"Lord Raikage, I think it could work. Whether or not we agree to Konoha's demands, the only uncertainty is whether Konoha really has someone capable of fighting Uchiha Fengyao!"
Mabui got straight to the point, and A nodded. She had put his thoughts into words perfectly.

"Lord Raikage, since Konoha approached us seeking cooperation against the Uchiha, that means they may be more desperate than we are!"

He wanted to slap the desk again, but stopped under Mabui's gaze.
Kumogakure had already dispatched spies, but with only a few days having passed since the incident, outsiders
