"Colt-sama, Hokage-sama requests your presence."
After returning to the village, Colt was once again summoned by Tsunade within two leisurely days.
"Is there something urgent?" Colt asked lazily, enjoying the grapes fed to him by his maid.
The ANBU lowered his head slightly, afraid to see anything he shouldn't:
"I heard it has something to do with the Cloud Shinobi Village sending messengers soon."
"Hmm." Swallowing the grapes, Colt tapped his finger.
"Understood. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, sir!"
After relaying the news to Colt, the ANBU left immediately without lingering.
Colt stretched and finished the rest of the fruit before slowly rising.
"Take care of the house,"
"Alright," Yakumo smiled gently, thoughtfully smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes caused by lying down for so long.
The girl's delicate fragrance wafted to Colt's nose, momentarily flustering him.
Seeing Colt's unnatural behavior, Yakumo's smile grew even wider.
"You!" Colt lightly tapped her forehead, sighed helplessly, and vanished instantly.
It was somewhat of a retreat.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Yakumo's smile faded as she carefully took out a book titled "Icha Icha Paradise."
Turning to the bookmarked page, she read intently.
Before long, her face turned red.
This chapter happened to be the story of a domineering master and a meek little maid.
"Master, welcome back. Do you want to eat first, or... have me first..."
Leaving the house, Colt strolled leisurely into the Hokage building.
He knocked on the door lightly and only entered after receiving a response.
Tsunade looked slightly surprised.
"I thought you'd come directly with the [Flying Thunder God]. Why are you so polite today?"
Colt rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa.
"There's nothing urgent, so I won't be so abrupt."
Tsunade chuckled and shook her head, handing a scroll to Colt.
"The Cloud Shinobi Village has sent two messengers to hold Sasuke accountable. I intend to leave this matter to you."
Colt took it, glanced at it, and tossed it into the trash can with disdain.
"After two years, they still don't know their place. Leave it to me; I'll take good care of them."
He deliberately emphasized the word "care."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
There were some things she couldn't do as the Hokage, but if Colt handled them, it would be appropriate.
However, she still reminded him.
"Don't let Yugito go out for a few days. Being discovered by the Cloud Shinobis will bring nothing but trouble."
The identity of Yugito was still very sensitive.
Even if she was rescued by Konoha, the Fourth Raikage would not acknowledge them and would probably suspect ulterior motives.
Colt nodded, "Understood."
It wasn't long before Colt received a report informing him that Cloud Shinobi ninja had appeared.
When he arrived, he saw a dark-skinned girl raising her fist, about to strike Naruto.
Swish!
Colt vanished instantly and appeared before Karui.
Before she could react, he kicked her.
Boom!
The recently repaired city wall once again had a large hole smashed into it by the dark-skinned girl.
"Karui!"
Another Cloud Shinobi ninja, Omoi, was shocked and rushed over to check on her condition.
Seeing her unconscious with a large bruise on her chest, he looked at Colt angrily.
"Is this how Konoha receives envoys from other countries?"
Colt scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and nodded very seriously, "You're right, it really was wrong of me to do this."
Just when Omoi thought Colt was going to apologize, he heard him continue.
"To properly receive the messengers, I've decided to kill you first, then let the Fourth Raikage send a new batch of messengers."
A [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] appeared in his hand.
Omoi's expression froze.
Why wasn't this person following the usual protocol?
Fortunately, Naruto pulled him back at this moment.
"Colt, Sasuke did something wrong, and they have the right to be angry at me."
Naruto still regarded Sasuke as a member of Konoha and felt indebted to the Cloud Shinobi Village. This was why he was prepared to let the dark-skinned girl hit him without fighting back.
Colt glanced at him and slowly dispersed the Rasenshuriken in his hand.
"Fine... for your sake..."
"Cloud Shinobi messenger, come to the meeting room in the Hokage Building in ten minutes. I won't wait."
After speaking, Colt disappeared again instantly.
Only the bewildered duo of Naruto and the Cloud Shinobi were left standing there.
Ten minutes later, in the conference room.
Opposite Colt sat only Omoi. As for the dark-skinned girl Karui, she had been sent to the Konoha Hospital.
"Tell me, what does the Fourth Raikage want?"
Omoi was very angry when Colt mentioned the Fourth Raikage's name so casually, but he still forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Uchiha Sasuke from your village, along with the Kirigakure missing nins, captured our teacher, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee. Shouldn't Konoha provide us with an explanation?"
Colt tapped his fingers and said dismissively, "Let me correct you as there were two mistakes."
"First, Uchiha Sasuke was kidnapped by Orochimaru three years ago. Although he didn't officially defect from Konoha, we lost control over him."
"So, what he did has nothing to do with Konoha. If you catch him, I'll thank you on behalf of Konoha."
That was why the Cloud Shinobi Village sent someone to Konoha to hold them accountable.
Following Sasuke's departure, Tsunade did not immediately issue an order for him to become a missing nin at Naruto's pleading.
So, in the eyes of outsiders, Sasuke was still a member of Konoha, and everything he did was understood as Konoha's directive.
From this perspective, Konoha was indeed at fault.
However, Colt was essentially unreasonable towards outsiders.
Looking at Omoi, who dared to speak out, Colt kindly pointed out his second mistake.
"Secondly, if a Jinchūriki is captured, the Tailed Beast will be extracted by the Akatsuki organization. Killer Bee would certainly not survive."
Omoi stood up in shock, knocking over all the teacups in front of him. Hot tea spilled all over the floor.
"What did you say?"
Cloud Shinobi Village knew very little about Akatsuki's intelligence and had no idea what their purpose was.
They still thought Killer Bee was simply captured.
Even with Yugito's rescue.
Now that Omoi heard what Colt said, it's not surprising that he was shocked.
At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded from outside. Colt's expression changed as he hurriedly opened the door and called for an ANBU.
Capítulo 195: Chapter 195: The Anger of the Fourth Raikage

****************
"What happened?" Colt demanded from the Anbu.
"The Konoha Intelligence Department was invaded, and the Akatsuki leader's body was stolen!"
Colt looked at Omoi.
"Stay here. We'll discuss the Cloud Village matters when I return."
Omoi nodded his head, as he didn't want to face Colt's anger anytime soon.
With that, Colt immediately activated the [Flying Thunder God Technique].
One of his in-laws, Yamanaka Inoichi, was the head of Konoha's Intelligence Department.
He had been in charge of researching Nagato's body all this time.
Colt was anxious because he worried about what might have happened to Yamanaka Inoichi.
When he arrived at the Intelligence Department's stronghold near the Hokage Building, thick smoke billowed from the entire structure.
"[Wind Style: Great Breakthrough]!"
Wind appeared and the thick smoke quickly dissipated.
When Colt reached the most important secret room, he found the ANBU guards lying unconscious on the ground.
However, he breathed a sigh of relief even though they were fallen.
These people were only stunned by drugs and not in life-threatening danger.
But Nagato, who should have been lying quietly on the bed, had disappeared.
Shortly after, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the other high-ranking officials arrived.
Jiraiya was accompanied by Konan.
"Where's Nagato?" Konan asked anxiously, not seeing him.
Colt shook his head.
"He was gone when I arrived."
Konan's vision blurred, and she was about to faint.
Colt, quick-eyed and quick-witted, hurriedly caught her.
Colt also had a headache. This woman was a Kage-level powerhouse; how could she faint at this moment?
But, he could understand the importance of Nagato to her.
After asking two ANBU ninjas to help her out to rest, Tsunade ordered, "Search the guards' memories to see who did this."
Soon, Yamanaka Inoichi appeared unharmed and used his clan's secret technique to check the memories of the two ninjas.
His expression was grim.
"They saw no figure, only a snake."
"Snake!"
Simultaneously, a single name appeared in the minds of everyone present.
Orochimaru!
Jiraiya's expression turned serious.
"Why would Orochimaru take Nagato's body?"
When it came to matters concerning his old friend, he became very serious.
Colt suddenly said.
"I guess his target is the Rinnegan, and... [Impure World Reincarnation], right?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, both Tsunade and Jiraiya clenched their fists.
Previously, Orochimaru had used the [Impure World Reincarnation] to kill the Third Hokage and had also tried to use this jutsu to summon Nawaki, attempting to manipulate Tsunade into healing him.
Both were abhorrent to the [Impure World Reincarnation].
However, Colt didn't react much.
After the curse mark on Sasuke disappeared, he knew that Orochimaru had researched the White Zetsus and found a better option.
Colt's purpose was to leverage Orochimaru's talent for exploiting loopholes to see if he could develop a technique with infinite [Rinne Rebirth].
It was just a minor setback now; he hadn't expected Orochimaru to have designs on the Rinnegan so early.
But it wasn't a big problem.
No need to panic.
Now that Nagato's body had been lost, Tsunade and the others had no choice but to strengthen the village's defenses.
Orochimaru had always been unpredictable, and there had been no news of him recently.
Konoha could only defend passively; taking the initiative to attack would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
They could only devise a plan to target him the next time he showed up to cause trouble.
After Colt returned home, he felt that something was off.
It wasn't until lunch the next day that he slapped his forehead.
"How could I forget about the Cloud ninja!"
When he returned to the conference room yesterday, Omoi's lips were pale with thirst and hunger.
"You... you're finally back."
Having rushed from Cloud Village, Omoi had only eaten two soldier pills on the road in the past few days.
Since yesterday until now, he hadn't had a drop of water.
Colt was also a little embarrassed.
Yesterday, he was afraid that Omoi would wander around and see something he shouldn't, so he had locked him up.
Unexpectedly, after dealing with the matter, he had forgotten about him.
"Come on, let's continue yesterday's topic. Where were we?"
"Uchiha... Sasuke," Omoi's voice was weak.
He just wanted to end the negotiation as soon as possible and then go for a big meal.
"Oh yes, Sasuke." Colt tapped his temple.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. According to what you said, Sasuke is acting with members of the Akatsuki organization of his own volition, it has nothing to do with us..."
"So, the Fourth Raikage couldn't find fault with Konoha even if he wanted to cause trouble."
"You're wasting your energy here. Why don't you go back and think about how to deal with the Akatsuki's remnants?"
Omoi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Two days later.
The dark-skinned girl Karui had recovered from most of her injuries.
The two did not linger in Konoha much longer and immediately returned to the Cloud Village to bring the answer to the Fourth Raikage.
**********
Boom!
The desk in the Raikage's office suffered once again.
"Damn it!"
After venting his anger, the Fourth Raikage stood there and wept silently.
In the room, Darui and Omoi were present.
He knew that his 'sworn brother' Killer Bee had likely met with misfortune.
Although they were not biological brothers, they had cultivated their relationship for decades.
Apart from the village, the Fourth Raikage cherished his younger brother the most in his heart.
"Omoi, did Kamiyo Colt reveal more information about the Akatsuki organization?"
Forcing himself to regain composure, the Fourth Raikage decided to avenge Killer Bee.
And that target was Sasuke and the Akatsuki!
"Raikage-sama, the information about the Akatsuki organization has gradually become clear."
"Most of its members are composed of S-rank rogue ninjas from the major shinobi villages. Konoha was attacked by the Akatsuki organization a few days ago, and most of their members have been wiped out."
"The only ones known to have not been captured by Konoha are Uchiha Sasuke and Kisame Hoshigaki."
This information was what Omoi had gathered from the Konoha Village over the past two days.
He then reported on the other members of the Akatsuki organization.
The Raikage fell silent.
He remembered a letter Tsunade had sent him before, which had warned about the dangers of the Akatsuki organization.
It's just that at the time, he thought that the Cloud Village was impenetrable and wouldn't give the Akatsuki an opportunity to attack them.
He had thrown the letter in the trash can.
Now he felt a twinge of regret.
If he had agreed to Tsunade's proposal, the five great nations would have worked together to track down the Akatsuki's whereabouts.
Would Killer Bee and Yugito have been safe then?
"Darui, in my name, send invitations to the other four great nations."
"We will hold a Five Kage Summit!"
