"Are you surprised, Takumi?"
Kakashi turned to look at Takumi, internally expecting to see a surprised expression.
But he only saw Takumi looking thoughtful. He silently admired Takumi's composure.
'Even when faced with something as shocking as Wood Release, he could remain calm.'
"It is surprising."
Takumi looked up seriously. "But when we were rebuilding the village before, why didn't we see Yamato-senpai come out to help?"
"..."
Kakashi was immediately embarrassed.
How would he know why Yamato didn't come out to help?
To ask this question, one would have to ask Hiruzen.
After all, Yamato was previously one of Hiruzen's elite Anbu.
"Never mind, maybe Hokage-sama had his own considerations."
Takumi didn't press further. He was just using this opportunity to show his image of caring more about the people.
He of course knew why Hiruzen didn't reveal Yamato.
It was entirely because Hiruzen regarded Yamato as a trump card and kept him hidden.
Thinking about how he almost got directly killed by Orochimaru back then,
Takumi felt that Hiruzen's efforts were completely useless.
A trump card is called a trump card only when used at the critical moment.
If you die, the trump card becomes completely useless.
"Yamato-senpai is truly unassuming, hiding his abilities."
Takumi stepped forward and said seriously. "To think you have mastered the Wood Release that only the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama-sama, could use. That's truly amazing."
"How could someone like me be compared to that great figure."
Yamato was very humble, or rather, he genuinely felt from the bottom of his heart that there was an enormous gap between himself and Hashirama.
He didn't even dare to compare himself to Hashirama.
He believed others felt the same.
Because Hashirama was called a god.
And Hashirama's past achievements could only make everyone present look up to his shadow.
Even Takumi now couldn't catch up to the real Hashirama.
"But using Wood Release to build a house is really luxurious."
Takumi looked at the house and couldn't help but marvel.
Wood Release was truly a convenient ability.
In terms of shaping, Earth Release had a similar effect.
But the level of neatness couldn't compare to Wood Release.
"Ahaha, I can only manage this level."
Yamato rubbed the back of his head and smiled. "At most, I can just expand the scale according to this model."
"..."
Takumi pondered for a moment, then looked at Sasori. "Do you have any thoughts? Like the style of the building, for instance."
"It doesn't matter."
Sasori had no particular requirements for this.
He didn't think he would stay here long.
As long as he regained his mobility, he would eventually be able to leave Konoha.
The people who could stop him in Konoha weren't many.
And they couldn't monitor him 24/7.
Besides causing trouble for themselves, it wouldn't do any good.
As for the idea of getting information from him, it was even more impossible.
"Think about it. It will be your shop after all."
Takumi said with a smile. "If you miss this chance, you never know when there'll be another one."
"It doesn't matter."
Sasori said casually.
He really didn't care.
After all, his heart wasn't here.
But at this moment, he was also falling into confusion.
He didn't know whether he should return to the Akatsuki.
What could he do even if he went back?
He was a failure; who would welcome him back?
Even if he left Konoha, where would he go?
Sunagakure?
He had no lingering feelings for that place anymore.
But besides there, where else could he go?
Sasori's mind was full of confusion.
Takumi looked at Sasori. He couldn't read any expression in Sasori's eyes.
But he could vaguely guess some of Sasori's emotions.
From Sasori's words, some of his inner thoughts were vaguely revealed.
He smiled faintly to himself, then said to Yamato, "Then I'll trouble Yamato-senpai. Just build a sturdy house with plenty of space, so he can make good use of his skills."
To cut hair for a dozen or more people at the same time, definitely needed a relatively large space.
"If that's the requirement, it's very simple."
Yamato secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been worried there might be some strange requests.
If it was just this, he could easily do it.
Although this open space was a bit large, it would just consume a bit more Chakra.
It was completely within his capacity.
Yamato continued to perform Wood Release.
Then, amidst everyone's amazed gazes, he quickly built a house with a style completely different from the surrounding ones.
The house completely followed Takumi's requirements. Besides two bedrooms and a bathroom, the remaining space became one huge open area.
It could easily accommodate a hundred people inside.
"Takumi-kun, is this level satisfactory?"
Yamato wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a hint of anticipation.
"Amazing."
Takumi praised sincerely.
He truly envied Yamato's Wood Release.
If he also mastered Wood Release, he wouldn't need to stay in tents when going on missions in the future.
If he had the chance, he would definitely master Wood Release.
With the simulation system in hand,
He believed he would definitely obtain Wood Release in the future.
After all, he could even use Susano'o without having a Sharingan.
What was mere Wood Release in comparison?
"If I ever have the chance to go on a mission with Yamato-senpai, I'd never have to worry about where to stay."
Takumi said with a smile.
"If the opportunity arises."
Yamato agreed with a smile.
But the possibility of the two going on a mission together wasn't high.
Unless it was some very important mission.
After all, they were both Jonin, and previously unfamiliar with each other.
Compared to him, who was unfamiliar, Kakashi and Guy were more suitable for Takumi.
They had all carried out missions with Takumi before.
Not to mention Kurenai, who had once been Takumi's Jonin Instructor.
It's just that recently, Kurenai hadn't been going on many missions.
Most of the time, she took Hinata and the other two on simple missions to train their coordination.
Otherwise, she was guiding their training.
