"Then send someone to kill Mitokado Homura, and attack Konoha first!"

Dodai's eyes widened in disbelief. "Lord Raikage, what are you saying? Do you really want Konoha to fight Kumogakure to the death? He's been the Hokage's close friend for decades.
"Besides, with Shisui Uchiha there, how could we wipe out Konoha quickly? His genjutsu can catch you from hundreds of meters away.
"Even leaving Shisui Uchiha aside, how do we guard against Uchiha Yan? If we hadn't been lucky last time, the Fourth Mizukage would have died long ago. How could we have gotten the Byakugan?"
"This won't work, that won't work! What do you suggest?"
After a long silence, Dodai slowly spoke. "First send someone to Kirigakure to take a look, then dispatch troops to the border.

"Then use our spies in Iwagakure to get Mitokado Homura killed there. As long as something happens to Mitokado Homura in Iwagakure, cooperation between Konoha and Iwagakure will naturally stop."
"That makes sense! Let's do that! I'll go to the border and see if there's a chance to kill Shisui Uchiha first."

We were a little rash. Now our Kumogakure ninja have died for nothing, and we've given Konoha something to hold over us.
Kumogakure had never considered
