Three more days passed.
Naoki finally completed his mission and returned to the village. Soon after he passed through the gate, he heard all sorts of news about Esdeath. And when he heard that she was being called the "Ice Goddess", he was simply shocked.
Even on his way home, he heard many people talking about Esdeath. He returned home and immediately called her to find out about the situation. Since she was summoned by Naoki, there was a special connection between them. Once he activated this connection, Esdeath would immediately know that he was looking for her.
Soon Esdeath came to Naoki's apartment.
"Master, you're back, did the mission go well?" Esdeath asked.
Naoki nodded and asked back, "You've become quite popular in Konoha these days, but your origins are unknown. Have the Hokage and others been looking for you?"
When Esdeath heard the question, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she took out a brand new ID card that clearly read, "Konoha Resident, Esdeath."
"Where did you get this ID?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.
"The day before yesterday, I was summoned by the village leader, the Third Hokage. Unexpectedly, it was very easy to communicate with him. I briefly explained my situation to him, and he gave me this ID card. From now on, I can be considered a legal resident of Konoha..." Esdeath explained indifferently.
Did she really go to the Third?
When Naoki remembered the old man's character, he probably understood why he gave Esdeath an ID card. Damn lecherous old man...
Esdeath was too beautiful, he of course agreed to her small request. There was definitely nothing strange about it.
After all, although Esdeath's origins were unknown, she was apparently just an ordinary woman without chakra, and it wouldn't be hard to give her the status of a Konoha resident. In any case, Konoha isn't a completely closed village: it's quite normal for outsiders to come and live in the village.
Moreover, even if Esdeath is a spy sent by the enemy, Konoha's top brass has ways of dealing with spies, and naturally they won't be afraid of a woman of unknown origin and drive her out of the village.
Thus, Esdeath received an official document confirming her identity, and Naoki felt as if a weight had been lifted from his soul.
Thinking about this, Naoki asked again, "Esdeath, what are your future plans?"
Even though she was summoned by him, she would completely obey his decision. With her power, she could also be used as a trump card, but Naoki did not want to completely bind her to himself and have her be his servant. Esdeath should have her own life and goals, not follow him around all day long.
Naoki just wanted to be a quiet jonin and not get into all sorts of trouble all the time.
"I want to become a ninja and then pass the certification in Konoha. I want to broaden my horizons and see the powers that be!" Esdeath thought for a moment and said.
"Well then, you should be careful. If anything happens, I'll find you," Naoki nodded.
. . . . . .
In the following days, Esdeath did indeed go to be assessed as a shinobi.
Simply because Esdeath was not a local, and if she wanted to become a Konoha shinobi, she needed someone to recommend her. If there is no recommendation, you must pass the test, and only after that, will they decide whether you will become a Konoha shinobi or not.
This issue cannot be resolved overnight, and Naoki let her figure it out on her own while he continued to live the boring life of an ordinary jonin.
Mission, vacation, mission, vacation. . . .
Soon it was time for the fifth lottery, but unfortunately it did not bring anything useful, only a piece of meat from another world. He invited Esdeath to eat it together, but other than the special taste, it did not give much effect.
Obviously, he wouldn't get good things every time. The previous draws had actually been extremely lucky. Naoki wasn't upset when he didn't get anything good in the lottery and continued his boring life as a jonin.
One day he unexpectedly received a special assignment.
And the initiator of this mission turned out to be Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan!
