Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

The office fell silent again.

Only occasionally, when Uchiha Mikoto, Konan, and a few others came to report on their work, they would instinctively widen their eyes upon seeing Tsunade's attire.

Even Samui, upon seeing it, would reveal a look of resentment after secretly comparing it to others.

the other side.

After the Jonin meeting ended, staff members posted notices throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha announcing that Shirakumo Aoba would become the new Hokage.

As for the voting method, villagers simply put slips of paper with their opinions written on them into the mailbox under the notice.

Those who did not vote were considered to have abstained and their votes were not counted in the total vote count.

With the announcement of the new Hokage, Konoha Village entered a period of turmoil.

After all, they were completely unprepared for the announcement of the sudden change of Hokage.

However, many villagers are quite familiar with the name Baiyun Qingye.

In addition to being a disciple of the Hokage, he also holds the title of the second "God of Shinobi" in the ninja world.

Of course, most importantly, Konoha Amusement Park was established under the suggestion and leadership of Shirakumo Aoba.

This undoubtedly made him quite prestigious in Konoha.

Among the various ninja clans, the elders who participated in today's Jonin meeting also shared this news with their younger generations.

"Father, is Aoba really going to become Hokage?!"

Hanabi, who was huddled with Hinata under the kotatsu reading a book within the Hyuga clan, became excited after hearing what Hyuga Hiashi, who had just returned home, said.

Hinata's eyes also shone with light.

"Today we'll hold the Jonin election, tomorrow the villagers' election, and the day after tomorrow the succession ceremony."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said.

Even his usually stern face broke into an irrepressible smile of satisfaction.

After all, he'll be having a Hokage son-in-law in the future.

"Great!"

Hanabi excitedly jumped out of the kotatsu, hands on her hips, "Then I'll be the Hokage's disciple from now on!"

"Fireworks, steady and reliable!"

Although Hiashi Hyuga was also happy, seeing Hanabi's restless state, he still spoke up to remind her.

"Since you are Qingye's disciple, you should learn from him as much as possible and become a qualified head of the clan as soon as possible!"

Now, he no longer has to worry about his two daughters' affairs within the family.

In the past, the old folks in his family had been subtly and overtly reminding him to put Hanabi in a cage, but now Hanabi is a Hokage disciple.

If those old fogies still have objections, then they can go and talk to the Hokage!

"Uh... I'll try my best."

Hanabi's face fell upon hearing this.

My initial excitement quickly dissipated, and I gave a somewhat insincere reply.

Seeing her like this, Hyuga Hiashi frowned immediately. "Don't you want to become the head of the main family?"

"I do not have……"

Hanabi said guiltily.

"Ok?"

Hiashi Hyuga's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

It's one thing that the eldest daughter has no interest in the position of head of the clan, but why is the youngest daughter the same?

Just as he was about to give her a good interrogation, Hinata Natsu walked in from outside.

"Clan leader, Hinata's friend is here looking for her."

"Find me?"

Hinata looked somewhat bewildered.

"Could it be Brother Qingye?"

Hanabi's eyes lit up, and she ran out first.

She realized that Hiashi Hyuga was about to nag, so she quickly made her escape.

"Miss Fireworks..."

Hinata Natsumi wanted to say that the person who came wasn't Shirakumo Aoba, but Hanabi had already disappeared.

"..."

Chapter 627 Snap—

"This girl!"

As Hiashi Hyuga watched Hanabi disappear in the blink of an eye after just a few words, a few veins throbbed on his forehead.

The good mood that was originally due to the upcoming marriage to a Hokage son-in-law was greatly suppressed.

"Hanabi is still young, and it's too early for her to become the head of the family. She'll naturally understand when she grows up."

Seeing her husband sulking, Ayako Hinata, sitting on the other side, couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

As a mother, she could naturally see her youngest daughter's dependence on Bai Yunqingye, but there was nothing she could do; the main family needed someone to inherit it.

She and Hiashi Hyuga are getting old, and her health isn't very good, so it's unlikely that she can have another heir.

If there's really no other way, then we can only do what Hiashi Hyuga suggested back then: let Hanabi take over as a temporary replacement, and then let Aoba and Hinata have a child before taking over.

"Ah~"

Faced with his wife's words of comfort, Hiashi Hyuga could only sigh softly.

He never expected that his initial intention of asking Bai Yunqingye to help him escape his eldest daughter's fate would end up dragging his younger daughter down with him.

Hinata didn't participate in her parents' conversation. She crawled out of the kotatsu and asked Hyuga Natsu, "Natsu-neechan, it shouldn't be Aoba-kun who came to see me, right?"

Hyuga Natsu nodded. "It's Karin-san, Kurotsuchi-san, and Fu-san."

She will become Baiyun Qingye's maid in the future. She knows all the people around her and has conducted a thorough investigation.

Of course, it wasn't some kind of secret investigation.

Instead, it's a survey of daily preferences and personal habits.

"Karin?"

Hinata blinked, surprised that Karin, Kurotsuchi, and Fu, this oddly-matched trio, would come looking for her.

Karin could understand, but Kurotsuchi and Fu were not actually very familiar with each other.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, she still got up and prepared tea and snacks with Xia.

On the first day of the new year, friends come to visit, so of course we have to treat them well.

Soon, Hanabi led Karin and the other two in.

However, it seems that the three of them did not come to visit and offer New Year's greetings, but rather came on business.

Because Karin's expression looked very serious, Kurotsuchi and Fu were rather relaxed, even in a state of watching the show.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Hiashi and Aunt Ayako."

Although Karin was in a hurry, she still politely wished the two elders a Happy New Year.

"Happy New Year."

Heitu and Fu also bowed slightly in greeting.

"Happy New Year! Sit down and have some snacks first."

Ayako Hinata responded to the three of them with a smile.

Hiashi Hyuga nodded calmly to the three of them. From any perspective, today was a joyous day, and he didn't keep a stern face.

However, when he saw the fireworks that were secretly hiding behind Fu, he couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that he was about to scold her again, Ayako Hyuga quickly pulled him back and said with a smile to the three women, "You're here to see Hinata, right? You can talk about what you need to say. Hiashi and I are going out for a bit."

Seeing that his wife had come to his daughter's rescue, and with outsiders present, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't be too harsh on her, so he left the house.

"call--"

"It's a good thing you came, otherwise I would have been nagged by my father again."

As Hyuga Hiashi left, Hanabi patted her chest, walked out from behind Fu, and then crawled into the kotatsu.

Although ninjas generally have good resistance to cold, they can't resist the comfort of a kotatsu.

"Fu, please come and sit down too."

After sitting down, Hanabi waved to Fu and the others.

She and Fu have a pretty good relationship. They are both students at the Ninja Academy. Although they are different ages, they occasionally visit each other's classes or walk home together after school.

With the departure of the imposing Hyuga Hiashi, Karin and the other two also felt a significant reduction in pressure.

Fu happily sat down next to the fireworks, and the two little girls proudly showed off their oranges together.

Karin and Kurotsuchi each sat on one side.

Hinata placed the tea she had poured in front of the three of them after they were seated. Seeing Karin's serious expression, she simply asked, "Karin, is there something you need from me?"

"Hinata, can you use your Byakugan to find Temari's current location?"

When Hinata asked, Karin couldn't wait to ask as well.

Looking for Temari?

Hinata looked puzzled. Weren't the two of them neighbors? And Karin also had sensory ninjutsu. Did she really need Karin's help to find her?
