The sound of rain is pattering.
A sharp, piercing, high-pitched, dry howl resounding through the sky suddenly came from outside the quiet Sunagakure's main camp!
The dry howl is full of fear, regret, and pain!
"What happened?"
"Did Iwagakure invade us?"
"Let's take a look!"
The Sunagakure's Shinobi in the camp ran out one after another and rushed towards the place where the screams came from.
Soon, they found a corpse, a charred corpse that had been severed in two by the sword!
Fortunately, although his face is also charred, they can still distinguish his facial features.
"Mukade! He is Mukade!"
"It's Fire Release Ninjutsu… Did Konoha's Shinobi do it?"
"Damn, how dare they!"
"No, look at the fracture of his body, this is from a sword!"
"It must be Konoha-Style Kenjutsu!"
"Idiot, this is Cloud-Style Kenjutsu, Flame Slash!"
"Cloud-Style Kenjutsu... Kumogakure's Shinobi?!"
"How is it possible that the murderer is Kumogakure's Shinobi?"
The crowd of Sunagakure's Shinobi look at each other in shock.
Right now, Kumogakure has invaded the Land of Fire and is currently fighting with Konoha's Shinobi. But at this time, they actually sent people to assassinate their Shinobi…
"Wait! Is Kumogakure trying to deliberately frame Konoha's Shinobi and destroy the alliance between our two villages?"
"Yeah, once we form an alliance with Konoha, Konoha's situation will get better, so Kumogakure try to intervene!"
"If this is the case, how could Kumogakure's Shinobi use Cloud-Style Kenjutsu to kill our Shinobi? Isn't this just exposing themselves?"
"I think Konoha's Shinobi did it in order to frame Kumogakure's Shinobi!"
"It's better to inform Kazekage-sama about this!"
Soon, the group of Sunagakure's Shinobi carried these two pieces of charred corpse to the leader's residence.
The leader's residence was repaired by Rasa himself with Magnet Release. The building is dark golden, low-key and luxurious, bold and deep, and the aura soars into the sky!
At this time, Rasa and Minato were talking happily in the building. Suddenly, they heard the noise outside, so Rasa opened the door with displeased expression: "What's the matter?"
"Kazekage-sama, Mukade from Puppet Brigade was assassinated outside the camp!" One of the Sunagakure's Shinobi started to talk.
"What did you say?"
Rasa's expression changed. Although he had vaguely heard a scream just now, he was busy doing business, so how could he have time to pay attention to it?
But now…
Rasa quickly ordered Mukade's corpse to be put down, and then went forward to inspect it in person.
Minato also walked out of the building. His golden hair became wet quickly in the rain, but he ignored it and quietly looked at the corpse in contemplation.
At the same time, Kakashi and Kanpū were also called over.
Kakashi had just finished walking around the Sunagakure's main camp and was going back, but he was stopped by Sunagakure's Shinobi. As for Kanpū… he immediately used Transparent Release after he had killed Mukade, and with the help of commotion caused by the Sunagakure's Shinobi rushing out of the main camp, he rushed back to their small lounge, so he was already in the small lounge when he was invited by Sunagakure's Shinobi.
"Hey, why did you ask us to come here?"
Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and looked at the corpse on the ground with drooping eyelids, "It shouldn't be for us to come to do an autopsy, right?"
"Hey kid, pay attention to what you say!" A Sunagakure's Shinobi said angrily, "You absolutely can't get rid of your relation with Mukade's death!"
"What a nonsense."
Kakashi didn't back down at all, and said contemptuously, "With just a glance, it can be seen that this guy died of Cloud-Style Kenjutsu Flame Slash. It has nothing to do with our Konoha."
"And we have always been in the camp, and have never gone out."
Kanpū also opened his mouth, and started lying without blinking his eyes, "Even if you want to wrong people, you should at least be serious, right?"
"You brats!!!" The Sunagakure's Shinobi were angry and anxious, but they couldn't refute their words.
"Kazekage-sama, did Mukade really die from Flame Slash? Or could it be that he was cut by someone before being burned with Fire Release?" One of the Sunagakure's higher-ups asked solemnly.
"The wound is flat and charred, without any trace of blood, so it is impossible to cut him first and then burn him with Fire Release!"
Rasa stood up and said with an expressionless face, "This is indeed a wound caused by Cloud-Style Kenjutsu Flame Slash, it can't be wrong."
"Even if Mukade died of Cloud-Style Kenjutsu, it is not necessarily Kumogakure's Shinobi who used Cloud-Style Kenjutsu!" One of the Sunagakure's Shinobi yelled, and his eyes full of suspicion blatantly went back and forth between Kanpū and Kakashi.
"Are you doubting us?" Kakashi looked at him coldly.
"Kazekage-sama, we…" The Sunagakure's Shinobi said loudly again, but he was violently interrupted by Rasa just as he started.
"Shut up! This is undoubtedly done by Kumogakure's spy. They want to destroy our alliance with Konoha. Can't you see such a simple act of sowing discord? What a bunch of idiots!!!"
Rasa's eyes were filled with anger, and he looked at the surrounding people with a majestic expression. Under his tough attitude and gaze, all the Sunagakure's Shinobi bowed their heads and did not dare to speak any more.
"Immediately search every corners inside and outside the camp, and be sure to find that Kumogakure's spy!" Rasa frowned and said grimly.
"Yes!"
The group of Sunagakure's Shinobi responded loudly and quickly dispersed.
"I'm sorry for making you see such a joke, Minato-dono." Rasa turned around, and forced a smile. "We're really rude."
"No, it's those cunning Kumogakure's Shinobi. They are afraid of our alliance, so they used these indiscriminate methods. Kazekage-dono is really amazing to be able to see through Kumogakure's strategy in an instant." Minato said.
Rasa's face became better and he said: "Minato-dono, we will continue to discuss the details of the alliance tomorrow."
Minato nodded: "Okay."
Rasa waved and called a man with yellowish hair and a white bandage on his head, and then said, "Yashamaru, Minato-dono and the others to rest."
"Yes!"
Yashamaru responded. He is Rasa's brother-in-law, a Medical-nin, and also a Sunagakure's Anbu. He is very trusted by Rasa.
"Sorry for the trouble, Yashamaru-dono." Minato nodded to Yashamaru.
"Minato-sama, please come here."
Yashamaru said with a slight smile.
After Minato, Kakashi, and Kanpū left with Yashamaru, Rasa turned around and entered the building. After a while, several Sunagakure's higher-ups also walked in.
Rasa looked at these Sunagakure's higher-ups expressionlessly and said: "Send Mukade's body back to the village for burial!"
"Shouldn't we hand it over to Anbu for further autopsy?" One of the Sunagakure's higher-ups asked.
"No, no need, just bury him directly."
Rasa said, "Regardless of whose hands killed Mukade, Konoha's Shinobi must not be involved in this matter! Do you understand?"
The Sunagakure's higher-ups nodded solemnly.
For the defeated Sunagakure, there are only two paths they can take now. One is to form an alliance with Iwagakure, and declare war on Konoha once again, but even if they finally win, with Iwagakure's acting style, they will inevitably declare war on Sunagakure. When the time comes, the price Sunagakure need to pay will be even greater!
The second path is to form an alliance with Konoha. With this, they can use the alliance to reduce the compensation of the defeated country, and when Iwagakure is defeated, they can also transfer the compensation they need to pay to Konoha to Iwagakure.
The most important thing is that they don't have to be afraid of Konoha declaring war again after Iwagakure is defeated, because Konoha has already received war compensation from them, and Konoha still has two other Great Shinobi Villages, which are Kirigakure and Kumogakure!
So at this critical juncture of the alliance, unless the person who died is Sunagakure's higher-up, even if an insignificant Shinobi like Mukade was really killed by Konoha's Shinobi, they must put the blame on Kumogakure!
What's more, Mukade's death was indeed caused by Cloud-Style Kenjutsu Flame Slash!
This is irrefutable evidence that no one can overturn!
