They shared information about the ninjutsu of some personnel, assigned the opponents to be dealt with, and discussed the plan.

The plan was simple: dig a hole in the village.

The meeting is scheduled for four days from now. There will be a high-level meeting where the elders of the four clans will be present. Mochizuki Gen will be in charge of launching a direct attack, Kakuzu will be responsible for making an appearance, and Yura will carry out assassinations and purges of the four clans' families.

"I will arrange for my own people to leave, and kill all the remaining members of the Hero Clan," Huan said in a deep voice.

Jieluo nodded. The final act would be Huan as the hero, leading the people to defeat the ruthless Kakuzu. Jieluo would remain hidden in the shadows throughout. The biggest advantage for Jieluo was that he wouldn't be wanted by any ninja village, making it much easier for him to join other ninja villages.

Mochizuki Gen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will complete the mission."

"In that case, I won't see you off any further. Please prepare to proceed as soon as possible," Jieluo said, seeing the guest off.

He glanced intently at Jieluo, then at Huan, who seemed oblivious to his predicament in Jieluo's hands. He felt a pang of worry for Huan's safety...

Mochizuki turned and left.

"Summon all those traitors you've won over," Jieluo instructed Huan. "I need three people familiar with the inner workings of the three clans to lead the way."

"Yes." Huan released his summoned beast, and an hour later, a whooshing sound echoed through the moonlit forest. Almost simultaneously, three figures stood on tree trunks, looking down at Huan in the woods.

"Weren't you on a mission, Miss Huan?" The speaker was a blond young man with fair skin, delicate features, and a gentle demeanor; he looked to be in his early twenties.

The Uji clan is mostly composed of handsome men and beautiful women, and they look like people from the Land of Lightning, with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Shuichi, shut up." The speaker was a black-haired woman in her early twenties. Unlike the alluring women of the Thousand Demon Clan, the woman's face was ordinary, but her demeanor was very capable. She crouched on the tree and said to Huan, "Didn't I tell you not to contact me easily?"

"Aoi," Huan shook his head and said, "The time has come."

Upon hearing this, all three of them tensed up.

Jie Luo then sized up one of the boys among the three. He was excessively pale, with long, smooth black hair, purple eyeshadow, and golden vertical pupils. In some ways, he was very handsome. Although he appeared to have a somewhat cold demeanor, he always had a gentle smile on his face, seemingly a sunny and cheerful young man.

The Kusanagi clan...

Yura had met him before; he was a year older than Yura at the Kusanagi clan's orphanage training camp.

"Wait, Gen." The Kusanagi clan boy, perched on the tree, said in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to introduce the ninja behind you?"

Upon hearing this, Shuichi and Aoi were startled. There was someone else?

Huan looked at him in surprise.

His gaze was fixed on Jieluo in mid-air.

"No need for introductions." Jie Luo raised her hand in greeting and smiled, "Long time no see, Shen Yue."

"It really is you..." Shen Yue said with a serious look in her eyes, "I thought I was seeing things. It's been a long time."

Unlike Jieluo, Shenyue, though also an orphan, is of the Kusanagi clan bloodline.

"Shen Yue, you don't seem to be a very warm-hearted or kind person."

The Kusanagi clan is a rather cold-blooded clan. Even among relatives of the same clan, there is little warmth between them. Back when I was fighting to the death with this guy in the clan, he wasn't laughing like this.

"Forget it, it's rare to run into an acquaintance, so I won't guess what your ambitions or purposes are," Jie Luo said with a light smile.

"Hehehe..." The smile on her face changed slightly, her eyes turned cold, and she revealed her hidden fangs in front of those who knew her well. Without taking her eyes off Jie Luo, Shen Yue said to Huan, "Miss Huan, don't be fooled by her seemingly harmless appearance. She is a very cruel and ruthless woman at heart. You'd better be careful."

I know that...

Huan was beaten up twice by Jieluo, so he knew it all too well.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Aoi sneered from the side, "I knew it, the Kusanagi clan are all like this."

"Yura-kun..." Gen said, trying to smooth things over, "These three are all like-minded companions of ours."

"So, I really don't know whether to call you smart or stupid." Jie Luo smiled lightly, "You're clearly an excellent social butterfly, but your judgment of people isn't very accurate. You can't grasp this guy's ambition. However, Shen Yue, speaking ill of me to my face, your mouth is as annoying as ever."

Upon seeing that annoying face again, Jieluo was suddenly shocked to realize that this guy looked almost exactly like Orochimaru when he was young.

Ryuchi Cave, Kusanagi Sword, I see...

After stealing a clan's treasure and becoming a rogue ninja, did he join Konoha during the early days of the village's founding, when information was unclear and chaotic?

So, besides Onikiri, does the Kusanagi clan also possess a Sky Blade?

Jieluo looked at Huan and smiled, "Is it alright to hand this guy over to me?"

"Wait, Yura-kun..." Gen exclaimed in surprise, realizing that Yura was about to make a move...

Shen Yue's expression turned cold, and he immediately drew his ninja sword.

"You can't beat me when we spar..." Jie Luo beckoned with his finger and laughed, "With your swordsmanship, don't make me laugh, Shen Yue."

Being selected for the team that assassinated Hashirama Senju speaks volumes.

"You good-for-nothing Kusanagi clan member, what, Shingetsu, have you forgotten that I almost killed you?"

I can't move...

Shen Yue stared at Jie Luo with a grim expression, not understanding what had launched the attack. Her limbs and body were bound. Although she knew she might not be a match for Jie Luo, she never expected to be defeated so quickly and strangely.

Not far away, two other people also looked grim, their bodies being controlled by Jieluo.

Okay, they've already started.

Huan stretched out his hand, then withdrew it, and hurriedly said, "Yura-kun, they are just three ordinary Chunin. Everything is under my control."

"Those three are a bit too arrogant, and they still don't understand the situation." Jie Luo stood up and said, walking slowly in the air under the moon, step by step floating through the air, until he arrived in front of Shen Yue.

"Please spare their lives, Lord Jieluo," Huan pleaded urgently from the ground.

Uji Shuichi looked completely bewildered. "I wasn't that arrogant."

Senki Aoi stared stubbornly at Yura, remaining defiant and silent.

"You were able to see me right away. It seems that the clan's rough training methods are somewhat wasting your talent."

Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu is quite subtle. Normal people don't have a strong soul, and playing with it like Orochimaru would definitely have more than just the side effect of a weakened soul.

Shen Yue looked at Jie Luo with a gloomy expression.

"You're in luck, Shen Yue. I just need an informant." After saying this, Jie Luo gently touched Shen Yue's forehead.

Shen Yue's eyes widened in shock. What was she going to do?

In an instant, black hairs sprouted from her fingertips, then surged out wildly, frantically drilling into Shen Yue's face, eye sockets, and mouth.

Instantly, three simultaneous, intense screams echoed through the forest.

The three struggled and writhed in agony. After a long while, their screams subsided, leaving only heavy, labored breathing in the room.

"I don't really trust them. To prevent my information from being leaked, I'll keep Huan under control for you. Is that alright?" Jie Luo asked with a slight smile.

Huan nodded, swallowed hard, and forced a smile, "No problem, Jieluo-kun."

We must get this demon princess out of the village!

necessary!

It's so good that she's willing to walk on her own!
