I'm Waiting for You to Enter the Interrogation Department. What Are You Waiting For?

Danzo drove his cane into the ground, cracking a stone tile.

"Outrageous!"

The old dog had lost his temper. "ANBU, apprehend Uchiha Ye immediately!"

He swept his gaze around. The eight ANBU had already placed their hands on their sword hilts.
