Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

Shenmu really enjoyed the days when Sasuke was filling in for him.

A week later, Naruto Hinata and his party returned from the Land of Snow, bringing back a sample of Raging Wave's Chakra armor.

Shenmu's home.

Shenmu took the sample from Naruto without raising his head, preparing to go upstairs to study it carefully.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even take a step forward. Naruto came up with a bear hug and said gratefully: "Shenmu! Thank you so much! ꒦ິ^꒦ິ"

Shenmu was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Naruto: "Thank you for creating a date opportunity for me and Hinata! My relationship with Hinata has deepened in the past few days! And I successfully held Hinata's hand, all thanks to your help!! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω ¤̴̶̷́)✧︎”

Shenmu felt that his mind was a little lost: "Wait a minute! You and Hinata have been dating for several months, and you have just reached the stage of holding hands?! (꒪⌓꒪) "

"Don't say you know me when you go out. (ー_ー)!!"

"Also, what do you mean by assist just now?"

Naruto: "..."

"As soon as the mission was completed, your clones dispersed and there was no need for Flying Thunder God to bring everyone back. Didn't you take the initiative to set aside time for Hinata and me to go on a date?"

After saying that, Naruto showed a very knowledgeable expression and patted Shenmu's shoulder with his hand: "Don't shirk it, I understand your good intentions. (˝ᗢ̈˝)"

Shenmu: (≖╻≖；)

In fact, Shenmu's clone didn't think that much at all. He dissipated on his own and really didn't think about Naruto Kakashi...

But Naruto wanted to think so, and Shenmu thought it was better not to explain. ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

"Yes, but you only held Hinata's hand, so all my efforts were in vain! (′д｀σ)σ" After Shenmu finished speaking, he was too lazy to talk to Naruto anymore and went upstairs to do research.

Downstairs, Naruto scratched his head with his hands, full of questions: "Isn't this considered a fast progress..."

"Forget it, I don't think so much, Shenmu has never been in love. (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ"

"I'm going to meet Hinata for dinner~"

…

Hokage office.

It was now half past six in the afternoon and the sun had already set.

Sasuke, who was working as a substitute, was still processing documents.

Even though four clones were separated to handle it together, there were still a lot of remaining files.

Sasuke: "Too much, too much... (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

After another two hours, Sasuke finally completed all the tasks and returned home with a tired look on his face...

Naruto, who had just come back from a date, was stunned when he saw Sasuke so thin. (´°Δ°`)

"Sass, I've been out for less than half a month. Why have you lost a lot of weight... Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

Sasuke replied weakly: "Water..."

…

Upstairs, Shenmu studied the Chakra armor under the light.

This armor not only has a protective effect, but also amplifies ninjutsu, allowing ninjas to gain the ability to fly. It has endless uses. If ninjas can be equipped in large quantities, their strength will definitely increase by a degree...

More importantly, if mass production can be achieved, he will definitely make a lot of money! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎

"In the memory of Nu Tao, there was a bottleneck in the development of Chakra armor for a long time. Not only could the Chakra armor at that time not be able to amplify ninjutsu, but in order to achieve a strong defensive effect, it needed to absorb a large amount of Chakra. It was the mysterious man who provided the technology. Helped him solve the problem..."

With that said, Shenmu took off the core of the Chakra armor's chest and carefully observed the circuit layout...

A few hours later, Shenmu suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is an excitation device and a Chakra storage device placed in the core of the armor. Chakra is usually stored in it, and when used, it is stimulated with Chakra to mobilize the stored Chakra to achieve an increase effect... It's a bit interesting. …”

Shenmu's research passed overnight...

That night, Shenmu analyzed everything about the Chakra armor, including the overall structure, selected materials, and the most important armor core...

"Wow——!"

Open the curtains and let the early morning sunlight shine into the house.

Shenmu stretched his sore shoulders, and there was a creaking in his neck and shoulders...

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Sasuke's voice came from outside the door: "Shenmu, I have something to tell you."

Shenmu opened the door and looked at the hopeless Sasuke in front of him, and probably guessed what he wanted to say.

Sasuke: "I have helped you for so many days, it should be enough..."

Shenmu saw that Sasuke was working really hard and was really embarrassed to exploit him any more. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there by myself today."

With that said, Shenmu took out the Chakra armor sample and the drawings he had drawn from the room: "Give these to Raimon and see if he can make a sample first..."

Hearing that he no longer had to deal with official duties, Sasuke readily accepted what Shenmu handed him and agreed: "Okay! ✧(◍˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍)✩"

Before leaving, Sasuke also advised: "By the way, Shenmu, after being a Hokage for these few days, I know how heavy your daily tasks are... You don't have to do everything yourself in the future. You have become a Hokage. It's time to give orders to others." Just tell others...❛‿˂̵✧”

…

Hokage office.

The Shenmu clone dozed off while working on the documents.

Shikamaru: (||๐_๐)

"Didn't you take a week off? Why did you doze off when you came to work..."

Shenmu: "Naruto didn't bring back the Chakra armor from the Snow Country. He studied it a little last night. =_="

Shikamaru immediately asked out of curiosity: "How's it going? Did you find anything out of the research?"

Shenmu nodded: "Of course, I have prepared the drawings. Now I just need to wait for Raimon to help me make a sample."

On the side, Shikamaru twitched his lips when he heard this.

People say that his Nara family has high IQs, but in his opinion, Shenmu's brain is probably the best in the world!

Not only is he proficient in ninjutsu, he is also able to master sealing and illusion techniques at his fingertips! What’s outrageous is that he even knows Chakra technology very well!

"Shenmu, where did you learn these things in your mind?" Shikamaru asked curiously.

Shenmu yawned: "These things... are they useful to learn? (~￣△￣)~"

Shikamaru: "..."

"Oh, one more thing. Regarding your old sweetheart from Iwakage Village, Onoki seems to be planning to train her to become the Fourth Tsuchikage..."

Shenmu was stunned: "What about my old sweetheart..."

Shikamaru suddenly grinned: "Don't try to lie. During your succession ceremony, Kurotsuchi looked at you with eyes that were almost hairy..."

Shenmu has a black line on his forehead: "Where did you learn these terrible words? -_-||"

"Wait a minute, Kurotsuchi, is she the Fourth Tsuchikage? Is Onoki an old fool? (⊙o⊙)"

"Her father Huang Tu is not more suitable than her."

Shikamaru spread his hands: "Who knows, that old man Onoki may have his own plans.~_~"

After a while, Shenmu's eyes stopped on a certain ninja commission: "The missing case in the mine... I'll send Jōnin over to take a look..."

Shikamaru: "Okay..."
