The Dust Settles!

Amado once said that Shibai Ōtsutsuki's roar could unleash world-destroying thunder.

Shinki initially thought this was a bit of an exaggeration, until he himself triggered the lightning calamity!!

"Shatter the darkness with thunder!!"

After Shinki let out a loud roar, the sky instantly darkened!

"Whoosh--!"

Dark clouds surged, Raimei rumbled!

Immediately afterwards, a world-destroying lightning calamity descended!!

"Rumble--!"

"Rumble--!"

One after another, beams of blue-purple light descended upon the earth!

In an instant, the earth turned to scorched earth!

Even the Ten-Tails Splitting Bodies were not spared, instantly turning to ashes in the lightning!

A dozen seconds later, the lightning storm stopped, and Shinki gained a new understanding of his own strength.

"If nothing unexpected happens... I'm probably the closest person to God right now. (≖╻≖;)"

After saying that, Shinki prepared to leave.

In that recent lightning disaster, there is absolutely no possibility that anyone could have survived in this Alternate Dimension...

In a secluded corner, Bagu shakily stood up and called out, "Wait, Lord Hokage! Don't leave me here alone!"

Shinki turned his head and looked at Bagu, whose body was charred black and whose clothes were tattered.

"Who are you..."

"I am Bagu, a former member of the Kara's Outer Members. I was recently forced here by Code..." Bagu introduced himself.

"Lord Hokage, I've reformed. Please take me with you, even if it means being Prison, I won't complain! (óò｡)"

After saying that, the old man knelt down in front of the Shinki without any dignity!

How can dignity be more important than life!

Having witnessed Shinki's abilities, Shinki is now considered a true god by Bagu!

"I wanted to ask, how did you manage to survive?" Shinki replied.

"Well, it's all a bit of a coincidence..." Bagu felt lucky to have survived and began to tell his story at length...

He was only halfway through his story when Shinki pulled him away.

Konoha.

The Hokage's Office.

Shinki, seated at the head of his desk, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "Now, all threatening remnants of the Kara have been wiped out."

Tsunade nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Shinki."

"Without you, there would be no Konoha as we know it today."

"Master, what are you saying? I am the Hokage," Shinki said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade suddenly froze.

The fact that her former apprentice, who had once disliked the trouble and didn't want to take on the responsibilities of Hokage, said such a thing made her feel as if she were in a different world.

"I still think that, given Shinki's contributions, we should erect a statue for him in the very center of the village..." said Utatane Koharu.

"Stop bringing up statues, even the Shinki said it doesn't like them," Mitokado Homura retorted. "I think we should record all of the Shinki's deeds from birth to the present in detail, compile them into a book, and publish it on the market so that everyone knows about his heroic deeds."

"Alright, alright, I think you two are getting senile," Tsunade said.

"At seventy or eighty years old, it's time to retire." Shinki nodded.

The two elderly people were taken aback at first, then smiled knowingly, "Indeed."

"It's time for us old folks to let go."

"Today's younger generation is far more outstanding than we were."

And so, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who had Hokage Advisors for most of their lives, decided to retire in half a month.

The meeting then continued.

After discussing the village's general development direction with everyone in the meeting room, Shinki casually propped his legs up on the chair next to him. "Naruto, have you remembered everything? The future of the village is entrusted to you."

Naruto was a little confused when he heard this. "What do you mean? (=°Д°=)"

Shinki: "You are now the Seventh Hokage of Konoha. The village is in dire need of rebuilding, and this is the time for you to make your mark!"

"As for the Hokage Succession Ceremony, let's set it for the day before your wedding! That way, the guests can have two meals in a row!"

Naruto was still a little confused. "But I... you..."

Shinki has only been Hokage for less than two years; how could it be his turn to succeed him?

As for the idea that everything needs to be rebuilt, that's completely untrue.

In the year that Shinki became Hokage, he not only solved the village's long-standing ailments and improved Konoha's technological level, but also made Konoha's military strength unprecedented.

At this point, having someone else succeed him for seven generations is like having a meal prepared, chewed, and fed to you; all you have to do is swallow it...

"Naruto, you should know, I haven't wanted to be Hokage for a long time."

"Now that the Kara has been removed, it's the best time for you to take over."

"Although you are still a bit naive in your dealings with people, Tsunade and Shikamaru will help you."

Shinki spoke earnestly, like an old father arranging his son's future.

"And what about you?" Naruto asked.

"Me? I plan to go to the world where the Ōtsutsuki Ōtsutsuki and subdue them. ╮(╯▽╰)╭" Shinki shrugged.

Sasuke, usually so calm, raised his voice and stood up abruptly from his chair. "What?!"

"No! I absolutely will not allow you to go alone!" Tsunade refused firmly.

"Master Tsunade, don't think I went there for your sake; I went for my own." Shinki said earnestly.

"The true secret of my identity is hidden there."

"Of course, if you want to stop me, there's nothing I can do."

"But none of you can stop me. I'm probably the closest person to God now..."

Seeing that Shinki had made up his mind, everyone in the Office fell silent.

"Don't make that face. I'll definitely come back alive, it just might take a while."

"Besides, I'm not leaving right away. I still have to attend my best friend's wedding," Shinki said, looking at Naruto.

Naruto pouted, "If that's how you put it, then I'll have to postpone the wedding."

"Also, why did you leave right after Naruto's wedding? What about my wedding? →_→" Sasuke felt that Shinki was favoring one over the other and was a little annoyed!

Shinki: "..."

Marriage is a serious matter; it should not be taken lightly.

"Why Sasuke... How about this, your weddings can be on the same day." Shinki came up with a solution that would satisfy both of you.

After a heated discussion, the group decided to hold Naruto Sasuke's weddings together three months later!

"That's it, meeting adjourned!"

In the evening, Shinki arrived at the Villa where Ada lived.

Upon seeing Shinki arrive, Ada said to herself, "Daemon once told me that seeing you gave him a strange feeling."

"Actually, I've had similar feelings, but I've always mistaken it for the flutter of romantic feelings..."

"Until I saw your body reacting with the cells of Shibai Ōtsutsuki..."

"We both have connections with Shibai Ōtsutsuki, which is why I had that inexplicable feeling when I saw you."

"It feels so strange."

"I'm usually the one who 'captures' others, but this time you've 'captured' me."

"And I mistook that for love."
