Chapter 143 Inauguration Ceremony: Opening(1/2)
"Don't squeeze me! Line up carefully and you can get in today. If you squeeze in again, I will report you to the Konoha ninjas for not obeying the rules!"
Outside the gate of Konoha.
Long crowds of people lined up in long queues.
The busy ninjas also welcomed every visitor with proud and eager smiles on their faces. No matter where they came from in the Country of Fire, or even people from the countries surrounding the Country of Fire, today, they all
You will be lucky enough to enter Konoha, witness and participate in the rumored inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
The check in and out is not complicated. As long as you bring your ID and get a limited-time pass, you can enter freely.
Because of this inauguration ceremony, Konoha is rare to be fully open, and the doors will not be closed for three days, allowing outsiders to freely pass through Konoha Village during these three days to participate in this celebratory ceremony.
The entrances and exits of Konoha were almost completely blocked by people who came to join in the fun, or who came because of their admiration. Fortunately, Konoha had already anticipated this scene, and with the efforts of the ninjas, the situation was effectively controlled.
The appearance of a large number of tourists in Konoha is also a novel thing for the villagers of Konoha. What makes many villagers of Konoha even more happy is that with the large number of tourists entering, various shops have also welcomed unprecedented openings.
past sales peak.
There was a buzz of people in front of restaurants, hotels, and various shops, and it was almost lively from early in the morning.
The novel buildings in Konoha Village, the novel products in the shops...
The streets that were originally spacious enough to make people feel a little unnecessary are now crowded with people, and there is a feeling of crowding that should not occur in Konoha.
But all this noise only lasted until the afternoon. In the evening, under the guidance of the ninja, everyone arrived at the open space in front of the Hokage Rock in an orderly manner. At this moment, the Hokage Rock was covered by a red curtain.
It was covered, and a temporary high platform was built in front of the Hokage Rock.
But compared to these things, the huge screen on one side is more eye-catching.
I saw a huge screen that should not appear at all in this era being set up on one side of the square, and many people were whispering about it.
“What a big TV screen!”
"It looks different from ordinary TV screens. Look, such a big screen, but the back is so thin."
"Are you going to show us a movie? That's great. I was just thinking about whether I should go to the cinema in Konoha to watch it at night."
"Look at what those ninjas over there are holding...are they planning to shoot something here?"
"I always feel that it's not the same as what I've seen before, and what that person is holding is something I've never seen before..."
What a group of civilians were talking about was none other than Kabuto Yakushi and Shikaku Nara, who were rarely seen in public at this moment.
Nara Shikaku had a smile on his face at the moment. He looked at Kabuto Yakushi who was studying the user manual with a look of fascination. He said proudly: "How is it? This is the first set in history that can be used for "live broadcast"
"The equipment!"
Kabuto Yakushi was amazed: "I didn't expect you could really develop the so-called live broadcast equipment... The principle of this signal is really interesting. According to you, it can really transmit images through the base station regardless of distance?
Doesn’t that mean that your communication equipment..."
Nara Shikaku smiled contentedly, but could not hide the dark circles on his face. He said proudly: "The news agency we cooperated with the Yamanaka clan has not been a decoration these years... If the Hokage hadn't said that this kind of thing would not work.
Already, if we want to make a big splash, we will have a blockbuster success, and we will already have communication equipment that can be stably produced."
"It seems that Yuzuru-sama will soon have a Konoha TV station that he has longed for for a long time." Kabuto Yakushi smiled and pushed up his glasses, but Nara Shikaku gave up.
He smiled, clasped his hands in front of him, and said, "Uh-huh. _o_m "
Yakushi Kabuto glanced at the other party and couldn't help but smile, then said: "I heard that Shikaku-senpai's son Shikamaru has also joined the Communications Department?"
"Yes, after the Chuunin Exam, this guy finally figured it out... Before I asked him to come, he kept saying things like trouble.
As a result, after seeing the true power of Hokage-sama, I felt that being a researcher would be more in line with his... life views."
Nara Shikaku had a look of disgust on his face, but soon he couldn't help but smile quite proudly: "This live broadcast equipment is Shikamaru's important contribution - according to Yuzuru-sama,
The breakthrough Shikamaru made is completely transcendent."
"Indeed, the theory and supporting facilities of "Chakra Wire Transmission" developed by Shikamaru have completely solved many of the problems that had troubled Yuzuru-sama before.
However, with Yuzuru-sama’s character... Shikamaru will probably find it difficult to relax again.”
"Hahahaha, isn't it? That kid is crying and regretting it every day now, saying that he wants to go back and be a field ninja again, but in the end he still has to go to the laboratory to work early every morning."
Lu Jiu smiled extremely happily.
Shikamaru is valued by the Hokage on the one hand, and on the other hand, being able to work in this kind of research department is safe, dignified, and has a high status. He can even lead research projects independently. Compared with the ordinary chuunin status before, Shikamaru is very important.
It's so easy to cross a class.
A perfect confidant of the next Hokage!
No one knows better than Nara Shikaku how much the fifth generation attaches importance to scientific research. It can be seen from Kabuto Yakushi in front of him. At such a young age, he has already served as the head of the Konoha Research Department and spends a lot of money every year.
The funds are available, and his status is even equal to that of the clan leaders. Considering that he was born in an orphanage and has a history of serving in the root under the leadership of Danzo...
It is simply a good example of Hokage being eclectic and meritocratic.@
"You said that Hokage-sama withheld so many achievements just to wait for today to shock these people?" Although Nara Shikaku said so, he had a smile on his face. The pharmacist understood the idea and whispered.
He smiled slightly.
"Hokage-sama is also a human being..."
Everyone knows very well that apart from the strategic considerations on the one hand, there is also the reason why Hyuga Yuzuru hid many of his research results and did not expand production and release them for sale, but stayed in
Showing it off today...however, he still wants to use these things to give his official appointment a good start.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Konoha's rapid technological advancement and various cross-era inventions and advancements over the years would not be an exaggeration to say that it would change the world if it could be extended to the whole world.
"It's the great name of the Fire Country!"
"The Daimyo is here too?"
"Oh my god...look, is that the Fifth Hokage?"
"So handsome! But, I heard that the Hyuga clan all have white eyes? Why does the Godaime have white hair instead?"
"You don't understand! That's the God's Eye of the Godaime!"
"As expected of the God of the Ninja World..."
No one knows how many exaggerated nicknames and descriptions there are for today's Fifth Generation Eye among the people.
But there is no doubt that in the realm of Fire Country, Hyuga Yuzuru's personal prestige is far above that of the daimyo - one can imagine how terrifying his influence over Konoha and the Fire Country is now.
As the time got later, crowds of people had already crowded the square of Nuoda. Even the residential buildings in the distance were full of people. Some ninjas also wanted to participate, but they were not easy to communicate with the civilians.
They were jockeying for position and could only watch from a distance.
There are also many civilians who are lucky and have a good view, and they directly open their balconies or open their roofs after consultation.
Those lying on the railings, those gathered on the roofs of houses, those holding telescopes by their windows...
This move can be called the most solemn and grand ceremony in Konoha's history!
And the most terrifying thing is that, despite this, there are still a large number of people who cannot witness this scene with their own eyes. They are rushing around in the streets, but they are guided by the ninjas of Konoha to another square. In the square, another huge
The display screen is dark at the moment, making people confused.
Arriving with the time at 7pm.
The lights are bright.
On the Huoying Rock, a burst of warm light suddenly lit up.
Hyuga Yuzuru, who was wearing a god robe, stepped on the red carpet and was faked before stepping onto the Hokage Rock.
Located on a platform in mid-air.
Behind him is the long-retired Sandaime, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had not appeared in front of the public for a long time. When he suddenly appeared, he actually won some cheers and applause. A smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face unconsciously. The bright smile on his old face quickly changed.
He had to be a little more cautious, and looked at Hinata Yuzuru next to him who was already much taller than him, and his voice was gentle.
"The Godaime, it's time, do you want to start?"
Hinata Yuzuru nodded, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and stood in the center of the platform, looking at the dark mass of human heads not far away. Under the night, various lights illuminated the wooden leaves in a dreamy way. He looked around
Looking at it, I felt a little emotional for a moment and choked up. After taking a deep breath, I lowered my head and looked at the "microphone" in front of me.
The ANBU not far away gave him a signal, and Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and with some uncanny fingers, he touched the standing microphone and found the switch.
"cough."
What was originally just a soft cough suddenly sounded from the speakers hidden in various corners at the same time.
What's even more incredible is that snowflakes flickered on the electronic screen in the distance, and the next moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself appeared in real time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him in amazement for a while, then looked away, with a kind smile on his face, just like the way he showed to the people when he was in office, and said warmly: "I never thought that an old man like me could have a new life.
An opportunity to speak in front of so many people.”
"Sandaime! Sandaime!"
The people of Konoha cheered for him, and the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became a little more sincere.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "I am able to say goodbye to you all decently in this way. I am also grateful to today's protagonist, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hyuga Yuzuru, for giving me, an old man, a chance."
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, he turned his head, looked at Hinata Yuzuru sincerely, and nodded slightly.
To be continued...
