This sentiment is more precious than this house.
That evening, a grand celebratory dinner was held in the living room.
The family sat together, enjoying the delicious food and laughter.
They shared their stories and experiences, and talked about their plans and dreams for the future.
As night fell, the laughter and chatter in the living room gradually faded away.
Xingliu and the other women also left the Thousand Hands Mansion and arrived at their new home.
They spent a ridiculous night there.
In the days that followed, everyone was immersed in their own busy lives.
Xingliu is preparing for the upcoming Hokage succession ceremony. Even if he wants to slack off, it will still take some time. He can't really use shadow clones, can he?
Tsunade kept her promise to herself and began tutoring Nawaki, giving him a complete childhood.
Nonou and Hinata strolled around the streets and alleys of Konoha, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Zhili then returned home and spent precious time with his family.
And so, the day came when Xingliu succeeded as Hokage.
Unlike previous Hokage succession ceremonies, this Hokage succession ceremony was not only attended by people from the Land of Fire.
Even the other four countries sent special envoys to participate.
Konoha has been incredibly popular these past few years, not to mention the new ninja god, Uchiha Seiryu.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju made no attempt to conceal their whereabouts, so their existence was known to other countries.
God knows how sweaty they were when they heard the news.
Therefore, whether it was to curry favor with Konoha or to try to lower Konoha's guard by participating in this grand event, these countries all sent representatives to participate in the Hokage succession ceremony of the Starflow.
Moreover, Konoha's development in recent years has made the Land of Fire even more prosperous.
Therefore, this Hokage succession ceremony became the grandest in history, attracting the attention of countless people.
On that day, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and the sky was a clear, deep blue without a single cloud.
Konoha Village was meticulously decorated, colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and the village was bustling with activity.
As the appointed time arrived, the giant screen on the Hokage Building slowly lit up, attracting everyone's attention.
The image that appeared on the screen was Xingliu, wearing the same Hokage robe as the Fourth Hokage, sitting upright in the center of the Hokage's office.
"I am Uchiha Seiryu."
His voice was steady and powerful, and every word clearly resonated throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
"From today onwards, I officially assume the position of Fifth Hokage!"
He paused, his gaze seemingly sweeping over everyone in front of the screen:
"Anyone who dares to offend Konoha will be punished, no matter how far away they are! We have no equal ahead!"

I don't know if this is just the flu or a second positive result. The cough is one thing, but why does my back hurt so badly?
Chapter 161 The Chunin Exams Are Held Again (Declaration of War)
Xingliu's bold and ambitious words, like a raging storm, deeply shook the hearts of every Konoha villager.
His voice stirred endless waves in everyone's hearts, as if igniting their beliefs and passion.
The people of Konoha were in an uproar, their cheers rising and falling like waves, creating a deafening roar.
They clapped excitedly, their faces beaming with pride and joy.
In contrast, the representatives from other countries wore complex expressions.
When a country possesses absolute power, you'd better pray that the country is benevolent.
But it's clear that Xingliu's words weren't exactly friendly.
As their hearts were filled with worry and unease, Xingliu on the screen spoke again:
"Now, I will issue my first order as the Fifth Hokage."
His words carried the implication of a new era storm, causing everyone present to hold their breath, awaiting his next words.
"I am preparing to hold a second Chunin Exam with the other countries, and the stake this time is the existence of your country."
His tone was casual, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
However, to the representatives from other countries, these words were like a bombshell, igniting their shock and panic.
They stared wide-eyed at Xingliu on the screen, as if trying to find a trace of a joke on his face.
Unfortunately, Xingliu's expression was serious and earnest, without a trace of joking.
He continued, "That's right, if you still can't win this time, then you have no reason to exist."
These words, like cold steel needles, pierced the hearts of every delegate.
They understood that Xingliu wasn't joking; he was serious.
The entire square instantly fell into a suffocating silence.
The people of Konoha, who were originally immersed in the joy and pride of Xingliu becoming Hokage, were now speechless with shock by this sudden bombshell news.
They stared wide-eyed at the star stream on the screen, their faces showing a complex and shocked expression.
The news was so shocking and unexpected that they couldn't process it for a while.
Meanwhile, representatives from other countries were even more ashen-faced, their hearts filled with despair and fear.
They knew all too well that this gamble was one they could not afford.
The power and confidence emanating from Xingliu's words put them under immense pressure.
Even so, Xingliu still hadn't finished speaking.
He added calmly, "No need for panic, fellow Konoha people. If they lose, I will personally eliminate them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the forest not far away, "Just like that forest, I will wipe them out completely."
As Xingliu finished speaking, he gently snapped his fingers.
The next moment, something happened that thrilled the people of Konoha and horrified the representatives of other countries.
The once lush forest vanished without a trace in an instant, as if erased by an eraser.
Not a trace was left, as if that forest had never existed. (Spatial Exile)
This awe-inspiring display not only demonstrated the immense power and determination of the Starflow to everyone present, but also reaffirmed the strength and status of Konoha Village.
The people of Konoha cheered, proud to have such a powerful and confident Hokage.
The representatives from other countries, however, were pale-faced, their hearts filled with fear and unease.
They knew that this exam would be a life-or-death struggle, and they had to do everything in their power to win.
"Now, does anyone have any further objections?" Xingliu's voice rang out again.
However, faced with such overwhelming power and relentless threats, the representatives could only choose to remain silent.
They dared not meet the star's gaze, nor even look up at the erased forest.
They knew that any opposition or protest would be futile and would only bring greater disaster to their country.
Xingliu nodded in satisfaction, then continued:
"Very good. Since there are no objections, the second Chunin Exam will be held in a month. Everyone can go back and prepare. I hope you can show your true strength then."
As Xingliu finished speaking, the image on the screen gradually blurred and eventually turned into darkness.
The atmosphere in the square remained tense, and no one dared to break the silence.
The people of Konoha began to whisper among themselves, excitedly discussing the upcoming Chunin Exams and the immense strength of the Starflow.
Representatives from other countries stood there for a while before hurriedly leaving.
They knew that the next month would be a critical moment for their nation's survival, and not a moment could be wasted.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Xingliu sat behind his desk, his arms crossed over his chest, deep in thought.
Suddenly, a steady voice broke the silence; it was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
He looked at the Fifth Hokage before him, a deep worry on his face.
"Starflow, isn't your approach a bit too forceful?" Hashirama Senju spoke slowly:
"Should we consider a more moderate approach to building relations with other countries? Such threats and oppression could trigger greater conflict and resistance."
"mild?"
Xingliu turned his head and looked directly into Senju Hashirama's eyes, saying, "In this dog-eat-dog world, gentleness will only make us weak."
Hashirama Senju wanted to say something, but Seiryu waved his hand, stopping him.
He took a deep breath and continued:
“I understand your concerns, Hashirama Senju. But every era has its tasks to complete.”
"You ushered in the era of the ninja village, creating peace and prosperity. Now, it is time for me to lead this era to unification."
Upon hearing Xingliu's words, Tobirama Senju nodded in agreement:
"Xingliu is right. The era led by our elder brother did not achieve peace. It is time to make new changes."
Madara Uchiha watched Xingliu with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
At this moment, Mito Uzumaki gently pulled back Hashirama Senju, who still wanted to continue arguing, and said softly:
"Alright, Wood, you're dead now, why are you still worried about these things?"
Hashirama Senju was taken aback by these words, then said somewhat dejectedly, "I understand."
Mito is right; in this era, he is no longer a decision-maker, but an observer.

Within days, this shocking news spread like wildfire to the other ninja villages.
