Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

"what?"

Umino Iruka instinctively asked, "What did you say?"

He suspected there was something wrong with his ears.

How did he become the principal?

Although he had fantasized about it, becoming a principal was impossible for him.

He had neither the strength nor the support of a ninja clan.

"This is the letter of appointment."

Silence is the only explanation.

Umino Iruka quickly opened it.

As Shizune had stated, the letter of appointment confirmed that he had become the principal.

He looked dazed and didn't know what to say.

This is truly a meteoric rise.

Iruka Umino took a deep breath.

He couldn't help but feel that the luckiest thing in his life was becoming Yu Nu Zhi Hui's teacher.

"You can continue with your lesson."

Shizune smiled faintly and said, "I still need to notify others."

"I'm in trouble, Lady Shizune!"

Umino Iruka said excitedly.

After taking a stroll around the Ninja Academy, Shizune returned to the Hokage Building.

5 PM, in the conference room.

Silent sat in the first seat.

Iruka Umino sat to her left.

The remaining teachers then sat down opposite them one by one.

"The first thing."

Shizune cut to the chase, saying, "Appoint Umino Iruka as the principal of the Ninja Academy."

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The teachers all looked surprised.

Although Iruka Umino taught very well, he was still only a Chunin.

Furthermore, the principals of the Ninja Academy were all former Hokage who served concurrently.

However, they quickly remembered that the current Hokage, Shiki Aburame, was once Iruka Umino's student.

They couldn't help but feel envious.

This luck is truly incredible.

Silently lead the applause.

Soon, the meeting room erupted in applause.

"thank you all!"

Iruka Umino stood up and bowed deeply.

He knew that his position as principal was somewhat undeserved, so he kept a very humble attitude.

But in reality, no one dared to underestimate him.

Unless Shiki Aburame steps down as Hokage.

However, given his age, it's unclear how many more years he'll be working.

After all, the Hokage didn't stipulate that one must retire at a certain age.

Theoretically speaking, he could remain in office until his death, just like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Next is the renovation of the ninja academy."

Jingyin raised her hand, and the conference room fell silent again, with only her voice remaining.

The night is getting darker.

The sun on the horizon had completely disappeared.

"I am back."

Jingyin walked into the living room looking exhausted.

"We've been waiting for you. Come and have dinner."

Tsunade said, her face slightly flushed.

She has already started drinking the honey wine.

Shizune glanced at her, then silently sat down opposite her.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade suddenly asked.

"what?"

Oil Girl Zhihui was a little confused.

Why are you giving Mute so much work?

Tsunade asked, somewhat displeased.

"This is nothing."

Shizune shook her head and said, "It's what I should do as the Hokage's secretary."

"It must be quite tiring for Sister Jingyin to take on two roles."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded and said, "After a while, I'll find someone to help you share the burden."

He was referring to Xiao Nan.

At that time, Shizune will be in charge of the finance department alone, and the secretary's work will be handed over to Konan.

"Alright."

Mute did not refuse.

She has indeed been feeling powerless lately.

A large part of the reason is that Yu Nu Zhihui stuffed too many new things into her.

She has to figure things out beforehand, which takes a lot of time.

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

Tsunade glared at Aburame Shiki and said, "Look how exhausted Shizune is."

"...?"

Silent was somewhat suspicious.

Is Lady Tsunade showing her so much concern today?

When she was Hokage, she was lazy every day.

"Have a meal."

Yu Nu Zhihui coughed lightly and said.

Tsunade was angry with him.

He gained a little advantage before Jingyin returned.

After dinner, Zhihui, the woman in charge of oil, took the initiative to wash the dishes.

He carried the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.

"Jingyin, why are you so distracted?"

Tsunade noticed Shizune's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"I……"

The silenced voice seemed to want to say something but then stopped.

"Just tell me what's on your mind."

Tsunade chuckled and said, "Speaking so hesitantly isn't like you."

Although Jingyin is usually quite gentle, she is ruthless when it matters.

For example, when encouraging someone to gamble.

"Tsunade-sama."

Shizune took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you ask me who I liked before?"

"Oh?"

Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest, "Now are you willing to tell me? Who is it?"

I hope you won't be angry.

Shizune lowered her head and said.

"Why am I angry?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "That's a good thing."

"It's Zhihui."

Silent voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"..."
