Even though the Anbu already said there were no special problems, Gaara still checked around in the sky just to be safe.
"It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that it feels weird that guy would come without a word."
Yamato bought a bunch of snacks here and there, then the two met up again at the sweets shop.
"I just feel like these things are happening too close together, and it feels strangely off."
Gaara frowned a bit. All sorts of things show that something bad seems like it's about to happen.
But no matter how they looked, there were no results.
It was like they were being hidden from by something, and they couldn't get any answers.
"It's really kind of weird..."
The two of them were silent for a while. With all these strange things happening, could Hatake Satoru be trying to trick them away with some kind of plan?
Those top people basically all have some skill, just like Chiyo.
While you can't say they're really strong, they have lots of experience, so normal people can't really do anything to them.
But if Hatake Satoru is sending them away, could he be wanting to fight those people?
"Probably not. Since he said it, it's better to trust him."
"After all, the teacher knows how important the top people of each country are better than we do."
Gaara touched his forehead. It's really not right to suspect his teacher like this.
But for some reason, they both can't help but think Hatake Satoru would do something extreme.
Sure enough, they've been influenced too much by that person's personality.
Meanwhile, sitting in a chair, Hatake Satoru yawned real big.
There's no one he cares about in this place, or rather, no one he respects.
He put his feet up on the table, leaning back lazily in his chair.
His chair is the one the Kazekage uses. Gaara used to sit up straight in it, discussing things with them.
Wow, Hatake Satoru was visibly rude as soon as he came in.
He didn't even say anything when he came in, just leaned back in the chair and stayed quiet.
Because he's wearing sunglasses, they don't even know if he fell asleep in the chair as soon as he came in, or if he's planning to argue with them for a while.
This chair is pretty comfy...
Hatake Satoru isn't thinking as much as those top people. After all, to other people, he's a threat, a dangerous person.
But he basically doesn't care about these people at all. If he can get along with them, he'll follow his promise to Gaara.
Take back the power and make these guys behave themselves.
If he can't get along with them, then he'll just send them off right there.
While sending them off right there is basically the worst option, it's still his backup plan.
But when are those two going to bring him his sweets? Sitting here doing nothing is really boring.
Hatake Satoru keeps glancing at the glass on the nearby door, wanting to see what's going on outside.
But he just sent those two away not long ago, so they probably won't be back anytime soon.
"So casual..."
"Rude kid."
A few people muttered quietly to each other, glancing at Hatake Satoru every now and then.
These top people didn't like Hatake Satoru much before, so naturally they won't say anything nice now.
Chiyo was one of the top people who supported Gaara back then, but after Chiyo retired, Hatake Satoru doesn't care to know about any weirdness going on among the top people.
They're just some old guys and old ladies, let them do whatever they want.
"Cough."
One of the top people sitting on the other side couldn't help but cough. Hatake Satoru's eyes behind his sunglasses moved slightly, and he looked over.
Everyone sitting there suddenly felt a sense of pressure.
Even though there are so many of them here, and they didn't feel this pressure even when the Kazekage was sitting there.
But it seems like Hatake Satoru just moved his eyes slightly and looked at them, and it put a lot of pressure on them.
Whether it's his posture or his attitude, there's just something indescribable about it.
The top people all took a deep breath secretly. They've always been the big shots, so how can someone come and be a big shot in front of them now? This feeling is really awkward.
"We're here to talk to the Kazekage, what are you doing here?"
Finally, someone couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke. ....
While it's not like they can't kick this guy out right now.
But for some reason, with this person standing here, they don't have the confidence to kick him out.
This person seems more suited to this kind of situation than they are, even though he's a young person with not much age or experience.
"Huh? Kazekage?"
Hatake Satoru seemed to suddenly perk up, shaking his head from side to side and looking around curiously.
As if he heard some unbelievable question.
His voice was light and teasing, with a hint of sarcasm. After looking around in a fake way, he leaned back in the chair again.
He said in a drawn-out voice.
"Eh-- why look for him?"
"Honestly, it doesn't really matter if that person is here or not, right?"
"Anyway, he can't make any important decisions. Whether he's sitting here or I'm sitting here, it doesn't really matter, does it?"
Hatake Satoru smiled sarcastically.
Whether it's the Kazekage or a normal person, isn't the result the same if they sit here?
In the end, aren't these top people the ones who really make the decisions? So it doesn't matter who's here.
The faces of the top people sitting behind the table turned green and white, and they all awkwardly pursed their lips.
This kid's words are really harsh and unforgiving.
Even if other people saw this, they wouldn't necessarily say it so bluntly, right?
This kid actually said these words so rudely right in front of them.
"What are you talking about? The Kazekage is the village leader, of course he has the power to make decisions. We're just giving him suitable suggestions for his reference."
"In the end, you're not even from Sunagakure. This is our village's private matter."
"Konoha definitely doesn't want you to get involved, right? This involves the relationship between allies."
As long as they exaggerate things a bit and turn the matter between people into a matter between villages, they should be able to suppress Hatake Satoru.
Saying "suppress" is also like just getting this person to stop asking about this matter.
