Shihōin Naraku cared about nothing else. Right now, he only wanted to know what exactly had happened in the Land of Water.
In particular, he knew very well that Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, had long been controlled by Obito Uchiha's genjutsu. Perhaps that was the reason for the unrest.
According to the plot he remembered, it was around this time that Kirigakure discovered the truth about Karatachi Yagura being controlled by genjutsu.
But none of that was certain yet!
Naraku's question was also Namiashi Raidō's question.
He had already reported all the intelligence he had gathered last time to Konoha. In such a short time, the Defense Force really had not obtained any more information.
Besides, their main task was to guard the Land of Fire Border. Gathering intelligence was not their responsibility; they had only happened to get involved in this incident.
"Lord Naraku, we currently have no further intelligence. But ever since we noticed the unrest in the Land of Water, I've had a feeling, though I don't know whether it's right."
"What feeling?"
"The Kirigakure ninja seem to be deliberately restraining their behavior. They have no intention of provoking us at all."
"While concealing their movements, the Mist Ninja are also doing everything they can to limit the scale of their battles. That means they really have run into trouble, and before they resolve it, they don't want to drag us in and make the situation even more complicated."
Although Namiashi Raidō was unlucky, the fact that he had twice become a Hokage's guard despite a blemish on his record was enough to show that his abilities were indeed excellent across the board.
Even with the current lack of intelligence, Namiashi Raidō could still analyze the scant information available and extract quite a few useful insights.
