After Yuhi Kurenai bowed slightly, she said, "The daimyo has agreed that Natsume-sama will serve as the sixth Hokage."
"He didn't follow you here?"
Tsunade nodded and asked again, "The Hokage cannot officially take office without the Daimyo's authorization in person."
"The daimyo wants to see Natsume-sama, so he hopes that he will go to the Fire Country metropolis in person."
Yuhi Hong took out a letter and said, "This is the Daimyo's warrant."
"Is that so?"
Tsunade tore open the envelope and glanced quickly, but there was nothing noteworthy.
As usual, there is really no problem.
After all, the daimyo has a distinguished status. Under normal circumstances, it is the Hokage's turn to go and pay his respects.
"Hong, thank you for your hard work."
Tsunade put away the warrant and said with a smile, "You go down first."
"This is what I should do."
Yuhi Kurenai answered immediately, bowed again, turned and left the Hokage's office.
"Looks like you need to go to the Fire Country metropolis."
Tsunade casually handed the warrant to Natsume who was standing behind her.
"It's okay, I have the flying thunder god technique, so it won't waste much time."
Natsume didn't read the warrant.
"Then prepare to hold a Jonin meeting."
Tsunade showed a relaxed expression on her face and said, "After being the Hokage for several years, I am physically and mentally exhausted. I really don't know how the old man persists? And he is still enjoying it."
"Everyone pursues something different."
Natsume smiled and said, "That's why my sister is so unique."
"If you have time for sweet talk, why not inform the Jonin."
Although Tsunade sounded disgusted in her tone, her face was quite pleased.
"Um."
Natsume nodded and headed to the Hokage Secretary's office next door.
"Uncle Hizashi, please inform the jounin in Konoha that a jounin meeting will be held the day after tomorrow and something big will be announced."
"no problem!"
Hinata Hizashi couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and the expression on his face became extremely bright.
Because he had already learned in advance from Hinata Hiashi that Natsume was about to become Hokage and that he was promoted to Hokage advisor.
Now that it’s been confirmed, I can’t help myself.
Natsume glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Let's wait until he officially takes office before dealing with the caged bird matter.
But Hinata Hinata is the main one.
I just don’t know if she has the courage now.
Well, it seems that I, as a teacher, need to teach him a lesson.
time flies.
Two days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Hokage Building Meeting Hall.
It was already full of people by this time.
Most jonin had no idea what was going to happen next.
Only some people got the news in advance, so they were relatively calm.
"Sandaime-sama, why are you here?"
The atmosphere in the noisy meeting hall suddenly changed with the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Ever since Tsunade took office, he has been staying at home, not interfering in anything in Konoha, and naturally he will not participate in any meetings.
Today, his sudden appearance undoubtedly hinted that something big had happened.
This made some jounin feel restless, fearing that it had something to do with them.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has retired, his position is definitely in the front row.
Natsume was originally sitting in the center, but now he occupies it.
"Gu Jie, long time no see."
"Third generation sir."
Kosuke Maruhoshi reacted calmly.
"We have known each other for so long. Now I am also an ordinary ninja. You can just call me Hiruzen."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect you to be willing to serve as the head of the Konoha Police Department."
Of course, what he actually didn't expect was the transformation of the Konoha Police Department by Tsunade and Natsume.
how to say?
It's truly a stroke of genius.
Take a private weapon that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan back into the hands of the Hokage.
And even the conflicts with the villagers were resolved.
"It's nothing. Since Konoha can use my place, I naturally have no obligation to do so."
Maruhoshi Kosuke's expression darkened and he asked, "It's just that you showed up today specifically to object?"
He is the chief of the Konoha Police Department and is naturally a high-level official in Konoha, so he also knows the purpose of this Jonin meeting.
"In your mind, am I this kind of person?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
Although he really couldn't let it go before, now he has no other thoughts.
“So best.”
Maruboshi Kosuke glanced at him and said, "After all, you are no longer Hokage, so please stop interfering in Konoha's affairs."
"Do you think so highly of Natsume?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised and said, "Although he has good strength, he is still a young man and can easily make mistakes."
"This is not about optimism, but personal experience."
Maruhoshi Kosuke shook his head and said.
He had seen Natsume's performance as Hokage's assistant during the past few years.
Far more experienced and decisive than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even the trivial matters of the Konoha Police Department can be handled in an orderly manner.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had never worked with Natsume and had only heard a few rumors about him.
So I don’t quite understand Maruboshi Kosuke’s answer.
At the same time, it's a little sour.
Old man, that's not what you said when I was in office.
Not far away, Matt Kai elbowed Hatake Kakashi and asked: "The Third Generation has taken Natsume's position, what should I do?"
"you do not know?"
Hatake Kakashi looked at him with dead eyes and asked, "You are also a member of the Hokage Guard after all, don't you want to read the documents?"
"You know me, I feel like sleeping when I look at those documents."
Matt Kay showed a row of shining teeth and said, "My youth must not be wasted on this!"
"Is this why you use your office as a gym?"
Hatake Kakashi sighed and said, "Just wait, you will know soon."
He doesn't tell Matt Kay now because the guy has a loud voice.
By then, everyone will know.
Yuhi Hong on the side pursed her lips and smiled.
Two interesting guys.
In fact, she was very shocked when she first found out.
Because according to Tsunade's age, there is absolutely no problem in being a member for a few more years.
At that time, it seemed more reasonable to pass it on to Natsume.
He does look too young now.
Yuhi Hong took a deep breath, no matter what, the outcome was already determined.
As the guard of the Fifth Hokage, she only hoped that Natsume could make good arrangements for them.
After all, there is one emperor and one courtier.
She had already experienced the benefits of being protected by the Hokage, and would be very uncomfortable if she lost him suddenly.
With all the Jonin arriving, the meeting hall was basically full of people.
Soon, Tsunade pushed the door open and entered.
Natsume followed behind her without saying a word.
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come."
Tsunade sat at the head of the table, crossed her arms, and said in a serious tone, "There is only one thing to do today, vote for a new Hokage."
"What?"
"New Hokage?"
"what happened?"
Everyone below was talking a lot, showing expressions of surprise and surprise.
Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is still in the firing line at his advanced age, it would be too early for Tsunade to step down from office at this time.
"Quiet."
Tsunade said slowly, "I have passed my peak as a ninja and feel exhausted. It is my turn to be a young person."
An obvious lie.
Some jounin who originally planned to speak suddenly discovered a problem.
All the clan leaders of the great ninja clan have been very quiet and have not expressed any opinions so far.
For a moment, the meeting hall seemed a little silent.
After all, those who can reach the level of jounin are basically smart people.
"Now let's start proposing candidates for Hokage."
Tsunade glanced around and asked calmly, "I personally recommend Natsume. If anyone else has a choice, they can raise their hands."
"I recommend Sarutobi Asuma."
An impatient voice sounded.
He is the current head of the Shimura clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart suddenly jumped.
This was not what he ordered.
Due to Danzo Shimura's defection, the reputation of the Shimura clan was greatly reduced, and it was impossible for the ninjas to support their own ninja clan, so they turned to support their former allies, the Sarutobi clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen 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 jounin agreed.
These people are all ninjas who have been favored by Sarutobi Hiruzen or who agree with his will of fire.
In other words, he is his old minister.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt even heavier.
His refusal at this time would inevitably hurt their loyalty.
But if you don't refuse, it's unlikely that Sarutobi Asuma will do it.
Even though he has already thought of ways to pave the way.
It is even said that everything is ready, all that is needed is the east wind.
However, with his resignation, Natsume is no longer as strong as the Holy Family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.
It doesn’t hurt to try.
Anyway, with Tsunade's character, she would not embarrass Sarutobi Asuma.
"Any more?"
Tsunade frowned slightly.
She is very unhappy now.
Suddenly, Sarutobi Asuma appeared and disrupted her plan.
I just don’t know if Sarutobi Hiruzen is behind it?
Old man, don't think I won't be angry.
Natsume, you are not just my student.
No one can take his place.
"If not, start voting now."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Hizashi, collect data."
It didn't take long.
The data is out.
Natsume overwhelmingly defeated Sarutobi Asuma.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, as expected.
His last remaining thoughts were extinguished.
"Natsume."
Tsunade turned around, her eyes full of love, showed a gentle smile, and said, "From today on, you are the Sixth Hokage."
"Um."
Natsume resisted the urge to hug her, nodded and said, "I will try my best."
[Because of your actions, Tsunade's fate has changed, and you gain ninety destiny points. ]
[Because of your actions, Kakashi Hatake's fate has changed, and you gain eighty points in fate.]
Tsunade put away her smile, became serious again, and faced everyone in the meeting hall again.
Except for a few people who seemed unconvinced, most had already accepted the result.
"If there are no objections, let's announce it to the public. After Natsume meets the daimyo, we can hold a succession ceremony."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The well-prepared ANBU members set off one after another, and within ten minutes, notices were plastered all over Konoha.
"so boring!"
Uzumaki Naruto held the back of his head with his hands and said impatiently, "It's been so many days, why hasn't Natsume-sensei come to us yet?"
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent and did not answer.
He was still thinking about the previous discussion.
Since the two of them trained together, the number of sparring sessions has gradually increased.
But nine out of ten times he lost, and the remaining one was a draw.
Uchiha Sasuke thought it was due to chakra.
Every time he fought until he was exhausted, but Uzumaki Naruto was always full of energy, as if he had endless energy.
Make him doubt his life.
"Sasuke, there seems to be some excitement."
Uzumaki Naruto pointed at the notice board in front and said.
By this time it was already crowded with people.
"Not interested in."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at it and said coldly.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Uzumaki Naruto happily pulled him into the crowd.
"Sixth Hokage Natsume?!"
He suddenly took a breath of cold air, and then became dejected, "Mr. Natsume actually got one step ahead!"
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke was speechless.
If this guy had his usual IQ when fighting, he would have won countless times.
It's a pity that it can't be replaced.
When it comes to fighting, Uzumaki Naruto becomes extremely sharp, as if he is a born ninja.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki was full of energy again and asked, "Now that Natsume-sensei is Hokage, can we perform high-level tasks?"
"idiot!"
Uchiha Sasuke turned and left.
Natsume becoming Hokage is far more than that simple.
As students of the Hokage, the three of them will inevitably experience various changes in their lives.
In a sense, it is beneficial to him.
After all, complex struggles can accelerate human growth.
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly thought of Uchiha Itachi.
He was once a staunch defender of Hokage.
The news of Natsume's appointment as the Sixth Hokage not only spread in Konoha, but also spread to the ninja world at an extremely fast speed.
Hidden Sand Village.
A ruins somewhere.
Danzo Shimura opened his eyes.
He looked at the endless desert and thought of Konoha Village again.
What a beautiful scenery that is.
He was once the Hokage's assistant who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but he didn't know how to cherish it.
Now I can only regret it.
"Lord Danzo."
A young ninja suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What's up?"
Danzo Shimura glanced at him and asked, "Has the seal been released?"
"not yet."
The young ninja shook his head and said, "Master Kazekage has brought you some interesting news."
"What is it?"
Shimura Danzo said in an indifferent tone, "I hope you won't waste my time."
"Natsume is about to become the Sixth Hokage."
The young ninja said.
"What did you say?"
Shimura Danzo's expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Are you sure this is true? How can Natsume become Hokage when he is not even twenty years old?"
"Absolutely true."
The young ninja actually didn't believe it either, but he had confirmed it with the spies in the Leaf Village and it was indeed true.
"Is the Leaf Village crazy? Let a brat become Hokage?"
Shimura Danzo's face was full of unwillingness.
He doesn't understand.
Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hinata Hinata, Shikaku Nara and others agree to such an outrageous appointment?
Since you can recognize Natsume, why didn't you choose me in the first place?
I can't compare to Namikaze Minato and Tsunade, I think.
But am I no better than a little brat?
Shimura Danzo tightly held the crutch in his hand, with fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said, "I need to see Mr. Kazekage."
