This operation was of extraordinary significance to him. It was not merely a matter of avenging a personal grudge; more importantly, his target was a renowned mining city controlled by Iwagakure. According to the precise intelligence he had gathered, this city harbored a massive and exceptionally abundant reserve of Chakra Metal.
These precious reserves of Chakra Metal were precisely the critical materials urgently needed for a special project currently underway in the Cloud Village. Because the Ninjutsu-Taijutsu style was prevalent in the Cloud Village, their demand for weapons forged from Chakra Metal was extremely high. As a result, the Cloud Village's overall demand for Chakra Metal far exceeded what the mines within the Land of Lightning could supply, even when combined.
One must understand that this mysterious special project was directly related to whether Iwagakure would have the capability in the future to replace Konohagakure and leap to the position of supreme overlord in the Shinobi World.
