The next day, early in the morning.
Served by Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Jin, who had just woken up, couldn't help but stretch, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
After he finished washing up, Uchiha Yue also prepared breakfast.
Uchiha Jin appeared very relaxed at this time; after quickly finishing breakfast, he went to the Hokage Office.
Fugaku, Kakashi, Tsunade, Shikaku... the core high-level officials of New Konoha had already arrived at the Hokage Office.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Mhm, all sit down!"
Uchiha Jin simply waved his hand casually. After he sat down behind the desk, everyone else, except for Tsunade, took seats on the guest sofas.
As for—Tsunade?
As Uchiha Jin's secretary, there was naturally a designated spot for her in this office.
"Shikaku, you start."
Uchiha Jin picked up his teacup, his tone very relaxed and casual: "How is the screening process for Old Konoha's Civilians progressing now?"
"Hokage-sama, three-quarters of it is complete!" Nara Shikaku said respectfully, "The Civilian Ninja and their families have been screened, and the screening of regular Civilians should also be finished in about an hour."
"The remaining groups are either local thugs, those who joined Old Konoha only a few years ago, those originating from the orphanage, or the current children and staff of the orphanage."
"The screening of this portion is the most difficult. Local thugs go without saying, but for Civilians who haven't joined long, the probability of them being spies is extremely high."
"As for the orphanage itself, it was a culture medium for Root."
"This is also the most challenging part of the screening, but I can guarantee that the screening will be finished this afternoon."
"However, even for those who pass the screening and are allowed to enter New Konoha, I suggest having Anbu and the Police Force monitor them for a period of time."
Nara Shikaku's work ability, wisdom, and planning capabilities directly surpass Shikaku's by a large margin. Although the current task was time-sensitive, he handled it directly and methodically.
This point.
Is acknowledged internally by the Nara Clan!
Hearing this, Uchiha Jin nodded directly.
"Alright, proceed as planned."
"Fugaku and Kakashi, remember to ensure cooperation between the Police Force and Anbu."
"Next, Tsunade!"
"Regarding the siege of Old Konoha, how are things progressing on Akimichi Torifu's side?"
Hearing this, Tsunade slightly furrowed her brows.
Her expression became somewhat grim, but after a sigh, she said, "The siege of Old Konoha is going smoothly. Last night, the Tsunade and Mitokado Clans attempted a breakout, but they were ultimately blocked by Akimichi Torifu."
"However, the Intelligence Division's scouts have reported some bad news."
"Orochimaru has returned!"
"Furthermore, last night, the Four Great Shinobi Clans conducted large-scale grave-digging operations in various cemetery districts of Old Konoha."
"I have a bad feeling. I fear that guy Orochimaru..."
Tsunade's expression grew increasingly cold.
Clearly.
As the last surviving member of the Senju Clan, and the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama and Tobirama, she had naturally seen the Forbidden Jutsu Scrolls.
Perhaps the Intelligence Division scouts didn't know what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru were doing, but how could she not guess such a thing?
But, the problem is.
She truly didn't know how to say it!
She somewhat hoped to see her relatives from the past, but mostly felt fear and sorrow, because she and those relatives would likely become enemies.
On the other side.
Hearing Tsunade's report, Uchiha Jin's eyes paused for a moment.
Orochimaru?
He really hadn't expected this guy to return, much less engage in large-scale grave digging?
Looking at the conflicted Tsunade, he slowly spoke after putting down his teacup: "It seems Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other remnants of Old Konoha have chosen Edo Tensei as their final means of resistance!"
"And with Orochimaru, a researcher, involved, it is highly likely that this Jutsu has been perfected and improved."
Edo Tensei?
Upon hearing this Jutsu, those present were uniformly bewildered.
Yes!
Perhaps this Jutsu is often mentioned among the Transmigrator Community, but the natives of the Ninja World have no understanding of it; however, a method that gives Old Konoha the confidence to resist New Konoha, combined with grave digging last night... frankly, it's chilling!
Tsunade, upon hearing this, was stunned: "Jin, you know?"
"Ah, of course I know!" Uchiha Jin nodded. "Your great-uncle truly was a genius!"
"It uses the deceased's genetic information as an anchor, alters the Summoning Jutsu's node to link to the Pure Land, and then uses a sacrifice to bring the dead back to the mortal world."
"It looks like what we'll be facing next is an army of the dead!"
Hiss!
As Uchiha Jin spoke, everyone present immediately gasped in cold shock.
Followed by anger!
They were astonished by the horror and evil nature of Edo Tensei, but even more furious at the grave-digging operation conducted by the Sarutobi and the other three clans.
Damn it.
No need to even think about it!
These bastards must have dug up the powerful deceased members of the major Ninja Clanss.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent!
No one knew how to confront this situation; even Tsunade's gaze had become extremely cold.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but laugh and speak.
"Alright, everyone, don't panic!"
"Edo Tensei is not without weaknesses. After all, they are just a group of undead."
"Sealing Jutsu is an excellent point of attack!"
"While there is still some time before the real war begins, Tsunade, you and the Barrier Team should work quickly to design a set of Sealing Jutsu capable of sealing Edo Tensei."
"Furthermore, you must create as many Sealing Scrolls as possible. These will be distributed to our powerful fighters, allowing those who don't know Sealing Jutsu to use them against the Edo Tensei combatants when they get the chance on the battlefield."
"As for the strongest First Hokage and Second Hokage, I will handle them!"
"However, for the Edo Tensei undead to exert the fighting power they had in life, the quality of the sacrifices required must be very high."
"And everyone understands the current situation in Old Konoha; they can only use strong members from their own clans as sacrifices."
"Among the Sarutobi and the other Four Great Shinobi Clans, the number of Ninja might be huge, but there are barely any true elites. Now that Edo Tensei has directly taken another batch, these four Ninja Clanss are nothing more than a bunch of pigs."
"Therefore, when the real fighting begins, after determining the number of enemy Edo Tensei elites and assigning opponents, everyone else must move as quickly as possible to capture the clan members of the Four Great Shinobi Clans."
"Capture one, imprison one!"
"By leveraging the advantage of our Village's Ninja numbers, even if we cannot seal those Edo Tensei elites, as long as we capture the clan members of the Sarutobi and the other three Ninja Clanss, those people will become 'hostages' in our hands!"
"Do you all understand what I mean?"
