Chapter 87 (1/2)

Chiyo frowned and said: ”...these forces were sent straight from the village? But we didn't get any information at all.”

”An elite group consisting of three hundred shinobi sneaked into the Rain Country and destroyed Pakura's group? It's impossible.”​​

Ebizo shook his head.

Although Suna does not have many scouts in Konoha and it is extremely difficult to transmit information, but the mobilization of such a group could not go unnoticed.

Even if the scouts stationed in Konoha didn't know about it or couldn't pass on the information, there are still many places on the way where their scouts are stationed.

As in their case, a group of one hundred shinobi was forced to make a huge detour to avoid being seen by Konoha, not to mention a group of three hundred shinobi.

”Maybe it was a collaboration between Konoha and Ame?”

The fourth Kazekage Rasa said calmly.

Traces of the battle were found on the border of the Rain Country, if Konoha and Ame had cooperated, it would have been quite possible.

”No.”

Ebizo shook his head: ”In order to destroy Pakura's group, Ama will have to use all her strength, such a move could not go unnoticed. In addition, Hanzo is very careful and reserved, he will never go to send all his forces at once.”

Options for sending massive forces from Konoha and Ame cooperation were rejected, due to too low a probability.

”An ambush?”

Chiyo said slowly.

Pakura's group fell into a well-prepared ambush and was destroyed by a small number of enemy forces, even the path to retreat was completely cut off, there is only such a scenario.

Ebizo had come to this conclusion long ago, but he didn't want to say it, because being destroyed by a large force and being ambushed were two completely different things.

For getting into an ambush, the greatest responsibility should be borne by the commander of the Pakura group, but it was he who appointed her to this position!

”It seems that only this possibility remains.”

Rasa said calmly and looked at Ebizo: ”So many elites were lost, it was you who were responsible for this operation, Senior Ebizo...”

There was a very heavy atmosphere in the tent.

When Rasa was ready to put all the responsibility on Ebizo, depriving him of authority and even weakening Chiyo, suddenly a shinobi entered the tent.

”Reporting to Lord Kazekage, new information has been found in Rain Country.”

”Yes?”

Rasa frowned.

Shinobi got down on one knee and quickly reported: ”We were able to more clearly determine the route of Pakura's group and found several traces of the battle...”

He clearly stated the information gathered.

There were two main facts. First, the battle did not take place on the route that Pakura's group was supposed to take, they abruptly changed it near a small village. After a thorough study of this village, it was found out that a group of shinobi lived here earlier, and on the day of the destruction of the Pakura group, a strange shinobi appeared in it.

Secondly, based on in-depth study of the battle found out that the cause of almost all deaths were Litonjua, in addition, was a shinobi who before dying managed to convey bits of information to their recruiting beast.

One...The Blade Of Kusanagi...Ryton...speed...

In this village came a lone Shinobi and snatched the Blade of Kusanagi from the hands of the Shinobi hiding there, and then faced a group of Pakura!

As for how exactly events unfolded after their meeting, it is difficult to say.

But one thing is certain, after encountering this mysterious shinobi....
