September 10th.

The weather seems not to be as hot and muggy as it was in July and August, and the refreshing breeze blows across the water of the pond, bringing little ripples.

In a media quiet room, the daimyo and kage of the four countries who held a remote meeting again looked much more solemn than a few days ago.

Two days ago, the latest information about the mysterious organization sent from Konoha has been sent to the daimyo and shadows of these countries. I believe that after reading the above information, their thoughts will be settled.

Whether they continue to penetrate into the Kingdom of Rain or stop in time, it means that time is precious and cannot be wasted. An inexplicable sense of urgency is suppressed in the hearts of these people.

The daimyo of the four countries remained silent during the meeting, leaving the venue to the four shadows for negotiation. No matter how successful they were politically, if they wanted to achieve the ultimate goal, they still had to use excessive force to solve the final problem.

Although it is a good thing to subjugate the enemy without fighting, there are too few such examples. No matter how weak some small countries are, their bones may not be soft. Especially for a country like the Country of Rain that has been devastated by wars and has experienced many wars.

, causing this country to start to stick together for warmth, and in terms of character, it is also tougher and more courageous than people in many countries.

"It's been a few days. Let's each give our own answers now. First of all, we at Kumogakure will not give up. According to the investigation information, there are indeed many anomalies in the country of Rain. That leader

Payne’s identity is even more of a mystery, and a guy like this who doesn’t even dare to show his face already speaks volumes.”

The fourth Raikage was the first to exit. He was lying on a large sofa with his hands folded in front of his chest. Behind the sofa stood a tall, dark-skinned woman, about 28 or 28 years old.

It's Mabui, the Fourth Raikage's secretary.

She stood behind, saying nothing, just listening to the content of the meeting quietly.

"But this way, we can't conclude that he has any dealings with that organization, or even suspect that he is a member of that organization. Raikage's words are too alarmist. You know, let's focus our attention on the Kingdom of Rain.

This is what a certain person behind the scenes wants to see happen. He hopes that both us and the organization will suffer losses. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have sent two separate intelligence lists with different personnel lists before.”

Luo Sha said in a calm voice.

Hearing Luo Sha's words, the fourth generation Lei Yingying thought of something extremely bad, and the muscles on his face twitched violently.

They, Kumogakure, had also searched for the two previous lists of spies from the Kingdom of Ghosts. After that, he sent Kumogakure's dark department to start a secret investigation. Only in the end did he discover that these spies found out were no match for the spies from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Above, they are all spies from the villages of Konoha Root and Sunagakure.

However, of course, the Fourth Raikage would not say such a shameful thing directly.

The rest of the kage also mentioned this a little bit, without going into details. After all, their experiences were exactly the same as those of the fourth generation Raikage, and they were extremely resentful towards the man behind the scenes.

It cannot be said that this spy information is meaningless. Whether it is a spy from the Kingdom of Ghosts or a spy from the current Allied Forces, as long as the spy can be caught, it has value. However, this value is far from reaching their expected effect.

It was even arranged.

It was later deduced that the two pieces of information might have been produced by the same person.

The purpose was simply to focus their attention on the Country of Rain, and with careful investigation, there were indeed some confusing places within this country.

The biggest anomaly is Payne, the leader who only shows his voice but does not show his face.

The Country of Rain is not closed, but Yuyin is extremely closed and refuses to communicate with the outside world. In this village, all you can see are locals from Yuyin, and you can't see any outsiders.

A place like this that is closed off and does not communicate with the outside world can easily breed problems and hidden dangers.

"The pusher was probably done by the Kingdom of Demons. Didn't the Hokage say that the Kingdom of Demons had many fights with that organization? In the first incident, the Kingdom of Demons also provided some help. It's just that we can't be sure.

If there is a problem with Yuyin, I don't think that directly interfering with Yuyin will be a good result. Now that the international situation has finally calmed down, I don't want to mess around with this old man. I will only infiltrate with a small number of elites for the time being.

, surveillance is the main thing.”

Onoki said this.

This represents the attitude of the Earth Kingdom, which focuses on infiltration and surveillance. When the truth is not certain, there is no need to provoke Yugakure, who seems a bit troublesome.

Normally, he might be a little happy. After all, weakening the Kingdom of Rain will have a great effect on the stability of the Kingdom of Earth.

But now that the Earth Kingdom is being stared at by the Oni Kingdom ninjas to the west, there is not much room for freeing hands.

"My opinion is the same as Mr. Ohnoki's. In the current environment of the ninja world, you cannot act haphazardly. Send a small number of ninjas who are proficient in lurking to infiltrate from various aspects. Although it will take a little longer, it is better to be safe."

Tsunade also expressed her opinion.

She has considered negotiating directly with Amegakure and investigating in his village, but this behavior is no less than declaring war on Amegakure. Moreover, there is a blood feud between Amegakure and Konoha, so Konoha proposed such negotiations.

If this method is used, the mission will most likely be directly blasted out by Yugakure's people, starting a war between the two villages.

At this juncture, you can avoid trouble as much as possible.

"I agree with the views of Tsuchikage and Hokage. The Demon Kingdom is very tight-knit. If Kumogakure can lend some troops, the Tsuchikage and I can contain some of the main force of the Demon Kingdom, and we can free up manpower.

Let’s deal with the Yugakure problem.”

Luo Sha expressed his wishes and hoped that Yunyin could also send troops to contain the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

He knows that Kumogakure also has his own fleet, and he can start from the sea area and join forces with Kirigakure to contain the sea power of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"Hmph, Kumogakure's power will not be wasted like this." The Fourth Raikage sneered at Rasa's words and continued: "The most important thing now is to find the lost tailed beast. As long as the tailed beast can be found, you can deal with the ghosts."

I have enough confidence in my country. It is simply embarrassing for my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to be here now. Since you all have backed down, then let us, Yuyin, handle the matter of investigating Yuyin head-on!"

After saying that, the Fourth Raikage turned off the screen without waiting for the other shadows' reaction.

…

The country of thunder, hidden in the clouds.

In the office, Mabuyi, who felt helpless about the Fourth Raikage's previous behavior, said: "Raikage-sama, please calm down. The people in those villages obviously intend to put us in front. If there is no problem with Yugakure,

Then it will only be us, Kumogakure, who offends Amegakure. If there is a problem with Amegakure, then Kumogakure will suffer a big loss from the beginning. The power of an organization that recruits S-class rebellious ninjas and possesses many tailed beasts cannot be underestimated.

watch for."

From Mabuyi's point of view, those few shadows were all embarrassed on the surface, but in their hearts they definitely hoped that Kumogakure would be the one to take the lead.

The other villages that followed behind did not need to be charged with interfering in their internal affairs, nor did they worry about their own safety.

However, this is not a good thing for Yunyin.

The Fourth Raikage, who had calmed down, seemed to have thought of this as well.

He can easily do some irrational things when he has a bad temper, but that doesn't mean he likes to be teased.

"So, what should we do next?"

The Fourth Raikage left the problem to Mabuyi to deal with.

The Raikage Secretary is there to deal with the trouble he caused.

Mabuyi coughed and said: "Fortunately, Raikage-sama, you didn't say everything to death, so just treat what you said before as verbal rhetoric. Just say that a head-on investigation of Yugakure requires a lot of preparation, so spend your time

Just delay it. After all, the one who is most anxious now is not Kumogakure, but Sunagakure and Iwagakure who are directly suppressed by the Kingdom of Demons."

"You mean..."

"Since they said they were targeted by the Kingdom of Demons and couldn't free their hands, then let's make their wishes come true. Then we secretly released the news that Kumogakure was about to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Demons, abandon these three villages, and join forces with the Demon Kingdom.

Investigate this organization together with the Kingdom of Ghosts, and frequently send missions to secretly visit the Kingdom of Ghosts, making a formal gesture of alliance with the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Mabuyi said without emotion.

The words of the Kazekage and Tsuchikage were completely ignored by Mabuyi. Even if they were targeted by the Demon Country, how could it be possible that Ninja Villages at the level of Sunagakure and Iwagakure could not take action? According to Mabuyi's estimation,

Even if they are suppressed by the Kingdom of Demons, it is not a problem for these two villages to gather five or six thousand ninjas each. Konoha may be able to gather even more ninjas.

"Mabuyi, do you think Yugakure is related to that organization?"

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Mabuyi's eyes remained calm: "I was just suspicious at first, but then I investigated some things and found that some places in the Kingdom of Rain are very strange."

"strangeness?"

"That is the Rain Country's import of arms, commodities and food. Lord Raikage, a small country that has been devastated by several wars has solved the domestic food and clothing problem within more than ten years, resulting in political stability and people's harmony. This is not a miracle.

It is an easy task. It can even be said that for the Country of Rain, which is poor in resources, has a collapsed economy, and has displaced people, it is impossible to achieve the answer without the intervention of strong external forces."

The Fourth Raikage was thoughtful.

This is indeed an unexpected entry point.

"The existing businessmen in the Country of Rain are basically not in the mainstream. In addition, the internal resources of the Country of Rain are poor. If you want to do business well and promote economic development, you will not be able to succeed if there is no one to support each other and provide them with initial capital.

Developed. Because the wealthy merchants of the Country of Rain had almost escaped during the war. There is also a problem with the large quantities of imported food. How did Amegakure get it? Was he squeezed by Danzo Nebe?

If they can survive, where will the money come from?"

The Fourth Raikage became more and more surprised the more he thought about it.

Although he does not understand this aspect, he also knows that without a large amount of funds or resources that can be converted into money, it is impossible for the Rain Country to develop to the level of subsistence and clothing within ten years.

Yuyin, on the other hand, is not that wealthy.

"In addition, Darui used the secret techniques of Konoha's mountain clan to explore the memories in the brains of some lone Amegakure ninjas, including an Amegakure jounin. The final result found that the brains of these Amegakure ninjas were

, the memory about the leader Payne and the divine envoy is zero. Either this part of the memory has been cleared, or... they have never seen those two people. But the god, and the divine envoy,

He also effectively controls Yuyin and becomes the protector of the Kingdom of Rain."

The abnormal trade of goods, the gods and their envoys who are so mysterious that even the Amegakure ninjas cannot know their true identities... Various signs indicate that there are big problems within this village.

"In the past few years, we have basically searched the countries that can be searched. Now there are fewer and fewer places where there is search space. Since there are so many problems in the Country of Rain, we might as well give it a try, even if it is really

As predicted, we Kumogakure and Amegakure are so far apart that the fire of war will not be able to burn here for a while. Instead, the villages of Konoha must go to put out the fire as soon as possible."
