Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

After following the caravan for a long time, Shenmu and the other three planned to go back to the village directly.

At this time, He Yan walked over with an anxious look.

"Nirugu disappeared!"

Naruto was confused: "Didn't you say that it rarely leaves the caravan? It would be better to look for it again."

He Yan hurriedly explained.

"Nirugu disappeared together with the boy named Timsi."

"You also know that Nirugu likes the man named Timsi very much, and maybe he went with him."

"You are Konoha ninjas, can you help me look for it?"

"That's right." Sai nodded: "But before that, we have delivered the ferret to you safe and sound, and the task has been completed."

"It's okay if you want us to help you again. We need you to go to Konoha to issue another mission."

He Yan: "..."

"Why don't you be so rigid? Rules are dead, but people are alive!"

"I can pay you for two missions, but please help me find Nirugu first."

"Shenmu, how about we help the old man." Naruto next to him saw this and tugged on Shenmu's sleeve: "The old man even took us in for lunch today."

"All right."

Shenmu thought for a while and nodded.

He was very curious about Timsey, so he took advantage of the time he was looking for the ferret to investigate.

Thinking of this, Shenmu held Sai and Naruto beside him.

"When he was unconscious today, I put a Flying Thunder God mark on his armor."

After saying that, the three bodies disappeared on the spot.

Old man He Yan looked at the three people disappearing in front of him in shock, and gave a trembling thumbs up.

"As expected of Konoha's ninja, reliable!!"

Next to the old man He Yan, his granddaughter's eyes were full of excitement: "Grandpa, that red-haired ninja is really very charming. (´◊ω◊｀)"

He Yan covered his face. He admired these little ninjas, but that didn't mean he could just watch them take his own cabbage!

He Yan said: "We have traveled to so many places on the mainland. I have never seen what kind of man you are. What is so strange about a ninja?"

The granddaughter pouted: "But those people are not as handsome as him, not as strong as him, and not as mysterious as him. In short, they just like him! (*￣3￣)"

…

Above the valley.

The three Shenmu appeared behind Timsi like ghosts.

Timsey trembled with fright, drew his sword and stabbed back!

At the critical moment, Shenmu drew out the bone knife from his waist and blocked the middle of Timsey's sword!

"Keng!"

"Snapped!!!"

The collision caused Timsi's long sword to break into two sections.

Both parties involved were stunned!

Timsey didn't expect that his long sword would be so fragile!

Shenmu didn't expect that Kimimaro's sickly bones could be so useful...

Timsi, holding the broken knife, asked awkwardly: "Why did you suddenly appear behind me?"

"You can just leave. Why did you take the old man's ferret away?" Naruto said dissatisfied.

Timsi pouted: "You think I want to take it with me? It wants to follow on its own! →_→"

"Then give us the ferret and we'll go back."

Sai interjected.

Naruto nodded.

Timsey looked at the mountains in the distance, and then at the ferret lying on his shoulder.

"Why don't you meet Lord Hyde with me first?"

"Our base is not far from here. Come meet me and I will let you take the ferret away."

"Wouldn't it be a long way to go? It would be too strenuous."

Naruto was speechless.

Unlike Naruto, curiosity appeared on Shenmu's face.

He wanted to find out the energy in Timsey, and wanted to see what kind of person Mr. Hyde, whom Timsey highly admired, was.

However, before Shenmu could speak.

The earth suddenly began to tremble!

The amplitude of the vibrations increased from small to large, as if a 100-meter giant beast was approaching their location!

"look!"

Sai suddenly looked at the mountains in the distance, with panic in his eyes!

Shenmu Naruto then looked up.

I saw a huge thing appearing among the mountains in the distance!

A rough estimate is that it is one or two hundred meters high!

The behemoth was covered in steel, and steam came out from the top from time to time!

Shenmu was a little surprised. .

I never thought that there would be such a huge mobile steel fortress in this world! ! !

Soon, the Steel Fortress moved in front of Shenmu and the others!

"Ku—"

The hatch at the base of the fortress opens.

Timsi immediately made an inviting gesture: "This is our base, don't you want to go in and visit?"

"Think about it!"

Naruto and Shenmu's heads nodded rapidly.

No man can say no to a giant machine!

So, the three of them followed Timsi into the interior of the Steel Fortress.

Walking on the steel floor, Shenmu felt like he was in another world.

It seems that I have entered the civilized era from the barbaric era.

This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale machine on this continent.

Soon, Timsi led the three people to the main hall of the fortress.

Sitting on the seat in the middle of the main hall was a man wearing half-glasses.

The man wears a long robe and a tall hat, has an elegant temperament and an easy-going smile.

He feels like the uncle next door.

However, Shenmu always felt that there was a hint of hypocrisy in this man's smile.

Timsi knelt down and saluted the first time he saw the man.

"Lord Hyde."

"The message you sent back said that the people who discovered the strange energy in their bodies are these children?" Hyde lowered his head and looked at the three Shenmu people.

"Yes."

After Timsi finished speaking, he pulled out the broken sword from his waist and faced the Shenmu group in a fighting posture: "Come on, show Lord Hyde the Chakra you have in battle."

Shenmu three people: (ー_ー)!!

"I reject."

The three of them said in unison.

From the tone of Timsi's words, it felt like the three of them were monkeys for everyone to watch.

Hyde, who was sitting in the center seat, suddenly laughed: "I'm sorry, it was my subordinate who was rude."

With that said, Hyde got off his seat and came to Naruto's side.

"It is said that you have power no less than Timsi? Do you call this power 'Chakra'?"

Naruto shook his head and said seriously: "I am much stronger than Timsey."

Hyde smiled.

"Since you have such powerful power, why don't you contribute to world peace?"

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

"Join me to build an utopia where there is no struggle and the weak are not bullied. I need your strength."

After hearing this, Shenmu's expression became strange.

This person's speech sounds like a pyramid scheme leader!

Sai remained expressionless, as if he didn't hear anything.

Among the three, only Naruto showed a thoughtful expression: "It sounds very tempting, but I want to be the Hokage's man, so I can't go with you."

While several people were chatting, Nirugu poked his head out of Timsi's armor and grinned at Hyde.

"What's this?"

Hyde asked, pointing at Nirugu.

Timsi quickly explained: "It's a mink raised by a certain caravan, and it has been following me."
