Sunagakure.
At this time, the sun is just right.
All the villagers and ninjas of Sunagakure gathered in the center of the village, focusing their attention on one place.
That was the young man who slowly stepped forward under the warm cheers of everyone and shrouded in sunlight.
Yubi!
The new generation of Lord Kazekage in their village!
In addition to Yubi, there were also Chiyo standing on the stage - including Daimyo of the Land of Wind, who came from afar and had a slim figure.
As the older generation of ninjas in the village, the speeches of Chiyo and Ebizo have already set the atmosphere and mood for Yubi - waiting for him to deliver his speech in person, pushing everyone's spirit to a higher level.
Land of Wind was naturally the first to speak, but he seemed very calm and just praised Yubi casually. His tone and demeanor were completely different from Chiyo, who was a member of Sunagakure.
Obviously, in the eyes of the daimyo, it doesn't matter who becomes Kazekage, he doesn't care too much.
Yubi wore a shadow robe and walked to the front of the stage.
From his perspective, he could see that the audience was packed with people - the crowd had squeezed to the end of the street and still showed no signs of slowing down.
In order to make room for the villagers, many Sunagakure even jumped onto the roofs of surrounding buildings, and civilians were also brought up.
Those who looked at him included old people, middle-aged people, and children - every face was filled with excitement and bright smiles.
There are also many young faces - looking at themselves with admiration.
Everyone is looking forward to his speech.
"Hahahaha--"
All along, Yubi thought he was very talkative, but now he found that he had a bit of stage fright.
Under the spotlight, he laughed awkwardly at first.
Then, cough.
To be honest, he once imagined himself becoming Kazekage - but when it became reality, he realized that the pressure was not as great as usual.
"Lord Kazekage, come on!"
"Don't be shy - you are my son's hero!"
"It's okay, don't worry and say it boldly - as long as it is Lord Kazekage, no matter what you say, we all like it! Everyone, don't you think so -"
In the audience, some people saw his embarrassment, and first an old man spoke up to encourage him.
Then another man carrying his child on his shoulders laughed loudly.
As the two men started cheering, a chain reaction immediately started at the scene, and the crowd burst into strong cheers and continuous applause.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind stood behind Yubi, holding a paper fan and covering half of his face. There were servants beside him who were using sunshade tools to block him from the sun.
Looking at the scene in front of him, there was a hint of surprise in the daimyo's eyes.
He had seen a similar scene when Third Kazekage took over - just talking about the public's love for Kazekage, Yubi seemed to be much higher than the previous generation.
These four words, the aspiration of the people, are vividly reflected.
You know, Sunagakure is starting to rebuild at this time, and many people have just been buried a few days ago--
Logically speaking, Yubi's rise to power will be somewhat affected by Kumogakure's attack on the village.
However, the Daimyo didn't feel this at all.
He even felt that the entire Sunagakure, as long as they were still breathing, almost all came.
"It's my honor to be Kazekage."
"Thank you all for your trust in me--"
Encouraged, Yubi smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
As soon as he spoke, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent spontaneously.
"I know that everyone has different expectations of me - and I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations. Even if I can't do my best in every aspect, I will do my best to make the village move towards a better tomorrow to repay everyone's feelings -"
Yubi's face gradually became serious.
"The pressure he feels" is not a big scene like this.
It's the friendship contained in those lines of sight.
A responsibility.
Only by truly becoming a shadow can Yubi truly realize the weight and significance of this burden.
Faced with the sincere feelings of the villagers, Yubi also expressed his true feelings.
Some people were crying at the scene, some had red eyes--
From Second Shinobi World War to the present, the village has come a long way - what kind of experiences it has had, and what kind of difficult situations it has faced - these are things that outsiders cannot understand.
Yubi said a few more words.
Finally, he bowed on the spot and ended with a solemn tone.
"Finally, thank you all again for your trust in me!"
"I'll do my best!"
Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd made a deafening roar.
Cheers and congratulations came one after another.
The response was overwhelming.
Yubi's inauguration ceremony, because the village is in a special period, many Sunagakure are away fighting, and many senior officials are not here--
Therefore, judging from the formation alone, it is not considered grand.
But for this young Fourth Kazekage, the villagers did their best to give him the most real and warm emotions.
The ceremony is over.
Yubi returned to the familiar office wearing a movie robe.
Sitting in the seat that once belonged exclusively to Third Kazekage.
He's already a little weak--
He didn't want to experience this again.
I feel that attending the ceremony is more tiring than going to the battlefield and fighting bloody battles.
Not to mention his speech on the stage, the series of preparations before the ceremony started were exhausting enough.
Looking back now, it feels a bit like running a campaign in my previous life.
"Well--I'm really not suitable for this job"--"
Yubi put his head sideways on the table, without any Kazekage image, and pouted.
Boom.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Yubi immediately straightened up his back, put away his decadent look, and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Sunagakure, who was in charge of administration, walked in with a stack of documents, "Lord Kazekage--This is the work content that Mr. Chiyo ordered before. You need to handle it."
The stack of documents almost covered the man's face - Yubi's eyelids twitched and his head suddenly swelled.
"Put it here and I'll take a look."
"Okay, Lord Kazekage."
With a bang, the heavy document was placed on the table.
"By the way, Lord Kazekage, Master Chiyo said that when you find time, please be sure to meet with the daimyo. It seems that there is something important to discuss."
"Hmm."
Yubi nodded.
By the way, Land of Wind's name.
I almost forgot about this guy.
His eyes turned cold.
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with this famous name.
Now it happened that the other party took the initiative to send it to the door.
Although it was to attend his inauguration ceremony, Yubi felt that the daimyo definitely had another purpose for this trip.
If there is no profit, you can't afford to go early.
Mostly - they came here for the village industry.
"It's time to deal with you--"
Yubi secret channel.
In the evening, after finishing the work at hand, he went to the daimyo's residence in the village.
The location discussed was not Shadow Tower.
When Yubi arrived, he found that there were only three people in total, him, Chiyo and the daimyo.
No one else came.
This - obviously something is wrong.
