After saying goodbye to the Daimyo, I immediately returned to the post station and packed my things.

Me: "Someone." ”

Two shadows appeared.

Me: "Gather at once, and we'll go back to the village overnight." ”

Shadow: "Yes." ”

After a night of traveling, we returned to Konoha the next morning.

Me: "Let's all go back and rest." ”

"Yes. ”

After the shadows were gone, I felt sleepy, so I went home and went to sleep.

（！————）

The Land of Earth.

"Oh no...... Daimyo-sama. One of the guards hurried into the palace.

"What's going on?"

"We're out of town...... Discovered the Daimyo of Vortex Country ......"

"What is he doing here?" the daimyo wondered.

"He's ......"

"Is it outside the door? Let him in. ”

"He's dead. ”

"What!?" the daimyo stood up in surprise.

The ministers panicked.

"Who killed him?" asked the daimyo eagerly.

"We examined it carefully and there were no injuries. ”

“……”

"Quick, send someone to Iwa Ninja Village, and let Tsuchikage find out about this matter. The daimyo ordered.

"Yes. ”

"It's finally peaceful...... Is there going to be war again......"

（！————）

The Land of Fire.

"Hah......" I yawned and gathered the shadows together.

"Pass my orders...... Ha...... From now on...... Ha...... Strengthen ...... outside the village Ha...... Surveillance of the surrounding area. "No, I'm still sleepy.

"Yes. ”

"Call Ibiki and Senju Song. Also, no one is allowed to enter without my orders. ”

"Yes. ”

I put the things I had brought back from the royal city on the table.

After a while, Ibiki came.

"Hokage-sama. ”

"You sit down first. ”

"Yes. ”

After about half an hour, the old gentleman Nanqu came, after all, he was old.

"Hokage-sama. ”

"Sit down. ”

"Yes. ”

I said to the man who was in charge of taking care of the old gentleman, "You go out first, and you are not allowed to enter without an order." ”

"Yes, yes. The man immediately went out.

I got up, took the photo, walked up to the old gentleman, and handed it to him: "May I ask the old gentleman, have you seen this person?"

The old gentleman just looked at it: "I've seen it." ”

I asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Old gentleman: "He's my son." ”

Me: "Do you know who he's been dating lately?"

The old gentleman shook his head: "I don't know, he hasn't been home for half a month." ”

Me: "He died in the forest outside the royal city." ”

Old gentleman: "What!?" Ibiki was surprised.

The picture fell from the old gentleman's hand to the ground.

I handed the man's package to the old gentleman: "This is his belongings, please take a look." ”

The old gentleman took the package with trembling hands and looked at his son's things.

Me: "Ibihi." ”

Ibhi: "Yes. ”

I told Ibiki about it.

Me: "You take the stuff back and investigate it carefully, but don't let anyone else know." ”

Ibhi: "Yes. ”

I looked, "Also, search the deceased's room carefully, but don't mess with it." ”

Ibhi: "Yes. ”

Then I asked them to go back first, and after they left, I seized the time to implement the new village rules and policies.

"Hokage-sama, the new village rules and policy documents have been rewritten. ”

"Hmm. Publish it immediately, and then dispose of all the previous books for scrap. ”

"Yes. ”

（！————）

Five days later, in the desert of the Land of Winds, a group of merchants were on their way, and when they crossed the sand dunes in front of them, they saw a man lying in the desert.

"Hey, there's a guy there. ”

"Go check it out. ”

A few people ran over quickly.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Cheer up. ”

"No, he's dead. ”

"Looking at his outfit, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. ”

"Daimyo-sama!"

"You know him?"

"He is the great name of our water country. ”

"What!?"

"Why did you die here?"

"There's a village not far ahead, let's move the body over first. ”

（！————）

The borders of the Fire Nation.

"Captain Ibihi, we found this. ”

A ninja finds a baggage.

Ibiki walked over, opened the baggage, which was full of clothes, rummaged through it, and found nothing.

"Captain Ibihi, we found this thing. "The ninja handed it to Ibhi.

"This ...... It's the same thing as the one Hokage-sama handed me......" and looked at the man, "Where did you find it?"

"We were under a tree and we found that the soil had been dug up, so we dug it up. ”

（！————）

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama. "A shadow appeared.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Water, who disappeared 10 days ago, and his body has appeared in the Land of Wind. ”

“……”

"The corpse of the daimyo of the Vortex Country was also found in the Land of Earth. ”

“…… Seven daimyo have already been killed...... Did any other villages find any clues?"

"They didn't provide it to us. ”

"Let's go down first. ”

I looked at the report on the table: "After the country of grass, the country of ghosts, the country of tea, the country of the moon, and the country of rivers, is it the country of water and the country of vortex?"

"Knock, knock. ”

"Please come in. ”

"Hey, long time no see, do you miss my sister?" Xia Yun asked happily.

"Xia Yun, why are you here?" I looked at Xia Yun in surprise.

"Hokage-sama is good. "Nami.

"Brother...... Hokage-sama. "Light snow.

"Is there anything wrong with the three of you?" I asked.

"Sister Xia Yun said that she had business, so she came to you. "Light snow.

"Business?"

"Of course, on behalf of the whole village, I came to congratulate you on becoming the fifth Hokage. "Xia Yun.

"If it's okay, just leave. "I know Xia Yun didn't tell the truth.

"Okay, okay, actually, it's about our village. "Xia Yun.

"Did the God Slayer come to trouble you?" I asked solemnly.

"No, in fact, our village has become the ninja village of the Moon Country. "Xia Yun.

"You don't have many ninjas in the Moon Country, so what's there to be happy about. I looked at the papers on the table.

"That's why I'm the first Moon Shadow in the Land of the Moon. Xia Yun said excitedly.

"You can't even stop other countries from invading. I said.

"Brother. You're very rude. Xiaoxue was a little angry.

"If you have nothing to do, I'll go out, I'm busy. "I picked up another document.

"If you want to work, you can do it again tomorrow, so let's go play with us. "Xia Yun.

"I'm not available. "Me.

"We three big beauties accompany you, aren't you enough?" Xia Yun.

"Isn't it just Xiaoxue? Where are the three?" I said deliberately.

"Let's go play together. "Xia Yun.

"Your daimyo of the Moon Country is dead, and you're still in the mood to play. I said impatiently.

"Dead!?How could it be!?" Xia Yun was very surprised.

"You don't know?" I was a little surprised.

"Of course, I've been in Konoha for 1 month. "Xia Yun.
