I have no money to repay the mortgage, so I have to be Hokage

The sky was extremely dark, and something seemed to be ready to burst out from the distant horizon.

This place was littered with corpses, but no one took a step past the man in front of them.

The rebel ninja troops were all frightened and cowered and did not dare to move forward.

The white-haired man in front of him, whose blue armor was in tatters and covered in blood, but whose eyes were still as deep as the sea, steadily pulled out the special kunai that pierced Ginkaku's heart.

After a fierce battle all night, with one against a thousand, a thousand elite ninja troops were left, and now there were less than a hundred left. Silver Horn died and Golden Horn was seriously injured.

This is the Second Hokage, the fastest in the ninja world, Senju Tobirama!

"What are you afraid of! It's just the end of a powerful crossbow! Give them all to me!" Jin Jiao's eyes turned red when he saw his younger brother being killed.

......

Boo!

The sky suddenly appeared, and orange light shone here.

The water of a lake not far away was reflected scalding hot, and a water bird flew away when it touched the water. It gradually blurred in the slowly rising sun until it disappeared.

The orange leaves fell, slowly drifting across the increasingly gray world in Senju Tobirama's eyes.

In a daze, he saw himself busy in the Hokage's office many years ago. The same orange leaf fell from the window onto the scroll he was working on.

Tobirama was about to brush the leaves off when he suddenly remembered that there was a little guy at home who couldn't bear the autumn cold, and he suddenly looked annoyed.

"It's autumn, I forgot to prepare clothes for Shangyuan."

After thinking for a while, he put the leaves in his hand and continued writing quickly at his desk.

"Next time……"

......

Shangyuan, who was following the crowd, suddenly became unsteady on his feet and fell from the branch.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped his progress, jumped to Shangyuan's side, and asked concernedly, "What's the matter, Shiratuki?"

Others also stopped and were wary of their surroundings.

Although he knew Shangyuan's real name, due to regulations, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still called by his code name.

Now that he is Hokage, he must lead by example and not be as casual as before.

"It's okay, my feet are slippery." Shangyuan waved his hand. At this moment, he had no mind to think about anything else, because the system that had been silent for 17 years suddenly changed.

The heavy mood was temporarily put aside because of the changes in the system.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shangyuan's worried look and thought he was feeling sad because of what happened to Tobirama-sensei.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said to everyone, "Now that we have left the border of the Land of Thunder, it is safe for the time being. Let us rest for an hour before continuing our return journey."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already the new Hokage personally appointed by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Naturally, no one would have any objections, so they all jumped down from the tree, took out the ration pills, and began to recover.

Shangyuan returned to the tree, adjusting and vigilant. No matter who the Hokage was, protecting the Hokage was always one of his responsibilities as an Anbu.

At the same time, Shangyuan also checked the changes on the panel.

Warm home system:

Preliminary tasks: Awareness of a safe and warm home (1/1)

System status: Starting (1%...99%...100%)

"Ding! The system started successfully!"

"In order to allow the host to have a safe and warm home, this system will provide the host with corresponding home protection capabilities based on the host's home qualifications."

Home Qualifications:

Green Grade C: The required value is more than 10 taels.

Reward: C-level secret book of guardianship*1. If the price is more than 50 taels, there is a very small chance of obtaining an additional S-level secret book of protection*1.

Blue B grade: requires a value of more than 100 million taels.

Reward: B-level secret book of guardianship*1. If the price is more than 500 million taels, there is a small chance of obtaining an additional S-level secret book of protection*1.

Purple A grade: The required value is more than 1000 million taels.

Reward: A-level secret code of guardianship*1. If the price is more than 5000 million taels, there is a small chance of obtaining an additional S-level secret code of protection*2.

Gold S-level: requires a value of more than 1 million taels.

Reward: S-level secret code of protection*1 and a small chance of obtaining SS-level secret code of protection*1. If it is more than 5 million taels, you will receive an additional S-level secret code of protection*2 and a higher chance of obtaining SS-level protection. Level cheats*1

Homes that are not available are gray.

[Note: Homes already owned cannot be sold]

"Ding! Preliminary task: Awareness of a safe and warm home (owning a house worth more than 1000 million taels), completed!"

"Rewards are being distributed..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-level secret book of guardianship*3"

Seeing the belated introduction of this preliminary task, Shangyuan's face twitched under his mask...

A house worth more than 1000 million taels... Money now has not depreciated like in later generations. It only costs about 10 taels to complete an A-level task. And if you never take on B-level tasks or above, you need at least [-] B-level tasks. Level mission!

It is too harsh to be able to complete this preliminary task without spending any money from the rewards obtained from three hundred B-level tasks...

Even if I knew the content of the task early, I still wouldn't be able to complete it!

It is now completed, probably because Tobirama left all his property at the Senju Station to himself.

This stinky uncle...

Thinking of Thousand Hands Feijian, Shangyuan couldn't help feeling sad.

Pulling himself together again, Shangyuan curiously opened this hard-earned secret book, with the relevant introduction written on it:

If you don’t have enough power, how can you protect your warm home!

What kind of introduction is this...

Shangyuan's veins were bulging and his face was black.

Let’s use one to try the effect!

"Y/n use the A-level secret code of guardianship"

Shangyuan clicks [Yes]

"Ding! The host is detected and the host is asked to choose the direction to use!"

Strength: B+ level (+)

Agility: A level (+)

Sword skills: A level (+)

Ninjutsu: B+ level (+)

The current Shangen can be regarded as the best among jounin, almost equivalent to the strength of Kakashi without the Sharingan.

Based on the judgment of one's own strength, one can roughly understand that level A is the jounin level, and level B is almost the chuunin level.

As for the B+ shown above, it is estimated that it has surpassed the ordinary chuunin, but it has not reached the jounin stage.

Shangyuan thought for a while and clicked [+] behind Sword Technique.

【Used successfully! 】

Suddenly, a wave of heat surged through Shangyuan's body. Shangyuan's brain was very clear, and he entered a world of swords in a trance, and his understanding of sword skills further deepened.

Soon after, Shangyuan's eyes flashed with understanding, and his right hand couldn't help but touch the handle of the knife.

It turns out that you can use the sword like this, which is really interesting.

At this point, click Use again, and the panel in front of Shangyuan has changed to:

Strength: B+ level (+)

Agility: A level (+)

Sword skills: A+ level (+)

Ninjutsu: B+ level (+)

Shangyuan curiously clicked [+] on the power, but the result showed [the level does not correspond and cannot be used]

"Yes/No split the Guardian's A-level cheats into two Guardian's B-level cheats"

"Yes/No Fusion of two Guardian A-level cheats into one Guardian S-level cheat"

[The S-level cheats of guardianship can be synthesized 0/1 times]

[The number of times A-level cheats for guardianship can be synthesized is 0/2]

[The B-level cheats of guardianship can be synthesized 0/3 times]

[There is no upper limit to the number of splits! 】

After figuring out that the cheats could be split and fused, Shangyuan chose no.

"Isn't it possible to synthesize it from S level onwards?"

"There is actually an upper limit on the number of synthesis times. I originally thought that I could use eight Cs to directly synthesize an S-level one. Damn, this broken system really doesn't leave any loopholes to be exploited."

"There is no upper limit for splitting, it's so dark!"

Shangyuan curled his lips.

Then there are two remaining A-level secrets of guardianship, one for sword skills and one for agility.

He is a swordsman, and he especially understands the importance of agility and skill in this world where most mages have high attack and low defense.

As for Ninjutsu, apart from the basic Three Body Jutsu and Shadow Clone, as well as some Water Release that Tobirama taught him, he didn't practice any more.

His chakra attribute is the same as Senju Tobirama's, which is water attribute.

Before Shangyuan could think about it, drastic changes took place in his body at this moment. His whole body seemed as light as a feather, and his understanding of sword skills was forcibly elevated to a whole new level.

Shangyuan fell into a mysterious and mysterious realm. Everything in the world had a strange and regular breathing in his feelings. Following this breathing, the lines began to become clear before his eyes.

Shangyuan has a feeling that as long as he follows this breathing pattern, anything can be cut off by it.

【Used successfully! 】

"Ding! Reach S level in swordsmanship and realize the special realm [kill everything]!"

Strength: B+ level (+)

Agility: A+ level (+)

Sword skills: S level (+) [cutting everything]

Ninjutsu: B+ level (+)

In terms of strength, the current Shangyuan can easily beat ten of his previous selves with one hand.

There is no doubt that Shangyuan is already a shadow-like figure.

In terms of sword skills alone, looking at the entire ninja world, no one can compare with him, not even Mifune later!

He has almost reached the pinnacle of his skills.

"If it's Lao Baimao, he should be at least two S-levels. He is a master of ninjutsu and the fastest in the ninja world. Lao Baimao is really strong."

After entering a new realm of swordsmanship, Shangyuan could better understand how powerful Lao Baimao was, and also understood that even if he stayed at that time, it would be of no avail.

"It would be great if I had this strength earlier..."

After gaining strength that far exceeded before, Shangyuan did not feel excited. Instead, he rubbed the handle of the knife anxiously.

He also understood that if Tobirama hadn't broken up and left the inheritance to him, he wouldn't be as strong as he is now.

This is irreversible.

Even if he knew it in advance, he would still be powerless.

Nearly ten years of ninja career have also polished Shangyuan's temperament. Even though he is sad, he will not show it, just like what Lao Bai once said to himself...

"A ninja is someone who can endure pain."

"The so-called ninja heart is made up of wounds one after another. After healing, the ferocious-looking ninja heart is formed."

Walking in the darkest place, yearning for the unreachable light, this is the fate of the ninja...
