The three great ninja villages had willingly joined forces to hold the Chunin Exams. If Kumogakure caused trouble, the consequences would definitely outweigh the gains.
The Fourth Raikage understood this perfectly well.
Yet precisely because he understood it, he was so frustrated now.
In Soji's words, it was impotent rage!
"Though I hate to admit it, Konoha's overall strength is undoubtedly the greatest in the Ninja World now. And Kirigakure has Mizuki Ember, the Fifth Mizukage, who may be the strongest person in the Ninja World.
