Although he had no tea to give his guests, he would soon come through. With a variety of herbs and hot water, the sage soon had a boiling pot of what would soon be green tea, “Itachi-kun, how can you be so reckless? You need rest and relaxation. Please calm down and wait patiently for your entrée.”
