
"Jin-kun, you must go!" ===== CHAPTER 759 =====
