Shinki then asked the young man a few more questions, to which he answered honestly, though he didn't know much...

"You used to be Ninja... By the way, do you remember what that person looked like?" Shinki asked.

"He never showed his face from beginning to end. I only remember that he wore a mask, and the mask looked like an owl..." the young man replied with shame.

Shinki nodded and waved his hand. "Alright, I understand your situation."

"Considering this incident didn't cause any serious consequences, you'll report to the Konoha Detention Center yourself and be detained for a week."

The Hokage spoke, and the young man dared not disobey, so he walked away with his head hanging low.

Just as the young man was about to leave, Shinki asked curiously, "By the way, you work at a tech company and have gotten into this mess, what are your plans for the future?"

The young man shook his head, his smile forced, "I don't know, maybe I'll go out for a walk to clear my head."

Although the young man said he wanted to go out and have fun, Shinki could tell that he was shrouded in gloom and would probably commit suicide after he got out.

Thinking that saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, Shinki offered, "I own a company. If you don't mind, you can work for me."

Upon hearing this, the young man was overjoyed. "Really? Lord Sixth, is it possible for someone like me to serve you?!"

Shinki nodded. "Of course, our company welcomes every capable person."

By the way, I still don't know your name.

The young man spoke up, "Lord Sixth, you can just call me Raimon."

After speaking, Raimon left, while Shinki continued to ponder the series of events that had just occurred.

Why did the Masked Man instruct Raimon to strap Explosive Tags to his body and incite a riot?

What was his purpose? Was it simply evil?

Etc!

Is it possible that the man deliberately caused a Raimon at the bank entrance to attract everyone's attention, while he took the opportunity to do something else?

For example, stealing money from a vault?!

After figuring this out, Shinki quickly used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to the bank entrance, found the bank manager directly, and explained his purpose.

Upon hearing Shinki's question, the bank manager smiled and said, "Lord Sixth, you're overthinking it. Our bank vault uses the most advanced security technology. It's not only incredibly sturdy, but it also has temperature detectors. It will immediately sound an alarm if any living being is detected entering. Not even a fly can get in... (ノ∇︎ )

Despite the manager's explanation, Shinki was still uneasy.

Finally, at his repeated requests, the manager, though reluctant, led a group of people to help him open the vault.

Shinki breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the vault full and safe with all the banknotes.

The manager smiled confidently, "Well, Lord Sixth, you must have confidence in our bank's security system."

Shinki nodded. "It seems I was overthinking it. Let's close the vault quickly."

Just before the staff closed the vault door, Shinki noticed an open drawer in the corner of the vault and asked curiously, "Was that drawer always open? Your bank staff are so careless! (꒪⌓꒪)"

After asking his question, Shinki didn't hear a response from the manager for a long time. When he turned around, he found that the bank manager was covered in cold sweat! (≖╻≖;)

The manager, his voice trembling, ordered the staff around him, "Someone go and see what happened! How could this happen?!" Σ( ° △ °|||)

Ultimately, after an investigation by the staff, it was determined that the missing bank property consisted of Gemstone stored at the bank by a Ninja from the Iwagakure Village of the Land of Earth.

Upon hearing the news, the manager panicked. "Why didn't the vault alarm go off when the Gemstone were stolen?"

"Could it be that there's a mole within the bank? ∑(✘Д✘๑)"

"It's said that the Gemstone in Iwagakure Village is priceless, worth hundreds of millions per piece. The bank is going to lose a lot of money. What are we going to do... Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

Shinki, adding fuel to the fire, said, "It might even cause a serious diplomatic incident. All of this is due to your bank's negligence. You, the manager, might even go to jail. (◔◡◔)"

Upon hearing this, the manager grabbed Shinki's leg and pleaded, "Lord Sixth, you absolutely must help us with this!"

Upon hearing this, Shinki put on airs. He had just said those things to make the manager cooperate with his investigation.

"Let's call the Konoha Guard to come and investigate," Shinki said.

A few minutes later, the Konoha Guard found a note at the scene that read "White Night Group".

Shinki: "This group sounds familiar."

The Guard Unit captain said, "This is a newly formed gang of righteous thieves."

Shinki asked curiously, "A righteous thief?"

"It's like robbing the rich to help the poor, thinking you're doing a good deed," Shikamaru explained with a smirk, then added, "Someone who likes to cause trouble for others. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

Shinki looked at the Guard Unit and continued, "Can you find out where they are?"

The Guard Unit shook his head. "This gang of thieves operates all over the world, robbing one place and moving on to the next. Their whereabouts are unpredictable, making them difficult to track down."

Shinki nodded. "Okay."

Then, Shinki turned to the Guard Unit's technicians. "Have you figured out why the temperature alarm is malfunctioning?"

The technician put down his tools and said hesitantly, "The equipment is intact, without any signs of damage... It's possible that when the thief entered, his body temperature was outside the range that the temperature sensor alarm couldn't detect..."

The manager was stunned. "How is this possible? A person's body temperature isn't fixed at around 36 degrees Celsius. Even if it fluctuates, it won't stray outside that range. Besides, the temperature alarm's setting range is much wider than that."

Upon hearing this, the technician hesitated.

Shinki noticed his hesitation and said generously, "Just say what you want to say."

Technician: "There's a Kekkei Genkai that allows you to manipulate temperature and evade temperature alarm Surveillance Camera..."

Shinki's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

He already guessed the rest without the technician needing to say it.

Ice Release, this Kekkei Genkai allows control over extremely low temperatures...

He is the only one in Konoha known to possess Ice Release.

Shinki:=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)

Oh no! He's a criminal suspect!! (°Д°≡°Д°)

After hearing the technician's words, everyone in the room turned their attention to Shinki...

Shinki, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, was a hero who quelled the Fourth Shinobi World War and saved the Shinobi World. He is the undisputed strongest Shinobi World today!

Furthermore, the Sixth Hokage's obsession with money was also well-known...

Shinki: "Why are you all looking at me like that? (°ー°)"

After Shinki finished speaking, the Guard Unit looked thoughtful. "That shouldn't be the case..."

"The Lord Sixth holds a high position and wields great power; how could he lack such a small amount of money?"

The others echoed and agreed with the Guard Unit's point of view.
