But Hiruzen Sarutobi had forgotten that the people sitting here weren't all old foxes like them. There was a hotheaded youngster among them, too.
Bang!
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're dreaming! If you want to fight, then let's fight!"
A thunderous slam rang out from the table!
On the other side of the table, the Fourth Raikage could no longer contain his anger and rose to his feet.
Unlike Ōnoki and the others, he didn't consider whether they could win or how much fighting strength each side possessed. He simply wanted revenge for his father.
And in his muscle-filled brain, he simply believed that the entire village had united in its desire for vengeance. If Konoha refused to hand over Chihane, everyone in the village would give their all to storm Konoha and kill him.
