"The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura, is dead, and the Three-Tails was taken by a mysterious organization called Akatsuki!"
Haruka's words struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering Uchiha Feng's calm. He nodded slightly, yet felt no surprise within.
Tsunade's reaction, however, was entirely different. As the Hokage, she paid closer attention to such developments. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep contemplation.
"What exactly happened? Do we have any detailed intelligence on Akatsuki?" she pressed urgently.
Haruka hesitated slightly before saying, "I have some intelligence regarding Akatsuki, but not much. A few years ago, this organization was merely an insignificant little group. For some reason, though, it has been frequently active throughout the shinobi world over the past two years. Not only did they attack Sunagakure, they also launched an assault on Kirigakure. Their movements are secretive and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against."
Uchiha Feng's gaze was firm, his tone carrying a hint of amusement. "None of that matters! Haruka, spread false information. Say that I am seriously injured and will need three years to recover. I believe Kumogakure will definitely take the bait."
He knew very well that Tsunade and he had personally set foot in Kumogakure back then. Those bloody memories remained vivid in his mind.
The two of them had not only slaughtered their way through the village, but had personally killed many Kumogakure shinobi. They had even directly killed Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails' jinchuriki, and taken Kumogakure's tailed beast. Such hatred would never be easily forgotten.
"If news of my grave injuries reaches Kumogakure, the Raikage will never let this opportunity slip away." Uchiha Feng's eyes gleamed with calculation as he began planning the situation ahead.
"Also, spread another false rumor. Claim that Akatsuki is about to attack Iwagakure,"
