And it was even being broadcast live.

Now the entire Shinobi World knew that Hidden Stone Village was helping the Kumogakure rescue the Raikage.

After expressing a bit of amazement,

people looked at the next screen again.

"This is... that bounty hunter?!"

"Why is he here too?!"

"I heard that two days ago, the Land of Lightning issued a mission to rescue the Raikage at the underground exchange. The reward is said to be very generous, so it's probably related to this."

"Oh, is that so? Then it's not surprising."

Kakuzu?

The major Ninja villages frantically searched through their intelligence, but other than knowing that Kakuzu was a Kage-level figure from Takigakure, they didn't have any detailed information.

Wait!

Suddenly, a piece of intelligence caught their attention, and their eyes widened in unison.

He once carried out a mission to assassinate the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama?!

Hiss—

This person is definitely not simple!

Even though the assassination mission failed, that was the God of Shinobi!

The fact that Kakuzu was able to retreat unscathed even after the failed assassination is enough to prove his worth!

"Achoo!"

Kakuzu rubbed his nose, looked around, and suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

This Land of Whirlpools is truly bizarre.

If the bounty wasn't high enough, he wouldn't muddy these waters.

No way, after the mission is over, the pay must be increased!

Skipping Kakuzu's screen,

the Ninja villages that had reviewed Hidden Stone Village's intelligence once again spotted a familiar face.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki!

However, this person was only known to some upper echelons of the Shinobi World, so it didn't cause too much of a sensation.

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes. "Hidden Stone Village is truly making a huge move, actually sending out even a Jinchūriki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat startled.

He originally thought Hidden Stone Village would at most support some Jonin, but he didn't expect them to even use the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

It seems Ōnoki of the Two Scales is determined to secure the Central Mountains!

Behind the footage of the old Roshi was Tutai and some Jonin.

These Jonin were led by Tutai to harass the Land of Whirlpools.

Seeing this configuration, some people raised doubts.

"Just this few people to rescue the Raikage?"

"What do you know? Dispatching a large army takes time. How could it possibly be done in two days!"

Of course, those who knew the situation in the Land of Lightning remained silent.

The Land of Lightning also wanted to send troops, but the containment by the Hollows made it impossible for them to spare any hands.

Unless they truly abandoned the Land of Lightning.

But this was clearly not enough.

Yet A didn't have any worries in his heart.

After all, it was just a rescue mission, and fewer people meant greater mobility.

Just find an opportunity to rescue the Third Raikage and slip away directly.

But clearly, the Land of Whirlpools would not easily give him this opportunity.

Yoruichi Shihouin said, "You guys go deal with the rest of the intruders; leave this place to me."

The captains nodded one after another.

Nowadays, Yoruichi Shihouin, just like Rukia Kuchiki, was a great favorite by Lord Soul King's side.

They wouldn't dare offend her.

Rukia Kuchiki sensed the area, locked onto a position, and used Shunpo to head over.

The remaining captains also went off to find their opponents.

Kuchiki Byakuya quietly waited for a moment, then headed in the direction Rukia Kuchiki had left.

"What a tsundere, incurable sister-con."

Yoruichi Shihouin muttered softly.

A's expression did not change.

It seemed he had anticipated this situation long ago.

However, this was their plan to begin with.

Letting others attract the other combat power of the Land of Whirlpools.

Freeing up the combat power around the Third Raikage, reducing A's pressure so he could find an opportunity to rescue the Third Raikage.

And this effect seemed to be working very well.

Not knowing whether it was this woman's arrogance or stupidity, she actually let everyone leave, truly thinking she could stop him all by herself?

Even Ōnoki of the Two Scales, upon seeing the situation on the projection, couldn't help laughing and saying, "Underestimating A like that—you need to be careful of capsizing in a gutter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi flicked the ash out of his pipe, mentally labeling the Land of Whirlpools as arrogant and complacent.

It looks like the defeats of the Land of Water and Konoha have made the Land of Whirlpools quite inflated.

Did she really think that being fast and having a bit of strength would be enough to stop A?

The Raikage candidate wasn't chosen because he was the son of the Third Raikage, but because of his own strength!

However, this scene was precisely what Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped to see.

If people don't become arrogant, how can they perish?

With the current scene, maybe the Land of Lightning really can rescue the Third Raikage back.

And this failure of the Land of Whirlpools would be the beginning of its downfall!

Just as they were criticizing the arrogance of the Land of Whirlpools, the image on the projection hell butterfly changed once again.

The Ninjas invading the Land of Whirlpools successively encountered their own enemies.

However, what baffled them was—

Gari of the Explosion Release didn't encounter any captain, but instead met an ordinary team member wearing a Soul Reaper Robes who looked thoroughly unremarkable?

"Hey! You're the intruder, right!"

Gari of the Explosion Release frowned and stopped.

That team member drew the sword at his waist, pointed it at him, and said arrogantly, "I heard you're called Gari of the Explosion Release? Does that mean your Explosion Release is very strong?"

Gari of the Explosion Release said with a cold expression, "Killing you is still not a problem."

"Hahaha! Good! Then let me, Munashi Jinpachi, experience your Explosion Release!"

"Let's see whether your Explosion Release is stronger or my Blast Sword is stronger!!"

Munashi Jinpachi!

As soon as this name came out, it instantly startled Ōnoki of the Two Scales and the others in front of the projection screen!

Munashi Jinpachi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

"Munashi Jinpachi? Wasn't it said that he already died during the conflict with the Land of Whirlpools?"

Ōnoki of the Two Scales furrowed his brows tightly. "Could the intelligence be wrong?"

Furthermore, why did Munashi Jinpachi look like he was working for the Land of Whirlpools?

After the Land of Water was occupied by the Land of Whirlpools, these people had no backbone at all, just openly working for the Land of Whirlpools like this?

Not only was Ōnoki of the Two Scales filled with doubt,

even Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others doubted whether their village's intelligence was wrong.

But this piece of intelligence was recorded personally by Sakumo!

And it was something he witnessed with his own eyes!

What on earth was going on?!
