Yoruha looked at A and asked, "I wonder if Lord Raikage has placed any tracking jutsu on Mr. B and Yugito Nii?" A thought for a mont and replied, "In the Hidden Cloud Village, we have a device capable of detecting life forms with a large amount of chakra within a 1000-kiloter radius. Using that device, we should be able to locate the two of them."
"The Akatsuki can't possibly move them more than 1000 kiloters away in just a few days, right?"
"Moreover, B and Yugito Nii weren't in great condition at the ti. They would need to extract the tailed beast chakra from them while they're still alive, so they surely wouldn't have gone far." Despite A's rough exterior, he was quite sharp. And it's no wonder the Hidden Cloud Village is the wealthiest among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, having such an outrageous device.
If it weren't for the abundance of geniuses, the Hidden Leaf Village wouldn't stand a chance against the Hidden Cloud Village. The Leaf Village really relies on a few exceptionally strong geniuses to hold its ground, as its overall strength is far inferior to the Cloud Village. However, it's clear that the Leaf Village is incredibly lucky, with so many geniuses being born there.
Yoruha said, "Then I ask Lord Raikage to locate them, and I'll figure out a way to rescue them." "And we need to hurry, considering Mr. B and Yugito Nii's situation isn't looking good." A was sowhat skeptical of Yoruha's words. After all, what could Yoruha possibly do?
Could it be that once they find them, Yoruha will personally rescue Killer B and Yugito Nii? Does Yoruha have that kind of strength? Orochimaru can summon the First Hokage, and that's just the First Hokage. What if he summons other Hokage?
For instance, the Fourth Hokage, whom A has fought against and knows how terrifying he can be. However, Yoruha was right; there was no ti to doubt these things now. He could only trust the person Tsunade sent. Tsunade wouldn't send just any ninja to embarrass them.
This was A's thought process. So, A arranged for a few sensory-type ninjas to activate the detection device. Yoruha, anwhile, sat in the Raikage's office to rest.
Seeing Yoruha's calm deanor, showing no signs of tension, A wondered if Yoruha was just pretending or truly confident. For now, he seed to have no choice but to trust Yoruha. Yoruha even had the leisure to enjoy a cup of tea.
But soon, A realized sothing. He looked at Yoruha and asked, "Yoruha, you seem quite familiar with Yugito Nii?" Earlier, Yoruha had used an honorific for Killer B but referred to Yugito Nii directly by her na.
Hadn't they never t before? Besides, Yugito Nii should be older than Yoruha. Why was Yoruha calling her by her na?
Yoruha paused for a mont, then said, "I had the chance to et her a few years ago." Just as Yoruha finished speaking, Samui, standing behind Yoruha, seed to recall sothing. Her face instantly turned red.
"That jerk, how does he have the nerve to bring it up?" Although Yoruha was quite young at the ti, practically a child, now at 17, he's considered an adult in this world, where many have already settled down at 16. Samui felt embarrassed just thinking about her experience with Yoruha three years ago.
A, ever the curious one, kept asking questions. A looked at Yoruha with interest, "Oh, have you t Yugito Nii before? Was it during a mission?"
Yoruha replied calmly, "It should have been during a mission. Miss Samui was there too." A looked up at Samui. Samui nodded awkwardly, "Four years ago, Yugito and I had just finished a mission and t Yoruha while passing through the Land of Fire."
A could tell from Samui's expression that there was more to the story. "It seems like you have a good relationship." Before Samui could respond, Yoruha interjected, "It was just a brief encounter."
Samui shot Yoruha a glare upon hearing this. His words seed ambiguous to her. What did he an by a brief encounter? Was it the kind where he had seen them in a compromising situation? Naturally, Samui wouldn't voice such thoughts. A didn't press further, leaning back on the sofa, "Once we find Killer B and Yugito Nii's location, how do you plan to rescue them? The First Hokage is incredibly strong; you should know that best, given he was your village's First Hokage."
Yoruha nodded, "I know. After all, he's the legendary ninja known as the God of Shinobi." A sighed, "Yes, I didn't believe soone could be called a god until I saw him. He truly lives up to the title of the God of Shinobi. By the way, your village's Fourth Hokage was also very powerful, right?"
Yoruha nodded again. "I once fought him. He's the only ninja in the world who surpassed in speed. Very formidable." Yoruha fell silent.
But Samui spoke up, "Lord Raikage, Yoruha knows the Flying Thunder God Technique." A, who had been lost in thought, was montarily stunned. Then he rembered, "Oh right, Samui did ntion that you know the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Since you managed to handle the demons from the Land of Demons, you must have the ability to rescue Killer B and Yugito Nii, right?" A had lost his previous arrogance after being humbled by the First Hokage. He had realized the gap between himself and true powerhouses.
Now, his only desire was to rescue his brother and Yugito Nii. He feared that if they delayed any longer, they might die after having their tailed beasts extracted. After a bit of casual conversation, a ninja entered and said, "Lord Raikage, we've detected them."
In truth, they had been able to detect Killer B and Yugito Nii's location earlier. But it was aningless; even the village's strongest couldn't match the First Hokage. Knowing their location was futile; attempting a rescue was akin to suicide.
Initially, A considered requesting aid from Konoha, hoping they would send Sasuke. With Sasuke's strength, he had a better chance of rescuing Killer B and Yugito Nii. This showed Sasuke's standing in the ninja world. Even soone as proud as A had to acknowledge his power.
Even when seeking Konoha's help, he specifically wanted Sasuke's support. However, Tsunade sent Yoruha, and A wasn't entirely convinced of Yoruha's abilities. Despite knowing Yoruha had dealt with the demons from the Land of Demons and mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, that was all.
His opponent was the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi. In A's eyes, Sasuke had a much higher chance of success than Yoruha. At this point, Sasuke's strength seed to surpass even Hashirama. But due to the impact of Pain's attack on the village, Tsunade made a decision: Yoruha and Sasuke were not allowed to leave the village simultaneously.
When Yoruha left the village, Sasuke had to stay behind. Pain's attack had a profound impact on Konoha. The village had never faced such a terrifying disaster. If Nagato hadn't been persuaded to use the Rinne Rebirth to revive the villagers, Konoha would have been wiped out.
Although the villagers were revived, the village itself was left in ruins. So neither Tsunade nor the two Hokage advisors wanted Yoruha and Sasuke to leave the village at the sa ti.
