Ōnoki's gaze swept over like a blade.
"General Mifune, do you have something to say?"
Ōnoki interrupted Mifune rather roughly.
"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!
"The Five Kage Summit was held in the Land of Iron, and all security arrangements were entrusted to your country.
"Now that something this disastrous has happened at the Five Kage Summit, you bear responsibility too!
"If I'd known this dump of a Land of Iron was so unsafe, this Five Kage Summit should have been held in... in Konoha!"
At that moment.
Ōnoki made absolutely no mention of how he himself had rejected the suggestion to hold the Five Kage Summit in Konoha.
Faced with Ōnoki's forceful attitude.
Mifune immediately swallowed his words.
The illustrious general of the Land of Iron could only bow his head and admit fault.

Ōnoki pressed his advantage.
