"Send this to our adorable Daimyo, who has no bottom line when it comes to screwing himself over. Also, make it public everywhere. I want everyone to know that I, Uchiha Ronglin, am questioning the Daimyo on Konoha's behalf!!!"
Before he had even finished speaking, Ronglin burst out laughing. It was not that he was being malicious; the Daimyo was simply far too adorable.
