Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

"Escort the caravan?"

After hearing what Neji said, both Shin and Sai were stunned at the same time.

When escorting a caravan, the only enemies you might encounter are local thugs and gangsters. Compared to a B-level mission of fighting against local ninjas, this is at best a C-level mission. If everything goes smoothly, the difficulty won't even be C-level. Therefore, many missions of the same type are reported as D-level difficulties.

The two brothers originally thought that Neji would assign them a task above B-level, but they didn't expect it to be such a simple task. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this time, Nobuhiro and Sai were thinking that Neji didn't trust their own strength?

Noticing the change in Nobuyuki and Sai's expressions, Neji explained:

"I have many considerations in assigning you this task."

As Neji spoke, he put his hands behind his back, showing a thoughtful expression, and continued:

"First of all, the caravan itself can promote economic and cultural exchanges between ninja villages, drive economic development along the way, and especially establish Konoha's prestige among the surrounding small ninja villages and countries!"

Neji said this, but in his heart he had already planned the day when he would take over Konoha in the future.

But after hearing these words, Nobuo and Sai were still a little puzzled. After all, they had been trained as assassins and spies since childhood. They didn't understand these words about economic and cultural development at all. They just felt that they seemed very powerful!

"Secondly, I also know that peace may not last long in the current ninja world. Therefore, you two brothers pretend to be a merchant caravan on the surface, but in fact you are collecting intelligence along the way, and then use Sai's ability to quickly send the information back! This way, we can prepare for the deployment ahead of others to deal with potential threats!"

If Neji's previous words were a little difficult for the two brothers to understand, then these words could be said to be a professional counterpart.

"Pretending to be a caravan, but actually gathering intelligence?!"

Xin shouted excitedly.

"But sir, no, Neji, how did you know my abilities?"

Sai also looked excited, but he was also a little surprised. After all, his super beast fake painting technique had never been shown to anyone other than Gen.

"Haha, of course I know."

Neji said in a mysterious way. After all, he couldn't say that he knew it from watching cartoons.

But this kind of mystification is actually very useful to Nobuo and Sai.

"Great, as expected of Neji, you are indeed very smart and can foresee things like a god!"

Sai and Nobu said in unison that in their eyes, although Neji was about the same age as them, his status and position were obviously completely different, and they all admired Neji in their hearts.

"So when do we leave?"

Xin asked.

"Wait a few days, if your condition doesn't recur, and make sure you're fully recovered, then leave!"

Neji replied, looking at Shin's body with concern, which made Shin feel honored.

"Thank you for your concern, sir!"

Xin knelt down to express his gratitude, and seeing this, Sai also hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Haha, you forgot again! Warning! Don't call me sir!"

Neji said with a smile.

"Yes, Master Neji!"

Xin and Sai said in unison, with a smile on their faces.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

Neji waved his hands helplessly.

"Okay, you guys just rest here for the next few days. I have to go back to the village. Today is the funeral of the Sandaime."

"Okay, sir, take care!"

Nobuyuki and Sai bid farewell to Neji in unison, which made Neji speechless. However, considering the level of ideological enlightenment in the Naruto world, it was not surprising.

. . . . . .

On the way back to the village, Neji went back home and changed into black clothes, then joined the crowd and followed other villagers and ninjas to the Hokage Building.

Although a large-scale battle had just taken place yesterday, due to Neji's excellent command and perfect deployment and response, most of the buildings were not seriously damaged, and the Hokage Building was safe and sound.

Neji thought about it and realized that the building that suffered the most damage that day was the roof that was blown away by Danzo's vacuum ball last night.

In other words, the damage caused by so many enemies is not as serious as that caused by Danzo alone.

It’s a bit ironic when I think about it.

By this time, Neji had arrived at the Hokage Building with the others and met many familiar faces.

At the front was the Hokage's spirit tablet and portrait, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were standing there laying flowers in commemoration of the dead.

Behind them was a large group of Konoha ninjas who came to pay their respects.

There were several guiding jonin, the invigilating chuunin during the chuunin exam, the Twelve Young Ninjas of Konoha, and a large number of ordinary ninjas of Konoha.

Almost all the prominent ninjas in the village were present.

But today, due to the occasion, no one looked very happy, and everyone's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mask, just like today's weather.

Even Naruto, who is usually the most lively, looked dazed at this moment, as if he had lost his spiritual support, and looked at the spirit tablet of the Sandaime with a distracted look.

At this time, a few drops of rain slid down from the sky and fell on everyone's faces.

“It’s raining…”

Xihi Kurenai stretched out her hand and said lightly.

“Is even God crying?”

Asuma Sarutobi said dejectedly, cigarette in his mouth.

During this time, ninjas from Konoha kept coming forward to lay flowers in memory of the Third Hokage, and some of the more fragile ninjas burst into tears on the spot.

"Death is really painful..."

Naruto said as he looked at the Sandaime's portrait.

"Ah, but the Sandaime's death was not in vain. He used his life to protect the future of Konoha..."

Behind Naruto, Kakashi, dressed in black, comforted him gently.

Neji was a little surprised that these Konoha ninjas who were mourning the Sandaime deeply did not mention anything about Danzo.

This morning he took a detour to see the place where he fought with Danzo last night.

The area has been cordoned off with warning tape to prevent others from approaching, and the wounded Danzo and the Root have also been transferred to other places.

Once you are possessed by Izanami, there is no way to get rid of it unless you have a change of heart.

Given Danzo's personality, it would be difficult for him to have a change of heart. He is probably in the hospital with life maintained by a tube.

It's really ironic that the Sandaime died in such a spectacular way, but Danzo was left to rot in a corner.

At this time, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds were torn apart by the sun, revealing the dazzling sunlight, shining on Hokage Yan Yan.

Ningci looked at the four huge statues above his head and began to think:

Now that the Sandaime and Danzo are gone, the leadership problem of the village will probably be difficult to deal with. However, this is also a good thing for me, because without old stubborn people like the Sandaime and Danzo, I can put the matter of overthrowing the Hyuga family's thousand-year rule on the agenda.
