"Don't you understand the urgency of the matter, sir?!" a man with hair the color of snow shouted, his irritation apparent in the way his brow crinkled and the way his entire face was red.

The CEO did nothing but cracked a smile, "I just don't see what is going on right now. You came in, Hatake-sama, and just started yelling at me with no reason at all."

"The values of your creations are falling as we speak," The angered man said harshly before pushing a packet forward. "If you don't find a company to buy these soon, we will be arguing with bankruptcy."

The blonde CEO only leaned over and looked, the numbers rather jumbled in graphs that he could not understand.

"It looks like a whole bunch of gibberish to me," the man sat back, pushing the documents back to his friend.

"Minato!" Hatake-sama suddenly shouted.

The man only sighed, adjusting his black tie, "Instead of yelling at me like some deranged maniac, is there anything we can do? Anything at all that we must do in order to save my business, Kakashi."

Kakashi slowly sat down in front of his boss and longtime teacher, sliding the packet towards him, "Your inventions have helped so many hospitals, however, they are always looking for further advancements. So unless you can crack out a new biomedical machine, I would have to say that you are facing bankruptcy within the next few months."

The words were meant to scare his CEO. Kakashi half expected Minato to panic and pull out a book to begin doing what he does best. However, he knows that his friend hasn't put pen to paper for years now. Ever since his son was born and he's been doing his best to be the father the boy can look up to.

"Are there no longer any willing buyers?" Minato suddenly narrowed his blue eyes, casting it off into the opposite corner of his office.

Kakashi sighed, "All our buyers are slowly backing out. They would much rather have foreign machines from the West rather than what we make here in Japan."

"So you're telling me there is no other way?" the CEO's brilliant blue eyes turned back to the accountant.

"There is one way," the man said, dropping one file and grabbing a tan portfolio he had ready at his feet. "Here you go, sir."

Minato quickly took the file, opening it to read the contents on the inside. As his eyes scanned through each word, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew that his plan proposal goes against everything his friend stood for.

But if his friend really wanted to save this company, he might actually consider this as their savior.

Just like that, the blonde man looked up at the silver-haired man, "Kakashi, you know how I feel about matters such as this."

Immediately, the manager stood up, "I do but let me explain, please."

Minato barely rose an eyebrow.

"The Hyuga hospital chain is one of the largest and most powerful there is in the world. They are always looking for the best of the best and are willing to pay however much it is to lay their hands on what is up-to-date," Kakashi continued. "Look, I know that you were partnered with the Uchiha hospital chain which are the Hyuga's biggest rivals but they kicked you under the rug when they were able to seal a partnership with the Haruno Corporation by doing what you should do in this file."

"A family partnership," reaching over, Kakashi gently pressed his fingers at the tip of the portfolio, "Marry your son to their daughter."

"I refuse," Minato immediately shut the folder. "You know I stand behind the idea that Naruto is given the option of choosing a bride."
