บท 183: Chapter 181: The Appearance of Gezo Tenno

Three hundred meters from the residence, behind one of the many trees in the park, a slender silhouette of a beautiful girl was hidden. Guesses will be superfluous here, because in fact it is not difficult to understand who had the courage to secretly observe the Hokage, and also had good reasons for that. Although, these "grounds" still did not concern her, but ... After that meeting with her sister, Hanabi rethought everything and, filled with irreconcilable feelings of resentment and anger, wanted to know more!

The kunoichi was so annoyed by the fact that Naruto was treating her sister so harshly, and she also let him, that Hanabi simply could not sit still. After a whole night of denial due to Hinata suggesting that she also enter into this vicious relationship, Hanabi finally got over everything and proceeded to the only thing she could do ...

Observation, you can even call it surveillance, and also stalking ...

However, about this significance of her actions, she thought last, because she could not even realize the true reason why she began to do it. All Hanabi knew was that Naruto annoyed her terribly, and his actions infuriated her! Never before had she felt so many emotions for someone at the same time! And the most problematic is that she did not even notice her changes, because she even gave up her morning workout, unable to stop, forcing herself to go out to spy. Hanabi vowed to herself that she would keep an eye on Naruto forever!

At that moment, the Hokage finally replied, enjoying Shizune's skillful language:

"I get it." He squared his shoulders again and became noticeably more impressive, making Shikamaru and Sai wonder: "This is expected ...

In fact, Naruto not so long ago remembered Sumira Kakei and her pet Nue, only he did not act, because he had plans for Tenten and Tsunade, and the postponement of the final exam could help to shift the time frame, and thus delay the meeting with this a girl, but, as you can see, it did not work out. Sumire had already begun to act, and if so, it created some trouble for his future plans.

In addition, recently from the Academy, he received a report from Iruka, about the situation with Shin and his attack on Boruto and newcomer Mitsuki. This was alarming, but did not require an answer.

Orochimaru recently sent one message specifically for Naruto, and, of course, the faithful Shizune sorted it out, so the Hokage knew about what was happening and, due to the lack of the need to act, simply remained silent. He did not ignore the situation, but only waited for the right moment to make his move. If Boruto was able to survive, then for sure it would benefit him, besides, he did not doubt the safety of the boy, because he was not guarded by some ordinary weakling - Mitsuki is very strong, even by the standards of the Jinins he is not so bad. It was not easy to see Orochimaru's plans, but Naruto did not even spend time on this - he was not interested in questions about his "son".

In any case, even though Naruto was obliged to predict Sumire's appearance, it just so happened that this moment was missed and in the end ...

"I'll figure it out," his answer was final. He slowly pushed Shino's photo towards Sai and added, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter.

- But ... - he obviously did not expect such an answer, only, Shikamaru noticed some kind of catch in this.

He knows something ... Naruto wasn't even surprised. Is he somehow involved in this? Hmm ... Looks like I was right, he stopped trusting me, earlier he would have said ... "

However, Shikamaru could not blame his friend, over the years, they have all changed noticeably ...

Naruto's confident and indifferent gaze made Sayu uncomfortable, but he still said:

`` Naruto, this case ... I think I know who this is connected with and ...

`` It doesn't matter, '' the Hokage was beginning to get annoyed by this impudence, which made his tone go cold: I have everything under control.

- So you followed him already? Shikamaru understood everything and nodded, `` Suddenly ...

"Indeed ..." Naruto noticed his advisor's changed behavior. Surprising as it was, he seemed more serious when threatened.

"Hmm, that's even more interesting ..."

Although, in the matter with women and his wife, in particular, he still turned out to be blind. Shikamaru may be smart, but his weakness is probably that he sometimes ignores details due to laziness, procrastination, and perhaps even personal feelings and beliefs. Yet he is kind-hearted by nature and probably simply could not begin to fear betrayal from a close friend. It is very unlikely on his part to suspect Naruto that he is now a different person ... After the war and the death of many loved ones, Shikamaru has changed a lot, so it is not surprising that he ignores many moments and often spends time drinking and gambling.

Naruto only sighed, looking at this couple, yet for him they were complete strangers, so it all seemed strange ... However, they did not ask questions, all that he did so far was only hiding part of the truth.

You can get someone else's body, strength and position, but developed feelings and friendships are impossible.

"She will still be mine ..." - cold flashed in the eyes of the Hokage, he was not going to stop, even if he felt something unpleasant. It is simply impossible to retreat, neither for him, nor for her ... All that remains is to bring the matter to the end!

Hanabi, watching everything from the sidelines, growled grimly:

"That bastard ... I knew he was crazy, but ... How can you do this with Shizune, and even chat with your friends as if nothing had happened ?!" He's disgusting ...

After Shikamaru's words, Sai still couldn't help it.

`` Naruto, I understand everything, you have already made a decision, but ... If this concerns Danz, then I ...

The Hokage waved his hand to contain his irritation.

- Don't worry, I told you, I have everything under control. Clear? I am aware of your attitude towards Root. Whether you want to help the poor fellow or solve your own problems - it doesn't matter now. You have a normal life, so enjoy it. I'll take action and take care of everything soon. I have one assignment for the two of you, so be prepared, but for now, you can be free.

Shikamaru nodded with a squint and pulled the surprised Sai out of the office, he did not even have time to understand what was happening when the door slammed in front of his nose.
