Chapter 705: Shocking the World!
Within the span of a few hours, all the leaders of various hidden villages received messages from Kumogakure. No matter who it was, every single one was shocked.
In Kirigakure, Mangetsu read the scroll and muttered in disbelief, "Impossible!"
He immediately got up and went to inform the Fourth Mizukage.
In the rebel camp, Mei had a similar stunned reaction. However, a smile immediately appeared on her face as she muttered, "Interesting. To think that someone would humiliate Kumogakure. However, why wasn't the Raikage in the village?"
In Sunagakure, Rasa read the report with a solemn expression. He had the same doubt as Mei when a certain memory surfaced in his mind. He thought, 'Irrespective of why the Raikage and the Jinchurikis weren't in Kumogakure, this event will destabilize Kumogakure. Even though the means are different, the end result will be similar to how my position became unstable a few years ago. Was Konoha behind this as well?'
He quickly analyzed before concluding, 'This is undoubtedly Konoha's work! Lightning masters are rare outside Kumogakure. The only famous one is Hatake Kakashi. If I assume that Suzuki Fujin destabilizing the Land of Wind was some sort of test, then this could be a test for Hatake Kakashi. Unfortunately for Konoha, they've picked the worst time to do this…'
A glint appeared in Rasa's eyes as he had an idea. He decided, 'Orochimaru hasn't given me any response on how to deal with the rank S ninjas in Konoha. However, if we can ally with Kumogakure as well, then we won't have much difficulty in crushing Konoha. I need to act quickly!'
In Iwagakure, Onoki read the two reports. Kitsuchi was with him as well. A serious expression appeared on their faces. Kitsuchi muttered, "Strange… This is very strange! An entire base suddenly became empty and for some reason, Kumogakure decided to send a whole army. This should mean that they were already aware of what caused that base to be emptied and the threat was large enough to dispatch an army.
Yet, the army fell into a trap despite having a Grandmaster. While returning, they ran into this Akuro fellow and he not only fought them but also went to Kumogakure and humiliated them to this degree. Have you heard of this guy?"
