Hiss.
The Raikage and Dodai both frowned and drew a sharp breath at Killer B's certain answer.
This?
He had not even guessed—Killer B was this certain?
"Killer B, how can you be so sure that a coup happened in Konoha?" Dodai frowned in thought, but still laid out his reasoning. "If a coup really happened in Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen escaped to our Land of Lightning, then our ANBU in Konoha and Darui's group would certainly have sent someone with news. The message should have reached us by now!"
"But we have not received any news about a coup in Konoha!"

Uchiha Xuan Yu was too powerful.
