Chapter 811: Authority!
"What in the fucking hell was that? First, they suddenly mellow down and start compromising on nearly everything. Just when the talks are going smoothly, that bastard just explodes and wrecks everything! Which fucking game are they playing at?" A Suna ninja let out his frustrations after they returned to their hotel.
Needless to say, the entire Sunagakure team was confused. The events in their meeting weren't just unusual but downright bizarre! No one had ever seen talks swing this wildly and abruptly before. They couldn't understand what Konoha's plan was.
After discussing it for a bit, an old Jounin said, "Actually, I was observing the reactions of Konoha ninjas when Fujin had his outburst. They too were caught off guard by his actions. And, I don't think any of them were acting.
I believe something happened, causing Konoha to soften their stance to reach an agreement with us quickly. However, Fujin may not have been satisfied by the sudden change and lost his cool due to the constant compromises they were making. Considering how he was staring at us before he went ballistic, I'm even more certain that this is the case…"
Arisa shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate him. He isn't just a brute. If he was truly the one behind our troubles in the West, then he's as good at scheming as he is at fighting. His actions, though bizarre, must serve a purpose. A purpose that would be very disadvantageous for us."
Yura sighed and muttered, "Yes. I didn't think he'd use my words in such a manner…"
Arisa said, "While there is little doubt that Konoha was involved, we don't have any proof. Trying to use it in negotiations will only hurt us. Let's not mention it from here onwards."
Everyone nodded. The old Jounin once again spoke, "Actually, there was another odd thing. Do you recall how the Sand Slayer referred to Lord Third's death?"
His words made everyone think. Within a matter of seconds, everyone's eyes widened. Another Suna ninja asked, "Do you mean to say he knows what happened to Lord Third?"
