Awakening a substitute in Naruto World

As the spring breeze blows, the ice and snow gradually melt.Konoha ushered in a new year.

This New Year Konoha seems to be full of vitality, because at the beginning of this new year, Konoha signed an armistice agreement with the three ninja villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure!Ended a long war.

As for the Kirigakure Village, they have not expressed their stance and have maintained a confrontation with Konoha, but relatively, the scale of the battle has been much smaller.

However, even if Kirigakure wants to contend with Konoha alone now, it is a fantasy!

Konoha has mobilized all external combat forces back to the village. Although Konoha is said to be in dire straits, if the ninja village still wants to continue the war, Konoha will not be afraid of anyone!

The period of peace has arrived early. Although the bloody storm on the surface is over, the undercurrent will never stop!

……

"Good morning, Brother Yimu."

Seeing Kuqiu Kazuki coming out of the room, Naze Shinmei happily greeted him.

"Ha~ Good morning."

Kongqiu Yimu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It looks like you didn't sleep well. Did you do something again last night?"

Seeing that Kuqiu Kazuki still looked a little sleepy, Naze Shinmei couldn't help but asked curiously.

"No, as you know, I have been very quiet these past few months, but just yesterday, something happened that excited me."

"Oh?"

"look!"

As he spoke, a layer of light condensed in Kongqiu Yimu's hand.

"Is this...the ripple you told me about one day?"

Naze Shinmei used her watery eyes to observe the ripples on Kuqiu Kazuki's hand.

"That's right! After these few months of practice, I have successfully learned the ripple technique! Although I am still a novice in the ripple technique, I believe that if I spend more time practicing, I will definitely be able to master it! "

"Congratulations! As a celebration, let's have beef noodles in the morning!"

"Okay, I'm quite reassured by Xin Mei's craftsmanship!"

"Why do I feel that what you are saying is a bit strange, Brother Yimu?"

"Have it?"

……

After a while, Naze Shinmei served two steaming bowls of beef noodles, and Kuangqiu Kazuki also finished washing and came to the table.

While eating, Naze Shinmei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at Kuqiu Kazuki.

"By the way! Brother Ichiki, there will be a speech in the Hasikura Jonin's office building later. I heard that all the senior officials of Konoha will attend. It seems that there is something important to announce."

"Oh? Then it seems like I have to go take a look."

"Brother Yimu, what do you think it will be?"

"I don't have a clue. I can just go and see it when the time comes."

"Ok."

……

After eating, seeing that the time was almost up, Kuangqiu Kazuki took Naze Shinmei to the Hasikura Building.

"Hey, it feels a little strange."

On the way, Naze Shinmei suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Kongqiu Yimu looked at her doubtfully.

"It seems like it's my first time to go out with Brother Yimu."

The girl said with a smile.

"Yes, but... doesn't this also mean that we have gradually become a family?"

"I wouldn't have thought that a few months ago..."

"Don't keep reminiscing about the past when you're walking. You have to look at the road ahead, otherwise you'll get bumped easily."

"Brother Yimu's words seem to have other meanings."

"It depends on how understanding you are."

"Humph!"

The girl chuckled, and then she seemed to notice something: "Brother Yimu, straighten your waist."

"what happened?"

"Just do it!"

"Ok?"

Kongqiu Yimu straightened his back with some confusion.

"Brother Yimu...I feel like you've grown taller?"

"Please, isn't it normal for me to grow taller when I'm growing up? Aren't you growing taller too?"

Kongqiu Yimu said with shame.

"But you're growing too fast, right? I feel like you're already 1 meters tall! It's only been a few months. And you seem to be only 65 years old!"

"I have also heard that others are 12 meters tall at the age of 1.7. I can only say that they are growing too fast."

"I feel like Brother Yimu, you can grow very tall!"

"Then it depends on the food you cook, Xiaomei. If you are malnourished, no matter how good you are, it will be in vain."

"Then don't worry! By the way, Brother Ichimu, aren't you going to cut your hair? You can tie it up at the back!"

"Forehead?"

After being reminded by Naze Shinmei, Kuangqiu Kazuki realized that he hadn't cut his hair for a long time.

After touching it carefully, I found that what Naze Shinmei said was right, the hair at the back could indeed be tied up.

"I haven't paid attention to it yet. I'll go get my hair cut after listening to the speech later."

……

When we arrived at the branch building, it was already overcrowded.

After finally squeezing into the lecture room, the two found two adjacent empty seats and sat down.

At this time, a person happened to slowly walk up to the podium, it was Hasakura Nora!

"Good morning! Everyone! I am Jounin Hasakura Nora. It is an honor for everyone to be here today. In the new year, everyone's faces are filled with joy! Yes, the war is over!

After experiencing all kinds of difficulties and dangers, Konoha finally ushered in peace!Everyone can live happily and healthily in the village and live a contented day every day!

In your free time, you can have a meal with friends, drink some wine, play cards and so on.Fellow Hyuga clan members should not roll their eyes when playing cards! "

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hisakura Nora's words instantly made everyone burst into laughter.

……

After everyone's laughter subsided, Hasakura Nora continued with a smile:

"Today, everyone comes to the building named after Hasakura Nora, but the protagonist is not me! It's someone else!"

"Who is..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Please be quiet, everyone! Now we invite Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and Minato Namikaze, the golden shining star of Konoha, to come on stage!"

After saying that, Hasakura Nora took the lead in applauding.

Seeing this, everyone clapped their hands to welcome him.

The Third Hokage, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya stepped onto the podium amidst such applause.

Hasakura Nora also very wisely stepped down from the podium and made a "please" gesture for the Third Hokage to step forward.

……

Standing on the podium, the Third Hokage cleared his throat and began to say:

"After countless hardships and obstacles, Konoha has ushered in a peaceful spring, and everyone can spend every day peacefully. However, everyone must always remember not to enjoy yourself excessively!

Excessive laziness will stagnate civilization. In the old year, I also saw a phenomenon clearly!It is the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead!

The times will always move forward, but to make the times move forward, it is not enough just to rely on me as an old man!We need young people's help!

Everyone has their youthful years!But with time, all this will pass!

Many of you may already have children!Children will grow up too!They are the future of Konoha!The future of Konoha needs young people to support it!

I know that I am already old and feel powerless to do many things!While I was injured and hospitalized, I finally understood that my era has passed!Now is the time for young people!

Therefore, I plan to step down as Hokage!Officially choosing to retire! "

"what------"

There was an uproar in the audience.

The Third Hokage signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "But the position of Hokage is related to the future of Konoha, and it cannot be taken over by no one! Therefore, I plan to hold the selection of the next Hokage!

Being a Hokage does not necessarily require great strength. Only those who are recognized by everyone can become a Hokage!

So, I'm going to do a one-month Hokage election period!Everyone can vote for the person they think is suitable to be Hokage, and each person can only vote once!Please choose carefully!Because this is related to the future of Konoha!

In a month, I will publicly announce the person elected as Hokage on the terrace of the Hokage Building! "

……

"Then I must vote for Namikaze Jonin! He is the great hero of Konoha!"

"Yes, yes! Minato Jonin is extremely powerful!"

"I think you can vote now! Everyone wants to vote for Namikaze Jonin!"

"Hey, I think Jiraiya-sama is pretty good too!"

"Jiraiya-sama is too unruly sometimes! I see, Jiraiya-sama is a bit unprepared to be Hokage!"

"Eh? What about Orochimaru-sama?"

"Lord Orochimaru's scandals have spread all over Konoha without knowing it! Do you think Lord Hokage will let him participate in the election for Hokage!"

There were constant whispers in the audience.

……

"Sorry to interrupt! Hokage-sama!"

At this time, Hasakura Nora stepped forward and said to the Third Hokage.

"What's wrong?"

The Third Hokage looked at Hasakura Nora curiously.

"The so-called Hokage is to think about the village wholeheartedly. Only those who make the village "happy" are suitable to become Hokage!

I am not very qualified and may not be able to achieve results like that, but I have always had such a dream!Contribute to the village and your companions!

I am willing to dedicate all my life to this beautiful village!To this end, I will continue to learn and make progress!

I have been constantly accepting "trials" just for this moment!

I...want to run for Hokage! "

Hasakura Nora's speech was like an oath, which made everyone in the audience talk more and more!

"you……"

The Third Hokage frowned slightly.

……

"Seriously! I think Hasikura Jounin is also very good! He has always been thinking about the common people of Konoha! I think he is also very suitable to be Hokage!"

"Hey! I agree with this!"

"Yes! I think so too!"

"Me too! Me too! Hasikura Jounin has helped us civilian ninjas obtain a lot of benefits! If he becomes Hokage, won't everyone in the village have to die happily?"

"Yes! Support Hasekura Jonin's candidacy for Hokage!"

"me too!"

"me too!"

"Me too!"

……

"It seems like things are starting to get interesting! Nora Hasakura...is he finally going to take action?"

Kuqiu Kazuki stared at Hasakura Nora.

"Brother Yimu, what are you thinking about?"

Naze Shinmei noticed Kuqiu Kazuki's expression.

"The next month will be interesting!"

Kongqiu Yimu chuckled.
