Chapter 552 I'll take you to eat ramen
As the setting sun casts its rays, the country roads seem particularly quiet and leisurely.
On the way back to Konoha from the Land of Whirlpools, one naturally had to pass many such field paths, and could also see many farmers on both sides, bending over to plant rice seedlings.
The Third Hokage walked in front wearing a bamboo hat.
Behind him, Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi followed on his left and right.
"Kakashi!"
Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen in front stopped abruptly and spoke with emotion.
"Lord Hokage!"
Kakashi was startled and responded quickly.
"Perhaps, I should consider the new candidate for Hokage."
Sighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in an inexplicable tone.
He was indeed old, and this battle had taught him a lesson. Whether it was physical strength, energy, or power, he seemed no longer able to match others.
The only thing worth mentioning is the experience gained from fighting throughout his life.
"Oh?"
Hatake Kakashi blinked but didn't comment.
In his mind, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha had nothing to do with him, nor was it something he should consider.
"If you were to choose the Fifth Hokage, who do you think would be the best fit?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked softly.
His tone was casual, as if he had thought of this and asked.
"what?"
Kakashi was stunned.
Is this the kind of major issue he should think about? Compared to him, Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, seems to be the one who has more say.
Asuma looked up at him but said nothing, obviously having no interest in the topic.
He saw with his own eyes how his father worked hard all his life in this position.
To him, the position of Hokage was really a very troublesome thing and not worth the slightest interest.
"I want to consider you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said immediately.
This time, Kakashi was completely stunned.
He, the Fifth Hokage?!
Then, his expression changed drastically.
"Absolutely not, Hokage-sama!"
"Compared to me, Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade among the three ninjas are more qualified!"
"Whether it's reputation or strength, I'm not qualified at all!"
Kakashi waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, and even took a few steps back in fear.
Naruto!
It sounds like a very troublesome position! Who would want to do that?
What's more, with his current status, he is not suitable to be the Hokage.
"You learned from that man, Kakashi. I'm afraid your strength is far more than what it seems on the surface!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said meaningfully.
Kakashi froze and fell silent.
The teacher's strength is obvious. He alone defeated the combined strength of the five Kage. It can be said that he has stood at the top of the ninja world.
"His three disciples, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko, all performed brilliantly in this war that is about to end!"
"And you, it seems, are their junior fellow apprentice!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion.
He turned his head slowly, his old eyes falling on Kakashi.
"You shouldn't always hide yourself, Kakashi!"
"Young people always have to be sharp."
After a pause, he smiled again.
"Even when I was young, I earned the title of Doctor Ninja."
Hearing this, Kakashi shrugged helplessly: "I'm sorry, Third-generation master, what I can do is exactly what I have shown so far."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, then he sighed: "Really?"
"It seems that I am overthinking."
He shook his head, turned around and continued walking forward.
What I just said was not meant to test Kakashi or anything else.
The future of Konoha needs the younger generation, not an old guy like him who is old and frail and is still guarding the position of Hokage.
If he didn't have such breadth of mind and foresight, he wouldn't be worthy of sitting on the throne of Hokage.
Maybe, in the past few years, there was still some desire for power, some ambition to be a Hokage, but as time passed, such thoughts had long since disappeared.
He had already understood his responsibilities as a Hokage.
Protecting Konoha and the people of this village is his duty as the Hokage.
Kakashi was once a famous genius, and he had been a disciple of Xia Le since he was a child, so he possessed powerful strength.
Although he has remained unknown since then, if you look at his mission records, you will get a surprising message.
That is the other party's task completion rate, which is almost 100%.
Only Shuo Mao could achieve such an excellent result back then.
Therefore, the Third Hokage knew that the opponent's strength was far more than what it seemed. Strictly speaking, he was already at the level of a Kage.
In other words, as the times change, Kakashi has already met the requirements to become a Kage.
Among the younger generation, only the other party is the most mature and powerful.
As for his other two apprentices, Jiraiya had eccentric, undisciplined and free-spirited personalities, and was not suitable to be Hokage at all.
It's Tsunade though.
The three generations fell into deep thought.
But Tsunade also has weaknesses. As a Hokage, although she is the descendant of Hashirama Senju, the current Princess Senju is not particularly powerful.
The strange fist is very powerful, but the up-and-coming ones have caught up.
All I can say is that as a princess of the Senju clan, she is suitable for the position of Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered and he was constantly thinking.
He is indeed old, and it is time to consider a successor.
After Minato Namikaze, he has been carrying this position for a long time. Now, the young generation is also growing up.
Even his own son, Asma, is now almost a calm, middle-aged man.
"Ugh!"
After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh.
The rise of the Rain Country further highlighted Konoha's shortcomings, causing him, the Hokage, to feel extremely complicated.
But fortunately, after the Six Kage Summit, the world ushered in a brief era of peace.
Konoha, there's still time! ——
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Le has been back to Yuyin Village for half a month.
The conclusion of the Six Kage Summit confirmed the new status of the Rain Country, which has become one of the six major countries.
As the Rain Shadow, Uchiha Fugaku is now in high spirits and has a permanent smile on his face.
In the past half month, he has been redeploying the territory of the Rain Kingdom.
Eight large and major cities were built based on the original foundation.
Each of these eight major cities plans to establish a ninja academy and recruit students widely.
Develop education and work hard on infrastructure, this is what Fugaku will do next.
"Population, area, and resources have all skyrocketed!"
"This war has achieved a complete victory!"
Fugaku was excited.
"Next, let's increase the number of standing ninjas to 10,000 as quickly as possible, so that we can be on par with the five great nations!"
This is the future that can be seen with the naked eye.
Because the conditions for recruiting students to the Hidden Rain Village's Ninja Academy are definitely the most relaxed and tolerant among all the hidden villages.
As long as there is no problem with one's background, one is qualified to practice ninjutsu and enter to study.
Moreover, the Hidden Rain Village recruits all kinds of ninjas.
For example, there are ninjutsu ninjas who are good at practicing chakra, there are physical ninjas who are good at kendo, and there are samurai who are good at kendo.
This would greatly expand the types of ninjas.
The Rain Country is undertaking massive construction and entering into post-war reconstruction work, and everything is proceeding in full swing.
Xia Le had already returned to his yard. At this moment, he was looking at Kimimaro and Bai who were practicing not far ahead. His face was a little dazed, as if he was in a daze about something.
"Why did you come out so quickly?"
He said in a daze.
In front of me, I saw a line of glowing words, quietly stopping there.
"Wealth, fame, power, strength, these things that you have worked so hard to get, are you willing to give them up?"
"Then, start a new life that belongs to you?"
The choices that had appeared in the pirate world were now placed before him again.
Moreover, Xia Le soon discovered new differences.
This time, the choice did not disappear, but had a hide button. When he was not ready to make a choice, it would hide itself.
When a choice is needed, it will come out and wait for confirmation.
"Don't I have to wait another hundred years?"
"This is good news!"
Xia Le breathed a sigh of relief.
He could not forget that in the world of pirates, he had to wait for hundreds of years before a new choice came.
The Rain Country is just rising now, and he would like to see what kind of achievements it can achieve as it grows slowly.
Moreover, he also wanted to see the Datongmu clan with his own eyes.
"It should be, not far away!"
Xia Le murmured.
The Rain Country is developing rapidly, and the entire ninja world has entered a temporary period of peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the 60th year of Konoha.
The sun shines warmly on the streets, and everything looks warm.
But a noisy, disdainful voice soon rang out.
"Get away from him!"
"Yoko, he's a monster!"
"Get away from me, you stinky fox! Stay away from my child!"
A voice mixed with fear, disgust, and anger was heard.
As everyone looked forward, they saw a lonely and desolate figure slowly coming into view.
It was a child of about ten years old, with golden hair, six whisker-like lines on his face, and azure blue eyes.
The child walked forward alone, seeming to be accustomed to the insults in his ears.
"And that Uchiha brat, you are both a nuisance to the village!"
"It should have been dealt with earlier."
A mean female voice sounded.
The blond child's expression changed slightly, and the fist hidden in his sleeve slowly clenched.
"Okay, stop talking!"
"I'm not wrong. Your parents and my parents all died that night!"
The woman screamed angrily.
The man sighed and closed the door tightly.
The blond child had a blank expression on his face, and his clenched fists loosened as the sound disappeared.
He didn't know where the hatred towards him came from among the people in the village.
Only by trying your best can you gain the recognition of others.
Because he had almost no friends since he was a child. Even with Sasuke, he didn't know if he could be considered a friend.
Because the other person is very different from yourself.
That aloof and cold child was a famous genius in the Ninja School, while he himself was a well-known laggard.
The two are at two extremes and it is impossible for them to be friends.
Only because both parties have similar family backgrounds can he sometimes understand the desolate and lonely expression on the other's face.
Only then will he understand the other person's psychology and think that they are actually the same kind of people.
Just as I was thinking about it, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of me.
The child didn't notice and bumped into the other person's legs.
"Ah, it hurts!"
It was clearly his legs, but he felt as if he had hit a wall. Due to the reaction force, he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
He quickly raised his head, and what he saw was a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and loose clothes.
"You have to watch where you're walking, kid."
A gentle, smiling voice came.
This was different from the harsh and sharp tone of the previous second. The child was stunned for a moment and felt inexplicably warm.
"Yes, sorry!"
The child hurriedly got up and apologized.
Then, he took this opportunity to secretly look at the other person.
"you are?"
"I'm a businessman who came to Konoha to do business!"
"Just right."
As he spoke, the man took off the hat on his head, revealing a handsome, young face.
Her black hair was simply tied up and tied behind her head.
"Can you tell me where the Uchiha clan lives now?"
"Their former clan land seems to have been destroyed!"
The man's laughter was very gentle, which made the children enjoy it very much.
Because no one would ever speak in this tone.
"Uchiha clan?"
"Is this Sasuke's house?"
"Of course I know!"
The child was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded.
"That couldn't be better!"
"Can you tell me your name? I'd like to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude!"
The man said with a smile.
"Really? My name is Uzumaki Naruto!"
"If possible, I want to eat my favorite Ichiraku Ramen!"
Naruto said excitedly.
Xia Le couldn't help but smile as he looked at Naruto who was about to jump up.
After all, he is still a child, although there is a tailed beast living in his body, which is considered the strongest in the entire ninja world.
And just as his eyes fell on Naruto, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox sealed in his body suddenly felt a breath of coldness and fear.
"This breath!"
"It's a little familiar, it's disgusting!"
"Who is the one?"
Kyuubi murmured.
He couldn't help but shrink.
Because of the seal, he couldn't see the situation outside through the little ghost's body, so he couldn't judge what was happening in the outside world.
However, as time goes by, the seal will become loosened by its efforts, and then it can use the little ghost's body.
"of course can!"
Xia Le smiled, put his right hand on the other person's head and pressed it down.
Well, the feeling is somewhat similar to that of the other person’s father back then.
For a moment, Xia Le was a little dazed.
He remembered his first meeting with Minato Namikaze.
At that time, Minato seemed to be about the same age as the other person.
"Let's go, Naruto!"
"I'll take you to eat ramen!"
