The longer someone lived, the more unreasonable they tended to become. Ōnoki was exactly that kind of person.
If you dared to talk back to him, then unless he had no leverage over you, he could jump down your throat in minutes.
"Humph!!!"
At Rasa's words, Ōnoki grew displeased. He snorted coldly and said unhappily:
"What, Kazekage? Are you deliberately accusing Iwagakure and Konoha? Then why don't you talk about Sasori of the Red Sands from your village? What an accomplishment—your village's rogue ninja used a spy to pull away the guards at the village entrance, then swaggered in and took the Jinchuriki away. Some people even ended up covered in injuries and nearly died."
Trouble had arrived!
The moment Tsunade heard Ōnoki say that, she knew things had become serious. There was basically no chance of discussing things properly today; an argument was unavoidable.
To be honest, Tsunade felt somewhat displeased as well. Your Sunagakure had an S-rank rogue ninja who joined Akatsuki, so what were you whining about?
Whining was one thing, but why did you accuse others without mentioning Sasori of the Red Sands from your own village?
Ōnoki was not wrong to snap back at you.
Anyone would have felt uncomfortable in this situation.
"You!!!"
Rasa was so enraged that he stood up at once and glared at Ōnoki. Ōnoki merely snorted disdainfully.
Other than shouting, what else could you do, Rasa? If you have the guts, come fight me!!
"Enough, you two. Aren't you afraid people will laugh if word of this gets out?"
Kuzhuzhi helplessly tried to mediate, only for Rasa to shoot him a glare.
"This is none of your business. As if Kirigakure is any better!!!"
"..."
His attempt to help had earned him nothing but a cold reception. Kuzhuzhi's heart sank,
