Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

"Why are you here, Zhihui?"

Hyuga Neji was somewhat surprised and asked.

"You guys go out first."

Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "I'll have a private talk with Neji."

Sakura Haruno and the others turned and left.

"How's the investigation going?"

Oil Girl Zhihui then asked.

"The matter has been basically investigated."

Hyuga Neji took out a scroll and said, "If you hadn't come, we should have returned to Konoha the day after tomorrow."

Yu Nu Zhihui opened the scroll.

The current daimyo of the Land of Fire is Madoka Shigenobu, who is now sixty-seven years old.

He had four wives who bore him three sons and one daughter.

What Yu Nu Zhihui was most familiar with was his eldest son, Yuan Shixiu.

In Boruto, he became the next Daimyo.

At that time, Konoha Village had already reached the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.

What's really outrageous is that Yukichi wanted to cut funding to Konoha Village.

It is very difficult to evaluate.

Whether it's Yuichiro or Naruto Uzumaki.

All I can say is that the Japanese way of thinking is just that peculiar.

How have you been feeling these past few days?

Yu Nu Zhihui closed the scroll and asked.

Hyuga Neji was slightly taken aback.

He didn't think much about it; he was focused on completing the mission.

If you suddenly ask him, he really doesn't know what to say.

"Say what you think."

Oil Girl Zhihui smiled and said, "I was just asking casually."

"Da Ming lived a very extravagant life."

Hyuga Neji stated the truth.

"Why would ninjas protect such a daimyo?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked softly."

"Because...because it has always been so."

Hyuga Neji came up with a reason.

"Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked in return."

"I...I don't know."

Neji Hyuga's forehead was sweating slightly.

"Neji, don't you find it strange? Why would a powerful ninja protect a weak daimyo?"

Oil Girl Zhihui continued, "Just because he needs government funding? Can't we just make our own money?"

Yup!

why?

Hyuga Neji fell into a state of bewildered thought.

He felt that what You Nu Zhihui said made a lot of sense, but he wasn't sure exactly why.

"I'll give you a task."

Yu Nu Zhihui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stay a couple more days and learn about the history of the Land of Fire."

He wanted to groom Hyuga Neji.

Besides being a member of Skyward, his calm and collected personality makes him a qualified future warrior.

"Ah."

Although Neji Hyuga didn't quite understand the reason, he knew Shiki Aburame.

There was a deeper meaning behind his actions.

After ending the chat, Aburame Shiki left the Konoha Village camp.

He waved casually.

A plume of smoke rose straight into the sky and quickly transformed into sparrows.

Hyuga Neji's discovery of Konan was quite coincidental; they met while he was investigating the daimyo.

After that, she disappeared without a trace.

Aburame Shiki wasn't sure if Konan had left, but he could give it a try.

A moment later, he raised an eyebrow and turned to walk down the street to the north.

Soon, he stopped in front of an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"Feel sorry."

The waiter at the door stopped him and said, "The interior has been reserved by a distinguished guest and we are not open to the public today."

"I was invited by her."

"Issue woman Zhihui said without changing her expression."

The waiter paused for a moment, then made way for him.

Xiao Nan did indeed say that someone would be looking for him later.

"Thank you."

Aburame Shiki walked into the izakaya.

"Are you one of Kazuma's men?"

Xiao Nan raised her head and asked in a cool tone.

"I'm not."

Oil Girl Zhihui sized her up twice.

She was wearing a black trench coat with red clouds from the Akatsuki organization, completely covered up except for her bare hands with painted nails.

"who are you?"

Xiao Nan immediately became alert.

Although she had met Zhihui, the oil lady, once, it was ten years ago, and she no longer recognized him.

"Sister White Tiger, do you still remember that request from Kusagakure?"

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui reminded me of," he said.

White Tiger Sister?

Kusagakure Village?

Xiao Nan finally remembered.

The main reason was that Zhihui, a young and wealthy oil worker, left a deep impression on her.

"You want to make a request?"

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "Sorry, we're not accepting any cases recently."

With three members lost and the task of capturing tailed beasts underway, the Akatsuki had long since abandoned ordinary missions.

Besides, they don't need to make any more money.

"It's not a commission; I just came to get to know you again."

Yu Nu Zhihui extended her hand and said, "Sister Xiao Nan."

"How do you know my name?"

Xiao Nan frowned.

Her official code name is White Tiger.

"I am Zhihui, the oil lady."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said calmly."

Xiao Nan paused for a second, then immediately stepped back.

Paper sheets covered her skin, turning her into a paper doll.

This is her secret technique, the Dance of Paper, which allows her to transform her body into pieces of paper.

Aside from being sensitive to oil, it has no other drawbacks.

Konan is ready to attack.

no way.

Aburame Shiki single-handedly defeated Sasori, Deidara, and Hidan.

"Don't be nervous."

Oil Girl Zhihui took a sip of water and said, "Speaking of which, we are from the same school."

"what are you saying?"
