"Uchiha is part of the village. It doesn't matter who is in power in Konohagakure as long as it's one of our own."
With a nonchalant retort, Yan led Shisui to the Konohagakure side and sat down, with Shisui quietly standing behind him.
"He's an unpleasant brat."
Raikage glared at Yan, his fists, almost as big as Yan's head, clenching and unclenching:
"Although many laughable things have happened in Konohagakure, sending a brat as your representative is quite disrespectful to Kumogakure Village."
The representatives from Kirigakure Village, Sunagakure Village, and Iwagakure Village all looked at Yan.
They were curious to see how Yan would respond to Raikage's aggressive pressure.
After all, his every word and action represented Konohagakure.
If he backed down in the face of Raikage's aggression, it would be equivalent to Konohagakure being slapped twice by Kumogakure Village.
Facing Raikage's aggression, Yan amusingly asked:
"I'm curious, why should Konohagakure respect Kumogakure Village?"
As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, respect is mutual.
You want to pressure me and expect me to respect you? Are you out of your mind?
Or do you think I'm Danzo and Tsunade is the Third Hokage?
"We are all representatives of the Five Great Ninja Villages. None of us are subordinates of the others.
As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, does Kumogakure Village expect the other villages to bow down to you?"
As he spoke, Yan signaled to the other villages with his eyes.
Be careful, Raikage has impure motives. Kumogakure Village is very domineering; he wants to be the boss over us!
Not to let everyone be on equal footing.
Yan dragged the other villages into the water.
Since you think Konohagakure doesn't respect you, I'm curious, why should Konohagakure respect you?
Is Kumogakure Village superior, or is Kumogakure Village the leader?
As long as you give me a reasonable explanation, I will immediately give you enough respect.
Cunning brat.
The representatives of the other three villages were speechless. They didn't expect Yan to drag them into the water and put Raikage on the spot.
Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, Kumogakure Village has the strongest military power, and they definitely want to be the leader.
But some things can be done but not openly stated, or it would definitely push the other villages together.
Even the powerful Kumogakure Village wouldn't dare to easily attack all the other villages at once.
"He's a sharp-tongued brat."
Raikage leaned back in his chair, displeased, and questioned:
"I heard Konohagakure has caught a lot of people, some of whom are village merchants. Don't you think Konohagakure should explain this?"
To gather intelligence, the other villages had put in a lot of effort, especially Kumogakure Village, which had the most spies caught by Konohagakure.
Moreover, Kumogakure Village liked to play the game of accusing others when caught.
After all, when it comes to interests, face can be discarded.
So this is what it's all about!
No wonder Raikage has been keeping an eye on the people from Konohagakure since they arrived.
Sending spies to gather intelligence, and when the spies get caught, other villages would definitely deny it.
But only Kumogakure Village would shamelessly demand their return, even resorting to kidnapping or threatening war.
After all, this isn't the first or second time they've done such things.
The Third Raikage was quite fond of these tactics, and as his son, A was even better at it.
"I heard Aunt Hidemi's dog next door gave birth to three puppies. Is that true?"
Yan acted as if he didn't hear A's questioning, leaning back and chatting with Shisui.
Shisui was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but it should be true."
"We must check it out when we get back. Maybe they can be trained as ninja dogs."
"Yeah."
"???"
Watching Yan and Shisui's random chatter about Aunt Hidemi's dog giving birth, Terumi Mei, who was acting as a bodyguard behind the village elder, almost burst out laughing.
Yan's move was quite clever, leaving A hanging.
The people from Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village also had strange expressions on their faces.
A, full of question marks, quickly realized he was being played. Already hot-tempered, he slammed the table and angrily said:
"Uchiha Yan, please answer my question directly. The matter of whose dog gave birth in your family has nothing to do with Kumogakure Village.
Please don't bring irrelevant matters here."
"It has nothing to do with Kumogakure Village?"
Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes."
A, with a dark face and flaring nostrils, nodded vigorously, wanting to punch the kid.
Yan suddenly understood:
"So it has nothing to do with Kumogakure Village. You should have said so earlier, saving me so much effort!
Since Konohagakure's dog giving birth has nothing to do with Kumogakure Village, then what does Konohagakure capturing spies have to do with Kumogakure Village?
Next time, when Kumogakure Village's merchants go to Konohagakure, please wipe off the word 'spy' from their faces."
Sending spies to other villages to gather intelligence or carry out covert missions is standard practice for all villages.
Everyone tacitly agrees to this and doesn't bring it to the surface.
If a spy gets caught, it's because their skills weren't good enough, not anyone else's fault.
Once such matters are brought to the surface, it becomes a big issue.
The leaders of the five great ninja villages sat together, and Raikage immediately targeted Konohagakure, which puzzled the others.
Konohagakure and Kumogakure Village didn't have any deep-seated grudges, so why target them right from the start?
It turned out to be because of the spy incident.
For a moment, everyone looked at A with strange expressions.
Come on then!!
You like to make a fuss?
I'll join you!
I didn't want to bring it up, but since Kumogakure Village likes to make a fuss, let's put everything on the table.
"Speaking of which, it's Kumogakure Village that doesn't respect others!
Sending spies to Konohagakure to gather intelligence, and when the spies get caught, you make a fuss in such a setting.
"I've experienced the hospitality of Kumogakure Village firsthand," said Uchiha Yan.
"Everyone, be careful not to catch a Kumogakure Village spy, or you'll be in trouble too."
Not only did Yan mock A, but he also continued to fan the flames.
What happened to Konohagakure could happen to you too. Be careful, Kumogakure Village is not to be trifled with.
Goodness!!
A's eyes widened.
Although everyone knew Yan was stirring the pot, he had a point!
If a spy is caught, is it appropriate for Raikage to target others in such a setting?
The representatives from Iwagakure Village and Kirigakure Village immediately became vigilant.
