I'm so glad you believe that. It only means marashi is doing his part rather well. Marashi killed a leaf shinobi and took his gear. Now he is here acting as the hokage's rep but really marashi couldn't care less about all of it. He just wants information and that is exactly what he is getting. Why do you think he is insulting you all? He doesn't care about the relations between konoha and the republic. Heck, y'all go to war and that just makes his plan easier.
