Playing As Gojo Satoru in Naruto-Chapter 371

"..."

Hatake Satoru’s quick and direct denial, his words too blunt, left Shisui unsure where to start helping this person.

Hatake Satoru’s reliability and sense of responsibility were entirely up to himself, like doing as he pleased.

If he felt something was unnecessary, he wouldn’t do it, and he hadn’t truly given up on those students.

Despite being irresponsible, he would finish his work before leaving.

It was just that he didn’t stay at school until dismissal with those students.

He had already finished teaching them what he needed to, and he made sure some students had learned. Those who didn’t understand and were willing to learn could ask him later.

If they weren’t willing to learn, that was fine too. Without a teacher to manage them, they could do whatever they wanted.

"Well, although I am indeed irresponsible, I’m not as bad as those people say."

"I haven’t been a teacher for very long yet. We can wait to see my students’ scores."

Seeing Shisui, who was momentarily speechless, Hatake Satoru paused, seeming somewhat reluctant to defend himself.

Although he didn’t care much about what others thought of him, it was better to leave a good impression if there was a chance to be a helpful tool.

Hatake Satoru shrugged. The people at school were always so busy. Aren’t teachers supposed to be judged by results?

As long as the students he taught were qualified, there shouldn’t be any problem.

It wasn’t time for the assessment results yet, so sending groups of people to catch him was too boring.

Hatake Satoru tapped his cup with his fingernail. The cup made a clear sound, and the ice cubes inside jiggled, shaking a lemon slice to the bottom of the cup.

"Students shouldn’t have that much time to waste..."

"For a genius like you, learning should be very easy, so you can’t understand how those students feel. Even if we wait until the assessment to see the results, it still wastes a lot of their time."

Shisui said subtly.

Although Hatake Satoru wanted to retort that idiots were just idiots, and if they couldn’t learn, that was that, since there were other paths.

But thinking about it carefully, saying that would indeed be quite arrogant.

"Well~ At most until the afternoon. Making me stay until the official end of work is too difficult—"

Hatake Satoru thought for a moment, then childishly complained, leaning back against the chair behind him.

Ah... sometimes he was indeed quite childish.

Shisui’s gaze fell on Hatake Satoru’s action of leaning back, which didn’t quite match his age and profession.

"I will report this truthfully."

Shisui smiled unconsciously. While he hadn’t fully completed his mission, he had managed to convince Hatake Satoru.

"Are you thinking that even though I’m not young anymore, my every move is still like a child’s?"

Hatake Satoru leaned back on the chair, then suddenly flipped over. He had a bamboo skewer from a eaten dumpling in his mouth.

His face suddenly came close, with only the bamboo skewer maintaining the distance between them.

"Huh?!"

If it weren’t for the fact that Hatake Satoru had no killing intent or malice whatsoever, such a distance and action might have made Shisui think this guy was planning to kill him.

Hatake Satoru’s mouth held the skewer, moving it up and down as if asking a question.

"Don’t suddenly get so close, and don’t point the skewer at people."

Shisui was momentarily speechless and reached out to move Hatake Satoru’s skewer away from him. Whether Hatake Satoru thought that or not, it wasn’t that important.

Hatake Satoru’s strong reaction surprised him.

"A little bit, since you still look... quite childlike."

Shisui chose his words carefully, picking an adjective that seemed acceptable.

After all, Hatake Satoru was older than him, and calling him childish directly felt impolite.

Moreover, judging from Hatake Satoru’s words and actions, he was not a simple person.

So when he did certain things or said certain things, it created quite a contrast.

"Tsk, being told this by someone younger than me, I can’t be happy at all."

Hatake Satoru put down the skewer and made a face at him.

"Sigh..."

Shisui frowned a little helplessly, unsure how Itachi managed to get along with this person.

"Are you done talking?"

Uchiha Itachi darted out from the crowd and picked up the last dumpling on the table.

His voice was still a little out of breath, likely from throwing shurikens inside just now.

A patch of sweat seeped onto his forehead, and his bangs stuck to it messily.

He was holding a small green dinosaur, which looked cute and a little familiar.

It looked like the one Sasuke always carried when he was little.

Shisui patiently wiped Itachi’s forehead and said a few words to him.

Hatake Satoru’s mind was elsewhere and he didn’t pay much attention to what they were saying.

He just slightly raised his head to look at the aunt at the shop across the way. Although he wore an eyepatch, the aunt’s sharp eyes met his.

"Speaking of which, Itachi, I haven’t seen your younger brother since he was born—"

"Now that you’re going home, take me to see him, okay~"

Hatake Satoru said abruptly to Uchiha Itachi, who had his cheeks puffed out from eating.

"Ah... yes, okay."

Uchiha Itachi nodded at Hatake Satoru while holding the little dinosaur.

"Alright, let’s go—"

"It’s not good for you to go back too late."

Hatake Satoru stood up cheerfully and directly picked up Uchiha Itachi, leading him towards the door. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"?"

Shisui vaguely sensed something amiss. It seemed that as soon as Hatake Satoru stood up, many gazes turned towards them.

Hatake Satoru, with a bewildered Uchiha Itachi, quickly ran to the door.

As he paused for a moment at the doorway, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Shisui, danger.

As Shisui was about to follow, he was blocked by the people around him.

"You haven’t paid for the previous expenses yet, including the cost of this little brother throwing shurikens."

Damn.

Shisui secretly swallowed a mouthful of blood. He was not only a scammer but also a money-grabber.

No wonder no one took this C-rank mission. After bringing people here, Hatake Satoru would probably use some excuse to cheat both the person and the money.

"Sigh... I get it, I get it."
