Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

These days, with the help of Naruto and Kakashi, Uncle Dazuna's bridge repair progress has been much faster.

It's almost completed in just over ten days.

Naruto and Sasuke, on the other hand, are busy training these days, and can be said to be sleepless.

That night, excited Naruto and Sasuke opened Kakashi's door: "Kakashi-sensei, we finally succeeded. Now we can climb to the top of the tree!"

Kakashi showed a satisfied expression and patted the heads of the two little guys approvingly.

"The bridge will be completed soon. Since you two have completed your training, you two will accompany me to protect Uncle Dazna tomorrow and let Shenmu rest for a day."

Sasuke and Naruto have no objections to this

They also knew that during their more than ten days of training, Shenmu had been doing the protection task.

That guy Shenmu even helps the islanders build bridges every day.

I am so tired these days that I almost fall asleep after returning home.

Although he was tired, it could be seen that the guy seemed very satisfied.

Perhaps this is what Teacher Kakashi said: "Do what is right and cultivate yourself."

"Don't worry, you can let Shenmu rest peacefully tomorrow. Sasuke and I will be fully responsible for Uncle Dazuna's safety."

Naruto grinned, showing a big White Fang, and said confidently.

Now that the practice is complete, he feels that his control over Chakra has reached a higher level.

I hope Uncle Dazna will encounter something tomorrow so that he can show off his performance.

"Um."

Kakashi nodded and drove the two out.

…

The next day.

Shenmu worked on the bridge for more than ten days and was ordered to rest by Kakashi.

When Kakashi first told Shenmu, he refused.

Because Shenmu spent the time helping the islanders, although he was very tired, he lived a very fulfilling life.

And he did not give up on the cultivation of strength. During the labor process, he gained some insights and improved his control of physical skills and the use of Chakra.

In the end, Kakashi forced him to take a day off, and he continued to sleep.

Here, Shenmu had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the noisy sound downstairs.

Shenmu got up and went downstairs, and found Uncle Dazuna's daughter playing with two samurai...

The time came a few minutes ago.

The two samurai roughly pushed open the door of Dazuna's house, cursing and saying that they needed a hostage.

Then, the two set their sights on Uncle Dazna's daughter and wanted to take her outside.

At this time, a certain samurai discovered Inari's existence.

So, the two samurai began to discuss whether to kill the kid. After all, only one hostage was enough.

As soon as the two samurai came up with this idea, their lives were threatened by Dazuna's daughter.

She said that if the samurai dared to harm her son, she would bite her tongue and kill herself so that they would have no hostages to use.

Finally, the warriors, who did not want to cause trouble, had no choice but to take the woman out of the door.

Inari, who was hiding behind the door, saw all this clearly.

But out of fear, he never said a word.

In the end, he watched his mother being taken away by the warriors.

When Shenmu went downstairs, Inari's mother had been taken out of the door by two samurai.

Inari cried behind the door because of fear and self-blame.

Just when Shenmu wanted to step forward and ask about the situation, Inari, who was kneeling on the ground crying, suddenly stood up and clenched his fists.

He thought of what Shenmu said to him a few days ago.

"A hero protects what he values."

"This time, I won't run away anymore."

Inari said, rushing out the door.

Shenmu stood behind him from beginning to end. Seeing the change in the child's attitude, Shenmu was sincerely happy.

It seems that Inari has finally inherited his stepfather's will and is no longer afraid of retreating.

Of course, Shenmu didn't think Inari could save his mother from the two samurai, so he decided to help him.

In the woods outside Dazna's house.

Inari's thin body stood in front of two strong warriors.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you take my mother away."

Inari's voice trembled with fear.

But his movements and eyes were extremely firm.

Inari's mother looked at her son who had become a stranger, and in a trance, she saw the shadow of her husband.

Immediately afterwards, the woman's eyes became lonely, because he knew the fate of her husband.

"Inari, you have become just like your father."

"Hey, kid! We originally wanted to let you go, but since you are seeking death yourself, don't blame us for being rude!"

A certain samurai drew his katana from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Inari!

Seeing this, the woman repeated her old tactics and threatened, "If you dare to hurt my son, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide without hesitation!"

Another samurai who was responsible for escorting the woman struck the woman on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious: "Women are really troublesome."

Two samurai approached Inari.

Inari looked at the two ferocious warriors who were slowly approaching him, and stepped back tremblingly.

The warrior walking in front shook the long sword in his hand, with a playful and cruel look in his eyes: "Don't worry, kid, I won't kill you with one knife. I will chop off your arm first, and then chop off your body." Calf, let you..."

The samurai described his cruel killing methods with a nonchalant expression. He enjoyed the feeling of controlling other people's lives the most.

Listening to the bloody scenes described by the samurai, Inari was so frightened that his whole body shook like chaff.

"Don't touch me. There are a few ninjas responsible for protecting my grandfather. If they find out, you will be dead!"

Inari said, pretending to be calm.

The samurai sneered: "Haha... Ninja?"

"They're just a bunch of shady guys! Just let him come over and see if he can survive two blows from my katana!"

The warrior had just finished speaking.

Shenmu appeared behind Inari holding a kunai.

The two warriors looked at the kid who suddenly appeared and took two steps back in fear.

They noticed the forehead protector on the red-haired kid's head and confirmed his identity.

After reacting, the samurai saw that the other party only had a child, and immediately began to become arrogant again: "You are the ninja this kid said, right? You have red hair like a tomato."

Shenmu hates people using this title to refer to him the most: "Tomato? (ꐦ ಠ Dis ಠ)"

"Hey, are you still angry? Today I will show you how to cut tomatoes with a knife." A samurai showed his long sword and struck Shenmu in a flash.

After Shenmu started, he raised the kunai in his right hand and collided with the long knife.

"when!!"

Shenmu held a kunai in one hand and held the samurai's sword!

And with his other free hand, he quickly changed his handprints!

At this time, the warrior next to him also rushed up and slashed with his long sword!

Shenmu raised his head at this moment.

The forehead protector reflected the sun's light and dazzled the eyes of the two warriors.
