Only after a lengthy explanation from Hiruzen Sarutobi did Bieshu Feifan calm down, patting the Kumogakure envoy on the shoulder and laughing heartily.
"Oh, look at you. Since you're neither an assassin nor a spy, you should've said so earlier.
You were acting so shifty, I nearly hacked you to death.
Luckily, it was all just a misunderstanding. Hahahaha!"
The Kumogakure envoy watched Bieshu Feifan stand on tiptoe to pat his shoulder, his expression shifting.
Only after spending quite some time trying to compose himself did he speak:
"Genin Bieshu, I'd like to hear about your recent mission. Could you tell me about it in detail?"
"No."
The Kumogakure envoy's face darkened.
"Why?"
Bieshu Feifan explained:
"We can't discuss Konoha's missions with outsiders.
You're an outsider, aren't you?
Why would you dare come openly into our Konoha Gang to fish for information?
You've got some nerve!"
Then Bieshu Feifan turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Bro, look at him.
He's asking about Konoha's secrets outright. How about we just cut him down?"
Both Hiruzen Sarutobi's and the Kumogakure envoy's faces darkened.
It took another lengthy explanation from Hiruzen Sarutobi to convince Bieshu Feifan
that the man wasn't a spy and was only here for a routine exchange of information.
Bieshu Feifan seemed to take that in and sat down in front of the Kumogakure envoy.
He held out his right hand, rubbing his thumb against his index and middle fingers.
"What does that mean?"
The Kumogakure envoy's expression was already quite ugly.
This Genin named Bieshu Feifan didn't seem very bright.
Bieshu Feifan frowned at his question.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?
This gesture means you need to pay.
You don't even understand that basic rule? Is everyone in Kumogakure this rude?"
The Kumogakure envoy immediately rose, gritting his teeth
