Chapter 288: 281: Confession
It was a mid-day in May.
"A lot has been happening recently.. the outside world seem to have become restless."
Kakashi sighed with emotion as he was sorting information in the intelligence room. Due to the mask covering his face, his expression remained inscrutable.
"Yeah, I never expected a day would arrive when a neutral country would be threatened... What exactly is Suna doing?" After hearing Kakashi's remark, Tenzo responded.
Konoha now had a relatively small number of Anbu squad going out for patrol and intelligence gathering due to the situation with the Uchiha.
In addition, the Land of Demons was on the other side, quite far away from the Land of Fire. By the time Konoha's Anbu had gotten hold of the information, it had already been a week since Suna began conducting their military exercises on the border of the Land of Demons.
Due to the recent internal turmoil, Konoha's external intelligence system was already weak in gathering outside information. Otherwise, the information concerning Suna should have been passed within days after their operation.
"This has nothing to do with us. The neutral country is under military coercion. There's a high probability that the international community will eventually mediate and clean up this mess."
From the general logic, that would be the likely outcome. However, the man in the Land of Demons who was orchestrating the whole incident behind the scenes wouldn't let it end so easily, and Kakashi knew the Land of Demons had already launched an operation.
