Uchiha Yan still did not know that Rinnegan Sasuke had found another Kama. He was still delighted that his plan had succeeded.
Hehehe, sure enough, I'm a genius. Now no one can stop me from unifying the Shinobi World. I can focus on development and wait for the Ōtsutsuki Clan to arrive.
Suddenly, as though something had occurred to him, Uchiha Yan froze on the spot, then slapped himself hard across the face.
Smack!
I'm such an idiot. Without the Rinnegan, how will Kaguya be revived? If Kaguya isn't revived, how will I get information on the Ōtsutsuki?
Forget it! I'll ask Black Zetsu when I get the chance!
Now, apart from that freak Orochimaru, no other obstacles remained. Uchiha Yan decided to officially launch his plan to unify the Shinobi World.
"Notify all department heads, clan leaders, and the eight regional chiefs, as well as the Kirigakure envoy, to come to a meeting."
"Yes!"
A short while later, Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi, and the others all arrived in the Hokage Building's conference room. The Kirigakure envoy, Hozuki Yae, came as well.
Seeing all of Konoha's High Command present, Hozuki Yae was utterly puzzled. Could an outsider from another village like her really attend such an important meeting?
Full of questions, Hozuki Yae approached Shikaku. "All of Konoha's strongest people are here, aren't they? What did the Hokage call me here for?"
"It might have something to do with Kirigakure. Since you have the chance, just listen. Think of yourself as a spy."
"You haven't heard anything at all?"
"The Hokage disappeared for a while. Who knows where he went or what happened to him?"
"Fair enough."
Clang!
A bronze gong rang out. Uchiha Yan slowly walked to the head seat and sat down, startling everyone with his very first words.
