Before Hatake Sakumo could speak, Jingyi continued:
"This outfit looks pretty good. It suits you."
Hatake Sakumo: "..."
Pretty good, my ass. I already regretted putting it on. And no matter how stylish the Hokage Half-Sleeve was, could it possibly look better than your Hokage Battle Robe?
"There was something I wanted to talk to you about. I've been rather free lately, with nothing much to do."
Ever since Hatake Sakumo put on the Hokage Half-Sleeve, the village had sidelined him.
He received none of the important missions, and there was even less chance of sending him onto a battlefield.
The Third Hokage and the others had not summoned him for a long time.
With nothing to do, Hatake Sakumo could only stay home and train hard. During that time, he had even gotten himself a wife and worked hard on making a child.
"Then let's find somewhere to talk slowly and grab something to eat while we're at it."
After spending several hours in the Hokage Office, Jingyi was genuinely getting hungry.
The two immediately agreed and found a tavern that had not closed yet.
After casually ordering a couple of drinking snacks, Hatake Sakumo, his face full of worry, downed several cups of alcohol in a row.
Tsk!
Watching Hatake Sakumo's face flush red after only a few cups, Jingyi could only click his tongue in admiration.
He was not good at drinking, yet he drank like that. Wasn't he afraid of knocking himself senseless?
Speaking of drinking, Jingyi thought of Jiraiya. That bastard really worked himself to the bone on missions.
Before the New Year, he had taken Nawaki and Little Blondie out. After spending a long time completing the mission and returning, he had not even rested before setting out again.
Jingyi really did not know
