Chapter 253: A Safe Return to the Village
Genji's face stiffened for a moment before he forced himself to relax.
"Fine," he said through gritted teeth.
Kawakaze felt a surge of joy at seeing Genji struggle to maintain his composure.
You're a smart guy! he thought to himself.
"Thank you so much. If there's anything else in the future, you can find me in Konoha," Kawakaze said, his tone dripping with faux politeness.
He reveled in the sense of control and the satisfaction that came with each victory in negotiation.
"I'll have someone fetch it," Genji said curtly, standing up to give the order.
He could barely tolerate Kawakaze's act of false courtesy.
You still need something from me? Kirigakure isn't enough for repayment?
Genji made a mental note to warn the next Mizukage to never engage in dealings with Kawakaze Hatake from Konoha.
Otherwise, they'd surely be left with nothing.
