Anhua immediately nodded and wrote it down in his notebook. "Of course, Lord Hokage. I'll take care of it. General Mifune and I get along pretty well, and I know a little about his preferences."
Torifu knew about this. Before Mifune became a general, Anhua had accompanied him on his visit to Konoha. For a whole week, Anhua had shown them around the village.
They could be called old friends, but now that Mifune had become a general, he naturally couldn't treat Anhua as an equal and call him his friend.
That was just how the Shinobi World worked. Though Torifu didn't like people calling him "sir" all the time, there wasn't much he could do about it.
Even the villagers of Konoha believed there should be a distinction between superiors and subordinates, let alone people from other countries.
This wasn't something that could be changed overnight. It would take time for the villagers' way of thinking to shift, with each generation making a little progress.
Torifu felt that trying to change the deeply ingrained beliefs of tens of thousands of people in just a few years was beyond human ability.
"Besides Mifune, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage should be leaving soon too. You can ask about their exact departure dates and send them each a gift."
They were people of standing, so whether they were arriving or leaving, there had to be a proper reception or send-off.
It was the least they deserved.
"Of course, Lord Hokage. I've written it all down."
With that, Torifu had nothing else to take care of. After chatting with Anhua for a while longer, he left the office and headed home.
As he opened the office door and stepped out, he saw a group of ninjas carrying several large boxes toward the Personnel Department.
