XX-level Hokage

After seeing Ino and the others off, Mashiro asked Sakura a question.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that I used to be best friends with Namino, but now..." Koro said with a bitter smile.

"Now that I'm not at school anymore, can't you play with Ino anymore? You and Ino exchanged glances so many times just now; you two just lack the courage to break the ice," Mashiro said calmly.

"This is a gift card from Yunzhi's family. The credit limit is enough for you and Ino to spend. Find some time to go shopping with her after school starts. Friendships never fade." Mashiro stuffed a gold card into Sakura's chest, her expression somewhat dazed, as if she was thinking of something.

Sakura held the gold card in her hand, completely unable to fathom Mashiro's thoughts. So she handed the gold card to Mashiro, saying, "This is too valuable." Mashiro didn't take it, his expression returning to calm. He smiled at Sakura and said, "Keep it. This card comes at a price, you know."

Sakura understood what Zhenbai meant, and then put the card away. She had seen it all, touched it all, and was no longer afraid.

Mashiro led Sakura to a restroom and pulled out a band-aid.

When he came out of the restroom, a triangular piece of fabric appeared in Zhenbai's pocket.

"I'm going back to school tomorrow. I want to see you wearing this outfit. Okay, go home now." Mashiro whispered in Sakura's ear before leaving.

Sakura, utterly embarrassed and blushing, remained standing there, repeatedly cursing Mashiro as a pervert. (Author's note)

Chapter Fifteen: The Book of Seals (Part 1)

The weekend ended, and classes at the ninja academy resumed.

Because Namino woke up late, the classroom was already full of people when she arrived.

After greeting some acquaintances, Ino went to her seat, which was near Sakura's. For some reason, Ino felt that Sakura's expression and state were a bit off. How to put it? She seemed flustered and shy.

Ino simply assumed she had misread it and started staring blankly, holding her head.

In fact, Ino's feeling was not wrong. Sakura was indeed extremely panicked and shy. The three bandages on her body made Sakura feel very insecure and extremely ashamed. She had been silently cursing Mashiro since she arrived at school in the morning. Perhaps she did not even realize that, in addition to panic and shyness, there was also a strange excitement deep in her heart.

Mashiro wasn't lying to Koro; she was indeed going to the Hidden Ones Academy to calculate the time, and it was about time for Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals.

Mashiro lazily got out of bed, washed up, got dressed, and then began to handle family affairs. Having been the Hokage and the Emperor of the Land of Fire in her previous life, she was very familiar with these matters.

After dealing with the family matters that had piled up over the past few days, it was almost noon. Mashiro then got up and headed to the Ninja Academy.

At this moment, in the ninja academy, as time passed little by little, Sakura couldn't help but start to have random thoughts.

"She's not not coming, is she? That bastard, I was so stupid to actually wear such a weird thing..."

Just then, an excited voice rang out. "Big Sister!"

Sakura looked up and saw Mashiro standing not far away, smiling.

Upon seeing Mashiro, Sakura quickly lay down on the table, pretending to be asleep. Then, she squinted and observed Mashiro through her fingers. A very contradictory feeling appeared on her; she both hoped that Mashiro would come and did not want Mashiro to come.

Mashiro approached Hinata's seat, patted Hinata's head, and said, "The school needs me to talk to them about something. Since I'm at school, I thought I'd come and see what's going on in the classroom."

"Big sister, shall we have lunch together near the school? It's been a long time since I've had a meal alone with you, big sister," Hinata said coquettishly, blushing.

"Tomorrow, I need to talk to Naruto and Sasuke about something at noon today. You'll be having lunch with Hanabi at the clan, otherwise she'll get angry again," Mashiro said to Hinata with a smile.

Although Ida was disappointed, there was nothing he could do, so he nodded to indicate that he understood. After talking with Yu, Mashiro turned around and found Naruto.

"Naruto, let's go have lunch together, it's on me," Mashiro said to Hinata with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Looking at Mashiro's smiling face, Naruto blushed and scratched his head, feeling incredibly excited. Yay! Going to eat with Mashiro.

But Naruto's joy didn't last long before Mashiro went to find Sasuke, which made Naruto curse Sasuke in his heart again.

Watching Mashiro go to find the others, Sakura felt inexplicably irritated. She didn't even notice that one of the people Mashiro went to was Sasuke. With the irritation in her heart, Sakura closed her eyes, and at that moment she seemed to really fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Are you upset that I didn't contact you right away?" A familiar voice rang in Xiaoying's ears.

Sakura opened her eyes and saw Mashiro's ambiguous smile. "No way!"

Sakura turned her head to the other side. "Go to the toilet."

After Mashiro finished speaking, she left the classroom. A little while later, Sakura also got up and went out. Ino, who had been silently watching the two of them, secretly followed them.

The toilet Mashiro mentioned was located in the playground, far from the classroom, so almost no one came there. When Sakura arrived at the toilet, Mashiro was already waiting at the door.

When Sakura arrived at the restroom, Mashiro reached out and touched her. Sakura did not resist, but turned her head to look around to see if anyone was there. After confirming that no one was there, she let Mashiro's hand caress her body.

"It's a genuine vehicle, but there's still a slight problem."

Mashiro tugged at Sakura's shorts. Sakura instantly understood what Mashiro meant. "Go to a toilet stall."

Sakura nodded and went inside. Mashiro glanced thoughtfully in one direction before also entering the restroom. Behind a large tree near the restroom, Ino's face was flushed red; she had just seen something.

"Ino, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Sakura asked suspiciously. Ever since she came back from the restroom, Ino had been looking at her from time to time, which made her think that Ino had discovered something.

"It's nothing, I just think your hair tie looks really nice. Did you buy it from Yunzhi's shop?" Namino explained with a smile.

"Yes, I just bought it yesterday." Seeing that Ino didn't seem to be acting strangely, Sakura secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile.

"I'm so envious! My allowance for this month isn't enough. Sakura, how much allowance do you have?" Ino said enviously.

"I don't have much pocket money, but I recently earned quite a bit of money tutoring Hinata and Hanabi," Sakura used the excuse Mashiro had given her.

"Let's go shopping together next week after I get my allowance," Ino said with a smile. "Okay!" Sakura was also very happy.

Then a piece of chalk fell onto Sakura's desk.

"Ninaga, Koro, don't talk in class," Iruka finally couldn't help but say during the lecture.

After school, Mashiro and Naruto sat and chatted at a barbecue restaurant near the ninja academy.

Just as Naruto was looking satisfied, Sasuke pushed open the door and walked in, then quietly sat down next to Mashiro.

Naruto immediately bristled: "You stinky Sasuke, what are you doing here? Get up from Mashiro's side!" Sasuke's expression remained unchanged as he coldly replied: "I have no obligation to explain myself to a loser like you."

"Who are you calling a loser, you arrogant Sasuke? Get out of here and don't disturb me and Mashiro's meal!" Naruto was even angrier. It looked like the two were about to start arguing.

Mashiro stood up and helped Sasuke to his feet, making him sit next to Naruto. Then Mashiro clapped her hands and said, "That's more like it, much better."

"I don't want to be with this arrogant jerk." "I don't want to be with this loser."

"It's time to eat. Anyone who doesn't want to eat can go out."

Before the two could finish speaking, they were interrupted by Mashiro's threatening words, and in the end, they silently took back what they were saying.

"Naruto, the graduation exam is in two days. Are you confident?" Mashiro asked, placing a piece of grilled meat on Naruto's plate. Hearing Mashiro's words, Naruto's face paled slightly, then he quickly smiled: "Of course! I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" "That's good. I knew Naruto would pass," Mashiro said with a smile.

After finishing their meal, Mashiro paid the bill and left first. Only Naruto and Sasuke remained in the restaurant.

"You won't pass." Sasuke said coldly.

"Mind your own business." Naruto made a face at Sasuke and ran off.

Sasuke sighed and walked away.

Chapter Sixteen: The Book of Seals (Part Two)

On the day of the test, most of Iruka's team passed, with only a handful failing, including Naruto.

Naruto became listless and extremely frustrated after failing the test. At this moment, Mizuki walked over with a smile. After receiving the news that Naruto had failed the test, Mashiro knew that tonight was the time to decide.

In Mashiro's view, the Book of Seals is an incredibly powerful existence. As a forbidden book kept by successive Hokage, the scrolls contain a series of forbidden techniques that have been sealed away.

The Four Symbols Seal, the Book of Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Eight Gates Formation, and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman—these incredibly powerful forbidden techniques are all recorded in the Book of Seals.

But to be honest, very few people can learn the forbidden techniques recorded in the book, including Mashiro himself. In his previous life as Hokage, Mashiro also studied the Book of Sealing, but ultimately gained nothing.

However, Mashiro has always maintained an attitude towards these powerful forbidden techniques: she may not know them, but she cannot be without them. Just because she doesn't know them doesn't mean her subordinates don't.

However, it is extremely difficult to get past the Scroll of Seals. Even the Hokage cannot easily take the Scroll of Seals out. Therefore, Naruto's mission is a great opportunity for Mashiro.

As we waited, night fell.

Just as Mashiro remembered, the Third Hokage was monitoring, Mizuki lured away the guards, Naruto used the Sexy Jutsu, and Naruto stole the Scroll of Seals. "The Sexy Jutsu is quite interesting. What would happen if Sasuke used this ninjutsu?" Mashiro muttered to herself, secretly watching.

Naruto's actions continued, learning the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, discovering Mizuki's true purpose, Iruka's appearance, Iruka's injury, and Naruto's outburst.

But just as Naruto was about to defeat Mizuki, a black-clad ninja emerged from the shadows and blocked Naruto's attack, allowing Mizuki to escape.

"Oh no, the Book of Sealing!" Iruka hurriedly tried to give chase, but his injuries prevented him from succeeding. At that moment, a black figure followed.

When Mashiro appeared, the Third Hokage, who was monitoring her with a crystal ball, silently turned off the monitoring.

Mizuki was incredibly excited; he hadn't expected to actually obtain the Book of Seals. He ran for a long time until he felt exhausted and stopped. "We should be fine here," Mizuki said.

“It’s definitely all right now,” Mashiro said, emerging from the shadows.

"You are..." Mizuki was surprised and about to ask something when he saw Mashiro suddenly appear.

A kunai pierced his chest, and Mizuki looked on in disbelief, blood gushing from his mouth. But just as he was about to die, Mizuki suddenly became ruthless.

"Are you here to steal the Book of Seals too? If I die, none of us will get it."

Then, with his last ounce of strength, he threw the Book of Seals into the distance, and then collapsed to the ground, dying instantly. "How interesting."

In his past life, Mashiro actually knew Mizuki. He was a despicable and cunning person with an extremely strong sense of jealousy. Despite having little talent, he possessed immense ambition. This was the kind of person Mashiro loved to exploit, and he felt no burden even if Mizuki died.

Ignoring Mizuki's body, Mashiro walked towards the direction where Mizuki had thrown the Book of Seals. Trying to do this in front of the Byakugan, it seems that Mizuki not only lacks talent, but is also not very bright.

At that moment, in the Richiu Mountain Villa, Yakumo Kurama was painting in the courtyard when suddenly a scroll fell to the side.

Yakumo looked at the scroll beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then picked it up. "What's this?"

"This is the Book of Seals."

"Mashiro emerged from the shadows and spoke."

Yakumo became wary of Mashiro's sudden appearance. "Who are you?"

“My name is Hinata Mashiro, nice to meet you.” Mashiro extended her hand to Yakumo.

Looking at the incredibly beautiful and gentle Mashiro in front of him and her outstretched hand, Yakumo's wariness subsided. He put down his paintbrush and took Mashiro's hand in his.

"I am Yakumo Kurama."

Mashiro looked at Yakumo, and a panel appeared. Name: Kurama Yakumo

Gender: Female Age: 12 Favorability Rating: 25 Relationship: Strangers

Favorability Bonus (50): Reality/Virtual Transformation Favorability Bonus (90): Five Senses Domination

It turns out that she is Kurama Yakumo. In her previous life, Mashiro had never had any contact with Kurama Yakumo. It was only through Li Mo's memories that she learned that there was such a terrifying being in Konoha. However, those memories were like a dream to Mashiro, and she could not remember much of them. Now that she has met Kurama Yakumo, Mashiro has remembered her information.

With the interplay of reality and illusion and the manipulation of the five senses, Masashiro's eyes darkened.

"Are you drawing? But it's so late, can you really see it without a light?" Mashiro asked with a smile. "You don't need to see to draw. You can draw what you dream of," Yakumo said calmly.
