Moreover, for certain reasons, this phone can only be used within the Land of Fire.

But this is enough; it's a revolutionary improvement compared to the past.

These novel discoveries made them even more eager to see what would happen next, so they quickened their pace, impatient to explore more unknown changes.

When they arrived at the Konoha Building, the sight before them once again amazed them.

The original Konoha Building has undergone tremendous changes, transforming into a towering skyscraper with over a hundred floors.

This magnificent building is a testament to the prosperity and power of Konoha Village.

Outside the building, a huge screen is particularly eye-catching.

This screen displays various information in real time, including news, weather forecasts, announcements, and more, providing villagers with a convenient information exchange platform.

The screen displayed a variety of colorful content, attracting many pedestrians to stop and watch.

Chapter 158 Izuna: I could live off this for the rest of my life.

"It's magnificent!" Tsunade exclaimed sincerely. "This place has truly become completely different."

"Yes, the speed of Konoha's development is truly astonishing." Xingliu was also deeply gratified.

His changes were indeed not in vain.

They then went inside the building and found that the interior facilities had also been fully upgraded.

The sheer size of the building's interior made them feel somewhat lost.

Just as they were feeling somewhat disoriented, a staff member recognized them.

His face beamed with surprise and respect as he stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Are you Lord Xingliu?"

Xingliu nodded, then looked at him with some confusion.

The staff member who received the response said excitedly:

"Welcome back, Lord Seiryu! I am here waiting for you on the orders of Lady Mito. Please allow me to lead you to the Hokage's office."

With that, he gestured for Xingliu and the others to proceed into the depths of the building.

Hearing these words, Xingliu nodded knowingly, inwardly giving a thumbs-up to Grandma Mito's thoughtful arrangements.

Then, led by the staff, Xingliu and the others arrived at the Hokage's office.

Before they even stepped inside, they heard a series of noises coming from inside.

Upon closer listening, they recognized it as Tobirama's voice.

He seemed to be arguing fiercely with someone, his tone revealing strong dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I say that the Uchiha clan can't use such violent law enforcement? You red-eyed monster, did you even hear me?!" Tobirama shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a completely emotionless voice came through; it was Izuna responding: "Heh, your apprentice kidnapped the village children."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama was enraged and cursed Hiruzen Sarutobi a hundred times in his heart.

But he refused to admit defeat and continued to argue, "If you put it that way, then you're still my defeated opponent."

Izuna seemed unfazed by Tobirama's provocation and calmly stated the facts: "Your apprentice kidnapped the village children."

Tobirama felt somewhat helpless and tried to persuade Izuna from a different angle: "Can you put it another way?"

After hearing this, Izuna was silent for a moment, then continued, "Your other apprentice silenced him."

This remark enraged Tobirama, who shouted furiously, "You *****!"

Xingliu and the others almost burst out laughing when they heard these words.

They never expected that Tobirama, who was known for his coldness and composure, would ever break down in anger.

Moreover, these words were indeed difficult for Tobirama to refute.

After all, just as Izuna said, his apprentice had committed an unforgivable act, which even Tobirama himself found extremely infuriating.

They estimated that this incident would become a source of ridicule for Tobirama for the rest of his life, making Tobirama unable to hold his head high in front of Izuna.

Perhaps they were making too much noise, because the arguing in the room suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Tobirama opened the door to the Hokage's office.

His face looked somewhat gloomy, clearly the argument had left him in a bad mood.

Tobirama's gaze swept over Seiryu and the others, and he was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting them to appear at this time.

Surprisingly, a blush then appeared on his face, a rare occurrence.

The usually serious and aloof Hokage appeared somewhat embarrassed and uneasy at this moment.

He quickly concealed his emotions and made an excuse, saying, "Something came up in the lab, I have to go now."

After saying this, Tobirama immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away from the scene.

His figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a slight rustling of wind.

The group looked at each other, then finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After laughing, they composed themselves and went into the Hokage's office.

At this moment, only Izuna was in the office. The Fourth Hokage, Mito Uzumaki, was not there; she had obviously gone off to slack off again. When it came to slacking off, she was a master.

When Izuna saw Hoshiryu and the others, he showed a complicated expression.

He was filled with gratitude for being able to return to the world of the living and see Madara Uchiha again.

However, his three years as a migrant worker mixed his gratitude with a hint of resentment.

Tobirama initially firmly stated that he would not allow the evil Uchiha clan to interfere in the village's affairs, but he soon changed his mind.

Before Izuna could even enjoy a few days of leisure, Tobirama threw himself into scientific research, joining forces with Orochimaru to explore unknown territories.

Especially after the scientists from the Land of Snow came to Konoha, Tobirama handed over almost all affairs to them and completely immersed himself in the world of science.

Izuna was speechless when he thought about all this.

But then his thoughts turned to the fact that Xingliu was about to succeed as Hokage.

Perhaps this means he can also be freed from his heavy workload?

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"You've come back this time to inherit the Hokage position, haven't you, Xingliu-kun?" he asked expectantly.

Xingliu nodded and replied, "There's no other way. Grandma Mito has given the final notice, so I have to come back."

However, his next words instantly shattered Izuna's expectations:

"I summoned you so that you could continue to work, so even if I become Hokage, it won't stop you from continuing to be a tool."

Despite the slightly joking tone in Hoshiryu's words, Izuna couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He originally thought that with Xingliu's return and succession, he would also be able to usher in a new chapter in his life.

But now it seems he will have to continue living the life of a "working class".

Just as Izuna was immersed in this sense of loss, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and Mito Uzumaki walked in.

Her appearance immediately shattered the tranquility of the room and pulled Izuna back to reality from his thoughts.

Upon seeing Hoshino, a flicker of joy flashed in Mito's eyes. She walked straight up to Hoshino and said bluntly:

"You're back. Why don't we get the Hokage succession settled today?"

Her suggestion caught everyone present off guard, and Izuna was completely stunned.

He had thought that it would take some time for Hoshino to succeed as Hokage, but he did not expect Mito to be so decisive and want to carry out the Hokage succession ceremony immediately.

The group looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Finally, Xingliu couldn't help but speak up, "Grandma, you've already sent out the invitations. It's not really appropriate to change the date at the last minute."

Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki visibly became dejected: "That's true, I should have set the date for today."

Her words left everyone present speechless.

Chapter 159 Dance Fight (4)

Seeing that she still wanted to continue the conversation, Xingliu quickly tried to divert her attention:

"By the way, I wonder where Lord Hashirama is now?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Mito became agitated, as if some sensitive spot had been touched.

"You should go ask Madara Uchiha where he is!" she said rudely. "Why did you resurrect him using Edo Tensei? Isn't that just making things worse?"

Mito's reaction was unexpected by Seiryu.

He thought mentioning Hashirama would ease the tension, but instead it only intensified Mito's emotions.

Seeing her flustered state, Xingliu was momentarily at a loss, unsure of how to respond.

He hasn't been in Konoha for the past few years and doesn't know what happened between them, so he doesn't even know where to begin trying to persuade them.

The girls were in the same boat as him, so he looked to Izuna for help.

Izuna smiled helplessly and shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help her.

Just then, Mito seemed to realize her lapse in composure. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Then, she explained the reason in a complaining tone:

It turns out that after Madara Uchiha was resurrected, Hashirama would go to see him whenever he had a spare moment.

Let's just leave it at that. After all, Hashirama was like this when Konoha was first established.

But recently they've become obsessed with dance battles, dancing whenever they have time.

This was unacceptable to Mito.

Hearing her explanation, Xingliu became even more confused.

While it might be a bit abstract that Madara and Hashirama both like to dance, it's a personal hobby, so what's wrong with that?

But Izuna suddenly realized what was going on, and he explained with a wry smile:

"Lord Mito is referring to a recent event held by the villagers of Konoha; it was a dance competition."

"This match will be played on a loop on the big screen in front of the Konoha Building. The dance video of Lord Hashirama and Madara Uchiha may have been selected and will be played continuously."
