Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

After listening to the assassination ninja's statement, Shenmu finally understood.

In short, all the evil was done by Meng Zong! !

As the leader of a group of wandering ninjas, Meng Zong came to the Kingdom of Birds a few years ago and pretended to be a monk to deceive the trust of his former daimyo.

Afterwards, in order to completely dominate the Kingdom of Birds, he assassinated the former daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds, Ogre, and the Prince.

After discovering that "Heron" was still alive, he aroused people's suspicion of Hongming, making Hongming and "Heron" suspicious of each other, and benefited himself.

The reason why he assassinated the daimyo at this time was because he recognized that Shenmu and his party were here to investigate the ghost warriors and had no time to take care of the daimyo. Tonight, another ghost warrior appeared in the Hongming Mansion and lured away the guards. He just happened to take advantage of it. Create chaos and rise to power in one fell swoop!

I just didn't expect that the ghost warrior's true identity is the daimyo...

…

Meng Zong's mansion.

The old bald donkey anxiously circled in the inner hall and kept talking to the men around him: "Why haven't the people sent out come back yet? Has something happened? Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

The subordinate comforted him and said, "Boss, the palace is heavily guarded. We must give them some time..."

Suddenly, Meng Zong made a decision: "No, there is no news for so long, it is possible that he was caught!"

"We can't wait for them anymore, let's go first!"

The subordinate seemed a little hesitant: "This is not good, boss, it will be chilling if the brothers know about it."

Meng Zong waved his hand and said impatiently: "There is no time to care about that now. If they are caught in the palace, we will really have no way out! վ‸ վ "

With that said, Meng Zong led two of his men and anxiously turned around and went out.

But soon.

Meng Zong, who had just gone out, returned to the house again!

He smiled awkwardly and looked at Naruto and Neji who were blocking his way: "Didn't the two ninjas go to investigate the ghost incident tonight? Why are they still in the mansion? (o´Д`o)"

As he said that, he turned to look at the men beside him, his eyes indicating: Didn't he say that he saw all four Konoha Village ninjas going out? What's going on with these two people?

The subordinate showed an innocent expression: he indeed saw the four of them going out together. ⊙_⊙

Neji noticed Meng Zong's small expression and said with a smile: "It is the clones of both of us who accompanied the two companions to investigate the ghost warriors."

"In order to deceive others, I came up with this strategy. I have to obey the authority when the matter is urgent. Lord Meng Zong forgives me."

When Meng Zong heard this, he knew something was wrong and deliberately said angrily: "Then what do you mean by blocking my way and not letting me go out? ヽ(‘⌒´メ)ノ"

Naruto said slowly and unhurriedly: "The ghost warrior appears tonight, and the capital of the Kingdom of Birds is in chaos. We are afraid that Master Meng Zong will encounter something unexpected when he goes out..."

After hearing this reason, Meng Zong suddenly became more certain.

Surrounding yourself at this time, these Konoha Shinobi people probably already know something!

So Meng Zong started to look Naruto and Neji up and down...

To be honest, the glory of the entire young generation in Konoha Village has been overshadowed by Shenmu.

So much so that a wandering ninja like Meng Zong has only heard of Shenmu's name, but has no impression of the two little ninjas Naruto and Neji...

Since they are two little-known little ninjas, they can give it a try!

So Meng Zong suddenly had a fit and formed a seal with his hands: "Since you insist on blocking the road, then don't blame me (｀Δ´)!!"

Naruto and Neji looked at each other and smiled as if they had expected Meng Zong to do this.

…

After the ninja who assassinated the daimyo confessed, Honglu quickly sent people to surround Meng Zong's mansion.

Shenmu and Red Heron also followed here.

At this time, the guard captain surrounding Meng Zong's residence shouted loudly: "Lord Meng Zong! Please come out and cooperate with our investigation! Otherwise, don't blame our guards for being rude!"

next moment!

"Crunch——"

The door to Meng Zong's mansion opened.

The guards had learned Meng Zong's true identity before they came, so they were all extremely nervous after the door opened.

Because they are just ordinary people who have been trained and have some special skills, they are still inferior to Jōnin...

However……

A group of escort members: (꒪⌓꒪) , (ᗒᗩᗕ)՞

Inside the mansion, Naruto and Neji escorted Meng Zong out of the mansion.

Naruto was as proud as a victorious general. He smiled and said to Shenmu who was not far behind the guards: "Hey, Shenmu, I completed the task perfectly this time! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"This Meng Zong is just like a silver wax spear head, so soft..."

Shenmu: "..."

Naruto has been around him for a long time, and he can easily come up with such common sayings. (||๐_๐)

Afterwards, Meng Zong handed over the Guards.

Red Heron looked at Shenmu standing next to him in surprise: "You, you have planned all this?"

Shenmu said modestly: "No, I just realized that something was wrong with this person a long time ago, so I was aware of it in advance."

The ghost warrior mission has come to an end.

After this incident, Shenmu and others stayed one night in the capital of the Bird Kingdom, and were warmly entertained by the red heron.

The next day, Shenmu and others planned to leave.

Outside the capital of the Kingdom of Birds, Red Heron was sitting on a sedan chair. At this time, she had resumed her daughter's attire.

Naruto said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would look pretty good in women's clothes. (˝ᗢ̈˝)"

Tiantian is speechless: "I am originally a girl!"

Red Heron smiled shyly after hearing the conversation between the two.

After that, her autumn eyes looked at Shenmu not far away: "Shenmu, I was thinking about one thing last night..."

Shenmu followed her words and asked, "But it doesn't matter."

The red heron lowered his head slightly and opened his red lips: "I wonder if you would like to rule the country of birds with me...(´つヮ⊂︎)"

The beautiful scenery by the lake and the girl's blushing face due to shyness, the two scenes are so beautiful!

Tiantian Neji and others were stunned after hearing Red Heron's question.

Ah this...

Who can refuse this request? Not only can he win the beauty, but he can also become a famous name in the country of birds. ( ´▽` )

However, next to him, Shenmu said seriously: "No, it's too troublesome. I don't even want to be the mayor of Konoha Village, let alone govern a country."

As soon as these words came out, Red Heron lowered his head in disappointment and lowered his eyes.

Seeing this, Shenmu waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these days, Daimyo. Let's go first."

After saying that, the red-haired boy and his companions turned around without hesitation, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the official road...

After Shenmu left, Red Heron refused to look away for a long time.

Hong Ming noticed the change in the daimyo's expression and comforted him: "That young man is so capable that he cannot be trapped in my little bird country."

Red Heron naturally understood this truth, but she still couldn't help but feel sad.

She said: "Even if he leaves something for me when he leaves, it's okay."

After saying that, she suddenly realized something, stretched out her hand to touch her lower back, and smiled softly.

…

the other side.

On the way back to the village.

Naruto asked Shenmu: "Has the village asked you to be the village chief?"

Shenmu nodded: "I mentioned it a long time ago. Master Tsunade said it more than once...┐(´-｀)┌"

Naruto: "She can ask me anytime. ꒦ິ^꒦ິ"
