Chapter 765: Kumo's Target?
Unlike Suna and Kiri, Iwa and Kumo didn't have any spies in Konoha. As such, they received messages about the attack a few hours after them. As soon as Onoki looked through the scroll, he broke out into a huge laughter.
Kurotsuchi glanced at her father and looked into his eyes, as if questioning, 'Did Gramps finally go senile?'
Onoki's laughter abruptly ended and he screamed in pain, "Ouch! My back! I strained it again!"
Kitsuchi sighed and helped Onoki out while Kurotsuchi asked, "What is in the scroll, Gramps?"
Onoki replied, "It's quite amusing. Take a look."
Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi read the scroll and their eyes widened in shock. Kitsuchi muttered, "So, Suna finally betrayed Konoha."
Kurotsuchi added, "Not just that! They were attacked by the Third Hokage's student too! Konoha is weird."
Onoki said, "Now it makes sense. Konoha should have known about Suna's betrayal and expected the attack. That is why, they hit Kumo preemptively so that Kumo wouldn't be able to take advantage of their weakness. As expected of Hiruzen and Danzo."
Kitsuchi nodded and asked, "Should we be taking advantage of the Third Hokage's state?"
