Walk to the edge of the island and lock your mind on Flying Raijin Mark in the bathroom of Konoha Apartment.
"Whoosh!"
Flying Raijin Technique started, and the next second Naruto appeared in the bathroom of the apartment.
The voice of Karin in the kitchen came from outside the bathroom.
Naruto gently pushed open the bathroom door and exchanged a look with Shadow Clone Technique in the living room. Shadow Clone Technique nodded towards him and then disappeared silently into a ball of white smoke.
Today is the day that Tsunade takes office as Fifth Hokage.
Early in the morning, Naruto put on a clean black jumpsuit and a white windbreaker, and then went out with Karin.
Karin specially put on the light-colored casual clothes she bought today. She followed Naruto all the way and curiously looked at every scene on Konoha's street. She wanted to ask a few questions about everything she encountered.
By the time the two of them walked to Hokage Building, the whole square was already crowded with people.
Villagers from Konoha came from all directions and surrounded the square in front of Hokage Building.
All eyes are focused on the top balcony of Hokage Building.
That's where the new Hokage issued his inauguration declaration to the whole village during the inauguration ceremony.
Konoha All working Jōnin, the patriarchs of major families, and Konoha 12 were present.
Kakashi and Sasuke have also been discharged from the hospital. Kakashi stood on the edge of Jōnin's team with a lazy posture. He glanced at Naruto's figure and bent slightly.
Sasuke stood in the crowd with his hands in his pockets and his face expressionless, but when he saw Naruto arriving, the corners of his mouth slightly lowered.
The arrival of Naruto has attracted the attention of many people.
Sakura stood in the crowd and saw Naruto and the red-haired girl following him from a distance.
She couldn't help but remember that Ino had told her that Naruto was living with a red-haired girl.
She originally thought that Ino was adding fuel to the fire, but now that she saw the Red-Hair girl following Naruto with her own eyes, she realized that what Ino said was actually true.
Before Sakura had time to digest this information, several Xiaoqiang nearby also noticed Karin next to Naruto.
Shikamaru took his hands out of his pockets, glanced behind Naruto, and then said to Chōji next to him, "This guy Naruto not only brought back a Hokage when he went out this time, but also brought back a girlfriend?"
"My girlfriend is so troublesome."
Hearing this, Chōji glanced at Naruto and Karin, chewing potato chips, and replied vaguely, "That red-haired girl belongs to Uzumaki clan, right? The amount of Chakra should be as much as Naruto!"
"Is she also good at eating?"
"You boys know how to pay attention to these things. The key point is what is the relationship between that girl and Naruto!"
Ino looked over from the side, his eyes quickly scanning between Karin and Naruto.
Hinata stood in the crowd, his eyes paused on Naruto, and then fell on Karin next to Naruto.
Karin turned his head to talk to Naruto, and Naruto lowered his head slightly to listen.
Hinata watched this scene in silence for a few seconds, then lowered his head and looked at the toes of his shoes.
When Ya stood next to her and saw this scene, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just rubbed Akamaru's head with his hands.
Naruto didn't think that much.
He led Karin through the crowd, walked towards Shikamaru and the others, raised Teuchi and said hello, "Everyone is here."
"Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, you guys didn't even tell me in advance when you were discharged from the hospital."
"Well, I just completed the discharge procedures this morning."
"The sequelae of the illusion haven't been completely eliminated, but the amount of activity to watch Hokage's inauguration ceremony is still enough."
"Naruto, I heard from Lord Jiraiya that you did a lot of work on the way to find Lady Tsunade this time!"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes and had a lazy tone, but there was a trace of scrutiny and recognition in his eyes when he looked at Naruto.
"It's okay. It's mainly due to Pervy Sage. I just went with him." Naruto replied.
Sasuke did not participate in this topic throughout the whole process.
He just looked at Naruto, repeatedly replaying in his mind what Itachi said to him before leaving Konoha.
Then he found that Naruto was also looking at him, and their eyes met in the air.
Naruto nodded towards Sasuke. Sasuke paused and nodded slightly in response.
He remembered what Uchiha Estate Naruto said to him. Some words did not need to be said in front of so many people.
At this moment, the door to the top balcony of Hokage Building was pushed open.
Tsunade walked out, Jiraiya followed her.
At this time, Tsunade's expression became a little more majestic. When she lowered her head and saw the Konoha citizens in the square who looked up at her with expectant eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
"From today on, I will officially take office as Hidden Leaf Village Fifth Hokage."
"I don't like to say things that are too complicated."
"Just one sentence, I will protect this village."
Tsunade's voice clearly spread throughout the square.
The sun shines on her Hokage Cloak, and the red Will of Fire coat of arms shines brightly under everyone's gaze.
"Long live Lady Tsunade!"
"Long live Lord Hokage!"
In an instant, the entire Konoha burst into deafening cheers.
Some people in the crowd shouted, some threw their hats into the sky, and some Gohan was riding on his father's shoulders and waving the little Konoha fan desperately.
The cheers spread from the square to the streets, and from the streets to every corner of the village.
All those who lost their loved ones in the war, and all those who had been silently rebuilding their homes after the death of Third Hokage, found at this moment a reason to feel at ease again.
Konoha, finally Hokage.
Just after the news that Tsunade officially took over as Konoha Fifth Hokage spread throughout the major countries, those nobles and big names who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude when Konoha lost Hokage began to assign tasks to Konoha again.
The daimyo of Fire Country personally sent an envoy to deliver congratulatory gifts and a new mission letter, and several other small countries that maintained alliances with Konoha also followed suit.
Konoha's mission system was fully restored the day after Tsunade took office. A large number of commissions that had been backlogged due to Third Hokage's death in battle were quickly distributed to various ninja teams.
While Konoha was prospering, at the other end of Shinobi World, in a dark cave that saw no sunlight, the huge body of the Ten-Tails statue stood silently in the center of the cave.
The statue's nine eyes are tightly closed, its hands are stretched upward, and its ten thick fingers are spread like withered tree trunks.
There is a blurry shadow standing on each finger. These shadows are all projections projected remotely through Demonic Illusion: Mirage. The main body may be thousands of miles away.
"This is the first time we have all gathered together since Orochimaru defected."
"Oh~ there are new people joining."
A deep voice sounded from one of the fingers.
"That traitor Orochimaru, I heard that his hands were crippled by Third Hokage using Reaper Death Seal in Konoha. He is now a cripple."
"It's really ridiculous that one of the former Sannin has ended up in this situation."
Another voice answered, with undisguised sarcasm in his tone.
"Okay, let's talk about Orochimaru later."
"Itachi, did Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's capture mission fail?"
Deva Path Pain stood on the finger in the center, Rinnegan glowed with a cold purple halo in the dark cave.
Itachi Uchiha slowly opened Sharingan.
Although the ghost image projected by Demonic Illusion: Mirage is blurry, Mangekyō Sharingan is clearly visible.
