The Third Hokage's words only fanned those people's flames further, especially Shimura Rixiang's, who was the fiercest of all. Ronglin watched them with a smile that was not quite a smile, especially that idiot Shimura Rongxiang. Even Hyuga Hiashi no longer dared to challenge him now, yet Shimura Rongxiang had instead become the main force.
"Does everyone think a department like this shouldn't be established?"
Ronglin smiled, folded his arms, and asked.
"Yes!" Shimura Rongxiang was the first to nod and answer.
"Okay, got it."
Ronglin stood and stretched lazily. Without the slightest image of a Hokage, he stepped straight onto the office desk and moved closer to Shimura Rongxiang. Shimura Rongxiang's brows furrowed, and his body leaned back slightly.
He did not understand what Ronglin wanted to do. Though he felt a little uneasy, Shimura Rongxiang still calmed himself down. With so many people present here, Ronglin would not dare do anything to him.
So he was very composed—only to see the corners of Ronglin's mouth slowly lift. Under everyone's dumbfounded stares, Ronglin raised his hand.
Smack!!!
The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire conference room. Everyone's eyes went wide, including Uchiha Diqin's. The little girl's small mouth hung slightly open, wide enough to fit an egg. Ronglin had slapped Shimura Rongxiang right across the face.
Even Kisame Hoshigaki, who knew full well how lawless Ronglin could be, had black lines all over his forehead. Helplessly, he covered his forehead and turned away.
If you wanted to beat him, couldn't you have waited until no one was around? Slapping him in front of everyone at a time like this—wasn't that the same as slapping the Shimura Clan in the face?
"Uh..."
The Third Hokage was stunned too, his face full of utter bewilderment. The same went for Shimura Rongxiang,
