Kumogakure!
"That old geezer Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead!"
After just finishing reading the intelligence report sent back at top speed by the spy lurking in Konoha.
The Fourth Raikage laughed excitedly.
"Hahaha, well done, Uchiha!"
"After this battle, both the Uchiha and Konoha have suffered countless casualties and heavy losses."
"The Konoha higher-ups are either dead or have fled!"
"At this time, Konoha is undoubtedly at its weakest in history. If we can send troops quickly, we will surely be able to catch Konoha off guard!"
"Men…"
"Lord Raikage!!"
The Fourth Raikage's words were not finished.
His secretary, Mabui, directly interrupted him.
"Mabui, what's the meaning of this? Are you trying to undermine me!" The Raikage glanced at Mabui and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Lord Raikage, please calm down and listen to me!" Mabui said with a helpless expression.
Lord Raikage is good at everything, just too hasty!
"I am calm now. If you're going to persuade me to give up this opportunity to attack the Land of Fire and Konoha, then before I lose my temper, you'd better shut up!" The Raikage said bluntly.
"Lord Raikage, it's not that I'm persuading you to give up, but because I feel that now is not the best time to attack Konoha!" Mabui said.
"Now is not the best time to attack Konoha? Then when is?" The Fourth Raikage, A, glared and questioned.
"Doesn't the intelligence report say that Shimura Danzo went to the Capital of the Land of Fire after fleeing Konoha?
The Sarutobi clansmen also happened to go to the Capital of the Land of Fire!
Besides that.
Jiraiya and Tsunade also seem to be heading towards the Capital of the Land of Fire.
These people will gather in the Capital of the Land of Fire at about the same time!
Lord Raikage, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence!"
Mabui said.
Jiraiya and Tsunade's whereabouts were not a secret.
As long as one wanted to obtain it.
Kumogakure could easily find out.
As for Orochimaru, Kumogakure had no clue of his whereabouts, so naturally, they didn't know that he was also rushing towards the Capital of the Land of Fire at this time.
"Coincidence my ass! Someone must be taking the lead, telling them to gather in the Capital of the Land of Fire," Although the Fourth Raikage was crude and reckless, he was also cunning.
He was not lacking in wisdom and quickly understood what was going on.
"The one taking the lead must be Danzo!" The Fourth Raikage said with a confident expression.
As for why the Fourth Raikage was so sure it was Danzo, and not Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Tsunade, or the others.
It was because he knew that although Sarutobi Shinnosuke was the ANBU commander of Konoha.
His prestige was insufficient.
He could not suppress either Tsunade or Jiraiya.
To gather this force.
Would be a thankless task!
Because at that time, he wouldn't be the one calling the shots in this force.
As for Tsunade and Jiraiya, they were both traveling outside, and their information was more delayed than Danzo's and Sarutobi Shinnosuke's.
Without anyone to inform them.
They probably wouldn't know until the news had completely spread.
Therefore, it was also impossible for them to be the ones taking the lead.
Thus, only Danzo was left.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead! This has given Shimura Danzo an opportunity. As long as he can gather the Sannin and the Sarutobi clansmen and retake Konoha! Then he can become the new Hokage with this merit!" The Fourth Raikage said with a playful smile.
"It should be like that!" Mabui said.
"In that case, the Uchiha and Danzo's group will surely have a battle next. Mabui, you're right, now is not the time to attack the Land of Fire.
It won't be too late for us to enter the field after Danzo and the Uchiha have another fight and both sides are heavily wounded."
"Lord Raikage is wise!" Mabui said respectfully.
"Alright, stop flattering me! Pass down the order, tell the spies lurking in Konoha and the Capital of the Land of Fire to get moving. I want to know every single move that happens next."
"Yes!" Mabui replied.
"Also, send some more people to infiltrate the Land of Fire," The Fourth Raikage said after thinking for a moment.
After all.
To have further control over the intelligence of Uchiha Shin, Danzo, and the others, he had to be willing to invest.
"Yes!"
Iwagakure!
"Hahaha, that old coot Sarutobi Hiruzen, playing with eagles all day, finally got his eyes pecked by an eagle, and completely messed up!"
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki of Both Scales, at this time, looked at the intelligence report sent back by his spy and couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
However, getting carried away easily leads to disaster.
The next moment.
Onoki twisted his waist.
"Ah, my back!"
A miserable scream echoed throughout the Tsuchikage's office.
"Father, are you alright?" Kitsuchi asked with a simple and honest expression of concern.
"It's fine, it's fine, it's an old problem. I'll be alright!" Onoki waved his hand.
"Konoha is in civil strife, the Third Hokage and two advisors have been killed, Shimura Danzo has fled Konoha. Both the Uchiha and Konoha ninjas have suffered huge losses.
Now Konoha is undoubtedly at its weakest period in history. Lord Third, should we directly send troops to attack the Land of Fire?"
At this time, an elite Jonin about the same age as Kitsuchi asked.
He was the ANBU commander of Iwagakure.
His power was great.
"Konoha's weakest period in history? Is that really so?" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, glanced at the ANBU commander and asked in return.
"Is it not?" The Iwagakure ANBU commander was taken aback.
"You fool, didn't you read what was written in the intelligence report? Uchiha Shin simultaneously activated ten Susanoos!
A full ten!
Sarutobi Hiruzen led a full eight thousand troops to surround and annihilate the Uchiha, but in the end, he was defeated by Uchiha Shin alone, who was driving ten Susanoos.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen died in that battle!
Do you think a Konoha with such combat power is in its weakest era?
How dare you say that!" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, scolded him harshly.
"Lord Third is right to reprimand me, I was too complacent!"
The ANBU commander's face changed slightly, and he quickly admitted his mistake to Onoki.
"Then, father, what should we do next?" Kitsuchi asked.
"Keep a close eye on Kumogakure. If Kumogakure doesn't move, we don't move. If Kumogakure moves, we will act according to the situation!" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, said in a deep voice.
Kumogakure was powerful.
And also the most restless.
With such a big event, it was impossible for Kumogakure not to make a move.
"Yes, Father (Lord Third)!" Kitsuchi and the ANBU commander looked at each other and replied in unison.
"Sigh! Konoha is indeed the cradle of geniuses, and the Uchiha geniuses are even more endless.
Uchiha Shin is showing his brilliance. He might become the next Uchiha Madara.
Unfortunately, with Iwagakure alone, it's difficult to nip him in the bud!"
Onoki sighed.
"Since that's the case, why don't we tell the other ninja villages about the danger of Uchiha Shin, and then join forces to get rid of him," Kitsuchi said.
