Atsi's face was contorted with rage, his tall, strong body brimming with violent resentment.
Even so, even though every nerve in his body was transmitting the desire to tear this little brat in front of him to pieces, he was not stupid and dared not rashly choose to make a move in this situation.
Because, although the boy in their field of vision did not show any power, he did possess a pair of evil eyes that even Killer Bee's older brother had fallen victim to.
This clan,
This evil race deserves to be overthrown!
Just like the Blood Dragon Eye lineage back then!
However, just as Atsi suppressed his anger and was about to lead his companions out of the meeting room, the old man with the cane and bandages spoke slowly again:
"really."
"As you just said, this is a lie that's easy to spot."
"Would Konoha be foolish enough to lie to you with such information?"
"Or is it that the ninjas of Kumogakure don't even have this much discernment?"
Upon hearing this, Atsi's indignant steps suddenly froze, his pupils widened, and his rapidly beating heart stopped abruptly.
Yes, that's where his unease came from.
Could such an easily exposed lie, such a clumsy delaying tactic, really come from the mouth of Konoha's higher-ups?
but,
but!
How could he believe that?
How could he believe it?
Lord Raikage is the strongest...
However, at that very moment, an ANBU ninja wearing a white mask and standard ninja uniform hurried past him, who was frozen in place.
"Lord Hokage, a message from Kumogakure, marked as urgent."
Ha, so this is all just acting. Are they going to go all the way?
Atsi turned his gaze back angrily, his eyes already bloodshot. He could no longer endure it!
However, the eyesight of ninjas who have undergone long-term training far surpasses that of ordinary people, and the letter with special runes seems to be the symbol of their Hidden Cloud Village.
【No,】
【impossible! 】
Absolutely impossible! !
Even though his inner world had been ravaged by such messages, he still denied and roared in his heart, refusing to believe them.
However, the letter from Kumogakure that had been read by the Konoha leadership was then delivered to him.
Atsi had forgotten what she felt when she took the letter, and she didn't know why the words written on it were trembling incessantly in the windless room.
[Your Excellency Hokage, if our envoys have offended you with any words during this trip, please forgive them. They were only concerned for the safety of their comrades.]
With just one glance, Atsi felt dizzy and her entire mind was resonating.
The owner of this handwriting is...
Yes!
[The series of unfriendly incidents that occurred on your battlefield were also due to our fault. Here, please allow me, on behalf of Lord Raikage, to express my deepest apologies to the people of Konoha and to the Konoha ninja who sacrificed their lives in the incident.]
We will subsequently offer you the highest form of compensation as an apology.
Why should we take the initiative to show weakness?
Why should we pay reparations to Konoha?
Why write this letter on behalf of Lord Raikage?
Countless questions roared through Atsi's mind at that moment!
Could it be?
[I believe Your Hokage is already aware of some things. Your side previously proposed cooperation to us in the campaign against the Akatsuki. Here, as the Acting Raikage, my answer is: We are willing.]
[Furthermore, those of us who directly clashed with them also discovered some ability stats and identity information about Akatsuki members during this battle.]
If the cooperation is successful, we will unconditionally share the resources!
why?
Why be so humble!
Why does the text so clearly convey a desire for cooperation?!
Atsi's vision began to blur, and he really didn't want to read any further of those sentences made up of common words.
What kind of bullshit Akatsuki organization is this?
What unknown force?
How could they possibly be a match for the ninjas of Kumogakure?
How could the Raikage, who possesses invincible power, be injured?
He didn't believe it.
I still don't believe it!
Even though the familiar handwriting seemed to belong to someone in the Hidden Cloud Village, he was unwilling to recall that person's name, much less admit that it was that person's handwriting!
At the same time, I need to be aware that the Akatsuki's true purpose is definitely not as simple as becoming mercenaries for some small countries, fighting for them and earning commissions, as they have done before.
What they want are Jinchūriki, or more accurately, Tailed Beasts!!
[We will continue to share detailed information and inferences unconditionally even after the cooperation agreement is reached.]
[I think it's not impossible that the Akatsuki organization, which you mentioned earlier, is plotting to revive the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara.]
Because no one knows what kind of energy will be unleashed when all nine tailed beasts are gathered. Even Hashirama Senju, the former leader, only allocated eight of the tailed beasts to him.
Tailed beast!
Atsi's hands trembled even more violently, and his chaotic thoughts kept replaying the image of that young adult!
Could it be that
Could it be that the two proud and powerful Lady Yugito have truly perished?!
hateful!
He didn't believe it.
He really doesn't believe it!
After all, that was a proud being that easily tamed the Two-Tailed Matatabi!
[I also sent this message to the leaders of the four villages of Sunagakure, Iwata, Kiri, and Taki, hoping that the major powers possessing the Tailed Beasts will truly take this matter seriously and join forces to eradicate this terrifying and sinister organization!]
Oh, right.
The handwriting suddenly became heavy and quick.
[As I write this letter, Lord Raikage has awakened and is expected to fully recover soon. At that time, the Fourth Hokage will continue negotiations with your side.]
We hope that, for the sake of the greater good, His Hokage will uphold the prestige of the Greatest Ninja Village and refrain from making things difficult for our ninjas.
[The acting Raikage of Kumogakure: Darui.]
The sentence ends here.
Yes, yes, that familiar handwriting belongs to Lord Darui.
An immense sorrow resounded in Atsi's heart.
However, ninjas have many abilities, and imitating handwriting is just a minor skill.
"I will contact the village myself."
"Lord Raikage will not be defeated. If we discover that this is all a fabrication..."
"Konoha, just wait for your revenge!"
Atsui uttered harsh words with a twisted expression, then staggered out the door, clutching the letter from Kumogakure tightly in his hand.
He was eager to verify the truth of the matter!
The Cloud Village ninjas who accompanied them also mostly looked distraught, their arrogance and disdain gone, replaced by blank stares and panic.
After the Cloud Village delegation hastily retreated, the atmosphere in the conference room became awkward and stiff once again.
The Akatsuki's surprise attack on the Land of Lightning was indeed something that happened without any warning.
For Konoha, this not only served as a wake-up call but also presented them with a great gift: an end to the war.
"Do I still need to kill myself? For the sake of peace between Konoha and Kumogakure."
"Sandaime-sama."
Huang broke the tense atmosphere first, his surging gaze fixed ironically on the white-haired old man sitting in the main seat, emphasizing the word 'peace'.
“Don’t be so presumptuous!”
"Every decision the Third Hokage made just now was for the sake of Konoha."
"As the head of the Uchiha clan, you should be aware of this!"
Mitomon En shouted angrily.
Behind those oval-shaped glasses, his gaze was filled with resentment.
"Ha, did I even speak to you?"
His words were disdainful, but his eyes held a dangerous glint.
"You weren't showing off just now. Or is it that Advisor Yan only dares to be arrogant towards his own comrades in Konoha, while he can only grovel and fawn over other forces?"
They showed no leniency whatsoever.
After all, he was destined to leave this place.
