Naruto Shippuuden Episode 162

[Kraco]

A couple willing ones I could think of would be Sand and Lightning.

My post was a response to TwisT's post where he speculated if some other country might take this opportunity and invade Fire country... I don't see Sand invading Fire at this point, har har.

Like Pain himself kind of said, a war doesn't feel like a war if people don't die and suffer. But it's the truth that after Kakashi kicked the bucket the death of a secretary is a bit... underwhelming. Especially when that death was followed by a bloody nuclear explosion removing the whole village from the cartographers' list of locations.
