Hatake Sakumo's reward was no different from the original story: a Hokage Half-Sleeve!!
This showed that the Daimyo thought highly of him and considered him qualified to become the next Hokage.
Judging by the ages of the Third Hokage and Hatake Sakumo, there was nothing unusual about establishing a Hokage Candidate.
Such a thing would have been no big deal in other villages, but if it happened in Konoha, there would be trouble.
Because the Third Hokage did not want to see a Hokage Candidate appear in the slightest.
The appearance of such a person meant there was someone who could threaten him.
In front of the envoy delegation, the Third Hokage could not show the dissatisfaction and fury in his heart. He could only swallow it down.
What truly broke the Third Hokage's composure was that Hatake Sakumo happily accepted the Daimyo's goodwill and even put on the Hokage Half-Sleeve right there.
Good heavens, Senior, you really dared to wear it.
Among the crowd, Tsunade glanced at the Third Hokage's gloomy expression and could not help smacking her forehead.
Unfortunately, Tsunade had little interest in enjoying the show, because Jingyi's reward was even more provocative than Hatake Sakumo's.
Hatake Sakumo had received only a Hokage Half-Sleeve, while Jingyi's reward was a complete Hokage Battle Robe. The sight of it made the Third Hokage's temples throb.
Fortunately, there were no words on the robe. It was simply a white robe with red patterns, meant to be worn by itself.
After sending everyone from the envoy delegation away to rest,
the Third Hokage returned to the Hokage Office with a grim face.
"Tsunade, what do you think the Daimyo meant by this? Is he expressing dissatisfaction with me, hinting that I should begin selecting a Hokage Candidate?"
"I don't know."
