Yagura: I Have a Hundred Thousand Whys

Jingyi still came to receive Yagura, but this time they did not talk over a meal. Before Yagura could rest, he was led to a meeting room in the Hokage Office Building.

The Third Raikage, Third Kazekage, and Ōnoki had already been waiting for quite some time.

The moment Yagura entered the meeting room, the Third Raikage could not help complaining:

"Mizukage, you sure took your time. Does Kirigakure not have any shinobi with flying Summoning Beasts?"

"???"

Was I that slow?

Yagura had not expected to be greeted by such a complaint.

"We do, but Konoha did not make it clear why we were being invited here."

Yagura made it clear that he would not take the blame.

While some shinobi in our village have flying Summoning Beasts and could have gotten here at top speed, Konoha never said what they wanted from us.

If I had known there was an urgent matter, I definitely would have rushed over immediately instead of slowly taking a boat, then Bus No. 11.

"Where is the Hokage?"

Yagura did not want to linger on the subject. He glanced around the meeting room and asked.

They were holding the Five Kage Summit on Konoha's turf, yet Tsunade, the Hokage, had not shown herself. That was not right.

"I will fully represent Konoha in this matter. Mizukage, please sit first."

Jingyi took the seat at the head of the table and gestured for Yagura to sit so they could talk things over.

Yagura said nothing in response.

If seniors like Ōnoki, the Third Raikage, and the Third Kazekage had no objections, what could he, Yagura, say?

Even if he had objections, he could not voice them now.

Once Yagura was seated, Jingyi got straight to the point and explained Madara Uchiha's situation.

The others
