Chapter 154 Hatake Sakumo: I Understand, but I Don’t Fully Understand

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 soft and hard words. He wanted me to end my vacation, and he wanted me to go to the battlefield, but you should not try to get 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 high-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.

Because he couldn't reach the Anbu.

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

That night, work was finished.

Jingyi met an unexpected guest on the way home.

"Do you have time? Let's have dinner together."

Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to invite.

"Okay." Why refuse someone's invitation to dinner?

If he refused this meal, Hatake Sakumo would probably make up a lot of messy things.

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 everything was served, Hatake Sakumo put the marinated meat on the grill and smiled embarrassedly: "Jingyi, I have always seen your contribution. To be honest, I can't compare with you, but I don't know why it has become like this."

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

After returning home to rest for a while and calming down, he realized that something was wrong.

After asking someone about it, his heart was half cold.

This is not right.

Why is it that Jingyi's contribution is greater than his, but not many people in the village mention him, but everyone is talking about Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo is a straightforward and honest man, and Jingyi saved his life on the battlefield of the Rain Country, and Hatake Sakumo has always remembered these favors.

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

"Senior, don't get excited."

Looking at Hatake Sakumo who wanted to explain but couldn't explain it clearly, Jingyi waved his hands with a smile:

"This matter really has nothing to do with you, it's all the means of the Hokage's office, and I won't take it to heart. Besides, the senior is originally a hero of the village, and it is right to be warmly welcomed and supported by the villagers."

"Compared with you, my contribution is nothing." Hatake Sakumo smiled embarrassedly.

The villagers will be affected by public opinion and propaganda, but he will not, he knows very well how great Jingyi's contribution is.

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

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

Skillfully turning the barbecue over, Hatake Sakumo asked puzzledly: "But Lord Hokage, why do you do this?"

"Because they couldn't take the puppet from me, they don't want my reputation to be too high. It happened that the senior killed the son and daughter-in-law of the old woman Chiyo, so they gave them a lot of publicity to push you to suppress me."

Jingyi took two sips of the juice and said with a sigh: "Speaking of which, 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?

We are all people from the same village. During the war, we should cooperate and work together for the village.

The result was a mess.

He was also pulled out and used as a tool.

This made Hatake Sakumo feel helpless.

Fortunately, Jingyi did not hate him or misunderstand him, which made him feel relieved.

This meal was not in vain.

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

Seeing that the meat was roasted, Jingyi was not polite and picked up a piece and started eating:

"Senior, in fact, you don't need to worry, because these things originally have nothing to do with you and the Hatake clan. The conflict between me and the Hokage Office seems to be for puppets, but in fact it started long before the war broke out."

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

It seems that I am not suitable to get involved in this kind of thing.

After thinking carefully, Hatake Sakumo could only smile and nod.

He has no problem letting him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but if he is asked to toss these things, his brain will explode.

The conflicts and interests involved are too complicated, which makes him think about it.

"Sure enough, 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 will gradually adapt as you grow older."

Hatake Sakumo is a straightforward and honest man, but honest people may not be ignorant of managing the family and expanding the political path, but they are prone to falling into traps and being targeted.

He is only suitable to find a backer and be a background wall at ease, and can't rely on others.

In the entire Konoha, only Hatake Sakumo is the only Kage-level strongman who can be forced to commit suicide by rumors.

Although his son Kakashi also likes to get stuck in a rut, 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 barbecue at ease and began to change the topic.

The two talked about the battlefield.

Hatake Sakumo ate barbecue while cursing:

"The people of the Sand Village are very cruel. They not only attacked the villages in the Land of Fire, but 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 encirclement and suppression of the enemy in the Land of Fire, Hatake Sakumo saw too many tragedies.

When on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, the Sand Village looted the villages of the Land of Rain and took away everything they could, regardless of the life and death of the natives of the Land of Rain.

When they arrived at the Land of Fire, because Konoha had set up a siege, they knew they couldn't take all the supplies and property away, so the people of the Sand Village actually set fire to everything.

They left no chance for the attacked villages to survive.

"I have reported these things to the Hokage-sama, and the Hokage-sama promised that the village would retaliate."

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

Jingyi didn't have much hope for this.

At first, the F4 group couldn't find a suitable target for revenge, and Tsunade, who couldn't 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.
