The Hokage's Office was packed once again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at the head, his expression grave.
Then-
"Make room, squeeze over. I'm here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and saw Bieshu Feifan, dressed as a giant banana again, carrying a stool as he squeezed his way over.
He shoved not only Danzo aside, but Hiruzen Sarutobi as well.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura rolled their eyes.
