Yoruha remained silent, thinking to himself, "It seems the First Hokage really caused significant damage if even the proud ninja of the Hidden Cloud Village are speaking like this." Without asking any further questions, Yoruha followed the guide to the Raikage's office. When A, the Raikage, heard that soone from Konoha had arrived, he quickly said, "Let him in."
The battle a few days ago had left A feeling quite defeated. It was the first ti he had faced an opponent with such despair. His Lightning Release Chakra Mode had no effect on the opponent, yet the opponent's punch carried imnse power, several tis greater than Tsunade's. A had arm-wrestled with Tsunade before, and he was well aware that his strength was inferior to hers.
Tsunade was the strongest ninja A had ever encountered, but the First Hokage's strength surpassed hers by several magnitudes. A simple punch from him could send A flying. What was most frustrating was that his speed was of no advantage against the First Hokage. When the door to the Raikage's office opened, the scene inside surprised Yoruha.
Looking around the Raikage's office, seeing everyone bandaged up, Yoruha's lips twitched slightly. "The First Hokage really went too hard on them, didn't he leave them any dignity?" If the First Hokage could hear Yoruha's thoughts, he would definitely feel wronged. He didn't want to either; being dead, he naturally didn't wish to bring a strong enemy upon Konoha.
However, under Orochimaru's control with the sealing technique, he couldn't resist. Fortunately, Orochimaru's target was only the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails; otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village might have been wiped out. If Orochimaru's target had been the Hidden Cloud Village, their situation would have been much worse than Konoha's, which at least had all its people revived.
If the Hidden Cloud Village had faced Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands, the entire village would have vanished from the world. As Yoruha entered the Raikage's office, the people inside frowned. Only Samui, who always had a cold expression, looked surprised upon seeing Yoruha.
"It's actually him. It seems Konoha takes this matter very seriously." The Raikage's office was filled with the Hidden Cloud Village's high-ranking officials and so jonin. Without exception, everyone had bandages on them, having participated in the battle a few days ago.
The outco was obviously not good, or else they wouldn't all be bandaged. Even Samui had them. As Yoruha faced the intense gaze of the group of strong n in the Raikage's office, he remained calm and smiled, saying, "I am Jingwen Yoruha, sent by the Hokage to handle matters concerning your village."
As soon as Yoruha spoke, A stood up and said, "Why would Tsunade send you? Do you understand the seriousness of this incident?" A felt that Tsunade was surely trying to fool him. Given Tsunade's past behavior, A believed that sending soone as young as Yoruha indicated a lack of seriousness about the incident.
Yoruha didn't bother to explain. His appearance indeed made it easy for people to misunderstand. He was too young, and his good looks often led others to doubt his strength.
"The Konoha ninja who dealt with the demons of the Land of Demons." Upon hearing Samui's words, A, who had been furious, cald his anger. Looking at Yoruha, he chuckled, "Hahaha, don't mind . I thought that woman Tsunade was trying to trick again."
A's face, now looking honest and straightforward, changed so quickly that it rivaled any seasoned politician. "As expected, anyone who can sit in that position, even if they lack the skills initially, would have picked them up over ti through observation and experience. Changing faces is definitely a basic skill for any politician."
Even soone like A, who seems like a brute, couldn't have been Raikage for so long without the necessary skills. Not to ntion, under his leadership, the Hidden Cloud Village has developed exceptionally well. It is now the number one ninja village in the world, both militarily and economically. The others in the Raikage's office also looked at Yoruha with so surprise.
Yoruha appeared too young, not like soone with such formidable strength. Originally, A and the others thought Konoha would send Sasuke. Sasuke is renowned in the ninja world, acknowledged as the strongest ninja.
They didn't expect Yoruha to be sent instead. However, since Samui ntioned that Yoruha was the one who dealt with the demons of the Land of Demons, he must be quite powerful. A approached and welcod Yoruha inside.
Sitting on the sofa, A looked at Yoruha and asked, "You must have seen the letters I sent to Tsunade, right?" Yoruha nodded. A felt slightly reassured.
It wasn't because he thought Yoruha understood the strength of the opponent he was about to face, but because Yoruha could read Tsunade's letters, indicating he was soone Tsunade trusted, not just an ordinary ninja sent randomly. A ninja trusted by Tsunade wouldn't be weak. Samui stood behind Yoruha, admiring how calm Yoruha remained in front of A.
A's presence was intimidating. Even soone with her personality felt an instinctive fear standing before him, yet Yoruha showed no such reaction. The other ninjas in the Raikage's office also stood behind A and Yoruha. They all wanted to know how Yoruha planned to rescue Killer B and Yugito Nii.
A continued, "Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki, and their target is the Tailed Beasts. Orochimaru used the legendary Edo Tensei jutsu to revive the First Hokage. It's embarrassing to admit, but despite our numbers in the Hidden Cloud Village, we couldn't defeat a single First Hokage." Yoruha listened calmly to A's account.
Finally, A asked, "Do you have a way to rescue Killer B and the Two-Tails, Yugito Nii?" This was what A wanted to know the most. Of course, he didn't expect Yoruha to charge in and fight. No matter how strong Yoruha was, A didn't believe he had the power to defeat the First Hokage.
They had tried a few days ago. The strength was overwhelming, not sothing a human should possess. Calling him the God of Shinobi was no exaggeration.
Yoruha thought for a mont and said, "Edo Tensei, huh? This jutsu requires dealing with the caster to stop it." Of course, Yoruha could dispel it himself, but he didn't want them to know that.
A said helplessly, "We suspected as much, but Orochimaru wasn't present at the scene. I suspect he's controlling everything from nearby. If it weren't for the First Hokage speaking with Orochimaru's voice, we wouldn't even know it was him."
