Rasa was the first to leave. Ōnoki and Ay exchanged glances, each seeing the helplessness in the other's eyes.
"Hokage, isn't this going a little too far?"
Among the four Kage, only Ay and Ronglin could still have a few words with each other. As for Rasa?
Ronglin had directly blacklisted him. Ōnoki was too old; there was not much they could talk about.
"It's already merciful enough that I'm not looking for trouble with him. He dared to scheme against me."
Ronglin snorted and did not forget to glance at Ōnoki, making him somewhat embarrassed. In truth, if he had calmed down and thought things through during that meeting, so many conflicts would not have happened. But given the situation back then, would Ōnoki have had the chance to calmly think?
No matter who it was, having some teenage brat point at their nose and curse them with one "Laozi" after another, mixed with profanities, would not feel pleasant.
There was no point thinking about it now. And since Ronglin dared say that, he must have already determined that Rasa was the truly devious one.
Knowing that now was useless. All Ōnoki could do was secretly stay on guard against Rasa setting him up. Other than that, he could only treat what had happened before as already past.
"Besides Orochimaru and Danzō, we also need to stay wary of Akatsuki's other members. I never expected such an organization to emerge from the tiny Land of Rain. Just how strong is their leader?"
Whenever he thought of Akatsuki, Ōnoki got a headache. He could not understand how such an organization had emerged from a tiny country like the Land of Rain.
"He must be very strong. Otherwise, he couldn't keep the others in line. There's no question about it."
