"The fourth and final ANBU division of New Kumo is one that you would all be very familiar with, the STORM division, which stands for Special, Tactical, Operational, Rapid, Military. They are the best of the best of New Kumo and are its elite strike force, from the Intel I gathered they have a training programme that takes a toil on even highly trained elite Jonin Shinobi's. They answer to The Raikage and The Raikage alone no-one else, as they wouldn't do anything unless he says so, they take on only the most dangerous, important and vital mission for New Kumo or the Heavenly Alliance that other Shinobi's could not. They are specifically created to counter other Special Forces or to be more precise they are created to take out the special ANBU forces of other Shinobi Nations, hence why their training is so hard, since they are the Special Forces of Special Forces. The division is lead by Hayabusa Ryū, Clan head of the famed Hayabusa Clan whom many of you are very familiar with. Although I don't know really much about him, but I do know he is a highly skilled Ninja, Swordsman and Weapons expert, and is considered the greatest Prodigy to be born in the Hayabusa Clan to be born in over a hundred years, you could even say he's the Itachi of the Hayabusa Clan", finished Jiraya.
This news caused a great deal of concern among the Council members and the Senior Shinobi since from Jiraiya's report the STORM-nins were created to wipe out ANBU special ops divisions from other villages. A force like that would worry and Shinobi Nation and worse still it was commanded by the Clan head of the Hayabusa Clan. Since everyone was familiar with the famous Hayabusa Clan, who were said to have some the best Shinobi's in the world. They were all highly skilled fighters and weapons experts and if Ryū was the Hayabusa Clan version of Itachi then that would make him a highly dangerous Shinobi. Due to the Hayabusa Clan would naturally have highly skilled Shinobi's in the Clan, thanks to their Clan secret training, where if Ryū really was the strongest member to be born in a hundred years he would be a serious threat to any skilled Shinobi.
Kakashi and Danzo we especially concerned and worried at this news as they both even shuddered slightly as they both had previous separate experiences with Shinobi's from this Clan over their years. Where Kakashi faced off against a different member of Hayabusa Clan on three separate occasions and each one resulted in him barely surviving the fights, where he either escaped or fought the member off or drew with him. Danzo himself had fought several members of the Hayabusa Clan on several different occasions and like Kakashi he barely survived each one. His last encounter with one was when he fought against Hayabusa Jô (Ryū's Father), where the battle ended with Jô defeating and nearly killing Danzo, where he cut off Danzo right arm before Danzo barely escaped with his life. Altogether if Ryū was indeed as skilled as Jiraiya said, and was in charged of the STORM-nins, then they were a major threat to him and is ROOT as well as Konoha.
"Also during my time there I heard about several other new Shinobi's that Kumo acquired and who have risen to fame there, although I don't known their real names. I do know their aliases, they are Kumo no Aisuryuu (Ice Dragon Of Kumo), who is a young man rumoured to be a member of the Seiwa Clan who is known for their Hyoton (Ice Release) Bloodline".
"That impossible the last known Hyoton user was killed with Momochi Zabuza over ten years ago at Nami no Kuni by Kakashi", said Homura.
"Well I guess there was at lest one other member left since from what I heard he is definitely a Hyoton user, as he used his Hyoton abilities to completely freeze two thirds of the Godaime Raikage and former Daimyo Yoshiaki armada in a single battle during the Civil War", said Jiraiya shocking everyone there.
"I have also heard about two other Shinobi's known as Shinkukiri no Kumo (Cloud's Crimson Mist) and Kumo no Shirotaka (White Falcon of Cloud), both of whom are rumoured to extremely deadly Shinobi's. Unfortunately I don't know anything about their abilities as I wasn't able to find anything about them", said Jiraiya, which greatly annoyed many people as having no information on a possible enemy Shinobi's abilities could get a Shinobi killed.
"Jiraiya-sama were you able to get any information on The Raikage himself, such as his real name or anything else about his powers and abilities", asked Yamanaka Inoichi.
"Unfortunately no I was unable to gather anything like that about The Raikage as other than the stories we heard about him and some of the things he did in the Civil War, I couldn't really find anything about the man. No-one outside of New Kumo's itself known's anything about him and those that do won't say anything about him to anyone, the guy is as big a mystery as ever it as if he popped out of nowhere. But I was able to learn one key thing about him", said Jiraiya, which of coursed gained everyone's attention.
"Which would be?" asked Aburame Shibi
"The Raikage is not a native Shinobi to either Kumogakure or Kaminari no Kuni he is a foreign Shinobi, although I don't know if he was a Ronin Ninja (3) or was a missing-nin from another Shinobi village or Clan, I still know that he is not native to the Country", said Jiraiya shocking everyone in the room. Since for a foreign Shinobi to become the leader of another Shinobi village was unbelievable, especially to become Kage of one of the Great five Shinobi Nations.
"Impossible!" said Koharu, "No Shinobi that isn't native to a village could become its leader".
"Well seemingly this one did", replied Jiraiya.
"But how?" asked Homura.
"Well the man was the one who united the Rebel factions into a united force, and lead them to victory against the Godaime Raikage and former Daimyo Yoshiaki forces in their Civil War, and single handily stopped a invasion, from Kiri and Mizu no Kuni (Water Country) and destroyed an invading fleet and army making him their hero. Not to mention he was able to unite the remaining other factions that were with the Godaime Raikage and former Daimyo Yoshiaki and get them to join his side after the Civil War and created a stable peace in the village and the Country itself. He is also extremely powerful considering what we just heard from Kakashi and his team and he was also the one who gathered the other Shinobi's and non-Shinobi nations to form the Heavenly Alliance. He is even the one who's responsible for making this New Kumo and Heavenly Alliance so powerful and formable so its only natural that they would have him be their Kage regardless of him being a foreigner or not", answered Jiraiya.
