This time, she stepped in
not because she cared about Hiruzen Sarutobi,
but because
Hiruzen Sarutobi was still publicly respected as Konoha's Hokage.
What the Raikage had done
was a slap in the face to every Konoha Ninja.
"Lord Raikage, calm down!"
Samui hurried to A's side.
The Raikage was far too impulsive.
How could he attack the Hokage in Konoha?
Wasn't that practically asking to die?
Besides,

After he left, everyone who remained exchanged uneasy looks.
Kurenai Yuhi and Uzuki Yugao went without saying,
but even Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy had disappointment written in their eyes.
Was this really Konoha's Hokage?
He had been
