"Don't be so pessimistic. The situation is still under control. If even you are sacrificed, even if Konoha wins this war, it will only be a miserable victory."
Regarding Sakumo's words, which seemed to be about the aftermath, Chen was silent for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"I just mentioned it." Sakumo smiled freely, and then changed the topic. "However, I am quite worried about Kakashi."
"Kakashi What's wrong? He has been working hard following your example."
"Kakashi is just confused by the halo of heroes. What he respects is not an ordinary father, but the hero Konoha."
"This halo-like thing cannot be said to be a bad thing, but it is definitely not a good thing. For Konoha, creating a hero-like character during war can improve morale and enhance the cohesion of Konoha Ninja."
"But for Kakashi, his father is Konoha's hero. This easily gives him an inflated and inexplicable sense of mission. This is definitely not a good thing for his growth." Sakumo said softly.
"It would be okay if I keep doing this until the war is won, but if one day, the heroic figure that Kakashi is looking up at falls down, I really don't know what he will look like." Sakumo sighed.
Kakashi, who is now on the Ninja Academy, has shown amazing talent at such a young age, but it also shows his shortcomings from the other side.
That's too proud.
He would treat his classmates and other ordinary ninjas with a high standard. In other words, most people would not be able to meet his standards.
Even now, he has not made many friends in the Ninja Academy.
This kind of person who is proud to the core will be more easily depressed than those ordinary people once they encounter a blow.
Just like in his previous life, Kakashi had been depressed for more than ten years and turned from a genius boy into Kakashi Hatake.
Although this cannot be blamed on Kakashi, after all, he has experienced the death of so many relatives and friends, but it does not meet Sakumo's expectations for him.
In this regard, he was completely inferior to Kai.
It has to be said that although Sakumo is not as good as Orochimaru in governing and controlling the battlefield, his far-reaching thinking and sufficient consideration for future generations and companions are enough to deserve his reputation as Konoha Hero.
"Oh, you both are here."
At this moment, hearty laughter came from outside the door. Along with the laughter, Jiraiya walked in. After seeing Chen and Sakumo, he walked straight towards them.
"Well, I heard that you captured One-Tail Jinchuriki?" Jiraiya asked with interest after sitting down and pouring himself a glass of wine.
"Yes." Chen nodded, "Orochimaru teacher said that?"
Jiraiya shook his head. "It's not him. Now Base has gone crazy. That guy named Yokogi is bragging about you everywhere."
"Oh? There is such a thing." Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that such a confidential mission would not have been spread without Orochimaru's acquiescence.
"When I just came back, I heard him bragging, saying that as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he saw you fighting Laifu." Jiraiya wondered, "Who is Laifu? I have only heard that my predecessor's One-Tail Jinchuriki is called Bunbuku."
"Uh... I gave Shukaku a new name." Chen chuckled.
"Really?" Jiraiya looked suspiciously, and his intuition told him that Chen's smile contained some kind of ulterior secret.
He didn't understand, so he stopped thinking about it. After Jiraiya took a big sip, he sighed, "You grow up so fast. Even a ninja of Jinchuriki's level can be captured alive. What a monster." "
"I knew he was a monster four years ago." Sakumo smiled slightly.
The two looked at each other, then clinked a glass and drank it full.
"By the way, I just came back from Orochimaru, who received a mission letter from the village for you two." Jiraiya said in a low voice.
"Is it announced in the village?"
"Well, Kato Dan has brought a group of new ninjas to the front line, so the camp will evacuate a group of seriously injured ninjas back to the village. You two need to lead the team back."
"This kind of task can be accomplished by any Jonin, right?" Chen was a little confused.
"It's time to change defense." Jiraiya lowered his voice very low to prevent the surrounding ninjas from hearing.
"Other fronts are somewhat unable to withstand the pressure and lack high-end combat capabilities, so the village will let you two go to other battlefields to serve as commanders."
"Commander?" Chen murmured.
He was strong enough, but he was too young, only seventeen years old. He thought he would still have some experience, but unexpectedly, Third Hokage was ready to hand over the important task to him.
However, there is nothing we can do about it. We are fighting four villages at the same time, and each front must send ninjas of sufficient strength to take charge. How can there be so many Kage Level strong men in the village.
Taken together, Chen is very suitable in terms of strength and prestige. In terms of experience, he started training with Orochimaru when he was in Second Great Ninja War. Plus, he is with Sakumo, so there is no need to worry about this.
The news that Chen captured One-Tail Jinchuriki spread back to the village, which should be one of the reasons that prompted Third Hokage to make such a decision.
"Where will we go?" Chen asked.
"All three war zones are possible, but I prefer Land of Water." Jiraiya analyzed. "There are your tribe there, and you also know enough about Hidden Mist Village during the years you were Guardian Ninja."
"Land of Water That's good, at least we don't have so many enemies." Sakumo said with a smile.
Chen also smiled. Most of their enemies were Land of Wind.
"Can this place hold up?"
With the two high-end combat forces suddenly gone, and Hidden Sand Village adding more troops, the pressure on the Land of Wind front will inevitably increase.
"Shukaku has been captured. There is no Tailed Beast on the battlefield. We are still not afraid of Third Kazekage, and..." Jiraiya smiled, "When you go back, Tsunade will come over."
"Tsunade teacher, has she returned to the village?" Chen said in surprise.
"Well, actually she has been fighting Kirigakure during this time, but it is obvious that Land of Wind needs her more. Without her, no one can break Chiyo's poison."
Although after several years of development, Konoha has trained a large number of Medical Ninja, it still takes some effort to break the poison of Chiyo, even Kana, who is a disciple of Tsunade, is no exception.
This Land of Wind battlefield can be done without anyone, but Tsunade cannot be missing.
"In this way, Sannin can gather together again." Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, we are indeed gathered together." Jiraiya also smiled.
"It's been a long time since Sannin class reunion."
