Mitokado Homura fell to the floor along with it.
He was utterly bedraggled, like a drowned rat.
The conference room, which had been roaring with laughter a moment ago, instantly fell silent.
Dodai's eyelid twitched sharply too.
Were the Uchiha Clan's ninja really this unhinged?
Even the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage would never publicly humiliate his own elder advisor!

"I'm perfectly calm right now, Advisor Utatane."
Uchiha Minamoto deactivated his [Mangekyō Sharingan], his tone turning gentle.
"My apologies, Mr. Dodai. You've had to witness our dirty laundry...
"Let's discuss
