In a valley surrounded by forest, two boys, about five or six years old, were fighting fiercely.
A white-haired girl with light blue eyes, named Hagoromo Senju.
The other one also has white hair and Byakugan; his name is Hamura Senju.
The two look exactly alike, like a pair of porcelain dolls, but when they fight, they are more ferocious than Tailed Beast.
Hagoromo slammed her fist into the ground. The ground exploded, creating a crack more than ten meters long, with debris flying everywhere and snapping an old tree in half.
Not to be outdone, Hamura struck out with his palm, a beam of Chakra shooting out from his palm and flattening half of a small hill opposite him.
The two collided again, their fists clashing, causing trees around them to fall in droves.
The birds had all flown away, and the small animals huddled in their nests, too afraid to come out.
"You lost!" Hagoromo pressed down on Hamura's shoulders, pinning him beneath her.
"I didn't lose!" Hamura flipped over, lifted his Hagoromo, and pressed his knee against Hamura's chest.
The two children rolled around in the mud, punching and kicking each other, kicking up clouds of dust.
But their bodies were ridiculously tough; a punch from an ordinary ninja that could shatter rocks wouldn't even leave a red mark on them.
" Hagoromo, Hamura, dinner's ready."
A voice came from afar. The two little boys stopped simultaneously and turned to look.
A blond young man stood at the entrance of the valley. He was tall with a strong jawline and a smile in his blue eyes.
He wore the sacred robes of Konoha, with flame emblems embroidered on the cuffs.
"Uncle Naruto!"
Hagoromo jumped up from the ground and ran towards him. Hamura followed behind, running slower, but he was also smiling.
Naruto bent down, scooped one up in each hand, and held them in his arms.
The combined weight of the two children felt weightless to him.
He carried them deeper into the valley, talking as he went.
"They're fighting again?"
"No!" they both said in unison.
Naruto glanced at the furrow that had been plowed behind him, then at the flattened hilltop in the distance.
He sighed.
"Okay. No fighting. Just practicing boxing."
"Yes! Let's practice boxing!" Hagoromo confidently.
There is a courtyard deep in the valley.
It wasn't big, just a few wooden houses, a bamboo fence, and an old pear tree in the yard with a stone table under it.
Two women sat around the stone table.
A black-haired, Byakugan with a slightly protruding belly, holding a black-haired little girl in his arms.
Another blonde with a high ponytail, also with a large belly, was holding a blond little boy in her arms.
The two women were talking when they saw Naruto enter, and they both looked up at the same time.
" Naruto's here," Hinata said.
"Here you are." Ino glanced at him, "You look really awkward in this outfit."
Naruto looked down at his divine robes and grimaced.
"Stop talking. I'd rather wear my orange jacket than this."
He put down Hagoromo and Hamura.
The two children ran over and surrounded Hinata and Ino.
The little girl in Hinata's arms reached out and grabbed Naruto.
Naruto crouched down, took out two candies from his pocket, gave one to the little girl, and the other to the boy in Ino's arms.
"This is it?" Ino raised an eyebrow.
"And there's more," Naruto, pulling out two small scrolls and handing them to Hagoromo and Hamura, "Each containing a Kunai, Teuchi."
Hagoromo unwrapped the scroll, took out Kunai, and held it up to the sunlight.
The blade is very shiny, and the workmanship is good.
Hamura twirled the kubi on his finger and nodded.
"Where's Shinsei?"
"Inside the house." Hinata gestured with her chin towards the wooden house.
Naruto stood up, walked to the door of the cabin, and knocked.
A lazy voice came from inside.
"Come in."
He pushed the door open and went inside.
Shinsei sat at the table, with a huge star map spread out in front of him. The star map was marked with dense coordinates and lines.
He appears more mature and handsome than he did five years ago. However, Shinsei finds Naruto even more unfathomable now.
I have absolutely no idea how strong Shinsei has become.
Shinsei seemed to have guessed Naruto's thoughts, and he smiled indifferently.
Since turning 16, Shinsei's strength has grown stronger every day.
Soon, the Qi in the body accumulated deeper and deeper, opening up the acupoints and meridians throughout the body and circulating throughout the body.
This allows him to maintain Sage Mode anytime, anywhere, without having to consciously enter a meditative state.
Moreover, Natural Energy can freely enter and exit his body according to his will.
Furthermore, he can use pure natural power, just like the gods of Takamagahara.
Moreover, its power far Takamagahara.
Using this knowledge, Shinsei later traveled back to the ancient timeline and helped Madara Uchiha defeat Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
They also defeated the combined forces of Madara Uchiha and Omoikane, successfully eliminating Madara Uchiha's interference in the Shinobi World.
Following that, just recently, Shinsei successfully condensed Golden Core within his body.
This further enhanced his abilities.
Even he himself is unsure of how strong he is now.
There is simply no worthy opponent.
Now, he has few ambitions left. He only wants to share the cultivation methods he knows with his trusted family members.
May they, like themselves, attain immortality.
If all else fails, we can only wait until Tsunade and Orochimaru have figured out the mystery of Kaguya's bloodline.
Shinsei looked up at Naruto, a slight smile playing on his lips.
" The Lord Hokage has arrived."
"Don't call me Lord Hokage." Naruto pulled up a chair and sat down. "I haven't officially taken office yet."
"Soon." Shinsei put away the star map. "What do you need me for?"
Naruto explained his purpose for coming.
His inauguration ceremony is scheduled for three days from now, and he hopes that Shinsei, Hinata, and Ino will go together.
Kaguya can bring her child; the people of Konoha want to see her.
Shinsei shook his head after listening.
"I'm not going."
"Why?"
"I've already gone into seclusion. The Hokage inauguration ceremony is your big day."
I went, and all the limelight was on me.
Those reporters, those old guys, they'll all be watching me.
Do you want your inauguration ceremony to be a ceremony of Shinsei and rebirth?
Shinsei looked at Naruto's hardened face and sighed inwardly, " Naruto has finally matured."
His every move exuded the aura of Hokage.
He unified the Shinobi World four years ago and then announced his resignation as Hokage.
Ultimately, the two candidates for the new Hokage were put forward to Shinsei.
It was Naruto and Sasuke.
The two are evenly matched in strength; one possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, plus the Rinnegan and Yin Power sponsored by Hagoromo Otsutsuki of this world.
The other possesses the complete power of the Nine-Tails and the Yang Power.
In terms of strength, even Chu Tian, who possesses the Tenseigan, is inferior.
However, Shinsei still secretly favored Sasuke a little.
For no other reason than that the Uchiha Clan desperately needed the position of Hokage.
Therefore, based on Shinsei's suggestion, the Hokage is more about controlling the decisions made by the Shinobi World.
Between strength and wisdom, wisdom prevails.
Ultimately, in the match, Naruto unsurprisingly lost to Sasuke.
Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha became the new Hokage, a position that is held every four years.
However, after Sasuke became Hokage, he was initially very enthusiastic and wanted to change the world.
It can be seen that the policies left by Shinsei are not worth overturning.
The Shinobi World has been unified, and there's been more patching and repair work.
After four years of a monotonous Hokage career, Sasuke finally couldn't take it anymore and submitted his resignation to the Ninja Council.
Unsurprisingly, the Hokage Position went to the more mature Naruto.
Naruto looked at Shinsei, opened his mouth as if to say "I don't mind," but swallowed the words back.
He could sense that Shinsei had indeed lost interest in these things.
Although somewhat disappointed, Naruto didn't want to put Shinsei in a difficult position, nor did he feel comfortable forcing him further.
"So be it. Let me become a legend."
A former Hokage who unified the Shinobi World and defeated the Ōtsutsuki should probably keep a low profile.
Otherwise, it would be very detrimental to your work Hokage.
Naruto was silent for a moment, then he nodded.
"All right."
He stood up and walked towards the door. After a few steps, Shinsei called out to him.
Naruto.
Naruto turned around.
"When did you stop Hokage?"
Naruto paused for a moment.
I just got the job.
"I know."
Shinsei stood up and walked to the window. Outside, Hagoromo and Hamura were fighting again.
Hinata and Ino ignored them. The two little girls sat on the mat, watching their two older brothers play around, clapping their hands with laughter.
Sunlight filtered through the pear trees and fell into the courtyard.
"When you're tired of this job, will you come with me?"
Where to?
Shinsei turned around, picked up the star map from the table, and unfolded it.
The star map is marked with a dense array of coordinates and routes.
There is a line that starts from Earth, passes through the Moon's orbit, and extends into the deeper reaches of space.
There was a line of small print next to it, written in Shinsei's handwriting.
"Let's go to farther places," Shinsei said.
Naruto stared at the star map for a long time. Then he smiled.
"Okay. I'll go with you after I step down."
He Gate of Opening and walked out of the courtyard. Hagoromo and Hamura caught up with him, each grabbing one of his legs.
Hinata and Ino's laughter came from behind.
In the distance, Kaguya was walking back carrying a small basket full of mushrooms.
Further away, a blonde girl with twin ponytails, dressed in a green robe, was leading a little girl, hiding behind a big tree, secretly observing Naruto.
She breathed a sigh of relief as Naruto walked away.
Shinsei stood by the window, watching Naruto's figure grow smaller and smaller as he walked away.
Then he turned around and looked at the star map on the table.
The lines on the picture extend into the depths of the starry sky, at which four characters are written.
The Xingchen and the sea.
