In an elegant hotel, the furniture was clean and tidy.
Pakura sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly out the window, somewhat lost in thought.
I wonder what she's thinking.
"Teacher, you've been sitting here for a long time."
A worried voice came from behind Pakura. The woman who spoke wore a white scarf unique to Sunagakure and had purple markings on her cheeks.
Pakura's disciple, Volume.
He was also the envoy who accompanied Pakura on her visit to Konoha.
"Juan, tell me... what kind of person is Uchiha Mirai?"
Looking out the window, Pakura expressed his question with a touch of melancholy.
"Huh? Uchiha Mirai???"
Juan stared in astonishment, her eyes widening.
So, her teacher has been pondering this question all along?
In her eyes, her teacher had always been a strong and courageous ninja. How come he seemed to have become a different person after coming to Konoha?
"Why is the teacher asking this question? We haven't finished the task Lord Kazekage assigned us yet!"
These women came to Konoha as envoys, each carrying the mission of the Kazekage.
To ascertain Konoha's true strength and its next plans.
If they can obtain intelligence in advance, Sunagakure will gain an advantage in the upcoming operations.
Laugh!
Pakura suddenly chuckled, a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"That short-sighted guy, probably only he would think that way."
Information about Konoha isn't so easy to gather.
Let's set aside the Uchiha Mirai.
Even aside from him, Konoha is far beyond the reach of other villages.
The Uchiha Clan alone has three Mangekyo Sharingan users.
Of course, she didn't know that Itachi had also activated his Mangekyo Sharingan at that moment.
If they knew, they would only mock Rasa's ignorance even more.
Moreover, another matter made Pakura realize even more how unfathomable the Uchiha Mirai.
She toured Konoha for a long time but couldn't find Sarutobi Hiruzen or any of his close ninja followers.
A little thought reveals its chilling nature.
As the previous Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen held immense power in Konoha, and the factions associated with him were deeply entrenched and complex.
Although they lost out in the political struggles within Konoha High Command, allowing Uchiha Mirai to become Hokage, it's impossible that they left no trace whatsoever.
There is only one truth.
Uchiha Mirai not only possessed extraordinary strength, but also had political acumen far surpassing that of ordinary ninjas.
Only in this way can the power unique to Sarutobi Hiruzen be completely eradicated from the complex Konoha High Command's leadership.
Thinking this way, Pakura's contempt for Rasa deepened.
The factions in Sunagakure are far less complex than those in Konoha. Rasa himself was a disciple of the Third Kazekage, and he had Chiyo backing him up, yet he couldn't even completely control Sunagakure.
Compared to Uchiha Mirai, she was far inferior in both strength and political acumen.
Juan sighed somewhat helplessly.
She knew that her teacher, Pakura, had always been at odds with the Fourth Kazekage, and they often argued in the village.
Rasa paid a considerable price to persuade Konoha to come to Pakura this time.
But now is not the time to think about these things, is it?
"Teacher, if we don't complete the mission, let's think about how to explain it to Kazekage when we get back, shall we?"
A meaningful smile appeared in Pakura's beautiful eyes.
She has her own plans.
If all goes well, we might be able to get rid of that good-for-nothing Rasa completely!
At almost the same time, in another hotel across the street from this hotel.
Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, was also gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
"Killer B Bee, I have already dispatched all the men. It shouldn't be long before intelligence comes back."
Behind him, a Cloud Ninja respectfully reported.
"Well done, my brother will be very happy."
Killer B somewhat stiff compliment; he wasn't good at praising people, but his older brother had said that praising subordinates more often could better motivate them.
The Cloud Ninja pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked.
"Lord Killer B Bee, do you have any plans for the future?"
"Um... anyway, let's find Yugito's location first!"
Killer B a bit of a headache.
"Ugh! Why did you assign this task to me, brother? It's such a hassle!"
He's really not good at this kind of task.
Compared to that, things like rap are much easier.
"Be careful, I'm worried that Uchiha Mirai isn't as simple as he seems on the surface."
Within the sealed space, the Eight-Tails' reminder echoed.
As Tailed Beast, it is naturally more sensitive to human perception.
The last encounter with it instilled a sense of terror in it.
It's been many years since I've felt this way.
The last time was just the last time!
"I understand, don't worry, I won't be careless."
Killer B nodded seriously.
Before we came, my older brother had repeatedly warned me that the Uchiha Mirai had caused such terrible damage to the Kumogakure that they still hadn't fully recovered.
He certainly wouldn't be careless.
Just as they were communicating in their mental space, the hotel door was suddenly opened.
"Lord Killer B Bee, we've found Yugito Yugito's location!"
