The God of War Kō Oversleeps, and the Whole Village Knows
Uchiha Kō followed the Anbu towards the clan's Earth Flow. The journey was peaceful and uneventful, and nothing happened.
Uchiha Kō took out two 500-tael silver notes and handed them to the two men. The two men quickly waved their hands, saying that it was what they should do and they couldn't take them.
Uchiha Kō stated that the money was a thank you to the two for personally escorting him home, and that they deserved it without needing to overthink it.
The two Anbu exchanged a glance before accepting the money and thanking Uchiha Kō. Five hundred taels wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either; it was enough for the two of them to have two big meals.
Uchiha Kō smiled, waved to the two ninjas, and returned to his home.
I'm so tired today. I went back to the village to see the elders with Tsunade. Lady Mito is still in good health. In fact, because of the Uzumaki Clan's addition, she has started to age in reverse and is getting younger and younger!
She fully supports Tsunade and Uchiha Kō becoming a couple, and even jokingly tells Tsunade, "Tsunade, if Uchiha hadn't been a man back then, Grandma might have had her husband stolen by Uchiha!"
This left Uchiha Kō speechless, only managing a few laughs. After having a meal there, he prepared to go home, only to unexpectedly encounter a cheap, albeit unkind, grandfather.
He was almost ambushed afterwards. Right, ambushed! Thinking of this, Uchiha Kō played the recording in his mind.
Black Zetsu was hiding underground, listening to the conversation between Uchiha Kō and Uchiha Madara. When he heard Uchiha Kō say that the inscription on the monument might have been altered, he trembled.
The slightest movement of Chakra throughout his body was imperceptible unless one paid close attention! However, from the system's God-like perspective Uchiha Kō could see it clearly.
Then Uchiha left. As Uchiha Kō turned his head, a black hand flew out from the ground, wrapped around his heart, and struck with deadly intent.
Then, the golden-red Susanoo it, and everyone knows what happened next.
After reading it, Uchiha Kō broke out in a cold sweat. This Black Zetsu was truly terrifying; his first move was a killing blow. When he activated Susanoo, he could sense the power of that attack!
That's Kage Level damage! If I'm not careful, I could really get killed! I guess I need to think of a way.
Just then, ding! Congratulations, host, for altering the death of Nawaki. Reward: Perception-type skill, Soul Perception Technique.
Soul Perception Technique, a passive skill, allows the user to sense the environment within a ten-kilometer radius of the host. Any living beings present can be displayed in the host's mind as if by radar.
Uchiha Kō laughed. "Not bad, not bad, this is good. By the way, does the system know what I'm thinking? Why is the reward given so promptly?"
The system did not respond, but Uchiha Kō vaguely heard a cold snort.
Uchiha Kō closed his eyes, preparing to sleep. He was so tired, he really needed a good night's rest!
The next day
"Lord Owl, Lord Owl! Wake up! Hey! The Lord Hokage wants us to have a meeting! Lord Owl!" Uchiha Hirotomo, covered in sweat, knocked on the door.
It's almost 7:40! There are still 20 minutes until we're supposed to be there at 8:00, if I don't get up soon I'll be late!
Uchiha Kō frowned, picked up his water glass from beside him, and threw it at the door. The window was made of paper, and the glass broke through the paper before flying out and heading straight for Uchiha Hirotomo.
Uchiha Hirotomo's face darkened, and he threw a punch, shattering the water glass. He had reached his limit, so he gathered Chakra in his mouth.
"Get up~~~~" Uchiha Hirotomo was so angry that he didn't control his volume, and half the village could hear his voice. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they burst into laughter. They knew that Uchiha Kō was still asleep.
Inside the Hokage Building, the heads of various clans were all trying hard to suppress their laughter, and even the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, couldn't help but lower his head, his shoulders trembling.
Only Tsunade blushed. If it were something good, it would be fine, but how could she have made everyone know about her sleeping so soundly? Sigh.
Uchiha Kō was now fully awake. He didn't use Chakra; he just let out a loud "Ah!!!!!!!" Wow, that was quite a sound!
The people in the Hokage Office heard it again! This time they couldn't hold back anymore. Shimura Danzō started laughing, and once one person laughed, everyone else followed suit.
The serious atmosphere in the room vanished, replaced by a joyful one.
Orochimaru murmured, "Sigh, Tsunade, why don't you go call your future husband?"
Tsunade's face turned even redder. She gave Orochimaru a cold look and said, "Shut up!"
Soon after, Uchiha Hirotomo brought Uchiha Kō to the main gate.
Uchiha Hirotomo glanced at the clock; thankfully, it was 7:59. He then knocked on the door, which was quickly opened. Everyone looked at Uchiha Hirotomo and Uchiha Kō with strange expressions.
Uchiha Hirotomo's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head in silence. Uchiha Kō, however, yawned and said, "Good morning, Lord Hokage -Danzo! Good morning, Danzo-sama! Ah, Hyuga clan head, you too!"
The group smiled and nodded at him, saying "Good morning." After Uchiha Kō and Uchiha Hirotomo took their seats, Sarutobi Hiruzen his throat and said, "Ahem, this is a post-battle debriefing, or you could say a reward ceremony!"
Hearing this, everyone finally snapped out of Uchiha Kō's daze and got back on track.
"Commander-in-Chief Shimura Danzō, with his excellent strategic planning and powerful strength, has repeatedly defeated the Third Kazekage's forces. Therefore, I hereby announce that Shimura Danzō will be the Chief Hokage Assistant." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was loud and clear, with a smile on his face.
"Who supports, who opposes!" Sarutobi Hiruzen scanned the crowd, Uchiha Kō immediately raised his hand. "Lord Hokage, I support you! The entire Uchiha Clan supports you!"
After saying that, he raised Uchiha Hirotomo's hand. Uchiha Hirotomo covered his face, wishing he had never met Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō, on the other hand, didn't care. "I'm not the clan leader, I don't care about losing face!"
Seeing this, Tsunade sighed and also chose to support them. Then came Nara Rokumei, Torifu Akimichi, Yamanaka Unkai, and then Aburame Shikuroo and Hyuga Akagi.
Since the major clans had already expressed their opinions, the smaller ninja clans naturally understood the rules. Thus, Shimura Danzō's title as the Chief Hokage Assistant was unanimously approved and given the green light.
Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Alright, since everyone agrees, I hereby announce that Shimura Danzō the Chief Hokage Assistant to the Konoha! From now on, he will assist the Hokage in managing Konoha Ninja Village!"
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen speaking, applause erupted from below.
Shimura Danzō Sarutobi Hiruzen and bowed to the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled gently and gave him a wink. Shimura Danzō understood, then bowed again to the crowd and said...
"Thank you for your kindness. I look forward to your guidance in the future." After he finished speaking, there was another round of applause.
Shimura Danzō smiled and nodded to Uchiha Kō smiled back. The two seemed to have a deep bond!
