The People Who Blew Themselves Up!

A few days later.

In the Park.

Hinata nestled in Naruto's arms.

After confirming their relationship, the Park became their regular dating spot.

Of course, since Naruto really loves Ichiraku Ramen also counts as one.

"Hinata, Hanabi has been coming to my house to deliver things to me lately. Did you do that?" Naruto asked.

Hinata was stunned when she heard this, saying she had no idea about it.

Naruto was incredibly surprised: (꒪⌓꒪)

"If you didn't send him, why does she keep bringing me things Tenten? ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞"

At this point, Naruto suddenly realized, "Could it be her...? This can't be! (ꈍᴗꈍ)"

Hinata could tell from Naruto's expression that he was overthinking things!

"Speaking of which, Hanabi has been asking me about Shinki lately. Maybe he's been sending you things as an excuse to see Shinki? (꒪⌓꒪)"

Hinata, being Hanabi's older sister, quickly figured out the crux of the problem!

Upon hearing that Hanabi wasn't interested in him, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, "Hanabi is five years younger than you, she just turned twelve this year..."

"Shinki is getting more and more difficult..."

Hinata: "I need to think of something..."

The Hokage's Office.

Sasuke, the Hokage's assistant, brought over another pile of documents. "Naruto dating. He hasn't been studying or helping out these past few days. →_→"

Shinki said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's all like this during the honeymoon phase, it'll be fine in a couple of days. ┐(´-`)┌"

As he spoke, he picked up a document and began to browse its contents.

Ino said that the Flower Shop's regular customers haven't been there lately, and she suspects there have been disappearances in the village...

After hearing Shinki's words, Sasuke shrugged and said, "It's probably just that business at the Flower Shop hasn't been good these past few days. Why bother reporting something like this..."

Shinki shook his head. "Ino isn't that kind of person. If she wasn't really acting strangely, why would she need to report here..."

"Maybe he just wants to see you?" Sasuke said matter-of-factly.

Everyone in the village knew about Ino's feelings for Shinki.

"No, no, no, Ino isn't the kind of person who acts recklessly. Let's go see her after work today," Shinki said, shaking his head.

Half a second later, he changed his mind. "Never mind, I'll just Shadow Clone to check on her now."

Soon, Shinki jumped out of the window and ran away.

Sasuke stood in the Hokage's Office, clutching the documents, a helpless expression on his face. "They're in such a hurry, something must be wrong. (ﾉ∇︎ )"

Ino Flower Shop.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha enjoyed peace and tranquility thanks to the presence of the Shinki.

Ino changed out of her tight Ninja outfit today and put on a short dress.

At this moment, Ino was diligently watering the flowers in her house...

"For some reason, we've been getting fewer and fewer customers these past few days. Several regulars haven't come... it's like they've disappeared..."

Ino muttered to herself.

The next moment, Shinki's voice rang out at the shop entrance. "Tell me in detail."

Ino: "Shinki, what brings you here? Is it because of the documents I submitted? ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Shinki nodded. "Tell me more about the missing persons."

Ino nodded. "That's right. Mr. Yamamoto is a businessman who runs a shop in Konoha. He often comes to my Flower Shop to buy flowers, but he hasn't come even once in the past week. I even went to check outside his shop and found it closed..."

Shinki frowned upon hearing this. "Is that so...?"

"Is it possible they moved?"

Ino shook her head. "Because we often visited each other, Mr. Yamamoto and my family were quite familiar with each other. If he suddenly moved, he would at least say goodbye..."

Shinki nodded. "I understand. Where is Mr. Yamamoto's shop? Take me there."

Upon hearing Shinki's words, Ino realized that Shinki wanted to investigate the case with her, and she was incredibly excited. "Great! I'll close the shop right now! (ﾉ∇︎ )"

Just then, several screams suddenly rang out from the street!

"What happened?" Shinki asked, pulling someone aside in confusion.

The man said anxiously, "Lord Sixth, some strange people have come to the Village Entrance. They walk like monsters!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

"Bang!!"

An explosion came from the Village Entrance. Shinki frowned and quickened his pace towards the Village Entrance: "Who dares to mess with Konoha?!" (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)

A few seconds later, Shinki ran to the Village Entrance, and I finally saw the strange man the passersby had been talking about.

There were seven or eight of them, clinging to the tightly closed gates of Konoha. Even though they were blocked, they kept moving forward!

What's even more bizarre is that these people's pupils are scarlet!

Just as Shinki was about to ask where these people came from, Ino arrived late, pointed to one of them and said in surprise, "Mr. Yamamoto!"

The next moment, the middle-aged man he pointed at turned around, grabbed the knife in his hand, and slit his own throat!

"Whoosh--"

A sharp weapon ripped through flesh, and blood gushed out!!

Immediately afterwards, a purplish-black substance was squeezed out of his wound and slowly enveloped his body!

Finally, it formed a purplish-black sphere!!

"Boom--!"

The Purple-Black Sphere exploded, blasting a hole in the gate of Konoha!

"What kind of technique is this? Controlling others to act as Human Bombs?"

Shinki narrowed his eyes slightly, Mangekyō Sharingan instantly activated!

"Genjutsu - Release!"

Because of the Human Bombs, six of the eight puppets were killed, and Shinki only managed to save two.

Finally, the villagers of Konoha identified them as people from Konoha!

Shinki didn't waste any time and directly used his Rinnegan to unleash the Aoki Takeru!

Next, he collected the flesh and blood of the dead and used his Wood Release: Wood Human Clone to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

Then, Aoki Takeru Shadow Clone used the Rinne Rebirth to give these Impure World Reincarnation person true life!!

After the whole process, the family members who had just been wailing and crying were stunned!

It was just a lump of minced meat a moment ago, and now it's alive?! (≖╻≖;)

"As expected of the Sixth Hokage!"

"The Sixth Hokage is the best!! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"Sixth generation, I love you!!"

Shinki later questioned those who had died in the self-destruction and discovered that they had no idea they had been used as Human Bombs!

"The trail ends here, it's going to be difficult to investigate..." Shinki murmured.

Shikamaru, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "This kind of Ninjutsu isn't recorded in any books..."

At that moment, Sasuke suddenly suggested, "Perhaps we could ask Orochimaru?"

Shikamaru nodded upon hearing this. "I think it's feasible. Orochimaru has been a defector from Konoha for so many years, and he's come into contact with all sorts of people outside. He might know something."

"The problem is, that guy's rebellious nature..., is he really willing to tell them the truth...?"

Neji immediately suggested, "We can buy information from Bounty Station, as long as we have the money..."

Upon hearing that money could be spent on information, Shinki immediately refused. "No need for that trouble. Orochimaru will agree to work for us. I'll take care of it! ( ´▽` )
