Final Preparations Before Space Travel

Hinata had attended Tsunade's inauguration ceremony as the Fifth Hokage.

The ceremony had been grand, with more than half of Konoha attending.

Yet at the same time, it had been simple. Tsunade had said only one sentence throughout the entire ceremony, then accepted the hat representing the Hokage Position from the advisor, and the ceremony was over.

Hinata had originally wanted to keep her own coronation simple as well. After all, it was merely a formality, and she did not particularly care about it.

However, a king was different from a Hokage. Even if Hinata wanted to keep things simple, others would never agree.

The meaning of a coronation was to announce it to the world and establish Hinata's legitimate status. Only when Hinata sat firmly and rightfully upon her throne could this nation truly be considered established.

Titles seemed useless, but in reality, they carried tremendous significance.

Take the simplest example.

"Team leader" and "team member."

The moment people saw those two terms, their first impression would be that the team leader managed the members, while the members had to follow the team leader's arrangements.

That was the significance of a title!

People used different words to represent different meanings, but those meanings had to gain widespread recognition before the words could serve their purpose.

Hinata's position as Empress was no different.

The word "Empress" was defined as someone who could govern all under heaven, but that meaning had to be proclaimed to the world through a grand ceremony. Everyone had to be informed that the "Daimyo" had henceforth been replaced by the "Empress."

In short, Hinata was exhausted!

Fortunately, everyone understood Hinata's personality. Specialists were handling every aspect of the ceremony, and Hinata merely had to go through the motions.

Otherwise, Hinata would have quit on the spot!
