Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 420 But He Called Me Hokage
Although the tranquility of the night is enough to touch his heart, Luke actually prefers the daytime.

Whether it is the energetic morning, the sunny noon, or the tipsy feeling of sunset at dusk, it is quite attractive.

Although not as big a change as a child, Acorus has also grown a lot in the past two years.

Her beautiful facial features are brighter and more elegant, her skin is so white that it seems to be glowing, and her every frown and smile carries the youthful aura of a girl.

This is normal. During the two years in the Iron Kingdom, Lu Ke would come back from time to time to take care of and care for the little poplar at home.

Although most of the natural treasures will be wasted, with the persistence over time, Acorus has become different in terms of life level. If he wants to become stronger, he can just train for a period of time and he will probably become much faster than the protagonist with cheats.

However, this tiny improvement is just a slight improvement for Lu Ke. He used to fail miserably after writing hundreds of thousands of words, but now he can persist until he reaches one million words before failing.

The two of them discussed and studied together, from noon to night, and then from night to the next morning. Finally, Acorus, who was floating in the ocean of knowledge, could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

“We still have to keep working hard…”

Luke opened the window to let the stale air out, and he felt as refreshed as putting on new underwear in the new year!
The brief afterglow was spent in the burning of tobacco. Lu Ke slowly put on his clothes and came to the living room, where he saw Qianchuan Guang who was counting the goods.

The child sorted kunai, shuriken, senbon, kamasa-ryoshi, hyouryo pills and other items into different categories and placed them on the shelves. Then he took out small bags and put some of the ninja tools in them.

"Good morning."

After rubbing the stupid brother's head out of habit, the other party came back to his senses from work and obediently let his hair be messed up, with a bit of grievance.

"Brother, this is too much. You always use me as a shield..."

"Sorry, sorry, I won't do it next time."

Lu Ke apologized mercilessly, "Is it not difficult for you to hit me after I left? You are just a child after all."

Qianchuan Guang thought for a moment and said, "It's not that it's difficult for me. It's just that I entered the store with my left foot first and became an illegal resident of Ichiraku Ramen. I'm not allowed to enter again in the future."

Lu Ke: ...Isn't this a blatant embarrassment?
Lu Ke sighed silently, thinking that although his future father-in-law was a good cook, he was really stupid.

Doesn't he know that in order to target him and his stupid brother, his daughter will come back at night... um... during the day and at night?

Glancing at the small bags tied up in front of his stupid brother, Lu Ke asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Prepare the tools in advance for the customers who have reserved them. They can pick them up directly when they arrive. This saves time and effort. The business in our store is so good that we would not be able to handle it if we don't do this."

Qianchuan Guang explained while loading the goods, "This was your previous idea."

"Ah...I've forgotten."

Lu Ke rubbed his head and said, "If you think it's troublesome, you can just close the store. The profits from the ninja tool store are of no help to our family now."

Qianchuan Guang's eyes widened, "So confident! Could it be that you have made a lot of money in the Iron Country in the past two years, brother?"

Lu Ke thought about it and said, "About the same."

"Is it true that blacksmithing can make so much money..."

Faced with such childish words, Lu Ke smiled but said nothing.

In any world, apart from unsustainable plundering such as exhausting the resources, the fastest way to increase wealth is to do business within the rules.

The arsenal he opened in the Iron Country can produce ninja tools on a fully automatic assembly line. The quality of the ninja tools is far superior to the goods on the market. Even the economy of the entire Iron Country has been boosted. It is estimated that even Konan, the richest woman in the ninja world, cannot match the assets he holds.

Unexpectedly, after learning that he had become the first generation of rich people, Chundi cheered excitedly for a short time, but then said that he wanted to continue running the store.

In his words, one always needs to do something to pass the time. His father and mother have gotten used to running the shop, and with Lu Ke around, they don't have to do any physical labor, so they are living a pretty comfortable life now.

From now on he can be more arrogant and won't care about the customers' feelings anymore.

Hearing this explanation, Lu Ke did not refute it.

The Ichiraku Ramen shop next door is also making a lot of money, but it has remained open for decades, welcoming every hungry customer... except these two brothers.

"Besides, I want to inherit my brother's craft!"

Although still childish, the child's tone was extremely serious when he said this, and there was a gleam of longing in his dark eyes.

Luke thought for a while and nodded gently, "Since you think so, I will teach you the forging skills later. Remember to learn well."

"it is good!"

…………

A wide and flat training ground.

Tsunade, wearing a green windbreaker, stood in the dugout outside the stadium, next to her stood Shizune, who was holding a pink pig.

Behind her, the abdicated Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a pipe, while Danzo Shimura, whose lower half of his face was replaced by steel and looked even more sinister, was silent.

This pair of retired good friends are still performing a drama that seems to be entangled with fate, but after losing the halo of "Hokage" and "Root Leader", the two can no longer perform the "I'm angry and you regret" performance of the pure bloodline certificate.

"Teacher, what are you doing here?"

Ignoring the gloomy Danzo Shimura next to her, Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen somewhat helplessly.

"Haha, I heard that you are going to appoint a chief of the Ninja Tool Department. I'll come to observe and give you some support."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was puffing out smoke with a smile on his face. After taking off his divine robe, his short figure looked like an ordinary old man at first glance, without any airs at all.

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan has signed a contract with the Ninja Cats and can provide excellent ninja tools. They are the most suitable candidates for this position. You are simply abusing your power by suddenly parachuting in a minister." Danzo Shimura spoke coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Tsunade.

Don't get me wrong, he has no collusion with the Uchiha clan, he is just very dissatisfied with the current Hokage. What is he dissatisfied with? Except for him, the other Hokage Shimura Danzo is also very dissatisfied!
His last name isn't Shimura, and his name isn't Danzo. He can't stand anyone being Hokage.

Tsunade glanced at Danzo and said indifferently:
"Ah, you're right, I did abuse my power, but I'm the Hokage after all. If you become the Hokage one day, you can abuse your power too, and I promise I won't tell on you."

Danzo: “…” The born evil Senju brat, one day he will let her know that he is the most suitable candidate to be Hokage!
"Why, why haven't you become Hokage yet? Are you not qualified?" Tsunade sneered without retreating a single step.

"Hiruzen! Do you still care about your disciples?!"

Half of Danzo's old face turned blue and purple with anger, his veins popped out with rage, his blood rushed to his heart, and he almost fainted.

Faced with the anger of his old buddy, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade awkwardly, intending to give him a mild reprimand.

Tsunade, who had read the other party's intention in advance, crossed her arms and coldly spat out three words without waiting for the other party to speak.

"Then I'll go?"

She doesn't owe Konoha anything. It's her duty not to help, and it's a favor for her to come back to help. Anyway, the third generation is not dead yet, and there will be someone to take over if she leaves.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he shuddered and waved his hands repeatedly.

Tsunade's ability is obvious to all. Although many of the decisions she made seemed too radical and tough to her, these radical reforms did raise Konoha's overall strength to a higher level.

If she ran away, who else could be the Hokage? The defected Orochimaru or Jiraiya who interacts with female fans all day? You can't let the naturally evil Uchiha clan be the Hokage, right?
"Danzo, you are such a grown-up and yet you still bother with a junior. Apologize now!"

"Me? I apologize?"

Danzo looked at Hiruzen in disbelief, who was taking sides and looked so betrayed that tears almost fell from his eyes.

"Hiruzen, don't go too far!"

"Danzo, I am the fire..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who habitually shouted slogans, stopped halfway, remembered that he was no longer Hokage, sucked on his pipe, sighed, and said nothing.

Just then, there was the sound of dense footsteps, and a large group of people walked to the entrance of the training ground.

The heads of all the major ninja clans came here at the same time, including the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Nara clan, the Akimichi clan, the Yamanaka clan...

The most powerful clans are undoubtedly the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan. The patriarchs of the two families walked in the front, one on the left and one on the right. They behaved politely when their eyes met, but behind their backs, there were constant swordplay.

Behind Uchiha Fugaku were two quiet young men, Itachi and Shisui, the twin stars of the Uchiha family, who have been famous in Konoha Village in recent years. Although they were only in their teens, they had completed a large number of S-level missions. Both their resumes and their true strength were exceptionally dazzling.

In contrast, there was no one behind Hinata Hiashi. Although he still maintained the composure of a patriarch of a large family, his expression was obviously not looking good.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Unlike the Uchiha clan which is full of talented people, the Hyuga clan has been gradually weakening in recent years. This family which attaches great importance to "orthodoxy" has only one insignificant, delicate and timid Hinata as the main descendant, and the second daughter, Hyuga Hanabi, is also too young to see anything.

Although Hyuga Neji can also be called a genius, he is obviously not on the same level as Uchiha Itachi, a genius who graduated directly from the first year. Especially since the other party is from a branch family, he is obviously not suitable to be brought to a situation where he needs to hold the scene.

As the number of people increased and they all took up their respective positions, the originally simple and ordinary review suddenly became turbulent. When Lu Ke entered the venue, he saw many inquiring eyes looking at him.

Tsunade, the initiator, stepped forward and examined Luke's expression. After confirming that he did not show any panic or anxiety, she went straight to the point and omitted the tedious steps.

"Senkawa Luke, are you ready to show off your scientific ninja tools?"

"Ready."

"If your performance is good enough, you can be directly assigned the position of the head of the Ninja Tool Club. If your performance is not good enough, it doesn't matter. After training for a period of time, you can also take this position."

Although she was angry at the brat for teasing her yesterday, Tsunade still tried to comfort this young man with a friendly temperament.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Lu Ke nodded slowly, stroking the ring with a smile, and a huge block of iron appeared in his hand. The lines of the iron block were hard and smooth, exuding a cold metallic luster, and there were countless strange patterns engraved on it.

"Is this the true face of the scientific ninja tool? What's its name?"

Tsunade first looked at the storage ring, and had some ideas about the uses of this lightweight ninja tool for storing items. Then she looked curiously at the thing in Luke's hand, not knowing whether it should be called a weapon.

Although the huge block of iron that appeared was strong, it was extremely bulky, not as sharp as a sword, and its structure was unreasonable as a blunt weapon. She did not deny this. After all, there are all kinds of ninja tools in the world, and many of them have unique functions.

"This is the basic model of the scientific ninja tool, a handheld model. Its full name is 'Great Compassionate Gatling Bodhisattva'. You can call it Gatling for short. It eliminates recoil and has additional properties such as cooling, tracking, penetration, strengthening, and increased endurance."

Luke introduced with a smile, looking at the target with the shuriken stuck in it, then looking at the crowd of onlookers, "The target may not be able to withstand it, I need a strong volunteer to help test the damage, can you assign one?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows. The targets in the training ground had all undergone special treatment and were more than enough to test most B-level ninjutsu. Could this so-called basic model be so powerful, or was it that Luke just didn't understand the strength of the target?

Considering the attitude of Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country samurai, and the Hidden Mist Village...

Tsunade raised her lips slightly, raised her voice, and looked at Shimura Danzo:

"If we talk about a powerful volunteer, it must be Elder Danzo!"

"He is the best partner of my teacher, the Third Hokage, and the former leader of the Root. His strength is comparable to that of the 'Kage' of the five major ninja villages. Moreover, he is naturally helpful and will definitely help with this!"

Brush brush!
Everyone looked at Danzo at the same time. The ninja clan leader, who was also curious about scientific ninja tools and didn't understand why, began to praise Danzo.

"Danzo-sama is the disciple of the Second-Kai-sama. He is almost as capable as the Third-Kai-sama. His strength is extraordinary!"

"You are so powerful, Master Danzo! You might be the strongest person in Konoha..."

"Isn't this the Sixth Hokage's fate?"

Amidst the compliments, Danzo left with a sullen face. Although he did look down on scientific ninja tools, he was not a fool and why would he be willing to be a test subject? It was just that he was named in public and was placed on such a high position that he could not object no matter how unwilling he was.

Moreover, there are people who actually think that he can become Hokage!
Even though he is the sixth generation...from another perspective, why can't we say that he is twice as strong as Hiruzen? !
Danzo walked up to Luke and looked coldly at this ordinary man who felt no threat.

"Come on, junior, show me what your scientific ninja tools can do."

"Okay, Danzo-sama."

Luke smiled and raised his weapon, slowly pointing the muzzle at Danzo's belly button before moving it down.
