But no matter what Torikaze said, Ōnoki refused to listen. He simply did not like Killer B very much.
"It seems that person really angered the Tsuchikage. If I get the chance, I'd like to see for myself what kind of person could make the Tsuchikage lose his composure like that."
Ōnoki waved a hand. "Believe me, you'll be the same when the time comes."
"Probably only Mifune and Torikaze can put up with that guy. The Mizukage is rather impulsive, so I suppose he counts too."
Torikaze sighed. "Come on, you make it sound like something terrible happened. Enough, we're visiting the Kazekage today, so let's not talk about anything else."
"That's true. Then please, have a seat. Pakura, go bring out some of our village's specialties."
Pakura was only around twenty years old, at the height of her youthful beauty.
Among this batch of newcomers, she was the most outstanding.
Whether in looks or bearing, she was the best of them all.
"Understood, Lord Kazekage."
Afterward, Pakura went to the kitchen and brought back some food and fruit.
As for the other students still standing around, the Kazekage simply dismissed them and told them to go about their business.
"Ah, among these students, I reckon only Pakura can truly stand out. The rest don't amount to much."
Ōnoki said sourly, "Isn't one enough for you? How many more do you want? All five countries are participating this year. If Sunagakure took all the spots, wouldn't that be absurd?"
Although Ōnoki's words were unpleasant to hear, they made sense. With so many countries participating, it was impossible for Sunagakure alone to sweep the top three.
"But that means two countries definitely won't receive a ranking this year. After all, only the top three can receive our resource support."
