"This... something must be happening."
A Sunagakure ninja agreed, while timidly looking at the head on Hatake Satoru's desk.
So scary!? That thing looks just like a living person's head!?
"Yeah, yeah~ I know."
Hatake Satoru stood up from the chair, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out the door.
Hatake Satoru lowered his eyes slightly and opened the system panel in his mind.
The light blue panel unfolded in front of him, with scattered white text displayed.
[Playing the role of Gojo Satoru]
[Similarity 91%]
[Skills acquired: Six Eyes, Limitless, Red, Blue, Purple, Cursed Words, Unlimited Void.]
[Special skill with high similarity: Divine Smithing.]
[Please continue to increase the similarity of the template to obtain more rewards.]
It's already 91%, it looks like this template is almost at its peak.
I'm a bit looking forward to the rewards and other panels that will open when it reaches 100%.
Hatake Satoru raised his eyebrows, then focused his attention on the special skill.
That's the only skill that's different from all the others, it's not a skill that belongs to Gojo Satoru from "Jujutsu Kaisen."
So it's especially set apart.
In simple terms, this skill allows you to create various cursed tools.
You don't need to practice a lot like with some other skills to increase your proficiency and use them better.
Instead, you get it fully leveled, and you can maximize its effectiveness by exploring it yourself.
Hatake Satoru felt a little bored after using that skill to make cursed tools for a few days.
To be honest, he's pretty much used to his own attack style, although having a weapon isn't bad.
After all, beating people up with your bare hands to the point where they can't get up is very damaging and insulting.
But essentially, it doesn't really matter to him whether he uses cursed tools or not.
Hatake Satoru turned around and started researching what else he could do with this skill.
Then Hatake Satoru discovered something even more interesting.
That is puppets.
The raw material for making puppets is wood. Besides being used as a tool for planting trees, Yamato also creates various kinds of wood for Hatake Satoru to practice making puppets.
Hatake Satoru's puppets are basically indistinguishable from living people. Most importantly, Hatake Satoru's puppets are not affected by the wind and sand of the Sunagakure.
If he hadn't made the puppets' movements a little stiff on purpose so that others could tell them apart, it would have been almost impossible for anyone to tell the difference.
This thing is as convenient as a robot, saving Hatake Satoru a lot of trouble.
Hatake Satoru raised his eyes slightly and then closed the system panel in his mind.
"Yo~ Is it too much to always have puppets take notes for me? So you personally asked me to come~"
Hatake Satoru opened the door and poked his head in.
A frivolous, casual tone, and a personality that's a few minutes late and doesn't follow the rules.
Even if the people sitting around the table didn't turn their heads, they would know who was outside the door.
Before, Hatake Satoru would have puppets take meeting notes for him. Of course, for those unimportant talks, even if the puppets recorded them and brought them back to him.
Hatake Satoru would basically burn or throw away the notes the next day.
"We heard some bad rumors, so we wanted to ask you to come and discuss them."
Maki said with a slightly respectful tone.
The people around the table had different expressions. Some were not interested, while others clearly showed some hostility.
Gaara sat at the end of the table, silently looking up from the documents and calmly looking at Hatake Satoru.
Maki had previously gone against the crowd and supported Gaara as Kazekage.
Hatake Satoru also openly and secretly increased Gaara's popularity and prestige, and was also in the faction that supported him as Kazekage.
Plus, Hatake Satoru helped them a lot in the Orochimaru incident before, solving some problems in advance.
So Maki is even more respectful to him.
However, although people like Maki have a good impression of Hatake Satoru, some Sunagakure executives still classify Hatake Satoru as being on the Konoha side.
They are somewhat doubtful of him and feel that he cannot be trusted.
But no matter who it is, no matter what they think, Hatake Satoru is completely too lazy to care.
Leave me alone and you can think whatever you want.
"Tell me about it~ Maybe I'll know."
Hatake Satoru lightly pulled out a chair, leaned back lazily, and casually flipped through the documents on the table.
"Have you heard of Akatsuki, this organization?"
"The ninjas in it are all extremely vicious S-rank wanted rogue ninjas."
"Konoha's Uchiha Itachi, Kirigakure's Hoshigaki Kisame, and Orochimaru, who previously killed the previous Kazekage-sama, also belonged to that organization."
These three people are already notorious examples. Basically, most of the Sunagakure is not unfamiliar with these names.
One person alone is already troublesome enough, but now the three known people have actually gotten together.
It's simply a multiple increase in attack power.
"Ah~ I know about this matter."
"Each of them has the ability to destroy a small country. It's best to be more vigilant~"
"Have they already started preparing to take action recently..."
Hatake Satoru nodded thoughtfully, then focused his attention on Gaara, who was not saying a word directly opposite him.
Gaara should also know a little bit, but he doesn't quite know what to do yet.
"Yes, Kazekage-sama has already told us to be on high alert in the surrounding areas, and to be wary of people wearing black coats with red clouds."
"The manpower that can be deployed around has all been deployed. Jonin and Anbu have been arranged outside and inside the village."
Originally, Maki was quite confident that he could stop the Akatsuki people, but thinking about the information, a bunch of elite Anbu Jonin.
It's still a bit difficult to resist the attacks of such a group of monsters.
"Hopefully we can stop them..."
Maki responded.
They always do these kinds of problematic things during the Chunin Exams. It's often like this.
"Our source of information is one of the three Sannin, Jiraiya-sama."
"However, we still don't understand their actual purpose and don't have any clear means of prevention."
Akatsuki's target is definitely Gaara. They need the tailed beast and need to deal with the Jinchuriki.
If they start to move, not only the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sunagakure, but also the Three-Tails in Kirigakure that is being held in the lake must be watched carefully.
It would be appropriate to send some messages to Shisui later.
"... Continue with the external defense as usual. Well~ let's focus on protecting Gaara these few days."
"After all, something always happens to your Kazekage.".
