Hyuga Sho's arrogance far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Facing the Second Hokage, he seemed not to regard him at all.
What was going on...?
"You brat..."
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes, making their already slender shape even narrower.
"What right do you have to do this!?"
"Because I'm Konoha's current Elder, adviser, and Hokage aide...!"

Senju Tobirama was the player.
And Hyuga Sho...
He flipped over the chessboard.
He was done playing.
That was Hyuga Sho's ultimate move.
*You can play your game, and I can flip over my chessboard. I
