Sasori was still sitting on Karna’s shoulder, clearly treating Karna as a way to get around.
He was flipping through a thick book, full of handwritten notes, which was a little hard to see in the dark.
But since he had nothing to do, and was too lazy to talk to Deidara about his nonsense, he was putting on a show of reading it.
As soon as he heard Hatake Satoru’s voice, he turned his head to look at him.
Sasori’s eyes were half-closed, but not quite like Kakashi’s dead fish eyes.
His eyes looked a bit naturally half-closed, and Karna always had a spaced-out expression.
When the two of them turned their heads together, they looked surprisingly similar.
In the smoke and fire, the two of them looked clean and quiet, much more likable than Deidara.
But even though they had such cute faces, these two were incredibly dangerous.
Several people were lying at Karna’s feet, with big holes in their bodies.
"Ah, wait, wait a minute, you know that if you blow up this place, it won’t be a simple thing, right?"
"I’ve already tried to reduce the explosion range as much as possible!"
Deidara wailed as his cheeks were pulled.
Honestly, if the explosion was small, you wouldn’t even see the clay mountain.
He was already going against his artistic nature, but Hatake Satoru was still criticizing him.
It was enough to make anyone sad!
Hatake Satoru shook his head helplessly, released Deidara’s slightly reddened cheeks, and looked up thoughtfully at the clay mountain in front of him.
"Then I’ll take this thing back with me?"
Hatake Satoru rolled up his sleeves and sized up the white clay mountain.
"Huh?"
"Take it back?"
A golden and a red head came together, their faces twisted as if they wanted to swallow Hatake Satoru alive.
It was already outrageous enough to say that he would take them back without leaving any trace.
And now he wants to take back a clay mountain? What is this guy talking about?
"I can’t carry that much clay, right?"
Deidara waved his hands at Hatake Satoru, even though he liked the clay very much.
The effect of conducting Chakra and causing explosions was surprisingly pleasing.
But even if he liked it very much, even if he filled all his bags, he couldn’t possibly take all of this mountain of clay away at once.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m not asking you to carry it."
"With this much clay, you should be able to use it for a lifetime."
Hatake Satoru looked up and down at the clay mountain, then turned to ask Deidara.
"Ah... yeah... probably!"
"This is enough to last for decades, right!"
Deidara was actually quite frugal with his clay. A small bag of clay was enough to fight the One-Tail Jinchuriki for a while.
With this much clay, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he could use it for a hundred years.
Hatake Satoru nodded and then brought out the system storage he had been rewarded with before.
The system storage had a pretty big capacity. Hatake Satoru had used it to store his puppets.
But this time, because he felt that nothing would happen in this small country, he didn’t bring any puppets with him.
He still didn’t know how much the system storage could hold. He had put hundreds of puppets in there before, so it shouldn’t be a problem to fit this mountain in, right?
Just as Hatake Satoru was about to put the clay into the system storage, a row of light blue dots suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Oh? Oh? I don’t think I’ve put in that much clay yet, why are you here?"
This image-like presence in his mind was his system.
Although it was rare, this thing would occasionally come out and chat with Hatake Satoru.
It must be said, one of Hatake Satoru’s favorite hobbies was making the system speechless.
"You’re really going to put this mountain in, aren’t you!"
The system’s voice was still calm, after all, it might have been designed that way.
Unfortunately, the light blue text that popped up almost like a barrage was right in Hatake Satoru’s face.
It fully showed the system’s speechlessness and anger.
"If you don’t use it, you’re being silly. You’re so eager to come out and complain, is it because you can’t fit it and you’re here to tell me in advance?"
"I won’t force you too much."
Hatake Satoru replied in a very considerate tone, raising his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be trying to anger the system.
Unfortunately, the system was a non-living thing. Otherwise, in the years it had spent with Hatake Satoru, it would have been angered to death several times.
"Don’t talk nonsense, storing something like this is no problem, even if there were several mountains."
The light blue text was right in front of Hatake Satoru’s consciousness, but unfortunately, Hatake Satoru himself didn’t have any emotional fluctuations.
It seemed that no matter whether the system storage could fit it or not, he would have a solution.
After that, Hatake Satoru teased the system a few more times, saying things like, "Really? I can move a few more mountains in?"
"It’s so hard to choose. I think it would be quite unique to release a mountain during a fight!"
Hearing Hatake Satoru’s whimsical ideas, the system instantly fell silent and pretended to not exist.
A perfectly good system, bullied to this extent by its host, was simply a disgrace to systems.
In a few minutes, the entire clay mountain visibly shrunk.
Deidara and Sasori widened their eyes in disbelief, their eyes gleaming.
It must be said that although he was usually unprofessional, this guy always came up with something different.
"What kind of freaks are you guys..."
"Why did you suddenly appear here and went straight for the clay?"
"No one should know that I hid it there..."
Haoshao’s voice came from behind Hatake Satoru. His leg looked like it was injured, and he had been crawling on the ground pitifully.
Deidara’s attention was on the clay, and Sasori was anxious to find the medical book he needed. No one seemed to care what Haoshao was doing.
Or rather, they subconsciously felt that this person couldn’t do anything.
Haoshao crawled over in the smoke and dust, and then, with his muttered words, he suddenly pushed himself up from the ground and lunged straight at Hatake Satoru’s back.
The silver knife flashed a cold light in the night and fire.
