I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

The curling green smoke passed through the cracks in the trees, floated to the outside world, and landed like an eight or nine-year-old child.

Nara Langui looked at the fantastic scene in front of him, and immediately had a deeper understanding of the "smoke escape" of the Ibri family.

In all fairness.

The "Smoke Escape" of the Ibri family is very functional.

Transforming one's own body into an unpredictable white smoke can be regarded as an extraordinary "morphological change".

Whether it is used for hiding or defense, this kind of "smoke escape" can have a very good effect.

However.

Compared with functionality, the shortcomings of "Smoke Escape" are too serious.

Extremely unstable, so that even a slight wind could take the life of a ninja of the Ibri family.

In this case, it is impossible for the ninjas of the Ibri family to use their blood succession limit ability stably.

Ability that cannot be used is no different from "no ability".

‘If the Ibri family’s Yandun Blood Successor Boundary can be stabilized, will they grow into a powerful Blood Successor Boundary family that is comparable to the Ghost Lamp Clan in Wuyin Village in the future? '

"Smoke and water in various forms can be immune to physical attacks to a certain extent..."

"And the weight of smoke is lighter than water, and it can float in the air, which can be regarded as a special flying ability..."

Just when a few sporadic thoughts flashed through Nara Langui's mind.

Ibri Xuejian also noticed that her younger brother left her side due to her recklessness, and a nervous and anxious look suddenly appeared on her little freckled face.

Hidden in the tree hole, she threw herself forward, trying to get out from between the trees.

However, Ibri Xuejian is not very proficient in the "smoke" ability inherited by the family.

With her forward pounce, instead of failing to get out of the tree hole, she hit the inner wall of the tree trunk with her head, and bounced back to the original place with a "boom".

Seeing this scene, Nara Langui couldn't help but want to laugh.

He looked at Uchiha Shisui's shadow clone and nodded to the latter.

The latter exploded with a bang, turned into a puff of smoke, and dissipated in place, but left with the information that "the target has been found".

"elder sister!"

Ibri Tianzang exclaimed, he subconsciously used the ability of "smoke", trying to return to the tree hole.

"Tianzang, wait for me outside!"

Ibri Xuejian's voice came from between the trees.

"I'm going out right now!"

Her voice just fell.

Another wisp of smoke floated out of the cracks in the trees and fell outside, turning into a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

"elder sister!"

Ibri Tianzang trotted over and hugged his sister's waist tightly.

"Sister, I want to go home!"

"Good boy, Tianzang."

Ibri touched his brother's head reassuringly.

"When we go to Konoha and meet Oshemaru-sama, everything will be fine."

This pair of siblings—no, it should be said that they belong to the Ibri family, they are so obsessed with Orochimaru...

Nara Langui raised his eyebrows, and in order to dispel the idea of ​​the siblings wanting to go to Konoha, he reminded him.

"Even if you go to Konoha, you won't see Orochimaru."

"Why?"

Ibri Xuejian raised his head and looked at Nara Nangui nervously.

"Oshemaru-sama is clearly Konoha's ninja!"

"Because the war broke out, Orochimaru is not currently in Konoha, but is fighting the enemy on the front line."

Nara Langui replied.

"This is something that everyone in Konoha knows.

"Considering the close relationship between your Ibri clan and Orochimaru, the adults in your family should also know about it."

This unexpected news seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Ibri Xuejian's heart.

She froze all of a sudden, closed her mouth, and said nothing.

Feeling his sister's disappointment, Ibri Tenzang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hug the former's waist silently.

A few minutes later.

Uchiha Shisui and Shizune came back from another direction, and the four-member team reunited.

Nara Nangui gave instructions, "Bring these two children back to the Ibri clan."

Ibrixue raised his head again, wanting to say something.

But at this moment.

"Goo——"

Suddenly, there was an abnormally loud cry from Ibrixue's stomach.

The freckled girl's face flushed red, and she closed her mouth resolutely.

Ibri Tianzang, who was the closest, heard the voice first. He gently tugged on his sister's clothes with his hand, and said in a low voice.

"Sister, I'm really hungry too..."

"I have a rice ball here."

The kind-hearted Jing Yin stepped forward, took out a seaweed triangle rice ball from the ninja bag, and handed it to the siblings.

"Let's fill our stomachs with it first."

Hinata's brows were slightly frowned.

It's not that she dislikes Shih's kindness in sharing food with the Ibri siblings.

It's just that this is not the content of the task.

The task of the team is to find the children and bring them back to the family.

But looking at Uchiha Shisui and the captain who did not speak to dissuade, Hinata still buried this little doubt in his heart.

"Thanks."

The flushed Ibri Xuejian took the rice ball and thanked in a low voice.

She broke the rice ball into two pieces, one big and one small.

The older one was passed to the younger brother, and the younger one was kept for himself.

The siblings started gobbling almost at the same time.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, there is plenty of time..."

Nara Langui handed out the wave soda that he hadn't had time to drink just now, and then looked aside.

"Shishui, you just... no, it's okay."

Halfway through the speech, a memory flooded Nara Langui's mind.

[Shadow Clone], who previously acted together with Uchiha Shisui and Shizune, has already sent back the news of the Iburi Xuejian siblings to the Iburi clan in advance.

"Sister, and brother, you are all good people."

Ibri Xuejian, who quickly finished eating rice balls, took his younger brother and bowed down to thank Shizune and Nara Nangui.

"A good guy like Oshemaru-sama."

Little one, your way of complimenting others is quite unique...

Nara Langui pursed her lips.

Shizune asked curiously: "Why did you two leave the family and go find Master Orochimaru?"

Nara Langui frowned, and the other two had similar expressions.

"Mute!"

"Um?"

Jing Yin looked at the team leader a little at a loss, and didn't realize that he asked the wrong question for a while.

Ibri Xuejian's crisp child voice broke the atmosphere between the teams.

"Because Oshemaru-sama needs us!"

Ibrixue said generously.

"The adults all said that Master Orochimaru helped us solve a big difficulty, and the family wanted to repay Master Orochimaru, and planned to send the most talented children to follow Master Orochimaru.

"This is what Oshemaru-sama wants to see."

After hearing Ibri Xuejian's words, Mute reacted belatedly.

She really shouldn't have spoken just now...

"one way or another."

Nara Langui looked at the two children and ordered again.

"Send them back first."

...

Before the cave.

"Thank you very much for your help, Ninja-sama!"

Ibri Wutai held the little hands of Yukimi and Tianzang, and bowed to Nara Nangui and the others to thank them.

"A matter of duty."

Nara Langui nodded slightly in return.

"Mr. Ibri, let's go back to the village to deliver the mission."

In the voice of thanks from the Ibri family.

The four of Nara Langui left quickly.

Enter Shadowhawk.

"Captain, sorry."

A silent apology reached the ears of several companions.

"I shouldn't have asked that question just now."

"It's not a big deal."

Nara Nakinai drove the [Shadow Creature] and moved towards Konoha.

"It's just that when I return to the village to deliver the mission later, I need to report one more piece of news to the Third Hokage."

Although Nara Langui said it was easy.

But Mute still blamed herself a bit.

For ninjas, completing tasks is the first prerequisite.

All information other than the mission is basically out of the scope of the ninja's consideration.

It is easy to bring unnecessary trouble to ninjas by rashly contacting and understanding the rest of the non-mission content information.

Jing Yin continued to apologize, "I'm very sorry, everyone."

"If you really feel sorry, next time you have a dinner, you will be the one to treat."

Nara Langui really didn't take this matter too seriously, but he still gave a solution.

"As for the location of the dinner, let Hinata decide."

"good!"

The one who responded more positively than Shizune was the little sister Hinata Yu who was sitting next to her.

Go back to the village, come to the Hokage Building, and deliver the mission scroll.

Several messages popped up on Nara Nangui's panel.

[Detected that a D-rank ninja entrusted task scroll has been submitted! 】

[D-level task [Looking for children] has been completed! 】

[You have obtained a D-level [Ninja Secret Scroll]! 】

Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the mission scroll, and looked at the four boys and girls in front of him with a smile.

"How does it feel to perform the mission for the first time?"

"Trivial, troublesome."

Nara embraced the osmanthus and expressed his feelings directly.

The smile on Sarutobi's face froze.

He really shouldn't have asked Nara Langui this question.

Next time, I'd better ask Zhishui next to me...

"Master Hokage, during this mission, we discovered an unexpected intelligence message."

Nara Nangui organized the language and relayed the news about Orochimaru and the Iburi clan to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Well, I know about the news that Orochimaru invited the Iburi family to settle near Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's response did not exceed Nara's expectation.

"He also mentioned to me that he wanted to help the Ibri family improve their physique... You guys are interested."

Having said that, Hiruzaru Sarutobi directly skipped the topic, and instead took out a banknote from the drawer.

"This is the reward for this mission, one thousand taels."

Nara Nangui took the reward and led the team out of Hokage's office.

Get out of the Hokage Building.

Shizune showed a relieved look, "It turns out that Hokage-sama knows about the relationship between Oshemaru-sama and the Ibri clan..."

"Um?"

Nara Langui glanced at Jingyin, distributed the reward in his hand to the other three members of the team according to the rules, and opened the D-level secret scroll just obtained.

"It's better to be like this..."

【Opening...】
