I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

For example, Sasuke's classmates in his year of high school started having crushes on girls as early as five or six years old when they first entered school.

Therefore, even though she was not yet thirteen years old, Uzuki Yugao's heart couldn't help but beat faster after sensing her teacher's aura.

Although she has a slight case of face blindness, she can still sense that ethereal quality that keeps seeping into people's hearts.

On the rooftop, Uchiha Natsu had already looked around before putting the Hokage hat on his head.

Immediately, cheers erupted from below, mixed with screams from some girls.

A few bolder girls even shouted things like "Naruto-sama, I like you" when the crowd was loud.

They thought others couldn't hear them, but with Uchiha Natsu's hearing, she caught all the more prominent sounds.

But it went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Having received everyone's blessings and cheers, Uchiha Natsu officially became the Fifth Hokage.

After the Fifth Hokage's succession ceremony, Jiraiya went to the Hokage's office and found Uchiha Natsu.

As is customary, I handed over to the Hokage some information I had gathered during this period.

Some intelligence can be conveyed by letter, while other intelligence requires the inclusion of the individual's own thoughts and therefore must be discussed face-to-face.

Orochimaru, who defected three years ago, has now joined the Akatsuki organization and is likely still conducting those experiments that were once forbidden.

There were also Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The two villages had several small-scale wars, but they both took Konoha into consideration, so they didn't dare to start a major conflict.

The fourth-generation Raikage was an iron man; despite suffering such severe injuries, he recovered to his peak condition in less than a month.

After the Fourth Raikage recovered, the Yotsuki clan became somewhat arrogant and seemed to be considering some kind of plan.

However, it was rejected by the Fourth Raikage, and it seems to be under debate.

Jiraiya felt that the Yotsuki clan might want to harm Konoha, but he didn't know exactly how they would do it.

He suspected that the plan might involve the Akatsuki organization, which was beginning to emerge.

Yagura, the Mizukage of Kirigakure, continues his policy of persecuting those with bloodline limits. It's worth noting, however, that Zabuza Momochi has defected.

Finally, the Akatsuki organization is expanding its recruitment drive, and many exceptionally strong S-rank rogue ninjas have been recruited into the organization.

Uchiha Natsumi took notes, and then let Jiraiya continue his previous work.

If Jiraiya stayed in the village, it might affect Uchiha Natsu's future plans. Therefore, Jiraiya wanted to go out and have fun, which was in line with Uchiha Natsu's wishes.

Jiraiya pursed his lips, turned around, and walked towards the door of the Hokage's office.

But halfway there, he suddenly stopped.

After a pause, Jiraiya, without turning his head, said in a muffled voice:

"I hope you can inherit the old man's Will of Fire and carry it on. I am grateful to the Uchiha clan for eliminating Danzo, this scourge, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate the Uchiha clan's misdeeds."

After pausing again, Jiraiya made a graceful turn, struck a pose, and his expression and voice instantly became cheerful: "However, I, Lord Jiraiya, will not let that Senju Kamima get away with it. If I encounter him, I will definitely avenge the village."

"Wait for my good news."

After reciting his somewhat cheesy lines, Jiraiya turned around again, tossing his long, silver-white hair with what he considered a dashing air, and quickly walked out of the Hokage's office.

A gentle breeze drifted in through the window, turning a page of the book on the table, just as the history of Konoha Village began a new chapter.

Uchiha Natsu closed the book on the table and called out, "Kakashi."

"exist."

The door opened, and Kakashi walked in, with Shisui beside him.

Both of them are now members of the Shadow Guard.

Meanwhile, the Anbu, which originally belonged to Kakashi's team, is currently extremely busy with the initial screening of new members.

The hidden forces have suffered heavy losses, and the root forces have been completely wiped out. We must recruit people as soon as possible.

As for the Shadow Guard, under Uchiha Natsu's arrangement, only Kakashi and Shisui remained.

Kakashi and Shisui knelt in the center of the room, looking up at the Fifth Hokage.

Uchiha Natsu put on the Hokage's hat, walked out the door, and casually slipped two envelopes to Kakashi and Shisui.

"Kakashi gave the letter to Hiashi Hyuga, and Shisui gave the letter to the Eighth Hokage Uchiha. I had already communicated with them in advance and asked them to take over the position of advisor."

After handing over the letter, Uchiha Natsu walked to the door and touched his pocket.

The scroll there sealed two corpses.

"Advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have both resigned and gone on a trip."

“They were getting old, and it was time for them to retire and see the world. As soon as they left, I found new people for them.”

After saying that, Uchiha Natsu left the Hokage's office.

Actually, Uchiha Natsu didn't really want to be the Hokage.

Becoming Hokage means being confined to Konoha, and there are an overwhelming number of things to do, especially after experiencing this series of events, the sheer number of things to handle is staggering.

Either don't do it at all, or if you do it, do it as well as you can. You can't just do anything half-heartedly.

With this mindset, Uchiha Natsu was incredibly busy in his position as Hokage.

Although becoming Hokage is troublesome, Uchiha Natsu would never agree to let someone from another clan become Hokage.

None of the other members of the Uchiha clan were trusted by the Jonin to the point of being able to become Hokage.

Therefore, the position of Hokage can only be filled by Uchiha Natsu himself.

The plan to visit the Akatsuki organization has been temporarily shelved.

However, Uchiha Natsu also came up with a solution.

First, promote the eighth generation to the position of consultant and familiarize them with the business.

I'll look for another opportunity to hire a member of my tribe as an assistant to share the workload.

After a while, I'll hand over all the Hokage-related work to these people to handle, and then Uchiha Natsu will be able to extricate himself and continue with his own plans.

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

But now, Uchiha Natsu has one more thing to do.

Stepping out of the Hokage Building, you are greeted by dazzling sunlight and a gentle breeze that caresses your cheeks.

Uchiha Natsu walked along the street, and everyone he met greeted him, which he responded with a nod.

Before long, they arrived at Naruto's house.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a somewhat messy small living room, much smaller than Uchiha Natsu's room.

Uchiha Natsu walked to the table and saw a ramen box that hadn't been thrown away, with a layer of soup inside that had solidified.

An indescribable odor filled the air, maliciously assaulting Uchiha Natsu's sense of smell.

Chapter 119 One-Handed Hand Seals

Turning around, Uchiha Natsu raised his hand and used Wind Release ninjutsu to open the window, blowing away the strange smell in the room.

"Eating instant noodles at only three years old..." Uchiha Natsu looked at the instant noodle box, speechless.

As if hearing someone open the window, a child's innocent voice, filled with surprise and anticipation, came from the bedroom.

"Three generations of grandfathers!"

Naruto, with his blond hair and small stature, ran out of the bedroom excitedly.

But as soon as she stepped outside, her face fell again when she saw Uchiha Natsu's face.

My eyes are a little red and swollen, and I feel extremely down.

However, at only three years old, it was already noticeable that Naruto was smaller than his peers like Sasuke.

It's definitely caused by malnutrition.

Thinking of the meager compensation he had received, Uchiha Natsu couldn't help but feel indignant, but on the surface he still maintained the dignity of a Hokage.

"Naruto, are you still sad about the Third Hokage?" Uchiha Natsu said as she walked to the refrigerator.

"Hmm." Naruto nodded dejectedly, clutching an old photo of Hiruzen Sarutobi in his two small hands.

Uchiha Natsu opened the refrigerator, then raised an eyebrow.

The refrigerator's crisper drawer was crammed full of boxed milk and bagged bread, almost bursting out of the container.

I reached out and grabbed a box, glanced at the expiration date, and realized it was about to expire.

Uchiha Natsu asked in confusion, "Naruto, there's so much milk and bread in the fridge, why aren't you eating any?"

Naruto looked up again, his attention drawn to Uchiha Natsu.

He scratched his head and said seriously, "I like instant noodles..."

"This milk is about to expire, it will spoil if we don't drink it. Besides, eating only instant noodles is not a balanced diet, we need to eat meat, eggs and dairy products."

Uchiha Natsu was speechless.

Due to the influence of the internet in his previous life, coupled with his own experiences in this life, Uchiha Natsu always believed that the Third Hokage treated the orphans of heroes very harshly.

Otherwise, Naruto wouldn't have had to pitifully drink expired milk, resulting in diarrhea and malnutrition.

But now, when Uchiha Natsumi looked at the contents of the refrigerator, he didn't know what to say.

The Third Hokage was simply stingy with himself because he was from the Uchiha clan.

The milk hasn't completely expired, which means that the contents of the refrigerator have been replaced at least once.

Given Naruto's current behavior, he probably didn't eat much of what was in the refrigerator last time.

I glanced at the small warehouse again; it was full of various paints, buckets, and brushes.

Naruto hasn't started drawing everywhere yet, but it's clear he already has this idea.

Although the paint wasn't expensive, it was still quite a luxury for a three-year-old.

From this perspective, while the Third Hokage wasn't particularly generous in his treatment of Naruto, he was still fairly decent.

Even if they don't give much money, they will definitely provide food such as bread and milk regularly.

But if it were Uchiha Natsu, he would be excessively stingy. Even if he saved every penny, the appeasement money wouldn't be enough.
