As for his inability to calm down the situation, it's even more ridiculous. He returned to the village with glory and fame, sitting in Anbu's office. Who would dare to challenge him?

Sanshouyu Hanzo's body still hadn't been made into a puppet.

Facing the old senior's question, Shigeru smiled unabashedly:

"It's nothing, I just feel like there are a lot of trivial matters, so I want to find someone to help."

"You kid."

Nara Luxin suddenly felt his blood pressure rise.

Good grief, if you think you have too many things to do, why drag me over to help with your chores?

"Can I refuse?"

"Sorry, you can't."

"… …"

"Are you sure you're only dealing with trivial matters, and you'll handle the important ones yourself?"

Nara Luxin wasn't afraid of handling trivial matters. What he feared was that Shigeru would find an excuse to dump everything on him.

After working with him for so long, Nara Luxin knew Shigeru's personality all too well.

Once that happened, everyone else would be left stunned.

The minister was unreliable, leaving Anbu in the hands of the deputy minister, who then dumped it all on the secretary.

Although Anbu held great power, Nara Luxin had no desire to wield it.

"Senior, don't worry. I'll handle the major issues personally. You just need to help me with the smaller tasks."

Shigeru solemnly assured him.

Although he'd roped Nara in, Shigeru wasn't about to abandon Anbu entirely.

Nara Luxin frowned and gritted his teeth.

"Remember your promise. Otherwise, don't blame me for 'falling ill' and taking a break."

Go ahead and pull a fast one, but don't expect me to put up with it all the time.

"No problem. Then, senior, I'll leave it to you. Thank you for your hard work."

Shigeru smiled and pushed a pile of documents and scrolls in front of Nara Luxin, motioning for him to get started.

Nara Luxin: "..."

Can I take back my words?

After a lifetime of hard work—first helping the Third Hokage manage endless chores—now he was dragged into Anbu to clean up after Shigeru.

There was no doubt about Nara Luxin's abilities.

Capture him now, and when his son grows up, capture him too.

The Nara clan was just too capable. As the saying goes, the capable ones always do more work.

Nara Luxin, now a glorified assistant, didn't yet realize that Shigeru had already set his sights on his son, Nara Shikaku.

Once Shigeru successfully took over Anbu, Tsunade left for the front lines.

With Nara Luxin's assistance, Tsunade could rest assured about Anbu's operations. The only concern was the people in the Hokage's office and the two advisors from the elders' group.

Having delegated most chores to Nara, Shigeru now had more free time.

On the fifth day after Tsunade's departure, exciting news arrived in the village.

Thanks to the village's efforts, the enemies infiltrating the Land of Fire had been largely eliminated. Hatake Sakumo even killed two significant figures from Sunagakure.

These two individuals were none other than the son and daughter-in-law of the elder Chiyo.

The couple had terrible luck. While retreating, they encountered the formidable Hatake Sakumo. After a fierce battle, both fell to his blade.

The latest information scrolls were placed on the table. Shigeru opened one and skimmed through it.

"Senior, don't you think something feels off about Sakumo-senpai's situation?"

"Something off?"

The news of Hatake Sakumo killing Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law had spread like wildfire throughout Konoha. With Anbu inundated with tasks, Nara Luxin had little time to process it.

"Here."

Shigeru handed him the scroll. Nara Luxin read it carefully, his previously calm expression growing more serious.

"You're right; something doesn't feel right. The news spread too quickly and seems overly exaggerated. It feels like someone's deliberately pushing it to promote Sakumo-senpai."

Such news was certainly worth celebrating in the village.

However, the village had neither suppressed nor heavily publicized Shigeru's feat of defeating Hanzo in the Rain Country.

In contrast, Hatake Sakumo's achievements were being praised and circulated through every channel.

It wasn't that Shigeru begrudged Sakumo the recognition, but the motives behind the scenes seemed suspicious.

"Lord Hokage… is it you?"

Nara Luxin's first suspicion was the Third Hokage. The over-the-top promotion of Sakumo's achievements appeared to be a calculated move—likely to overshadow Shigeru's fame.

By drawing attention to Sakumo, they could suppress Shigeru's growing reputation.

"Haha, it seems someone doesn't want me to become the village's hero and is deliberately elevating Sakumo-senpai."

Shigeru laughed and skimmed through the remaining scrolls, quickly losing interest.

The Third Hokage and his supporters had put in a lot of effort, but their strategy had one glaring flaw—Hatake Sakumo's character.

In the original timeline, Sakumo was hailed too highly for this incident.

The praise reached a point where even the daimyo granted him special privileges, and he was given a symbolic Hokage robe.

This eventually led to jealousy and conspiracies against him.

Tsk tsk… keep praising him. Let's see how it all plays out in the end.

Shigeru chuckled, imagining how the Third Hokage's plan might backfire. Hatake Sakumo's straightforward nature made it unlikely he'd interpret this as a slight against Shigeru.

If anything, the excessive praise might isolate Sakumo, creating unintended consequences for the conspirators.

Watching Shigeru laugh uncontrollably, Nara Luxin felt relieved. His earlier worries about a potential rift between Shigeru and Sakumo were unfounded.

As for the Hokage's office… Nara Luxin wanted to ask: "Lord Hokage, have you truly understood Hatake Sakumo's character?"
