Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Above the ruins within Konoha Village.

Basically all the Ninja were talking about Lan Mingang.

"Instantly killing everyone in the Akatsuki Organization with just a look, it's simply terrifying!"

"Speaking of which, who is that person? Why haven't I seen him? And why have I never heard of him being so powerful?"

"I heard he's called Lan Mingang, Lady Tsunade's husband. The only building that remained completely unharmed under Pain's Ninjutsu was his villa."

"Damn, so it was his, how terrifying!"

"He's simply as powerful as the legendary Six Paths Sage! No wonder Hokage-sama is so respectful towards him."

The three from Hidden Cloud Village who were looking for the Hokage heard the discussion among the Konoha Ninja.

Karui and Omoi were both wondering who Lan Mingang was.

And Samui, who knew Lan Mingang, showed urgency on her face for the first time.

Samui took a deep breath, regained her calm expression, and walked towards the people who were talking.

"Excuse me, where is the Lan Mingang you are talking about now?"

One of the Hyuga Clan Ninja, seeing that the newcomers didn't seem to be from Konoha Village, asked cautiously:

"Who are you?"

The other Ninja around him also became vigilant.

This headband... from Hidden Cloud Village!

What are they doing in Konoha Village now?

Are they taking advantage of the situation?

Karui and Omoi, seeing that the situation wasn't quite right, also prepared for battle.

But they were stopped by Samui.

Samui said calmly:

"We are envoys from Hidden Cloud Village, here to deliver Raikage-sama's letter to your Hokage-sama!"

"As for asking about Lan Mingang, it's because I have something I need to see him about."

Saying this, Samui handed a letter to the Hyuga Clan Ninja in front of her.

The Hyuga Clan Ninja took the letter but did not open it. After a brief inspection to confirm there was no danger, he sealed the envelope inside a scroll and said:

"I will report this matter upwards, please wait here."

After a short while, a large bird flew from the sky. After the Hyuga Clan Ninja tied the scroll to the bird's leg, he released the large bird.

"Oh right, if you are looking for Master Lan Mingang, you can go take a look at the river outside the Village."

"Master Lan Mingang often taught his students there before."

While Karui and Omoi were still wondering who Lan Mingang was, Samui said to the two of them:

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."

"If I don't come back, just follow Raikage-sama's orders and go find Hokage-sama first."

"Huh?"

Karui and Omoi looked at each other, a little confused.

It was the first time they had seen Samui so concerned about someone.

"Um, Konoha Ninja, who exactly is Lan Mingang?"

...

By the small river outside Konoha Village, Lan Mingang was fishing with his gear.

In the distance, Samui looked at the figure who was fishing, feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.

Is it him?

Why are his hair color and hairstyle different from what she remembered?

At this moment, Samui's heart was more flustered than ever before.

Coming to a spot not far from Lan Mingang, just as Samui was about to speak, Lan Mingang's voice sounded in her ear.

"Long time no see, Samui."

The voice she had thought about day and night entered her ears.

Samui was absolutely certain that the person in front of her was the strong individual who had repelled the Eight-Tails years ago.

Lan Mingang put down the fishing gear in his hand and turned to look at Samui.

A wooden chair appeared beside him.

"Come, sit. It's been so many years, Samui has grown up a lot."

Lan Mingang's voice was full of warmth, which made the originally nervous Samui relax quite a bit.

The two of them sat by the river and talked for a long time.

"So you came to Konoha Village to see the Hokage and participate in the Five Kage Summit to discuss the matter of eliminating the Akatsuki Organization?"

"Mhm!" Samui nodded.

"Is there a problem, Ming Ang?"

"A little. Because the Akatsuki Organization was already eliminated by me two days ago, they basically exist only in name."

"Ah!" Samui was shocked. She had heard from passing Konoha Village Ninja that Konoha Village was destroyed by the Akatsuki Organization, but due to the tight schedule and important mission, she hadn't pressed for details.

She didn't expect that the moment the Akatsuki Organization destroyed Konoha Village, they would be wiped out by Lan Mingang the next second!

"Then this Five Kage Summit..."

Raikage-sama convened this Five Kage Summit specifically to hold them accountable and discuss eliminating the Akatsuki Organization.

But now that the Akatsuki Organization is gone, is there still a need for the Five Kage Summit to proceed?

"The Five Kage Summit still needs to proceed as normal, because at that time, Ninja will go to the meeting place and declare war on the Five Great Ninja Villages."

"Declare war on the Five Great Ninja Villages!" Samui exclaimed.

She could hardly believe what Lan Mingang said.

Who on earth would have such guts to declare war on the five strongest Ninja Villages at once?

This is simply asking for death.

"You'll know when the time comes. Let's go, your companions are already coming to find you to go see the Hokage together."

Lan Mingang and Samui walked towards the Village.

They met Karui and Omoi at the Village entrance.

Upon seeing Lan Mingang together with Samui, Karui looked infatuated.

Her heart was filled with wild joy.

"What a handsome guy, is he coming to confess to me?"

Omoi, who was beside her, saw Karui's expression and delivered a hand chop to her head.

"Hey!"

"Calm down, stop daydreaming!"

Earlier, after Samui heard the Konoha Ninja talking about Lan Mingang, she left the two of them to find Lan Mingang.

Coupled with what she had learned about Lan Mingang from the Konoha Ninja, it was clear that the person in front of them was the Lan Mingang who had destroyed the Akatsuki Organization with a single glance.

A strong person like him taking a liking to you? Confessing to you?

Just go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

The Konoha Ninja responsible for leading the way saw Lan Mingang and said respectfully:

"Master Lan Mingang!"

Lan Mingang nodded slightly.

Karui and Omoi also bowed slightly to show respect.

Led by the Konoha Ninja, the four people arrived at the temporary base outside Konoha Village.

Minato was a little surprised to see Lan Mingang and the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja coming together.

He quickly asked:

"Master Lan, do you need something from me?"

"Nothing, I'm just preparing to go take a look at the Five Kage Summit."

Hearing this, Minato's mind was filled with thoughts.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to the Anbu directly under the Hokage beside him:

"From now on, Master Lan will be the 'Hokage's Super Kage' of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, with authority above the Hokage."

"He will oversee and manage all matters, big and small, in Konoha Village."

"Oh, right."

Minato looked at the three from Hidden Cloud Village.

"The one responsible for attending this Five Kage Summit will also be our Konoha Village's 'Hokage's Super Kage'."

"For specific matters, please discuss them with Master Lan."

"Huh?" Karui and Omoi were a little taken aback by the Hokage's move.

No, what is this 'Hokage's Super Kage'?

What kind of weird name is this?

Are you serious?

His authority is above the Hokage, aren't you afraid he'll rebel?

And what the hell is appointing someone to a position with authority above your own?

Is this reasonable?

By the way, don't you Konoha Village need to communicate with the Land of Fire's Daimyo when appointing positions?

There were so many points to complain about at once that Karui and Omoi didn't know where to start.
