Chapter 219 - 7: A Hero Among Thousands (Part 2)
Strategic Chamber, Kazekage Tower
"Advancing deep into enemy territory with no reinforcements—that’s a cardinal sin in warfare! Looks like the Raikage might be in trouble this time."
Inside the war room of the Kazekage Tower, Jing Hang tapped the map thoughtfully as he spoke.
"Still, the Third Raikage is immensely powerful. Even though his forces are few, they’re all elite. Iwagakure, on the other hand, may have the numbers, but they’re lacking in top-tier fighters. I’d say it’s a fifty-fifty chance," Rasa analyzed calmly.
"Fifty-fifty? Not even close. Kumogakure is bound to lose," Yamashita Tetsu interjected as he pushed the door open, handing over a piece of intelligence while casually grabbing the tea from Rasa’s desk and downing it in one gulp.
"I already drank from that," Rasa said, his tone tinged with mild disgust.
"No problem, I don’t mind," Yamashita Tetsu replied nonchalantly, spitting out a tea leaf stem.
Ignoring the banter, Jing Hang snatched the intelligence report and scanned it rapidly.
"This time, Kumogakure is in serious trouble. If things go south, the Raikage might even lose his life in the Land of Earth," Jing Hang said gravely, passing the report to Rasa.
"What?! The Eight-Tails has gone berserk? How is that even possible?" Rasa exclaimed in shock.
"The intel came from Tu Wei, so there’s no mistake. Someone must have sabotaged the jinchūriki. As for which faction is responsible, we’ll need corroboration from the other Heavenly Stems agents," Yamashita Tetsu explained.
