Naruto: I traveled through time with the Samsara Eye.

The Third Hokage recently went to see Orochimaru again, intending to appeal to his emotions and hoping that Orochimaru would make some contribution.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru won't listen. You can end my vacation if you want, and you can send me to the battlefield if you want, but don't try 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 for the battlefield as soon as possible.

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

Because he needs to get the materials.

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

Orochimaru didn't know yet that Shizuka was already working on the materials for the puppet.

It is estimated that by the time Orochimaru returns, Shizuichi will no longer be interested in puppets made from ninja corpses.

Orochimaru knew that Shizuka was doing research, but he didn't know what exactly he was researching.

Because his hands couldn't reach the Anbu.

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

That night, the work was finished.

Jingyi met an unexpected guest on her way home.

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

Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to invite.

"Okay." Why would you refuse if someone invites you to dinner?

If I refuse this meal, I'm afraid Hatake Sakumo will imagine all kinds of messy things.

Jingyi knew the reason why Hatake Sakumo invited him to dinner.

The place to eat was chosen to be the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant.

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

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

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

After I got home, rested for a while and calmed down, I realized something was wrong.

After asking someone, I felt disappointed.

This is not right.

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

Hatake Sakumo is a straightforward and honest man. In addition, Shizuichi saved his life on the battlefield in the Rain Country, and Hatake Sakumo has always remembered these favors.

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

"Senior, don't get excited."

Looking at Hatake Sakumo who wanted to explain but couldn't quite put it into words, Shizuichi waved his hands in a helpless manner:

"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. You deserve the warm welcome and support from the villagers."

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

The villagers will be influenced by public opinion and propaganda, but he will not, because 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 should know that he was chased by Hanzo of the Salamander on the battlefield of the Rain Country and almost collapsed on the battlefield. It was Jingyi 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 Senior killed the son and daughter-in-law of that old woman Chiyo, so it gave them a lot of publicity to push you to suppress me."

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

Is that so?

Hatake Sakumo's face looked a little conflicted. He still couldn't understand, was it really worth it to make such a fuss just for a puppet?

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

The result was a huge quarrel.

They also pulled him out and used him as a tool.

This made Hatake Sakumo feel helpless.

Fortunately, Jingyi did not hold a grudge against him or have any misunderstandings about him, which made him feel relieved.

This meal was not in vain.

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

Seeing that the meat was ready, 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 seems to be over puppets, but it actually started long before the war broke out."

I understood it, but not completely.

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

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

He has no problem going into battle and killing the enemy, but if he is asked to do these things, his brain will explode.

The conflicts and interests involved were so complicated that it gave him a headache just thinking 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, as you grow older, you will slowly adapt to them."

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

People like him are only suitable to find a backer and serve as a background wall, but they can't rely on anything else.

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

Although his son Kakashi also likes to nitpick, he is much more humane than Hatake Sakumo.

"hope so."

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

The two chatted about what happened on the battlefield.

Hatake Sakumo was eating barbecue while cursing:

"The people of the Sand Village are very cruel. Not only did they attack villages within the Land of Fire, they also killed people and caused all kinds of destruction. Even if they couldn't take away the looted materials and money, they would choose to burn them down."

During the period of encirclement and suppression of enemies in the Land of Fire, Hatake Sakumo witnessed too many tragedies.

During the battlefield in the Land of Rain, the Sand Village looted all the villages in the Land of Rain, taking away everything they could, without caring about the lives of the people in the Land of Rain.

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

Leave no chance of survival to the villages that were attacked.

"I have reported these things to the Hokage, and he promised that the village will retaliate."

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

Jingyi didn't have much hope for this.

At the beginning, the F4 group couldn't find a suitable target for revenge. Tsunade, who couldn't stand it any longer, proposed Shizuka's suggestion, but the other party was still hesitating.

The suggestion was made, but it was not adopted.

Tsunade was really angry.

"Maybe." Jingyi didn't really want to talk about this, so he decisively changed the subject.
