Moreover, the Hokage is, after all, the head of the village, the supreme leader, and must also be the spiritual leader of all Konoha ninjas.
Therefore, the Hokage must absolutely not have any blemishes on his record...
Thinking of this, Shin'un raised an eyebrow, and a gloomy man with bandages suddenly popped into his mind.
"Yes..."
Shin'un suddenly realized and turned to look at Nara Shikahito beside him.
" Nara- senpai, the Lord Hokage really can't get involved in this matter."
"But I thought of someone else who would be absolutely perfect for doing something that might offend people."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Nara Shikahito raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:
"You mean?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Shin'un smiled and said:
" Konoha advisor, Root's head, Shimura Danzō."
Upon hearing the name Shimura Danzō, Nara Shikahito's tightly furrowed brows immediately lifted, his eyes widened, and he clapped his hands together in sudden realization.
"Smack!"
"Yes!"
How could I have forgotten about it?
" Danzo has seniority and status, and also possesses certain methods. He has long been infamous in Konoha... his reputation is widespread."
Turning around, Nara Shikahito patted Shin'un on the shoulder and said:
"Yes, yes, he is indeed the most suitable person to handle this matter, more suitable than anyone else in Konoha."
Shin'un nodded and added:
"Moreover, no one is more experienced than him in taking the blame and offending people."
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Nara Shikahito nodded and exchanged a smile with Shin'un.
A week later, Shimura Danzō arrived with a grim face and a hundred Root ninjas, immediately taking over the custody of all the Sand Ninja prisoners.
That day, Nara Shikahito called Shin'un to greet Danzo outside the Danzo.
Unfortunately, Danzo remained silent and expressionless throughout, showing no kindness whatsoever.
Of course, Shin'un fully understands this.
After all, you can't expect a pleasant face from someone who comes here specifically to take the blame.
The next day, Danzo announced that anyone who killed Sand Ninja prisoners would be treated as missing-nin.
After this order was issued, far fewer Konoha Ninja went to Nara Shikahito to request the execution of the Sand Ninja.
However, Shin'un heard that on the day Danzo announced the order, several bold Konoha Ninja gathered in front of Danzo's tent and stood there cursing loudly.
It was originally a minor matter; the Root ninjas could have easily captured these people.
Unexpectedly, more and more people gathered, and eventually nearly a hundred people surrounded Danzo's tent. The imposing shouts of these hundred ninjas could be heard throughout half the camp.
Because all the Root ninjas were guarding the Sand Ninja prisoners, Danzo only had a small team of nine men with him, and he couldn't get rid of them for a while, so he was scolded for several hours.
Unfortunately, Shin'un was dragged out of the camp by Yūichi to see his three teammates that day and was unable to witness this grand occasion.
Finally, Nara Shikahito couldn't stand it any longer and personally went to Danzo with a megaphone to persuade the hundred Konoha Ninja gathered around the tent to go back.
Otherwise, Danzo might have fallen asleep that night amidst the warm greetings of numerous Konoha Ninja.
Three days later.
Chunin Nara Shikahito's orders, a Konoha left the command tent in the center of the camp, checked his bearings, and then Body Flicker Technique disappeared eastward.
After passing by thousands of Konoha Ninja, some busy and some leisurely, the Chunin quickly left the camp and headed straight for a stone forest a kilometer away.
Soon, the Chunin arrived at their destination, and a faint smell of burning quickly reached their noses.
Leaping onto a boulder, the Chunin around in amazement at the numerous traces of Lightning Release attacks scattered throughout the surrounding stone forest.
"Oh My God..."
The ground was riddled with pits, and the surrounding stone forest had collapsed, with countless pebbles scattered all over the ground.
As far as the eye could see, there were charred marks from being scorched by electric current. Many rock surfaces were cracked due to the high temperature. The usually humid air of the Land of Rain seemed to have become dry here.
"Sizzle~"
A faint crackling sound came from afar, catching the attention of the Konoha Chunin.
Looking at the scene before him, the Chunin sighed inwardly once more before leaping off the boulder and leaving.
Following the hum of electricity, the Chunin traversed several stone forests before a figure crackling with electricity came into view.
The electric current emanating from its body swirled around it for tens of meters, the dense currents creating a scorching effect that baked everything around it.
Upon seeing this scene, the Chunin swallowed hard and shouted:
" Lord Hirakawa!"
"Um?"
In the distance, Shin'un, who was standing on a flat area created by Lightning Release, was taken aback.
After slightly slowing the flow of Chakra within his body, Shin'un opened his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Perhaps because the flow of Chakra within his body had not yet subsided, Shin'un's eyes flashed with lightning as he looked at the Chunin, bringing immense pressure.
Seeing this, the Chunin swallowed hard again and forced himself to speak:
" Lord Hirakawa, Lord Nara requests your return."
Lightning flashed in his eyes, Shin'un frowned.
" Nara- senpai?"
"Phew~"
Exhaling, Shin'un adjusted his Chakra, withdrawing all the fine electric currents circulating throughout his body, and said to the Chunin not far away:
"Okay, I'll be back later."
Upon hearing this, the Chunin, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.
Watching the departing figure of the Chunin, Shin'un narrowed his eyes, secretly speculating in his heart.
" Nara- senpai is looking for me... Has the official document of Sunagakure's surrender arrived?"
Shaking his head, Shin'un walked to a nearby boulder and sat down.
After studying Lightning Release, although he still had plenty of Chakra, he was mentally exhausted because he had to constantly adjust the flow of Chakra within his body.
"Let's wait, it's not like I have to be there anyway."
A thought flashed through Shin'un's mind. He stared at the sky for a few seconds, then suddenly had an idea and opened the Skill Editor panel.
Skill Name: [Input Field]
Skill effect: [Input bar]
Equipped skills: [ Extreme Reaction ], [ Lightning Release Mastery ], [ Qi Sea ], [ Diligent Study ]. (Click on the skill name to view details.)
Loading: [ Bloodline Essence ] (Progress: 0.1%) (Click the skill name to view details)
His gaze swept across the illusory skill panel in front of him, finally settling on the two skills: [ Diligent Study ] and [ Bloodline Essence ].
"It wasn't easy."
Shin'un shook his head, somewhat sighing.
Three days ago, after several years, the [ Diligent Study ] skill was finally loaded.
Its effect is very simple and direct.
Simply put, as long as he perseveres in learning and researching a certain field, he will inevitably become a genius in that field.
Three days ago, after the [ Diligent Study ] skill was fully loaded, Shin'un immediately greeted Nara Shikahito and ran to the stone forest a kilometer away from the Konoha camp to try to practice Lightning Release.
The results were remarkable.
Now that [ Diligent Study ] has just finished loading, Shin'un originally thought that his Lightning Release Ninjutsu, which he had been practicing for a long time, would not be included in the scope of [ Diligent Study ]'s blessing.
As a result, three days ago, Shin'un arrived at this stone forest and immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as he began practicing Lightning Release.
Not only did he gain more control over his Chakra, but it was as if a fountain had sprung up in his brain, from which a constant stream of inspiration flowed.
Although this inspiration is only focused on the field of Lightning Release.
However, this was enough to benefit Shin'un greatly.
For example, Body Transformation into Lightning, the railgun, orbital bombardment, and the Yang Release Thunder Beast...
