Meanwhile, in the meeting room.
A hulking, bronze-skinned muscleman took a commanding gulp of water, soothing his overworked throat.
Honestly, having a loud voice really did offer plenty of advantages during a meeting.
For example, even if everything you said was nonsense, people would instinctively feel you had contributed a great deal to the discussion.
However, as he relaxed with his water, he realized someone had been gone for a while.
"Mabui, where's Yugito Nii?! She hasn't come back yet?"
Mabui froze for a moment, then turned to Samui.
Silence was the loveliest Cambridge.
"Wait! Our Two-Tails Jinchūriki is missing!"
A immediately put down his cup and roared.
"No way! Didn't that Obito guy already leave?"
"Maybe he secretly grabbed her while we weren't paying attention."
As everyone discussed it, an ANBU member crept over to Tsunade, hunched over and looking decidedly sneaky.
"Mishi mishi, slippery slippy..."
Tsunade's eyes lit up, and a slightly smug smile curved her lips.
"Ahem, well, everyone, don't worry. Kumogakure's Jinchūriki just went out to eat."
"To ensure the Jinchūriki's safety, we even thoughtfully sent an ANBU member along."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but A suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait, that ANBU member you're talking about wouldn't happen to be Kakashi Hatake, would he?"
A's voice trembled slightly, and Samui's expression changed dramatically too.
Seriously, girl? A moment ago, you two were acting like neither of you wanted to see the other, and now you've run off for a meal together?
"Hehe."

"Ahem, mainly, Kakashi's Dōjutsu happens to counter Obito, which is why we sent him."
"Lord Raikage, you can rest completely assured. With Kakashi there, nothing will happen to the Jinchūriki ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ."
Tsunade planted her hands on her hips with righteous conviction and nodded
