As his indifferent words gently fell,
"Shhh..."
Sosuke gave a slight wave of his hand, and the Kyokkō before him slowly faded away.
On the constantly trembling battlefield, his figure gradually appeared before everyone.
He was still tall and straight, clad in a white haori, with Kyoka Suigetsu at his waist.
But unlike before, the black glasses he had worn for so long were gone, revealing a pair of deep, tranquil eyes.
His brown bangs were swept back, exposing his sharply defined features and giving him a slightly defiant air.
The Konoha Ninja present stared blankly at Sosuke, who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Th-that's Captain Sosuke, right...?"
"Probably... Though it looks like he took off his glasses, and... changed his hairstyle, too. His whole presence is completely different from before..."
"He looks... so... so handsome..."
A kunoichi stared blankly at Sosuke, murmuring under her breath.
The other Konoha Ninja heard her and turned to look at Sosuke, their faces lighting up with delight.
"It's Captain Sosuke!!"
"Captain Sosuke made it here! That's wonderful!"
The ninja murmured excitedly.
Just then, one of the Konoha Ninja looked at the others, a smug expression on his face as he chuckled.
"Haven't you heard the news yet?"
His words left the others confused. They asked,
"News? What news? Jingzuo, do you know something!?"
Seeing their reaction, Jingzuo was quite pleased.
He had already learned from his older brother that Sosuke had been appointed Fourth Hokage. Now, he looked at everyone smugly and said,
"I've got the confirmation. Captain Sosuke has already been appointed Fourth Hokage!"
Everyone was stunned by his words, including the Rock Ninja fighting the Konoha Ninja nearby. The news came as a tremendous shock.
"Is that true? So... Captain Sosuke is already the Fourth Hokage...?"
A Konoha Ninja murmured
