Master, Please Become a Hokage

She nodded, her beautiful face devoid of joy or sorrow.

“Minato Namikaze, you must work hard and try to compete for the next Hokage......”

Because only then can Kushina and you achieve a fruitful relationship.

Chapter 111. Kushina's Belonging Issue

When everyone felt that Minato Namikaze was qualified and should participate in the competition for the next Hokage.

Minato Namikaze's anxiety quietly spread in his own heart.

After all, Minato Namikaze couldn't talk to others about... Naruto's matter.

Therefore, he could only find ways to get closer to Kushina... to create opportunities for intimacy.

However, Mito Uzumaki was still alive.

She was extremely vigilant about some things.

After all, Mito Uzumaki, who came from the Warring States Period and a prominent family, was incredibly conservative and traditional in her thinking.

Consequently, Kushina, who had been disciplined and educated, also fully accepted some of the ancient traditional ideas...

Just as Minato Namikaze kept trying and working hard.

On the other side.

As the leader of the Jonin squad... and also a staff officer for the new Hokage, Sarutobi Ryo was followed by many people.

In the past few days, visitors came in an endless stream.

The heads of various families and the leaders of various departments had never been so frequent in the past.

A new dynasty, a new court.

Everyone understood the principle.

So they were very clear about who would be in charge in the future.

Time passed quickly like this.

On the day Sakumo Hatake took office, the entire Konoha was immersed in cheers.

The news of Sakumo Hatake's appointment as Jonin had already been conveyed to various countries by messengers.

It was believed that it wouldn't be long before the entire ninja world would know about the birth of the new Hokage.

And by that time, the stalemate situation in the later stages of the war would undergo a qualitative change.

After all, the name of Konoha's White Fang was well-known throughout the ninja world.

The Third Hokage was in his prime.

The existence of two top powerhouses was the backbone of Konoha and an important weight to deter other countries.

Following the example of Sunagakure selecting the Fourth Kazekage Yekura.

Konoha had given birth to the Fourth Hokage.

Kirigakure should also be integrating its internal strife, with Yagura taking office as the perfect Jinchuriki, appearing in front of everyone.

By then, a new era would arrive.

The successive appointments of the Fourth Kages in various countries also foreshadowed the end of the Third Ninja World War.

It was just unknown what would happen on the Amegakure side.

In this timeline.

Hanzo did not unite with Danzo to plot against Akatsuki.

But Hanzo would definitely solve the Akatsuki problem.

Whether Nagato would be recruited by Hanzo or... still fight fiercely, would depend on the changes of time.

This was also one of the many events that Konoha had to prevent.

After suffering losses in the Third Ninja World War, Konoha would slightly restrain itself and face the ninja world with a more cautious attitude.

“It's almost time......”

Sarutobi Ryo stood on the Hokage Rock.

Below the Hokage Rock, the people of Konoha were in a sea of people.

They were all waiting for the announcement of the appointment.

And as Sarutobi Ryo, with a full voice, conveyed the Third Hokage's handover to the Fourth Hokage.

The crowd below finally erupted in cheers.

“Oh oh oh ~ ~ ~ !”

The people of Konoha had been looking forward to this for too long.

The inauguration of the new Hokage foreshadowed a change in the situation.

The great war was about to come to an end, and a brand new era of peace was coming, which was what countless people were looking forward to.

The lively inauguration ceremony lasted for a whole morning.

Sakumo Hatake kept waving and paying his respects, parading through the streets.

Finally... he returned to the Hokage Building and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Phew......”

After being busy for half a day, Sakumo Hatake finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And before he could really relax.

More affairs... were waiting for him.

Inside the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Danzo Shimura, and Biwako were present.

Also present were Sakumo Hatake and Ryo Sarutobi.

The doors were tightly closed, obviously, the four high-level officials had something to say.

“Fourth Hokage......”

As soon as Koharu Utatane opened her mouth, it was Fourth Hokage, no longer as rude as in the past.

Obviously, the position of Hokage highlighted the true rise in Sakumo Hatake's status.

“And Ryo Sarutobi, there are some things that you should also know......”

Koharu Utatane began to talk about the secrets that only high-level officials could know.

As various confidential events were revealed, the surprise on Sakumo Hatake's face became deeper and deeper.

When Koharu Utatane talked about... Kushina Uzumaki being the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Sakumo Hatake only felt that his three views had been subverted.

Because.

From the historical knowledge he had learned since he was a child, the Nine-Tails was a mythical story.

It was said that every once in a while, the Nine-Tails would appear in the world due to the accumulation of people's resentment...

Now, the Konoha high-level officials actually said that Mito-sama was the first Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, and Kushina Uzumaki was the second.

The Nine-Tails, this kind of creature, was inside Konoha...

“Then Kushina Uzumaki... will she marry Minato Namikaze?”

Sakumo Hatake, with a surprised expression, quickly considered the issue of the Jinchuriki's belonging.

Although he didn't know that the Nine-Tails was inside Konoha before.

But he had seen many similar treatment plans in other countries.

Konoha had never imprisoned the Jinchuriki like Sunagakure.

This showed that it was imitating the arrangements of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and other ninja villages.

That was... only people who had a close relationship with the Kage could serve as Jinchuriki.

Then, what would happen to Kushina's life?

Now that she was also at the age of marriage, it was impossible to let her grow old alone, right.

“Yes, this is the problem we want to talk about......”

Koharu Utatane's expression softened slightly.

Mito-sama was the sister-in-law of Tobirama-sama, so there was no problem with her placement.

Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi took office.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mito Uzumaki was his teacher's wife, so the latter was also safe and sound.

But in Kushina's generation.

There were some problems.

Kushina and Mito Uzumaki were relatives.

In other words, it was because of Mito Uzumaki's sake that Kushina became the Jinchuriki.

Because Kushina and Hiruzen Sarutobi were not related.

Now that Sakumo Hatake had become the Fourth Hokage, he was even more distant from Kushina.

This problem... would be very big.

If Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

This thought flashed through Koharu Utatane's mind and then disappeared without a trace.

“Minato Namikaze... is even more unrelated to you......”

Koharu Utatane began to shake her head.

What was being considered now was not the issue of whose grand-disciple Minato Namikaze was.

But... what was the relationship between Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

Since there was no relationship, then they could only let Kushina and Sakumo Hatake have some kind of connection.

Therefore, who could marry Kushina was what the high-level officials were considering.

“This is simple.”

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly spoke.

“Let Minato Namikaze recognize Sakumo-sensei as his adoptive father, wouldn't the problem be solved.”

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado: “......”

From the age point of view.

Sakumo Hatake was very reluctant and could not be Minato Namikaze's adoptive father, because the two were only about 15 years apart.

To say that this age of recognizing an adoptive father or something was still too......

“It's a bit reluctant.” Homura Mitokado frowned, disagreeing.

“Sarutobi Ryo.”

Koharu Utatane suddenly looked at Sarutobi Ryo.

“Considering all aspects, only you are suitable to marry Kushina......”
