As they left the Hokage's office, the Konoha Jonin were all wondering what task the Fifth Hokage had assigned to Shisui Uchiha.

But in reality, Shazo was only discussing with Shisui what to eat for dinner tonight.

The upheaval caused by his appointment as Hokage has subsided in Konoha.

All the Ninja who opposed the Fifth Hokage were subdued.

For example, the Sarutobi Clan was dismantled by Asuma Sarutobi himself. Within 30 years, all Ninja who changed their surname to the Sarutobi Clan were stripped of their surname and expelled from the Sarutobi Clan.

The massive Sarutobi Clan, which once boasted over 3,500 Ninja, drastically reduced its size in just a few days, with the entire clan now numbering only 2,180.

The Utatane Clan and the Mitokado Clan were also dismantled, resulting in a population reduction of over 70%.

With the recent series of departmental reforms and the return of the Konoha Sannin, the doubts among Konoha Ninja about the Fifth Hokage have completely disappeared.

Now, they have even ascertained the situation in the Ninja World, clarified the work plan for the next two years, and seen the trends for the next five years.

Just as Shazo summarized at the meeting, he had nothing left to do.

From the beginning of the impeachment of the Third Hokage to Xia Jing's own appointment as the Fifth Hokage, he was always busy, and even his training could only be done in short bursts.

Now that everything is finally over, it's time to have a good meal to celebrate.

Even Liu Bei, after the situation became unstable, could still shout, "Let the music continue! Let the dance continue!"

The Fifth Hokage Shazo Natsume, overcame so many difficult tasks; didn't he deserve a grand meal?

He hasn't even found a few beautiful Ninja to "follow up the dance" yet!

As expected, the grand meal that Shazo had been hoping for took place at the Uchiha Izumi residence.

The number of participants was also very limited. Apart from the Fifth Hokage himself, there were only Uchiha Clan Head Uchiha Izumi, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki (not a fool), Lucky Tenten of the Body Flicker Shisui Technique, Tenten the luckiest person, and the strongest adoptive Miko Heishiro.

Quan's parents prepared a great many delicious foods, including roast suckling pig, whole roast lamb, roast fish, and roast chicken, which were piled up like a small mountain.

Fortunately, among the seven people participating in the feast, Shazo was a glutton, and Izumi, Naruto who had received his training...

Tenten is a big eater.

The four of them opened their stomachs, and the mountain of delicious food visibly disappeared into their mouths, yet their bellies didn't bulge—it was truly the Miracle.

Shisui Uchiha had attended several of Shazo's family banquets, but he was still completely bewildered.

They weren't behaving this exaggeratedly before.

Aunt Miko Heishiro felt even more satisfied watching the food they had prepared being eaten up than if they had eaten it themselves.

A hearty meal lasted until late at night. Shazo returned home with his chest puffed out and belly protruding, only to unexpectedly, yet not entirely unexpectedly, see Tsunade, who had come uninvited.

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

This isn't the first time this woman has done this in the last 15 days.

Tsunade always sneaked into Shazo's house without saying a word, then drank all the bottles of alcohol she brought, getting completely drunk.

Sometimes she wasn't too drunk and could still walk around on her own.

After Shazo returned, she would stand up without saying a word, pick up the last bottle of wine, and stagger away.

Sometimes Tsunade would get completely drunk and pass out, becoming like a soft, smelly lump of dough, leaving Shazo to clean up the mess with a terrible headache.

Today, Tsunade got completely drunk.

She lay sprawled on Shazo Zuo's sofa, muttering incomprehensible whispers, like a rag doll that had been brutally abused.

Shazo took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said dejectedly, "Tsunade, really, don't think I don't know what 'picking up corpses' means, especially since you're practically delivering a corpse to my door."

"Heh, I know. This is the Ninja World, and I'm already the Hokage, the most powerful person in the Ninja World. Konoha can do whatever it wants, and I can too."

"If we just eat you up, you big white sheep, the old man from the Senju Clan will only be happy. The only Ninja in the entire Konoha who will be sad are Jiraiya and Izumi."

"I don't care about Jiraiya, and I'm not incapable of persuading Izumi."

"But your approach of keeping the son and abandoning the father is really annoying, sister!!"

"When older women date younger men, they take the initiative the whole time, unlike you who only take half the initiative and leave the rest to the younger one."

"Your behavior always makes me subconsciously suspect that it's a honey trap, or even a prelude to agreeing to withdraw."

"It's really scary, okay?"

While muttering to himself, Shazo skillfully cleaned up Tsunade's mess.

It's impossible to just jump right in; it's too ambiguous and too complicated.

Shazo manipulated Magnet Style to keep Tsunade suspended in mid-air. First, he used Water Release to cleanse Tsunade body. Then, he switched to Magnet Style to vibrate the water molecules, turning the water into mist to dehydrate her. Finally, he used Fire Style to evaporate the remaining moisture.

Clean up the Golden-Haired white sheep, lift her with magnets, and carry her to the bed in the guest room.

Then, using Magnet Style Barrier was created to seal the room, maintaining absolute silence and darkness, letting Tsunade experience the feeling of being locked in a dark room as punishment.

Shazo was in a bad mood because his body was only 17 years old.

According to the description in "The <Five Spirits Battle True Interpretation>", breaking through the body before the Five Elements Circulation, Kekkei Genkai Ring, and Kekkei Tōta Ring are completed may damage the potential for further improvement in the future.

Shazo's target is Kaguya Otsutsuki; he doesn't want to be stuck at the Sage of Six Paths Level.

He hadn't even consumed the spring he had painstakingly cultivated for this purpose, so how could he let Tsunade against him so suddenly?

After muttering complaints for a long time, Shazo finished washing up, went to bed, and quickly fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, less than a month later, he entered the Plane Dreamscape.

Upon waking from the Plane Dreamscape, Shazo was surprised to find that his Dream Dimension appearance had changed.

He put on the Hokage Hat and wore the Hokage's haori, with the words "Fifth Hokage" written in large letters on the back of the haori.

He truly became the Naruto Shazo, in the literal sense.

After looking around and confirming that no new Shazo had appeared, Star Trek Shazo couldn't help but complain, "No new people are showing up again. How long do we have to wait—hmm?"

Star Trek Shazo belatedly realized the drastic change in Naruto Shazo's appearance. He turned around in surprise, pointing at Naruto Shazo, speechless.

Smiling, Proud Wanderer Shazo also exclaimed in surprise, "Demon Xiazhuo, what's wrong with you?"

In the Dream Dimension, besides the Naruto Shazo Shazo, Demon Xiazhuo's appearance also changed, and the change was even more remarkable.

Although Naruto Shazo has changed a lot, in the end it's just a change of clothes.

Meanwhile, the translucent Heavenly Demon body of Demon Xiazhuo began to shimmer, with golden Inazuma flickering inside and outside his body.

Each time golden Inazuma appeared, the Demon Xiazhuo would involuntarily twitch, and ripples of blur would appear on his body.

The Shazo ' minds kept switching back and forth between Naruto Shazo and Demon Xiazhuo. The Dream Dimension fell into an eerie silence, with only the crackling sound of golden Inazuma remaining.

Star Trek Shazo broke the silence, suggesting, "Let's share our powers and memories first, and then discuss what changes have occurred to the Hokage and the Heavenly Demon."

"Yes, yes, let's share our memories first."

The Shazo placed their hands on the Bronze Long Table, and memories and power began to flow between them.

This time, Naruto Shazo was still the main force behind the outflow of memories and power. In less than a month, he overthrew the Third Hokage, represented the will of the Konoha Ninja by Hiruzen Sarutobi in water, gathered the three legendary Konoha ninjas, coerced the Amegakure Akatsuki in Konoha Sannin, and forced Nagato down and back down.

The exciting, exhilarating, and thoroughly enjoyable actions made Xia Zuo and his Shazo deeply envious.

Marvel Shazo took a deep breath and sincerely congratulated Naruto Shazo, saying, "Congratulations, Lord Hokage, on turning 17."

Naruto Shazo smiled and replied, "Thank you."

The Death God Hokage sighed, "I'm so envious. I've only just become Death God and haven't even chosen a squad yet, and you've already reached the pinnacle of your world."

Smiling, Proud Wanderer Shazo exclaimed in amazement, "Thank you, Naruto Shazo! Your understanding and expansion of the Dugu Nine Swords is truly incredible. It seems I have found my own path to becoming a Celestial."

Naruto Shazo smiled and thanked everyone, "Haha, thank you everyone."

Shazo and his friends congratulated the Naruto Shazo, saying that the Hokage's mastery of all the secrets of Konoha meant that their support would continue to grow rapidly, which was truly a cause for celebration.

Star Trek Shazo bluntly stated, "Naruto Shazo, you are everyone's backbone. The speed at which your strength increases is directly related to everyone's safety and well-being. Please don't slack off, keep up the good work!"

Naruto Shazo laughed, "I know, that's why after I became Hokage, I tried to completely delegate administrative power so that I could be free from tedious government affairs."

"The Seventh Acting Hokage's miserable working life shocked me. He and Hiruzen Sarutobi could enjoy it, but I just can't accept it."

"What's even scarier is that I've read so many NTR Hinata, all with the excuse of taking advantage of the Seventh's busy schedule. I remember them vividly."

"You know, there's always a reason behind a rumor!"

"That's why I swore long ago that I would never follow in the Seventh."

Star Trek Shazo:

Shinigami Xiazhuo:

Smiling, Proud Wanderer Shazo:

Marvel Shazo:

Naruto Shazo mistakenly thought that everyone did not understand the political structure in his memory, so he gave a simple explanation of his readjustment of the power structure of Konoha.

Who knew that Shazo actually had a hidden flaw in him? Pirate Shazo Nine-Leak Fish his head. "The reforms in Konoha feel so familiar. Although I don't understand what's so great about them, they feel like a very reliable design."

Misaka Shazo: "Misaka chuckled and mocked Pirate Shazo: 'You've really turned into a muscle-bound Korea, you've even forgotten all those years of the evening news.'"

Marvel Shazo laughed heartily, "Even a capitalist lackey like me can remember this; it seems he's truly forgotten everything."

To everyone's surprise, Marvel Shazo then remarked, "What an amazing life experience, especially with a black-haired, Red Eye girl and a blonde, blue-eyed mature woman all around you. It's truly enviable."

Naruto Shazo's smile vanished, and he said expressionlessly, "No, there's nothing to envy about that."

You can look but you can't eat, what's there to envy? It's clearly painful!

The Demon Xiazhuo lay on the Bronze Long Table, the golden surface bringing a touch of coolness to his Heavenly Demon body, making him feel much more comfortable.

He now understood why his appearance had changed.

The relentless damage from the golden Inazuma caused the Demon Xiazhuo's mind to become scattered, forcing him to concentrate to the maximum extent possible just to think about a single problem.

But it was this that made Demon Xiazhuo the first to understand the reason for the changes in his own and Naruto Shazo's appearances.

Let's start with the Demon Xiazhuo himself.

He was struck by the Five Spirits Fairy ' Purifying Divine Thunder for a full 20 years. Because the duration was so long, his Heavenly Demon body developed an instinctive memory of it.

This memory, presented in the Plane Dreamscape, autonomously generated the Purifying Divine Thunder.

The most deadly thing is that the Purifying Divine Thunder he generates can actually harm himself.

That's so pitiful.

Even Central City reality, things aren't this bad. He could at least catch his breath when he replaced his spirit stones each year.

As for Naruto Shazo, it's naturally because he ascended to the Hokage Position and did many things in Hokage capacity, changing the face of Konoha.

His actions earned the approval of the Konoha Ninja, but also the Abomination and fear of the Akatsuki Ninja.

Naruto Shazo's self-perception underwent a fundamental change after his own affirmation and feedback from both allies and Ninja, solidifying the identity of Hokage into a part of his self-awareness.

In the Plane Dreamscape, Shazo's image is all derived from his self-awareness.

A change in self-perception will naturally be reflected in Dream Dimension, altering one's original image.

The Demon Xiazhuo understood everything. After tapping on the Bronze Long Table to remind everyone, he said dejectedly, "I know the reason for the change in appearance."

After he finished recounting his discovery, all of Shazo felt enlightened.

At the same time, everyone also expressed deep sympathy for the tragic fate of the Demon Xiazhuo. If it were any of them, they would have ended their own lives long ago if they could die.

After carefully comforting the Demon Xiazhuo, the Shazo began to discuss the problems they were facing, and the atmosphere of the Plane Dreamscape gradually became formal.

Sharing memories only allows you to share past experiences and certain decisions; it doesn't allow you to share emotions.

Shazo's visions of their respective futures are usually mixed with a lot of emotions and expectations. Even if they are shared, they Shattering and invalid memories, without any value.

Therefore, some issues that require looking to the future still need to be resolved through discussion.

Despite his poor condition, Demon Xiazhuo forced a smile and said, "As everyone can see, I'm not feeling well. I'll speak now while my mind is clear, so I don't get confused and can't explain myself later."

"I only have one problem now, and that is that I still have to be whipped by my fairy with the Purifying Divine Thunder."

"Ha ha."

"24 hours a day, continuously, 120 lightning strikes per minute, for 20 years, and it's going to continue for another 16 years----"

"I've already been Purifying Divine Thunder of Cleansing."

Perhaps it was these words that triggered Demon Xiazhuo's instinctive fear, and the golden, Purifying Divine Thunder suddenly erupted.
