In the end, the Nara Clan Head took the lead and said quietly, "Your Highness, about these... emotional distress damages..." Was it really all right to be this shameless?
The arrangements for the prisoners of war had actually already been put into effect.
At first, the Nara Clan Head had raised an objection, arguing that letting some of the shinobi sent over by the two hostile shinobi villages as prisoners of war manufacture parts for new weapons was extremely dangerous.
