The Third Hokage had approached Orochimaru not long ago, intending to appeal to his emotions and hoping that Orochimaru would make some contribution. Unfortunately, Orochimaru refused to listen to his words. He wanted me to end my vacation, and he wanted me to go to the battlefield, but he didn’t want to covet my experimental materials.

The Third Hokage was a little angry after failing to obtain the puppet again, so he urged Orochimaru to set off as soon as possible and go to the battlefield.

It just so happened that Orochimaru also had the idea of going to the battlefield.

Because he needed to get the materials.

The war had been going on for so long, and there must be a lot of enemy corpses piled up in the front-line camps, which were all top-quality materials for making puppets.

Orochimaru didn’t know that Shizuichi had already worked hard on the materials for the puppets. It was estimated that when Orochimaru came back, Shizuichi would no longer look down on the puppets made from ninja corpses.

Orochimaru knew that Shizuichi was doing research, but he didn’t know what he was researching specifically.

Because he couldn’t reach the Anbu.

With puppets guarding the house, not to mention Orochimaru, even the F4 group couldn’t reach the Anbu.

That night, the work was finished.

Shizuichi met an unexpected guest on the way home

“Do you have time? Let’s have a meal together.”

Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to invite

“Okay.” Why refuse when someone invites you to dinner?

If you refuse this meal, I’m afraid Hatake Sakumo will make up all kinds of messy things in your mind.

Jingyi knew the purpose of Hatake Sakumo inviting him to dinner.

The place for dinner was chosen to be the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan.

After the two sat down, they ordered a lot of things.

After the food was served, Hatake Sakumo put the marinated meat on the grill and showed an embarrassed smile:”Jingyi, I have always seen your contribution. To be honest, I can’t compare with you, but I don’t know why it turned out like this.”

Hatake Sakumo was very happy when he returned to the village.

After he rested and calmed down at home, he realized that something was wrong.

After asking someone, he was disappointed.

This was not right.

Why didn’t many people in the village mention Jingyi, whose contribution was greater than his, but everyone was talking about Hatake Sakumo instead. Hatake Sakumo was a straightforward and honest man, and Jingyi had saved his life on the battlefield of the Rain Country, so Hatake Sakumo always remembered this favor.

He hurried to Jingyi to eat, just to explain that all this had nothing to do with him.

“Senior, please don’t get excited.”

Looking at Hatake Sakumo who wanted to explain but couldn’t quite put it into words, Jingyi waved his hands with a smile:

“This matter really has nothing to do with you. It’s all the work of the Hokage’s office. I won’t take it to heart. Besides, you are the hero of the village, so you deserve the warm welcome and support from the villagers.”

“Compared to you, my contribution is nothing.” Hatake Sakumo smiled awkwardly.

The villagers would be influenced by public opinion and propaganda, but he would not. He knew very well how great the contribution of Shizuo was.

Not to mention the distant past, the contribution of beheading Hanzo of the Salamander was enough for him to admire him prostrating himself.

You know, he was chased all the way by Hanzo of the Salamander on the battlefield of the Rain Country, and he almost fell on the battlefield. It was Shizuo who treated him.

Skillfully turning the grilled meat over, Hatake Sakumo asked in confusion:”But Hokage-sama, why do you do this?”

“Because they failed to take the puppet from me, they don’t want my reputation to be too high. It just so happens that the senior killed the son and daughter-in-law of the old woman Chiyo, which gave them a lot of publicity to push you to suppress me.”

Jingyi took two sips of juice and said,”Come to think of it, the senior was also affected by me.”

Is that so?

Hatake Sakumo’s face was a little tangled. He still couldn’t figure it out. Is it really worth it to make such a fuss just for the puppet?

They are all from the same village. During the war, they should cooperate and contribute to the village.

As a result, they made a mess.

He was also pulled out and used as a tool.

This made Hatake Sakumo feel helpless.

Fortunately, Jingyi didn’t hate him or misunderstand him because of this, which made him feel relieved.

This meal was not in vain.

The more straightforward the person is, the more he values kindness. Jingyi saved Hatake Sakumo several times, and Hatake Sakumo will always remember these things.

Seeing that the meat was roasted, Jingyi didn’t hesitate to pick up a piece and started eating:

“Senior, you don’t need to worry about it, because these things have nothing to do with you or the Hatake clan. The conflict between me and the Hokage’s office, which seems to be for puppets, actually started long before the war broke out.”

I understood, but I didn’t understand it all.

It seems that I am not suitable to get involved in such things.

After thinking about it seriously, Hatake Sakumo could only smile bitterly and nod.

He has no problem fighting the enemy, but his brain will explode if he is asked to deal with these things. The conflicts and interests involved are too complicated, which makes his head hurt.

“As expected, I am only suitable for fighting and killing.”

Hatake Sakumo laughed at himself.

Jingyi was amused by Hatake Sakumo:

“Senior, this is called everyone has their own strengths, and some things, as you grow older, you will slowly adapt to them.”

Hatake Sakumo is a straightforward, honest man, but honest people may not be ignorant of how to manage their families and expand their political careers, but they are prone to falling into traps and being targeted.

He is only suitable to find a backer and be a background wall peacefully, and can’t be relied on for anything else. Hatake

Sakumo is the only Kage-level strongman in Konoha who can be forced to commit suicide by rumors.

Although his son Kakashi also likes to nitpick, he is much stronger than Hatake Sakumo in terms of humanity.

“I hope so.”

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and stopped talking about it. He ate the barbecue peacefully and the topic began to change.

The two chatted about the battlefield.

While eating the barbecue, Hatake Sakumo cursed:

“The people of the Sand Village were very cruel. Not only did they attack villages in the Land of Fire, they also killed people everywhere and caused all kinds of destruction. Even if they couldn’t take away the looted materials and money, they would choose to burn them.”

During the period of encirclement and suppression of the enemy in the Land of Fire, Hatake Sakumo saw too many tragedies happen.

When they were on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, the Sand Village looted the villages of the Land of Rain, taking away everything they could, regardless of the lives of the people in the Land of Rain.

When they arrived in the Land of Fire, because Konoha had set up an encirclement and knew that they couldn’t take away all the materials and property, the people of the Sand Village actually set fire to everything.

They left no way for the attacked villages to survive.

“I have reported these things to the Hokage, and the Hokage promised that the village would retaliate.”

The revenge has been going on for several months, but there has been no result.

Jingyi did not hold out much hope.

At first, the F4 group could not find a suitable target for revenge. Tsunade, who could not stand it, put forward Jingyi’s suggestion, but the other party was still hesitating.

The suggestion was put forward, but it was not adopted.

Tsunade was very angry.

“Maybe.” Jingyi didn’t really want to talk about this, so he decisively changed the subject.
