Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

Hokage office, rooftop.

The Noble Phantasm Plow of the Ōtsutsuki clan waved its short feet, probably to wipe the tears from the corners of its eyes, but unfortunately the feet were too short and could not be reached.

[Thank you to my benefactors for setting me free. 】

Turtle's voice trembled.

"You little bastard has a lot to do, so hurry up and leave." Tsunade waved his hand nonchalantly.

Turtle nodded, and after taking one last look at Shenmu next to him, he opened the time channel and disappeared.

On the rooftop, Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes: "It's so touching!"

"I don't know when I will see it again."

Sasuke was speechless: "What's so touching? Hey, it's not even an animal... (ー_ー)!!"

…

On the other side, the plow in the time tunnel thinks about where to go next.

"To a time when a benefactor existed."

"I want to know how someone so powerful grows."

…

Time flies, more than a month has passed.

In Hokage's office, Shikamaru opened the door and walked in: "I made you a cup of tea, take a sip."

Seeing that Shenmu didn't move, Shikamaru continued: "Since that little turtle left, you have always stood in front of the window and watched. Shenmu, what are you waiting for?"

"It took me too long to read the document. I'm just taking my time." Shenmu replied with a chuckle without looking back.

Outside the window, a communications hawk flew by.

Shenmu reached out out of curiosity!

"Wow!!"

Under the influence of the Expansion Jutsu, his palm became larger and he grabbed the communication eagle.

Behind Shenmu, Shikamaru was drinking tea and almost spit out his tea: "Be gentle, it's very difficult to train a communication eagle... Wait, in this day and age, why are you still using communication eagles to deliver messages? (´°Δ°`) "

"Is it that old guy Ohnoki again?"

While Shikamaru was talking, Shenmu had already taken off the letterbox from Communication Eagle's hand.

After browsing it, Shenmu lightly patted Shikamaru on the shoulder: "Shikamaru, come and take a look!"

Shikamaru curiously stretched his head over and scanned the contents of the letter...

"Kurori's letter asking for help? He is the person who took away the belongings of the Raccoon Dog Bandits some time ago. How could his letter asking for help be sent to Konoha? ⊙▽⊙"

Shenmu: "The Raccoon Dog Bandit Group? I seem to have some impression."

Shikamaru threw up his hands helplessly: "Did you process too many files and your memory was confused?"

"The Raccoon Dog Bandit Group is quite famous for committing crimes in major countries. The Kingdom of Thunder organized several arrest operations but failed to catch them."

"And this bandit group is extremely mysterious. Because of the existence of the blood alliance, they will immediately get rid of the captured members to prevent the information of other members of the bandit group from leaking..."

"The only members they have exposed now are Heili, who absconded with the money some time ago... and Yue Ye, who was mentioned in this letter."

After hearing this, Shenmu glanced at the letter in his hand again: "Heili in the letter said that he was captured by Caoyin Village and imprisoned in Ghost Light City. Now Yue Ye from the bandit group has also entered Ghost Light City as a prisoner. He is here to get rid of him. If you lose him, he will apply for Konoha's protection..."

"As long as we can protect him, he is willing to contribute the information of all the members of the Raccoon Dog Bandit Group, and he is also willing to pay us!"

"He took away the belongings of the raccoon dog bandits, so he must be very rich now! (´◊ω◊｀)"

Shenmu's eyes gradually brightened.

He turned around and found Shikamaru next to him looking embarrassed.

"Oni Lantern City is a prison specifically for criminal ninjas. It is located on an island near Kusanagi Village. It has a special status in the ninja world..."

"It's a bit difficult to ask for people from them," Shikamaru said.

Shenmu, who never believed in evil, nodded after listening to Shikamaru's introduction.

Shikamaru thought Shenmu had changed his gender: "Abandon this mission?"

Shenmu shook his head: "No, I'm going to go and see for myself. ୧⍢⃝୨"

…

The land of grass.

The entrance to Ghost Lantern City.

A new group of prisoners arrived today.

The city lord Wu Chang puts the mark of ‘Fire Style·Heavenly Prison’ on every new prisoner.

This kind of mark can restrict the ninja from condensing Chakra, and when the criminal ninja attempts to escape from Ghost Light City, the Heavenly Prison curse mark will also turn into a chain of flames, burning the offender's body.

It wasn't until the city lord was about to put a mark on the last ninja that he froze.

"Wait, have I seen you somewhere?"

Shenmu said seriously: "I am the new prisoner from the Fire Country, Uchiha Sasuke..."

After hearing this, the city lord Wu Chang was stunned: "Uchiha Sasuke? You are not..."

Shenmu grabbed the conversation: "No matter who I was before, I am now an ordinary prisoner in Ghost Lantern City..."

The city lord accepted this reality and retreated silently: "Afterwards, the warden Benjia will explain the specific precautions to you newcomers."

Soon, a fat man with big arms and round waist appeared in front of Shenmu: "I am the warden Benga. In Ghost Lantern City, you only need to remember two things!"

"1. The warden is the rule of this prison!"

"Two, don't forget the first point even if you die!"

…

The next day.

Fire Nation, Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

Sasuke pushed the door open and walked in. After discovering that the person lying on the desk was Shikamaru, he asked curiously: "Where is Shenmu? He didn't come home last night!"

Shikamaru rubbed the dark circles under his eyes: "He went on a mission and should be back soon..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shenmu, wearing a prison uniform, appeared in Hokage's office carrying two people!

Sasuke: "Are you... caught for committing a crime?"

Shenmu shook his head with a guilty conscience: "This matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you later."

Then, he pointed at the long-haired man on the ground who was brought back by him, and said to Shikamaru: "This is Kurosato who sent them the letter... I will examine it carefully."

…

A few minutes later, the Hokage's office.

After receiving the news from the Country of Grass, Tsunade opened the door angrily: "Sass!! Come out! (′д｀σ)σ"

Sasuke was stunned when he heard this and pointed at himself: "Me? I didn't do anything! (≖╻≖;) "

Tsunade: "You're still pretending to be innocent! The phone number I got from the Country of Grass is almost broken!"

"You entered Ghost Lantern City today, took away two of their important prisoners, and seriously injured the warden..."

"It's really yours, Sasuke, a kid who usually seems quite honest actually did such a thing! ꐦ≖ ≖"

After hearing this, Sasuke finally came to his senses.

I think of Shenmu's dusty appearance when he came back just now, wearing prison uniform, and two prisoners...

He did this and didn't run away!

"Fifth Generation, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't do this...꒦ິ^꒦ິ"

…

Konoha Prison.

trial room.

After Shenmu read Heili's memory, his expression was shocked.

"I didn't expect that this guy was actually a good person. After discovering that he had unknowingly helped the raccoon dog gang to do many evil things, he took the money and ran away, and then donated all the ill-gotten gains..."

"It's a pity that there is no mission reward!"

Soon, Shenmu woke up the unconscious Heili and pointed outside the cell: "Go away, don't lie to others next time! (*Ӧ)σ"
