Chapter 168: The Sixth Hokage Natsume
"Hokage-sama."
After bowing slightly, Sunset Red said, "The daimyo has agreed to Lord Natsume as the sixth Hokage. ”
"He didn't come with you?"
Tsunade nodded, and then asked, "The Hokage can't officially take office without the personal authorization of the Daimyo." ”
"The daimyo wants to see Natsume-sama, so I want him to go to the Metropolis of Fire Land in person."
Sunset Red took out a letter and said, "This is a warrant from the Daimyo. ”
"Is that so?"
Tsunade tore open the envelope and glanced at it quickly, but there was nothing noteworthy.
As is customary, there really are no problems.
After all, the Daimyo is a noble person, and under normal circumstances, it is the Hokage who goes to meet him.
"Red, thank you for your hard work."
Tsunade put away the warrant and smiled, "You go down first." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
Sunset Red replied immediately, and after bowing again, turned and left the Hokage's office.
"Looks like you're going to have to make a trip to the Fire Nation Metropolis."
Tsunade casually handed the warrant to Natsume, who was standing behind him.
"It's okay, I have the Flying Thunder God technique, so I can't delay any time."
Natsume didn't look at the warrant.
"Then let's prepare for a meeting of the upper ninja."
Tsunade had a relaxed expression on his face and said, "I've been a Hokage for a few years, and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I really don't know how the old man persevered? And it's as good as it gets. ”
"Everybody is different."
Natsume smiled and said, "That's why my sister is so unique." ”
"If you have time to talk nicely, you might as well inform the ninjas."
Although Tsunade's tone was more disgusting, his face was quite useful.
"Hmm."
Natsume nodded and headed to the Hokage's secretary's office next door.
"Uncle Hiza, please go and inform the upper shinobi in Konoha, the morning after tomorrow to hold a meeting of the upper ninja, there is a big event to announce."
"No problem!"
Hinata Hinata couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and the expression on her face became extraordinarily bright.
Because he had already learned in advance from Hinata Hinata that Natsume was about to become the Hokage, and he was promoted to Hokage Advisor.
Now that it's confirmed, nature can't help it.
Natsume glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Wait until he officially takes office, and then deal with the caged bird.
However, it was mainly based on Hinata Hinata.
I just don't know if she has the courage now.
Well, it seems that I have to teach a good teacher as a teacher.
Time flies.
Two days went by in a flash.
The Hokage Building Council Chamber.
At this time, it was already full.
Most shinobi don't know anything about what happened next.
Only some people got the news in advance, so they were relatively calm.
"Three generations of adults, why are you here?"
With the arrival of the ape flying in the noisy meeting hall, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Since Tsunade took office, he has been idle at home, not meddling in anything in Konoha, and naturally he will not attend any meetings.
Today, his sudden appearance is undoubtedly a hint that something big is happening.
This makes some of the shinobi seem restless, for fear that it has something to do with them.
Although Ape Fei Ri Chop is retired, his place is definitely in the first row.
Originally, Natsume was sitting in the center, but now it is occupied by him.
"Kosuke, long time no see."
"Three generations of adults."
Kosuke Marushi reacted calmly.
"We've known each other for so long, and now I'm also an ordinary ninja, you can just call me Hizaki."
Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect you to be willing to take the position of the head of the Konoha Police Department."
Of course, what he didn't expect was Tsunade and Natsume's transformation of the Konoha Police Department.
How so?
It is indeed a stroke of genius.
Bring back a private weapon that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan back into the hands of the Hokage.
And even the contradictions with the villagers have been resolved.
"It's nothing, since Konoha has a place to get me, I am naturally obliged."
Maru Xing Gu Jie's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "It's just that you appeared today, did you come specifically to oppose it?" ”
He is the head of the Konoha Police Department, so he is naturally a high-level Konoha executive, so he also knows the purpose of this Shangnin meeting.
"Am I that kind of person in your mind?"
Ape Fei Ri slashed and smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Although he really couldn't let go of it before, he now has no other thoughts.
"That's the best."
Kosuke Maru glanced at him and said, "After all, you are no longer the Hokage, so don't meddle in Konoha affairs." ”
"You're so optimistic about Natsume?"
Ape Fei Ri was a little surprised, and said, "Although his strength is good, he is a young man after all, and it is easy to make mistakes." ”
"It's not about optimism, it's about experience."
Maru Xing Kosuke shook his head and said.
Natsume's performance as Hokage's assistant in the past few years, he has seen it all.
Far more sophisticated and decisive than the ape flying sun.
Even some trivial matters of the Konoha Police Department can be handled in an orderly manner.
Sarutobi had never worked with Natsume, and he had heard rumors of only a few words.
So I don't understand Marushi Kosuke's answer.
At the same time, it's a little sour.
That's not what you said when I was in office, old man.
Not far away, Maite Kay elbowed Kakashi and asked, "The three generations of adults have taken Natsume's place, what should I do?" ”
"You don't know?"
Kakashi Hachiki looked at him and asked, "You're also a Hokage Guardian, don't you read documents?" ”
"You know me, I want to sleep when I look at those papers."
Matt Kay showed a shiny row of teeth and said, "My youth must not be wasted on this!" ”
"That's why you think of your office as a gym?"
Kakashi Hachiki sighed and said, "Wait, you'll find out right away." ”
He doesn't tell Maite Kay now because this guy is a loud voice.
When the time comes, everyone will know.
Sunset on the side pursed his lips and smiled.
Two interesting guys.
In fact, when she first found out, she was also very shocked.
Because according to Tsunade's age, it is no problem to be a few more years.
At that time, it was passed on to Natsume, which seemed more reasonable.
It's really too young now.
Sunset Red took a deep breath, no matter what, the result was already doomed.
As the bodyguard of the fifth Hokage, she only hoped that Natsume would give them a good arrangement.
After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier.
She had already experienced the benefits of the Hokage, and if she lost it suddenly, she would be very unaccustomed to it.
With the arrival of all the upper ninjas, the meeting hall was basically full.
Soon, Tsunade pushes the door in.
Natsume followed her without saying a word.
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules."
Tsunade sat at the top of the seat, crossed his hands, and said in a serious tone, "There is only one thing today, vote for the new Hokage." ”
"What?"
"The new Hokage?"
"What's going on?"
The people below talked a lot, and they all showed expressions of surprise and surprise.
Compared with the advanced age of the ape flying and not being in the line of fire, Tsunade stepped down at this time, which is inevitably too early.
"Quiet."
Tsunade said slowly, "I'm past the peak of ninja life, and I'm tired, so it's time for a young man to take on the role. ”
Obvious lies.
Some of the shinobi who originally planned to speak suddenly discovered the problem.
All the patriarchs of the Great Ninja Clan have been very quiet until now, and have not expressed any opinions.
For a moment, there was silence in the chamber.
After all, if you can get to the point of forbearance, you are basically smart people.
"Now start proposing Hokage candidates."
Tsunade swept his eyes and asked lightly, "I personally elect Natsume, and others have candidates, so you can raise your hand to propose." ”
"I'm going to choose Asma Ape Fly."
An impatient voice rang out.
He is the current patriarch of the Shimura clan.
Ape Fei Ri suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
This was not what he had instructed it.
Because of the defection of Shimura Danzo, the prestige of the Shimura clan has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to support the ninjas of their own ninja clan, so they turn to support their former alliance, that is, the Sarutobi clan.
Ape Fei Ri subconsciously wanted to say something to stop him, but he hesitated for two seconds.
I have to say that this sentence aroused his thoughts.
At this moment, many shinobi echoed it.
These are all ninjas who have been blessed by the Sarutobi Sun Slash or agree with his will to fire.
In other words, his former ministers.
Ape Fei Ri's mood was even heavier.
His refusal at this point will inevitably hurt their loyalty.
But if you don't refuse, it's unlikely that the ape will fly Asma.
Even though he had already figured out how to pave the way.
It is even said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
However, with his resignation, he is no longer as good as Natsume, who is a saint.
Ape Fei Ri stopped talking, but finally did not speak.
It doesn't hurt to try.
Anyway, with Tsunade's character, he won't be embarrassed by the ape flying Asma.
"Anything else?"
Tsunade frowned slightly.
She's upset right now.
Suddenly, an ape flew out of nowhere, and Asma disrupted her plans.
I just don't know if it's the ape flying sun slash behind the scenes?
Don't think I'm not going to be angry, old man.
Natsume, it's not just my student.
No one can take his place.
"If not, vote now."
Tsunade waved his hand and said, "Daily difference, collect data." ”
It didn't take long.
The data is out.
Natsume overwhelmingly defeated Sarutobi Asma.
Ape Feiri sighed, sure enough.
The last bit of his mind was forced to be extinguished.
"Natsume."
Tsunade turned around, his eyes full of love, and showed a gentle smile, saying, "From today on, you are the sixth Hokage. ”
"Hmm."
Natsume resisted the urge to hug her, nodded and said, "I'll try." ”
[Because of your actions, Tsunade's fate has changed, and you gain ninety fate points.] 】
[Because of your actions, Kakashi's fate has changed, and you gain eighty Destiny Points.] 】
Tsunade put away his smile and became serious again, facing the people in the chamber again.
With the exception of a few who appeared unconvinced, the majority had already accepted the result.
"If there is no objection, let's announce it to the public, and wait for Natsume to meet the daimyo before holding a succession ceremony."
"Yes!"
The crowd replied in unison.
The members of the dark department who had been prepared for a long time set off one after another, and within ten minutes, notices were plastered all over the corners of Konoha and the big and small.
"It's so boring!"
Naruto Uzumaki held the back of his head with both hands and said a little impatiently, "It's been so many days, why hasn't Natsume-sensei looked for us yet?" ”
Sasuke Uchiha was silent and did not answer.
He was still thinking about the previous encounter.
Since the two of them trained together, the number of encounters has gradually increased.
But nine times out of ten, he lost, and the remaining one was a draw.
Sasuke Uchiha thinks it's Chakra's cause.
Every time he fought until he was exhausted, but Naruto Uzumaki was always alive and well, as if he had no end of energy.
Let him doubt life.
"Sasuke, it seems like there's something going on."
Naruto Uzumaki said, pointing to the sign in front of him.
At this time, it was already full of people.
"Not interested."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at it and said coldly.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Naruto Uzumaki pulled him into the crowd with gusto.
"The sixth Hokage Natsume?!"
He suddenly gasped, and then hung his head, "I actually let Natsume-sensei take the lead!" ”
“……”
Sasuke Uchiha was a little speechless.
If this guy had the same IQ as usual when he fought, he would have won a long time ago.
It's a pity that it can't be replaced.
As soon as it comes to battle, Naruto Uzumaki becomes extraordinarily sharp, as if he was a natural ninja.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki was full of energy again and asked, "Now that Natsume-sensei is the Hokage, will we be able to perform high-level missions?" ”
"Idiot!"
Sasuke Uchiha turned to leave.
Natsume became the Hokage, but it was much more than that.
As students of the Hokage, the lives of the three of them are bound to change.
In a sense, it is in his favor.
After all, complex struggles can accelerate human growth.
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly thought of Uchiha Itachi.
He had been a staunch defender of the Hokage.
The news of Natsume's appointment as the sixth Hokage not only spread in Konoha, but also spread to the ninja world at a very fast speed.
Sand Hidden Village.
Somewhere.
Shimura opened his eyes.
He looked at the endless desert and thought of Konoha Village again.
What a beautiful scenery it is.
He used to be the Hokage assistant under one person and above ten thousand, but he didn't know how to cherish it.
Now there is no way to regret it.
"Danzo-sama."
A young ninja suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
Shimura Danzou glanced at him and asked, "Has the seal been broken?" ”
"Not yet."
The young ninja shook his head and said, "Kazekage-sama has brought you interesting news. ”
"What is it?"
Shimura Danzo's tone was indifferent. said, "I hope you don't waste my time." ”
"Natsume, about to become the sixth Hokage."
The young ninja said.
"What did you say?"
Shimura Danzo's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Are you sure this is true?" Natsume is not even twenty years old, how can he become a Hokage? ”
"Absolutely."
The young ninja didn't believe it either, but he had confirmed with the spies in Konoha Village that it was indeed true.
"Is Konoha Village crazy? Let a milky little kid be the Hokage? ”
Shimura Danzo's face was full of unwillingness.
He didn't understand.
Why would Sarutobi Hizashi, Hinata Hinata Hitaku, Nara Shikahisa and others agree to such an outrageous appointment?
If you can approve of Natsume, why didn't you choose me in the first place?
I'm not as good as Bo Feng Shui Men and Tsunade, I think.
But am I no better than a little kid?
Shimura Danzo clenched the crutches in his hand, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said, "I need to see Kazekage-sama." ”
Four thousand words.
