Instead of answering, Nara dropped his head on the table.
- He doesn't look like he's kidding," Inoda glared at his friend, panting.
- Yeah, you'd expect that from Ryo, but not from Shikaku," Chouji shook his head. - What are you going to do?
- Considering that Shikaku is seriously going to keep the kunoichi as a prey and doesn't even want to hear about the reward, we'll have to register it as a clan fighter's prey," the lazy man sighed heavily, "of course, after a little interrogation, will you help? - he turned to Yamanaka.
- What are we talking about! - The head of the Torture and Interrogation Department shrugged his shoulders. - I'll try to do it quietly and quickly.
- Is she pretty? - Akamichi stepped forward with interest.
- Very! She's as beautiful as our top beauties, so I understand my son's decision. I wouldn't have been able to resist if I'd been single," Shenesu raised his head, smirking.
- Where is she from?
- Ishigakure no sato.

- And we'll have the Iryo-nin even more fucked up than before! - Nara predicted gloomily.
- It all depends on who takes Hyuga's place," Yamanaka shrugged, 'but given the general trend, Ryo's idea of a personal hospital with iryo-nin outside the Hokage's and the officials' control was a good idea.
- It should have been done a long time ago, because the situation is getting worse from year to year, and no one is doing anything about it," the fat man grumbled, making himself comfortable in his chair and folding his arms on his bulky belly, "but it would take serious money and effort, and no one wants to do it for the sake of others.
- The payoff from Hiruzen should cover all the basic costs of maintaining and training the children, and Ryo himself has invested a lot," Nara nodded, "so in six or seven years we'll see visible results.
