Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

The next day.

Early in the morning, Tsunade sent someone to notify Shenmu and Naruto to go to the Hokage office to pick up the mission.

"We have been practicing for three years and come back. I wonder what difficult tasks Grandma Tsunade will give us?" Naruto said excitedly on the way.

Kakashi asked Naruto to calm down first: "Let's agree first. If the difficulty of the task given by Tsunade-sama is too low, you can't make trouble in the office."

Upon hearing this, Naruto patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei."

"After three years of training, I have grown a lot. How can I get angry because of a low-difficulty task?"

Shenmu: (||๐_๐)

Shenmu didn't believe what Naruto said.

After three years of getting along, he knows this guy very well!

Just as a few people walked downstairs of the Hokage office building, a black shadow suddenly passed across the sky.

Shenmu looked up and saw a brown communication eagle.

Kakashi followed Shenmu and looked up, finding that the eagle looked familiar.

"Huh? This seems to be Sunagakure's hawk."

"Judging from the flying speed of this communication eagle, it should be the fastest among the Sunagakure batch."

"I guess there's an emergency over there."

After Kakashi's analysis, Naruto said: "Could it be that their Kazekage suffered another disaster?"

Kakashi frowned: "That's too much, don't talk nonsense, Konoha and Sand Shinobi are allies now. ←_←"

"And you also know the current Kazekage of Sunagakure. He is Gaara who came to Konoha to take the Chūnin exam."

Naruto, Shenmu: (´°Δ°`)

"Isn't that guy the same age as us? How did he become the Kazekage so quickly?!" Naruto said excitedly.

His dream is to become a Hokage, so he is always secretly comparing himself to his peers.

Although he has never been able to compare with Shenmu, he believes that he has surpassed most of his peers.

Unexpectedly, before he could nominate Hokage, Gaara had already become the Kazekage!

Kakashi-sensei explained, "Sunagakure has been leaderless since he was assassinated in the Fourth Kazekage."

"The three Gaara siblings have risen rapidly in the past three years and have become the backbone of the entire Sunagakure."

"And Gaara is already powerful, and he has the presence of One Tail Shukaku in his body. There is no one more suitable to be the Kazekage than Sand Shinobi."

Naruto nodded in understanding: "Even though you explained it this way, Kakashi-sensei, I'm still not willing to accept it."

…

Konoha Village.

Information Transceiver Department.

After Sunagakure's communication eagle arrived, the person in charge of the information sending and receiving department immediately became nervous.

"This is Sand Shinobi's fastest flying communication hawk!"

Then he took off the letter that was tied to the eagle's leg.

Communications between villages are encrypted to prevent them from being intercepted by others.

The messaging department couldn't understand the message on the letter.

However, when the person in charge's eyes came into contact with the red logo at the top of the letter, his pupils trembled and he quickly called someone.

"Hurry up and ask someone from the Code Interpretation Department. This is a first-level emergency document from Sand Shinobi!"

…

Hokage office.

Tsunade assigned the four Shenmu their first mission in three years.

"Ah, it's just a B-level mission to protect others. It's too simple."

Naruto said dissatisfiedly after seeing the message on the mission scroll.

Kakashi and Sai showed helpless expressions.

Sure enough, Naruto hasn't changed at all.

"It's great that your team can receive a B-level mission, but you are still a Genin now." Tsunade glared at Naruto.

At this moment, the door to Hokage's office was pushed open.

The person in charge of the code interpretation department hurriedly delivered the analyzed information to Hokage's desk.

"This is an urgent document from Sand Shinobi. Please take a look at it, Lord Hokage."

Tsunade glanced at the panting code interpreter and slowly unfolded the scroll.

After seeing the information on the scroll clearly, Tsunade was no longer calm.

∑(°Д°)

Naruto and Shenmu immediately craned their necks curiously, wanting to see what message was written on the scroll that could actually shock Tsunade like this.

Seeing the two of them acting like this, Tsunade turned the scroll upside down and spread it out in front of them: "Let's take a look."

Shenmu discovered that it was clearly written on the scroll.

[Sand Shinobi passes on Konoha's first-level emergency document]

[Kazekage was arrested, and the identity of the other party was suspected to be Deidara, a Rock Shinobi codenamed "Ao" from the "Akatsuki" organization. Sand Shinobi asks for Konoha's assistance...]

After reading the message on the scroll, Shenmu shook his head and said, "That's wrong."

Tsunade asked confused: "What's wrong?"

Shenmu explained: "The number of people is wrong. Over the years, we have followed Master Jiraiya to collect various information about the Akatsuki organization, and we learned that people in this organization have always acted in pairs."

"Just like Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame when they came to Konoha."

Tsunade nodded: "In this case... I originally wanted to send Might Guy's team, but since there may be two people on the other side, you should go together."

"Didn't Luduo say that the B-level mission is too easy? To save Feng Ying, this mission can be directly upgraded to S-level. Isn't it difficult enough?!"

Naruto Shenmu nodded excitedly: "Okay! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Tsunade waved his hand: "Without further delay, act quickly!"

…

Half an hour later.

Shenmu's four-person team and Might Guy's four-person team gathered at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Just as he was about to leave, Teacher Iruka appeared at the entrance of the village.

Looking at Shenmu and Naruto who have now grown into grown children, Iruka pinched the two new forehead protectors with twinkling eyes.

Then, he called Naruto and Shenmu, walked to them and said, "I originally wanted to go see you last night, but I thought you had just come back and needed to rest, so I didn't go."

"I didn't expect that it's only been one night and you guys are going on a mission again."

"Shenmu, and Naluduo, this is your new forehead protector. (*＾ワ＾*)"

"After three years of absence, your old forehead protector has become worn out..."

After saying that, after carefully putting on the forehead protectors for Shenmu and Naruto, Iruka nodded with satisfaction and patted the two young men on the shoulders.

"Okay, let's go, the teacher will always be proud of you."

"Thank you, teacher." Shenmu said sincerely, stroking the brand new forehead protector on his forehead.

Having a teacher like Iruka was something he and Naruto would be lucky to have in their entire lives.

Iruka is the light that shines into their childhood.

A few minutes later, Iruka watched his two favorite students walk out of the gate of Konoha Village.

"If I get married, I must ask Iruka-sensei to sit in my father's seat."

On the way, Naruto took off the forehead protector from his forehead, looked at the Konoha Village mark on it, and said seriously.

"Then have you decided on a marriage partner?" Shenmu asked with a smile.

Naruto looked troubled.

He really hadn't thought about this issue.

After a while, Naruto said casually: "I feel like Hinata will make a good wife."

Shenmu and his party were extremely excited after hearing this: ૧(●´৺`●)૭、ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

This guy finally got it! ! !
