Chapter 401: What Do You Lament
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. It’s unbelievable that such a thing happened," Nagasawa said with an apologetic look as he and Minato returned to the highest floor of the venue.
The sincere gaze and serious expression on Nagasawa’s face might have convinced the Fourth Raikage and the other Kage hadn’t Nagasawa exuded the aura that made it hard for them to breathe.
"Assistant Nagasawa, there’s no need for you to apologize. It’s not Konoha’s fault; it’s that darn attacker. Us Kumogakure despises cowards like the one that brings that monster," the Fourth Raikage stammered.
Ōnoki rolled his eyes when he heard the Fourth Raikage’s words. He didn’t expect a guy like the Fourth Raikage to give in so quickly.
Sensing the disdainful looks from Ōnoki and Rasa, the Fourth Raikage’s face turned even grimmer. He didn’t do this because he wanted to; Nagasawa was simply too strong to mess around with.
Nagasawa was treating them differently, releasing his pressure mainly on him rather than Ōnoki or Rasa.
As for how the Fourth Raikage knew, it was simple.
Setting Ōnoki aside as the Fourth Raikage had no idea which one was stronger between him and Ōnoki, the Fourth Raikage was certain that Rasa was not as strong as him. If Rasa seemed fine, why did he struggle to withstand the pressure? The only answer was that Nagasawa was mainly targeting him.
At this moment, the Fourth Raikage surprisingly decided to admit defeat. Nothing good had happened since his first encounter with Nagasawa. Since he knew he wouldn’t win against Nagasawa, then so be it.
If Nagasawa knew the Fourth Raikage’s thoughts at this moment, he might have mixed feelings. After all, forcing a Kage from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages to admit defeat was quite an achievement.
However, even if he knew, Nagasawa would still do the same.
