While Naruto and Tsunade Jiraiya were talking, Konoha 12 stood in the crowd and their eyes fell on Naruto.
When they saw Naruto's black hair and dark brown pupils, they were all stunned.
Hinata stood in the crowd, folding his hands in front of him, looking at Naruto without blinking.
"Naruto-kun's hair turned black!"
Hinata recited silently in her mind, she felt that black was also very suitable for Naruto-kun, and then realized that she was staring at Naruto-kun in front of so many people, her face suddenly turned red to the roots of her ears, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Naruto This guy has actually become so strong and handsome. Damn it, wouldn't this mean I have more opponents!"
Ya lifted Akamaru off his head and held him in his arms, mumbling something.
"Wow..."
Akamaru shouted in agreement.
"Ya, you Chunin Ninja Exams will no longer be Naruto's opponent."
Shino pushed up his sunglasses.
Chōji raised his head from the bag of potato chips. "Naruto is so awesome. He beat Eight-Tails Jinchuriki down by himself."
Ino held his face with both hands, and his whole body had completely entered a state of nymphomaniacs.
"Wow...Naruto is so handsome with black hair!"
"More attractive than when I had blonde hair!"
"If I had known he would become so handsome, I should have been nicer to him when I was a kid. No, I can't be nice to him now!"
As he said this, Ino was about to push forward, but Sakura grabbed him by the collar.
"Ino, if you rush forward now, you will cause trouble to Naruto."
Sakura looked at Naruto who was surrounded by villagers.
There was no jealousy or loss in his eyes, only a kind of happiness from the heart.
Naruto has become so strong now, Sasuke-kun and Orochimaru must also be working hard to become stronger.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands covered with small wounds. She was studying Medical Ninjutsu from teacher Tsunade these days, and the skin on her fingers had been repeatedly worn and healed by Chakra.
She also had to work harder and not be left behind by the two of them all the time.
Karin poked his head out from the gap in the crowd, stared at Naruto's black hair and new cold temperament, and opened his mouth slightly.
"What? We haven't seen each other for a day or two, and Naruto has turned into this look!"
"Damn it, it's all my fault that I've been too busy these days and didn't go find him!"
Karin complained with his eyes full of pride.
Rock Lee's eyes looked at Naruto with burning flames.
"Neji, Tenten, look at Naruto-kun!"
"This is the most perfect posture of youth!"
Neji stood next to Rock Lee, looking through the crowd at Naruto who was surrounded by everyone. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Tenten saw through Neji's expression and didn't say anything. He just lightly touched Neji's arm with his elbow.
Soon, Naruto followed Tsunade and Jiraiya towards Hokage Building amid the cheers of everyone.
The onlookers automatically moved out of the way, and Naruto followed Tsunade into Hokage Building with a smile.
Hokage Office.
Tsunade sat down behind the desk and praised Naruto without even taking a sip of the tea:
"Well done, Naruto!"
"In this confrontation with Hidden Cloud Village, every decision you made from the beginning to the end was based on their pain points."
"The final showdown with Eight-Tails directly wiped out Hidden Cloud Village's last chance."
Naruto shook his head and said calmly, "This is what Hokage Direct Jōnin should do."
"But Tsunade, mother-in-law, is there anything else urgent?"
"There's nothing important. I'll go back first."
"It's nothing urgent."
"It's just that you have made such a great contribution to Konoha. I originally wanted to hold a celebration banquet for you. After all, you are now Konoha's signature. Eight-Tails Jinchuriki defeated Complete Tailed Beast Transformation head-on. This kind of record in the entire Shinobi World is enough to make other ninja villages re-evaluate Konoha's combat power."
"But judging from your expression, you probably have no interest anymore."
Tsunade leaned on the back of the chair and glanced across Naruto's calm face.
"Forget it about the celebration party."
"But if Tsunade mother-in-law insists that I be present, I can assign a Shadow Clone Technique representative to attend."
"Okay!"
Tsunade didn't hesitate after hearing this. "But you will be the one to take over from Hokage in the future. Sooner or later you will have to get used to this kind of situation."
"Hokage It's not just enough to be strong on the battlefield, but also to deal with the people in the village and make the villagers trust you and be willing to follow you."
"On the surface, the celebration party is about eating and drinking, but it is actually about giving the villagers a chance to see up close what kind of person you are."
Naruto nodded, said hello to Jiraiya next to him, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Naruto, wait."
Just then Tsunade called Naruto.
Tsunade took out three Sealing Scroll from the drawer, got up and walked around the desk and handed them to Naruto:
"This is your reward for this mission, and what you want!"
Naruto took the three scrolls, nodded to Tsunade and Jiraiya, pushed the door open and walked out of Hokage Office.
After Naruto left, Jiraiya leaned against the window, looked at the darkening sky outside the window and sighed, "I really envy you Hokage."
"With the nuclear bomb Naruto here, I can do anything freely without any worries."
"I think back when the old man was Hokage, he was very busy just dealing with Danzo and two consultants. He also had to carefully balance the external affairs with the major countries."
"Probably only First among all the Hokages in history has had this kind of confidence."
Tsunade heard this and glanced at Jiraiya: "How about you do this Hokage?"
"I will now abdicate in favor of others."
Jiraiya immediately shook his head after hearing this and put his hands in front of his chest. "No, Hokage this position is not suitable for me at all."
"I don't want Tenten to be buried in a pile of official documents in the office, and I can't even spare the time to collect information."
Tsunade rolled his eyes at Jiraiya, then looked away, with a hint of emotion in his tone:
"Although it doesn't sound good, with the nuclear bomb Naruto here, it's really great to do Hokage."
"But I just don't know when this guy will be willing to take over Hokage Position."
"With his current strength and newly accumulated reputation, if he is willing, I can take off Hokage Cloak and put it on him on the spot."
Jiraiya crossed his arms and said, "Don't worry, since Naruto said he wanted to be Hokage, then he will definitely do it."
"I guess this guy is still focusing on improving his strength now, and doesn't want to be constrained by too much time and energy by the position of Hokage."
"After all, once you sit on this chair, just approving documents and attending meetings can take up most of your cultivation time every day."
"His current age is when his strength is growing explosively. I wouldn't want to be tied up in an office."
Tsunade nodded.
There are indeed too many things to worry about after becoming Hokage. Naruto's cultivation path is far from the end.
Anyway, the stronger Naruto is, the more at ease she will feel. Hokage's position cannot be lost here.
Then Tsunade changed the subject. "By the way, when do you plan to teach Naruto Sage Mode?"
"This little guy has been looking forward to this power for a long time."
Jiraiya touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face. "I was supposed to teach during this period, but it was delayed by Cloud Shinobi."
"Speaking of which, do you have any tasks for Naruto next?"
"If not, I will take him to Mount Myoboku."
