"A! How do you explain this?!"

"This is a failure on your part as Raikage! The Kumogakure ninja operating in Kusagakure... because of your negligence, they fought in despair and died in despair!"

Elder Advisor slammed his staff on the ground, his face contorted with fury. His opening words were a calculated attack, aimed at undermining A's authority.

The report on Samui lay on the conference table, a copy for each member of Kumogakure's leadership.

Some, after reading the report, closed their eyes, feigning indifference. Others subtly glanced at the Fourth Raikage, A, trying to gauge his reaction.

The report detailed the stark contrast between the inscriptions on Konoha and Kumogakure's new headbands. The evidence? The film Konoha: War Ninja and the accounts of merchants Elder Advisor had secretly sent to Konoha.

Initially, this intelligence had been meticulously analyzed by the Elder Council, forming the basis for the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere and subsequent operations.

Now, a seemingly insignificant film had exposed Samui's blunder.

The worst thing for an intelligence agency was receiving false intel from its agents. The implications were far-reaching.

If even a single piece of intel was false, the entire credibility of the undercover agent was called into question.

Had the agent defected? Were they unknowingly manipulated? Or were they actively collaborating with the enemy?

And the most pressing question...

Regarding Konoha's special military operation against Kusagakure, did Samui deliberately withhold information, or was she genuinely unaware?

If the former, she would pay dearly for the deaths of the Kumogakure ninja in Kusagakure! And the Raikage, who had personally chosen Samui for this mission, would also be held accountable.

A gripped the report, his breathing becoming ragged.

How could this be?

The headband inscription was supposed to be [Strictly Abide by Local Laws]. How did it become [Konoha's Unwavering Support]?

He had planned to promote Samui to his personal secretary upon her return. Why was her loyalty now being questioned?

A forced himself to remain calm. "This... might be an oversight on Samui's part. After all, the intel she's sent since then has been accurate."

"Including the Kirigakure rebellion and Konoha's subsequent foreign policies. If she'd truly defected, how do you explain that?"

Damn, A's actually using his brain.

Elder Advisor narrowed his eyes, maintaining his composure. "Undercover agents are like that. If they don't deliver critical intel, how can they expect continued support?"

He then raised his voice, "And... I've made inquiries. Samui used the funds we provided to purchase a house for Gojo Kaigetsu in Konoha!"

"With the village facing financial difficulties, Samui squandered village assets on real estate in Konoha! This is a blatant act of aiding the enemy!"

"We will not tolerate such treachery!"

Elder Advisor blew the horn of his final assault. "After careful deliberation, the Elder Council has deemed Samui disloyal to Kumogakure. We are initiating an internal investigation... A, you'll oversee the initial review. Thoroughly examine the Anbu personnel roster."
