The Border of the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure’s Main Camp
"Father! Why are you here in person? Don’t you trust me to handle this? There’s so much to take care of back in the village!"
Tsukigami Kōichi stepped forward to support Third Raikage A, concern evident in his tone.
"There’s nothing major happening in the village right now. I’ve handed off the routine work to Burubi and Dodai. How’s the situation here? Are they behaving themselves?"
Third Raikage A brushed off Tsukigami Kōichi’s hand and pointed in the direction of Iwagakure as he asked.
"Behaving? Hardly. They’ve sent several waves of envoys, pestering us daily with questions like, ’Why have you mobilized your forces without cause?’ and ’What are your intentions?’ It’s been driving me insane."
"Hahaha! Looks like they’re getting anxious. Well, they should be. Come, let’s talk inside."
The Third Raikage laughed heartily, slinging an arm around Tsukigami Kōichi’s shoulder as they entered the tent.
"You all, wait outside. Guard the entrance. My son and I have things to discuss. No one is to enter under any circumstances!"
Third Raikage A waved off his guards with a commanding gesture.
"Take a look at this," he said, handing Tsukigami Kōichi a letter.
