After which the Civilian Council members shut up and sat down where Tsuande then turned to Kurenai and her team.
"Kurenai who was it that rescued you and your team-mates from the "The Hold" ". asked Tsuande although she already had an idea who had rescued them.
"We were rescued by Shinobi's of Kumogakure (The Hidden Cloud)".
This caused a large amount of muttering to go around the room which soon died down when Homura stood up and asked the question that was on everyone mind
"Kumogakure? But why would they attack the "The Hold" and save you and your team-mates?"
"The reason why they attack "The Hold" was not to save us but to save Princess Sachi as well as help the Rebel Prisoner's, who were held there to escape. We just tagged along since they took pity on us and decided to save us" spoke Kurenai
"What? But why would they want to rescue the Princess Umi no Kuni (Sea Country) it is not Allied to the Heavenly Alliance nor is it a member". spoke Koharu who was confused like many in the room at the action of Kumo
"The reason was because although the Umi no Kuni is not Allied nor a member of the Heavenly Alliance Tsuki no Kuni and Getsugakure are Allied to the Heavenly Alliance, and since Princess Sachi is engaged to Prince Hikaru of Tsuki no Kuni, it then concerned them or that at lest their reasoning". answered Kurenai which cause more muttering around the room which ended when Inoichi stood up and asked another question
"But if that was the case why then did they help the Rebel Prisoners there escape?"
"The reason I believe is because Kumogakure and the Heavenly Alliance have made some sort of Alliance with The Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni" replied Kurenai shocking many members and senior Shinobi's.
"This could be troubling since if Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance are Allied with the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni then it would make them more powerful. But then again it could be put to our advantage since if the Heavenly Alliance plans to wage War against Kirigakure (The Hidden Mist). Then Kiri forces would be too busy fighting with the Rebel Factions and the Heavenly Alliance, that they would be unable to help Orochimaru and the remainder of his Allies". spoke Danzo where many were muttering agreement to what Danzo had said
"We will leave that discussion for a later point since it too earlier to come to conclusions to what Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance are planning on doing". spoke Tsuande after which she then turned to Kurenai and her team.
"Kureani I believe many people here like myself would like to hear how Kumo was able to break out the Princess as well as all of you out".
This got murmurs of agreement from everyone in the room since they wanted to known as well. But before Kureani could even speak Jiraiya stood up in front of everyone.
"Before Kurenai gives her account on the events that happened at "The Hold" I would like to present my account on the event, since I was there to witness to some of what happened. Since as you all know I was order by Tsaunde to observe the Prison and gather Intel on it, during which I witness the attack on the "The Hold" and their rescue by Kumo. Also during the attack I was able to record it with my portable reel camera, that I had planned to use to record the patrol movements of the guards" said Jiraiya as he held up the reel.
Quickly enough the Council had a reel projector brought in and pulled down a large projector screen that was on one of the walls in the Council room, that was sometimes used for the Council to watch picture clips or film recordings (such as the one they were watching now).
For the next five minutes Tsuande, Kurenai and the others as well as the Council and the senior Shinobi's watched the attack. They watched Kumo Airship attack the Prison and watch it destroy the volley guns and then launch the STORM ANBU on their Gliders, where they in turn fired Jutsu down on the Kiri-nins. After which they then watched the Airship drop the Swordfish into the Water, where it created the giant wave that washed away the Kiri-nins in the open area and flooded it with Water. They then watched the Airship fire the smoke bombs into the open area of the Prison. After which they then preceded to watch the STORM ANBU land on the sea wall and jump into the smoke filled open area. They also watch for the remainder of the five minutes the different times the Swordfish would rise out of the Water and fire it volley guns. Soon enough they watched the Swordfish blowing open the gate for docking point two where it quickly left with Kurenai and the others on the Swordfish roof. They also saw the Rebel ships leaving the supply dock under the cliffs and sail away after which they then saw the bottom level of Prison itself blown up. Where the Prison then began to collapse in which they saw several Kiri-nins, who were near the collapsing building being crushed by the falling pieces. After which they then saw the Swordfish sink under the Water.
When the film had ended the entire Council room was so quite a person could hear a pin drop, since they were completely stun at what they had witness since in that short recording, they had witness Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance having crafts and weapons far beyond any other Nation. Even Kurenai and he team were shocked since they had not seen this part of the attack on the Prison, since they were in their cells at the time hence they did not know about the Airship or the weapons it had.
After the film ended Jiraiya then spoke
"As you saw the Attack lasted less than five minutes and in that time frame the entire Prison population of three hundred Prisoners escaped and Kiri lost over four hundred Shinobi's in that attack most being killed when the Prison collapsed".
After a few minutes everyone quickly got over their shock, in which the Council room quickly erupted in shouting and yelling, about what they had seen and what Konoha should do as well as other things such as.
"HOW COULD KUMO BECOME SO POWERFUL WITHOUT US KNOWING?"
"WE MUST SEND OUR SHINOBI'S IN TO STEAL THE PLANS TO THOSE WEAPONS IMMEDIATELY!"
"WE'VE TO ATTACK THEM NOW BEFORE THEY TURN ON US!"
After a few minutes of this Tsuande had enough.
"SILENCE!" she roared in which she then let loses a massive amount of Killing Intent and slammed her fist down onto the Council table which caused massive cracks to be seen on the table.
"Now before you all start screaming your head off, about what you have seen and what we should do I believe we should hear Kurenai and her team report, about the attack so that we can get the full picture of what happen". spoke Tsuande in a authoritative manner showing why she was The Hokage.
