Hikaru Hokage

"The tailed beast was taken away, and the person is still alive?"

The fifth Raikage Darui showed a surprised expression on his lazy face.

"Ahem... Now that we're all here, let's talk about the main topic this time."

The tailed beast was stripped away, but the jinchūriki was still alive.

That's right, it was indeed the handiwork of this stinky brother Guang.

Tsunade subconsciously glanced back at Hino Hikari who was standing behind her, and then, feeling slightly guilty, changed the topic Ohnoki had just mentioned.

"Wait a minute, isn't this brother sitting down?"

Just when Tsunade calmly changed the topic, Mei Terumi, who didn't know what she was thinking of, suddenly pointed her finger at Hikaru opposite him.

"You are the strongest here. If you stand all the time, it will put too much pressure on me. I'd better sit down."

Chapter 20 An unbearable test

"Stop joking, why should I accompany you to do such a thing?"

Sasuke was holding a rose in his hand and was thinking about which girl to give it to later, but he was dragged away by Naruto who came out of nowhere, including the flower and the others.

"Sasuke, you also want to become stronger, right?"

After receiving Hikaru's test, the first companion that Naruto thought of... no, the companion that came to mind was Sasuke.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Of course Sasuke wanted to become stronger. The scene that day when someone choked him and couldn't move, and he couldn't even breathe freely, is still vivid in his mind.

But Naruto's plan was really stupid and outrageous.

Going to the Hokage Building to steal scrolls of forbidden arts or something, isn't this obviously seeking death?

"Because we are all in the same class, I will not report you to the security team, but you should give up this stupid idea. The security team includes ANBU ninjas, and it is not possible for a genin like you to..."

"Kakashi-sensei didn't seem to teach you ninjutsu either?"

Naruto interrupted Sasuke's tirade with one sentence.

"I saw it all. He just tested your ability to climb trees and tread water and then left."

"..."

Sasuke fell silent immediately.

Kakashi just asked him yesterday about the reason for opening his eyes, and then left after a little test of his chakra control level.

There was no special training or new ninjutsu for him as expected.

"In addition to our elite Uchiha clan, the members of the security force also have the Hyuga clan who are good at white eyes. Not to mention that my brother is also the captain of the security force. It is impossible to hide our every move from his eyes."

"This is it!"

Naruto

"Ok?"

"Your brother is the captain of the security force, right? Just ask him to turn a blind eye to us, right?"

"No, my brother is definitely not the kind of person who can bend the law for personal gain."

Sasuke shook his head without thinking.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Naruto also knew that relying on their strength alone, it was too slim to steal the most closely guarded forbidden technique scroll from the heavily guarded Hokage Building.

But if I can get Sasuke's help...

It should slightly increase the probability of success.

Brother Hino also said that he could find other companions to complete this test together.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Naruto knew in his heart that in terms of ninjutsu performance and strength, Sasuke was definitely higher than him.

"I know this kind of thing without trying it."

Sasuke weighed it and shook his head.

In any case, it is simply impossible for the two of them to steal the forbidden scroll.

"Then I will have to exclusively enjoy the high-level ninjutsu on the forbidden jutsu scroll. I heard that there are close to a hundred types of ninjutsu on it, and all of them are A-level or above."

"...Why don't you ask Sakura to join us."

Sasuke finally failed to resist the temptation of Ninjutsu.

"With Sakura's serious character, she will probably report us directly to Kakashi-sensei."

"Too."

"So, you're going to agree to do it with me?"

"..."

Somehow, looking at Naruto's smiling eyes, Sasuke felt angry.

"I heard from my brother that tomorrow is the Five Kage Conference. The Hokage Building may be less defensive by then. We will take advantage of that time to sneak in."

The Ninjutsu on the Forbidden Jutsu Scroll...

If you can really get it, you may soon be able to surpass... no, get your brother's approval.

There's just one thing -

"Naruto, why do you think this suddenly?"

Although Naruto was usually careless and lawless, it would have been impossible to think of such a thing if no one had mentioned it.

"Secret."

Naruto felt that if Sasuke told Sasuke that all this was Hikaru's test, he would definitely ask to learn the powerful S-level ninjutsu without seals with him.

This will not work.

Sasuke is already powerful enough. When the time comes to steal the Forbidden Jutsu Scroll, just let him see the ninjutsu on the Forbidden Jutsu Scroll, and don't compete with him for Hino-sensei.

"Since tomorrow is a good time, let's agree that we will meet here tomorrow morning! Then we can do it together!"

"You guy..."

Seeing Naruto leaving with a silly smile on his face, Sasuke suddenly had a bad premonition while veins appeared on his face.

I would actually agree to such a thing...

If it fails...Brother, he won't take me to jail with his own hands, right?

However, although he regretted his hot-headedness just now, now that he had agreed, Sasuke had no intention of going back on his word.

At the worst possible time, just pass the mastermind to Naruto, a fool. If he was just an accomplice, he wouldn't be in jail for too long.

"Is he the strongest?"

After hearing Terumi Mei's words, Darui glanced briefly at Hino Hikaru, who was standing behind Tsunade.

I still remember clearly the scene where the opponent and Nara Shikamaru intercepted them in the Land of Earth.

And the strength shown by the opponent at that time was nothing more than...

But it's just slightly higher than Samyi's level.

"Why, if you are not convinced, you can challenge my Hino brother now."

"No, I'm not here to fight."

Darui shook his head.

"The former Raikage is still unconscious and has not yet figured out the reason. I just came here to find out for myself whether this incident was really caused by Uchiha Madara as the rumors say."

"Who else could it be but Madara Uchiha?"

Before Tsunade could speak, Onoki focused his firepower on Uchiha Madara.

Having lost two tailed beasts at once, Ohnoki now hated Madara Uchiha deeply.

Of course, if he met Uchiha Madara in person, his hatred might not be as strong as it is now.

"I heard that the previous Mizukage-sama was in a coma just like Raikage-sama, right?"

"Yes."

Terumi Mei nodded.

More than ten years have passed, and it is hard to say clearly whether Goju Yagura's coma is a good thing or a bad thing for Kirigakure.

"To be able to defeat the Raikage and Kazekage at the same time, and still in this way, I think no one in the entire ninja world can do it except Uchiha Madara."

Ohnoki glanced at Hino Hikaru, who was sitting around the table like the other five figures nonchalantly.

so young...

After the yellow flash, there is such a more powerful new generation of young ninjas appearing. Konoha's heritage is indeed very strong.

But when it comes to being the strongest...

Only the first generation Hokage had this qualification.

As for now.

Although Ohnoki is old and his waist is useless, he still has the art of dust escape and peeling off.

He thought to himself that no one present could stop him head-on.

"..."

It's not impossible. For example, Hikaru Hino can...

Terumi Mei silently complained in her heart.

Then he quietly took off his high-heeled sandals.

-

"?"

Hino Hikaru was quite puzzled at first as to why Terumi Mei had to let her sit down.

It wasn't until he sat down that a pair of delicate feet painted with light red nail polish was stuffed into his arms.

It's sparkling, the color is just right, and it has a rose scent.

Although the owner of these feet did not show any movements on his face, Hino Hikari recognized the owner of these tender feet at a glance.

Because the nail polish on his toes was painted last night at the request of the other party.

but……

This is the site of the Five Kage Conference. Everyone present is an elite ninja above Jounin. Even if no one can see such a small gesture, even if it is blocked by the table, how can it be hidden from those who are paying attention to the Mizukage Terumi and Mei? Where are his people?

For example, right now...

Hino Hikaru subconsciously looked back at Tsunade beside him.

The other party was staring at him with quite kind eyes, and his hands were ready to pinch his weak spot.

But before reaching out to "punish" him, Tsunade finally remembered that this was the conference room where the Five Shadows were meeting, not in her Hokage's office, let alone at home.

So she just secretly made a gesture of grasping towards Hino Hikari, and then looked at Terumi Mei with a cold eyebrow.

snort!

Terumi Mei was really bold to do such a thing in front of me during the Five Kage Conference.

Tsunade regretted not choosing a wider table.

Otherwise, Terumi Mei wouldn't be able to stretch her feet out from under the table even if her legs were twice as long.

"Without further ado, we can't ask Madara Uchiha for confirmation about the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Mizukage right now. Rather than that, let's talk about the Jinchuuriki and the future cooperation."

There was no way, since there was no way to stop it, Tsunade could only help cover it up.
