Jörmungandr understood: Kōki was using Obito, while they would follow the clues to find Madara Uchiha's hiding place and eventually exhaust Madara Uchiha's power.
This way, they wouldn't have to worry about Madara Uchiha. But besides Madara Uchiha, there's an even bigger mastermind— Black Zetsu.
"So, what about Black Zetsu? His presence is also hindering our operations."
" Black Zetsu? Whether he shows up or not doesn't affect us much. Anyway, it was the Light Organization members who attacked Madara. What does that have to do with me Kōki Itō?"
These words were like a wake-up call, instantly making Jörmungandr understand: although Black Zetsu cunning enough, as long as its true form couldn't be found, it posed no threat whatsoever.
Therefore, as long as they are careful not to expose their relationship with Kōki, it will not affect Kōki's plans.
"Alright, let's split up. The Eternal Eye clone Jörmungandr to monitor Obito, making sure the White Zetsu doesn't spot him. Setsugetsu will go to Rōran to guard our base. Since the main body wants to speed things up, we need to start preparing the Dragon Vein. I'll find a good opportunity to go and keep an eye on Nagato. The main body can do what it wants and prepare to end the war."
With the tasks assigned, Kōki and the others began to act according to their respective plans.
While Kōki and Kōki group were discussing how to deal with Madara Uchiha, on the other hand, their actions had also slightly attracted Madara Uchiha's attention.
" Lord Madara, there's been a lot of buzz in the Shinobi World lately, about that organization called 'Light.' Should I tell you about it?" The White Zetsu, aged-looking Madara Uchiha emerged from the wall of a dark, low-lying cave and asked.
Because Madara Uchiha had previously instructed it to collect all the well-known news in the Shinobi World and report it to him.
" The Light Organization? Is there anything special about this organization?" Sitting on the stone chair, Uchiha slowly raised his head, looked at the White Zetsu on the wall, and asked with interest in his eyes.
"According to the Spore Clone hidden in Konoha, this organization is quite powerful. They were able to rescue the captured Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi, from Konoha, and it seems they also inflicted considerable losses on Danzo of Konoha, and even the Uchiha Clan suffered significant losses."
He seemed very happy about the new changes in the Shinobi World, and when talking about the Light Organization, White Zetsu was dancing with joy.
The Spore Clone he mentioned were his means of gathering intelligence.
His Spore Clone possess a transformation ability that even the Byakugan cannot see through, allowing them to easily hide in any corner of the Shinobi World and obtain information and secrets unknown to many other ninja villages.
This is also the source of information that allows Madara to know everything without leaving his house.
"This organization sounds somewhat interesting, but it's meaningless to me. White Zetsu, there's no need to waste energy on such an insignificant organization. How's Obito doing lately?"
Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha instantly lost interest. To him, nothing mattered except for someone as special as Kōki or something extremely important.
News of Obito was not as important to him as it was to him.
Besides, he doesn't have much time left; he needs to make Obito despair of this world as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Madara ask about Obito again, White Zetsu replied helplessly, " Obito is still the same as always. Even though we led a large number of Iwagakure troops to attack them, inflicting many injuries Obito him, we still haven't seen any signs of him Sharingan. Lord Madara, does he really meet your requirements?"
Clearly, even after all this time, White Zetsu still has no confidence in Obito.
"His lack of awakening only means we haven't stimulated him enough. Continue to guide the Iwagakure forces to attack him, preferably sending some stronger ninjas. Weak ninjas won't put much pressure on him. We need to let him know what powerlessness feels like, to make him hate his own weakness. Only then will he grow."
Madara Uchiha spoke calmly when talking about Obito, but his words sent chills down one's spine.
"Yes, Lord Madara."
After White Zetsu speaking, he slowly sank into the wall, and with White Zetsu's disappearance, the entire dark cave became silent again.
Only Madara Uchiha's soft breathing remained.
The scene shifts to the battlefield of Kumogakure, where Kōki has separated from Aizen and the others and returned to Konoha's position in the Land of the Moon.
Upon returning to Konoha's base, he immediately dispelled his Wood Clone and began to absorb the memories of the past ten days.
After sorting through his memories, Kōki finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the past ten days, although the Kumogakure launched several attacks, the intensity of the attacks was not fierce. His Wood Clone only exchanged a few simple blows with the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails before returning to their respective homes.
This situation, while perplexing to the high command within the positions, also pleased them greatly. After all, they disliked war.
Of course, while they were happy, they still took precautions, so they frequently sent out ninja squads to gather intelligence on the enemy in case they had any special schemes.
Just after Kōki finished sorting through his memories, there was a rapid knocking on his door.
As soon as the Gate of Opening, a Konoha Ninja was seen standing at the entrance.
Upon seeing Kōki Gate of Opening, the ninja quickly said, " Lord Kōki, Lord Orochimaru has ordered all Jonin in the camp to attend a meeting in the conference room in half an hour."
Without waiting for Kōki's reply, he hurried off to the Jonin Jonin's camp.
He looked anxious, as if something serious had happened.
This puzzled Kōki. Had something changed on the other front lines in Konoha, or Kumogakure launching another attack?
But he didn't notice anything unusual on his way here.
However, he didn't dwell on it further. After tidying himself up a bit, he headed towards the conference room. Whatever the situation, everything would be clear once he got there.
Upon arriving at the conference room, all the key high-ranking officials of the Konoha camp were already present, sitting upright and waiting for Orochimaru to speak.
Kōki was also affected by the tense atmosphere, so he quickened his pace slightly, found an empty seat, and waited for the meeting to begin.
As Kōki waited, he began to observe the expressions of the ninjas present, hoping to glean some clues from their expressions.
However, upon closer inspection, Kōki noticed that the eyes of the higher-ups were also filled with doubt, clearly showing their bewilderment at Orochimaru's sudden decision to convene a meeting.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, all the Jonin were not on missions in the camp finally arrived.
Then, Orochimaru, sitting at the head of the table, uttered a shocking message in his distinctive voice. " The Kirigakure has attacked us."
