411 The Shimura Has Ice Release
🕑 Added 2025-11-25 06:05:01 +0000 UTCOrochimaru was very vexed about how he should face Jiraiya.
One must know that the latter was currently unaware that he had changed his body.
Once he let the other party discover any clues, then...
Orochimaru subconsciously reached out to touch his lower abdomen.
Just as he was hesitating, Jiraiya had already walked through the main door and began searching for Orochimaru's whereabouts.
The guards on the side intended to stop him, but the usually unreliable Jiraiya was, after all, one of Konoha's high-end combat forces. How could he be stopped by ordinary Jonin?
Soon, even Danzō heard the commotion outside.
Noticing the change in Danzō's expression, Orochimaru knew that he had to make a decision quickly.
"Hey, Orochimaru, hey—"
Jiraiya's voice suddenly stopped.
A figure hurriedly rushed over: "Jiraiya-sama, the higher-ups need to see you about something!"
The person who came was Tobitake Tonbo.
He was currently working in the Internal Affairs Department. Although he was only a Chunin, his contributions to intelligence work were no less than those of a Jonin.
"What happened?"
Jiraiya knew that something must have occurred, and the drunkenness in his tone dissipated considerably.
"I regret to say that I am not clear on exactly what happened. Please follow me!"
Tobitake Tonbo's words made Jiraiya frown.
However, he did not pursue the question further. Instead, he walked back in the direction he had come from, leaving the Research Bureau.
"Danzō-sama, please also come with us!"
Seeing Jiraiya move, Tobitake Tonbo did not dare to neglect and bowed towards Danzō.
"I understand, I will go now."
...
In a certain extra-dimensional space.
The Inner Circle members were rarely all gathered together.
A, Sasori, Boro, Victor, Amado, Miyatsu Reimei, Fūka, Hōki, as well as the three artificial humans: Pride, Envy, and Lust.
Jigen sat in the main seat, looking at the many subordinates Yōwan had found for him, and spoke in a cold tone.
"Lust is dead. According to the images she transmitted before her death, the Fifth Hokage killed her in just a few moves."
Originally, Jigen did not take the so-called Hokage seriously. In his opinion, the strength of ninjas was just mediocre. Chakra itself was a gift from the Ōtsutsuki. No matter what, this group of fellows could not cause too great a disruption.
If it hadn't been for Kaguya's backstabbing strike back then, perhaps he wouldn't even need the Akatsuki Organization. He could have swept across the entire Ninja World by himself.
Jigen's body was still too weak and simply couldn't support his full power.
"That Hokage's strength is improving too quickly. I originally didn't want to have a direct conflict with the so-called Ninja Alliance, but they are aggressively pressing on, and I'm afraid they will soon touch the threshold of the Ōtsutsuki secret."
While speaking, Jigen did not forget to take out the red wine he constantly craved and drank it.
"Sasori, when can you find a suitable vessel?"
This was the question Jigen was most concerned about, as it related to when he could unleash his full power.
"None of this batch of children possesses that talent."
Sasori's tone was cold. Facing Jigen's inquiry, there was no ripple on his face.
"Is that so? I hope you can speed up the progress."
Jigen was a little disappointed.
"If Boro and Victor could be a little more useful."
Sasori turned his head and looked at the two people he had named.
Boro's mouth twitched, but he did not refute.
Victor, on the other hand, complained with dissatisfaction:
"I am just a businessman. I have invested far too much for your so-called goals, but what about the return? I haven't seen any return at all!"
As the president of the largest medical device company in the Land of Valleys, Victor's participation provided many technological and financial conveniences for the Akatsuki Organization.
Victor's words did not evoke much resonance.
Pride, Envy, and Lust were artificial humans, only obeying Amado's orders.
Amado's purpose was to study the Ōtsutsuki. Miyatsu Reimei was saved by Amado, so Amado's purpose was his purpose.
A chose to join the Akatsuki Organization to protect Killer B.
Sasori was entrapped by Yōwan. That guy submitted to the Ōtsutsuki, which led to him following suit and submitting to the Ōtsutsuki.
Fūka and Hōki were the same. After Yōwan died, they had no other choice.
Seeing that no one was on his side, Victor was a little annoyed.
Sure enough, the so-called ninjas were all like this, one by one, despicable existences.
"Victor, one thing you said is not wrong."
Jigen did not care about Victor's somewhat offensive words. Instead, he took out a strange device from the extra-dimensional space.
The moment he saw the device, Amado's expression underwent a subtle change, which he cleverly concealed.
"This is the cell of the Ōtsutsuki God. I present it as a gift to everyone. It is also a gift for our future collective ascension to become Ōtsutsuki."
If possible, Jigen didn't want to bring out this reward so early.
After all, using it as a reward to motivate the enthusiasm of this group of subordinates was the best use for it.
"Of course, whether you can awaken the Divine Arts after transplanting the cells depends on your physique."
Jigen said, handing the cells over to Amado.
"You can choose to let Amado perform the transplantation, or you can choose to take it and transplant it yourselves. The specific usage is entirely up to everyone."
At this moment, whether they sincerely followed Jigen or not, everyone's eyes were fixed on the cells of the Ōtsutsuki God.
Inside the device, there were a total of eight sealed test tubes, clearly corresponding to the eight Inner Circle members besides the artificial humans.
"This..."
Victor was momentarily speechless, then quickly reacted, stood up, and bowed to Jigen:
"Thank you for your gift, but I don't trust Amado, so I will transplant it myself."
Boro was the same. He didn't trust Amado, especially Sasori, so he also requested the cells, deciding to transplant them himself.
After the cells of Ōtsutsuki Shibai were distributed, everyone did not leave but waited for Jigen's speech.
It was impossible for the other party to give away the cells without reason; there must be something he needed them to accomplish.
Sure enough, seeing that the atmosphere had returned to quiet, Jigen pressed the remote control next to him. Several figures that many people were very familiar with were displayed in front of everyone via the projector.
Ōnoki, Takeshi, Dodai, Yagura Karatachi, Pakura.
These were the five Kage of the current Ninja World, representing the strongest fighting force of the ninjas.
"The so-called Ninja Alliance has caused us too much trouble. Although I don't intend to bother with these fellows, based on the recent reports, they have begun to dismantle our Outer Circle organization.
Since that's the case, we can't remain idle. We must create some incidents for these fellows, so that they will not have the ability to affect our great endeavor for a long time."
