Chapter 370: A Blade in the Dark
The Jonin Council meeting room was dead silent.
The jonin in the back rows didn't even move their heads, afraid that the rustling of their collars would make a sound. They merely scanned the village powerhouses in the front row with their eyes.
Before the Jonin Assembly Meeting, they had already heard plenty of rumors.
At first, word was that Orochimaru would become an advisor; later, it was said the Anbu Commander would take the position.
None of the jonin would have questioned either of them taking the role.
But for some reason, neither candidate had succeeded. Otherwise, the village wouldn't have brought the matter to the Jonin Assembly Meeting.
The role of Foreign Affairs Advisor was simply too dangerous. It required frequent diplomatic missions to various countries, even the other four great ninja villages.
If one lacked sufficient strength, they were highly likely to be assassinated en route.
Even Advisor Homura Mitokado, an experienced Kage Level ninja, had died.
