Tsunade was very satisfied with the girl's quick answer, and the expression on his face relaxed: "Very well, I will judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons. I really didn't see the wrong person."

The Fifth Hokage, who has not officially taken office, stood up, with his right hand on the table, his left hand on his waist, and his bent body facing the snow, he said with a smile: "I will give you two years, during which time I will assign various tasks Here you go, train yourself well, learn how to manage the team, and give me the ability to be the team leader within two years."

"learn!"

"Mute." Tsunade called out.A woman with short hair walked in holding a chubby piglet.

"Master Tsunade, you call me."

"Well, please take Anbu over there to get a blood sample."

After ordering to mute, Tsunade, who was still majestic just now, saw the person paralyzed on the table, and shouted without image, "Ah! There are so many documents and personnel that have not been read! I don't want to do it anymore!"

"The subordinates are still watching! Cheer up, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune hurriedly helped up Tsunade who had turned into slime.

"Give me a drink tonight, I've worked so hard..."

"I know, I know."

Shizune frantically cheered Tsunade up again, and led Yuki out of the office, who was still unable to digest the situation.

"Huoyue, right? I'm Shizune, Tsunade-sama's disciple, and a medical ninja. From now on, I'll be in charge of your blood research. Let's get along well." The piglet in Shizune's arms also Followed by a strange cry.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

After drawing two tubes of blood, Yuki bid farewell to Shizune and returned to the assembly room. Under the gossip of his teammates, he just ignored the conversation with Tsunade on the grounds of the confidentiality code.

Kujo patted Xue on the shoulder guiltily, and said, "Sorry, Huoyue, it seems that you can't continue your rare vacation, and there are still not enough people to prepare for the succession ceremony of Master Fifth."

"I understand, sub-captain." Snow nodded. The transition of bosses is often a busy and chaotic period, especially when the succession of Hokage happens to be when the village's combat readiness is weakest. Not only must guard against external forces, It is also necessary to guard against internal conflicts.

"It's still the most worry-free for you." Sighing, he patted Xue Xue's fleshless shoulder a few more times, and Jiujo turned his head and devoted himself to the endless work.

There is no way to go back and help Kakashi-sensei get ready to leave the hospital.While thinking about it, Xue set up her equipment and started her mission with her teammates.

Running on the road outside the village, the ninja walked briskly, and when his eyes just caught an afterimage, he had jumped ten meters away.The figure of the girl shuttled through the forest, mobilizing the chakra in the blood vessels and moving like the wind.

The task this time was only to convey the news about the fifth generation's appointment, and only Akiyama and Snow, who were the fastest in the unit, were sent to perform it together.Both of them have a quiet personality. They were silent all the way and rushed to their destination at a very fast speed.

After delivering all the notification documents, Anbu, who was running all the way, finally got a short rest time, and found a dark corner in the bustling city to sit down and recover his strength.

"The sub-leader's order is to rush back to the village before the inauguration ceremony tomorrow." Xue drank water, and relayed the task order to Qiu Shan who was stuffing dry food into his mouth, "We can rest for half an hour according to the speed."

"I really think of us." After swallowing the dry and tasteless dry food with clear water, Qiushan leaned on his knees and looked at Xue, who was still on alert even though he was resting, and said, "Go to sleep first, and I will watch over it."

Xue nodded, her physical strength was not as good as that of Qiushan, so this arrangement was indeed the most suitable, so she closed her eyes without hesitation.

Closing her eyes and immersing herself in the darkness, Xue likes to let go of her brain when she is half asleep and half awake, allowing herself to think as she pleases.

Counting the time, it has been a while since I entered the team, and both the team leader and teammates have given me some consideration.It's not that excessive accommodating makes people feel that they have underestimated themselves, but they always give appropriate help at the right time.

For example, Akiyama's vigilance, Kujo's care, Kinoshita's chat, even Tsuruta, who was broken up because of distrust at the beginning, now just takes over this troublesome job out of the mentality of a protector, and the newcomer Kanna is older than Yuki In daily life, I can also give a few words to this young girl who doesn't know much about the world.As if he had really become their younger sister, the older brothers stretched out their hands to help the girl from time to time while watching the girl's growth.

family.

With this strange vocabulary constantly lingering in her heart, the girl's originally dim heart first walked into a Kakashi, and then rushed in with the seventh squad noisily, and the teammates of the sub-team also walked into this small place involuntarily. Small side garden.

It seems that surrounding Kakashi, there are constantly colorful people and things breaking through the snow-thick heart defense like flowing water, filling the black and white world.

The rest time always passed quickly, and before Akiyama woke up the girl who seemed to have fallen asleep, the mask on the opposite side was raised on time like an alarm clock.

"It's time?"

"Actually, you can rest for a while, there is time."

Xue shook his head, stood up and patted the dust on his legs: "I am not physically strong, and the second half may drag you down." Xue knew that Qiushan slowed down specially to cooperate with her when she came, but It's done very cleverly.

"Actually, I hope to come back later, so that I can skip work openly and not have to participate in the security work of the ceremony." Akiyama replied nonchalantly.

"The team leader will punish you for working overtime, Senior Akiyama."

"Although this is true, why won't you be punished?"

"Because you are the team leader."

Akiyama held his mask helplessly and said: "Huoyue, you are really becoming more and more like a leader. Maybe you will be the next captain of our team."

"I'm still far away." Readying the weapons on her body and making sure everything was safe, Xue had to strictly follow the procedures every time she set out on a mission, which was so rigid that it was difficult for people to get used to.

"I can't say for sure. The captain of the branch is almost at the age of quitting the Anbu team. Seeing that none of the people in our branch are suitable for leading the team, you should be decent." Akiyama is also ready to go, "But Compared with a team leader who is airborne, we are all convinced by you leading the team."

"Huh?" Xue was quite surprised, after all, Akiyama was the most critical player in the team, no matter who he was, he would be picked on by his poisonous tongue.It is unbelievable that he who joined the team at the latest is actually his most promising candidate for the team leader.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm not flattering you. Although you usually look stupid, as long as you perform tasks, whether it's the grasp of the situation or the analysis of the situation, you can see that you have been trained for a long time, and you can quickly choose the most suitable one. effective strategy.

The most important thing for a team is not the strength of the leader, but the ability to command the team to complete the task with the least cost is the key.The rest of the team have more or less problems of one kind or another, but you are the most average and stable, so I think you are the most suitable to be the team leader. What you lack is experience and common sense of society. "Akiyama said a long string of words sincerely, which made Xue wonder if it was Kinoshita's transformation technique in front of her.

"Then I have to work harder. After I become the team leader, I can direct the seniors to work overtime." Xue, who was happy in her heart, changed her serious appearance and joked with Akiyama.

"Let's forgive me."

The two chatted and laughed, then took a step and ran towards Konoha, leaving only a cloud of dust and smoke.After rushing all the way, Xue finally saw the gate of Konoha before the light of day. Today is the day to officially usher in the Fifth Hokage, and the village is already full of busy figures early in the morning.

Although the succession ceremony was rushed due to various reasons and many procedures were omitted, the villagers were overjoyed to finally have a backbone after the war, so they ignored the insufficient details.

Some people are happy and some are dissatisfied.When Yuki and Akiyama went to Hokage's office to report, they happened to meet Danzo, the former boss who came out, and his gloomy face didn't seem to be the right time to say hello.

"Master Danzo." However, Xue still politely gave way and saluted.

"It's you." Danzo looked at the cat-faced Anbu with his head down, and the corners of his drooping mouth raised unnaturally, "You did well in Anbu, as expected of me, even if it's a 'failure'. useful."

"Thank you for your teaching." Xue didn't seem to understand the meaning of the words, she still replied in a calm manner.

"I'm looking forward to your future development." With an ambiguous smile, Danzo walked away slowly with Xue Yuan's root colleagues.

Akiyama secretly looked at Xue who raised her head aside, her mask concealed her expression, but the girl seemed to be thinking about something.

"Are you okay?"

"..." Thinking was interrupted, Xue suddenly realized that Akiyama was asking herself, "Huh? It's all right."

"Don't worry too much about it." Akiyama thought the girl was in a bad mood because of the irony from her former boss, and comforted her.

"No..." There was something in Danzo's words that made Xue feel that she seemed to have forgotten something very important, but she couldn't remember it anyway, "Probably I was overthinking."

After reporting the task, the two went back to the assembly room to take over the new task from Kujo before they had a good rest, and got busy for the smooth progress of the succession ceremony.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage has become a topic of conversation among the villagers of Konoha Village at night. The bustle of the day continues until after sunset. The commercial street is decorated with lights and festoons, and people are discussing today's simple but solemn ceremony. .

And the Anbu, who had finally finished their mountain-like work, was paralyzed in the assembly room, unable to move.Jiujo walked into the room holding a document, and greeted the team members: "Be happy, I have good news."

"Another mission? I can't do it anymore...Squad leader..." Kinoshita was lying on the bench, looking like he was exhausted.

"In view of your hard work recently, I have won a one-day collective rotation opportunity, and tomorrow we can all take a day off."

This really good news made the people who were already depressed jump up like chicken blood, and they were excited around Jiutiao.

"Squad leader is wise! It's great that I can go to Remi tomorrow!" Kinoshita completely lost the decadence before, and danced with energy.

"Ah... I can rest now..." A smile appeared on Kanna's overworked face, it seemed that she was really exhausted.

Akiyama and Tsuruta continued to sit on the stools indifferently, watching Mu La holding Jiu Tiao's hands and playing tricks.

Xue was also excited, and finally had the opportunity to go to the teacher. I don't know how he recovered after being discharged from the hospital.

After disbanding, Yuki changed into her private clothes and walked on the commercial street where Konoha was still brightly lit. The big hood hid the girl's eyes looking around.

What kind of condolences should I buy to celebrate the teacher's discharge from the hospital?

The inexperienced Xue had a difficult time, maybe it would be better to ask someone with experience for advice.Thinking of this, Yuki bought some desserts and knocked on the door of Sakura's house.

Seeing the hooded girl standing outside the door, Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up, and she dragged Xue into her room without saying a word.

"Xiaoxue, are you planning to attack tomorrow?"

"What?" Snow, who was frightened by Sakura's sudden question, couldn't understand the situation at all, and could only stand there with a dull expression.

"Oh, it's still the familiar elm bump." Sakura lowered her head in frustration and sighed, "To celebrate Lord Godaime's succession, Konoha will hold a festival tomorrow! Don't you know?"

"……do not know……"

"Then do you know what the ceremony means?"

Xue, who has never participated in amateur activities, honestly shook her head. For her, holidays only mean working overtime for security.

"I really lost to you..." Sakura sat on the bed, instilling the basic common sense of girls into Xue, "Festivals are a good opportunity to develop relationships. It's rare to dress up cutely in front of the person you like. There's no better opportunity to eat and have fun together!"

"Oh……"

Seeing Xue still half-understanding, Sakura helplessly covered her forehead and sighed: "Anyway, tomorrow I will invite everyone from class [-] to participate in the festival under the pretext of the group activities of the team! Kakashi-sensei I will go too, you have to work hard."

"come on?"

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you, anyway, come and find me tomorrow morning! It takes a lot of time for a girl to dress up." Intimidated by Sakura's terrifying expression, Xue repeatedly nodded to express her understanding, and before she could speak, she was caught by Xiaoying. Sakura pushed out the door.

"Okay, go back and rest quickly, take good care of your skin, and I have to make a plan to go to the festival with Sasuke. Be sure to come early tomorrow!" After saying that, the door of Sakura's house was closed, Xue looked at the closed It was only then that Menfei remembered that he seemed to have come to ask what kind of condolences he should give.

Look at the sky, the stars are blinking playfully, like countless candies hanging on the night.Xue ran back to her monotonous dormitory under the starry sky, inexplicably looking forward to the arrival of the next day.

"Festival...?"
