Chapter 90: There is no puppet, and cooperation is even more impossible

Just as Chiyo expected, Konoha's offensive did slow down, and the garrison area was constantly moving backwards.

The elite troops were wiped out in one wave, and three strong men almost died on the battlefield. This was like a blow to Konoha, and many of Nara Shikashin's arrangements were affected.

When forced to do so, the only option is to retreat and defend.

Minimize large-scale conflicts with the enemy as much as possible.

Wait for support from the village before making any plans.

After a deep sleep, Jingyi yawned, took the scroll from under the feet of the crow puppet, patted the puppet's head and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back now."

"Cuck!"

After receiving the reward from its master, the crow puppet flew up into the night sky, entered the rain curtain, and soon disappeared.

Jing lit a candle, poured a glass of water and spread out the scroll on the table.

When he saw the contents of the scroll, the water that had just entered his mouth sprayed out several meters away.

"It's a big deal... I don't even care about my dignity anymore."

Jingyi couldn't understand how the Third Hokage had the nerve to say that everything was for the village.

He was actually asked to contribute the puppet unconditionally.

Tsk!

This wave of face-selling is a bit too much.

Jingyi thought that the village would cooperate with him to make puppets, and he also thought about sending a batch of parts over so that he could control these parts.

The only thing I didn't expect was that I would be taken advantage of for free.

"Fuck you."

We were originally planning to collaborate, but now it seems that it is totally unnecessary.

After cursing a few words, Jingyi threw the scroll into the brazier, completely giving up the idea of ​​cooperating with the village.

You want to get it for free, right?

I won’t play with you anymore.

Jingyi decisively put the matter behind him. He felt that there was no need to ruin his good mood for a few shameless people.

Instead of getting angry about such things, it is better to make yourself something delicious and replenish your body.

As luck would have it, the guests arrived just as dinner was ready.

After opening the door and smelling the fragrance filling the lounge, Nara Shikashin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that Jingyi was better at cooking than the people of the Akimichi clan.

There's always something new to come up with.

"Senior, have you eaten?"

"eat......."

Nara Shikaxin paused, then changed his words decisively: "Not yet, it's a good opportunity to have a meal with you."

Jingyi: “….”

Please say this with your conscience.

It would be more lively if there were more people eating together, and Jingyi didn't mind Nara Shikahin deliberately eating for free.

We are all on the same front, so it is only right that we get to know each other more often and build closer relationships.

Nara Luxin took a few bites of the bacon stewed rice and showed a satisfied look. While eating, he suddenly said:

"The village leaders rejected my request for materials and parts. They...sigh."

Why so short-sighted?

Nara Shikako was too embarrassed to say this out loud.

"You hope I can contribute my puppet, right?"

Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

Nara Shikashin nodded awkwardly. Fortunately, he was just a messenger and he was in the same group as Jingyi, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to say this.

There was no choice. The village's order had come, and I had to finish what I said even if it was embarrassing.

"No, not one. I'm just a medical ninja. Don't ask me for combat matters."

Jingyi refused decisively.

There is no room for negotiation.

Now, let alone contributing puppets, even if the F4 group changed their minds and mobilized a batch of materials and parts, Jingyi would not be happy for everyone to cooperate in making the puppet.

I gave you opportunities, but you didn't cherish them.

If you don't cherish me, why are you looking for me?

"Cough cough!!"

Jingyi refused so decisively that Nara Shikashin couldn't help but cough.

"Can we discuss this?"

"No, please pass my original words back to the Hokage. I originally planned to cooperate with the village to make puppets together. Now I have changed my mind. Without puppets, cooperation is even more impossible."

This incident has completely blocked the road.

Nara Shikaxin cursed a few words in his heart. He was not cursing Jingyi, but those people who wanted to get something for free.

Isn't it good to cooperate well?

Why do you want to get something for free just by licking someone's face?

Why don't you contribute all the family wealth?

The face is gone.

Nara Shikashin didn't say anything else, and ate his meal quietly. After finishing a bowl of stewed rice, he stood up:

"The elite troops we formed earlier have been destroyed. The pressure on the village is quite high. I won't disturb your rest."

"Well, take care, senior."

Jingyi's attitude was not very good. Of course, the bad attitude was directed at those who wanted to get something for free, not at Nara Shikashin.

Nara Shikako is in the same group with him, but at this time Nara Shikako is talking to him on behalf of the F4 group, so Jingyi has such an attitude.

No matter how reluctant he was, Nara Shikashin had no choice but to report the truth.

"Orochimaru, is there any need to hide? Senior will surely have spotted you."

The people who came to see Jingyi were not only Nara Shikashin, but also Orochimaru, but Nara Shikashin arrived first.

"It seems that my lurking ability needs to be strengthened."

After being exposed by Jingyi's words, Orochimaru pushed open the door and walked in calmly.

Sitting in the seat where Nara Shikashin had just sat, Orochimaru crossed his arms over his chest and said regretfully: "It seems that our cooperation is coming to an end."

"I don't want to either, but some people are too greedy and don't even care about their dignity."

Shizuichi continued to eat his meal without even looking up as he reminded Orochimaru.

"I hope my puppet won't end up in the hands of a third person."

"of course."

Jingyi simply and decisively rejected the Third Hokage. Orochimaru would not hand over the puppets in his hands. He still needed these puppets for research, and he didn't want to offend Jingyi for this matter.

Want a puppet?

Go find Jing, don’t look for me.

The collaboration that was originally about to begin was terminated due to the greed of the F4 group.

After Orochimaru expressed his attitude, he left quickly.

In the Hokage's office, the atmosphere was so low it was a little scary.

The Third Hokage smoked in silence, Mito Kado En's face looked a little ugly, and as for Utane Koharu...she was furious.

To be precise, the scroll sent by Nara Shikashin exploded when it arrived at the village.

"What does he mean? Doesn't he know that the village really needs these puppets? As a member of the village, he should contribute the puppets."

"What do you mean by none? He even boasted that he would not cooperate with the village. What on earth does Hyuga Shizuka want to do?"

Koharu Utane was like an angry old hen, chattering non-stop with her mouth.

Since becoming the representative of the village elders, Utane Koharu hasn't been so angry for a long time. Even when she was scolded by Tsunade, the anger she felt was not as great as when she was rejected by Shizue.

Tsunade often confronts her and doesn't give her face.

But in Utane Koharu's opinion, Tsunade is on the same level as them, on the same level, and they are both from the Hokage faction, so it is normal for them to have some conflicts with each other.

You can deal with it slowly behind closed doors.

Therefore, although Utane Koharu was angry when she was scolded by Tsunade, she would not be so angry.

But Shizuka is different. Putting aside Tsunade's support, Shizuka is just a low-level ninja for the F4 group, and he is also a low-level ninja who is ostracized by his family and suffers from blood degeneration.
