Chapter 319 Dreams Are Possible, but Reality Is Cruel
Before Hatake Sakumo spoke, Jingyi continued:
"This dress is nice, very elegant."
Hatake Sakumo: "........."
Not bad, I already regret wearing it, and no matter how good the temperament of the Hokage half-sleeves is, can it be more handsome than your Hokage battle robe?
"I want to talk to you about something. I'm quite idle recently and have nothing to do."
Since Hatake Sakumo put on the Hokage half-sleeves, he has been put on ice by the village.
There is no place for him in various important tasks, and it is even more impossible to send him to the war.
The Third Hokage and others have not summoned him for a long time.
Hatake Sakumo, who has nothing to do, can only stay at home and practice hard. During this period, he also married a wife and tried to make a baby.
"Then find a place to talk slowly and eat something by the way."
After spending a few hours in the Hokage's office, Jingyi was really a little hungry.
The two hit it off and found a tavern that was not closed yet.
After ordering two side dishes, Hatake Sakumo, who was full of sorrow, drank several glasses of wine in a row.
Tsk!
Looking at Hatake Sakumo, whose face turned red after a few glasses of wine, Jingyi could only sigh and express his admiration.
He was not good at drinking, but he drank like this, and he was not afraid of getting himself confused.
Speaking of drinking, Jingyi thought of Jiraiya. Jiraiya, this bastard, was really desperate to carry out the mission.
He took Naoki and Xiao Huangmao out a few years ago. After returning from the mission after a long time, he didn't even have time to rest and set off again immediately.
I really don't know if it was the Third Hokage who forced him, or he forced himself.
Maybe Jiraiya felt embarrassed because he had been away from the village for too long, so he wanted to use this method to make up for his inner guilt.
He didn't care, but Naoki and Xiao Huangmao followed him, which was a big sin.
"Bang!!!"
Putting down the wine glass heavily, Hatake Sakumo, whose breath smelled of alcohol, smiled bitterly: "Jingyi, do you think I was wrong? I began to regret wearing this dress. I can feel that many people began to stay away from me. The Hokage-sama is even unwilling to summon me or use me."
"Is it because of a piece of clothing?"
Hatake Sakumo's heart was full of bitterness. He had made many contributions to the village. He dare not say that he could compare with Jingyi, at least ordinary people could not compare with him.
But after wearing a Hokage half-sleeve, everything changed.
"Senior, the clothes are not the point, the point is your attitude."
Hatake Sakumo was probably depressed for a while, otherwise he would not have complained to him at this time.
"Attitude? What attitude? Isn't the dress a reward from the Daimyo Mansion? Should I refuse it?"
No wonder you were forced to death by the old man Shimura Danzo with public opinion. You really don't use your brain at all.
In addition to training and improving strength, your other abilities are blank?
Jingyi didn't know what to say.
"Rewards are rewards, but don't forget that we are Konoha people. No matter how good the things given by the Daimyo Mansion are, they can't change our identity."
After taking a sip of wine slowly, Jingyi frowned for a moment. This stuff is really hard to drink.
If he can choose, he would rather have a glass of happy water.
"What do you mean?"
Hatake Sakumo didn't understand.
Jingyi had to make it clear:
"The Daimyo has always wanted to use various means to strengthen his influence in the village. Doing so actually violates the order of getting along between the Daimyo Mansion and the village.
No matter who it is, no one wants the Daimyo to sit on their heads and make decisions."
"Secondly, you want to be Hokage. This is the bottom line of the person in the Hokage's office. You stepped on the senior."
"........."
I stepped on the mine of the Hokage?
I'm afraid that the matter of the Daimyo Mansion is nothing. The real scary thing is stepping on the mine.
Hatake Sakumo's mind seemed to be struck by thunder, and the whole person stood there.
"But, but............"
Sweat broke out on Hatake Sakumo's forehead. He was anxious and a little incoherent:
"But isn't being a Hokage the dream of many young ninjas? Just because of a piece of clothing, does that deny me everything?"
Poor unlucky guy.
Jingyi felt that he should first break Hatake Sakumo's dream of being a Hokage.
"Senior, dreams are dreams, and reality is reality. Haven't you heard?
Dreams are full, but reality is skinny. It's good to have dreams, but the person in the Hokage's office must be willing to give in."
Pulling the Hokage robe on his body, Jingyi said:
"You can't wait to put on the Hokage half-sleeves, but I put on the Hokage robe, but the results are different. What is the root cause?"
"........"
The root cause?
Hatake Sakumo racked his brains to think.
What is the root cause?
"Is it because of your great contribution and your stronger strength?"
"Puff~~~~"
Stop, don't say it, you said that I want to hammer you to death.
The sake in Jingyi's mouth sprayed out directly, and the somewhat numb Hatake Sakumo didn't dodge and was sprayed in the face.
But he didn't care about these at the moment.
Wiping the sake from the corner of his mouth, Jingyi laughed in anger, and could only slap the table and say to Hatake Sakumo:
"The fundamental reason is that our Hokage knows that I am not interested in his position, and he doesn't need to guard against me at all, and Tsunade is here."
"Let's not talk about Tsunade being a candidate for Hokage. Even if the candidate is not confirmed, anyone who wants to become Hokage cannot avoid Tsunade."
"Not to mention you, senior, even Orochimaru and Jiraiya are the same."
"So senior, wake up, don't mention dreams anymore, it's unrealistic."
"On the contrary, it will bring trouble to you, your family, and even your children."
Hatake Sakumo, who was originally a little emotional, completely calmed down, and didn't drink the wine. He just sat in the chair blankly, and the pupils of his eyes seemed to be empty.
Will he be hit?
It shouldn't be that bad. It's just a few truths, which can't be compared with the public opinion attack of Shimura Danzo.
The dishes were served.
Jingyi ate quietly, and Hatake Sakumo was still the same.
Until Jingyi finished eating, he was still distracted.
Maybe the broken dream since childhood had a big impact on him.
Fortunately, the impact was big, which was better than being targeted by the top leaders.
For other things, the Third Hokage and others may let you go, but if you want to be the Hokage, then I'm sorry, I will target you.
After eating and drinking, Jingyi stood up and patted Hatake Sakumo's shoulder, put the money on the table and left.
As for how long it will take Hatake Sakumo to face himself and recover, it depends on him.
Such a stubborn person can't be persuaded at all.
You can only think about it yourself.
Hatake Sakumo is like this, and so is his future son Hatake Kakashi.
In order to make Hatake Kakashi face himself, the Third Hokage has spent a lot of effort.
Although he did it with a purpose, it can at least be regarded as a credit.
It's ridiculous to say that Konoha, which is full of talents, has fallen to the point of needing a ninja like Kakashi to be a face. It has to be said that this is the sadness of Konoha and the incompetence of the Third Hokage.
