Naruto: The ANBU God

"Tsunade-sama, are you okay?!"

After Luo Lei left, Shizune finally came to her senses, stomped the ground in frustration, and said, "Luo Lei-sama... he... he dared to hit you! It's too outrageous, it's madness!"

"Mmh..."

Tsunade touched her cheek and whispered, "It doesn't feel that painful, it seems he showed some mercy."

"It doesn't hurt?"

Shizune looked at the swollen mark of the palm on Tsunade's cheek, her eyes widening.

Impossible!

Doesn't it hurt to get slapped like that on the face? Could it be that my master... is a masochist?!

"Hahahaha!"

At that moment, Tsunade seemed to recall something, regained her composure, and let out a hearty laugh. "Now that I know part of the truth, I'll follow Luo Lei and enjoy the show."

"You're not going gambling?"

Shizune asked incredulously.

She remembered how Tsunade had talked about her plans. After the war ended, she intended to go to the best casinos in the ninja world and gamble until she was exhausted.

"Not for now."

Tsunade's eyes gleamed with an intense coldness. "I want to return to the village and see Homura being killed by Luo Lei with my own eyes."

Homura had to die. He had to pay for all the lives he had taken, for all the destruction he had caused.

"..."

Shizune clenched her teeth tightly, her fists tightening, and said with determination, "I will support Luo Lei-sama too."

"What a daring man..."

After hearing this, Tsunade caressed her slapped cheek again, while an unusual spark of excitement lit up her eyes.

It was the first time a man had dared give her a clean slap!

And despite that, the sting on her cheek didn't bother her. It was a strange sensation, a mixture of suffering and... something akin to happiness.

...

The next day

Kumogakure signed several unequal treaties with Konoha, and the news that Yugito Nii had been given to the Ninja God - Luo Lei, as a servant, spread across the world at lightning speed.

Although the hearts of countless ninjas around the world had been prepared for this for a long time,

But... when they heard how it had happened, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The Raikage was stomped to death! Kumogakure was forced to sign an unequal treaty, and then, on their own initiative, they gave Yugito Nii as a servant to the Ninja God.

The power of Konoha was at its peak, and Luo Lei's reputation was even more feared.

With the news of Luo Lei's return to the village, countless fans in Konoha were excited and full of enthusiasm. Everyone had begun eagerly anticipating his return along with his troops.

This time, they would be welcomed as true heroes.

.....

Three days later.

At the entrance to the village of Konoha:

The civilians and ninjas of almost the entire village were gathered here, the anticipation and excitement vibrating in the air.

Looking around, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, the Nara clan, and other clans were there, perfectly aligned in their assigned spots.

"Luo Lei-sama is about to return! The great hero of Konoha is coming back!"

"The... the Ninja God! Without him, the World War would have lasted many more years! He is our savior!"

"The man who fought against four ninja villages and defeated Madara Uchiha! Luo Lei-sama is a true blessing to this village!"

"He is a god! Luo Lei-sama is comparable to the First Hokage himself, Hashirama Senju!"

Excited shouts echoed everywhere.

Many civilians had gathered, and on their faces was more than just excitement: their eyes shone with genuine devotion, an almost religious admiration.

After all, they were about to see the most powerful being in the world, the man who had ended the war on his own.

The Ninja God!

The Superhero of Konoha!

Homelander - Luo Lei!

Among the ninjas present, there were no shouts, but their faces and eyes revealed a mixture of respect, admiration, and, above all, expectation. They eagerly awaited seeing him with their own eyes.

And at the front of everyone.

Standing imposingly were the elders of the Konoha Council: the Third Hokage, Hiruzen; Koharu; Homura; and Danzo.

At that moment, hearing the civilians' enthusiastic words, the four of them remained impassive in appearance, but inside...

Unease and concern stirred!

They knew Luo Lei's prestige would be elevated with this event, but they hadn't expected it to reach this level. The civilians were almost on the verge of madness, worshipping Luo Lei as a god!

"Hiruzen...!"

Homura couldn't help but swallow, anxiety evident on his face as he spoke in a low voice, "I don't know why, but I have a terrible premonition... Something feels wrong."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Koharu let out a confident chuckle. "Look around you, Homura. Civilians and ninjas from the entire village are here. If Luo Lei dares to act recklessly, his image will be destroyed in front of the whole village!"

"Exactly...!"

Hiruzen, dressed in his Hokage cloak and hat, nodded solemnly. "There's nothing to worry about, Homura. Luo Lei knows very well what's at stake. He wouldn't risk his position as a Superhero and role model in front of all these eyes. It would be public suicide!"

"You're right..."

Homura hesitated for another second but then let out a sigh, relaxing slightly.

Yes, it made sense.

What did he have to fear?

After all, Danzo had already agreed to take the blame.

Besides, he didn't believe Luo Lei would be crazy enough to attack him in plain view of the entire village. Now that there were so many people here, the advantage was clearly on his side.

"Hahaha...!"

But Danzo, who had remained silent until now, had a different expression in his eyes: a spark of amusement and satisfaction.

Homura, get ready! You're going to pay for everything you've put me through!

This was about to become a truly entertaining play.
