He had received more attention in his entire life than on this one day combined…

And that's exactly what he wanted!

Hiruko enjoyed the cheers for a while, then fixed his gaze on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It's Naruto...

This gave him this opportunity!

In fact, Hiruko did not feel that his contribution of 'cell fusion' technology deserved this honor.

If that's the case, then this is the Hokage's earnest expectation and trust in him...

After these five people have all appeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then pointed to both sides of the platform:

"A warrior who will always protect Konoha and fight bravely against the enemy!"

"Sakumo Hatake and Hizashi Hyuga!"

The Konoha ninjas searched for a while before discovering that the two were wearing ANBU uniforms and masks…

They are currently on duty at a high vantage point.

The two removed their masks and waved to everyone.

They were greeted with enthusiastic cheers as a tribute to their continued work.

On one side of the training ground, Kakashi, who was preparing to go into battle, couldn't maintain his cool demeanor when he saw his father being praised like this...

He jumped and clapped for his father, and waved vigorously to Sakumo Hatake from the high point.

Sakumo Hatake smiled slightly, looking at his son as well, and responded to Kakashi with a very nonchalant air.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Hizashi, standing to the side, maintained his aloof demeanor and gave a slight nod in greeting.

He glanced subtly at the Hyuga clan members' reactions before looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing this, Danzo frowned slightly.

No, after working and living in Konoha for so many years, this is the first time he has ever seen someone copy his character design!

Is that correct?

You copied Ninja Darkness too? You really think this is something to learn?

But Danzo was helpless.

Hizashi and Sakumo were like two of Hiruzen Sarutobi's most trusted lieutenants, never compromising their principles in any way.

If they discover anything amiss, they should bypass him, the head of the Anbu, and report directly to the Hokage…

Therefore, Danzo is currently very well-behaved.

When he first sat down, he had considered that since Nichijou had elevated his prestige so much, perhaps he could expand his influence slightly and cultivate a group of people who were relatively loyal to him…

Danzo's intention was not to fight Hiruzen, but to deal with Orochimaru.

But the thought of Sakumo and Hizashi extinguished Danzo's interest in that area...

He certainly didn't want to find himself in a ninja clan, only to be teased and told to be careful in the future when he reported back to Hiruzen the next day...

"Hiruzen, you're doing a better and better job as Hokage now..." Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and shook his head with a sigh.

He was actually annoyed by the restriction of his power.

However, Danzo was no longer angry after discovering Hiruzen's ingenious deconstruction of the Anbu.

As the Hokage, you have to both limit his ability to assist others and allow him to get things done!

In a sense, it's a case of 'the more they fight, the more they admire them'...

And among the Hyuga clan's audience.

Hyuga Tenzo looked at his youngest son, whose face was as cold as ice, and sighed softly.

He truly hadn't expected that Hizashi, despite being from a branch family, would be so highly regarded by Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Hinata Takashi stared longingly at Hizashi's figure, listening to the cheers in his ears.

My last line of defense crumbled.

When Hyuga Takashi was appointed as a committee member that day, he was already so distressed that he couldn't sleep.

When they met at the clan's territory, even he, as the head of the clan, had to lower his head and respectfully address him as "Commissioner Richa"!

The thick barrier between the two sides has been reversed from this moment on...

And now he's being honored by the Hokage on such a grand occasion!

Hyuga Takashi secretly glanced at Hyuga Tenzo and made up his mind.

There's no future in hanging out with this old man...

I need to find a way to curry favor with the day laborers when I have time, and see if I can put in a good word for them with the Hokage so I can get a decent job...

Staying in the main family all the time is really not a good thing!

While separating from the family is like a caged bird, the original family, being in the cage, isn't so free either...

Hiashi Hyuga sighed slightly, but still clapped for his younger brother first, his hands turning red from clapping.

"And, Uchiha Yan!"

"Having lived through the Warring States period, he still stepped forward when the village needed him, actively passing on his experience to the younger generation. Two months ago, he even led a team to capture a large number of spies from Kusakabe Village..."

"Holding bones as torches, they illuminated the village and future generations!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi uttered a name that surprised everyone.

Uchiha?

It turned out to be an Uchiha...

It wasn't Fugaku or Isshin, but an unknown old Uchiha man...

Among the Uchiha clan spectators, many clansmen stared at him in shock.

Guangyu Zhiha Yan said that the Hokage once gave him a pack of cigarettes...

Everyone thought it was just bragging!

Given the awkward relationship between the Hokage lineage and the Uchiha clan, this whole thing sounds incredibly unlikely.

It seems this is actually true...

Uchiha En was also experiencing a great deal of internal turmoil.

He wanted to maintain the Uchiha's traditional aloofness, so he gave a curt reply.

But as soon as he stood up, he couldn't help but smile and wave to everyone.

On the training ground, Minato Namikaze gave him a thumbs-up and waved to him.

Uchiha Isshin's heart sank.

If the Uchiha clan wasn't mentioned, given the clan members' personalities, they would definitely feel dissatisfied.

This is where we can make a statement.

If it were Fugaku or himself, Isshin would also find a way to internalize that reputation.

But it just so happens to be Uchiha Homura from the patrol unit!

This old bastard has been getting really close with that brat Minato Namikaze lately, and he even inexplicably unlocked the three-tomoe form...

They have already been categorized as pro-Naruto.

But in the hearts of most Uchiha, Yan was a veteran hawk who had come from the Warring States period...

This is cutting off his right to speak as the head of the Uchiha clan!

Uchiha Isshin felt exhausted.

When fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi in the arena, it always seems like I'm hit without warning...

Nobody has gone to complain!

Isshin glanced at Fugaku, who was clapping and cheering for Uchiha En, and was about to explode with anger.

How can a successor who is this stupid possibly govern the Uchiha clan well?

Is there really no one who can help him?

"it is good…"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly, extended his right hand, and clenched it slightly.

The noisy and bustling martial arts arena immediately quieted down and returned to silence.

"These ten people are those who have performed relatively well in the village recently, and those who haven't been mentioned..."

"For example, our Xiaochun and Yan, our advisors, led the administration department to build a solid bridge with the Land of Fire."

Koharu and Mitokado felt a warmth in their hearts.

It has to be Hiruzen; he took such good care of her. He's always been a kind and considerate person, from childhood to adulthood...

"There are also ninjas and students who take missions, work, and training seriously. As long as everyone does their job, they are contributing to the development of Konoha..." Hiruzen Sarutobi made a dumpling.

The applause was still thunderous.

"it is good…"

"I originally intended to say just a few words."

"But once you start talking about it, you can't stop, right? Everyone's tired of hearing it, aren't they?" Hiruzen Sarutobi joked humorously.

"Now, please welcome our main guest to the stage!"

"First, let's talk about the little geniuses at the Ninja Academy. With the great help of your parents, they're already showing promising signs of success..."

"My unfilial son even started this 'Azure Dragon Gang'..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Asuma blushed slightly; it wasn't shameful to talk about this kind of thing at the Ninja Academy...
