Chapter 153 Identity (Part 2)
"What are you going to do?! Dodai?"
The fourth Raikage Ai, who was full of murderous aura, did not retract his fist immediately, but looked at the person in front of him in confusion.
After all, he was the confidant left by his father, the third Raikage, and the two generations of old ministers of Kumogakure, so he still had to give Dodai face.
"... Lord Raikage, in order to preserve the possibility of the village to exchange for the two-tailed Yukito, this Konoha spy must not be killed now..."
Shrouded by the murderous aura of the fourth Raikage, although Dodai was confident that Ai would stop and would not hurt him by mistake, he still couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
After saying this, the fourth Raikage Ai's eyes began to flicker with hesitation and concern.
Seeing this, Tsuchidai continued to advise, "Didn't you promise to consider the prisoner exchange proposal made by the Konoha envoy who arrived not long ago before, and then give an answer?"
"...This is just a delaying tactic. I will definitely take back the two-tailed beast of the Hidden Cloud Village myself!!"
The fourth generation Raikage Ai looked very confident, and while his competitive spirit was aroused, the figure of the blond man from Konoha flashed through his mind.
Ai's first half of the sentence made Tsuchidai feel pleasantly surprised, but the latter part instantly turned into disappointment.
He thought that this young Raikage, after two years of experience in office, had already known how to use delaying tactics, which was undoubtedly a manifestation of a little understanding of politics, but he didn't expect that there was still an immature mentality of personal disputes.
Take back the Jinchūriki? How can it be so easy? Besides, if you want to take it, will Konoha give you such an opportunity?
Dodai sighed in his heart and had to change his tone and said: "Lord Raikage, please think about it again. Using the life of a mere Konoha spy to exchange for our strategic weapon, the tailed beast Two-tail and Jinchūriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, isn't this a very cost-effective exchange?"
"... Sorry, Lord Dodai, as intelligence personnel, we have to correct your remarks just now."
At this time, in the machine interrogation room, the captain of the three cloud ninjas operating the machine couldn't help but interrupt: "This Konoha spy is definitely the most stubborn, difficult and smart enemy spy we have interrogated so far."
"We don't know how much confidential information she has stolen from the village, so her value is definitely inestimable. She is not just an ordinary enemy prisoner of the level of a mere Konoha spy as you just said..."
"Kill the spy, eliminate all evil, once and for all, big brother understand?" Killer Bee's rap suddenly appeared again, but he seemed to be just explaining the views of the intelligence personnel.
Showing off his rap in the form of narration has always been his favorite thing to do.
However, most people who are familiar with him will automatically filter out the unrhymed rap rhythm and only listen to the important parts.
However, it would have been better if the intelligence officer did not speak. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted Dodai's retort: "You mean, in the future war, we can use this Konoha spy to replace the two-tailed Yukito who has been cultivated by the village since childhood and has the potential to become a perfect Jinchūriki, to fight the enemy on behalf of the Hidden Cloud Village, right?"
"This..." The intelligence officer's face immediately became ugly, and then he dared not speak again.
Dodai's questioning was very thorough.
Although intelligence is an extremely important tool, it is ultimately only a soft power.
For the Hidden Cloud Village, carefully cultivating the highly potential Yukito and the tailed beast Two-tail from childhood is the hard power that every village needs.
Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage Ai seemed to gradually calm down, and the fist that was suspended in the air was slowly put down, but it was obvious that he still had some concerns.
After retracting his killing intent, he glanced at Dodai and once again looked at Nonoyu on the machine table.
The difference was that this time, his expression was only full of curiosity and doubt.
"... Dodai, although what you said makes sense, don't you think that since the prisoner exchange proposed by Konoha is a good deal for us, Kumogakure, then what about Konoha?"
The Fourth Raikage was a little impatient, but of course he was not stupid.
His last doubt was that there could not be an unequal situation in prisoner exchange, that is, he did not think that for Konoha, this female spy could be worth the value of the two-tailed beast.
Dodai finally felt that he had persuaded the Fourth Raikage.
After he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, he did not answer immediately, but suddenly took out something from his bag, showed it to everyone, and then said: "Of course, I also had doubts about Raikage-sama."
"But until the village guards just sent this thing that was searched near the area where Konoha's spy was captured..."
With curiosity, everyone gathered around.
Then I found out that what Dodai took out seemed to be just a kunai with a strange shape...
"This should be... some kind of ninja tool, right?"
"What does this mean?"
"..."
While those who didn't know the truth were still discussing, the Fourth Raikage was shocked the moment his eyes first touched the kunai. After a few seconds of silence, he finally understood Dodai's intention.
He revealed with a complicated expression: "This ninja tool belongs to that man..."
"It seems that the identity of this Konoha female spy is indeed not simple."
Kirabi, who was standing next to him, also came over at this time.
With a rare cautious look, after picking up the three-pronged kunai, he looked at it and rapped: "Golden flash, exclusive ninja tool, small eight tails, easily cut off..."
However, just as he finished speaking, the Eight-Tailed Gyu-ki used its tentacles to hit him on the head in the spiritual space.
After the fight, he said angrily: "It seems that you still remember the last time. I should have said that although my tail can regenerate, the tailed beasts also have pain. Remember this and don't abuse my tentacles easily in the future!!"
"..."
In reality, the Namikaze Minato kunai in Killer Bee's hand was passed around and finally fell into the hands of the Fourth Raikage Ai.
No enemy has ever made the Fourth Raikage so concerned. He had already begun to study Minato Namikaze's abilities. When the kunai just came into his hands, he carefully discovered the difference from the ordinary kunai in the past: "It's different from the previous techniques?!"
"Where was this ninja tool found?"
Tsuchidai answered truthfully: "It is said to be on the seabed next to Kame Island..."
"According to various signs, it should be caused by this Konoha female spy who intentionally destroyed the object before being captured..."
In any case, the appearance of the Flying Thunder God Kunai engraved with the Ninja Sword completely confirmed Minato Namikaze's importance to Nono, which also made everyone in Kumogakure finally believe that the female spy tied to the interrogation machine should be very important to the Konoha Hokage.
Perhaps, Konoha might really use the wooden man to exchange her...
