In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Now that everything has settled, no matter how Danzo proves himself, even if he finally escapes, the Root is still destroyed, and the dead cannot be resurrected.

The two bloody men were standing under the shade of the trees outside the Hokage Building. Naruto looked at the clear blue sky and suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

Uzuki Yugao was lost in thought, her eyes unfocused. She leaned against the tree with her hands folded and a cold expression, as if she had relaxed from immense pressure.

Cicadas chirp in the trees and the summer breeze is cool.

No one spoke, nor moved. They just sat there quietly, enjoying the afterglow of victory after revenge and the pleasure of letting off some pressure.

Someone came down from the Hokage Building, looked at the two blood-stained men, then immediately looked away and left quickly. Tsunade's right-hand man dismantled Danzo's left-hand man.

This is too much fun, but no one who knows about it dares to say it and can only remain silent.

In the conference room, Danzo was furious.

"Where's the evidence?! I'm asking you, is the evidence true?! It's a complete fabrication!"

Tsunade was very calm, sitting in the main seat, her eyes sweeping over the two old advisors. She even wanted to laugh now, the more excited Danzo became, the more amused she found it.

The Root has become a thing of the past. In non-war times, Konoha only needs the Anbu.

Crazy! Danzo's temples bulged, and he was on the verge of a rage. That crazy woman had taken advantage of the brief time during the high-level meeting to present evidence and eliminate all the Root members he had worked so hard to cultivate.

"The evidence has been submitted, and its authenticity can be guaranteed to be within a reasonable range." Tsunade said indifferently, "The Root rebelled prematurely, so we have to suppress it."

"You!!" Danzo almost slammed the table.

The high-level meeting room was bustling with activity, and the two veteran advisors wore gloomy expressions. The leaders of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly tribes sat on the other side, looking at each other.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza looked at Nara Shikaku. Shikaku remained silent, staring at Tsunade on the throne, unsure of what to think. The current situation had been foreshadowed; it was merely the end of a game of chess.

The root tissue is gone, the bones are crushed and the ashes are scattered. As the saying goes, the person is dead, what else can be done?

But then again, Tsunade's drastic measures had taken everyone by surprise. Even if the procedure was fair, it was still a very serious matter.

There was even the possibility that she would resign. If the Fifth Hokage abdicated, would the Sixth Hokage be... Kakashi? Nara Shikaku's eyelids twitched. He should have thought of this earlier.

Almost everyone in the Hokage Building knew that Kakashi had been an intern at the Hokage position and hadn't been on a mission for a long time. He was exhausted just getting used to the Hokage's job, so much so that Kakashi had to work overtime every day.

Good job, Kakashi.

Nara Shikaku came to his senses, and the conference room was already expressing its views. Tsunade and Danzo were equally at fault, and the old advisors Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were holding them both accountable.

Tsunade threw up her hands in a shameless manner, "What have I done wrong? This is just an emergency matter, and it needs to be handled urgently. Don't the Anbu even have this little right?"

"The measures are a bit extreme." said the consultant.

"Then there's nothing to say. I'll just resign." Tsunade threw a document on the table, feeling relieved and almost smiling.

"Then the next Hokage... you can just pick someone."

"Tsunade!!" Danzo couldn't bear it any longer. This was practically a slap in his face. "You've wanted to do this for a long time, right? You made up all the evidence!"

"You're just trying to drag me down!"

"I didn't do that. Lord Danzo, please don't frame me." Tsunade showed a disdainful smile on her face, as if to say, what can you do to me?

"At least I am still the Hokage now, and I still have the power of the Hokage. Please respect me a little."

Respect for chicken feathers, Danzo wanted to kill the gods. But he happened to meet a rogue Hokage, who had no moral integrity at all and was simply a madman.

With the Root replaced, Danzo no longer had any power to draw upon. Furthermore, he was now plagued by misfortune and faced the accusation of betrayal. Even if these events ultimately came to nothing, Danzo was destined to retire.

........

downstairs.

"What are they talking about?" Naruto smelled the blood on his body, and the temperature around him was getting higher and higher. "I can't stand it. Let's go first."

"The meeting is almost over, it seems we are no longer needed." Mao Yue Xi Yan withdrew her gaze, nodded and said.

"Let's go."

The two of them went back to their homes, both wanting to take a shower quickly.

Coming out of the bathroom, Naruto collapsed onto the sofa. The Nine-Tails had disappeared, nowhere to be found. He stared down at the ceiling, his entire body relaxing.

In the dim living room, the clock on the wall ticked away.

Thinking about what happened today, he had a vague feeling in his heart. Tsunade resigned and dealt with Danzo and the Root.

By the way, he weakened the power of the advisors and eliminated some unstable factors while they were still in office. In this way, Konoha could be lightly equipped and enjoy a second spring under Kakashi's leadership.

Second Spring.......

Tsunade abdicated, so I had to abdicate as well. I stopped messing around in Konoha and turned my attention to places outside the village, the Land of Snow...

But when I think about it, time seems to have flown by so quickly. Six or seven years have passed in a flash, and it feels like that summer when I was twelve was just yesterday.

Tsunade reluctantly succeeded the Fifth Hokage and pulled herself to stand beside him. She told me that her future would be smooth sailing, surrounded by people and walking along the bustling avenue.

I didn't take it too seriously at first, but now that I think about it, it seems like Tsunade really did it. Part of it was the result of my own efforts, and part of it was thanks to Tsunade.

She had been Hokage for six years, and everything was going smoothly for her. But at the end, she realized that time had passed and Tsunade was no longer the Fifth Hokage.

What about her life after retirement? Where will she go? Will she continue traveling? Will she travel and gamble to pass the time like she did many years ago?

Shizune will follow, but the medical team is still empty-handed.

Naruto's eyelids grew heavier as he thought about all sorts of things. No matter how hard he tried, he felt like something important had come to an end along with the revenge.

When I woke up, Mao Yue Xigao was sitting opposite me on the sofa.

Her expression remained stern, and at her feet lay a bag of money. It was about the one million taels she had promised. She had said it would be as soon as possible in the morning, and in the afternoon... well, it should be evening now.

"When did you come? And without turning on the lights?"

Naruto sat up from the sofa. After all, he wasn't used to sleeping on it; it was too soft and easily gave him back pain. He stared at her blankly for a moment before slowly coming to his senses.

"I've been here for quite a while, maybe half an hour." Mao Yue Xi Yan didn't hesitate and replied with her feet crossed, "Here is the one million taels you asked for. It's all here."

"Yeah." Naruto nodded. "You should be promoted to captain of the Anbu soon, right? You have enough experience and qualifications, and Kakashi needs someone he can trust."

"Maybe." Mao Yue Xi Yan finally relaxed at this time, and her stern face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally relaxed a little. "It's all over, everything is over."

"It's indeed over," Naruto sighed.

Uzuki Yugao stayed for a while and then left. Naruto casually stuffed the one million into the cabinet, thinking about how to deal with this sudden situation.

Putting Tsunade's affairs aside for now, he was involved in the operation after all. He had already registered with the consultant, and when Tsunade left, he had to prepare to leave as well.

It's not that the village can't accommodate him, but for him, traveling around like Jiraiya and Tsunade is the most comfortable state. Staying in the village, he is either ordered around or feared.

The sword in the hands of the former Hokage is not left alone. In any case, Kakashi will definitely not let him do anything too dangerous. It is actually quite boring for Naruto to stay in the village.

Uzuki Yugao was able to stay because she was suitable. Her abilities and qualifications were designed to allow her to become the captain of the Anbu under the Sixth Hokage after Tsunade was dismissed.

Kakashi was also a captain of the Anbu, and was in the same class as Uzuki Yugao. To some extent, both Uzuki Yugao and Kakashi were brought up by Tsunade.

But Naruto is different, his identity is too special. Rather than being a direct descendant of Tsunade, it is more like a closer relationship.

From stripping the tailed beasts to Tsunade's blatant favoritism towards Naruto, it was destined that as long as Naruto stayed in Konoha, the heat of this matter would never fade.

Two of the four top leaders resigned in one day, which was not a good thing for Konoha. The various families were also not easy to deal with and lacked trust in Kakashi.

But as long as he has the support of the two major advisors, and Kakashi's legitimate status as the direct descendant of the third, fourth, and fifth Hokage, the doubts and noise will disappear, and only white noise will remain.

"So when are you leaving?" Hongdou asked, her feet crossed on the sofa, eating from a fruit platter in her hands. "Oh, by the way, my job has been transferred there."

"Teaching at the Ninja School? How does your first day at work feel?" He asked without raising his head while playing with her feet with one hand.

"It's okay, not as boring as I imagined." Hongdou said nonchalantly, "Ninja schools back then didn't have as many activities as they do now. They were all subjects designed for going to the battlefield."

"It seems like you've been to the battlefield many times, but actually, not many times." He laughed.

"I was just a Genin at the time. Why would I rush forward? To die?" Hongdou said unconvincedly. "Besides, going to the battlefield is not that fun."

"For a mediocre talent like me, this is simply hell."

"You finally admit that you are a loser?" Naruto laughed, and his hand moved up along the curve of the leg, then stopped.

Hongdou felt something strange and hugged the fruit plate tightly in her arms.

"If you want to eat it, cut it yourself."

"That's not what I meant..." he said, "You can't just come here to chat, right?"

"You said the same thing last time, then you snatched all my red bean balls, ate them, and left." Hongdou gnashed with hatred, "You left after teasing me, you're such a jerk!"

"Who told you to eat sweets when I caught you? Didn't I tell you to eat fruit at most?" Naruto said matter-of-factly, "Do you want to be as fat as a bucket?"

"You are the bucket. Am I not controlling my diet now?" Hongdou said dissatisfiedly, but still controlled her diet honestly.

In the past, she would have thought it didn't matter. At the end of her life, she would just be a salted fish, eating whatever she wanted. It was totally fine to let herself go.

But once tasted, the free spirit would inevitably lose to technology. Not wanting to lose her competitiveness, she claimed she wouldn't gain weight, but secretly began learning makeup techniques from Xi Ri Hong.

I didn't think too much about it, I just felt comfortable. I wanted to maintain a positive outlook, and I felt better and more engaged when I was there.

As for the relationship between the two, Hongdou is very open-minded.

Thinking about relationships is a burden for her, and working every day is exhausting. Getting involved in other people's lives will only make life worse, while keeping things as they are is more relaxing and enjoyable.

What if I get old? Hongdou just shrugged. I'm already in such a miserable state now. What else can I do when I get old? I'll be even more miserable. Whatever happens next.

She only wants now! A moment of joy in youth is better than the stability of old age.

Ninja is just like that, a profession with no future and no past. The extremely talented ascend to heaven, while the unknown are ignored.

After a long time, the warmth is still there.

Hongdou leaned against the wall and walked out of the house. She drowsily went to the kitchen to get some water to drink and rinse her mouth. Her mind was a little groggy, and the moment she closed the door, she suddenly smiled.

She herself could not have imagined that the yellow-haired man who had quarreled with her in the examination room six years ago had now become her good poker partner and they even got along very well.

The two would talk about boring topics and complain about boring things. Going by the needs was definitely not about the heart, because going by the heart was too complicated, and Hongdou knew she couldn't compete with him.

She has always been so unlucky that she doesn't think she can snatch a man.

"When are we leaving? I'm not sure about that." Naruto was standing at the door and was about to leave Hongdou's house when he suddenly remembered this question.

Hongdou stood barefoot at the entrance, her feet were white and tender, and the ends of her toes were bright blood red.

"Then you told me, I thought you wouldn't be able to stay in the village for much longer, so I went there a few more times. So you were lying to me, damn it!"

"Not really. It depends on Lady Tsunade. I'll probably leave some time after she leaves." Naruto explained with his eyelids twitching.

"From now on I will wander around and return to the village occasionally," he said with a smile.

"Then there won't be much time left?" Hongdou bit her nails, thinking about how to squeeze out more time from the already limited time.

"Hey, that's not right." She suddenly realized, "You left, and you haven't decided on Ino and Hinata yet? You can't just leave like that, right?"

Chapter 375 (Monthly Pass Extra Chapter ) You don’t want to become a rebel ninja in Kumogakure, do you?

Hearing this, Naruto smiled shamelessly.

"The communicator project covers the entire Fire Country. Ino can't stay in the village forever. I said leave the village, not far away."

Hongdou's mouth twitched. This guy is indeed a bit...

"What about Hinata? The Hyuga clan has always lived in seclusion, and Hinata is already old." she asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet." Naruto raised his eyebrows. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he can't say it. The Hyuga clan is a large family clan system.

He now had a vague idea, but he could only ponder it in his mind. Speaking it out would cost him merit. This method was a bit sinister, so he couldn't speak of it.

After leaving Hongdou's house feeling refreshed, Naruto turned around and went back home to start his second plan.

"Why are you back?" Kyuubi drank heavily, looking at Naruto standing in the living room in a daze, and asked drunkenly, "Didn't you go for a run? You're back so soon?"

"You silly dog, it's already the second day!" Naruto was speechless. He went out yesterday and didn't know how much this silly dog ​​had drunk.

During the Root's cleanup, the Nine-Tails helped a lot, and Naruto spent all his money on buying it alcohol. It wasn't until Uzuki Yugao sent him the money that he made up for the shortfall.

"It's the second day? Hiccup..." Kyuubi lay on the sofa and poured another sip of wine into his mouth. "It's the second day, so why are you still here?"

"Aren't you going to look for that...that owner?"

It was drunkenly talking about the owner, who should be Hinata. It had seen Naruto take money and alcohol from Hinata several times, and subconsciously believed that Naruto was being kept.

Naruto was too lazy to explain to a dog, and the misunderstanding continued to this day.

"Look for it in two days."

He casually responded with a few words and went to the bathroom to wash up. After changing into pajamas and drying his hair, he returned to his room and immersed his consciousness in the sealed space.
