Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Hidden Cloud Village.

"Lord Ai, they're all dead!"

"What? They're all dead?"

Ai hurriedly grabbed the other person and asked.

The ANBU ninja opened his mouth, then cried silently, saying, "The Third Hokage is dead, and I heard the Third Tsuchikage also died in Amegakure... The Fourth Mizukage has been captured!"

"What?!"

Ai was utterly horrified.

He was initially grief-stricken, and then felt utterly despondent.

In his mind, the Third Raikage was an invincible being. He once thought his father was omnipotent, until he was defeated by Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze together, and only then did he realize...

It turns out that there are still things in this world that even a father can't handle.

He had felt uneasy about this incident ever since his father left, because the Third Raikage's actions were almost like making his final arrangements.

just now……

Everything came true.

My father really did die.

Ai slumped into a chair and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, after a long silence, his voice became hoarse: "How could Onoki have died in Amegakure?"

"this……"

The ANBU ninja was momentarily at a loss for words.

In his view, this did not seem to be the point.

but.

Ai, however, keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Lord Raikage fought alongside them, so how come he died in the Land of Grass, but he died in the Land of Rain?"

Ai looked at the battle report, his tone filled with intense anger.

Onoki has clearly betrayed his father!

"Hey, calm down."

Tu Tai walked in from outside.

"Uncle Tutai."

"I already know."

Tsuchikage gestured for the ANBU ninja to leave.

Then, he said softly, "Ai, the Raikage is gone. You must shoulder the responsibility, become the new Fourth Raikage, and lead Kumogakure forward!"

"Then I..."

Ai stood up, ready to make a decision.

But a few seconds later, he slumped down and said, "I understand, Uncle Tsuchida. I will show goodwill to Konoha and even submit to its rule."

"Konoha is too powerful. Even the three of us combined are no match for them, let alone one... The fact that you can stay calm shows that your father didn't misjudge you."

Tu Tai was quite pleased.

Then he gave some advice before leaving.

Ai looked at the portrait of the man laughing heartily in the office and fell silent.

Father……

Is this your last gamble?

but.

In the end, we still failed.

"If we lose, we'll accept it. What's wrong with tolerating it for a lifetime?"

These were his father's words before he left.

Even now, it seems to still echo in my ears.

Ai clenched her fists, firmly remembering those words.

……

In Konoha, amidst the ruins, houses were rebuilt one by one with the help of Wood Release.

Nearby, a giant puppet was helping to move some of the broken walls and debris.

outside the village.

A huge monument was erected next to the guard post.

The inscription describes how the people of Konoha united as one to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. A woman in a green robe stands beneath the monument, her fingers touching the words on it.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this monument is too heavy."

Tsunade sighed.

Konoha won, and won very easily.

At least in terms of the results, it was indeed "easy".

however.

Even so, many ninjas still died in the war.

Some ordinary people will never see Konoha as it is today.

"War always kills people, unless each of us can fight against ten thousand like you. But what about the future? After you and I are gone, they will start new wars, just like before."

As Tsunade spoke, her mood grew increasingly heavy. "Kyohiko, these past few days, I've felt more and more that the world is like a cycle, always repeating the stories of the past."

"This is inevitable."

Jingyan looked up at the stone tablet.

He remained silent for several seconds before saying, "For Madara, wasn't that scene just a repetition of the past?"

"yes!"

Tsunade sighed deeply.

All ninja villages were once individual clans that gradually came together after the chaos of war, seeking peace and tranquility.

Even after the village of Renren was built, war was still unavoidable for everyone.

even.

The scale of the war is greater than ever before.

Because everyone becomes more powerful after they unite, the scale of death in the event of war will be far more terrifying than before.

A virtual world...

Tsunade looked at Kyohiko and smiled, "You've always been good at creating miracles, can you do it this time?"

"How is that possible?"

Jingyan shook his head.

Peace……

This has been difficult to achieve throughout history. Even as a time traveler, he could not change the unchanging laws of time. All he could do was maintain it for a period of time and establish a concept of peace and unity.

not to mention.

This "unification" may take years or even decades to achieve.

He looked at the stone statue in the distance.

"In any case, at least there won't be any more wars in the short term."

"Um."

……

"Naruto!! You're asking for it!!!"

"Oh?! Mom, I was wrong, please stop chasing me!"

"If you don't run, will I chase you?"

Kushina's angry voice reached the ears of a blond boy across the street.

He screamed, waving a bucket of paint around wildly, splashing it everywhere. Kushina charged over, apologizing and yelling all the while.

soon.

Naruto bumped into a man, cried out in pain, and fell to the ground.

"you……"

He looked up and saw a strangely dressed man standing in front of him, with a red-haired child beside him, who was looking at him curiously.

In addition, paint splattered, and some inevitably splashed onto them.

The two children looked at each other.

Naruto stood up, scratched his head, and bowed in apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's nothing. You're Minato's son, right?"

The other party smiled slightly.

Naruto nodded slightly, staring at the man for a long time, feeling that the person in front of him looked very familiar.

After a few seconds, he suddenly slapped his forehead, took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and then exclaimed, "Oh! I know! You look just like my sister!"

Upon hearing the name, Luo Sha paused for a moment.

"Um, I..."

He paused for a few seconds, then said, "I'm his relative. Besides having some business to attend to, I also wanted to see Temari."

"Oh, you're my sister's relative. I'm so sorry, my name is Namikaze Naruto..."

Naruto is introducing himself.

Suddenly.

A hand grabbed his clothes from behind, lifted him up, and an angry voice burst out.

"Naruto!!!"

Kushina's forehead veins bulged, her face contorted with anger. Then, she quickly apologized, grabbing Naruto, "I'm sorry, Kazekage-sama..."

Wind Shadow?

Naruto was stunned for a few seconds.

Luo Sha was silent for a few seconds, then smiled smugly: "Don't call me Feng Ying anymore, it doesn't make any sense."

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wow, that was fast!

He had considered that Konoha's influence could become very significant, given the strength of Kyohiko and Minato, especially after the previous war...

Everyone knows that Kyohiko's strength has surpassed that of someone like Madara Uchiha.

Who would dare to be disrespectful?

even though--

The other party is only eighteen years old this year and is preparing to succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

can.

To Rasa's surprise, the first to be affected were Sunagakure, Amegakure, and the Land of Rivers.

Because of their own initiative on the North Side Cooperation Zone of the Land of Rivers and the North Side Greening Plan of the Land of Wind.

The more Konoha people there are, the stronger the influence of the "Will of Fire" becomes.

Everyone has their own opinion on what this thing is, and opinions vary. Konoha even encouraged everyone to discuss and learn about it.

This move is extremely ruthless.

Today, even within Sunagakure, many people agree with Konoha's ideals and ideologies.

How could Rasa not know that Konoha was good?

but.

What makes Konoha so good?

Because the Land of Fire and Konoha are wealthy and powerful, they are able to achieve this.

The Sand Village cannot do it, much less learn it.

They can only go their own way.

Tragically, Sunagakure has now become a vassal state of Konoha, and even the Land of Wind seems to think...

Why not seek help from Konoha in the Alliance District instead of Sunagakure to train Sunagakure?

As for the changes in the north of the Land of Wind.

All of this was done by Konoha. Sunagakure only contributed money and some manpower, but much of the money was allocated by them.

All of these factors have led to the current state of Konoha...

In the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, it seems poised to replace both of their ninja villages.

Unfortunately, the ninja villages of both countries were utterly powerless to resist. In fact, many people in the Land of Rain were cheering, and—

The harvest in Amegakure was also very good.

Although their village is still not completely free from flooding, the climate is much better than before.

Luo Sha originally wanted to struggle a little more.

Unfortunately, the daimyo of the Land of Wind has already surrendered, so what can they do?

In fact, this influence extends beyond Sunagakure and Amegakure; many smaller ninja villages have been influenced by Konoha's actions and are gradually being incorporated into the Allied Ninja Villages.

United Ninja Village.

This is the name that Kyohiko gave to this massive ninja village conglomerate.

"Let's go. I'll introduce you to Temari first, and then to Kyohiko this afternoon after the ceremony."

……

In the afternoon, at the Hokage Building in Konoha.

"Kyohiko, aren't you ready yet?"

"alright."

Jingyan got up and walked out of the house.

"How is it?"

Outside the door, Tsunade sat in a chair, idly playing with dice.

Over the years, she has not only paid off her debts but also accumulated wealth, and now she is quite well-off and can hardly resist the urge to spend.

He'll just wait until he leaves office to splurge!

Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle, and was about to urge him again.

The door opened.

A handsome man, wearing a Hokage cloak, walked out of the house. The cloak, slightly pulled down, obscured his handsome face.

but.

Looking up from below, you can still see half of Kyohiko's face.

Tsunade was taken aback.

This scene had appeared in her dreams countless times, but each time she woke up, the coldness and cruelty of reality would remind her, plunging her into fear and sorrow from which she could not escape.

Now, she has slowly forgotten those two faces.

It seems like...

This is the scene right in front of you.

"How is it?"

"Very good, very good! This is the demeanor of my successor!"

Tsunade stammered.

Jingyan raised his head and laughed, "Sister, you're wrong."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Tsunade's mind was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't react for a moment.

Jingyan laughed and said, "It's not about being a successor, but rather that you've finished your duties as acting Hokage, and I've taken back the Hokage position that rightfully belongs to me!"

He chuckled.

"Tsunade-neechan, I am the Hokage!"

"How dare you talk like that, you brat?!"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

Then, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Should I play along and say, 'Kyohiko, you'll regret this'?"

"Okay, okay."

Jingyan couldn't help but clap and cheer.

A soft cough came from the side, and the air fell silent for a moment.

Then, Kyohiko casually changed the subject.

"The weather is really nice today!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Tsunade nodded repeatedly, then looked outside and fell silent.

Splash!

Tiny raindrops pattered against the window.

Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating. It started raining this afternoon and hasn't stopped yet. This weather is far from "good".

"Ahem, Jingyan, given the situation, how about we reschedule for another day? Or, could we set up a tent on site? We can't let everyone stand in the rain, can we?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look. I'll put the straw hat down first."

Jingyan turned and went back into the house.

Tsunade's face froze instantly, and she cursed Kyohiko inwardly for being disloyal.

Then, she forced a smile.

"Please, teacher, have a seat!"

Tsunade pointed to the opposite side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly and said, "Danzo has been dead for many years, so there's no need to keep bringing up some things..."

"Yes, yes, we were just joking."

Tsunade nodded repeatedly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed silently and said, "We've already made arrangements for the rain. Everyone can watch from inside the shed, and those who can't fit at home..."

"No need for that!"

At that moment, Kyohiko opened the door and came out, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Lord Third Generation, I'll go and urge it to finish downloading quickly."

"what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't figure out what was going on—

Then, a thunderous roar erupted outside.

Thunder and lightning crisscrossed the sky.

Then, large raindrops poured down, pounding against the windows with a loud crackling sound.

The rain got heavier!

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

but.

As time passed, the rain gradually subsided, and a ray of sunlight began to shine through.

"How can we make everyone watch this at home just because of the weather?"

Jingyan said confidently, "Let's go!"

Looking at that ray of sunlight, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, this is the most precious Hokage inauguration ceremony, how can we let everyone stay at home?"

She winked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Then, Tsunade quickly followed Kyohiko's steps, humming a little tune.

The rain has stopped and the sky is clear.

Nothing brings more joy than this!

When Kyohiko stepped outside, the area below was already packed with people. Many Konoha villagers and people from all over the world had gathered there just to participate in the ceremony.

The moment Kyohiko appeared on the rooftop...

"Awooooo!"

Screams and cheers erupted from below.

With a confident smile, Kyohiko declared, "From today onwards, I, the Fifth Hokage Yoshimine Kyohiko, will officially lead everyone!"

"Kyohiko!!"

His name echoed throughout Konoha.

Jingyan looked at the crowd below, and a line of familiar text flashed before his eyes.

[Tsunade's acting Hokage status has been officially revoked.]

You have reclaimed the power of Hokage and become Hokage again. You will be the only Hokage in Konoha to be reinstated...

System, you're really stubborn!

Jingyan inwardly complained, but on his face, he still wore a warm smile.

Under his leadership...

The future of Konoha and the ninja world will definitely be better than before! (End of Chapter)
