On a lightly rainy evening, the Konoha camp located in the Northern Forest of the Land of Rain was filled with all kinds of discussions.
"Iwagakure will be in trouble this time!"
"That's right, when I retreated yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the guy named Huang Tu was so angry that he passed out! I think that batch of supplies is very important to them!"
"Wow! Really? It's a pity that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I would have gone with you to see..."
"How can this be false? You ask me to say that Lord Sakumo is really powerful. He broke into the enemy camp alone before and killed Iwagakure's seismic nuclear elite. Yesterday, he destroyed Iwagakure's valuable materials. I don't know why.
In my sleep, the balance of victory is already tilting towards us!"
As a ninja, no one would not admire the strong. Therefore, the camp was filled with praises for Hatake Sakumo, and even the continuous light rain could not stop their enthusiasm.
"I really hope the war will end soon..."
At this time, someone said this at an inappropriate time, causing everyone to be silent for a while. In a trance, they seemed to see their wife and children waiting for them at home.
"It will definitely end! However, I think Iwagakure is really stupid! The sneak attack failed and the supplies were destroyed. It is hopeless!"
"Who says it's not? Hahahaha!"
The older ninjas have rich experience. They know that the feeling of returning home can easily make ninjas tired, so they quickly changed the topic.
At the same time, in a room with a stove not far away, Uchiha Mitsuki and Hatake Sakumo were chatting wordlessly.
"Lord Jian Yue, you are finally back!"
It was obviously an ordinary greeting, but Uchiha Mitsuki felt particularly uncomfortable hearing it, especially when it was accompanied by all the discussions outside the room.
"Yeah, I've been working on it for a while. By the way, Brother Sakumo, if you give birth to a child, what are you going to name him?"
In order to avoid embarrassment, Uchiha Mitsuki talked nonsense in an attempt to change the topic.
What does it mean that I gave birth to a child?
Can you speak?
Hearing what Uchiha Mitsuki said, Hatake Sakumo felt uncomfortable.
"Not ready yet!"
"pity!"
There was unspeakable regret in Uchiha Mitsuki's tone.
"Lord Miyue, have you thought of any nice name?"
"The flag wood is fifty-fifty, how about it?"
Uchiha Mitsuki made a joke.
"...Any more?"
Hatake Sakumo felt that Uchiha Mitsuki was teasing him. Hatake was 50/50? What a bad name!
"...Hatake Kakadong?"
Uchiha Mitsuki said while suppressing a smile.
What the hell is Kakadong?
Kakashi is pretty much the same - a scarecrow in the field, not afraid of wind and rain, able to endure hardships, and still hardworking. Doesn't this name sound good?
"Wait a minute, I don't even have children, why are I thinking about this?"
After coming back to his senses, Hatake Sakumo rolled his eyes at the boy opposite him in a depressed tone, "Are you really a genius at chatting?"
Just talk nonsense? Chat hard?
After silently complaining in his heart, Hatake Sakumo said with a serious face: "Mizuki-sama, I have something to say."
"Say it, I'm listening!" Uchiha Mitsuki showed an expression of listening attentively.
"Mizuki-sama, I'll just say it straight." Upon seeing this, Hatake Sakumo thought about his words and slowly said: "You also know that there shouldn't be two voices in the military camp, so..."
"I understand, don't worry, I won't snatch the power from you."
——Because it belongs to me!
As the commander of an army, Uchiha Mitsuki was like the brains of the army, but now he has become a decoration that no one cares about. How could he not complain.
"This is the best, thank you, Lord Miyue!"
Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, although he occupies a political advantage at the moment, he has unlimited glory.
But he knows very well that these advantages are all fake and are things that have reached their peak.
But Uchiha Mitsuki is different. As a hawkish leader, there is an essential difference between him, a chess player forced out by the doves and under pressure.
In other words, the person who can fight against the boy should be a heavyweight like the Third Hokage. He is not qualified yet.
But one day in the future, he hopes to have a showdown with Uchiha Mitsuki!
"However, even if it is as a nominal commander, please allow me to participate in the decision-making of the army!" Uchiha Mitsuki looked at Hatake Sakumo with burning eyes. If you don't agree, we will break up.
posture!
"...Okay, this request is very reasonable."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Hatake Sakumo reluctantly agreed to Uchiha Mitsuki's request.
"Don't worry, I'm just making some suggestions. Whether you use them or not is your business." As he spoke, Uchiha Mitsuki stood up from his seat, came to the window, and looked out the window.
At this time, the torrential rain outside soaked the night, casting a layer of trance and confusion on the whole world.
"Although every move of the top management always affects the direction of the wind in Konoha, this is a battlefield. As the person in charge of the northern camp, even if it is only on the surface, I sincerely hope that I can bring my companions who have come to the Land of Rain,
Be safe and take none of them back!"
The boy's voice sounded extremely sincere, at least Hatake Sakumo believed it.
"Although this may be something that cannot be done, don't ninjas exist to create miracles? Therefore, for them, I am willing to temporarily put aside the discord between high-level officials and join hands with you to defeat Iwagakure.
End the northern battlefield!"
After saying this, Uchiha Mitsuki stretched out his right hand with a serious look on his face and looked at Hatake Sakumo.
Seeing that the man seemed to be thinking, Uchiha Mitsuki was not in a hurry, raised his hands, and waited patiently.
"Why, Brother Sakumo can't trust me?"
A few minutes passed, and seeing that Hatake Sakumo was still silent, Uchiha Mitsuki asked aloud: "Or, you can't trust yourself!"
"Jian Yue, I believe in your wisdom! I also believe in my strength."
——But I can’t believe your thoughts!
Although Hatake Sakumo only said half of what he said, Uchiha Mitsuki heard it clearly. After all, he still couldn't trust himself and was wary of him, but he was an adult after all. He thought too much and people
How can it be simple?
“So happy to work with you!”
“…pleased to work with you!”
Hatake Sakumo looked at the boy's right hand that had been raised in front of him, feeling helpless. For this reason, if he disagreed, it would be equivalent to offending Uchiha Mitsuki to death. This was obviously not worthwhile!
As one of the people who know Uchiha Mitsuki best, he naturally knows how powerful this childish boy in front of him is. In terms of clever methods and deep thoughts, no one in Konoha can match him!
Otherwise, why would the Hokage group defeat the Senju group a few years ago?
Why did the Hatake clan have to change their stance?
Or not, because this young man pried open the key door of life at the critical moment?
"Hokage-sama, Shikadai-sama, this is the good apprentice you have trained!"
Thinking of Nara Shikadai's instructions to him before departure, Hatake Sakumo had a headache.
[Just don’t offend him to death...if you suffer a small loss, he usually won’t argue with you.]
Listen, is this what a fellow faction member should say?
