This time, Orochimaru did not summon all of Konoha's jonin. He only called in several jonin holding key positions on the current battlefield.
Small matters called for big meetings; major matters called for small meetings. Since the decision made here would affect the final direction of the entire battlefield, the contents of the meeting itself were confidential.
Besides Mu Yue, Orochimaru had invited only five Konoha jonin to this important secret meeting.
These five jonin were Hizashi Hyuga, captain of the sensory unit, along with the entire Ino–Shika–Chō team. Worth mentioning was that Shikaku Nara served as the deputy commander of the force. The last jonin was the head of the medical unit, responsible for logistics and medical care.
"Today, Mu Yue, Might Duy, and the team led by Mu Yue's disciples encountered Hana Minazuki and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Hana Minazuki, Munashi Jinpachi, Jinin Akebino, Raiga Kurosuki, Chōjūrō, Suikazan Fuguki, and other Hidden Mist Village jonin were killed on the spot. Suikazan Fuguki was killed by Mu Yue's disciple, while all the others were killed by Mu Yue."
Orochimaru did not beat around the bush and directly revealed Mu Yue's achievements.
Orochimaru used no exaggeration or flowery rhetoric. He merely stated Mu Yue's accomplishments plainly, yet every ninja in the tent other than Orochimaru and Mu Yue had their pupils constrict, shock impossible to conceal on their faces.
If anyone other than the force commander Orochimaru had said it, they might have questioned whether it was true.
There was no other reason. The content was simply too horrifying.
It was like being in the middle of a war, then suddenly and inexplicably learning that your side had wiped out the enemy's elite unit. It carried the dreamlike happiness of something too good to be real.
For a smart person
