Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

Shenmu's clone was approving documents in the office, and someone from the code interpretation department opened the door with the latest news from Kirigakure.

"Lord Hokage, this is a secret message from Kirigakure Mizukage."

Shenmu didn't even raise his head and said lightly: "Put it on the table."

The little beauty from the code interpretation department didn't say much. She put down the letter and left silently, but she secretly glanced at Shenmu several times before leaving!

After a while, after the clone Shenmu finished changing the files on hand, he had time to open the secret message sent by Mizukage...

The content of the secret letter is very simple. Terumi Mei heard that Shenmu captured Qianno and Fengxin and wanted to extradite them to the Kingdom of Water for her use...

In response, Shenmu directly refused and wrote back: "These two people have done evil in the Country of Fire and committed many crimes..."

In short, the reasons given by Shenmu made it impossible for Terumi Mei to object.

However, he finally added that if Kirigakure is willing to invest in the construction of Konoha Village, he can consider extradition...

Seeking his own interests in his position, now that Shenmu has sat on the high position of Hokage, he is full, so he should work for the welfare of the village. ୧⍢⃝୨

…

In the Land of Fire, a town next to Konoha.

Shenmu took Naruto to enjoy life in the city.

"Is it really okay for us to sneak out like this? If we are discovered..." Naruto was still a little worried.

Shenmu was speechless to Naruto: "Are you mistaken? I am Hokage now. It is reasonable to go out and enjoy life..."

"And we have something serious to do today. There is someone who invented the game console in the Land of Fire. We acquired the patent for him! (๑ت๑)"

Naruto was stunned: "Is that game console you mentioned important? (꒪⌓꒪)"

Shenmu: "It's not bad. Now that the war has stopped, the people's lives are stable, and their food and clothing are taken care of, so they can think and be mentally satisfied. Maybe we can make a lot of money by acquiring this..."

Naruto's eyes lit up: "In this way, isn't the thunder cart invented by the talented people from the Land of Thunder more profitable... Transportation is the top priority..."

Shenmu looked at Naruto in surprise: "That's not bad, Naduo, you understand economics. (*＾ワ＾*)b"

"Don't worry, I've sent Sasuke and the clone to negotiate with Lei Che. I told them in advance that we must negotiate no matter how much money we spend!"

Naruto heard this and silently gave Shenmu a thumbs up: "Looking at your attitude, you are planning to start a company to make money. (˝ᗢ̈˝)"

Shenmu spread his hands and nodded: "Money has to be spent. (ﾉ∇︎〃 )"

The two of them were talking in a ramen shop. The shop was not expensive and there were many customers.

At this time, many people looked at the two of them as if they were looking at fools.

"I don't have any money but I'm still pretending. I'm already eating ramen. Why are we talking about acquisitions here? It's funny..."

"They don't really think they are rich, they are so funny. (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."

"Look at the shape of the forehead protectors on their heads. They are ninjas from Konoha Village. Why have all the ninjas in Konoha Village fallen into this state..."

Shenmu and Naruto also heard the comments from people around them, but ignored them.

With their current situation, they will never be able to eat four dishes in their lifetime! (′д｀σ)σ

After a while, the ramen was served, and Shenmu and Naruto planned to feast on it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses in the ramen restaurant seemed to see something. With a "swish!", he ran out like a cheetah!

Outside the ramen restaurant, a man with eyes stopped a pair of passing women.

Shenmu took a closer look at the woman who was blocked. She was wearing a smart outfit, her hair was tied up high, and her eyes were full of heroism. She was either a ninja or a samurai!

"Shall we go up and help? ꐦ≖ ≖" Naruto inherited the Fourth Generation's philosophy of being brave and courageous, and couldn't get a grain of sand out of his eyes.

Shenmu: "Don't worry, that girl should have a way to deal with it."

After Shenmu said this, the man with glasses got a puppet mecha from nowhere, with the mecha number [99].

Naruto couldn't sit still at all now: "That big puppet is not something ordinary people can deal with."

In this regard, Shenmu still looked calm: "None of the girls outside are panicking. Why are you anxious?"

next moment!

"boom!!!"

A loud noise was heard in the ramen shop. Naruto looked up and found that the puppet mecha piloted by the man with glasses had been kicked into pieces by the black-haired girl!

Naruto: (꒪⌓꒪) b

"It...it seems that my worries are a bit unnecessary."

Outside the ramen shop, the girl and the attendant who kicked the puppet mecha to pieces seemed to feel Naruto's gaze and looked up at Naruto and Shenmu...

After noticing the Konoha Village forehead protector above their heads, they pushed the door open and walked into the ramen shop.

The older attendant next to the girl saluted and said: "Two of you, we are from Nadeshiko Village. Because of an agreement, we have to go to Konoha. We got lost after we got here..."

Enthusiastic Naruto heard this and replied: "Oh~ we want to go to Konoha Village, right? After leaving the city, walk northeast, which is about fifty or sixty miles away...｡◕‿◕｡"

"Thank you." The girl bowed down with her attendants to thank her.

Naruto replied happily: "No need to be polite, I would like to ask, do you have anything important to do when you go to Konoha Village?"

The person who answered the question was the attendant beside the girl: "Years ago, Mr. Jiraiya of Konoha Village had a battle with my former village chief of Nadeshiko Village, but the outcome was inconclusive. The battle agreement between them has been passed down to the next generation."

As he said that, the attendant pointed to the girl beside him: "This is Nadeshiko Shizuka, the current village chief of Nadeshiko Village. We are going to Konoha Village to find Master Jiraiya's disciples to fulfill our agreement."

Naruto heard this and his eyes widened: "What a coincidence, we are Master Jiraiya's disciples! (ﾉ∇︎〃 )"

The attendant was also stunned, as if he didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen: "Really?"

Naruto Shenmu nodded at the same time: "Really."

As soon as he said this, Nadeshiko Shizuka's expression changed. She took out two kunai from nowhere and pointed at Shenmu and Naruto respectively: "Then fulfill our master's agreement and let's start the war!! (●･̆⍛･̆ ●)”

“When it comes to marriage, I won’t lose! (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)”

Several black lines suddenly fell from Shenmu's forehead: "Even if we want to be beaten, we have to wait until we finish eating the ramen. (||๐_๐)"

"Wait...did you just mention 'marriage'? Isn't this an ordinary sparring session? ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞"

Suddenly Shenmu's eyes widened.

"No." The girl's attendant acted as the narrator: "Nadeshiko Village is completely a female village, and there are only women in the village."

"So, there are rules in the village. The candidates for the village chief must challenge the strong men from the outside world, and bring back the powerful man who defeats them to the village to be their husband..."

"So, it's a battle where marriage is the stakes."

Naruto: "How can this be? Then I won't participate. Shenmu, come on! T_T"
