The Third Raikage had disappeared!
The news hit the already turbulent Shinobi World like a depth charge, exploding into a raging wave in everyone's hearts.
"What exactly happened?"
At Kumogakure's frontline command headquarters, Commander-in-Chief A glared fiercely at several intelligence-gathering ninja before him like a maddened lion.
"We found traces of Lord Raikage's battle and tracked them all the way, but... but..."

Did they even need to ask who was more suspicious?
"But Konoha refuses to admit it. They said they parted ways peacefully with Lord Raikage. Pah, no, I mean they separated peacefully."
A third Kumogakure Ninja spoke up.
"Bullshit!"

Did he not know his own Pops's personality?
Parted ways peacefully?
Either beat the enemy to death or be beaten to death by the enemy—there had never been a third option in the Raikage's dictionary!
What bullshit peaceful separation? Anyone could tell that was a lie!
The culprit had to be Konoha!!!
However, after reaching that conclusion, A
