"It's April," Tsunade stated, her hazel eyes narrowed with impatience and irritation.

Unlike the persistent chill in the office, being the sole focus of the Hokage's dangerous mood made Harry shiver. Harry nodded even though he didn't want to and said, "It is."

"A spring month when the weather gets comfortable," Tsunade said. “Not too warm or cold or wet. A good month to be outdoors. Don't you agree?”

Harry nodded cautiously. "Yes?"

Tsunade leaned forward, a dangerous gleam in her eyes. "Then, why are we having snow in April?"

"The weather can be unpredictable..."

Tsunade scoffed. "Shikaku told me about your tree decorating in December!"

"That was a joke to mess with him," Harry protested.

"Konoha has never had snow like this before," Tsunade said, the accusation clear in her voice.

"Do you really think that I've manipulated the weather?" Harry asked with disbelief.

"I don't know. But I want it fixed," Tsunade warned him as she sipped on her steaming cup of tea.
