My Hokage Journey

The Second Ninja World War has already been a phased victory for Konoha. The number of lost ninjas from the three parties of wind, fire and earth is enough to be weighed by hills. Even the most powerful Konoha Village cannot ignore this tragic data.

There were more people who got up early today. Even those who usually didn't like to go to bed had washed up early, had breakfast, and came to the square under the Hokage Rock.

The people who came were not only the family members of the sacrificed ninjas, but also all the ninjas of Konoha and some famous villagers. Today's occasion was extremely grand.

Standing on the small temporary stand in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face did not show excessive intensity or sadness, but when his soft eyes swept across the audience, many people couldn't help but shed tears.

Maybe he doesn't have the absolute strength of the first generation, maybe he doesn't have the decisiveness of the second generation, but he is the most popular Konoha leader.

Initially, Konoha was formed by the strong alliance of the two major families, Senju and Uchiha, and continued to accept many other families, such as the Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, Inokacho, etc.

After so many years, the seeds of Konoha began to change from generation to generation. Many old concepts gradually began to be replaced by new ones, and a new generation of ninjas rooted in the land of Konoha began to sprout.

Compared with the older generation's concept that a family is a family and a village is a village, Konoha is moving towards 'one Konoha'.

This feeling should be the effect that the first generation of adults has been pursuing from the beginning, and this is the Will of Fire.

While the thoughts of the third generation were flying, Lu Ming was standing below and looking at the dark scene around him. The heads were floating in the square like fish bladders. He couldn't help but sigh, there are too many people here. Some!

Looking not far away, behind the Third Hokage, all the important figures were all wearing black kimonos. Among them were his teacher Orochimaru, the Senju Princess Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

Standing on their left is Hatake Sakumo, the leader of the Hatake clan. His sharp edges and corners look like a majestic warrior, but today he also has a different kind of seriousness.

Standing on the right side of the two men were the heads of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, the two leaders of Konoha's giant families. Behind them were some small and medium-sized family heads.

"Yo!"

Shikaku said hello, and Minato and Kushina came hand in hand.

"Morning, Golden Flash." Lu Ming said with a smile. Due to Minato's outstanding performance on the battlefield, the title Golden Flash has been spread in advance.

"Hey, Konoha Green Light, aren't you recuperating at home?"

Lu Jiu's words left a drop of cold sweat on Lu Ming's forehead, and he said dryly.

"It's nothing, anyway. I feel like I'm getting rusty after staying at home for too long."

Minato was about to answer, but feeling the heavy atmosphere around him, he turned to a slightly bleak tone and said, "Speaking of which, Konoha really lost too many outstanding ninjas this time."

Shikaku nodded. Just the number of casualties in his family was already depressing. His father even made him drink some wine yesterday, with a look of sadness on his face.

But naturally, his mother found out that she actually made her underage son drink alcohol and gave him a direct ideological education for an hour.

A man as strong as his father can't stop a fierce creature like a woman.

Shikaku subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Kushina next to Minato, hey, behind the cuteness is the terror.

"It's not over yet, this battle has just begun..."

As Lu Ming sighed, the square suddenly became silent.

The four people looked up and saw the Third Hokage on the stage about to start speaking.

……

The speeches on the stage were carried out in an orderly manner, and many people in the audience changed from red eyes to firm eyes. This Konoha leader was using his unique power to infect the families of those who had lost their family members, close friends, and lovers.

Even Lu Ming, who looked at it with a critical heart, could only feel that he was the Hokage of Konoha. Such emotions could not be expressed without his deep love for Konoha. The speech was cliché, but it was true. To be honest, this man who has worked hard for Konoha for half his life is doing his best to spread his warmth at this moment, trying to cover the whole square.

By the end of the condolence speech, several familiar friends also appeared in their eyes.

"Since we meet today, why not go out for a meal together in the evening."

"Agree!" Zuo Ding responded with a smile and raised his chubby little hands.

"Then, Shengshu, Qian Shuo, come too." Lu Ming said to the two Thousand-Armed teenagers next to him.

"We're going too, are you sorry?"

"It doesn't matter, let's have some fun today, I'll treat you, that's settled!"

"I've counted a few, Lu Ming alone, Minato, Kushina, me, Choza, Haiichi, Qianshuo and Naoki, there are eight people in total. I guess we can only go to the barbecue restaurant to share a table. "

Shikaku's conclusion made Ding Zao smile even more happily. What food could be more attractive than grilled meat that exudes allure?

"Where's Mikoto, why don't you call her?" Minato asked in a strange voice. In his opinion, Lu Ming would never forget the most important person to him.

"I guarantee she will eat better than you." Lu Ming dismissed Minato without explanation.

Minato looked at the other person strangely and didn't ask any more questions.

……

The black night was sparsely dotted with a few neither bright nor dark stars, and the moon hung slanting high.

At the Konoha Barbecue Restaurant, friends were gathering, and there was constant laughter and laughter. There was also a singer newly invited by the owner of the barbeque restaurant to play and sing to add to the fun. The atmosphere was quite lively.

Plate after plate of fresh meat slices were brought out like water, and the two small tables with ovens were braving the heat waves, and they were already impatient.

"Ding Zuo, don't be so impatient, there are still many more."

"No matter how much it is, I can still eat it!" He exhaled a few mouthfuls of hot air, and then started chewing.

"Okay." Seeing the opponent's momentum, Lu Ming could only smile bitterly and turned his eyes to the side.

Next to her, Kushina was picking up a piece of meat, dipping it in the sauce, and tasting it in small sips. This weird behavior made Lu Ming chuckle, "Kushina, when did you become so polite? "

"I want you to take care of it!"

"Okay, okay, I don't care, you can eat and drink well!"

When Lu Ming said this, she didn't act like a gentle lady in front of Minato. She immediately returned to her true nature and started eating and drinking. Everyone smiled happily when they saw this.

"You guys eat first, I'm going to use the bathroom." After speaking, Lu Ming stood up and walked towards the corridor next to him.

Their box was set on the second floor. Standing in the corridor outside, you could admire the sparkling lake reflecting the bright moon.

The wind blowing from the water suddenly swept away the blush stained by the fire, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Ming leaned on the guardrail of the corridor with his hands, sighed suddenly, and then murmured to himself, "How come it's like a graduation party..."
