The Fourth Raikage Ai, who was full of murderous intent, did not immediately retract his fist, but looked at the person blocking him in confusion.
After all, he was a close confidant left behind by his father's third generation Raikage and a two-generation veteran of Kumogakure, so he still had to give Dodai some face.
"...Lord Raikage, in order to preserve the possibility of the village being able to exchange for the second-tailed Yukito, this Konoha spy must not be killed now..."
Being shrouded in the substantial murderous aura of the Fourth Raikage, although Todai was confident that Ai would definitely stop and not accidentally hurt him, he still couldn't help but a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead at this moment.
After saying this, sure enough, hesitation and concern began to flash in the eyes of the Fourth Raikage Ai.
Seeing this, Dodai continued to admonish: "Didn't you promise to consider the prisoner exchange proposal put forward by the Konoha envoy who arrived not long ago before giving an answer?"
"...This is just a delaying tactic. I will definitely take back the second tail of Yunyin Village myself!!"
The Fourth Raikage Ai looked steadfast in his vow, and while his competitive spirit was aroused, what flashed through his mind was the figure of the blond man from Konoha.
The first half of Ai's words made Tutai feel pleasantly surprised, but the second half of his words instantly turned him back to disappointment.
He originally thought that this young Raikage-sama, after two years of experience in taking office, had learned how to use delaying tactics. This was undoubtedly a sign of a little understanding of politics, but he did not expect that there was still an immature mentality such as personal conflicts of temper.
How could it be so easy to snatch back the Jinchuuriki? Besides, if you wanted to snatch it back, would Konoha give you such a chance?
Dodai sighed in his heart and had to change his tone and said: "Lord Raikage, please think carefully again, using the life of a mere Konoha spy in exchange for the strategic weapons of the two tailed beasts and the jinchūriki returned to our Hidden Cloud Village.
Isn’t that a very good exchange?”
"...I'm sorry, Lord Todai, as intelligence officers, we have to make a slight correction regarding your remarks just now."
At this time, in the equipment interrogation room, the captain of the three cloud ninjas who controlled the machine couldn't help but interjected: "This Konoha spy is definitely the most stubborn, difficult and highest-ranking spy we have ever interrogated.
A clear enemy spy."
"We don't know how much of the village's confidential information she has stolen from her, so her value is absolutely inestimable. She is not just an ordinary enemy prisoner like a mere Konoha spy as you just said...
"
"Kill the spies and eliminate all evil, once and for all, brother, understand?" Kirabi's rap suddenly appeared again, but he seemed to be just explaining the intelligence officer's point of view.
Showing off his rap in the form of narration has always been his favorite thing.
However, most people who are familiar with him will automatically filter out the non-rhyming rap rhythms and only listen to the important parts.
However, it was better that the intelligence officer did not speak. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted Tudai's retort: "You mean, in future wars, we can use this Konoha spy to replace the one the village has trained since childhood.
, the two-tailed Yukito, who has the potential to become a perfect Jinchuuriki, should fight the enemy on behalf of Kumogakure?"
"This..." The intelligence officer's face immediately turned ugly, and then he did not dare to speak anymore.
Tutai's rhetorical question made his point of view very clear.
Although intelligence is an extremely important tool, it is ultimately only a kind of soft power.
For Kumogakure, carefully cultivating Yuki and the two-tailed beasts with great potential since childhood is the hard power that every village needs.
Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage Ai seemed to gradually calm down, and slowly lowered his fist that was still in the air, but it was obvious that he still had concerns.
After restraining his murderous intent, he glanced across the earth platform and looked at Nonoyu on the machine platform again.
The difference is that this time there is only curiosity and doubt in his expression.
"... Dodai, although what you said makes sense, don't you think that the prisoner exchange proposal proposed by Konoha is a good deal for us Kumogakure, but what about Konoha?"
The Fourth Raikage has a somewhat impatient personality, but of course he is not stupid.
His final doubt was that there could be no inequality in the prisoner exchange, which meant that he did not think that this female spy was worth the value of the two-tailed beast to Konoha.
At this time, Todai finally felt that he had persuaded the Fourth Raikage.
After he couldn't help but feel relieved, he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he suddenly took out something from his bag, showed it to everyone, and then said: "Of course I have had the same doubts as Raikage-sama."
"But until the village guard just sent this item that was found near the area where the Konoha spy was captured..."
Out of curiosity, everyone gathered around.
Then I discovered that what Dodai took out seemed to be just a strange-looking kunai...
"This should be... some kind of ninja tool, right?"
"What does this mean?"
"..."
While the people who didn't know what was going on were still discussing, the Fourth Raikage's mind was shocked the moment his eyes came into contact with the kunai. After a few seconds of silence, he finally understood the intention of Dodai.
A complicated look on his face revealed: "This ninja tool belongs to that man..."
"It seems that the identity of this Konoha female spy is indeed not simple."
Kirabi on the side also came over at this time.
With a rare cautious look, after picking up the three-pronged kunai, he looked at it and rapped: "Golden flash, exclusive ninja tool, Xiaohachi's tail, easy to cut off..."
However, just as he finished speaking, in the spiritual space, the eight-tailed bull ghost used its tentacles to hit his head hard.
After the beating, he said angrily: "It seems you still remember last time. I should have said that although my tail can regenerate, tailed beasts can also feel pain. Please remember it carefully and don't abuse my tail easily in the future."
antenna!!"
"..."
In reality, the Namikaze Minato Kunai in Kirabi's hand was circulated around and finally found its way into the hands of the Fourth Raikage Ai.
There has never been an enemy that the Fourth Raikage could be so concerned about. He had already started researching Namikaze Minato's abilities. At this time, the kunai had just come into his hands, and he had carefully discovered the difference with the previous ones.
There is nothing different about ordinary kun: "It's actually different from the previous techniques?!"
"Where was this ninja tool found?"
Tutai answered truthfully: "It is said that it is on the seabed next to Turtle Island..."
"According to various signs, it should be caused by the Konoha female spy deliberately destroying the object before being captured..."
In any case, the appearance of the Flying Thunder God Kunai engraved with the Ninja Sword has completely confirmed the importance Namikaze Minato attaches to Nonou. This also made everyone in Kumogakure finally somewhat convinced that he was tied to the interrogation machine.
The fact that the female spy above should be very important to Konoha Hokage.
Perhaps, Konoha might actually trade Yukito for her...
