Chapter 405: Determination
All kinds of arguments and discussions filled the air, but the Third Raikage didn't interrupt. He remained silent until the noise gradually died down, then spoke slowly.
"Quiet down."
"From now on, let's all speak civilly. I don't want this to happen again."
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
In just a short time, the room had split into three factions. The majority opposed handing over Two-Tails, the neutral group followed, and the smallest faction supported the idea.
"Lord Raikage, I don't think it's impossible to hand over Two-Tails."
The voice belonged to Dodai, the Third Raikage's most trusted subordinate. Though he hadn't spoken during the earlier debate, his words now left many stunned. Was this really the same Dodai, so devoted to the village?
"You... Did you just say—?"
A burly man shot up from his seat, but as he met the Raikage's cold gaze, sweat beaded on his forehead. His anger-clouded mind cleared instantly, and he sat back down with an awkward smirk.
"Many disagree," the Raikage stated. "Tell me your reasoning."
He withdrew his gaze, signaling Dodai to continue. His expression remained unreadable.
