Master, please become the Hokage

She nodded, her beautiful face showing no emotion.

"Namikaze Minato, you must work hard and try to compete for the next Hokage..."

Because that way, Kushina can achieve a happy ending with you.

Chapter 111. Kushina's Belonging Issue

When everyone felt that Minato Namikaze was qualified and should participate in the competition for the next Hokage.

Minato Namikaze's anxiety quietly spread in his own heart.

After all, Minato Namikaze couldn't tell anyone else about...Naruto.

Therefore, he could only find a way to get closer to Kushina... and use this opportunity to create intimacy.

However, Uzumaki Mito is still alive.

Be vigilant about some things.

After all, Uzumaki Mito, who came from a prominent family during the Warring States period, was extremely conservative and traditional in his thinking.

As a result, Kushina, who had been disciplined and educated, also completely accepted some of the ideas of the ancient tradition...

Just as Minato Namikaze kept trying and working hard.

the other side.

As the leader of the Jonin squad... and the new Hokage's staff, Sarutobi Ryo is followed by everyone.

In the past few days, there has been a constant stream of visitors.

The clan heads and department heads had never come so frequently before.

One emperor and one courtier.

Everyone understands the truth.

So they knew very well who would be the mastermind in the future.

Time flies by so quickly.

On the day Hatake Sakumo took office, the entire Konoha was immersed in cheers.

The news of the Jonin Hatake Sakumo had already been spread to various countries by messengers.

I believe that it won’t be long before the entire ninja world will know about the birth of the new Hokage.

By that time, the stalemate in the later stages of the war will undergo a qualitative change.

After all, Konoha White Fang's reputation is feared throughout the ninja world.

The third generation ninja hero is in his prime.

The existence of these two top powerhouses is the backbone of Konoha and an important weight to deter other countries.

Just like how Sunagakure chose the fourth generation, Hagura.

The Fourth Hokage was born in Konoha.

The internal strife in Kirigakure should have been almost resolved, with Yagura taking over and appearing before everyone as the perfect Jinchūriki.

Then, a new era will have arrived.

The fourth generations of various countries took office one after another, which also foreshadowed the end of the Third Ninja World War.

I just don’t know what will happen to Yuyin.

This time and space.

Hanzo did not join forces with Danzo to murder Akatsuki.

But Hanzo will definitely solve Akatsuki's problem.

Will Nagato be appeased by Hanzo, or...will they continue to fight? We will have to wait and see.

This is also one of the many events that Konoha needs to prevent.

After suffering losses in the Third Ninja World War, Konoha began to restrain itself a little and face the Ninja World with a more cautious attitude.

"It's about time..."

Ryo Sarutobi stood on the Hokage Rock.

Hatake Sakumo was right in front of him.

Hatake Sakumo, wearing the Hokage's conical hat, had an unusually serious expression on his face.

With a stern face, Hatake Sakumo whispered to his disciple, "Well... I'm still not used to this kind of big scene..."

Below the Hokage Rock, there were crowds of Konoha people.

They are all waiting for the announcement of the appointment.

And with Sarutobi Ryo, he conveyed the handover from the Third Hokage to the Fourth Hokage with full energy.

The crowd below finally burst into cheers.

“Ohhhhh~~~!”

The people of Konoha have been looking forward to this for too long.

The appointment of the new Hokage heralds a change in the situation.

The war is coming to an end and a new era of peace is arriving. This is what countless people are looking forward to.

The lively inauguration ceremony lasted the entire morning.

Hatake Sakumo kept waving and parading through the streets.

Finally...he returned to the Hokage Building and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"call......"

After being busy for a long time, Hatake Sakumo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could really relax.

More affairs...are waiting for him.

Inside the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Koharu, Mito Kaden, Danzo Shimura, and Lake Biwa.

There are also Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi Ryo.

The door was closed, and it was obvious that the four senior executives had something to say.

"The Yondaime..."

As soon as Utane Koharu spoke, she was the Yondaime, no longer as rude as before.

Obviously, the position of Hokage highlights the real improvement of Hatake Sakumo's status.

"And Sarutobi Ryo, there are some things I should let you know..."

Utane Koharu begins to talk about the secrets that only the top leaders know.

As various confidential matters were revealed, the surprise on Hatake Sakumo's face grew deeper and deeper.

When Utane Koharu said...Uzumaki Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Hatake Sakumo felt that his world view was overturned.

because.

From the historical knowledge he learned when he was a child, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a mythical existence.

It is said that every once in a while, the Nine-Tailed Fox will appear in the world due to the accumulation of resentment among the people...

Now, the Konoha high-level officials actually said that Mito-sama was the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Uzumaki Kushina was the second.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is a creature that exists within Konoha...

"And Uzumaki Kushina...will she marry Namikaze Minato?"

Hatake Sakumo, with a look of surprise on his face, quickly considered the issue of the jinchūriki's ownership.

Although I didn't know that the Nine-Tails was inside Konoha before.

But I have seen many similar solutions in other countries.

Konoha has never imprisoned Jinchūriki like Sunagakure does.

This shows that the layout is modeled after the layout of ninja villages such as Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

In other words... only those who have a close relationship with the Kage can serve as the Jinchūriki.

So, what will happen to Kushina's life?

Now that she is of marriageable age, it is impossible for her to be alone for the rest of her life.

"Well, that's what we're talking about..."

Utane Koharu's expression relaxed slightly.

Mito-sama is Tobirama-sama's sister-in-law, so there is no problem with her placement.

Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen took office.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uzumaki Mito was his master's wife, so the latter was also safe and sound.

But it was Kushina's generation.

There are some problems.

Kushina and Uzumaki Mito are relatives.

In other words, Kushina was made the Jinchūriki for Mito Uzumaki's sake.

Because Kushina and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not related.

Now, Hatake Sakumo has become the fourth generation, and he is even further away from Kushina.

This question...is going to be huge.

If Minato Namikaze became the fourth generation, there wouldn't be so many problems.

This thought flashed through Utane Koharu's mind and then disappeared completely.

"Namikaze Minato... has no relationship with you at all..."

Utane Koharu began to shake her head.

What we are considering now is not the question of whose disciple Minato Namikaze is.

But the question is...what is the relationship between Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato.

Since there is no connection, the only option is to let Kushina and Hatake Sakumo establish some kind of connection.

Therefore, who will marry Kushina is what the top management is considering.

"This is simple."

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly spoke.

"Let Minato Namikaze recognize Sakumo-sensei as his godfather, and the problem will be solved."

Utane Koharu, Mitomon En: "..."

In terms of age.

Hatake Sakumo was very reluctant and could not be Namikaze Minato's adoptive father because the two were only about 15 years apart in age.

To talk about finding a godfather at this age, it's still too...

"It's a bit forced." Mitomon Yan frowned and disagreed.

Chapter 112. Mikoto Pregnancy

"Sarutobi Ryo."

Utane Koharu suddenly looked at Sarutobi Ryo.

"Taking all factors into consideration, you are the only one who is suitable to marry Kushina..."
