Naruto: Rebirth of the Strongest Six Paths

"Old man, are you serious? Is Tsunade willing to be the Hokage?"

Jiraiya stared at the Sandaime Hokage with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"hehe......I'm old and my health is not as good as before! As an old man, I should retire early and go home to enjoy my old age~ So, Jiraiya, tomorrow I will officially announce my abdication at the elders' meeting, and from now on until Tsunade returns to the village, you will be the acting Hokage."

The third Hokage said with a smile, but his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and trust.

Hearing this, Jiraiya panicked and waved his hand to refuse:"Ah? Old man, just let me go! I don't want to be an acting Hokage! I still have a lot of novels waiting for me to complete! This is the key to whether I can become a great novelist!"

Although Jiraiya kept talking, he actually knew in his heart that he was not qualified for the important position of Hokage with his personality and ability.

At this time, the third Hokage's tone became more serious:"Jiraiya, now is not the time to joke! We need a capable and responsible person to lead Konoha Village, and you don't have to worry, you just need to serve as the acting Hokage for a while. When Tsunade comes back, everything will return to normal."

Naruto also laughed and interrupted:"Yes, yes, how could the legendary Myoboku Mountain Sage shrink from such a thing!"

Hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya's heart trembled violently. He took a deep look at the little Naruto in front of him, and a subtle deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed out loud.

""Okay, okay, fine. But it's agreed that I'll only be the acting Hokage temporarily."

Seeing Jiraiya agreed, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze to Kakashi and the others, and his originally serious expression gradually became gentle and kind.

"Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, in the coming days, you need to go with Jiraiya to find Tsunade and try your best to persuade her to return to the village. This is the last hope of this old guy for you."

Kakashi looked at the determination of the Sandaime Hokage, and he nodded,"Third Hokage, then I will be ready to set off in the afternoon."

The Sandaime shook his head, signaling Kakashi not to be so anxious.

He glanced at Naruto, then took a deep breath and said:"I will announce something in the village tomorrow afternoon. You can set off after that thing is done."

Although Kakashi had doubts, he still nodded.

The Sandaime continued:"Sasuke, Naruto, you are the hope of Konoha's future. No matter where you go in the future or what difficulties you encounter, home is always in Konoha, and home has always been here."

Listening to the words of the Third Hokage, Naruto suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

This highly respected Third Hokage had given him countless care and encouragement, but at this moment...

Naruto couldn't help but think of the past bits and pieces, and the good times he had spent with the Third Hokage seemed to flash before his eyes.

After leaving the Konoha Hospital, Kakashi asked the two to pack their bags and be fully prepared for the upcoming journey.

Then he announced the disbanding of the team. Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and instantly understood each other's inner thoughts.

However, Naruto took the lead in breaking the silence and said,"Sasuke, I'll take you to Myobokuyama first. I still have some very important things to deal with. I'll come over after that."

Sasuke stared at Naruto quietly, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile:"Naruto, you have to work harder, otherwise I might surpass you one day!"

"You are still far away, hahaha."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with expectation and determination for the future.

After Naruto said goodbye to Sasuke, he took heavy steps and slowly walked to the site of the Hyuga clan in the village.

This land carries the longest history and glory of Konoha Village, and the surname Hyuga represents endless power and wisdom.

Especially in this fierce battle, the gifted Hyuga Neji, with amazing strength, defeated five powerful enemies from the Sand Village alone with only the body of a Genin.

This victory not only made the Hyuga clan famous, but also made their prestige soar. And Neji used his strength to prove that even a [bird in a cage] will have a day to spread its wings.

When Naruto stepped into the door of the Hyuga clan's mansion, Hyuga Ichifei, who was in charge of guarding the gate, instantly showed hatred on his face.

His parents had unfortunately died in the tragic Nine-Tails Rebellion, so he was filled with unrelieved resentment for Naruto, who was carrying the power of the demon fox.

"This is not a place for people like you to step into! Get out of here now!"

Hinata Yifei's eyes widened, he shouted fiercely, and tried to force Naruto to leave.

Faced with such rude treatment, Naruto's heart tightened and his brows slightly frowned.

Hearing the commotion at the door, a girl quietly stuck her head out to see what was going on.

"Lady Hinata, this guy is the reincarnation of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. You should go in quickly and don't get hurt by him!" Hinata

Yifei's expression immediately became nervous when he saw the girl. He thought that if Lady Hinata was accidentally hurt by Naruto, then his career would be over in the clan.

Naruto saw the girl, and his frown slowly relaxed.

He raised his hand, greeted the girl warmly, grinned and said,"Hinata, let's go out and play!"

When the girl saw the sunny Naruto, her smiling face turned red. She has always cared about this boy, and she doesn't know why, but she always feels that... he is a hard-working person who never gives up easily.

A memory instantly emerged in her mind

"If you don't want to do it, then don't just stand there and stare!"

"If you were the daughter of the Hyuga family, you would just roll your eyes!"

"Disgusting eyeballs, they must be monsters! Hahahaha……"

When she was bullied by others, the little Uzumaki Naruto ran into her sight.

It was Naruto who drove away the boys who bullied her. Although he looked clumsy, he was so brave.……

"Hinata-sama, please go in quickly, I will take care of this." When Hinata

Yifei saw Hinata coming out, more and more beads of sweat appeared on his face.

Hinata ignored him and greeted Naruto happily:"Naruto-kun, I am here!"
