Obito talked excitedly for a long time.
"Blah, blah, blah~ Blah, blah, blah~ Blah, blah, blah~"
When he finished,
he turned to Minato and Kakashi, who were staring at him, dumbfounded.
"Hehehe, Minato-sensei, what do you think of my idea?"
Minato closed his mouth and began to think.
"Obito's proposal... is a little crazy!"

"Okay! All done!"
The night grew deeper.
Inside the inn where the diplomatic mission was staying,
Aoyama Jian'er paced anxiously back and forth.
"It's been over an
