Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

They kept calling out the name of the wind.

Finally, the time for the succession ceremony arrived, and Tofu returned home and brought Amado and Kushina with him.

Obito and Rin immediately helped Kushina up to prevent her from getting too tired.

Kushina gave Minato a thumbs up: "Go for it, Minato! I'll be watching you."

Upon hearing this, Minato gave a thumbs up in return: "The child is watching me too."

Kushina was taken aback at first, then gently touched her belly: "Yes, our baby is also watching Daddy become Hokage."

He became one of the four Kage who dominated the entire ninja world.

"Okay, we should go."

Everyone went up to the rooftop. Kushina sat in a wheelchair, standing behind her with Chiri and the three little ones.

Fuu and Shuimen arrived at the edge of the rooftop amidst the shouts of the villagers.

When the two appeared, the shouts of the villagers of Konoha were deafening!

Countless people cheered with joy.

The two fourth-generation Kage who came to witness the ceremony were stunned. When they became Kage, the villagers didn't cheer like this.

This scene is truly breathtaking.

With a snap of his fingers, countless crystal screens unfolded in mid-air, displaying images from the rooftop.

He then coughed twice, and the noise immediately disappeared, and the whole village fell silent.

"Hello, fellow villagers of Konoha. Today is a special day."

"I can't remember how many years I've been Hokage. I only remember that day when Tobirama-sama was beside me and said that from now on, Kumo no Toki will be the third Hokage of Konoha."

"You were cheering just as enthusiastically back then as you are today."

Qu Feng smiled as he recounted his memories, feeling as if these fragments had happened not long ago, and were very clear.

"Over the years, I believe I have managed the village quite well, and I think I have met your expectations back then."

Then Qu Feng laughed and said, "But, as you all know, I'm a bit lazy, and this habit is becoming more and more obvious as I get older."

Upon hearing the phrase "seeking the wind," the villagers' previously somewhat sentimental atmosphere immediately turned joyful.

Many people couldn't stop laughing.

"Konoha Village is doing quite well now, with many geniuses emerging. I think it's time for me to let go."

"The successor I have nurtured has reached the point where he can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entire Land of Fire, Konoha Village, and even the ninja world."

"Over the years, I believe I have managed the village quite well, and I think I have met your expectations back then."

Then Qu Feng laughed and said, "But, as you all know, I'm a bit lazy, and this habit is becoming more and more obvious as I get older."

Upon hearing the phrase "seeking the wind," the villagers' previously somewhat sentimental atmosphere immediately turned joyful.

Many people couldn't stop laughing.

"Konoha Village is doing quite well now, with many geniuses emerging. I think it's time for me to let go."

"The successor I have nurtured has reached the point where he can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entire Land of Fire, Konoha Village, and even the ninja world."

Torifu took off the Hokage hat he was wearing and solemnly handed it to Minato.

"From this day forward, Minato Namikaze will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a deafening cheer erupted! Nearly 100,000 villagers from Konoha cheered and shouted in every street!

Looking at the dashing Fourth Hokage on the crystal screen, some people couldn't help but shed tears.

After taking the straw hat, Minato held it in his hand in a stylish manner and raised it high.

"From today onwards, I will govern Konoha Village!"

The declaration wasn't particularly grand, nor did it make any wishes; ironically, this made it feel more genuine to the villagers.

The cheers grew even louder and showed no sign of stopping.

Countless flowers, ribbons, and cannons flew through the air. Ah Bai seemed to be very happy as he flew out of the Cloud Clan's territory and circled and danced above Konoha Village!

This undoubtedly made the atmosphere even more lively.

Thus, the succession ceremony was considered complete. Torifu is no longer the Hokage of Konoha Village; he has successfully retired.

Minato turned around and looked at his family and disciples, each of them with an excited expression in their eyes.

There was anticipation, congratulations, and joy; everyone genuinely hoped that Minato would become Hokage.

Kushina, in particular, was unable to move around easily and even had to sit in a wheelchair to watch the Hokage succession ceremony.

Her eyes were already brimming with tears. Her man had become Hokage. How could she not be excited?

Minato walked over to everyone and embraced them all.

His disciples and family members alike gave him a lot of encouragement.

Otherwise, although Minato aspired to become Hokage, he didn't have enough courage to shoulder the responsibility of such a prosperous village.

Now that he has truly become Hokage, he will do his best to overcome any difficult challenges that lie ahead!

The moment he received the straw hat, Minato secretly vowed that he would protect the village and make it even better!

Torifu patted Minato on the shoulder: "Alright, the succession ceremony is over. Hokage-sama can start arranging work now."

Minato wasn't used to being addressed as Hokage, and his face immediately turned bright red when he was suddenly called Hokage-sama.

Seeing this, Toru laughed heartily, but was rebuked by Chiri and immediately stopped laughing.

"Minato, take your time to get used to it. In terms of government affairs, my puppet and the Third Hokage's puppet can help you with a lot of things."

An Hua spoke, and among everyone present, her words were undoubtedly the most reassuring.

Although Minato was eager to start handling government affairs himself immediately, he currently lacked the experience.

The village is different now than when Qu Feng first took office; it's so large now, and the amount of government affairs he handles every day is enormous.

Even if Anwa and the puppet share the burden, Minato will still have to deal with some of it.

If mistakes are made in government affairs, the losses may be small, but the troubles they bring can be cascading.

Konoha Village is like a high-speed, precision machine; the slightest malfunction will immediately trigger a series of problems.

That's why Minato needs to study hard.

"Minato, don't overwork yourself. Remember the 'slacking off technique' I taught you, and it will make your Hokage career easy."

Minato smiled and nodded. He might use it when he couldn't hold on any longer, but he had just taken office and was full of enthusiasm. How could Minato possibly slack off right now?

And it would be so embarrassing if the villagers saw it!

He was caught slacking off at work by the villagers on his very first day in office; he'll probably be impeached immediately.

The villagers found that there was no one on the rooftop anymore, the Hokage had been gone for some time, and the crystal screen in mid-air had also disappeared.

Then you know the ceremony is over.

The cheers gradually subsided, and the villagers began to return to their normal lives.

Konoha Village has a new Hokage, and although the details are still unknown, the villagers are very happy.

People were talking about all sorts of things related to Watergate, and the topic of Watergate was discussed everywhere on the streets.

When Minato and the others returned to the office, they found that the intelligent puppet was processing official business at a rapid pace, but there was still so much work to be done.

I understood why my brother wanted to retire so much after the water gate incident.

Even though he was full of energy and enthusiasm, half of it was instantly extinguished when faced with this mountain of documents.

"Alright, we won't bother you any longer. You can familiarize yourself with the place first."

To get the wind, he still needs to meet with the Kage of a few villages. Although he is no longer the Kage, he can still help Minato handle these meetings.

When Toki entered the conference room, Onoki, Mifune, Tsukikage, and Ryusa had already been waiting for a while.

He only smiled when he saw that Qu Feng had arrived.

"Feng, is it okay if we call you that?"

Qu Feng smiled and nodded: "Of course."

The people present were all older than him, so it was perfectly acceptable for them to address him that way.

"Ah, the handover ceremony always gets people excited. The new Shadow is full of enthusiasm, just like I was back then."

Liu Sha sighed, "Every shadow has such a period, but as village affairs become busier, official documents pile up like mountains."

At that time, I really wanted to retire, and all my enthusiasm had almost cooled down.

Onoki stroked his mustache: "Who isn't? Everyone has a youthful time. Young people are energetic, and we can't compare to them in that respect."

Everyone nodded in agreement; there was no doubt about it, as Minato was just over twenty years old.

Qu Feng is already in his early fifties. Back when he was twenty, he also enjoyed slacking off, just like he does now...

That makes sense. Ever since becoming Hokage, Torifu pretended to be Hokage for a few days to show Tobirama, so that Tobirama wouldn't nag him.

Then he let loose and started using all sorts of things, like puppets and clones.

Yet this Hokage, who was so lazy and irresponsible, became the most accomplished Hokage in Konoha, even surpassing Hashirama.

It's estimated that no future Hokage will be able to reach the level of Tokitoki (the Wind-Taming One).
