Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

The day for the ninja midterm exam is getting closer and closer.

After meeting Guy and Xiao Li that day, Shenmu continued to practice her own physical skills.

Now I can barely drive to the Sixth Gate.

When it comes to improving your physical fitness, you can't eat it all in one go, you have to do it slowly, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to your body.

So Shenmu insists on exercising every day, but does not rush for success.

As for Shenmu's good friend Naruto, his performance has improved significantly under Shenmu's supervision these days.

At present, the results of cultural courses have been steadily higher than the score line.

There has also been good progress in several basic ninjutsu.

In the yard, Shenmu was exercising while encouraging Naruto who was practicing ninjutsu next to him.

"Come on Naruto, we both will successfully graduate from the ninja school and become real ninjas!"

Naruto's face was like a bitter gourd: "Shenmu, I feel that what you taught me has exceeded the passing standard... In the final exam, I shouldn't be asked to separate two hundred Shadow Clone..."

Shenmu shook his head and said, "Don't let up, the students are all training hard!"

"Last time I saw Sasuke training alone in the countryside, he was already able to use Fire Style! If we don't work hard, others will fall behind!"

"Huh? Fire Style is never taught in ninja schools!"

Naruto asked in surprise.

"He must have realized it himself!"

Shenmu said affirmatively.

Then, he gave Naruto next to him a reassuring look.

"But if you want to learn, I can teach you."

"After I saw Sasuke practicing at that time, I fumbled around at home for a while, and later figured out more than 200 Fire Styles, which should be able to meet your learning needs..."

Naruto had long been accustomed to Shenmu's terrifying understanding.

And under Shenmu's long-term indoctrination, he felt that all his classmates were like Shenmu, with understanding and learning abilities that he could not match!

After hearing what Shenmu said, Naruto gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I want to learn! I can't let that guy Sasuke snatch little Sakura away!"

"Okay, after you finish practicing today, I will teach you extra."

Shenmu nodded.

In fact, Shenmu never understood it.

What is it about little Sakura that attracts Naruto?

He's not very good-looking, has a bad temper, and often insults Naruto...

In the end, Shenmu blamed it on complicated love!

…

Hokage office.

Because of Shenmu, Iruka has almost become a regular visitor in the office.

Today, he has something to report again.

Iruka: "Hokage-sama, since Shenmu and Naruto lived together, Naruto's grades have improved significantly! It's enough for him to pass the final exam of the ninja school now!"

"Oh? It seems that these are all due to Shenmu!"

The Third Hokage's eyes showed relief.

"That boy really didn't disappoint me! Not only did he master a bunch of terrifying ninjutsu, he was also able to teach Naruto what he learned, allowing his friends to grow up with him..."

"Perhaps Shenmu is better than me at teaching others."

Iruka said with a wry smile.

After all, he had led Naruto for five or six years, but he never made the latter's performance improve.

And Shenmu only took him half a month to make a comeback!

"Iruka, don't belittle yourself, you are an excellent ninja teacher! Shenmu is beyond the scope of a normal ninja, don't be serious with him."

After Third Generation finished speaking, his eyes showed his thoughts: "And, if we have to compare, according to Shenmu's growth rate, I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses me..."

"Master Hokage, Shenmu will graduate from the ninja school soon. Have you thought about taking his Jōnin in the future?"

Iruka suddenly asked.

Shenmu is the most enlightened student Iruka has ever seen. He is like a piece of jade with the best imperial green hidden in it. It will fully grow and needs someone to carve it.

As a teacher who has taught Shenmu.

Iruka doesn't want Shenmu to be buried.

He hopes that Shenmu can find a good teacher in the future and take him further on the road of ninja!

"I've been thinking about the question you mentioned these days."

Third Generation seemed to have a headache: "But Shenmu's talent is so outstanding that teachers who can teach him must be carefully selected..."

"OK."

Iruka felt a little relieved when he saw that Third Hokage was very concerned about this matter.

…

Outside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage's grandson Konohamaru has been listening at the door.

When he heard Third Hokage say, "I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses me," Sarutobi Konohamaru rushed out excitedly.

He wants to defeat his grandfather and become the Hokage.

And Shenmu, who was highly praised by his grandfather, can definitely help him!

…

In three days, Shenmu will face the final exam.

Just like every exam he took in the previous world, Shenmu reviewed carefully.

Try to practice every ninjutsu that will be tested in the exam to perfection.

Practicing is important, but so is eating.

Following Naruto, Shenmu eats almost instant noodles every day.

Even if I can eat better sometimes, I always eat Ichiraku ramen from the stall next door.

After more than ten days, people in Shenmu will turn into noodles.

So, today he decided to go out to buy groceries and cook a decent meal.

Walking in the street.

Shenmu discovered that there was a sneaky little kid following behind him!

Shenmu looked back tentatively, and the little kid quickly put the camouflage cloth on himself.

Trying to fool Shenmu's eyes with his poor disguise.

Shenmu looked at the black camouflage cloth that was incompatible with the gray wall, and said ruthlessly: "Hey! Stop pretending, kid! Why are you following me all the time!"

"Wow!"

The child vigorously pulled off the camouflage cloth covering his body and said with appreciation: "Not bad, he saw through my disguise right away. He is worthy of the Shenmu who was highly praised by his grandfather!"

Shenmu：¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your disguise is so obvious that anyone can spot it!

Shenmu was in a hurry to buy groceries and wanted to get rid of this little brat quickly, so he asked: "Tell me, what is the purpose of following me all the time?"

"Grandpa said you will surpass him soon, so I hope you can teach me a ninjutsu that can defeat grandpa!" Konohamaru waved his fist and said with high spirits.

"Your grandfather? Who is your grandfather?"

Shenmu asked doubtfully.

"That's the Hokage-sama you call me."

Konohamaru said calmly.

Shenmu：∑(°Д°)

This kid is actually Lord Hokage’s grandson!

They look no different from ordinary children!

Tsk! It seems to be more stupid!

Konohamaru noticed the change in Shenmu's expression and felt slightly disappointed.

Konohamaru dislikes people who flatter his grandfather because of his power.

That kind of person only regards him as the grandson of Hokage and does not regard him as an independent "Konohamaru".

"Well, since you know that my grandfather is a Hokage, why not teach me ninjutsu as soon as possible."

Konohamaru said pretending to be arrogant.

Anyway, his goal is to learn ninjutsu and defeat his grandfather.

It doesn't matter who you learn from, even if the other person is the type of person he hates.

Shenmu: "Don't teach.┐(´-｀)┌"
