Kazekage Hayashi, Phantom Body Flicker Technique
Chiyo Chiyo's eyes were already narrowed to slits, not because she was in a bad mood, but because she was in an exceptionally good mood.
Hearing the families present unanimously support her son's succession Fourth Kazekage, she was overjoyed. If he hadn't been too young and lacked strength before, the position of Third Kazekage should have belonged to their lineage.
However, it's not too late now. Lin is in his prime, in his thirties, at the peak of his strength. Moreover, what sets Lin apart from the Third Generation Wind and Rasa is his composure.
Now that the war is over, it is indeed an excellent choice for him to take power. Although a few people in the room looked pale and mentioned their opposition, their voices were quickly drowned out by the crowd's cheers.
Why were they so pale, and why were they so vocal in their opposition? It was because they were the families who had previously supported Rasa.
Chiyo originally planned to become the acting Kazekage, develop the economy, and increase the population, but what happened? Rasa ascended to the throne again and squandered all her wealth.
Those families also placed considerable bets, including their own descendants and the resources and money they had accumulated over the years, all of which were reduced to ashes, becoming nothing more than the remnants of the past.
This is a scene they didn't want to see, didn't want to accept, but had no choice but to accept!
Their best option now is to pledge allegiance to the new Kazekage, even if it means another major financial loss for their clan, but this person cannot be Chiyo or have any connection to Chiyo.
Chiyo knew perfectly well that they were the ones who had helped Rasa restore the Chiyo, and that if Chiyo's lineage came to power, they would surely be purged.
But now it seems that compared to the current public opinion, they are nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Some understood, some regretted, some felt helpless, and in the end, they could only accept this outcome.
That's how it is when you choose sides; you either soar to great heights or plummet to the bottom. The transition between old and new powerful families often happens in the blink of an eye.
One thought can Icha Icha Paradise, another to hell; this is the reason why.
Because of Hayashi's high popularity and Chiyo's support, he was invited onto the stage.
Chiyo looked at him with gentle and kind eyes, and he looked at everyone with a firm expression.
The world is full of diverse expressions; some people's eyes hold admiration, some confusion, some doubt, and some anger.
Unaffected by their expressions, Lin said, "Although I am not talented, at this time of war's end, I am willing to do my utmost to revive, revitalize, and rebuild our common home!"
After he finished speaking, he clenched his right hand in front of his chest, and then everyone present applauded.
Lin's eyes lit up, and a sense of confidence quietly rose from the bottom of his heart. "I promise that in my lifetime, I will make Sunagakure rise from the ashes and become strong again!"
These words were met with even louder applause from the audience.
Chiyo nodded with a smile. "Therefore, I hereby announce that the Fourth Kazekage Sunagakure been chosen: it is Rin!"
Then someone brought over the Kazekage hat, which Chiyo put on him.
Chiyo touched the Kazekage hat, thinking of her former husband. Now she was about to put the hat on her son's head. How ironic was fate!
Chiyo picked up the straw hat with both hands and walked up to Hayashi. Hayashi bent down and lowered his head, and Chiyo placed the straw hat on his head.
Then he said, "From now on, you must be selfless and dedicated, burning yourself out for Sunagakure until your last second."
"Your son understands, Mother!" After Lin finished speaking, Chiyo stood up with a smile.
Lin, wearing Kazekage hat, sat in the spot where Chiyo had previously sat.
The crowd was chanting the name of the Fourth Kazekage Rin. The reason it was called the Fourth Hokage instead of the Fifth was because Rasa's legitimacy was not recognized by the crowd.
He obtained the position of Fourth Kazekage through violence and highly inflammatory speeches. He did not hold meetings or notify anyone; those who disobeyed him faced certain death.
Now that he has abandoned his people, the villagers of Sunagakure will not accept this Kazekage either!
Therefore, the Fourth Kazekage is Lin's title!
Now that the position of Kazekage has been decided, the next step is to implement specific policies. Lin Songdu, Chiyo, and Ebizo are responsible for supplementing the discussion. This meeting lasted from morning until night.
Konoha's Seventh Training Ground
Uchiha Kō watched Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi sparring on the field and nodded from time to time. Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was becoming more and more proficient, and he could even occasionally combine it with the Clone Technique.
As expected, Uchiha Itachi was defeated in the end, Uchiha Kō then appeared on the field.
He first praised Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Shisui smiled shyly, then comforted Itachi, telling him not to worry about temporary success or failure, to which Itachi nodded.
Uchiha Kō looked at Uchiha Shisui again. "Uchiha Shisui, I just saw you combine the Body Flicker Technique and the Clone Technique. Is this your idea? Very good."
Uchiha Kō knew this was the Phantom Body Flicker Technique. According to the system's explanation, this technique involves forming hand Hand Seals and using the Sharingan to create multiple phantoms. These phantoms will attack the enemy together with Uchiha Shisui's main body, and Uchiha Shisui's phantoms will not disappear after being attacked.
This was also the key to Uchiha Shisui's future mastery of the Body Flicker Shisui. Unfortunately, Uchiha Kō acted too quickly, ending the war that would have taken two years in less than a month, which prevented Uchiha Shisui from making a name for himself on the battlefield.
Uchiha Shisui nodded. "Yes, Lord Hokage! I'm quite interested in using clones in combat, and I'm also quite proficient in the Body Flicker Technique."
"Therefore, I was wondering if combining the Clone Technique and the Body Flicker Technique might produce unexpected results."
"I felt the pressure during my fight with Itachi, so this was my first time trying this Ninjutsu, and I didn't expect it to work so well." Uchiha Shisui smiled.
Uchiha Itachi's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Fine, fine, so I've become the Little White, huh? But to be fair, Uchiha Shisui's move was pretty powerful!"
The clones can coordinate their attacks and combine the characteristics of the Body Flicker Technique. Moreover, each clone can continue to fight even after being attacked, making it difficult to distinguish which one is real and which one is fake.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Uchiha Shisui, does this technique have a name?" he asked with a smile.
"A name? Not yet, since this is my first time using it and I haven't studied it carefully yet." At this point, Uchiha Shisui's eyes lit up. "Lord Hokage, why don't you name this technique?"
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. He hadn't expected Uchiha Shisui to ask him to name his technique! This was a big deal. If this Ninjutsu were to be passed down in the future, the fact that Hokage Uchiha Kō had bestowed the name upon it would definitely be recorded.
"Are you sure? After all, you're the creator of this technique. Wouldn't it be a waste of your talent to have me name it?" Uchiha Kō asked seriously.
Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "I have no way to repay the Lord Hokage's kindness, but it is merely a naming right. Please do not refuse, Lord Hokage!"
Did Uchiha Shisui not understand the importance of naming rights? He did, but what did it matter compared to the favor Uchiha Kō?
Furthermore, Uchiha Kō is now the Hokage of Konoha, and being given a name by the Hokage —what an honor that is!
Seeing Uchiha Kō's serious expression, Uchiha Shisui nodded. "Swift as lightning, striking first; like a phantom, unpredictable and confusing. How about... we call it the Phantom Body Flicker Technique!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Kō's words, Uchiha Shisui's eyes lit up. Phantom Body Flicker Technique! A strange thrill stirred within him! A good name, truly a good name!
Uchiha Itachi looked at his grandmaster with admiration. "So amazing, so cultured! No wonder he's the village's number one pyramid scheme master!"
The term Uchiha Kō, and then spread from a meeting to various households, then to the whole village, and then to the whole country.
Uchiha Kō didn't know these things, but even if he did, he wouldn't say anything, since it was about enlightening the people.
Moreover, the Hokage world is constantly at war, so every ordinary person there is extremely intelligent.
"Thank you so much, Lord Hokage, for bestowing this name upon me! The name 'Phantom Body Flicker Technique' is absolutely brilliant!" Uchiha Shisui cheered, his face beaming with excitement.
"Hehe, Uchiha Shisui's technique needs to be perfected. Currently, it's probably only a B-rank Ninjutsu, but I believe that with your improvements, it might even become an A-rank or S-rank Ninjutsu in the future!" Uchiha Kō started to paint an Uchiha Shisui!
Uchiha Shisui was overjoyed upon hearing this. If he created an S-rank Ninjutsu, then his family's rank would be redefined with a new page.
"Yes, yes! Lord Hokage! I will!" Uchiha Shisui seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, his whole body brimming with energy!
Uchiha Kō laughed. In a sense, Uchiha Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique and Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God were both like bugs on the battlefield.
While the Phantom Body Flicker Technique may be slightly inferior in rank to the Flying Thunder God Phantom Body Flicker Technique, it is a move with very low difficulty and comparable strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to earn the titles of "Body Flicker Shisui" and "Yellow Flash"!
"Alright, that concludes today's training. I'll treat you two little guys to dinner. Let's go! Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant!" Uchiha Kō laughed.
"Yay~" A bright smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face. Although he didn't particularly like eating barbecue, every time he went there, Uncle Choza would always make him some ice-cold, sweet juice!
They even told him that it was specially developed for him, and that there would be a new variety every time! This made Uchiha Itachi take a liking to Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant.
Uchiha Shisui smiled and thought the barbecue tasted great and was perfect for replenishing energy after training!
Uchiha Kō, carrying one in each hand, used Flying Thunder God to reach the alley near Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant.
After all, suddenly appearing on the street is a bit abrupt, and it wouldn't be good if it startled someone!
After the three landed, Uchiha Itachi was a little dizzy, but Uchiha Shisui, as if he had gained some new insights.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Kō pulled the two little ones out of the alley and headed towards Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant.
