Marashi smirked as he heard the samurai read the letter aloud. "Well I'm just going to say a few words. I find it funny how I'm here, talking to a republic that wants peace. Yet I see that y'all are forcing the republic onto a nation that does not want to be involved in the affairs of other nations. You all want to kill the hokage, that is obvious. So what? Are you going to send your people and just kill who ever gets in the way to find him? There are plenty of innocent people who are loyal to the village. I wonder what your citizens would think. Or are you going to hide the fact that you plan on murdering the innocent because of one man? Think of it as you wish, but we aren't the villain. You are all just tyrants, forcing your way of life upon one who doesn't seek it." Marashi had a dead look in his eyes. One look that seemed to be hostile but calm.
