The Konoha Bank Robbery!

Two weeks later.

Shinki was handling official business in the Hokage's Office, while Naruto sat on the sofa next to him and chatted with him.

Naruto: "I didn't expect Kabuto to be such a competent director of this Orphanage; I haven't seen anything wrong with him in half a month."

Just then, Shikamaru walked into the Office carrying the documents, smiling as he said, "Shinki arranged for Yakushi Nonō to meet with him, how could he not do his best?"

Naruto asked curiously, "Yakushi Nonō? That name sounds familiar. (‧_‧?)"

Shikamaru: "She was Kabuto Yakushi's adoptive mother, the former headmistress of the Konoha Orphanage, and also an outstanding spy within 'Root'."

"Later, due to Danzo's scheme, she and Kabuto fought each other, and she was killed by Kabuto. From then on, Kabuto began his descent into depravity..."

Naruto was furious after hearing this. "Just how many other evil deeds has Danzo done behind the scenes?! ╰_╯"

Shinki: "He himself can't even count them all. ┐(´-`)┌"

Half a day later, Shinki finished his morning work and prepared to have lunch and rest properly.

On the way, Shikamaru casually mentioned, "I heard that the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, intends to groom that bespectacled boy to be the Sixth Mizukage."

Naruto: "Little glasses? That Chōjūrō?"

Shikamaru: "Yes, the user of the Hiramekarei. I wonder if he can keep Kirigakure stable after taking office."

Shinki nodded. "Kirigakure, formerly known as the Village of Blood Mist, has undergone many changes Mei Terumi, but it's not a place that just anyone can keep under control."

"... It's still a long way off for him to succeed; Mei Terumi will probably pave the way for him before then."

"By the way, is Mei Terumi married now?" Shinki suddenly asked.

Shikamaru shook his head. "There's no news on that." ┐(´-`)┌

As they chatted, the group arrived at the entrance of the Konoha New Bank.

Shikamaru, noticing the odd expression on Shinki's face, asked curiously, "What's wrong? (⊙o⊙)"

Shinki shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm just curious about the bank's security measures. I wonder if it will be stolen, since the Konoha have all their savings here."

Shikamaru laughed, "You don't need to worry about that at all. It's rumored that the new bank's vault can withstand the explosion of thousands of Explosive Tags..."

Shinki: "What if the opponent has Chakra Blades, Truth-Seeking Orb, or the Rinnegan?"

Shikamaru was speechless. "Are you revealing your identity? ←_←"

"There are only a few people in this Shinobi World with your strength!"

With that, Shikamaru forcibly pulled the Shinki away.

Shinki reluctantly looked away from the bank entrance, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

Soon, the three arrived at the Konoha Barbecue Restaurant.

Here, they saw an old acquaintance Choji.

Shinki: "Does Choji's family live at the Barbecue Restaurant? I see him every time I come here."

Shikamaru: "He simply likes to eat grilled meat."

Suddenly, Shikamaru's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Choji across from him. "Look, isn't that a girl sitting there?! ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!"

The inquisitive Naruto took two steps forward and saw the dark-skinned beauty sitting opposite Choji: "Hmm... she looks familiar..."

Shinki took a closer look and realized that the dark-skinned beauty was indeed someone he knew!

Karui, Killer B's disciple!

Shinki grabbed Naruto Shikamaru: "Let's eat at another restaurant, don't disturb their date."

Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

As soon as Shikamaru entered, he saw the poster of the Shinki hanging on the wall.

The poster depicts Shinki holding chopsticks, seemingly hearing someone's call, its face half-turned, revealing a perfect profile...

Next to the poster of Shinki, there's a picture of Naruto eating noodles without any regard for his image...

Naruto: "This is such a blatant discrimination! Why is Shinki's photo so handsome, while mine is... well, let's just say it's not great. ∑(✘Д✘๑)"

Shinki comforted him, "This photo makes the food look even more appetizing, I think it's pretty good...Ծ ̮ Ծ"

Naruto: "Don't try to fool me."

Halfway through his Ramen, Shinki heard a commotion outside!

"Go quickly, something's happened at the bank!"

"Someone has detonated Explosive Tags on their person; they're planning to rob a bank!"

"That's terrible! Is he starving? How could he do something like that! (꒪⌓꒪)"

"There could be other pressures as well!"

Shikamaru asked, "Shall we go take a look?"

Shinki nodded.

Logically, this kind of thing shouldn't require Shinki's personal intervention; the Konoha Guard should handle it.

But he is the Hokage now, so since he heard about it, he naturally has to do something about it.

Outside Konoha Bank.

The Guard Unit are in a standoff with the criminals.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the cordon.

Shinki looked at Shikamaru and said smugly, "See, my worries came true."

Shikamaru: "Let's think about how to resolve this. (ー_ー)!!"

Inside the bank, a young man covered in Explosive Tags peeked out, saying in a panic, "Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll explode!"

Shinki then stepped out from the crowd, looking directly into the young man's eyes. "Tell me your demands. What do you need to do to prevent you from exploding?"

Upon seeing Shinki's face clearly, the young man froze. "Sixth... Lord Sixth!"

Shinki: "It's me. Tell me what you want."

The young man couldn't answer this question about Shinki; he stammered for a long time without being able to give a proper answer.

The next moment, Shinki activated his Dōjutsu, and Aoki Takeru Shadow Clone appeared behind the youth, tearing off the Explosive Tags tied to his body with a "whoosh!"

Afterwards, the Shadow Clone used the Flying Thunder God to take the young man away and disappear, thus ending the bank robbery.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and people began to discuss the matter.

"How boring, it ended just like that. I thought he was really going to self-destruct. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

"Yes, it's not lively at all."

"If you're going to explode, just do it already. Why waste everyone's time standing there? ▼_▼"

Shinki, upon hearing these comments from those who seemed to enjoy stirring up trouble, became so angry that he punched each of them.

"If you say that again, I'll strap Explosive Tags to your bodies! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

After finishing these tasks, Shinki returned to his Office.

Inside the Office.

With the Shadow Clone holding the young man captive, Shinki took a sip of tea and slowly asked, "Why did you strap Explosive Tags to your body when robbing a bank?"

"What's bothering you so much? Tell me properly."

Almost every member of Konoha's younger generation worships the Shinki, and this young man was no exception. After hearing the Shinki's question, he recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail.

"I work at a tech company in my village. I work diligently and conscientiously every day, but my boss not only makes me work overtime every day, but also plagiarizes my work. I'm under too much pressure and don't want to live anymore. (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

Shinki nodded. "Okay, I understand the problem. I'll hang your boss on Streetlight later."

"But I still have a question. If you're so desperate, why didn't you go to a purple clay pottery shop, or hang yourself or jump off a building? Why would you tie Explosive Tags to yourself and rob a bank? (º Д º*)"

The young man pouted, "That's what I thought too, but someone told me I shouldn't die so hastily... (* /ω*)"
