Seeing this, the three little ones immediately cried out excitedly and were about to attack the Fourth Raikage.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you three little ones so anxious for? Lord Raikage was just greeting me. There's no need to be so nervous." Soji hurriedly waved them down before they could make any further moves.
