"So you want to trade us something we can take whenever we want?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly, cold light flickering in them.
At those words, Karatachi Yagura and Genji's expressions turned extremely ugly. A chill rose from deep within them; they both understood the threat in the other party's words.
But they had no other choice. It wasn't as if Kirigakure hadn't considered using force to bring Mei Terumi back to the village over the past year.
The current Kirigakure, never mind Uzumaki Naruto and Minato Namikaze before them—even the Uchiha under his command could plow through their entire village.

Even Naruto and Uzumaki Suika couldn't help glancing sideways.
On the surface, Genji's words meant he supported Mei Terumi's policies, but in truth, he was showing goodwill to the Land of Waves.

And Kirigakure's destruction
