Sunagakure was being dissolved, and the people in the village had not even said anything yet. What did that have to do with Konoha's Hokage's Assistant?
Chiyo frowned and looked at Baki before her. "Konoha is meddling too much. Sunagakure has already dissolved according to the Feudal Lord's Mansion of the Land of Wind's demands. If they have anything to say, they can go to the Feudal Lord's Mansion of the Land of Wind themselves! All that remains in the village now are Rogue Ninja!"
"I already told them exactly that!" Baki nodded with a bitter smile. "But the ninja army's strategist—Shimura Danzō—said that he would not allow Sunagakure to dissolve. He also said that he hoped we could talk it out. The Five Great Ninja Villages are all brothers, bound by ties of friendship that have endured since the villages were founded. There is no need to make things so stiff. Everything is negotiable; there is no need to go to extremes!"
"???"
Why did that guy suddenly sound so slick?
And even if Sunagakure was taking things to extremes, why was the Ninja Alliance of the Four Great Ninja Villages suddenly so concerned?
They had clearly arrived in such an aggressive manner at the start, shouting about killing and fighting. Now they wanted to negotiate?!
Chiyo froze for a moment, then waved her hand. "There is nothing to discuss. Tell them to go find the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind if they have anything to say!"
Things had reached this point. There was no turning back!
With an inward sigh, she looked at Leader Mang before her and was just about to speak.
"Wait!" Kusana called out to stop Baki, who had been about to leave. Squinting slightly, he said, "Danzo came too?"
"No, Leader Mang!"
