Hozuki Mangetsu took a couple of steps back, looking a little guilty. He glanced at the two people inside the room, wanting to say something but not knowing what.
"Did you guys make something?"
Hatake Satoru spent time in the lab, but he didn't really care what kind of weird stuff these people were secretly researching.
Anyway, no matter what they did, they couldn't threaten him.
"Because he said he wanted to make a robot, we took Karna to study."
"But…it feels like we can't really control the situation anymore."
Hozuki Mangetsu quickly pushed the blame onto Sasori, since Sasori was the one who first suggested it.
Of course, they were also quite curious, so they joined in on the fun together.
"What kind of crazy stuff is this? If we're talking about robots…wasn't Karna already a puppet?"
Hatake Satoru raised his eyebrows in confusion.
It wasn't strange that Sasori wouldn't just sit around doing nothing, and pulling Hozuki Mangetsu into his schemes wasn't unusual either.
"Karna is perfect, so we couldn't help ourselves."
"He said he wanted to try to make Karna into a real human, but if the teacher did it, he could definitely do it easily, right?"
"So we wanted to create a person who could live forever ourselves!"
Hozuki Mangetsu mumbled quietly, sticking out his lips.
"And…Sashiki also said that after researching it, maybe we could all live forever…it sounded pretty fun."
Hozuki Mangetsu looked like a kid who made a mistake while playing.
He didn't seem to realize there was a problem with the robot, it was more like he broke something while playing around.
"Karna is an attack type puppet. If you mess him up, he'll blow up the lab."
"If this place blows up or people get hurt, you two know the consequences, right?"
Hatake Satoru smiled and pulled Sasori down, then looked at Hozuki Mangetsu at the door.
They both got goosebumps and nodded honestly.
Then Hatake Satoru excitedly went with them to see the puppet that was having problems.
Since he was bored anyway, Hatake Satoru was interested in going to laugh at their failed project.
Sasori and Hozuki Mangetsu didn't know what he was planning, they could only obediently lead the way to find Karna.
This robot thing…even though puppets can be made, the technology for robots is a little different, right?
In Sasori's eyes, there wasn't much difference between robots and puppets. He just wanted to use this as a starting point to research how to live forever.
As for Hozuki Mangetsu, he just played with whatever was fun and joined in on the excitement.
Hatake Satoru peeked into the barrier that was blocked by Wood Release, looking inside with interest.
Karna, who was tied up in the middle by Wood Release, was actually moving without any magic power. However, the effect wasn't very good.
Besides shooting light from his eyes, he was also saying things they couldn't understand.
Although Yamato could restrain him with Wood Release, he couldn't get close to Karna because of the light beams.
Even if he did get close, it would be difficult to stop Karna's attacks.
So he could only maintain a distance that was neither too far nor too close and use Wood Release to block Karna's attacks on the surroundings.
Luckily, even though these people weren't very smart, they knew to avoid crowds when doing this kind of thing, so they didn't cause too much of a disturbance in the lab.
"…～「…".
The three of them were silent for a moment, looking at each other.
Hatake Satoru solved this mess. After all, he made it himself, and he knew the weaknesses of the puppet.
Although he didn't know how the robot moved, it quieted down after he took Karna's head off.
When Hatake Satoru smiled at the three of them with Karna's head in his hand,
They all felt like the head Hatake Satoru was holding was their own.
Sasori, Yamato, Hozuki Mangetsu, stood in a row at the door according to their height, looking like elementary school students who had done something wrong.
"I promise to solve the problems I make myself, and I will definitely not trouble others, nor will I research other puppets randomly."
Sasori The Red Sand, thirty-five years old, former member of the Akatsuki organization, former S-rank wanted criminal from every country.
For a moment, it felt like he was back in ninja school, reading a promise to the teacher.
Sasori had been a rich kid since he was young, Chiyo's grandson, so teachers basically didn't tell him what to do. Reading promises was something he only saw other people do when he was a kid.
Now, at thirty-five years old, with the body of a five-year-old, he was actually reading a promise. The humiliation was doubled.
"I promise not to participate in the creation of strange things, and not to push the blame randomly."
Hozuki Mangetsu, former Fifth Mizukage, became Mizukage directly after graduating from ninja school.
A talented young man who can use the seven ninja swords.
He inevitably admitted his mistakes and apologized, reading a promise at the door of the workshop.
"…Not protecting guilty partners, reporting problems in time, and not being dragged down to be the bottom by everything like Kabuto."
Yamato was completely caught up in the crime. He knew about the things Hozuki Mangetsu and Sasori were messing with, but he thought Hatake Satoru might praise them for it.
So he was blinded by the temptation and went along with them.
In the end, he was used as a tool.
The three of them thought of countless ways Hatake Satoru would punish them, but they never expected that he would actually make them read a promise.
You clearly don't care about this kind of thing at all!!
How can there be such a guy with such bad taste!
After the three of them finished reading the promise, they all had the same thought.
They secretly complained in their hearts.
Using this method of educating elementary school students to educate former members of the Akatsuki organization, former Mizukage, and current Anbu members.
If you said it out loud, probably no one would believe it.
But it was this kind of behavior that made it seem like something Hatake Satoru would do.
"Heh, not bad, everyone has a great expression~"
"Let's take a picture first, and then show it to everyone later…ahem~"
Hatake Satoru didn't seem to care about what they promised at all, it was just like he was teasing them, with a mischievous smile on his face.
He was holding a camera in his hand, shaking it quickly up, down, left, and right, taking "click, click" pictures of them from all angles.
In the end, he even took a group photo next to the three of them, with his own radiant smile.
Someone come and take this guy away, this is no longer the mental pain that humans should endure.
Since Sasori started using this child's body, he has often been mentally damaged by Hatake Satoru.
Like before, and like now.
I'm numb already, so I won't get hurt anymore.
