Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 115 was a trap from the very beginning.

Sentry post number eight was located slightly behind sentry post number seven. At that moment, several figures quickly swept through the woods, passing through the barrier of sentry post number seven the instant it was activated.

"Big brother, we've already passed through Konoha's sensory barrier."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, then instructed, "Our objective is to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and use her to blackmail Konoha into exchanging their Byakugan and Sharingan. Remember, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the Fourth Hokage's wife; do not kill her."

Yugito, standing to the side, said, "Both Bi and I are perfect Jinchūriki, so two against one is no problem."

Killer Bee shook his head slightly: "No, the Eight-Tails told me that the Nine-Tails' power should not be underestimated. Although the Eight-Tails has never admitted that the power of a tailed beast is measured by the number of its tails, the Nine-Tails is indeed powerful."

The Fourth Raikage's gaze was solemn: "Although you are all perfect Jinchūriki, remember not to be careless."

As soon as they finished speaking, the group quickly swept through the woods.

As for Atsui, whom we promised to bring along, how could someone with that kind of fighting power be brought to this battlefield? We can just let him in during today's feint attack by Kumogakure on the other three Konoha sentries.

……

Kushina, who had been on high alert for the past eight months, stood up and smiled.

Then he said to the communication frog beside him, "Please inform Minato that Kumogakure's plan against me has begun, and it's time to close the net."

"clear!"

The communication frog made an OK sign and instantly turned into smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Under the reverse summoning technique, in less than ten breaths, Minato appeared instantly with Uchiha Un, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and Jiraiya.

"Kushina, have the people from Kumogakure finally arrived?"

Kushina smiled and said, "With my sensory abilities, I sensed that malicious chakra shortly after we passed Sentry Seven."

Minato nodded: "We originally thought they would lose their temper in a month at most, but because Konoha withdrew a large number of ninjas, Kumogakure made the same decision."

"This also caused the other three major ninja villages to curb their restless ambitions, dragging the war on for so long. But now it seems they couldn't hold back after all."

Jiraiya, standing to the side, looked towards the distant forest: "Minato, two perfect Jinchuriki plus the Fourth Raikage, should we leave them all here?"

As he spoke, Jiraiya glanced at the three Uchiha in front of him. With the power of these three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, it would not be a problem to sweep aside the three approaching Kumogakure members.

But what happens after that?

With Konoha's current strength, it is indeed possible to attack Kumogakure. After the Raikage, who died in the trap, and the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails are gone, Kumogakure's strength is no longer a threat.

However... once Konoha's power exceeds expectations, the destruction of Kumogakure will mark the beginning of Konoha being besieged.

Minato, on the other side, understood the meaning behind Jiraiya's words perfectly. After a moment's thought, he said, "The Fourth Raikage is very fast. He's probably even faster these past few years. We might not be able to capture them all."

"However, in order to inflict a painful defeat on Kumogakure, we'll only release one of the three who entered the trap."

After pondering for a moment, Shisui said, "Perhaps we can hand over the Raikage to Kumo and me. With my genjutsu and Kumo's abilities, we can have a certain restraining effect on the Raikage."

"If the Fourth Raikage dies, and someone brings back information about Konoha's strength, Kumogakure will have no choice but to admit defeat if it doesn't want to destroy the village."

Jiraiya nodded, then looked at Minato and said, "Before I came here with you, I already gave instructions to Shikaku and the others to keep an eye on the sentries who were feigning an attack. Now, it's up to us."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina looked towards the distance in the woods and said, "They're here! Soon!"

Minato nodded: "Disperse!"

In an instant, the five people scattered and hid in the surrounding area.

Three figures arrived in an instant, and in Killer Bee's mind, the Eight-Tails' voice rang out: "Bei, something feels wrong."

Killer Bee looked at the sentry in the distance. At this moment, Sentry Eight's perception barrier had been activated, and a swift victory was necessary.

"Did you sense anything?"

The Eight-Tails replied, "I can sense the same cold chakra as that brat Uchiha here."

Killer Bee looked at the Fourth Raikage: "Big brother, that Uchiha Kumo might be here too."

The Fourth Raikage scoffed, "That Uchiha brat? If he's here, take care of him. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can only be captured alive."

"yes!!"

Killer Bee and Yugito agreed, and the outline of Sentry No. 8 appeared in their sights.

"Compare!"

Upon hearing the sound, Killer Bee abruptly transformed into Tailed Beast Cloak Mode, and the Tailed Beast Balls suddenly gathered, heading towards a series of traps outside Sentry No. 8.

"boom!!!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and all the traps surrounding the sentry were violently destroyed. At that moment, Kushina, who was alone to begin with, stepped out.

"It seems that Kumogakure has no intention of stopping this war!"

The Raikage stepped forward and said, "From beginning to end, Kumogakure has only one demand: to hand over Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Kumo, who killed Kumogakure ninjas. As long as these two are handed over, the war can stop."

Kushina frowned and shook her head: "You should know the whole story. There's no point in saying more, but Kumogakure's provocative behavior is just courting death."

Seeing that Kushina showed no sign of worry, Raikage frowned: "Where's that brat Uchiha Kumo? I sensed him earlier. Is this your trump card?"

"hehe……"

The sudden laughter startled Raikage.

As Yun, who had instantly descended from the forest, smiled and said, "It is my honor to be remembered by the Fourth Raikage. However, starting today, Kumogakure may begin preparations for the selection of the Fifth Raikage."

Amidst the mocking voices, the Fourth Raikage was furious, but as the one in a superior position, he also sensed that something was amiss.

Are there still Konoha ninjas hidden in the shadows of the surrounding woods?

At that moment, an octopus tail quietly emerged from the ground and attached itself to the Raikage.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing caution in each other's eyes.

Meanwhile, in Killer Bee's mind, the Eight-Tails was roaring furiously, "Beetle!! Run!"

"The eyes of this Uchiha brat in front of me possess power far beyond what they used to be! And I sense that we're already surrounded by enemies!"

"Run! Run!"

Killer Bee adjusted his sunglasses, thinking to himself, "In this situation, even if I use my tentacles to escape, I'll only be the one who gets back. Ushioni, you should understand my choice."

The voice of the bull demon disappeared from his mind, and Killer Bee also became alert, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
