Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

Fire Nation.

Konoha Village.

After the country-stealing war that shocked the entire ninja world, the highly technologically advanced Konoha Village where Hokage lived became the political and cultural center of the entire Fire Nation! !

Konoha Village now has a permanent population of more than five million, and it is still increasing year by year.

In such an environment, it is natural for housing prices to soar.

In Shenmu Park, little Sakura met her old friend Tiantian and they were sitting and chatting together.

Tiantian: "Fortunately, I am a native of Konoha Village and have real estate in the city center. Otherwise, in Konoha, where land is at a premium these days, I would not even have a place to stay."

After hearing this, little Sakura sighed with emotion: "That's right. If Shenmu hadn't given Sasuke a house back then, I would have to sleep on the bridge now."

"Since the stabilization of the ninja world, the number of commissions has decreased year by year. Most ninjas have been forced to engage in other professions. Although I work in a hospital, I am still hundreds of years away from buying a house."

"Speaking of Shenmu... is there any news about your Sasuke going out this time?" Tiantian asked curiously.

Little Sakura shook her head regretfully: "Thirteen years have passed since Shenmu left."

"The year after Sasuke left Shenmu, he volunteered to use the Rinnegan to collect information about Ōtsutsuki in the ninja world."

"That's what he says, but everyone knows what he means."

"The world Shenmu went to back then was the world where the Ōtsutsuki people lived, but no one knew the exact location. Sasuke wanted to find his best friends in this way..."

"In the past twelve years, he has visited various ruins in the ninja world, but he has never found any news about 'Takamagahara' and 'Yellow Spring Country'." At the end of the sentence, little Sakura let out a long sigh.

"I've suffered a lot from you these past years." Tiantian patted little Sakura's back gently.

Tears rolled in little Sakura's eyes. She grinned and said with a smile: "As long as he is willing to find him, I will always support him. "

…

Hokage office.

This place is no longer what it was twelve years ago, it was directly built into an office building.

In the largest office in the building, Naruto was correcting documents.

Not far from Naruto's seat, Konohamaru was lying on a smaller desk.

"That's it. These are the financial statements of the southern province for the past year. Take a look." Shikamaru, who had grown a beard, opened the door of the office and walked in with a stack of documents.

"Okay." Naruto took the document, browsed it carefully, and handed it to the desk next to him: "Konohamaru, look at what's wrong with this report."

Konohamaru took the document, browsed it carefully and said: "This report seems to be detailed, but in fact it has many loopholes and needs to be investigated carefully..."

Naruto nodded: "The southern province is seriously corrupt and it really needs to be rectified."

"Konohamaru, you lead people to do this. Once it is completed, it will be considered as one of your achievements... to save you from being a Hokage in the future and other people making irresponsible remarks."

"Hokage-sama, I..." Konohamaru was flattered.

"Don't shirk it. I have already decided on this matter. I will bring it up at the next meeting."

As he spoke, Naruto stood up and looked at the high-rise buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with memories in his eyes: "More than ten years ago, when Shenmu went to Takamagahara, I took over Konoha. At that time, I also felt that I had no idea where to start, so I just got used to it. It's just that Shenmu is not around, and I'm still not used to it..."

"A few years later, I realized the political failure of the Fire Country. The Fire Country was still relatively peaceful at that time, but bandits were everywhere and the people were displaced..."

"Shenmu once told me that if you think the world is not good, then try to change it and see the world with your own eyes."

"I saw the failure of the daimyo's politics, so I united the ninja and the army and launched the 'war against the country'."

"There were many people who opposed the daimyo, so the battle ended quickly. After that, 'Hokage' became synonymous with the 'monarch' of the Fire Country."

"But I don't like 'monarch' or 'hereditary', so the leaders of the Fire Nation after me will be elected by the people."

"And you, Konohamaru, you are the undisputed next Hokage in the minds of most people in the Fire Nation, and I feel the same in my heart. (ﾉ∇︎〃 )"

"Konohamaru, don't belittle yourself, you can do it. Not only are you an excellent ninja, you will also become an excellent politician in the future!"

"Don't forget, you are still his brother. ❛‿˂̵✧"

After Naruto finished speaking, Konohamaru nodded vigorously: "I understand, Hokage-sama!! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"Then you go down and make preparations for going to the southern province. We'll leave tomorrow." Naruto said.

"Okay, Hokage-sama!" After saying that, Konohamaru simply packed up the things on the table, opened the door and walked out of the office.

As soon as he left the office, he met an acquaintance and greeted politely: "Miss Ada."

Ada nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked straight into Hokage's office.

…

Orochimaru Research Institute.

Shortly after Naruto became the Hokage, Orochimaru was released from prison and cooperated with Amado and Katasuke in the development of many new technologies.

However, because Orochimaru had an eccentric and capricious personality, a separate research institute was built for him on the outskirts of the village.

"Lord Orochimaru, how is the new research going? Can we find Shenmu?" Xianglan, who was wearing glasses and a lab coat, asked expectantly.

Orochimaru was speechless: "Don't ask, you ask too, Tsunade asks too, and Jiraiya comes to ask from time to time."

“My snake head is getting big after asking. ╮(￣⊿￣)╭”

"Do you think wormhole travel is so easy to study?"

Xiang Phosphorus: "That's what you say, but you have been researching this technology for many years... Also, can we really find Shenmu with this technology?"

Orochimaru: "No, but this technology will allow us to move faster in space... As for finding Shenmu, it's up to you."

"In the aviation base located on the border of the Land of Fire, there is a spacecraft containing the sensory amplifier that Amado and I jointly developed."

"When you get to heaven, you can use the sensory amplifier to search for Shenmu's Chakra in the universe..."

"But the universe is so big, it's too difficult to find a person's chakra through perception."

"It would be great if Sasuke could find the specific location of Takamagahara in the Ōtsutsuki ruins, but looking at it now, there is little hope."

"Anyway, you should have less expectations. (||๐_๐)"

"I can't understand what's so good about that boy Shenmu that you have been thinking about him for so many years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

"Sir Orochimaru, you are saying that. You have made a lot of efforts to find Shenmu over the years, and you have spent time studying all kinds of strange things. ヽ(*´∀`)ﾉ" Xiang Lian said with a smile.

Orochimaru pouted: "I'm just curious about the universe and Ōtsutsuki."

"Of course, I'm also curious about why Shenmu, who is so strong and inhuman, has been mysteriously missing for so many years."

"I have quite complicated feelings towards him."
