"Damn it!"
News of what had happened on Skull Island quickly reached the Kirigakure camp.
The Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, nearly entered Tailed Beast Transformation when he saw the report, furious enough to level the entire tent.
"Calm down, Utakata. What happened?"
"The Cloud ninja have occupied the logistics supply point on Skull Island."
Utakata handed the Scroll of Information to the staff officers in the tent. The moment they glanced at it, they burst into a chorus of startled exclamations.
"One Cloud ninja broke into Skull Island alone?"
"He defeated a hundred defenders and even captured Lin Yuyuri?"
"That can't be possible. The Fourth Raikage has left the eastern front. Apart from the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, no one else could have that kind of strength."
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki has been confronting us this whole time. How could she have circled around to the rear and launched a surprise attack on Skull Island?"
"Star of the Clouds, Hyuga Neji?"
The staff officers were astonished.
Lin Yuyuri might not wield a Ninja Blade and might not be well-known, but her powerful Lightning Release made her a formidable opponent, with few below Kage Level able to match her.
And yet such a gifted ninja had been captured amid an army of thousands.
"Utakata, Kisame has already ordered the nearby Kirigakure ninja to head to Skull Island and form a perimeter. But with Star of the Clouds' strength, they'll probably find he's already gone."
"No."
Utakata slowly rose to his feet, his face darkening. "Star of the Clouds attacked the logistics supply point and captured Lin Yuyuri to draw our forces away and ease the pressure on the Cloud army. I'm certain he won't leave Skull Island."
"But ordinary Kirigakure ninja can't deal with him."
Hearing that, Utakata let out a sigh.
