Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

The next day.

Shenmu got up unusually early and prepared to go out to buy some breakfast.

Wandering around the room, he found that Sasuke and Naruto had gotten up earlier than him and had left.

There was still a bit of fog on the streets in the early morning, but the bustling Konoha Village was already bustling with people.

After having a few bites in the shop, Shenmu came to Hokage's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a communication hawk appearing outside the window!

Soon, the letters from the front line were delivered to Shenmu by the code interpretation team.

Shenmu opened the letter and found that it was from Mr. Kakashi.

The letter stated that they had discovered the activity headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Order at the border of the Kingdom of Wind, and had also seen people suspected of being members of the Shell Organization's inner formation, and were currently continuing to observe them.

"As expected of a veteran ninja, he moves swiftly."

"The Shell Organization and the Ōtsutsuki... According to the teachings of the Ōtsutsuki Order, the purpose of the Shell is most likely to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, plant the sacred tree, and obtain the Chakra fruit... a group of people who are bewitched by power."

Shenmu replied to Mr. Kakashi and asked him to continue observing...

…

Somewhere in a desolate alien space.

There is a huge stone tablet and stone platform here.

There are various patterns carved on the stone tablets.

If someone looks carefully here, they will find that the horns drawn on these patterns are similar to the shape of the Ōtsutsuki people currently appearing in the ninja world...

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a strange roar appeared in the space, and the sound was mixed with endless humiliation and anger, which had obviously been suppressed for a long time.

After a while!

"Uh-huh!"

A pitch-black space door appeared out of thin air. Ci Xian, with pigtails in braids, passed through the space door. His body floated in mid-air and slowly landed on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he found the source of the sound and saw Ten Tails placed in the cage by himself...

"This temporary body is very inconvenient. I want to borrow some strength from you... The Sixth Hokage is now a poisonous thorn in my heart. It must be removed as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Ci Xian stretched out his hand...

"Wow——"

The raging torrent of Chakra was withdrawn from Ten Tails' body and absorbed into his own body!

…

Different space, Amado Laboratory.

Ci Xian just returned from Ten Tails who absorbed a lot of Chakra.

Amado was debugging a precise instrument. When he saw Ci Xian coming, he just said hello lightly: "You can sit wherever you like."

Ci Xian got straight to the point and said, "I want to go to Konoha..."

Amado echoed casually: "Go...wait! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

"Are you going to Konoha?"

"Cixian, even if you are worried about the container, you shouldn't be so reckless."

"You and I both know what the Sixth Hokage is capable of. If you fight against two Ōtsutsuki alone, you can revive the dead... With all due respect, you may not be his opponent. Think twice!"

Ci Xian was speechless when he heard this: "Of course I have my own plans when I go, and I'm not going to die in the past."

Amado stopped his debugging work, got himself a glass of water, and calmed down for a while.

After a long time, Amado raised his head and looked into Ci Xian's black and white eyes: "Okay, what help do you need from me?"

The two people here were busy planning when the laboratory door was suddenly pushed open!

The red-haired Calder and Diluda stood at the door and said excitedly: "Take us there too!"

Ci Xian: "You? You two can't come up with the same idea... (ー ー゛)"

"Call Boro."

…

Hokage office.

"Click!"

The door handle turns.

Immediately afterwards, a thin figure walked into the office. The person who came was the first grade student from the orphanage!

The first year of junior high school has been in Konoha Village for a while now. Under the careful care of Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou, this guy has obviously become a lot more cheerful. He even took the initiative to find the Hokage office today.

After discovering the kid's arrival, Shenmu already guessed what he was thinking without him having to say anything: "You want me to be your sparring partner?"

The first grade of junior high school nodded honestly.

Just at this time, Shikamaru walked into Hokage's office with a pile of information and gently nudged the first-year junior high school student with his elbow: "Kid, Mr. Hokage is very busy, how can he train with you every day... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

Chu Yi continued stubbornly: "But only if he trains with me, the power of 'Wedge' can be quickly thawed... Maybe it's because the two 'Wedges' resonate."

Shenmu nodded: "Okay then, I'll give you another Wood Clone to play with."

After saying that, Shenmu sealed, and a Wooden Golem split from his body!

Shenmu thought, the Wood Clone is exactly the same as the original body in appearance, demeanor, and even Chakra aura! It should have the same effect as the first grade training of the original body!

After receiving an exclusive sparring partner, Wooden Golem, the first grade of junior high school left happily.

Shikamaru put down the document and looked at Shenmu with a speechless face: "I didn't expect you to be easy to talk to in front of children..."

Shenmu grinned and said, "You're kidding, I'm easy to talk to in front of anyone, and I basically respond to everyone's requests."

Shikamaru stretched out his hand: "Borrow some money."

Shenmu refused: "What a beautiful idea!"

Shikamaru：▼_▼

Time flies and it’s noon.

Shenmu finally didn't have to go out to a restaurant today because Ino sent her a love bento made by herself.

After taking a bite of the sushi in the bento, Shenmu was surprised to find that Ino's cooking skills were getting better and better!

"tasty!"

Shenmu raised his head and looked at Ino.

Ino, who tied her long hair into braids today, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's delicious, I'll cook it for you tomorrow. Don't just eat sushi. You are so busy at work every day, so you need a balanced nutrition... (๑ت๑)"

Shenmu nodded and responded without hesitation.

At a certain moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed! It's like sensing something extraordinary!

Under Ino's confused gaze, Shenmu, who was halfway through his meal, looked at the palm of his hand.

There, the diamond-shaped 'wedge' mark suppressed by his sealing technique seemed to be a little darker!

"What happened?" Ino asked curiously.

Shenmu squinted his eyes and explained: "It feels like something is about to rush out from the palm of my hand..."

"I have put more than ten layers of seals on this weird wedge mark, and now one layer is about to be broken by the power..."

Ino: "Uh..."

There are more than ten layers of seals, and one layer is broken. It doesn't seem to be a big deal! →_→

But since Shenmu is so serious, Ino can only follow Shenmu's words and say: "How about adding a few more seals to it?"

Shenmu nodded, and with a "swish, swish, swish" operation, there was another circle of runes on his arm!

"Why did something that had been silent before suddenly appear abnormal today?"

"What's affecting it?"

Shenmu frowned and suddenly remembered the 'Wedge Resonance' that he had told himself on the first day of the new year a few days ago.

If the distance is close enough, Shenmu's wedge can also feel the abnormality that occurs in Chuyi's wedge!

"I gonna go see!"
