Konoha Garrison in the Land of Grass.
Shindai was setting up inside the tent.
Because the war here was tense, it was impossible to sleep on a bed like he did in the Land of Hot Springs.
He only received a set of bedding from the logistics department, which he spread on the ground to sleep.
Shindai couldn't tolerate this.
What if some snakes, insects, rats, or ants crawled onto him?
What if he rolled off the bed onto the ground while sleeping?
Shindai's Ninja Way was: 'You can make anyone suffer, but not yourself!'
What? Wasn't Shindai's Ninja Way: 'Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can one achieve what ordinary people cannot achieve!'?
A Ninja Way is static, but people are dynamic; one must learn to adapt flexibly.
So, Shindai used the materials Lord Jiraiya gave him to build a bed.
It was stable, and after spreading the bedding and lying on it, it was extremely comfortable, like being on vacation.
Shindai then took out paper and a pen, but this time it wasn't for writing letters, as they couldn't be sent anyway; it was for drawing.
As a Puppet Master, Shindai's drawing skills were first-rate.
Shindai drew three extremely abstract paintings.
Each one was fat-headed and big-eared, pushing abstract art to its extreme.
These three paintings corresponded to Rasa, Chiyo, and Ebizo, respectively.
Mainly, Shindai had never met the three of them, so he drew them from memory.
The purpose of Shindai drawing these three paintings was to spur himself on, as these three culprits had inexplicably made him a traitor.
"Damn it, I'm not holding back anymore!"
Shindai punched and destroyed the three freshly drawn paintings.
What spurring on? This was for venting frustration!
"It's not enough. When I have time, I'll make three puppets to vent my anger. This is the good thing about being a Puppet Master: if you want to vent, you just make them yourself."
Shindai exhaled. Although it wasn't enough, he felt a little better.
"Shindai, I've come to visit! Hey, how do you have a bed?"
Obito came to Shindai's tent and was very surprised to see a bed inside.
Shindai rolled his eyes upward: "Can't you just go get one yourself?"
"Really? Did I get one less bed just now? I'll go get one now!"
Obito came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Shindai shook his head: "Foolish humans~"
Half an hour later, Obito returned furiously: "Shindai, you lied to me! There's no bed at all!"
Shindai leaned back on the bed, crossed his legs, and casually said, looking at the scroll containing scientific knowledge in his hand, "I never said the logistics department had beds to claim!"
Obito's face turned beet red: "You clearly told me to go get one! Do you know how embarrassing it was for me? A group of people looked at me like I was an idiot! I lost all my face!"
Shindai glanced sideways at Obito, whose face was red with anger, and calmly said, "I told you to get one, but I didn't say to get it from the logistics department~"
Obito's teeth ground 'crunch, crunch' as he glared at Shindai.
Finally, Obito made a move that Shindai never expected.
Obito pounced directly onto Shindai's bed.
This time, Shindai became anxious: "What are you doing, Obito!"
Obito shamelessly said: "What am I doing? I'm sleeping here! Unless you go get a bed for me!"
"There's no bed. This bed is mine! Get off!"
Shindai pushed Obito, but Obito clung tightly to the edge of the bed and wouldn't let go.
"I don't care! I don't care if you made it or got it, since you said it, you have to give it to me!"
Now it was Shindai's turn to blush: "Hey! I'll make one for you, alright! Now get down!"
Seeing Shindai's flushed face, Obito felt incredibly satisfied.
However, Obito didn't fall for it: "You make it first, then I'll get down! Otherwise, this bed is mine!"
Shindai looked at Obito in disbelief.
How did he suddenly get smart?
Originally, Shindai wanted to trick Obito into getting down, but he didn't expect to fail this time.
Shindai pushed Obito twice more, but Obito held on tightly, and Shindai resigned himself to fate.
He should have known not to tease Obito.
Anyway, making a bed didn't take much effort; if he had to make one, he would.
Soon, Obito's bed was ready.
Shindai unhappily said to Obito, who was still on his bed: "It's done, now get off my bed!"
"Alright!"
Obito sprang up from the bed with a carp-like leap, examining the bed Shindai had just made, his face beaming with joy.
"I forgive you!"
After saying that, Obito picked up the bed and ran off.
Shindai was stunned. He didn't even say thank you, and even shamelessly said he forgave him. Who could tolerate that!
However, Obito had already disappeared, and Shindai couldn't vent his anger.
Shindai grumbled and returned to his bed to continue reading.
The next day.
While Shindai was still sleeping, Lord Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze had already gone to the combat command center to find Nara Shikaku.
Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression: "Lord Jiraiya, Minato, you will be given a mission!"
Lord Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze also nodded with serious expressions: "Shikaku, just say it!"
Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice: "Next, you two will form a team and operate independently. The end time of the mission is unknown, meaning you two will be on long-term solo missions outside, possibly for a month, or several months, and will need to survive on your own.
Your mission is to go deep behind enemy lines and act on your own. Whether you cut off their supplies or ambush their troops, it's up to you. I need you to put enough pressure on them.
This mission can only be accomplished by you, Minato, with your high mobility. Lord Jiraiya will assist Minato from the side. If you can obtain any intelligence, please relay it to us immediately."
Lord Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze accepted the mission, both saying: "Understood!"
Minato Namikaze said to Nara Shikaku: "Shikaku, there's a rather special person in my squad named Shindai. He's that Magnet Release Bloodline Limit Ninja. He's acting with Kakashi and the others. Please take a little extra care of them."
Nara Shikaku was surprised: "So that Magnet Release Ninja is with you, Minato. Can he be trusted?"
Minato Namikaze nodded: "Yes, and Kakashi and the others will also be watching Shindai."
Nara Shikaku agreed to Minato Namikaze: "I understand. I will take care of your students, Minato, and that Magnet Release Ninja. So, Minato, Lord Jiraiya, you can depart anytime after preparing."
After leaving the combat command center, Minato Namikaze said to Lord Jiraiya: "Lord Jiraiya, after I pack my things, I'll go talk to Kakashi and the others, then I'll come find you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the garrison gate later."
Lord Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze split up. Minato Namikaze didn't really have much to pack, as he had only just arrived at the garrison yesterday; he just needed to bring the essential combat equipment.
After preparing, Minato Namikaze went to the tent where Shindai and the three Kakashi were.
