Slowly walking into the conference room, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the surging crowd.
A dangerous aura spread, causing many jounin to turn their heads to look at him.
"Lord Orochimaru!" "Lord Orochimaru."
After greetings were heard one after another, and after nodding in return, Orochimaru, the disciple of the contemporary Sandaime Hokage and one of the Sannin of Konoha, the 'Cold Lord', came to the front of the conference room.
Looking at the old man sitting behind the table, he is also his master, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the 'Doctor of Ninjutsu'!
He was smoking a cigarette, and there were three members of the Konoha advisory group standing beside him.
One of them, an old man with an angry expression who had lost one eye, was Danzo Shimura who had just established the 'Root' organization!
Sensing Orochimaru's arrival, Danzo also stopped arguing and waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak.
"Orochimaru, you should also know what happened, right?"
On the way here, Orochimaru nodded slightly as he learned information that he had ignored due to his recent obsession with experiments.
"The third war has begun!"
The cold and pointed speech immediately aroused the whispers of many jounin present.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but take a puff of dry tobacco.
He did not expect that the person who really followed his train of thought was the student he had always been optimistic about but also very fearful of.
After hearing Orochimaru's speech, among the Konoha advisory group, Danzo was the first to react, and soon his expression suddenly changed.
"Indeed!"
"The Kingdom of Thunder declares war on the Kingdom of Wind."
"Cloud Hidden Village's attack on Sunagakure Village will definitely not only attack one side."
"They would rather open a front and bring in all the surrounding countries, rather than let them wait for the battle to end and then divide the benefits."
"And the Fire Country, which borders the Thunder Country, will never be spared."
"As long as this starts, Konoha will have to go to war, and once the Fire Country and Konoha, which occupy the rich central land, join the war, the other surrounding ninja villages will not let go of this opportunity."
"The Third Ninja War has indeed begun!"
The group of jounin behind them who didn't know why, finally understood why Orochimaru said that the "Three Wars" had begun.
When any country goes to war, a single move can affect the entire country. Although the information they received was that Cloud Hidden Village had begun to raid Sunagakure Village, and the two sides had already exchanged fire.
But on a deeper level, it represents that the already unstable ninja world is about to usher in the third war!
Hearing the noise starting from below, Hiruzen Sarutobi knocked on the cigarette in his hand.
Along with the smoke.
His old and powerful voice sounded.
"Earth Kingdom, I have sent Jiraiya to guard it."
"I have arranged for Tsunade and the Uchiha clan to go to the Kingdom of Water..."
Realizing that Lord Hokage had already made arrangements, the jounin below immediately listened attentively.
I finally understood why there were so few companions coming to the meeting.
"As for the Cloud Hidden Village in the Kingdom of Thunder, Orochimaru."
"give it to you!"
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Orochimaru quickly understood what was happening. He stuck out his tongue and scratched his cheek. After looking deeply at his teacher, he nodded simply.
"Understood!"
No intention of rejection, clean and tidy.
It also made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little surprised, but he didn't know that Orochimaru's eyes flashed.
'A guy who only knows how to use his power in such a meaningless waste...'
'When I come back and establish real power, the whole world will dance because of me! '
Orochimaru, who had already made up his mind, turned around and prepared to lead the army. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking a cigarette and looking at Orochimaru's back, flashed a trace of confusion and guilt in his eyes.
'Did I see it wrong...or? '
The breath of dry smoke represented the inner struggle of the Third Hokage, but Danzo beside him seemed to have seen some opportunity, with a fierce glint in his eyes.
...
"ah!"
"came back."
Stretching, Kyoshiro walked out of the woods.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was no response from the ghost-eyed maniac in his heart.
Soon, he noticed that next to the girl waiting on the roadside, there was a tall man with unruly red hair and bloody eyes.
This is the original appearance of the ghost-eyed maniac.
"you..."
Kyoshiro looked at Guiyan Kuang. He never imagined that this person could exist alone in his soul body.
"Yeah...it feels like I can finally move freely..."
His white teeth were exposed, his arrogance looked down upon the world, and his ghostly eyes looked toward the sky.
"marvelous!"
Shiina Yuya, who looked confused, had no idea when this tall red-haired man came over or who he was.
On the contrary, Kyoshiro went into the woods and seemed to turn around and come out.
Let her just about blurt it out.
"Do you have bad kidneys?!"
As soon as these words came out, Guiyan Kuang burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
The shock caused the birds and animals on both sides of the road to flee in panic.
At the same time, in the deepest part of the residence of the Rensheng clan, the body that had no soul and was now being transformed seemed to have sensed something and showed a smile.
Only Kyoshiro looked at Shiina Yuya, who was a little embarrassed, and Guiyan Kuang, who was laughing wildly, with a speechless expression, and his face became visibly gloomy.
...
"I'm back!"
Carrying two bowls of hot porridge and water, Tanjiro returned to his own world again, as if he had opened the door and entered.
Anyway, in Nezuko's mind now, it seems that her brother pushed the door open and went out, and then came in again the next moment.
Then there were two more bowls of fragrant things in my hand.
You know, even though Nezuko didn't need to rely on human flesh and blood to stay sane because of the fried chicken before, she didn't even need to eat anything to be able to move.
But in fact, she is still unable to accept human food as a supplement.
I can only squat and rest most of the day, and the time I can run out and play is less than two hours.
There is nothing that can be done about it. No matter how powerful the existence is, it still needs a source of power.
If you don't eat, you can only rely on rest to slowly regain your strength.
But this time, the things that her brother brought back gave Nezuko a rare appetite, and she even recalled the taste of chewing them subconsciously when she was in a coma.
She swore that the taste was the best she had ever tasted in her life!
"Uh-huh, uh-huh?!"
He couldn't help but put his head over and dangling on the edge of the two casseroles. The look of Nezuko made Tanjiro feel a little distressed.
Of course he knew why Nezuko was so excited.
The feeling of being without food for a long time is unbearable for any adult, let alone a little girl like Nezuko?
Tanjiro was seen with a smile on his face, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
He opened a casserole in front of Nezuko and took out a spoon.
"Eat, eat, Nezuko!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of white lotus seemed to flash out of the casserole, and then dissipated in an instant, but the lotus floated in the air.
It actually directly caused countless members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were training or recuperating at Ubuyashiki's house to feel that all their injuries were relieved a lot.
As the foreign fragrance spread, it naturally attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Pillars.
Reminiscing that Tanjiro had just entered, several people looked at each other and couldn't help showing expressions of horror.
"Is it really...?!"
