It was then at the thought of the Library and what it held that Orochimaru smile grew bigger, "Imagine it Kabuto a Library with hundreds of years worth of Knowledge and where it is said to be the location of the greatest collection of Jutsu's in the world, enough Jutsu that could even quench my trust for knowing Jutsu's.".
At this Kabuto nodded his head the idea of all that Knowledge was greatly appealing even to him.
"So what are you going to do about it Orochimaru-sama?" asked Kabuto
"We will ignore New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance for now, as they clearly have no wish to enter this War and mostly likely stay out of it, so to see which of us will win. Besides we need to finish off Konoha and Suna first, but once they have been dealt with we will turn our attention of the Heavenly Alliance. I had originally hoped to use the Alliance with them and us to infiltrate New Kumo and learn its new location. As well as even try and find away to get them to allow me to enter the Library, where I could then explore it and the find away to size it when the time was right to attack and take over New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance. But since that plan has failed we will have to come up with something else, where we would have to take things slowly", said Orochimaru.
Upon hearing this Kabuto nodded again, where Orochimaru then told him to come as they were about to meet with the other leaders of coalition to finalize everything as well as their plans to deal with New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance.
Once Orochimaru and Kabuto left the room, in the dark shadowy corner of the room a dark figure emerged from it before disappearing right into the walls like a ghost or spectre.
-Two Weeks Later-
Currently Alone in the middle of the night under a full moon in a ruins of an old forgotten Fortress, was Jiraiya the Toad Sage who was waiting for someone.
This person was an unknown informant who had contacted him through his intelligence network, telling him that he had information for Jiraiya that would be extremely important to Konoha in its current War with Orochimaru and his allies.
For about fifteen minutes Jiraiaya waited for the contact to arrive, as he waited a dark Cloud covered the moon for a moment or two and when the Cloud cleared. A tall figured wearing an old tattered Crimson Red Cloak stood before right Jiraiya, causing the old Toad hermit to nearly jump in fright as he had never even sensed the man arriving and that was something as Jiraiya sense's were on full alert in case it was a trap like in the Old Kumo ruins.
"Who are you?" asked Jiraiya as he steadied his fast betting heart.
"Who I 'am is of no importance Jiraiya-san, but what I have to tell is important and is vital to your village's survival", replied the man.
Upon hearing this Jiraiya immediately got serious, "So what exactly do you have to tell me?" he asked.
"Orochimaru and his allies are planning a major offensive against your village, where they plan to wipe your village out in one massive attack", spoke the man and shocking Jiraiya.
"What proof do you have of this claim?" asked Jiraiya, since he wasn't sure if he could trust what the man was saying, since he did not know him.
"This!" spoke the man, where he took out a file and threw it to Jiraiya. "In that file contains supply coveys and where they are headed, as well as the locations of several different camps of the invasion force in Ta no Kuni (Rice Field Country) and Kusa no Kuni (Grass Country). The file also gives a detail account of how their going to attack and when it's going to happen".
Jiraiya gave a quick look over the file and upon seeing it; he could tell that if this was true then Konoha was in grave danger.
"How do I know that this is true and how do I know that this isn't part of Orochimaru plan, by having you give me misinformation, so that our forces will be out of position and caught off balance when his forces attacks. That is if they do, since none of our scouts of reported any signs of a large gathering of forces along the boarders".
"That is because they are far enough away from you boarder and hidden well enough so that they cannot be spotted by your forces. But whether you believe me or not Jiraiya-san is of no concern of mine I have given you the information, whether you use it or not is up to you. You can validate the information if you wish through your Intelligence network to prove what I'm telling you, is the truth".
"Fine then I will, although I find it strange that my own informants have not mentioned something like this to me", said Jiraiya as he narrowed his eyes slightly as he still did not trust the man.
"That is because Orochimaru, set up several decoys and false leads for you to follow and kept you busy from finding out about their plan", replied the man.
At this Jiraiya frowned since it did make sense since many of his recent leads about his former teammate and his allies had turned up to be dead ends or simply useless.
"Ok then if that's true then how do you know all this when I don't and why are you telling me all this?" asked Jiraiya as he wanted answers.
"As to how I know all this, that is none of your concerns, but I will tell you that you are not only person that has a large network of spies, informants and contacts and as for your other question. The reason I'm helping you is to strike back at Orochimaru for what he did to me" replied the man.
"And what exactly did he do to you?" asked Jiraiya.
"Like he did to so many other people, he ruined my life", replied the man with a hint of anger in his voice.
For a moment or two there was a pregnant pause, between the two men, where the two of them remained silent, after which the cloaked man then spoke again.
"I have now given you what I came to give you; it is up to you and your village now to use it, I wish you luck in your fight", said the man. After which he then turned and started to walk away from Jiraiya.
"Wait!" cried Jiraiya "I still have more questions for you", but just as he was about to chase after them cloaked stranger, another dark cloud covered the moon for a moment. Where when cloud passed by and Jiraiya could see again, he saw that the cloaked stranger had disappeared without so much as trace or a sound and could not even sense him.
Sighing to himself, Jiraiya quickly decided to head out and confirm some of the things he had learned and what the file mentioned. As he headed out Jiraiya honestly hoped that his contacts would tell him, that what the cloaked stranger told him was a lie, for if it was true, the Konoha was in grave danger and could very likely be destroyed.
-A few Days Later in the Hokage's Office-
Currently sitting in her office, Tsunade was having a meeting with her military advisors, Shikamaru, Shikaku and The ANBU Commander over what they should do about the sudden halt in raids by Kusa, Oto forces along their boarders and raid along the coast by Kiri forces. They were also currently planning on send a deep recon teams to investigate the unusual behaviour of their enemies.
