"What?! Ask for money again! In the makeshift conference room, the Fire Nation official said with a bearded glare, "Didn't the Daimyo-sama just fund a sum of money a few days ago?" ”

"The superficially peaceful ninja world is really surging, and every time the enemy attacks Konoha Village, the more it shows that the enemy is afraid of Konoha Village, and if there is a problem in Konoha Village, then the enemy's actions will be even more unscrupulous."

Shikamaru said to the Fire Country official in front of him, his meaning was already quite obvious, if there was a problem in Konoha Village, then the Fire Country would also be harassed by the enemy, and it would be a question whether the Fire Country Daimyo would be able to hold on at that time.

However, this kind of thing must not be said explicitly, otherwise it will become a threat from Konoha Village to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, such a simple thing, Shikamaru still understands.

"This ......" can become an official of the Fire Country, which is not a human spirit, and of course the Fire Country official also understands what Shikamaru means, "I want to ask the Daimyo-sama." ”

With the development of scientific ninja equipment, computers and mobile phones have gradually become popular in the ninja world.

"Daimyo-sama, it's me...... Yes, yes, Konoha Village has been attacked by the enemy again, and it needs a sum of money to rebuild it...... Well, yes, I know, don't worry, Daimyo-sama......" The Fire Country official who hung up the phone took a deep breath, then turned to look at Naruto and Shikamaru and said, "Daimyo-sama has agreed, he can fund you a sum of money for free." ”

"Great!"

Naruto and Shikamaru looked at each other and smiled.

"However, the daimyo has a request." The Fire Nation official looked at Naruto and said, "Lord Daimyo's request is that the seventh Hokage abdicate and Boruto Uzumaki will serve as the eighth Hokage. ”

"The thing that never happened to the shadow of the Daimyo designated the village......"

Shikamaru frowned.

"Ninja Bill, Daimyo-sama is qualified to interfere with the Hokage selection in Konoha Village."

Shikamaru's frowning brows gradually relaxed, this time choosing Boruto as the eighth Hokage is more like a test of the Fire Nation Daimyo on whether Konoha Village will comply with the Ninja Law.

Naruto's abdication and Naruto's son serving as Hokage would not cause any harm to Naruto's rights, that is, Naruto would just lose his name as Hokage.

"I'm going to discuss this with Hokage-sama."

"Absolutely."

The Fire Nation official nodded, got up and left the makeshift conference room.

"Shikamaru, what do you think?"

Naruto looked at Shikamaru and asked him what he thought about the matter, and as Hokage's assistant, Shikamaru made excellent decisions on many things.

"Naruto, this time it's obviously a test of the Daimyo-sama on whether we will comply with the Ninja Law, and the reason why Boruto was chosen is because even if Boruto is elected as the eighth Hokage, it won't affect you, so, I think it's okay."

"Hmm....." Naruto folded his hands in deep thought over his chest, "Well, as long as it's good for the village, it doesn't matter if it's an abdication......"

With the arrival of financial assistance from the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, the reconstruction of Konoha Village is also in full swing.

Soon, the Hokage was rebuilt.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Boruto, Kakashi, Tsunade, and a group of shinobi gathered in the Hokage's office.

"In just a few days, Konoha Village was destroyed in a row, and as the Hokage, I need to take responsibility for not protecting the village, so I chose to abdicate and let Boruto Uzumaki serve as the eighth Hokage."

Because it was revealed a little in advance, everyone present did not show a surprised expression, and everyone also understood, so Naruto did not have the title of Hokage, but Konoha Village was actually still led by Naruto.

At the very least, it will continue until Boruto can take charge on his own.

Naruto stepped down and Boruto assumed the role of the eighth Hokage soon spread throughout Konoha Village.

"Huh? What is this for? ”

Looking at the old man in front of him and measuring his cheeks, Boruto remained motionless, his eyes slightly glancing at Naruto who was standing on the side and asked.

"It's a preparation for the carving of Hokage Rock." Naruto smiled and said, "Bear with me, I've been through all these troublesome things when I became Hokage......"

"How can you say that this is a troublesome thing!" The old man who carved the Hokage Rock said dissatisfiedly, "The Hokage Rock has a special meaning for Konoha Village, it is a manifestation of the will of fire in another way, and it is the symbol of Konoha Village......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Looking at the old man who couldn't stop talking, Naruto hurriedly apologized and said.

"Hmph, I've already finished measuring."

"Grandpa, please carve me more handsomely."

Boruto said to the old man.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you handsome."

Looking at the figure of the old man leaving, Boruto stood up from his chair, stretched and said, "It's finally over......"

"It's not over yet, Boruto, the mother-in-law in charge of the Hokage robe will come and measure it for you."

"Huh?"

Because of her mother-in-law's short stature, she needs to stand on a small bench to measure Boruto's body.

"Stand up straight!"

The mother-in-law, who stepped on the small bench, slapped Boruto's arched back and said.

"It's just making Hokage robes, so you don't need to be so serious."

"No! The Hokage robe and Hokage hat are the symbols of the Hokage of Konoha Village! If it doesn't fit, it will be ridiculed by other villages, and even Konoha Village will be disgraced by it! ”

......

"Hey! Boruto, tomorrow is your Hokage's inauguration ceremony, don't sleep like your father. ”

In the evening, Shikamaru quipped Boruto.

"I'm not going to be like that stupid dad."

"However, speaking of which, you learned really fast, those books that served as the Hokage's must-read, Naruto was quite a headache at the beginning."

"I'm not like that stupid dad......"

Maybe it's the fact that he's been busy with being the Hokage these days that makes Boruto look a little tired now.

"That's it, goodbye, Boruto."

"Well, goodbye, Uncle Shikamaru, I will ask you to take care of the Hokage's affairs in the future."

After Shikamaru's figure disappeared completely, the masked blackened instant fire appeared next to Boruto.

"Congratulations, Boruto, you've become the Hokage."

“...... I want to know why the Daimyo-sama asked me to become the Hokage. ”

"It's just to test whether Konoha Village will comply with the Ninja Bill, and the reason why I chose you is also because you are Naruto's son, and making you the Hokage will not weaken Naruto's power."

“......”

Although Boruto nodded, his heart already had a distrust of the blackening instantaneous, after all, it was all too coincidental.

"By the way, I almost forgot about it......"

Regarding the process of the Hokage's succession ceremony tomorrow, although it is an unrelated matter, let's tell Boruto.

Shikamaru, who returned halfway because of this, happened to see Boruto and the side of the blackened instant fire.
