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

"Help!"

Nara Langui made a decisive decision without any hesitation.

But at this time, everyone in Konoha was on the back of the [Shadow Creature], and there was a long distance between them and the Loulan Palace.

In this case, I want to rescue the Loulan Queen who fell from the high building of the palace.

Whether it is instant water stopping or yellow flash, there is no way to do it.

Not to mention Tsunade-hime, whose movement speed is not as fast as these two!

Nara Langui stretched out his right hand, and a dark shadow bullet at the tip of his index finger was instantly formed, and it was about to shoot towards the position of the fallen queen.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure wearing a green vest flashing past the palace building. The figure's short golden hair was as dazzling as the sun's rays.

And in that golden shining embrace, the red-haired princess curled up like a frightened little animal, her soft and beautiful red hair fluttering in the wind.

"Brother Minato?"

Nara Langui raised his eyebrows, and the yellow flash that covered a distance of thousands of meters and rushed to the scene at super speed had already taken his sister away.

"Zhishui, did you go to Loulan Palace just now?"

Although Namikaze Minato's teleportation technique was fast, it was definitely not that fast.

Nara Langui can completely believe that almost at the moment he gave the order, Namikaze Minato had already left the [Shadow Creature] and traveled to the Loulan Palace through the [Flying Thunder God Technique].

Only in this way can Namikaze Minato be able to complete the task of "taking care of a girl" so perfectly.

[Shadow Creature] vibrated its wings and flew towards Namikaze Minato.

Uchiha Shisui didn't know why Nara Langui suddenly asked this question, but he still answered honestly.

"We did not enter the palace, but did a quick inspection around its perimeter."

This means that Namikaze Minato left a mark there casually when he was patrolling the outskirts of Loulan Palace?

Hmm...it's quite in line with his habits.

Since mastering [Flying Thunder God: Blade of Shadow Stream], Nara Langui has also developed a habit of leaving marks everywhere.

Anyway, the operation is not troublesome. It only consumes a little chakra, and you can quietly arrange an extra "escape" for yourself.

While Nara Langui was thinking, the [Shadow Creature] had already arrived beside Namikaze Minato and the other two.

When Sarah fell from the tower, she faintly felt someone pushing her behind her.

But the sky kept getting farther away, the wind roared in my ears, and the terrifying feeling of weightlessness filled my heart.

Sara had no extra thoughts to think about who dared to murder the new queen of Loulan at this moment.

There was only one thought left in her mind - could she finally go see her mother?

However, at this moment, a pair of strong arms hugged Sara's waist, and a strange breath poured into her nasal cavity, and then the threat of death quickly moved away...

Sara curled up in this strange and warm embrace like a frightened little animal.

Until the other party spoke, the man's voice reached his ears.

"It's already safe..."

Sara raised her head, looked at the other person's face, and at the same time subconsciously waved her right hand.

However, when Minato Namikaze's face was clearly reflected in Sara's brown eyes, the queen's slap was immediately suppressed by her with great willpower, and she gently pressed the side of the other person's face.

Namikaze Minato: "?"

"Brother Minato, is this how you save people?"

Nara Langui looked at Sarah and Namikaze Minato with a half-smile.

In his impression, the one who rescued Sara who fell from the tower this time should be the Uzumaki Naruto who traveled more than ten years later to the present.

I just don't know why, Uzumaki Naruto doesn't seem to appear in Loulan Kingdom...

but.

Although I didn't see the scene of Uzumaki Naruto saving the princess, I did see the scene of Uzumaki Naruto's father saving the princess.

and……

It seems that what Namikaze Minato saved was not only the princess's body, but maybe her heart as well.

"Or is it that Brother Minato prefers girls with red hair?"

Seeing Namikaze Minato and Sara freeze in place, Nara Langui continued to tease without answering.

"The action of hugging someone just now was really skillful~"

"Cough cough cough!"

Namikaze Minato let out an extremely violent cough, and immediately he disappeared into thin air.

[The Art of Flying Thunder God]!

Sara, who was half-reclining and half-sitting in Namikaze Minato's arms just now, felt suddenly empty beneath her body, and then she sat down on the ground, unable to help but let out a cry of pain.

"Ran Gui—no, the Yondaime!"

Namikaze Minato's figure appeared behind Nara Langui like a phantom, and his right hand pinched the latter's shoulder like an iron pliers.

"I was just carrying out your order to save people!

"There's no need to tell Kushina about this, right?"

"Okay, I was just joking."

Nara Langui showed a sincere and gentle smile to Namikaze Minato.

"I can guarantee that Miss Uzumaki Kushina will never know what happened today!"

"Uh-huh?"

Namikaze Minato vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Why did he feel that as soon as Nara Langui said these words, he seemed to become more dangerous?

"Nara, stop playing."

Tsunade reminded helplessly.

"Feel sorry--"

Nara Langui's words were addressed not only to Tsunade, but also to the Queen of Loulan who cast her gaze.

"Your Majesty the Queen of Loulan Kingdom, I am Nara Langui, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and these three are my team members.

"We were invited to Loulan to investigate some situations...

"It turns out now that the situation in Loulan is much more serious than what was mentioned in the previous letter asking for help."

"The Hokage of Konoha?"

Sarah was shocked, and finally saw the Konoha mark carried by Namikaze Minato and others.

As the queen of Loulan, Sarah also has a certain understanding of the situation of the two big countries near Loulan (the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire).

As for the letter asking for help that Nara Langui mentioned before.

Sarah had heard the same thing.

Loulan was attacked by a powerful rebel ninja. He originally sent a letter for help to the closer Sunagakure Village, but he didn't expect that Sunagakure wouldn't accept it at all and instead forwarded the letter for help to Konoha.

According to the news Sarah learned from An Lushan a few days ago.

The possibility of Konoha sending people to Loulan to investigate is not high...

As a result, Konoha not only sent out a ninja team, but also their Fourth Hokage?

What a strange feeling...

Shouldn't Naruto be the leader of Konoha?

How could there be any reason for a ninja leader to go out on a mission?

It looked as if something went wrong in the Kingdom of Sichuan next door, and Queen Loulan personally led her troops to support it.

It's unreasonable...

"One of the purposes of our trip is to protect Her Majesty the Queen."

Nara Langui said calmly.

"So, can Her Majesty the Queen share some information with us?

"For example, what happened in the tower just now?"
