"Clearly the Heavenly Alliance is much stronger than they appeared to be. I have to say The Raikage was quite clever to be able to hide those machines and crafts from everyone, especially from Jiraiya spy network. Perhaps I should try and have them join us since clearly with their power added to our own Konoha destruction would only be a matter of time. Although Shio-kun would never agree to it and leave our Alliance since he hates Kumo and The Raikage too much to willing to work with him for a short while. Then again I could always replace Shio-kun with one of my subordinates like I did with the Kazekage and still have Kiri with us. But even if we lost Shio-kun and his forces, the Alliance between us and he Heavenly Alliance would more than make for that lost. Especially with those new weapons and crafts of theirs added to our forces. Not to mention the power of the three Jinchūriki that they have would almost guarantee our victory over Konoha and Suna. Also I could use the Alliance to find out if Kumo really has found "it", since if they have it would make sense at how the Heavenly Alliance became so powerful so quickly and at how Kumo's Shinobi's become so powerful as well". thought Orochimaru after which he then turned to the Mizukage
"So tell me Shio-kun who will be leading your advance invasion force". asked Orochimaru deciding to change the subject so to get back to the meeting.
"My most trusted man Isurugi Raijūta will be leading the invasion". answered Shio in which Raijūta held himself up high and smirked at The Mizukage praise
"Hmmmm, very good then we will look forward to the news of your successful invasion of Wave". After which Orochimaru turned to the other leaders and spoke about several other issues.
After and hour or so of speaking Orochimaru decided to end the meeting
"Gentleman, I believe that we have discuss all that we need to discuss for now and we should return to our respective village, to help make sure everything goes according to plan for operation Burning Leaf. I will contact you all through the usual sources and inform you all when we met next and where". spoke Orochimaru
After Orochimaru finish speaking both he and the other leaders left the room to return to their villages.
After the room had emptied a dark figure that had been hiding in the dark corner of the room moved and disappeared in the shadows of the room.
-One Month later in The Konoha Council Room-
Over a month since the rescue of Kurenai her team and the Princess of Umi no Kuni were rescued, the Council as well as all of the Senior Jonin's were called again for a meeting by Tsuande.
When everyone had arrived Tsuande had began the meeting.
"I'm afraid I have to skip all the pleasantries today since I have urgent news that must be informed that I just received from Jairiya a little while ago". spoke Tsuande
"What exactly did Jiraiya report that is so important?" asked Homura
"Is it about Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance". asked Hana
"No unfortunately Jiraiya has gotten little to noting about either Kumo or the Heavenly Alliance to report since they seem to be keeping things fairly secret. He has informed me that he going to try and sneak into Kaminari no Kuni (Lightning Country) and then into Kumo itself" said Tsuande which shocked many people in the room.
"Is that wise Hokage-sama considering the facts that the last time we sent agents in there to gather information on them the agents were found as soon as they crossed the boarders. If Jairiya-sama is caught the Heavenly Alliance or Kumo may not be as generous as they were last time". said Shikaku
"True but Jiraiya is skilled enough in infiltration and gathering Intel that he should be ok". said Tsuande although as she said this she still could not help but worry about the old pervert.
"Hokage-sama if I may, I believe there was something you wish to inform us about since I do not believe that you called us all here so to inform us of Jairiya-sama plans to infiltrate the Kumo" spoke Shibi
"You're correct Shibi-san". said Tsuande since she realised that they were being sidetrack from what she really wanted to discuss.
"The reason I called this meeting is because when Jiraiya was trying to gather information on The Heavenly Alliance, one of his informants informed him that Kiri is launching and invasion on Nami no Kuni (Wave Country)".
This cause most of the member of Konoha twelve and the old sensei's to gasp in shock, as well as cause several members of the Council to become concern.
"So why dose that matter to us Nami no Kuni is not an Ally to us and they broke all relationship with us as well, so why should we care that Kiri invading it". stated Asai Heita rather arrogantly
"Because you baka if Kiri successfully takes over the Country they can use the Country and the bridge that links it, with Hi no Kuni as a foothold and staging point for attacking us. In which they could easily supply their forces when they attack us. Not to mention if they control Nami no Kuni they can open up a new front against us, in which we would have to setup our own front to hold back their forces. This will result in our forces being spread even more, weakling our other lines and the defences of the village". said Tsuande glaring at the stupidly of the man who was cowed by the glare that Tsuande gave him, and the fact that he had made a fool of himself.
"Then we should just destroy the Bridge linking Hi no Kuni and Nami no Kuni so to eliminate the threat" spoke Danzo
