At this moment, the largest square in Konoha Village was bustling with people, gathering almost the entire Konoha Village crowd.
Now everyone here is focused on the high platform of the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.
In the past, whenever something was held, it would always be at this place.
The Hokage of Konoha Village can stand on a high platform and overlook the people in the entire village below.
Now.
People gather here.
What awaits is the upcoming ceremony for the succession of the Hokage of Konoha.
After experiencing the farce of this period, after the end of the Third Ninja War, a new period entered.
After the Daimyo of the Land of Fire announced that Minato Namikaze was the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, almost everyone in Konoha Village had recognized this matter. They all knew that Minato Namikaze had become the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. Daime Hokage.
But Naruto also has a process!
After this period of handover, the ceremony for Hokage to succeed Yushu has officially begun. After this ceremony, the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village will officially step onto the stage of history.
At this point in time.
All kinds of people gathered in the bustling area of Konoha Village.
Everyone has different ideas in their mind.
Their eyes were always focused on the high platform, waiting for that moment to appear.
Stand on the front row area directly below the high platform.
Hatake Sakumo was holding a child with his hands. The child had white hair and was wearing a mask. It was Hatake Kakashi.
Hatake Kakashi has just entered school and has not completed his first year of study, but he has already shown extraordinary talent in the ninja school.
It can be said that he is a very famous person in Konoha Village.
Nowadays, almost everyone who has children at home has heard of Chimu Kakashi’s name from their children. In addition, Saimu Kakashi’s father is the famous Konoha White Teeth Hatake Sakumo. This also gives Chimu Kakashi Xi’s body has gained a lot of aura!
"Father, why is the Yondaime Hokage not you?" Kakashi Hatake asked calmly. His eyes seemed to have no emotion, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
"The Hokage will hand it over to the most suitable candidate!" Hatake Sakumo did not answer Kakashi's question directly, because he also knew that it was not that he was not qualified, but that he missed some opportunities many times, but at the moment On a level level, Namikaze Minato is indeed more suitable to be Hokage than him.
"Will my father still have a chance to be Hokage in the future?" Kakashi asked me again and seemed to be quite yearning for such a thing, because any child, in addition to his own dream of becoming Hokage, also hopes that his elder Dad is also Hokage.
"That was your era. I no longer have a chance. However, son, I think you have a chance!" Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly. Now he doesn't even have any regrets in his heart, because with the end of the third generation It also officially announced that these old guys have withdrawn from the stage of Konoha Village's history.
"I will work hard!"
Hatake Kakashi nodded immediately. In fact, he didn't care that much about the position of Hokage. To a certain extent, he was more concerned about whether his father would become Hokage.
He has cared about his father very much since he was a child, and he was also the one who was most affected.
So he had been watching his father possess the half-sleeved Hokage robe, but had yet to become Hokage. In his heart, he began to regard Hokage as his goal, but this was his father's goal.
Now that I hear my father say that they have a chance to become Hokage, I feel more or less sad inside. I hope that I can make up for the regrets in my father's heart by becoming Hokage myself.
"Namikaze Minato is the person I contacted to be your Jonin teacher, but now he has become the Hokage of Konoha Village. I don't know if there is still a chance. I will talk to him later when I have time. If not, , I’ll ask him to recommend another person to you!”
Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi's determined expression, with a happy smile on his face. In any case, he hoped that his son could grow up healthy and strong.
At this time, Namikaze Minato has not officially become Hatake Kakashi's teacher, but he has taken the lead in becoming Hokage. This order has been reversed from the original historical trajectory.
Once the inversion occurs, things become different.
This feeling is like when I was a student, the class teacher suddenly became the director of the teaching department. When I see the director in the future, I can still call the teacher "teacher", but if the teacher becomes the director first, then he will no longer teach the class.
Namikaze Minato has become the Hokage of Konoha Village, so the burden on him will become heavier, there will be more decisions to be made, and the energy involved will be greater, making it difficult to be a teacher again. The genin was led.
This may require another person to do it.
Hatake Sakumo was mentally prepared for this.
…
The other side.
Jiraiya, a silver-haired man wearing a red-colored make-up with chic makeup, was staring at the stage with a smile on his face.
actually.
for him.
He was still happier in his heart.
It's not because the third generation didn't continue to be Hokage, but because Namikaze Minato became the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
To some extent.
Jiraiya has never particularly trusted Namikaze Minato, especially after receiving the prophecy from the Great Toad Sage, and he did not think that the son of the prophecy was Namikaze Minato.
but.
Namikaze Minato was his disciple after all.
He was also very happy to be able to become Hokage.
"Minato, come on!"
Jiraiya silently murmured in his heart that he came back this time for two main purposes.
The first one is to witness the arrival of a new era in Konoha Village.
The second is to find Fugaku, the author of those high-quality works.
Now the first thing is about to come to fruition, and what awaits him will be the second thing that follows.
This is what he cares about most!
All of a sudden.
Jiraiya was already starting to get excited.
"I just don't know where that guy Orochimaru has gone. After the things here are settled, I have to find him out and let him see what he has done to the village!"
Jiraiya thought about it and narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the fierce light in his eyes. As one of the Sannin of Konoha, the disciple of the Third Hokage and the mentor of the Fourth Hokage, when he was thinking about things, Think about more things that involve the overall situation.
These things are still very important!
"but… "
"Nagato what happened?"
"According to Xiaonan..."
"It seems like something terrible happened!"
Jiraiya kept thinking in his mind. Regarding Nagato, Konan did not explain in detail, but only revealed that something happened.
But Jiraiya didn't know exactly what happened.
These all provided him with an opportunity to leave Konoha Village again, allowing him to slowly investigate and figure everything out in the subsequent events.
…
Best friends Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto stood together, talking and laughing with each other, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Kushina, congratulations. Minato is going to become Hokage, and you will be Mrs. Hokage from now on!" Uchiha Mikoto joked with a smile. The relationship between the two of them is very good, and there are many things they can say. There is no need to So many concerns.
"You too!" Kushina nodded, stared at Kushina and said: "Isn't Uchiha Fugaku also going to become the leader of the Uchiha clan, and also serve as the minister of the security department!"
"Why… "
When Uchiha Mikoto mentioned Uchiha Fugaku, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
During this time, she had agreed to Uchiha Fugaku's pursuit.
But there was always a lingering shadow in her heart, which made her feel a sense of loss every time she thought about the possibility of losing the opportunity to contact that person after getting married.
"You're not still thinking about Qingyu, are you?"
Kushina's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at her best friend in surprise. She felt that the latter seemed to be poisoned and could not control herself at all.
"No... no... no such thing!"
Uchiha Mikoto suddenly shook her head repeatedly. Even she herself didn't know why she was suddenly so nervous.
but…
She knew it in her heart.
There are some secrets that cannot be told to Kushina!
Even if Kushina is her best friend!
It’s better to keep it in your heart!
…
Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Haiichi, and Akimichi Choza stand together. Now after the Third Ninja War, they are already the backbone of the Ino Shikacho family, but they have not taken over the family's legacy. Big flag.
It’s not that they’re not qualified.
But the family is still thinking about Namikaze Minato.
The three Inar, Deer, and Butterflies families have always been on good terms with the Sarutobi clan. During the days when Sarutobi Hiruzen was Hokage, the three families were constantly growing and developing rapidly.
Now there is a change of Hokage.
No one knows exactly what political stance Namikaze Minato holds.
This needs to be tested.
so…
The best way at the moment is to keep things unchanged and let the experienced old family heads complete this transition so that the family can smoothly enter the fourth generation era.
"Time flies so fast!"
Yamanaka Haiichi stared at the empty Hokage's high platform. Although there was no one on it, each of them knew that it wouldn't be long before the Hokage's handover ceremony was about to take place here.
From now on…
Namikaze Minato will officially become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village!
You must know that they are all classmates in the ninja school. They have not yet become the talkmakers of their respective families, but Minato Namikaze has become the leader of the entire village.
This gap is really too strong!
"Yes! Minato is already the Hokage! His dream was still in his ears when he was in school!" Akimichi Choza sighed.
"We have to be more careful from now on, Minato is not that simple!"
Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice. When he said these words, his whole face was gloomy.
As an assistant in the Hokage's office.
Now he had no idea whether his job could still be kept, or whether Minato would still use him.
After all, he was from three generations before!
This may well become a weapon of political sacrifice.
but.
From another perspective.
It is precisely because Nara Shikaku once worked in the Hokage's office that he understands more clearly what happened during this period.
Nara Shikaku is very smart.
He was so smart that just by looking at the superficial phenomena, he inferred that Namikaze Minato had a strong layout ability.
The current situation in Konoha Village is all under the control of Namikaze Minato.
This is no exaggeration!
only…
What Nara Shikaku doesn't know is...
Namikaze Minato didn't play an overly leading role here, it was all because he had an expert behind him.
and.
Neither of them realized it.
The master behind Namikaze Minato is Yamanaka Aoba who they have ignored for a long time.
…
Qingyu brought Tsunade into the crowd, but no one paid any attention to them, and their presence was still very low.
Neither of them spoke.
Tsunade's body is under a wide cloak and she is wearing a cat-face mask. If you don't look carefully, it's impossible to determine the gender.
"It's about to begin."
Qingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly. He focused his eyes on the high platform and looked with his eyes like everyone else. He did not use chakra to cover Konoha Village. After all, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the village. It would be too easy to attract attention. .
After Qingyu's extremely weak voice that only Tsunade could hear sounded.
The noisy area of Konoha Village suddenly felt like an explosion, and cheers arose.
Within their sight.
A figure walked out from the high platform.
It was none other than the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen wearing a Hokage robe.
This was the last time that the third generation wore the uniform of Hokage. After the formal succession ceremony was completed, he withdrew from the political stage of Konoha Village.
Immediately afterwards.
Behind three generations.
A young man also wearing a Hokage robe appeared in people's sight. His yellow hair attracted everyone's attention. His warm and handsome face gave people an extremely comfortable feeling.
This boy is Namikaze Minato.
only…
The current Namikaze Minato does not wear the Hokage hat.
This is part of the transition.
The succession ceremony of Hokage begins with the handover of the Hokage hat. The moment Minato Namikaze officially puts on the Hokage hat, he becomes the real Fourth Generation Hokage.
At this moment.
The third generation walked forward with heavy steps.
When he saw so many people looking forward to it, he no longer had any regrets in his heart.
"Cough cough cough..."
Sandai immediately cleared his throat, causing the scene to become quiet and attracting the entire audience's attention to him.
"Everyone must know why everyone is gathered here today!"
"Today is a rare big day for Konoha Village!"
"We will hold the Hokage Succession Ceremony of Konoha Village!"
"Official celebration of Namikaze Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's magnetic voice slowly sounded, and the sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, raising the anticipation of everyone present to the extreme.
