Shinki's Ominous Premonition!

News of Orochimaru's plot to escape and cultivate embryos quickly reached Shinki's ears.

Thus, Orochimaru, who had just been released from Konoha Prison, successfully returned to the palace for the second time.

Even after being Prison, Orochimaru remained resentful. "Shinki, you shouldn't have hindered my scientific research!"

"Ignorance! Those who don't know how to make good use of their own strength are ignorant!!"

Shinki couldn't hear Orochimaru's roar, and even if he could, he probably wouldn't pay any attention.

At this moment, he was in the Hokage's Office discussing with everyone how to deal with the embryos Orochimaru had created...

Mitokado Homura suggested, "Let's just eliminate him... He shouldn't have existed in this world..."

"Who knows what Orochimaru intended to do by creating him..."

Tsunade immediately retorted, "Orochimaru is the one in the wrong, not him. The embryo has already developed into a fully formed embryo, equivalent to a five- or six-month-old fetus in a pregnant woman's womb. Doing this is murder..."

With that, Tsunade looked at the Shinki in the main seat. "Shinki, give me your opinion."

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Shinki, awaiting Shinki final decision.

After pondering for a long time, Shinki frowned and said, "Keep it."

Advisor Utatane Koharu immediately asked in confusion, "Keep him? Should we leave him unattended, or let Konoha raise him?"

"If you ask me, since we can't raise it or kill it, we might as well just leave it in the petri dish and pretend we didn't see it. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Shinki: "..."

"What a blatant act of self-deception!"

Utatane Koharu: "..."

Shinki thought for a moment and said, "Let's hand him over to the Konoha Research Institute. I'll have someone take care of him."

Tsunade nodded. "I agree..."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura sighed, "Then we have no choice but to agree."

Ever since Shinki became the Sixth Hokage, the two of them have become practically decorations in meetings; their words carry absolutely no weight...

However, these two old guys were also self-aware enough to know that it was now the era of the young, and they hoped that Konoha the leadership of the Shinki...

Wood Leaf Research Institute.

Katasuke looked at the petri dish that Shinki had brought with Katatsuke confusion and shock: (꒪⌓꒪)

"Lord Sixth, what do you mean by this?!"

Shinki: "I'm entrusting this child to you from now on. Don't let him die. Report any situation to me until he reaches the stage of a normal full-term delivery."

"I..."

Katatsuke wanted to decline the task, but before he could finish speaking, Shinki rejected him. "Make amends for your crimes. I haven't even punished you for the chip theft last time. (′д`σ)σ"

Katatsuke:´_>`

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

After explaining all the details about Katatsuke the child, Shinki returned to his Office and finished processing the remaining documents.

After everything was finished, Shinki glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's already 6:30..."

"Damn it, when will I ever be able to live a 9-to-5 life? ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶"

The next day.

Sasuke open the door to the Hokage's Office.

"Shinki! Look what good things I brought you! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"

Shinki looked up, his gaze falling on the Chakra Armor on Sasuke's body. "The Raimon was built so quickly?"

Sasuke nodded. "Absolutely. All company resources will be directed towards him; if he can't produce the product, there's no need to keep him."

Shinki asked curiously, "How much did it cost?"

Sasuke looked thoughtful. "All the expenses added up... it'll only be around ten or twenty million. ( ´▽` )"

Shinki: (⊙o⊙)

Wait a minute!

You call this 'just'?

Do you know how much money we have left? (ಠ.̫.̫ ಠ)

Sasuke, seemingly unconcerned, said, "This is the first one, after all. Some of the machinery and processes used to make armor require trial and error, so it's normal for the cost to be a bit high. The cost will definitely decrease later."

Shinki: "That's true... but after the Fourth Shinobi World War, the number of requests from Ninja Villages decreased, and it seems that the major Ninja Villages aren't very wealthy. How could they possibly spend so much money on a set of armor? ••"

Sasuke: "Are these armors only sold to Ninjas?"

Shinki: "Chakra Armor, who else would we sell it to if not Ninjas...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Shinki had a sudden inspiration. "That's it! Sell them to those wealthy and Nobles and Dignitaries their lives! (´◊ω◊`)"

"In that case, defensive capabilities alone are clearly not enough. Contact Katatsuke at the Konoha Research Institute later to see if we can mount offensive Scientific Ninja Tools onto the Chakra Armor... Try to make a batch before the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

Sasuke nodded. "Okay!"

Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

Killer B is pondering a new song. "The rhymes here are hard to handle... It doesn't flow smoothly when sung as a whole, and this 'heartbeat' is too cliché..."

After pondering for a long time, Killer B picked up the draft of his new song and began to sing. "Yo yo~ I am Killer B..."

Sudden!

"Whoosh--!"

A pitch-black spatial vortex appeared in mid-air!

Immediately afterwards, a huge human figure burst out from it!

The man was burly and wielded a red axe. He descended from the sky and cleaved towards Killer B!

The battle-hardened Killer B reacted instantly, quickly retreating to create distance.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Killer B realized something was wrong!

"Horns on your heads, and all dressed in pure white... you're here to send Otsutsuki Kaguya, aren't you?! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"

The big guy opposite: ▼_▼

"That traitor Kaguya doesn't even deserve to have me see her to her death!!"

"Hand over the Eight-Tails inside you!!"

In the primeval forest.

The Tailed Beasts lay dying on the ground...

Peaceful times pass quickly.

Before they knew it, it was the day before the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Because ample rest time is required, Examinee participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams arrive at the exam site the day before, along with the Daimyo who come to watch.

That morning, Shinki arrived at the Village Entrance early, looking up at the road leading to the Konoha Gate with a complex expression.

About half an hour later, Shikamaru arrived.

"You're here so early, are you here to greet guests? I thought you wouldn't come since you don't like diplomacy," Shikamaru said with a smile.

After saying that, Shinki remained silent for a long time.

Shikamaru: "Why aren't you saying anything? Did you get up too early? Are you grumpy in the morning?"

Several seconds passed after Shikamaru finished speaking before Shinki, who had been gazing at the distant sky, finally replied, "Shikamaru, I have a bad feeling."

Shikamaru clearly hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation. "What do you mean? I heard you're planning to showcase your company's newly created Chakra Armor after the Chunin Ninja Exams. Is Chakra Armor not acceptable?"

Shinki: ~_~

That's not what I meant.

"I have a feeling things will go wrong Chunin Ninja Exams..."

Shikamaru laughed, "Who would dare cause trouble in Konoha? Shinki, you must be exhausted these days. Go back and rest. I'll come pick them up..."
