Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

The Third Hokage's funeral ended and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Naruto and Shenmu stood in the rain with complicated eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Tsunade came up to the two of them at some point, patted Shenmu's shoulder gently with his hand, and asked, "Where are you going to go next?"

A simple greeting, without any intention of leaving the two of them.

As Shizune once said, Master Tsunade really respected Shenmu.

After Shenmu was silent for a long time, he said: "I am going to the Kingdom of Thunder. I plan to capture the Akatsuki members and collect the bounty."

Tsunade smiled.

In the entire ninja world, Shenmu is probably the only one who can do this kind of thing.

"Go if you want, I believe in you. (•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖"

After Tsunade finished speaking, he turned to Naruto and asked, "What about you?"

Naruto didn't hesitate at all, looked at Shenmu beside him, and said firmly: "Shenmu and I are together."

"good."

Tsunade, who had already guessed Naruto's answer, turned and left without saying anything.

Before leaving, she reminded Shenmu emphatically: "Naruto is a tailed beast and has been targeted by the Akatsuki organization. He must be protected."

Shenmu nodded: "I will."

Tsunade's figure gradually became blurred in the rain.

It seemed that she was really old. After walking a considerable distance, she turned back and said, "By the way, that guy Jiraiya went to Rain Shinobi Village. You can go and see him if you have time."

Shenmu nodded: "Okay."

…

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cemetery.

Kakashi, wearing black mourning clothes and holding two bouquets of flowers, walked to a certain monument.

"Obito, Lin..."

…

This rain came and went quickly.

Shortly after the Third Hokage's funeral, the sky cleared.

The sun once again shines on the ground of Konoha Village, and on the stone tablet engraved with the mark of Konoha Village...

…

At the same time, Shenmu and Naruto have arrived at the Land of Thunder.

Although, Cloud Shinobi has now reached an alliance with Konoha.

But Shenmu had captured a group of Cloud Shinobi's Elite Jōnin back then, and even captured the Perfect Jinchūriki Killer Bee, punched Cloud Shinobi in the face, and formed a feud.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Shenmu used the transformation technique to change his red hair into black hair.

After all, his eye-catching red hair can be said to be his most obvious feature...

After completing his transformation, he also helped Naruto transform, using the transformation technique to erase the mustache on his face, and his yellow hair was changed to the same black...

Since then, the tomato scrambled egg combination has disappeared.

Shenmu felt that his disguise was very successful! ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )

However, we have just entered the Kingdom of Thunder.

He then discovered that the ninja wearing the Cloud Shinobi Village forehead protector on his back was staring at him...

The ninja had been following Shenmu and Naruto, and was finally led into an alley by Shenmu, who was stunned...

In the alley, Shenmu asked seriously: "Tell me, why are you following us!"

The ninja now had a bruised nose and swollen face, and was quite pitiful: (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)

"You two are Shenmu and Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha Village, Raikage-sama invites you."

Shenmu and Naruto looked at each other in surprise.

(‧_‧?)

They were all dressed up so low-key, how did this person recognize them?

The Cloud Shinobi ninja seemed to have read Shenmu's mind and explained: "Hokage sent a message to Lord Raikage, saying that the two of you will come to the Land of Thunder..."

"Furthermore, the genius Shenmu is famous all over the world. In addition to his red hair, he also has a handsome face that makes men jealous... he is easy to recognize."

After listening to the Cloud Shinobi ninja's explanation, Shenmu felt that it was very reasonable.

However, he still doesn't want to go to Cloud Shinobi Village.

Shenmu still remembers Raikage's expression when Cloud Shinobi was talking to Konoha.

I just want to eat my own flesh raw and peel off my own skin...

The Cloud Shinobi ninja seemed to be able to read minds, and explained: "You two can rest assured that Cloud Shinobi and Konoha are allies now, and Cloud Shinobi will not do anything detrimental to the two of you."

"And as far as I know, the reason why Mr. Raikage invited you two here this time is because he has something to ask for help..."

Now that we have talked about this...

Shenmu and Naruto next to him looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Then go ahead." Shenmu said.

…

A few hours later.

Cloud Shinobi Village.

In fact, Shenmu discovered when he stepped into the Kingdom of Thunder that the locals in the Kingdom of Thunder are white-skinned and black-skinned. However, because the domestic trade in the Kingdom of Thunder is developed and many foreigners have settled here, this is not obvious.

But after walking into Cloud Shinobi Village, this point became a little more prominent...

Raikage office.

After Shenmu walked into Raikage's office door, he could clearly tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Raikage, who was sitting in the front seat, had a dark face, obviously something very unpleasant had happened to him.

But, after seeing Shenmu and Naruto coming.

He stood up enthusiastically and expressed his welcome to the two ninjas of Konoha Village: "Long time no see Shenmu, and Naruto. We haven't seen each other for three years. The two young talents are getting more and more impressive."

"Where there."

Shenmu casually humbly asked, "Why did Lord Cloud Shinobi call me and Naruto here this time?"

Raikage seemed a little hesitant after hearing Shenmu's question.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a moderate sound.

After a while, he sighed and said slowly: "You two should know that in addition to the Eight Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee, I have another Jinchūriki in Cloud Shinobi Village."

Shenmu nodded: "I know, the Wooden Golem has the two tails of the demon cat sealed in his body."

"Yes, but just yesterday, the Wooden Golem disappeared." Raikage said solemnly.

"According to insiders, members of the Akatsuki organization wearing black cloaks were seen where the Wooden Golem disappeared... According to my guess, the opponents should be Hidan and Kakuzu of the Akatsuki organization..."

After listening to Raikage's story, Shenmu raised his eyebrows.

No wonder I bought the news that Hidan and Kakuzu had appeared in the Land of Thunder, and it turned out they were here to capture the Two-Tails...

Raikage continued: "So I want to ask you two to rescue Wooden Golem. Cloud Shinobi is willing to pay 10 million for her..."

"I know that the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to extract tailed beasts, just like the Kazekage of Sand Shinobi, so I don't expect the two tails to be still there. As long as the Wooden Golem is alive, even if the commission is completed..."

"Of course, if Erwei and Yu Wooden Golem can be rescued, Cloud Shinobi Village is willing to triple the reward."

After saying that, Raikage looked at Shenmu expectantly.

"Why don't you Cloud Shinobi ninjas go on this kind of mission?" Shenmu asked.

Raikage said helplessly: "I, Cloud Shinobi, don't have many people who can fight against the Akatsuki organization's 'Immortal Duo'. Moreover, Cloud Shinobi Village was affected by the chaos of the demons a few days ago, and its combat power was damaged, so we need people to stay behind."

"Besides, they are originally coming for the tailed beasts, so I can't send Bi out..."

"After much thought, you are still suitable."
