"Have all of Kumogakure's higher-ups gathered in there?"
Outside the Raikage Building, Naraku muttered under his breath. Two figures lay sprawled on the ground before him—the two Kumogakure Anbu from earlier.
Naraku's eyes were scarlet, three black tomoe slowly revolving within his blood-red pupils. It was the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Yet he had never expected to see Uzumaki Naraku here as well. A growing sense of foreboding rose in the Fourth Raikage's heart.
He quickly arrived beside the Kumogakure
