Soon enough everyone calm down after which Kurenai then began to explain the events of what happened during the escape. She also described the skills that she witness from the STORM-nins from their use of the Blind Assassin Art, their Jutsu combination skills and their team work skills. She even mentioned that in her own opinion from watching the STORM-nins that they were superior to their own ANBU division (which did not sit well with the Council or many others).
Lee also informed them of what he had seen the STORM-nins do when he fought along side Falcon and Hawk.
After Lee described what he had seen, Kurenai then went on to explain what Commander Sun Li had told them in why they were saved, and also told them of the battle that happened when they were in the Swordfish, and how the STORM-nins had defeated Kiri elite underwater fighting unit SHARK.
This also did not go well with Council since it further proved that Kumo STORM division was superior to their own ANBU division.
Kurenai then explained the battle with the Kiri Warships and told them of Kumo Fortress ships and described them. Which of course shock and stunned everyone including Jiraiya (who was surprised that Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance could keep something like them secret from his spy network). The stunned Council refused to believe it at first but once Lee. Sakura and Choji all backed up Kurenai on the existence of the Fortress ships and her description they had no choice but to believe them. This of course then caused pandemonium in the Council room, where people began to shout out again about what they should do about them. But thankfully Tsuande was able to order silence in the room
After which Kurenai then explained how the Fortress ships swallowed up the Swordfish and how they met The Rokudaime Raikage which surprised everyone.
"You actually met with The Rokudaime Raikage?" said a surprised Homura since Konoha had been trying to gather whatever they could about the man for several years now. Yet they hardly got anything other that the events that made him famous, like destroying the Kiri Armada. As well a few rumours about him that could not be true like that he was a god made into mortal form, and that he could control the heavens and could level entire mountains with a single strike it was as if he just appeared out of nowhere.
Kurenai just nodded to the question.
To which Homura then asked "Please describe him to us and what he is like as well as anything you can tell us about him".
"I'm afraid there is not much I can tell about him since we did not speak with him for very long nor can I give you much of a description of him. Since he wore the traditional attire of The Raikage and wore a mask similar to Kakashi's to hide his face. The only things I can be certain by his description is that he is tall about six foot two in height and that he has blue eyes" answered Kurenai
"What about the type of man he is?" asked Homura
"I'm afraid there not much I can help there either since as I said we did not talk much with him. Although I will say that he is a man with immense power since he had a kind of aura around him that spoke of immense power and authority". said Kurenai
This of course did not please the Council since it did not really answer any of the questions that they had about the man.
"Although there is one think of vital importance we did learn about The Raikage", said Kurenai.
This of course got everyone interest where Tsuande signalled her to continue.
"We were able to learn that The Raikage is also Sourai (Blue Lightning), the same man that killed the Akatsuki members Kakuzu and Hidan", spoke Kurenai.
This of course caused many gasps of surprise and looks on shock on many people faces in the room.
"Are you certain of this", asked Tsuande urgently.
"Yes we are since The Raikage admitted it himself when I asked to speak to Sourai, in which The Raikage told us that he was Sourai, and that he had wanted people to believe until recently that both he and Sourai were two different people". replied Kurenai
"But why would he want to do that?" asked Ashikaga Shin who was confused as to why The Raikage would go to all the trouble at hiding what he was capable of doing
"It's simple if you think about" spoke Jiraiya which caused everyone to turn and look at him.
"What do you mean by that Jiraiya-sama?" asked Hojo Akira.
"Like I said it simple if you think about it, during the time when the Civil War in Kumogakure and Kaminari no Kuni (Lightning Country) had ended, both the village and the Country were in no great shape. Their military forces, finances and economic structures were hit hard. Also if another Shinobi Nation or neighbouring Country had attacked both Kumogakure and Kaminari no Kuni, they would've been hard pressed to push them back. Hence The Raikage did the smart thing by keeping all their main strength hidden, as well as keeping his own powers and abilities unknown to everyone. So that other Nations would be wary to attack them without knowing what he could do or how strong their military forces were".
"But still why did he have everyone believe that he and Sourai were two separate people?" asked Asai Heita.
"Same reason as to why he kept his powers and abilities hidden from everyone, Kumogakure and Kaminari no Kuni were still recovering from the Civil War. The same was true during the events with the Jinchūriki of the Nibi no Bakeneko (Two-Tailed Monster Cat), which was when the name Sourai came to attention to other Shinobi Nations and organisations. The Raikage properly knew that once word got out that two wanted S-Class missing-nins were killed by a single Shinobi, people would want to know who was powerful enough to do it especially the Akatsuki. Hence he must have decided to leak the news out that it was his other persona Sourai, was the one who did it. Since no-one knew he was Sourai and the Akatsuki and other Shinobi's Nations, would believe that Kumo had another powerful Shinobi under its command. Since everyone knew that Kumo had two Jinchūriki's, the Nibi no Bakeneko and the Hachibi no Kyogyū (Eight-Tailed Giant Ox). Everyone had also heard the rumours of The Rokudaime Raikage, so if people believed that Kumo had another very powerful Shinobi who would be Kage level or close to it. Then they would be a lot more hesitant to make any kind of attack against Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni, not to mention the other rumours we've been hearing about other powerful Ninja's being in Kumo lately", said Jiraiya after which he took a breath and continued
