Trap...

As the war progressed, the death toll increased more and more. Many people in Konoha wanted to end the war quickly, so Yoru's plan was quickly implemented. They had already made arrangements in advance, as long as Yoru and Shisui can catch the Jinchuruki, they can immediately launch the annihilation plan.

In a forest, Yoru and Shisui were heading in a certain direction. According to the information, there were traces of the tailed beast there.

However, when they hurried to the lake, where the target was, they found nothing but the traces of the battle.

"Are we late?" Shisui murmured while looking at the traces on the ground.

"Not necessarily." At this moment, Yoru suddenly looked up at the mist not far away.

The moment Yoru spoke, the mist suddenly changed and rushed towards them. The two quickly jumped away to avoid the mist, and the moment they retreated, a dozen of ninjas had already surrounded them. And the leader was...

"Fourth Raikage!." Shisui had already drawn his sword, his whole body tensed seeing the figure in front of him.

Kage is the strongest fighting force in the nation on the surface so Shisui never thought that the other party would appear because of the two of them. The gear in his head turned as he quickly understood something.

Trap. Thinking of this, Shisui became anxious and searched for a path for retreat.

In contrast, Yoru was much calmer.

"Looking at this place, it seems like it was specially prepared for us. I didn't think we were famous enough for Raikage himself to come to deal with us."

Trap... The previous information about the tailed beast was a trap to lure them here and the other party should have known about the arrangement he had planned for Konoha. This shows that there might be a spy in Konoha or there is someone in the upper management of Konoha who is collaborating with Kumo.

"Which one of you kids is named Yoru?" Raikage stepped forward and yelled at the two of them.

"Well, it's me. I am honored that Raikage knows my humble self." Yoru smiled slightly, and couldn't help but find the current situation interesting.

"Are you still in the mood to joke now, Yoru?" Shisui smiled bitterly, but he couldn't help but admire Yoru's calmness.

"Otherwise, Crying and begging for forgiveness? Do you think they will agree?"

"I don't think it's possible."

"Yes, I also think it's impossible. So instead of waiting to die without knowing how, it's better to say what you want to say. Well, Raikage-sama, can you please satisfy my little request before we die? I am curious. Who was the one who passed our information to you?" Yoru thought for a while and spoke slowly.

Faced with Yoru's question, Raikage refused directly without much deliberations.

"The dead doesn't need to know much."

"Well, it makes sense. However Raikage-sama, please be careful and smart, so you will not be fooled. Is the plan that was told to you complete?Or is the plan you got only a fraction of the entire plan? Or maybe the plan was only about our mission?" Facing Raikage, Yoru continued to ask.

Although Raikage in front of him seemed to possess a fiery temper, he was thinking about his words. As long as you're not an idiot, then he can communicate with the other party.

"What do you mean?" Raikage paused hearing Yoru. He raised his hand to stop the subordinate who wanted to attack immediately.

Of course, he has also heard the legend of Yoru, but in his opinion, it is only the mentally unstable who will be influenced by Yoru. He is the Raikage, a man with the will of steel, how could he be affected by mere words.

What he didn't know was that before that, many people had held the same thought but...

"Being able to set up this trap, there is no doubt that someone at the upper level of Konoha informed you about this plan which was known to only a few people." Noticing Raikage's willingness to listen, he became happier and happier.

"The plan that only a select few know about..."

"That's right! Our purpose is top secret within the konoha mission system. Even if you found out about what our mission was, you must only know the part of mission. Because that's something other party deliberately let you know. The information you have is only the small part of the whole mission. So, the question is, Who told you about the plan? How much do you know about the plan?"

After a few questions, Raikage fell into the silence.

"..."

At this time, Raikage couldn't help but start thinking about the source of information, and at the same time about the information itself. The information he got was just like Yoru said, that Yoru and others were going to catch the tailed beast. As for the rest, nothing was said. It seems that the information he knows is just a fragment of the entire mission.

If that's the case that means he's being used as a gun to kill others.

"When you thought you got the information and started besieging us, I wonder if you thought about another question that you are also a pawn in someone's chess game, Raikage-sama?" Seeing Raikage's silence, Yoru continued to speak.,

It seems that he was right. The person who revealed the plan was not the Kumo spy, but a high level executive with ulterior motive. That person may have their own set of plans, and all of them were treated as pawns.

Deliberately revealing our whereabouts and purpose, attracting Raikage to personally come with his main force. Does that person want to take the opportunity to attack the Kumo frontline ? No, no if that's the case then instead of being busy dealing with us, Raikage would go to support the Kumo frontline immediately after finding a disturbance.
