Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Qu Feng, this matter was actually accidentally let slip by your master when he was bragging to someone. I didn't expect it to spread so quickly. By the time he realized it, there was already a commotion in the street."

"He regretted it a little, but was too embarrassed to say it, so I was the only one who could do it."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "It's alright, Master's wife. Hao Yuan's talent can't be kept secret anyway. We never intended to hide it, so it doesn't matter now that it's out in the open."

"Master, there's no need to blame yourself so much. It's not a big deal."

About half a minute later, Hashirama spoke again: "Oh dear, Torifu, in the end, this is also Master's fault. I was just thinking of showing off, but I didn't expect that old man to talk so fast. I'll definitely beat him up in a couple of days."

It wasn't a big deal; the master and disciple quickly resolved the issue. This was the first time Hashirama had apologized to Toru, and the feeling wasn't pleasant; it was strange and hard to describe.

In Qu Feng's eyes, everything his master did was right, and he was always the one who apologized to his master when he did something wrong.

And today, his master actually apologized to him.

This made Qu Feng sit in his chair in silence for a long time, and he suddenly realized that he was already over forty years old.

Although he still looks like a young man, his age is completely beyond that of a young man.

And the master is already in his eighties or nineties.

Time flies so fast; the experience of learning martial arts with my master when I was a child is still vivid in my mind.

But now, he's the one teaching martial arts to others and planning the future path for his apprentices.

"It may seem like nothing has changed, but in reality, a lot has changed behind the scenes."

Qu Feng leaned back, and the rocking chair began to sway. He gradually closed his eyes and swayed quietly like that.

A gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, lifting the hem of her coat and carrying away with it the ever-flowing flow of time.

Spring has passed and autumn has come; seven years have gone by in the blink of an eye…

Summer of Konoha Year 51.

At this moment, Konoha Village was bustling with activity, and the eaves of every house were adorned with flowers and colorful ribbons.

The overall layout of the village hasn't changed much since seven years ago, except that the village has been expanded and is now a size larger than before.

Many high-rise buildings have sprung up in the village, and all sorts of advertisements are playing on huge screens.

It has a touch of modernity to it.

Meanwhile, on a side street in Konoha Village, a girl was supervising several burly men at work.

"Hey, you hung it crookedly, move it a little to the left."

"Hey! Shorty, if you keep being so careless, you'd better give up your position. How can you be so sloppy with such an important job!"

"Hmm, you did a good job."

The men being urged gave an awkward smile: "Miss Shizune, you're being too strict."

Shizune snorted coldly: "You dare to make mistakes on such an important matter? The Hokage Building will not cooperate with your team next time."

Upon hearing Jingyin's words, the leading men immediately shut up and began to quickly correct their mistakes.

Silent turned around and wiped away her sweat.

"Phew, it's really not easy to control this group of uncles. If only I had Aunt Anhua's temperament."

Shizune is now an adult. After graduating from the Ninja Academy and working in the ninja industry for several years, she discovered that, like her father Kato Hisashi, she has no talent for being a ninja.

So he decisively changed careers and searched everywhere for a suitable job.

She did not rely on her father's position as the general manager of the Konoha Village factory to find herself a good job.

Instead, he applied for a job as an office assistant at the Hokage Building.

Perhaps influenced by her father's work habits, Jingyin performed with extreme professionalism when answering interview questions.

She successfully entered the Hokage Building and became Anwa's (Shizune's) second aunt's assistant.

Today, her assigned task was to keep a close eye on the work of the celebration decoration team and prevent any accidents from happening due to carelessness.

After a morning of diligent work standing on the street, I finally completed my task.

"Um, Miss Shizune, do you think our work quality is up to standard?"

Silently inspected the extent of the fireworks coverage on the streets on the edge of Konoha Village and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's alright, just average. If you do this again next time, I might not consider continuing to cooperate."

The man in the lead smiled obsequiously, "Thank you so much! I promise it won't happen again next time!"

Watching the group of workers leave, Shizune shook her head helplessly: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're on the outskirts of the city."

Shizune turned and left, entering the central street. From there, she could see that the fourth statue on the Hokage Rock had been completed and was currently covered with a red cloth.

Everyone on the street was smiling, including Shizune herself.

"The Fourth Hokage succession ceremony is in two days, I'm so excited!"

It seems like there was no sound muting during the last Hokage succession ceremony, which is quite a rare sight.

After all, the Third Hokage, Kumo no Torifu, who had governed Konoha for so many years, was finally going to step down as Hokage and hand over the position to his student and younger brother, Minato Namikaze.

Chapter 761 The Fourth Hokage

Shizune turned and left, entering the central street. From there, she could see that the fourth statue on the Hokage Rock had been completed and was currently covered with a red cloth.

Everyone on the street was smiling, including Shizune herself.

"The Fourth Hokage succession ceremony is in two days, I'm so excited!"

It seems like there was no sound muting during the last Hokage succession ceremony, which is quite a rare sight.

After all, the Third Hokage, Kumo no Toru, who had governed Konoha for so many years, was finally going to step down as Hokage and hand over the position to his student and younger brother, Minato Namikaze.

The villagers had no objections to the selection of the Fourth Hokage, because Minato Namikaze was undoubtedly the strongest ninja among the younger generation.

At the age of seventeen, he became a Kage-level expert, and his strength far surpassed that of some clan leaders.

By the time he was twenty, apart from a few highly respected elders in Konoha, no one in the village could rival him.

And he was so young that when Toru proposed to hand over the Hokage position to him, almost none of the village elders objected.

Hashirama, Tobirama, and Mito were also very much in favor.

And so, the long reign of the Third Hokage came to an end, and the new era of the Fourth Hokage was about to begin.

The village was decorated so elaborately to welcome this brand-new Konoha.

Jingyin returned to the building and entered Anhua's office: "Sir, the decoration of the outskirts of the street is complete, and the quality is up to standard."

An Hua looked up at Jing Yin with an appreciative gaze: "Well done, I suppose you had a heated exchange of words."

Anwar has always done these jobs himself, and because there are fewer people on the outlying streets, the construction teams tend to cut corners.

It's truly impressive that Silent could complete this task perfectly on her first attempt.

"Your father will be very happy to know."

Shizune smiled happily: "Thank you, sir. I'll take my leave now."

An Hua waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

Anhua was quite satisfied with the child's talent in office work.

If she were to retire in the future, Shizune could become her successor.

They just need to be properly trained.

Anwar is now married to Ammadul; in fact, they got married after three years of dating.

The couple's married life remained very sweet, and the Yunzhong tribe became even more lively with Anhua's arrival.

Anhua picked up the documents he had prepared and headed to the Hokage's office.

Knocking on the door and going inside, besides drawing in the wind, one also finds the water gate.

"Second sister-in-law, you've arrived."

An Hua smiled and said, "Yes."

Then he looked at Torufu and said, "Lord Hokage, this is the total number of fish fry released into the Rain Province this spring. The types of fish fry are listed in detail."

The remaining two are from the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, as well as the estimated aquaculture revenue for Rain Province this year and the revenue for the central city.

Qu Feng looked at the documents in front of him and nodded: "Yes, very good, thank you for your hard work, An Hua."

Anhua didn't say anything, but took a few steps back and stood with Shuimen.

Being in the office is considered work time, and everything should be based on one's work position.

"Minato, come and take a look. In a few days, these will all be your tasks."

After responding, Minato walked to the desk, picked up a document, and began to read it.

This was quite surprising. The characters on it were all familiar to him, but he couldn't recognize them at all when they were put together.

What is all this nonsense?!

Seeing Minato's dizzy state, Torifu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, alright, alright, put it down now."

"From now on, when you handle official business, you should learn more from your second sister-in-law, or you can ask me. You need to learn how to handle government affairs in a short period of time, and then you can use shadow clones to slack off."

Torifu, as a senior, didn't convey any correct ideas to the new Hokage; instead, he taught him how to slack off and do nothing.

An Hua couldn't stand it anymore, but in recent years, the Hokage Building had been expanded once, and there were many more employees in the building.

Nearly half of them were assistants to Anwa, so it's not a big deal if the Hokage slacks off a bit; there's strength in numbers.

They survived the Third Hokage's era, so I believe the Fourth Hokage can surely make some changes.

Anwar kept giving herself these psychological suggestions, but would things really turn out as she wished?

"The Hokage cloak is finished, right? Are you satisfied with it?"

Mentioning the Hokage cloak, Minato's eyes lit up: "Satisfied! I've seen it! Very satisfied!"

The cloak was designed based on the Fourth Hokage's cloak, with Minato adding some flame patterns himself.

Overall, it's not much different from the original, and Minato really likes it.

I would ask every few days if it was finished.
