Chapter 233: Kazekage Ninja- - 22: The Alliance of Wind and Thunder
"What!? He refuses to meet? Why? Has the Kazekage become so arrogant now?"
Danzo’s expression turned sour as he spoke.
"Danzo-sama, what are you saying? Kazekage-sama is simply too busy with official matters to make time right now," said Yamashita Tetsu, the head of Sunagakure’s Intelligence Department, politely.
"And what exactly is the Kazekage so busy with?" Danzo’s words were sharp, almost biting.
Hearing this, Yamashita Tetsu’s smile faded.
"It seems unnecessary for Kazekage-sama’s daily affairs to be reported to Konoha, doesn’t it?"
The implication was clear: Konoha was overstepping its bounds.
"I have no intention of interfering with Kazekage-sama’s affairs. However, my visit concerns an important matter of cooperation between Konoha and Sunagakure. This is not something that should be delayed," Danzo said, softening his tone slightly in response to Yamashita’s firm stance, though his words still carried an air of superiority.
"Danzo-sama, let me be frank with you. At this very moment, Kazekage-sama is meeting with the Third Raikage. Do you expect Kazekage-sama to abandon a meeting with another Kage to entertain a mere minister? Wouldn’t that be improper and disrespectful?" Yamashita Tetsu said with a hint of amusement.
Hearing this, Danzo fell silent, standing in place and contemplating the situation.
"When will I be able to meet Kazekage-sama?" Danzo finally asked after a long pause, his earlier domineering demeanor noticeably subdued.
