Prophecy

Sakura and the others were speechless. They wanted to complain but didn't know where to start. They felt that their worldview of more than ten years had shattered into pieces at this moment.

However, seeing that Deidara and Kisame had no intention of fighting, the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts receded like the tide. They had not come here to fight today. If it weren't for the sudden actions of Temari and the other three disrupting the original plan, the two sides would not have been locked in a stalemate so quickly.

After all, they came here to gather intelligence and seek support. It would be truly foolish to push this powerful force towards the enemy because of some "past events." Once they understood this, Temari and Kankuro calmed down and stopped talking.

Just as the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, a chilling laugh rang out.

"Isn't this Naruto? It's been so long!"

"Orochimaru, what are you doing here?"

"Is that so strange? Deidara and Kisame have to plant something good in the Paddy Field they've cultivated, right?" Orochimaru strolled over, gently raising his right hand. In the sunset, glittering light slipped through his fingers and drifted down into the Paddy Field.

"These are the latest God-Given Seed I developed and improved in my dreams. Besides shortening the growth cycle and increasing food production, the most crucial point is that they can absorb the power of Chakra. In other words, after scattering these seeds throughout the world, we will no longer need to worry about the endless destruction of this world by Chakra!"

The scene was deathly silent. Sure enough, the man who killed the Fourth Kazekage and indirectly killed the Third Hokage, and was considered extremely dangerous by all the major ninja villages, finally broke down!

Not only did he become a botanist, but he also started to consider the harmonious development between humans and nature!

While they were still pondering the relationship between war and peace, this man had already embarked on the path of sustainable development. Who is the real villain here?

Seeing everyone staring blankly, Orochimaru laughed and said, "Alright, let's get back to the point. I'm here because of the leader's orders. The leader has already made arrangements for your questions. Come with me."

"Lord Roy actually knew we were coming in advance? That's amazing!" Naruto exclaimed sincerely.

"Idiot, although our operation is relatively secretive, it can't escape the detection of those who are interested. They are just being mysterious." Kurotsuchi muttered disdainfully.

"It's not an act of mystery!" Kurotsuchi's whispers naturally did not escape Orochimaru's ears. He stopped and looked at Kurotsuchi with a mocking gaze, saying, "In fact, before your so-called Five Kage Summit began, the leader had already left the Sanctuary. However, he foresaw everything that might happen afterward and informed us in advance of how to deal with it."

"What?! How is this possible?!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The others had similar expressions. Although they hadn't expressed their opinions before, they shared similar thoughts with Kurotsuchi. After all, Future Sight was simply too outrageous.

On the contrary, Naruto and Sakura looked like they were seeing things for the first time. In their opinion, since that person could even freeze time and space, it was not unacceptable that they could Future Sight.

"Wait, you mean that the Pope Roy has been away from the Dream God Sect for some time now? Could you tell me where he went?" Although reluctant, Qing dutifully asked, remembering the Mizukage's instructions.

"We don't know either, but the leader said before he left that he was going to save the world!" Orochimaru said with a strange expression.

Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to him, their gazes toward Orochimaru filled with strangeness and unease.

"This Pope Roy is really..." Samui shook his head, thinking for a long time but unable to come up with a suitable description, and could only give an awkward but polite smile.

"Don't think the leader is joking. This world hides far too many secrets we don't know about, such as the Rinnegan, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Before these things were revealed, who really believed or knew about them!"

Orochimaru said solemnly, "Therefore, what you know may not be the true face of this world, while the leader stands at the pinnacle of the world, the closest to the gods. Every word he speaks must be full of profound meaning and needs to be carefully considered. Since he said he is going to save the world, then he must be going to save the world!"

The crowd twitched their lips speechlessly, thinking to themselves, "Who would have thought? This venomous snake hiding in the shadows is so good at licking its own boots. Sure enough, those who know how to lick their own boots never live too badly!"

"Saving the world, is it because of Uchiha Madara's Moon Eye Plan?" Although she didn't have a good attitude towards this man who had killed her father, Temari couldn't help but ask when she heard this.

"What does a mere illusion matter to the leader? What he faces is a real catastrophe capable of destroying the world!"

Orochimaru didn't care about the strange looks from others. If one could gain near-immortality simply by groveling, few people would be able to resist such a temptation. Moreover, not everyone is qualified to grovel before a being who is almost a god.

"A fabricated deception? What do you mean?!" Samui exclaimed, selectively ignoring Orochimaru's subsequent sycophantic remarks.

"Don't you understand? The real Uchiha Madara is long dead. What you see now is nothing more than a ghost seeking revenge on this world!"

Undead!

Upon hearing this, the group felt a chill run down their spines, as if a sinister wind was blowing, but they still mustered their courage and asked, "What do you mean by the spirits you mentioned?"

"That guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara is nothing more than a pathetic puppet being manipulated and driven according to a predetermined trajectory. Just like he doesn't know the identity of the White Zetsu, the hidden victim of the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, he thinks he's in control of everything but actually knows nothing!" Orochimaru said sarcastically.

"So the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is not the path to peace after all... Wait, if that's the case, can we tell the truth to that 'Uchiha Madara' and have him join forces with us to fight the real mastermind behind it all?" Naruto suggested whimsically.

"You're naive. You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. That guy is desperately trying to escape into that illusory dream world because of his anger, despair, and resentment. If you shatter his last shred of beautiful illusion, that madman might do something even more insane," Orochimaru warned.
