As soon as Bieshu Feifan spoke, both sides of the negotiations fell speechless for a moment.
Danzo, however, smiled faintly.
Sure enough, an idiot had his uses.
Danzo glanced sideways to see Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, only to find Hiruzen looking at him too, his face dark.
Danzo hastily averted his eyes and continued sitting in silence.
Bieshu Feifan knew what Danzo intended.
But when it came to making Hiruzen Sarutobi miserable, their goals aligned.
Since Danzo had provided the stage, Bieshu Feifan had to put on a good performance.
