Chapter 232: Kazekage Ninja- - 21: Stand at Attention
"What!? The Third Raikage is visiting Sunagakure for a diplomatic mission? Why is he coming here? How did Jinghang end up in the Land of Earth? How did they get tangled up together?"
In the hotel at Sunagakure, Danzo, listening to the report from the Konoha Anbu, felt his mind was in a mess, asking three disjointed questions. The masked Anbu member hesitated for a moment before daring to reply.
"Sir, based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, the advisory team has conducted an analysis. Here is the debrief report."
With that, he handed over a sealed envelope.
Danzo took the envelope, glanced at the wax seal and the closure, but didn’t hurry to open it.
"Debrief? So, you’re saying the events have already unfolded, and you’re still making guesses? Is this how you conduct intelligence work? Since when did ninjas rely on imagination and speculation for intelligence gathering? What’s the point of such a debrief?"
"My apologies, but the counter-espionage efforts of Sunagakure and Kumogakure are indeed formidable. Over the years..."
"And you still have the nerve to mention these years to me? Haven’t I allocated enough funds to you over these years? And this is what I get in return—this laughable debrief intelligence? Do you take me for a school teacher grading homework?!"
Danzo was about to throw the report at the Anbu’s face but reconsidered, reluctantly opening the seal and scanning through it quickly.
"Hmm!"
Gradually, Danzo’s gaze became serious. The debrief report was not the fanciful, perfunctory work he had imagined. Instead, it provided a clear analysis of the recent movements and intentions of the Kazekage and Raikage, with numerous supporting evidence.
