"Haha, beating the Kyubi with two punches and throwing it around like a ragged doll, is it?"
"If Konoha really wants to throw us off with a fake information, they should at least try a little harder. If they want us to believe in this news, at least use some famous Shinobi instead of a newly promoted Jonin."
The Fourth Raikage laughed mockingly as he looked at the recently collected information in his office.
He once subdued the berserk Hachibi with his father, and Hachibi Jinchuriki back then was his cousing, so he knew how terrifying a Tailed-Beast was.
He believed that Konoha could subdue Kyubi and sealed it back as Konoha was the strongest village at the moment. However, he certainly wouldn't believe if there was someone in Konoha who could beat the Kyubi with two punches and then throw it around like a ragged doll.
Even if you have such a tremendous strength, there was no way punching a Tailed Beast Ball with one punch was possible.
Therefore, Raikage felt that this was a rumor that Konoha had deliberately leaked in order to confuse the spies.
Raikage would never believe that some Shinobi that he had never heard of was able to beat Kyubi.
If that person really were that powerful, why didn't he make a name in the 3rd Shinobi World War? If there were such a powerful Shinobi, how could Konoha suffer such a heavy loss in the 3rd Shinobi World War?
There was no way that this person's strength had only reached such a level after the end of the war, so Raikage didn't believe it.
"Since that person can become the Hokage Assistant, he must be quite capable at least. We can't underestimate him." On the other hand, Dodai had a different opinion from A.
"Even if his strength is not bad, the news is just unbelievable."
"That's true. The news indeed exaggerated too much.
"Unfortunately, our spy was brought to the shelter during that incident. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to rely on these inaccurate intel."
It was extremely difficult to send spies into the enemy's Ninja Village and pretend to be the Shinobi there.
This was because most of the Shinobi in Ninja Village graduated from their own Village's Academy. There were also some who had special privileges and could train in their Clans, and then directly become Shinobi.
Naturally, sending a spy into a well-known Clan was hard. Then again, it was harder to sneak a spy into the Academy, because Academy would not admit any student with unknown origins.
All that was left was left ambushing a Shinobi from a village and then used the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves as that Shinobi. However, this would put the spy's Transformation Technique and capability to test.
However, due to the special nature of Chakra, each person's Chakra was different. It might not be that obvious to ordinary Shinobi, but it was very obvious for the keen Shinobi! Therefore, disguise was also very dangerous.
This was also why White Zetsu's disguise technique was the strongest Transformation Technique. In addition to perfectly imitating the target's appearance, he could also copy the target's Chakra, making sensory Ninjutsu completely useless.
To sum it up, disguise as the enemy Shinobi was a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, most village preferred sending their spies to the target village disguising as a civilian. They could still observe the village's movements to a certain extent, and there was a lower chance that the spy would be discovered.
But the awkward thing was, Nagasawa had the Third Hokage ordered the others to evacuate all the civilians to the shelter in advance.
At this moment, it was very difficult for Kumogakure's spy to do anything, because there were Shinobi everywhere. If they did anything funny, they would be surrounded by Konoha's Shinobi.
They had no choice but to evacuate to the shelter. After all, entering Konoha wasn't easy because of the Hyuga Clan,
Among the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konoha had the most Shinobi who specialized in sensory. It was difficult for the other Four Great Shinobi Countries to sneak in spies in Konoha.
"In any case, Konoha's losses this time are not small. First, send a few teams of Shinobi to Yugakure to test Konoha's reaction." The Third Hokage ordered.
There were two small countries between the country of thunder and Land of Fire. One was Tsukigakure and the other was Yugakure.
Yugakure was below Tsukigakure on the map.
If Kumogakure wanted to attack Konoha, there were two routes. One was to enter Yugakure through Tsukigakure and then attack Land of Fire.
The second was to enter from Land of Earth through Tsukigakure. The Land of the Earth was also near the border of the Land of Fire and they could directly attack the Land of Fire from there.
Normally, Kumogakure would bring most of their force through the Yugakure route and then sent a smaller force to the Land of Earth to confuse Konoha.
However, this time, the Fourth Raikage planned to do the opposite. He would send a small group to Yugakure to test Konoha. If there were a chance, he would directly launch a large-scale attack on Konoha from the Land of Earth.
"This is a good opportunity. He has just learned how to use Tailed Beast Ball! Let's give Konoha a surprise. This time, our Jinchuriki is different from before." Raikage smiled when he talked about Killer B.
Although he and Killer B were not blood related, they had shared a strong bond since they were young, and the bond between them was deeper than that of blood-related brothers.
In the past, the Eight-Tails had always been a problem for Kumogakure Shinobi. Because the Eight tails had a bad temper and were powerful, it was very easy to go berserk.
Every time the Eight tails went berserk, it would devastate Kumogakure's military strength. Even the Third Raikage, who had subdued the Eight-Tails several times, accidentally injured himself because of the Eight-Tails once.
But after Killer B became Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki, the situation changed.
Killer B and Eight-Tails got along well, and Killer B became the first person who could completely control the power of a Tailed-Beast.
During the Third Shinobi World War, Killer B had just become a Jinchuriki, and he was still unfamiliar to his newfound power, so he couldn't fully exert Eight-Tails' power.
The Fourth Raikage believed that Killer B would definitely give Konoha a surprise.
As long as Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki did not join the battle, there would be no one who could deal with Eight-Tails.
