- Last night -

Cee makes his way into the office of the Raikage, in which was illuminated by the ray of the moon through the horizontally round windows. 

" Lord A, I have an urgent report " said Cee, " speak Cee, give me the terrible news! " exclaimed A excitedly.

" It is terrible indeed, the cognitive soul bomb has been dealt with. And the nine tailed fox, has yet to rampage. Our spies say the fox flew away with Naruto and Sasuke " informed Cee.

A at Cee's words had every bit of excitement get sapped from his being.

" The Uchiha? How did he get involved, I thought my order was to unleash the cognitive soul bomb, when Naruto is alone, " " of course you did Lord A, and it was confirmed that Naruto San was alone at the time the attack happened. "

" So, how the hell did the Uchiha get involved. And what is all this about the fox flying away. Are the spies so incompetent, they can't distinguish between jumping and flying ", " I do not think any Shinobi is gullible enough to not know the difference. Boss. " said Darui.

A tilted his head to glare at Darui, causing Darui to refrain himself from saying more.

" Is this even a report, all I have is your words. Isn't there any visual evidence, wasn't our spies supposed to have had the whole situation recorded on those new scientific devices? " asked A

" The whole thing is stored in here, I brought it to satiate the curiosity that you were bound to develop at the report, " said Cee with a laptop held to his right side.

" Bring it over and show me! "

Cee hurried over to the Raikage, and placed the laptop on the table in front of A. Cee opens the laptop and the screen comes alive with a paused video displayed on it. Darui walks over to the Raikage, and stands at his right, whilst Cee plays the video and then went and stood on the fourth Raikage's left.

Before their eyes, they watched as the cloaked figure enters the Ichiraku ramen shop, and sits at Naruto's side. A furrows his brows.

" Who the heck is that? " He asks, " the sensor spies confirm this person to be Naruto san " said Cee.

A decided to believe and watched as the light of the fulmination, filled the screen. The scene changes, and the screen displays Naruto's action in confining the fulmination. With each passing clip of the video, A felt the urge to smash the laptop but tried his best to show restrain. Until the clip ended with Kurama flying off: losing his grip, A smashes his fists into the laptop continuously till the table collapsed as well. . .

" When I think about it, you're still overreacting. And I fear you might break something else " Darui says, " I think you should let it go now boss. With a failed attempt at setting the nine tails off, your plans are busted. "

" Apologies Lord A, but Darui is right. This was our only chance, we could not possibly attempt this again " said Cee.

A springs up, a startled Cee steps back slightly, whilst Darui just remained as he was unaffected by the Raikage's well known tantrums, which he was beginning to really get sick of.

" Do you think i'm just going to give up, never! " says A glaring at the two, " I think you should. There is no point in trying to discredit a man who has done nothing but good. We can't go around accusing people of evil intentions, just because you are paranoid– " as the words left Darui's mouth, he felt a punch connect with his gut.

The fourth Raikage's punch sends Darui flying into the wall of the office; Darui falls to the floor and though several seconds passed Darui made no attempt to get back up. Just sat there, and stared at the floor.
