Konoha’s Light Chapter 275: Hokage takes office (2/5)
Konoha, in front of the Hokage Building.
The crowd gathered below, and tens of thousands of people crowded into the square in front of the Hokage Building, looking up excitedly at the roof of the building.
No matter how busy the villagers are, they will take time out on this day, because this is the day when the third and fourth generations are handed over.
"Get out of the way, don't block my sight!"
"Don't squeeze everyone!"
"I heard that the person who takes over the fourth generation is Minato Jonin!"
"That's good, Minato Jonin... No, it should be said that the fourth generation will definitely make Konoha more prosperous!"
On the roof, Jonin who held important positions stood in a row.
In front of these Junin, the third and fourth generations stood facing each other with solemn faces.
"I'll leave Konoha to you, Fourth Generation!" Third Generation took off the Hokage hat he was wearing on his head and handed it to Minato.
"Yes, I am willing to sacrifice my life for this!" Minato took the bamboo hat with great care, put it on his head and walked forward.
Looking at the dense crowd below, Minato couldn't help feeling emotional, "From now on, I will be the fourth Hokage responsible for Konoha's prosperity. Show everyone the way!"
There was a moment of silence below, and then cheers erupted like a tidal wave.
"Fourth generation master!"
"Hokage-sama lead us forward!"
"Minato, you really realized your dream!" Kushina's eyes were gentle, remembering the bold words Minato said in class when she first transferred to Konoha.
While sighing in his heart, Kushina looked aside with an apologetic face, "Soseki, in fact, you should be the fire..."
Soseki interrupted with a smile, "Sister Kushina, you should have more confidence in Brother Minato. Look at the smiles below, and you will know that the choice of the third generation is correct!"
In this sea of laughter, Orochimaru stood with a calm expression, looking at the back of the third generation with extremely complicated eyes, "Maliciousness and ambition, so this is how you see me, teacher?"
Then, the light in the pair of snake pupils gradually turned cold, "If, if I'm not worse, wouldn't I disappoint you, Teacher?"
"Minato, the teacher is proud of you! You really did what you wanted to do!" Ji Lai also thought with satisfaction, but he felt a little worried, "You will be the one predicted by the Great Toad Immortal. Is there a savior? While there is a savior, it also means that there will be unimaginable disasters!"
In the distance, in the shadows under a big tree.
Wrapped in a black robe, the man in the one-eyed mask made five paw prints on the bark, "You are late every time, but you are faster than anyone else on the road to becoming Hokage , Heh, it's really ironic!"
Hei Jue stuck his head out from the tree trunk, and said cautiously, "Can we go now?"
He didn't want to stay in a place where Soseki Shimizu was present.
That guy's perception is too sharp, what if he is noticed?
Obito glanced contemptuously at the "conscious body" that Madara left for him, "What a cowardly waste, it turns out that Uchiha Madara's subconscious is such a thing!"
Thinking of this, the awe and fear of his ancestors gradually disappeared in his heart.
"Let's go!" Obito glanced at Konoha for the last time, then turned into a space vortex and left without any nostalgia.
"Phew! It's okay!" Hei Ze didn't know that he let Uchiha Madara Kazekan get killed, and when Obito disappeared, he ran away quickly.
…
The carnival of Naruto's succession lasted for three days before it ended.
Not only to celebrate the fourth generation taking office, but also to take this opportunity to celebrate the end of the war.
When everything was on the right track, the new leadership ushered in the first diplomatic mission after the reorganization.
At this moment, in the Naruto Building.
Minato held a document and looked at the embarrassed people in front of him with weird eyes, "Leikage wants me to send me out?"
Tutai laughed twice, "When Raikage-sama wrote this document, he didn't know about your succession to Hokage. Besides, didn't the document mention Soseki Jonin?"
Minato subconsciously refused, "Soseki is the assistant of Hokage, so it is impossible to send him out at will."
"How could it be dispatched at random!" Tutai corrected, "This is an important diplomatic mission for Konoha Yunyin to restore normal diplomatic relations after the war. Such a historic moment naturally requires a heavyweight like Soseki Jonin to act. Representatives will do!"
Minato couldn't help but smile, looked aside and asked, "Soseki, what do you think?"
Soseki, who was sorting out the documents, said with a smile, "They have praised me so highly, I'm too embarrassed to refuse, so how about it, I'll go with you when I finish dealing with the matter in hand."
Tutai coughed twice, "It's better to hand over the unfinished business to others first, it is more important to formally resume diplomacy!"
Soseki looked suspiciously at the other party and said, "If you're in such a hurry, you probably set up a trap over there to surround and kill me, right? After all, I killed a lot of cloud hidden ninjas during the war!"
Although I think it is impossible for normal people to do this, but considering that Raikage is not a normal person, Minato also said with a straight face, "Is Yunyin planning to start a war again?"
The corner of Tutai's mouth twitched wildly, who do you think Mr. Raikage is? No matter how messy they are, it's impossible for them to do such unreliable things, please!
Knowing that Yun Yin's image in the other party's heart is already hard to return, Tutai had no choice but to tell the truth, "In addition to restoring diplomacy, we do have a few small requests to ask Soseki Jōnin for help."
"This is in line with your Yunyin's style!" Soseki nodded in agreement, "Tell me, what exactly is it?"
Tutai sighed, "To put it simply, the seal left by Soseki Jōnin in your Chunin exam four years ago conflicted with the seal she already had. We hope you Can lift that seal!"
"Huh? You haven't lifted that seal yet?" Soseki asked innocently.
There will be a change at this juncture, of course he deliberately caused it.
"Ha, haha, our Yunyin is indeed not very good at sealing techniques." Tutai smiled awkwardly but politely.
The sealing technique is different from other types of ninjutsu. There is no unseal technique, and no matter how powerful it is, it may not be able to crack it successfully.
Just like unlocking a lock violently, the consequence of failure may be that the lock is completely stuck.
"So that's how it is! Then we..." Soseki said, looking at Minato with questioning eyes.
He took off Yunyin's fig leaf, not intending to humiliate them.
The main consideration is that the war has just ended, when people's hearts are complicated and sensitive, and it is inevitable that it will come true to help Yun Yin's important combat power break the seal.
It is brought up now to let Minato make a final conclusion as Hokage.
Naturally, Minato didn't know Soseki's complicated thoughts, so he agreed after a little thought, "Since the war is over, there is no need to worry too much, just take it as the sincerity of Konoha!"
