August 15th, Konoha.
The whole Konoha is a lively scene.
"Work harder! Your potential is much more than that! Race against time to release Chakra like me, like this!"
Hashirama Senju laughed at the person in front of him, then clapped his hands, "Wood Release·House-Building Jutsu!"
"Gaba Gaba"
Countless thick tree roots sprouted from the ground, and rows of wooden houses grew out of the ground in the blink of an eye.
"First Hokage, I... I really have nothing left..."
Tenzo (Yamato) on the side looked like a dish, and Hand Seals's hands were trembling.
He only blames himself for showing off and saying that he wants to be with First Hokage.
As a result, now there is not enough Chakra to grow a house...
Yamato feels that he has reached his limit. If he still squeezes it out of his body at this time, it will not be Chakra, but blood.
"Hey, you don't have many Chakras, so you have to study how to use them. It's hard to find a junior who knows how to Wood Releases. I have to teach you well!"
Hashirama is very excited. His family knows about his family affairs. I didn't even confiscate Disciple back then. Isn't it because there is no descendant who can pass on his Wood Release?
As for the other Ninjutsu, Hashirama is still very self-aware, and Tobirama teaches much better than himself.
At this time, Konoha Ninja led the way and followed Land of Waves Craftsmen who came from afar. They were all dumbfounded. Oh dear, it turns out that this is how houses are built in a big village like Konoha?
Two Ninja clapped their hands and the house grew out of the ground?
"No wonder I'm poor. I can't compare with the craftsmanship of others in a big country."
"Yes, yes! I have gained a lot of experience, it is a worthwhile trip!"
Then Tazuna, the team leader, quickly reported to Craftsmen from Konoha, and at the same time said hello, "I'm sorry, people from a small place have never seen such a scene, I made you laugh."
"Hahaha! It's okay, it's okay. This is the first time that we locals have seen such a scene!"
Konoha Craftsmen seems very enthusiastic.
"Eh?"
"Very good! Everyone, work harder. We have to finish work before noon today, and we have to attend Fifth Hokage's Inauguration Ceremony in the afternoon!"
Hashirama was extremely excited. This was the first time he saw his descendant Hokage Succession Ceremony besides himself, so Wood Release was particularly excited.
"Oh~~oh~~~"
Yamato responded feebly, but the last wooden pillar he summoned was no longer thicker than his arm.
Second Hokage's temporary residence, in a cabin built by First Hokage himself.
"This is the list and information you want."
Shikaku Nara respectfully placed a pile of information in front of the other party.
"Well, do you have any recommendations?"
Tobirama Senju browsed everyone's information at an extremely fast speed, analyzing and asking questions at the same time.
"... I don't know whether to say or..."
"I don't need to play that trick here. I just don't think Monkey talks awkwardly, so I won't discuss it with Office. His way of speaking is already a problem at first sight, and communication is very difficult. Just let him deal with those guys who also have difficulty speaking."
Tobirama Senju glanced at Shikaku and said calmly, "After all, Older Brother and I have met very few people in the village in this era. You know better than me, so speak boldly."
"Yes, then... I think these two are suitable!"
Shikaku looked at Second Hokage's expression that didn't seem to be fake, no longer hesitated, and pulled out two of the lists.
Looking at that extremely young face, Tobirama Senju had no objection. "Okay, I will talk to these two people after that, and then choose a few more..."
Within Hokage Office.
"As you can see, Konoha suffered from this disaster and is still rebuilding. As for all this happening, I, who organized Three-Village Joint Chunin Exams, cannot absolve myself of the blame. I have resigned from my position as Hokage and will no longer be Hokage."
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head at the extremely anxious opponent in front of him, "Daimyo is missing, and we are also very anxious. But at this time Konoha is also in a period of turmoil, and we are also We can only break the tradition and elect a leader first... Don't worry, when we can spare some manpower, I believe Fifth Hokage and Konoha will go all out to search and rescue Daimyo."
"... We can't send a few people first..." Land of Fire's envoy looked at Third Hokage with a flattering look. As a senior executive of Land of Fire, he didn't have to look at his subordinate Konoha in a good way.
But Chunin Ninja Exams couldn't stand it, they were really there to watch the whole process... and many people died...
This damn Ninja is no different from a god. Now at least for a short period of time, they really don't have the guts to show off to Konoha.
"We really don't have the manpower at the moment."
Third opened his eyes and told lies.
As for why he was so resistant to rescuing Land of Fire Daimyo... because he knew everything now, and he really knew who Daimyo was kidnapped.
Tsunade at home.
"...Minato and Kushina, how are they?"
Jiraiya touched Hokage Garb in the box, and the word "five" stacked on top that could be clearly seen.
"For the time being, Kurama is supplementing Chakra for them. I was exhausted before and had to take a good rest. It's okay. They can hear your voices now. I also asked me to tell you Hokage Succession Ceremony that they will definitely participate in the afternoon."
"Thank you for their hard work, but is it really so troublesome for Kushina to discover the seal in Tailed Beast's body?"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto seriously, "Can't you and Kurama even do anything?"
"Mom and Dad can't help it, Sealing Jutsu, and neither can we. And mom said it's not that there's nothing we can do, it's that the current Reincarnation Seal is not suitable." Naruto seemed to have remembered something again. Well, he quickly corrected, "Kurama said, it's not that Tailed Beast has the seal in his body, but only Shukaku has that seal in his body, Isobu and Matatabi don't have it."
"Reincarnation Seal is not a seal that can suppress all seals?"
Jiraiya asked.
"That's the problem. Kurama found that the seal was already activated, and it has been resisting its communication with Shukaku. It is almost completely integrated. It's like symbiosis. It can even be said that the seal itself is Shukaku itself, so Reincarnation Seal cannot crack it."
"So strange? Then the other two... well, they don't have this seal on them, so why can't they communicate with each other?"
"I don't know, there's nothing strange about them."
Naruto shrugged, "Anyway, what Kurama means is to find a way to break the seal in Shukaku's body first, and maybe we can know something..."
"Really? Well, I still have to work hard for you."
Jiraiya nodded.
"Are you done talking about the business?"
Tsunade, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked the two of them with a smile.
"Oh, it's almost..."
"Okay, hurry up, do you know what time it is! How long are you still carrying this Aburo Hidden Village Forehead Protector? I asked you to come here because I have prepared new clothes for you to try on quickly! If they fit or don't fit, you have to change them. Do you know how troublesome it is!"
Tsunade directly knocked Forehead Protector on Jiraiya's forehead, causing him to lose his airway.
"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot... No, Pervy Sage, this is for you."
"Is this for me?"
Jiraiya took the gift that Naruto took out from behind his back and looked at the pile of white Hokage Garb lying quietly in the box. He was a little moved.
"The same design as Dad, the techniques passed down from my mother, by me..."
"Did you sew it yourself?"
Jiraiya and Tsunade both looked at Naruto in shock. They didn't expect this child to be so skillful with his hands.
"Um... no, I personally asked Hinata to do it overnight."
Naruto touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"I'm determined."
Jiraiya, who had been alone for most of his life, felt that he could hardly control the urge to cry. He quickly turned his head and looked at Tsunade: "What, bring the clothes, I want to try them on quickly."
"Here you go."
Jiraiya hurriedly took the clothes handed over by Tsunade. Although he knew they were from the mall at first glance, Jiraiya felt so... when he put them on.
Not suitable.
"This size... isn't my size at all?"
Jiraiya looked at the buttons that were about to burst. He was originally planning to try on the Hokage Garb cloak, and was completely speechless.
"Nonsense, how do I know your size? I bought it when I saw it... Give it back to me, I still have time to change it!"
Tsunade quickly took off Jiraiya's clothes and handed them to Naruto who was watching the show. "Stop laughing, use Flying Thunder God to change this clothes into a suitable size! Konoha's clothing store was destroyed. I bought this in the next town yesterday."
"Mother-in-law, Flying Thunder God needs to be marked. I didn't leave it in the mall..."
"I was already prepared to throw the Kunai that Minato gave me to the store. Go quickly. It doesn't matter if Jiraiya makes a fool of himself. Fifth Hokage, which represents Konoha, can't make a fool of himself!"
Naruto immediately stood up and said, "Mother-in-law is right, I'll go right away!"
However, the moment Naruto disappeared, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, making her feel uncomfortable. "Why are you staring at me?"
"I said, why don't you just take me there to try?"
"... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
With a burst of commotion, Konoha soon ushered in the time of the new Hokage Succession Ceremony.
At this time, in a piece of Forest outside Konoha.
A black-haired man wearing a black cloak with long hair half covering one eye suddenly appeared from the sky.
Along with him, there was an orange Blond-Haired Boy wearing a jacket, looking at the ground with a horrified look on his face and shouting, "Mr. Sasuke, help!"
