"Ahem! Now that everyone is here, the meeting will begin. Please review the documents on the table first."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Third Hokage immediately announced the start of the meeting.
It was the same old routine. Since the all-out war began, meetings had been held every few days, but their content had barely changed, generally revolving around the war on the front lines.
In Jingyi's words, it was dull and tedious.
Sure enough, even that fat man Torifu Akimichi had nearly fallen asleep.
Jingyi, too, leaned back in his chair distractedly, listening while his thoughts drifted who knew where.
The ones sitting behind him, Hyuga Hiashi and Fugaku Uchiha, were listening very attentively.
A simple meeting lasted more than three full hours before finally ending.
If the Anbu had not needed a representative present, Jingyi would rather have shut himself in the laboratory to tinker with puppet materials than come here and waste time.
"Jingyi, can we find somewhere to eat and talk?"
The meeting had just ended.
Jingyi decisively got up to leave, but Hyuga Hiashi immediately caught up and invited him to a meal.
"Sure." It was already mealtime, so having someone treat him was naturally a good thing.
As for why Hyuga Hiashi wanted to treat him, wasn't it obvious?
This guy still had not given up.
Outside a barbecue restaurant, Jingyi asked somewhat awkwardly:
"Can we go somewhere else?"
Hyuga Hiashi froze for a moment and instinctively said:
"The Akimichi barbecue restaurant's food is considered among the best in the village..."
"That isn't what I mean."
Jingyi hurriedly explained, "I mean, I've eaten barbecue for several days in a row, so I'd like something different. I wasn't saying the Akimichi's barbecue tastes bad."
No matter how delicious something was, anyone would get sick
