Three years have passed quietly since the end of the "Six Paths·Life-and-Death Shogi" game that determined the future of Shinobi World, when Naruto Uzumaki and Sage of Six Paths exhausted their efforts to draw.
Time flies, and with the joint efforts of everyone, Shinobi World has entered a new New Era that is relatively peaceful, open to communication, and committed to people's livelihood development and technological innovation.
Although the old estrangement and hatred have not been completely eliminated, reconciliation and cooperation have become the mainstream tone.
And the blond young man who turned the tide in the battle of Pure Land and showed god-like power - Naruto Uzumaki, with his unparalleled prestige, strength and practice of the concept of peace, has become the de facto spiritual leader and one of the top decision-makers of Shinobi World.
He often visits various places to coordinate relations, promote new technologies, resolve disputes, and vigorously promote the improvement of people's livelihood.
On this day, Land of Grass, Kusagakure.
This Small Shinobi Village, which was once ravaged in the Shinobi World war and is famous for its tenacity and "weedy" characteristics, has now taken on a new look.
Neat streets, newly built residential buildings and public facilities, and lush farmland and orchards all reflect the earth-shaking changes in the past three years.
And all of this is inseparable from the attention and support of that legendary figure.
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.
The main road at the entrance of the village was already crowded with people, and the air was filled with an almost fanatical excitement and expectation.
I don't know who shouted first, "Here we come! Lord Hokage is here!"
In an instant, it was like a powder keg was lit!
"Lord Hokage!!"
"Sixth-sama!!"
"Lord Hokage!!!"
Deafening cheers, like a tsunami, erupted.
Countless people poured out from both sides of the streets, from windows, and from rooftops. They raised their hands in the air, their faces flushed with extreme excitement, and they even burst into tears.
Many people were waving homemade simple flags with the logo of Konoha, the pattern of Uzumaki, or the words "Sir Naruto", "Sixth" and other words directly written on them.
They shouted at the top of their lungs for the name of the savior and leader who could help them escape poverty, gain stability, and see hope.
"Lord Hokage, let us live a good life!"
"Thank you Lord Hokage!"
The crowd surged forward like a tide, almost breaking through the boundaries of the street.
The scene got a little out of control for a while.
At this moment, a team of Ninja wearing Kusagakure uniforms and looking serious and capable acted quickly to build a solid human wall between the crowd and the center of the street.
They used their bodies to block the blond young man who was slowly walking from the entrance of the village, and closely guarded him in the center.
These Grass Ninja's eyes were sharp, scanning the enthusiastic crowd, and they were extremely nervous.
The highest order they received was to absolutely ensure the absolute safety of Sixth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki during Kusagakure.
If there is any blind lunatic who dares to take advantage of the chaos and assassinate Lord Hokage...
That is not only a personal death sentence, but the entire Kusagakure may endure unimaginable anger. These guards are even more likely to die without redemption, and they will really live to the end.
Naruto Uzumaki, who was closely guarded in the center, was not wearing Hokage Robe at the moment, but was wearing simple dark casual clothes.
Because he was inspecting the entire Shinobi World by himself, so wearing Hokage Robe was too ostentatious.
But his blond hair and blue eyes were too conspicuous, and his whereabouts must have been guessed along the way.
After all, there is no shortage of people in the world who want to make progress, but they obviously don't know whether they are flattering or flattering.
His medium-length blond hair shone in the sun, and he had a gentle smile on his face, but deep in his blue eyes, there was a hint of helplessness and displeasure.
He stopped, looked past the cheering crowd, and landed directly on Kusagakure Village Chief, who was surrounded by several Grass Ninja executives, wiping sweat and approaching with a flattering smile.
The smile on Naruto's face faded a bit, his brows furrowed slightly, and he spoke in a not harsh tone:
"What's going on with you guys?"
His voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the surrounding noise and reached the ears of Village Chief and several nearby senior executives.
"Organize the masses to carry out such a flashy, face-saving project that mobilizes thousands of troops?"
Naruto glanced at the dark crowd around them and the welcome signs that were obviously prepared in advance.
"I'm not here for the pomp and cheer."
Kusagakure Village Chief When he heard these words, he felt that his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat and his calves felt a little weak.
Although the battle in front of him was indeed a spontaneous rise in public sentiment, it was so large in scale and so "orderly" in its organization that even he himself would not believe it if he said that the village had no advance preparations or secret guidance.
Someone is causing trouble!
"Fire, Lord Hokage calm down!"
Village Chief hurriedly bent down, his voice was trembling, and he hurriedly explained.
"This, this is really not organized by the village.
It's everyone at Kusagakure who sincerely thanks you for your correct leadership and selfless assistance to the village over the years. I heard that you were coming and spontaneously gathered to welcome you.
I, I only found out in the morning that there would be so many people, so I had no idea beforehand."
What he said was half true and half false.
The enthusiasm of the people is indeed real, but the village did make some "appropriate guidance and arrangements" in order to "show the gratitude and good appearance of Kusagakure", but they did not expect that the scene would become so popular.
Naruto listened quietly to Village Chief's explanation, and once again glanced at the surrounding people whose faces were full of sincere gratitude and enthusiasm.
He could feel that the emotions contained in those tears and cheers were real.
This eased the displeasure in his heart a little.
He nodded slightly, temporarily accepting this explanation and sparing Village Chief this time.
After dealing with this small episode, Naruto turned his attention again to the people around him who were still cheering enthusiastically.
That infectious, sunny smile appeared on his face again.
He raised his right hand high, then waved his arms vigorously and energetically towards the enthusiastic crowds in all directions, while shouting in his loud and sincere voice:
"Hello everyone!"
A simple greeting, but it seems to have magic power.
Seeing their beloved Lord Hokage, instead of blaming them for their "rashness", he waved to them so affectionately, and the excitement of the crowd reached its peak in an instant!
The fanatical cheers rose an octave again!
Countless people jumped, shouted, cried, laughed, and waved their arms desperately in response.
And in the deafening sound, an unknown person, using all his strength, took the lead in shouting a heartfelt voice that represented absolute trust and support:
"Long live Lord Sixth!"
"Long live Lord Sixth!"
After closing the Office door, Kurotsuchi leaned into Naruto's ear and whispered a slogan.
Naruto frowned and leaned back slightly.
Seeing Naruto's appearance, Kurotsuchi sat down on the desk with a smile.
"Is our Sixth still shy?"
Naruto moved the girl's legs in front of him expressionlessly, and then skillfully found what he wanted in the desk.
"Iwagakure The economy has grown quite well in the past two years, and the road construction team estimates that Mr. Ōnoki will be able to finish his work and come back next year."
Ōnoki's Dust Release is a powerful tool for clearing roads in the mountains, and even Deidara was brought over by Ōnoki to open roads together.
After all, Deidara's explosive art is also very helpful in digging mountains.
"It doesn't matter whether the old man comes back or not."
Kurotsuchi waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
Naruto didn't answer the call, he was in the clear.
Kurotsuchi despises Ōnoki on the surface, but he is his grandson after all. If something really happened to Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi would definitely be more anxious than anyone other than Kitsuchi.
"Okay, it's time for me to go to the next place."
Ignoring Kurotsuchi's gaze, Naruto reached out and closed the ledger.
The pages of the book are closed.
Shikamaru Nara threw the report in his hand on the table.
"That guy Naruto ran out to fool around again. Tenten left these things to me. Is he Hokage or am I Hokage?"
"Congratulations, Mr. Shikamaru, for being able to stand on the ground. As long as you open the golden mouth, you will be the Seventh Hokage."
The familiar voice made Shikamaru tremble. As expected, Shikamaru looked up and saw the smiling face of Naruto.
The former Shikamaru would have thought this face was very friendly and sunny. At this moment, he just wanted to punch her.
Shikamaru threw a stack of documents into Naruto's arms angrily.
"You can do it yourself, I'm going to rest."
After saying Shikamaru, he was ready to get up and leave.
However, Naruto stopped him.
"Shikamaru, do you want a wife or not? As long as you open the door, I will grant you three months of Blind Date leave, how about it?"
Naruto is still very concerned about the marriage issues of good partners. You can't just let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass, right?
Hearing this Shikamaru's eyes turned green.
"Three months of vacation? Seriously?"
"If you can get married, I will grant you one and a half years of paid leave, including marriage leave and maternity leave."
Shikamaru's eyes lit up when he heard this, making Naruto think he had gotten Pig Talisman.
"You can't take this year and a half of paid leave. You can find someone else to take it, hahaha!"
Shikamaru had no idea that he had already used all his vacations for the rest of his life in advance. At this moment, Shikamaru was already going crazy with his imagination.
He stepped out Hokage's Office happily, making people on the way look at him frequently, wondering why the executive deputy Hokage was so happy.
Naruto sat on the office chair, picked up Red Eyes's landline and made a call.
The lazy voice of Orochimaru came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Shikamaru?"
"Orochimaru, ask Jiraiya to answer the phone."
Naruto was not surprised that the person who answered the phone was Orochimaru, even though he was calling Jiraiya.
"Wait a minute, he went to do laundry, I'll call him right now."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, there was no sound over there, and soon there was a quarrel.
Finally, it ends with Orochimaru's sentence "Who else wants you, an old pervert, Tsunade?" besides me.
After the two got married, they kept quarreling, and basically the content of the quarrel was related to the money Tsunade and Jiraiya gave to Tsunade.
Jiraiya's ability to make money is really strong. Currently, when Orochimaru is doing experiments, in order to make money, he will make some convenient things and let the company jointly established by the two people sell these products.
Jiraiya still insists on creating. Although it is still not as popular as Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's new work, he is also the head writer of Shinobi World.
The money Orochimaru needs is a bottomless pit. Although Jiraiya is already very profitable, it is still not enough.
Experiments that are beneficial to Konoha will naturally be supported by special funds, but Orochimaru still has some small experiments of her own in private, so she can only find a way.
"Hello, Naruto?"
A somewhat embarrassed Jiraiya sat in front of the phone and cleared his throat before greeting Naruto.
"Jiraiya Senior, please take over Hokage's position temporarily. I need to deal with some things."
"Hey, where is Shikamaru?"
"Blind Date is gone."
Jiraiya:...
What an impeccable reason for taking leave.
He was also taken over by Orochimaru when he went to Blind Date. Who knew that guy liked to wear women's bodies so much that Jiraiya mistakenly admitted the beauty seven times and came to Orochimaru. Finally, he got drunk and got the certificate with Orochimaru in a daze.
Every time I think of it, Jiraiya beats her chest and stamps her feet.
Why can't I see through the fake Kid because of my lustful nature?
Orochimaru's current body was bigger than Tsunade's before. When Jiraiya deflated in front of Jiraiya's eyes, Jiraiya really wanted to die.
"When are you going to get married?"
"Three months from now, October 10th will happen to be my eighteenth birthday."
Naruto smiled and took out a photo from his pocket, which was his Family Portrait.
Naruto is in the middle, Parents is standing behind him on the left and right, and on the left are Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Hanabi.
Standing on the right are Karin, Guang, Kazahana Koyuki and Kaguya.
Otohime moved a small stool and sat in front of Naruto.
Naruto touched the photo with his hand after hanging up the phone.
After touching it with my hand, the people in the photo were still standing in the same position, but their clothes had changed and there were a few more people.
Naruto wore black Kimono, and was surrounded by six girls wearing White Bridal Kimono.
Minato grabbed Kushina's excited hand and faced the camera with a smile.
Hiashi, Ino Yamanaka couple and Haruno couple also appeared in the middle of the screen.
Hanabi looked unhappy, Neji held hands with Tenten and smiled sweetly, and Third's youthful father, youthful brother, and youthful brother in the same frame had tears in their eyes.
Sasuke and his Parents, Shikamaru family, Choji family, Shino family, and Ya family.
First, Second Hokage's family and Third Hokage's family, Kakashi's family of four, Jiraiya's family of three...
Everyone is fixed on this photo at this moment.
The boy named Yuto opened the photo album and his eyes lit up when he looked at this photo.
He soon saw the photo at the back of Hana Inuzuka, Kurotsuchi, Hanabi, and Naruto.
Then he looked at his father beside him.
"Why are there two photos of dad's wedding?"
Naruto touched the eldest son's head lovingly.
"Because good things come in pairs."
