Naruto: Mihawk's Template is all you need

"I'm not going to make such a joke, Hokage-sama."

Shikamaru just shrugged his shoulders and answered casually to her question, though he could understand why Tsunade was so shocked.

It is normal to be surprised that there is such a powerful person hiding in the village that they have no idea about it.

"It's really ...".

Looking at the expression in Shikamaru's eyes, Tsunade knew that there was no longer any doubt that what was written in the report was true.

"Shingen ... I don't doubt you... But as the Hokage... It is necessary for me to understand everything that is happening in the village ...".

"If you're so strong... Why do you want to hide your power? I ... Need an answer ... ".

Tsunade finally set her sights on the expressionless figure with a large sword on his back.

Tsunade wondered why he was hiding his strength, and why he chose to hide when he could show his strength.

"Hokage-sama... It's not that —".

"Shhhhh"

Seeing Tsunade looking at Shingen with puzzled eyes, Ino wanted to say something, because she didn't like Shingen being treated like a prisoner. But Shikamaru stopped her with a gesture, he knew that no matter what they said, they couldn't dispel Tsunade's doubts, and it was better to keep quiet and let Shingen explain himself.

Before seeing Shingen respectfully bid farewell to the deceased, he also had the same doubts in his heart as Tsunade.

"I never intended to hide anything, nor did I intend to show anything".

"My parents died to protect me and the village, to repay them... I'll try to do the same ... ".

"That's all I'm going to say, Hokage-sama."

Seeing her suspicious gaze fall on him, Shingen's eyes did not waver, and he said everything in his heart in a calm tone, looking directly into her eyes.

He never intended to hide his strength, nor did he intend to show it off. If someone is dying in front of him, he will try to help him, and if someone dies unjustly behind his back... Then there is no guilt in his heart.

This is his belief in life, simple and straightforward, he doesn't care if others like it or not.

Shingen's voice fell into the ears of everyone in the room, and they all looked at him with slightly complicated eyes, because they had never expected such an honest and simple answer.

"A strange child!!".

Looking at his determined eyes and determined tone, Tsunade couldn't help but say so, because this was the first time she had met someone like Shingen.

Hearing his words, Shikamaru laughed, this is what made him most impressed by Shingen. He does not hide his inner thoughts and is outspoken, such a person is rare and worth making friends.

"That's cool!!".

On the other hand, Ino's cheeks flushed, and his words and serious side face really attracted her.

At this moment, Tsunade got up from his seat, walked some distance away from Shingen, and looked up at him, because Shingen was much taller than her.

"Follow me!!".

Tapping him on the shoulder, Tsunade said with a smile and headed for the door.

"Where are you going, Hokage-sama?".

Shingen turned around, there was some confusion in his yellow eyes, he couldn't understand what Tsunade wanted to do.

"Let me see what you're up to... If you... want to repay your parents... Let's become a Jonin first."

Tsunade stopped at the door, turned to Shingen and said, her eyes revealing approval, with a bright smile on her face.

"Jonin!!".

Ino's eyes widened, and she immediately understood Tsunade's intentions.

"Hah... Ha ... ".

"It's really troublesome~".

Even Shikamaru let out a small laugh and said his trademark lines, although his eyes couldn't hide the relief he felt at Shingen, because he knew Tsunade has accepted him.

Seeing Tsunade urging him to follow, Shingen was silent for a moment, then shook his head and followed her, but his indifferent eyes were no longer as cold as before.

The cool breeze of the early morning soothed everyone's mood, but on the training ground, the situation was about to get lively.

On the ground of the 3rd Training Ground lay the figure of a silver-haired man, a blue mask covering the lower half of his face, and a headband slanted to cover his left eye.

He held an orange book in his hand, his cheeks were slightly red, and there was a smirk at the corners of his mouth.

"Seriously, when is Kakashi-sensei going to stop reading this kind of book!!".

A little away from him, a pink-haired, green-eyed girl was sitting on the grass, treating an injured sparrow.

She is dressed in pink and has black gloves on her hands.

Hearing Kakashi's lewd laughter, Sakura couldn't help but complain, a hint of helplessness on her face. As an adult, Kakashi should at least be self-aware and not read this kind of book in public.

"Okay, be careful".

The green energy shone over the injured bird, and soon, the wound on its leg disappeared and Sakura let it fly away.

"Huh?".

Just as Sakura was thinking about going back, she saw several blurry figures walking towards her from a distance.

Kakashi also looked out of the corner of his eye, wondering who had come so early.
