Chapter 218: Uchiha Sasuke, I

As time passed, many began to notice that the atmosphere between the five great nations had grown increasingly tense.

The younger generation didn't mind much, thinking it wasn't a big deal, but some elders who had lived through the Ninja World War recalled unpleasant memories.

Fortunately, the five ninja villages did not intend to let the situation continue escalating, so news spread quickly through the Ninja World.

That news was that the Country of Iron would host the next Wuying Society summit.

The Hidden Leaf Village naturally learned of this news, but they had no intention of letting the already boiling Ninja World situation calm down.

In a pitch-black space, nine shadowy figures stood in a circle, their faces obscured.

These were members of the Biding Society conducting a remote meeting using the Illusionary Lantern Body Technique.

In the darkness, Changmen gazed at the glowing pupils of the organization's members and spoke: "Long, can't you shut off your Kekkei Genkai?"

"Sorry, my Kekkei Genkai has been acting up lately."

Li Ang shrugged.

To conceal his Byakugan, he had to keep his Golden Eyes ignited at all times, which made him stand out noticeably in this environment.

"." Changmen did not dwell on this minor issue, instead shifting to a serious tone: "The Wuying Society summit is about to begin—this is the perfect opportunity to capture the remaining tailed beasts."

Although the Ninja World is currently tense, once the five Kage meet and compare notes, they'll sense something is off.

They may not suspect the Biding Society, but they should at least realize that a hidden force is stirring chaos in the Ninja World.

By then, it would be nearly impossible for the Biding Society to secretly fan the flames.

Their options are now severely limited.

Either eliminate all five Kage at once, or seize the chance to capture the remaining tailed beasts.

After all, during the Wuying Society summit, the departure of the Kage will leave the five ninja villages' Garrison Commander forces significantly weakened.

Currently, the Biding Society has already captured three tailed beasts: the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails.

The Four-Tails was captured by Uchiha Sasuke and Kisame while Li Ang and Sa were hunting the Three-Tails.

Thus, all tailed beasts without a ninja village affiliation have been captured by the Biding Society—only the jinchūriki of the major ninja villages remain.

Such a perfect opportunity, Changmen would never let slip.

"Long, Sa—the One-Tails is yours."

As expected, the One-Tails was assigned to Sa, the former Sunagakure ninja, but this requires Li Ang and Sa to intercept and kill Gaara en route to the Country of Iron for the Wuying Society summit.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang nodded in agreement, while Sa remained silent, lost in thought.

After assigning tasks to Li Ang and Sa, Changmen proceeded to assign tasks to the others.
