Unlike Biwa Jūzō, the other three remained silent.
The three of them didn't have very clean backgrounds, especially Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi as newcomers, so it was best to keep a low profile at this time.
The three spies appeared well-behaved and obedient, while only the innocent Biwa Jūzō showed a hint of rebelliousness.
Among the four, Nagato trusted Biwa Jūzō the most, so he could only pretend not to hear.
"You have five minutes to get acquainted, exchange positions, and discuss a meeting point. Zetsu will provide assistance during the assembly process. Within three days, the new team needs to be assembled!"
After saying this, Pain vanished from the spot.
After Pain left, the scene fell silent.
To be honest, most Ninja were more or less socially anxious, like Biwa Jūzō, which was also why he didn't want to separate from Kisame.
Over a year, the two had developed some tacit agreement, and now, forming a new team with newcomers was undoubtedly a headache for the somewhat socially anxious Biwa Jūzō.
The boss had left, and there was no point in saying anything else, so Biwa Jūzō chose to remain silent.
As a quiet person, it was impossible for Itachi to speak first.
Kisame, on the other hand, was wondering if Mr. Madara knew about this. He planned to find an opportunity to slip away from Biwa Jūzō and relay the information later.
The only one without social anxiety, Hiruzen Sarutobi, felt it was better not to speak first and to observe the situation.
In this eerie and gloomy place, the four only looked at each other, not a sound was heard.
Four of the five minutes passed, and the scene remained extremely quiet.
Finally, a voice broke the silence; it was Kisame!
"Mr. Itachi, we're going to fight side-by-side again!"
As Kisame's words fell, Itachi hadn't responded yet when Biwa Jūzō's voice rang out.
"Kisame, are you looking down on me, greeting your new teammates so eagerly!"
The socially anxious Biwa Jūzō made small talk, unwilling to communicate with the newcomers, he quickly responded to Kisame's words, making himself seem very close to Kisame.
"Mr. Jūzō, please don't misunderstand, this is the leader's command, and we cannot refuse!"
Kisame explained very politely.
After the atmosphere warmed up, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer remained silent.
"Lord Biwa Jūzō, let's exchange positions. I am currently in the Land of Grass..."
After a few brief sentences, Hiruzen Sarutobi roughly figured out their personalities and took the initiative to speak with Biwa Jūzō.
"..."
The remaining two minutes passed quickly amidst their conversation.
Returning to their original positions, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a shushing gesture.
He then quickly removed his ring, then gestured to Itachi.
After putting both their rings into a sealing scroll and setting up a simple sealing barrier, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke.
"Itachi, we are about to separate. Be constantly vigilant in your words and actions when wearing the ring, and be sure to always pay attention to the intelligence officer named Zetsu!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi then told Itachi about Yuuki's discovery of White Zetsu and the conclusions from some of his research on White Zetsu.
After listening, Itachi also nodded seriously and replied.
"Yes!"
The previous Battlefield of the few.
The terrain, completely altered by Shinra Tensei, shocked all the Ninja who came to investigate.
The scene was so stunning that some Ninja could not conceal their presence very well.
Intelligence officers from the three great nations of Wind, Earth, and Lightning even ran into each other. None of them chose to engage, merely memorizing the figures of those they saw before retreating.
They all reported their findings to their respective Ninja villages.
The major Ninja villages, with their well-established intelligence channels, successively received the news.
Among the two combatants, one side was definitely Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companion, while the other side was the subject of much speculation.
Some speculated it was Yuuki; from both strength and their identities, it fit perfectly. As for not fighting in the Land of Fire, it was likely to prevent the immense destruction caused by the battle.
This speculation was reasonable and highly logical.
Such speculations came from Ninja villages of smaller nations in the Ninja World. The Ninja villages of the great nations, however, directly dismissed Yuuki's possibility based on the battle traces.
Has a new powerhouse appeared in the Ninja World?
This was the consensus of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. Only Hidden Mist secretly speculated that it might be related to the person who controlled the Fourth Hokage back then.
After reading the intelligence, Yuuki roughly reconstructed the events in his mind.
Unlike other Ninja villages, which only used intelligence Ninja to observe from a distance in the shadows.
Konoha's pursuit team openly collected many things on the Battlefield.
From the intelligence relayed by Konoha's team alone, Yuuki had a rough idea of what had happened. After receiving intelligence from Black Zetsu, it further corroborated his speculation.
After a moment of contemplation, Yuuki secretly made a decision.
He couldn't continue to let Orochimaru cause trouble everywhere!
