"It looks like we'll have to suspend our offensive against Uchiha Minato for now..."
A thought of how their recent operations had all ended in failure, with Amegakure losing quite a few elite ninja as a result, and slumped limply into his seat.
Undercurrents stirred throughout the Shinobi World, and Amegakure harbored particularly ruthless ambitions.
Uchiha Minato's series of actions made it clear that his goal was certainly not as simple as merely joining the Five Great Nations of the Shinobi World.
What he wanted more was to monopolize the Shinobi World and reign supreme alone!
Kirigakure had already been the first to face the knife. Although Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure had only been weakened to a certain extent...
A had no doubt that if they truly provoked Amegakure one day...
Ning Feng would crush them without mercy!
"The land where Kirigakure stood is still in ruins, but we haven't found the graves of the previous Kage."
Nagato delivered his report with a somewhat troubled expression.
Ever since Ning Feng destroyed Kirigakure, many of the clans originally based there had fallen apart.
That had also left a vast stretch of Kirigakure's land vacant.
Even now, no one dared occupy Kirigakure's former grounds to develop them.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Ning Feng had promptly sent Nagato to continue excavating the graves of powerful ninja in Kirigakure.
But...
Contrary to Nagato's expectations, Kirigakure, which should have had the most clans with bloodline abilities and the most high-level ninja...
Had yielded very few graves.
He could count on his fingers the ones he had unearthed in half a month.
And that was without anyone else interfering. He had excavated throughout Kirigakure's territory, yet still found very little.
"That fellow Black Zetsu must have noticed..."
Ning Feng shook his head and chuckled.
