87 Chapter 87

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.

Many of the Elite Jounin were in a terrible mood.

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...

Combining these scraps of information and the results of the investigation in that village, they came to an incredible conclusion.

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....

...Pakura's group was completely destroyed!

"It's impossible!"

Chiyo sharply rejected this conclusion.

She could accept being ambushed by Pakura's group, but complete annihilation by just one shinobi is absolutely impossible!

Even if this shinobi has terrifying power, enough to crush Pakura's group alone, complete destruction, without a single escapee, is absolutely impossible!

"This is a conclusion made solely on the basis of the information received..."

A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the reporting Shinobi.

He, too, knew that the conclusion was too improbable, but they could not find an arc of explanation according to the known information.

"It is impossible."

Rasa shook his head.

Single-handedly destroy Pakura's group? This is absolutely impossible unless the legendary Shinobi God who ended the Warring States Era, Senju Hashirama, stood on the other side.

But this man is already long dead, if he was alive, then no one in the world would dare to go against Konoha and start a war.

But the problem is...

...that even if Pakura's group wasn't destroyed by just one shinobi, he definitely played a major role in what happened, perhaps even defeating Pakura herself!

Pakura's strength is recognized by the entire village, she is an extremely powerful shinobi with an Improved Genome, otherwise she would not have been appointed commander of the surprise attack group.

Then a logical question arises...

Who is this shinobi?!

Isn't the one who may have destroyed the entire Pakura group and most likely defeated Pakura herself supposed to be a Konoha shinobi?!

Now they know about this shinobi only that he uses Raitonjutsu and wields the Kusanagi Blade, there is no more information!

"No matter what village this shinobi belongs to, he is hostile to us..."

Ebizo sighed and said grimly.

The destruction of Pakura's group was bad news in itself, now that some unknown and extremely powerful Shinobi has appeared on the other side, their position in this war is becoming increasingly precarious.

But they can't back down once that happens, Konoha will definitely continue to put pressure on Suna, they are not ready to go for signing an unequal peace agreement with Konoha after so much effort and resources have been invested in this war.

"The situation is getting dire, Elder Ebizo...what do you propose to do?"

Rasa narrowed his eyes and looked at Ebizo.

This is a very bad situation for the entire village, but just fine for him, after such a blow to Ebizo's prestige, he will no longer have to care so much about maintaining his Kazekage position.

But you need to be vigilant about this shinobi who owns the Kusanagi Blade, there is too little information about the other side, once he appears on the battlefield, he can cause a lot of problems.

Specializes in Ryton...

Is this Shinobi Kumogakure?

Combining Kumo and Konoha would make their situation extremely difficult, but the probability of such a development is too low.

"Although I do not know who this shinobi is, but he can help me..."

A light flashed in the eyes of the Race.

You need to arrange another clash, which will lead to the death of several more Shinobi opposing him, and then you can even surrender to Konoha, as long as the Race can hold on to the Kazekage, for him any outcome of this war will be a victory.

But he really wanted to know who the mysterious shinobi responsible for destroying Pakura's group was.
