Orochimaru was not like Jiraiya, the kind of person who would just scratch his head and laugh it off even when someone targeted him.
He was a snake.
If you bit him, he would definitely bite back.
"Fine. Since you, Orochimaru, want to scheme against your own teacher, I'll play along. You handle the aftermath. I'll just take the fruits of the harvest."
"No problem!"
Orochimaru revealed a satisfied smile.
Helping Jingyi was also helping himself. Jingyi could stack buffs through achievements and prestige, and so could Orochimaru.
If possible, Orochimaru truly did not want to go against F4.
Yet certain people kept their eyes on him and refused to let him have an easy time. Since that was the case, they could not blame Orochimaru for being ruthless.
After leaving Jingyi, Orochimaru returned to headquarters and immediately ordered the ninja squads active on the battlefield to return to camp. Since they were going to make a big move, they had to concentrate their forces.
They would strike while Sunagakure Camp was in chaos, launch an offensive, and drive them back into the Land of Wind in one fell swoop.
The orders were sent out.
Upon receiving the message, the squads carrying out missions on the battlefield all returned to camp at once.
As more and more ninja squads returned, the camp became far livelier than usual.
Once every squad that could return had done so, a strategy meeting targeting Sunagakure began at headquarters.
Jingyi attended the meeting.
By the time he arrived, the headquarters was already packed.
Normally, those qualified to attend meetings at a frontline camp were captains of elite squads.
In other words, without Jonin-level strength or a special status, meetings like this had little to do with you.
"Looks like I arrived rather late."
