Hiruzen Sarutobi found himself in a difficult position. He had been shoved straight onto the grill.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew full well that he could not go up and speak at a time like this. He had to keep himself clear of the matter. After all, they could just dust themselves off and leave, but he could not.
"Looks like our Third Hokage is rather shy."
"I won't say much more. Get some proper rest, everyone. We'll begin tomorrow."
Uchiha Yato had intended to leave the stage after saying that, but after some thought, he added one more sentence.
"I advise you not to think about challenging me to a one-on-one fight or trying any other little tricks. You can ask the others about the current situation."

Given the current situation, he was clearly wary of Uchiha Yato.
Therefore, the Third Tsuchikage's most urgent task was to obtain more intelligence and information. That was undoubtedly the key priority.
After some twists and turns, the Third Tsuchikage finally managed to find the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

Because of that historical grudge, Mei Terumi naturally would not give the Third Tsuchikage a friendly reception.
After all, there was bad blood between them. It would have been truly strange
