Huh?
Gua paused briefly in the middle of eating.
He really hadn't expected Clan Leader Fugaku to go to the Hokage Office for this.
"Why go to the front against Kumogakure?
What would Clan Leader Fugaku gain from that?"
Gua didn't understand.
Jiraiya was in command on the Kumogakure front. Even if Fugaku went there, he couldn't possibly hold much power.
So why go?
To serve as Jiraiya's assistant?
He didn't think Clan Leader Fugaku was that kind of person.
Clan Leader Fugaku was very ambitious.

Do you think Fourth Kazekage Rasa keeps insisting on going to war with the Land of Rain simply because the One-Tail was captured?"
Uchiha Oyama shook his head.
"That's not how it is. None of them want the war to end so abruptly.
Sunagakure and Kumogakure haven't gained anything from this war yet.
So they don't want
