Eat Your Fill Before You Have the Strength to Fight! [Fourth Update, Request for Full Subscription]

Are you mad!!!

Just asking, are you mad!!!!

If you're not mad, we can keep going!!!!

As for Hatake Sakumo and the other two, they had basically become invisible by now.

Hatake Sakumo needed rest, and the influence two Elite Jonin could have in a battle like this was practically zero!!! Other than killing a handful of enemies, they could not help much at all. In that case, Hiko might as well act himself.

If that had happened, Hiko would not have minded making an example of
