Hatake Satoru kept that spider just for fun, well, because those people were monitoring them so dutifully.
He had to leave a little gift.
He sat on the windowsill outside the Kazekage's building. The sky was starting to turn white, and the night was almost over.
Hatake Satoru thoughtfully turned his head. He didn't have the stamina of a ninja. Rest and sleep were still necessary for him.
After taking care of these guys, he needed to catch up on sleep.
The people inside the Kazekage's building looked tired, because Hatake Satoru's early return had disrupted many of their plans.
They didn't want to oppose Hatake Satoru, because they were still in a cooperative relationship.
They just wanted to take the opportunity to test if Hozuki Mangetsu had any problems, and to make Hatake Satoru behave a bit.
This person was clearly from Konoha, but he was interfering everywhere. Although Hatake Satoru did have merit in the Kazekage rescue, and deserved to be thanked.
But at the same time, there were also forces within the higher-ups who didn't support Gaara becoming Kazekage.
They always thought that Hatake Satoru and Hozuki Mangetsu, as 'outsiders', had too much influence on Sunagakure Village.
Although they made great contributions, they were also influencing the decision-making power of the higher-ups.
This made them quite uneasy, but they didn't dare to openly oppose Hatake Satoru.
So they wanted to do something secretly, but unexpectedly, Hatake Satoru caught them in the act.
They didn't get the information they wanted, and seeing the current situation, they had also offended Hatake Satoru. This was the worst possible outcome.
Several higher-ups whispered timidly in the room, while Gaara and Yamato went outside to get some air.
"The higher-ups are really troublesome. Don't they even respect you as the Kazekage?"
Yamato leaned on the window and couldn't help but sigh, turning his head to ask Gaara next to him.
Before, because Sasori and Hozuki Mangetsu were messing around with something, he often came here to negotiate and chat with the higher-ups. At that time, he realized that these old stubborn people in Sunagakure were really tiring.
But fortunately, they were just talking, telling Hatake Satoru to keep an eye on them.
Yamato listened to these things and forgot about them. If he told Hatake Satoru what the higher-ups said, that guy would definitely carry a banner and start a fight with them.
If he got angry or bored, they would really have to think carefully about the aftermath of killing the Sunagakure higher-ups.
"In this situation, they don't know what to do, so they can only use this method to stall for time."
"It's not that they don't respect me, it's that they can't clean up the mess."
Gaara glanced lightly at the room behind him. The people inside all looked worried, although they were still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, but once Hatake Satoru came over, these people would basically have no way out.
Moreover, they were the ones who made the first move. If Hatake Satoru was in a bad mood, he would really kill them all.
They also had a somewhat strained relationship with Gaara, and the village's strongest fighters wouldn't protect them.
These people might as well find a nice grave for themselves now and prepare to be buried.
"I don't understand what they want to do..."
Although Yamato didn't quite understand, Gaara knew a bit about his own family's mess.
Those people didn't really support him becoming Kazekage, and after he became Kazekage, they tried as much as possible to distance him from Hatake Satoru and Hozuki Mangetsu.
Gaara wasn't their first choice for Kazekage, but since he had already become one, there was nothing they could do.
The higher-ups could temporarily control some power to hold back the current Gaara.
But over time, some things would naturally be handed over to the Kazekage who had already taken office. During this time, they wanted to win Gaara over to their side.
Instead of Hatake Satoru.
These higher-ups see Hatake Satoru as a stumbling block to their power. Gaara becoming Kazekage was a turning point.
Before that, at most they thought Hatake Satoru was just an unreliable Konoha person who liked to do strange things.
And because this guy seemed to be quite strong, the higher-ups' attitude towards Hatake Satoru was basically to let him be for now. If they could avoid taking action against him, they wouldn't.
But after Gaara became Kazekage, these people realized that although Hatake Satoru didn't seem to do anything normally.
But in fact, he was always prepared and had secretly prepared everything. They had already begun to fall into a passive state.
And now that Hatake Satoru had caught them in the act, they were in an even more passive state.
They were in the wrong first, and they could have used force to suppress this situation.
After all, this was Sunagakure's territory. For ordinary people, this wasn't a problem at all. You should be more behaved in someone else's home.
But this person was Hatake Satoru, which was a bit troublesome.
Because there was a possibility that this kid was the biggest hidden danger in Sunagakure Village. They really couldn't find anyone who could beat Hatake Satoru wholeheartedly.
Big trouble.
"Are you two chatting here? I thought you would be inside~".
Just as Yamato and Gaara were chatting casually outside the window, a voice suddenly sounded through the window.
The two of them turned their heads and saw the sun rising slowly in the sky behind him.
Hatake Satoru was squatting outside the window wearing sunglasses, looking at the two of them with a grim face.
"You scared me to death...!"
Yamato turned his head and immediately took a step back. Hatake Satoru's sudden appearance startled him.
Backlighting, a grim face, suddenly appearing by the window, normal people would be scared into a heart attack.
If Hatake Satoru used this spirit to scare the old men and women in the room, he could probably send them away directly.
"Ugh..."
Gaara was also caught off guard and startled by his sudden appearance. The sand around him almost flew up to block him.
Hatake Satoru, who appeared and disappeared mysteriously wherever he went, was really challenging people's heartbeats.
But fortunately, although he was startled, Gaara still maintained a normal mentality. He quickly reacted and pulled open the window.
Hatake Satoru jumped in from the window. The lingering night wind rushed in with him, blowing his silver hair.
"I'm so sad, you two aren't afraid of the people inside, but you're afraid of me~?"
Hatake Satoru jumped down from the windowsill coolly, using a tone that disgusted them both.
"You're much more scary than the people in the room..."
Yamato couldn't help but whisper a complaint.
What exactly is Hatake Satoru's self-perception?
