At the center of everyone's attention, Kurama puffed out his chest and slowly walked up to the microphone.
"Ahem... no, hmm, that's right."
After adjusting his voice to sound like a mature senior, Kurama nodded in satisfaction.
Choosing to ignore Fū waving at him up ahead and Shukaku watching him from inside a jar nearby, Kurama began his speech.
"Foolish hum... mmph, Tsunade, what are you doing!"
Just as Kurama began his speech with the opening declaration Karin had prepared for him, Tsunade realized something was wrong behind him and immediately covered his mouth.
"Sorry about that."
Tsunade gave everyone an apologetic smile, then dragged Kurama behind a chair. After some friendly communication, Kurama climbed back onto the table with a long face.
"Humans, hello."
"Pfft."
A certain "Tailed Beast" could not help laughing.
Who was it?
Following Kurama's gaze, we saw a jar beside Kazekage Rasa, in front of Gaara, with a pair of sparkling eyes peeking out.
"Stinky Fox, never thought I'd see you like this."
Shukaku grinned smugly from inside the jar.
When he first saw Kurama all dressed up like a proper gentleman, he had mocked him outwardly, but inwardly, he had been a little envious.
After all, Kurama was wearing a bespoke suit, while he was squatting inside a jar.
But when Kurama was dragged away for a scolding, he grew smug.
Hahahaha, Kurama, you Stinky Fox, never thought I'd see the day.
"Humans," huh? Didn't you always love saying "foolish humans" before?
How come you're so meek when you say "humans" now?
"Cat, what are you doing?"
Just as Shukaku was laughing smugly, Gaara behind him suddenly had a brain fart and asked him a question.
Shukaku: hehe-no more hehe.
"Huh?"
He lowered his voice and looked at Gaara in displeasure.
"Oh, raccoon dog."
