Kumogakure Resumes Marching

In the mountains!

"Cooperation!"

"Akatsuki? Helpers that Ōnoki invited?"

The Raikage frowned slightly. The voice that had just come from his father's body had told him that the other party was a member of Akatsuki, invited by Ōnoki to help Kumogakure.

The Fourth Raikage did not believe a word of it.

Especially Killer B. The moment he heard the name Akatsuki, his expression changed instantly—or rather, the expression of the Eight-Tails inside him changed.

Back when Killer B had fought Kakashi, the Eight-Tails had taken the opportunity to briefly communicate with the Two-Tails inside Kakashi.

Although the Two-Tails had not responded to him at first, it eventually revealed some information, including intelligence that Akatsuki was collecting Tailed Beasts.

After learning of this, the Eight-Tails immediately relayed it to Killer B and the Raikage.

Thus, they were extremely wary of Akatsuki now.

Through the Third Raikage's vision, Orochimaru also noticed the expressions of the Fourth Raikage and Killer B. Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, he knew it would be difficult to fool them.

However, Orochimaru had never intended to make Kumogakure trust him completely. He only needed them to agree to continue with the original plan and wage war against Kirigakure at the border.

"Lord Raikage, it seems your father has something to say to you!"

At that moment, Orochimaru's voice once again came from the Third Raikage's body.

"Hmph!"

His expression then tightened slightly, and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his entire demeanor and aura were completely different from before.

The Fourth Raikage and Killer B both froze. They knew that the one standing before them now was the real Third Raikage.

More than ten minutes later, the Raikage brothers emerged from the mountains and returned to the camp.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not long after
