Naruto: Wooing Tsunade from Day One!

"Lord Akatsukikage, the sincerity of our Kumogakure is evident to all."

"Can you give us a definite answer today?"

In the secret meeting room of Akatsukigakure, a young, dark-skinned man fixed his gaze on Yahiko, who sat in the chair of honor. His yellowish hair was neatly slicked back, and he wore heavy armor, making it clear he was not someone to be taken lightly.

"This matter is of great importance, and we still need more time," Yahiko replied reflexively, his smile unwavering.

"Baka yarou, kono yaro! You've said that line eight hundred times already."

"Oh yeah, I've heard it so much my ears are getting calluses."

As soon as Yahiko finished speaking, a boy standing beside the burly man, no older than ten, chimed in. He wore small sunglasses and carried two long knives on his back, his speech carrying a rhythmic cadence.

"Speak formally, asshole."

Before the boy could finish, the young, strong man pinched his head, though his angry gaze remained locked on Yahiko. He was clearly frustrated but held back from speaking out, letting the boy voice his irritation instead.

"Pfft~"

Konan couldn't help but laugh at the comical scene, then turned to Yahiko, her expression full of mockery.
