Ronglin leaned back in his chair, studying the Third Hokage's gradually aging face, wanting to know what exactly he was thinking.
The Third Hokage wore a smile as he met Ronglin's gaze. One old and one young, the two simply looked at each other. Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged glances, neither showing any intention of speaking.
It was best to let the two handle this matter themselves. It was not convenient for them to interfere.
