Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

Naruto didn't dare not give Kakashi face on such an occasion, so he sat down carefully. Kakashi glanced at everyone and said:

"Hokage-sama sacrificed, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the situation. I have already begun to strengthen the village's defense. Shikaku, you know the situation of the village best. Please pay more attention to the subsequent deployment."

"Well, I understand that, but the village always needs Kage, and we need to decide on someone who trusts Hokage as soon as possible."

As he said that, Shikaku turned to look at Jiraiya. Obviously, in Shikaku's opinion, the most suitable person for the position of Hokage in Konoha is Jiraiya. However, Jiraiya has no intention of becoming the Hokage and pretends to be confused. , nodded pretendingly.

"I will discuss with the elders and decide on the candidate for Hokage as soon as possible."

As he said that, Jiraiya cast his eyes on Kakashi, his eyes seeming to say, "I'm definitely not going to be Hokage, you should be the Hokage."

Kakashi also pretended not to understand and nodded in the same pretentious manner.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Jiraiya."

"Well, it's okay. After all, only when Naruto is chosen can I continue to collect materials."

Being such a smart person, Shikaku naturally understood that neither of them wanted to be Hokage, so he was a little disappointed, but it was not something he could decide.

The meeting was not long, and the most discussed matter was the defense of the village during this period. Basically, the three of them were talking. Naruto and the other two ANBU did not speak during the whole process, and they were just here to listen to the meeting.

After the meeting, everyone was about to leave to take charge of the overall situation, but Naruto quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"Well, please wait a moment, I have something to say."

"Huh? If you have anything to say, just tell me, Naruto."

"It's the Sand Ninja named Maki. He wants to leave Konoha to find the Kazekage's body and hopes to get permission."

Jiraiya and Shikaku looked at each other without saying anything, but Kakashi looked at Naruto with a strange expression.

"You have the final say on this kind of thing. Can't you just arrange it? What are you doing here?"

"Ah? I, I have the final say?"

Naruto was stunned. He never thought that one day he would have such a right. Kakashi realized that Naruto really didn't know and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"The Anbu responsible for defense are all your direct subordinates now, and the people in Hinata are all borrowed from you. Of course, you have the final say."

"Ah...then what should I do? I don't have any experience."

Naruto rubbed his nose in embarrassment and wanted to leave immediately, leaving Kakashi even more speechless.

"Now that Hokage-sama is gone, there is no way to issue a certificate. Just send him out of the village in person. They all know you."

"It's that simple?"

"Then what do you want?"

"No, it's okay. What about that? I'll leave first. You guys are busy. You guys are busy..."

Naruto stood up quickly and left the Konoha office as if running away. Shikaku smiled and shook his head.

"This ANBU captain is really unique. He is truly worthy of being your captain Kakashi."

"Shikaku, please stop teasing me. Although Naruto is the captain, he has never entered the ANBU gate. I asked him to go to the ANBU gate before, but he just refused to go."

"Hahahaha! It's really eye-opening for me that the captain should be like this, but I heard that he single-handedly subdued the out-of-control One-Tail today, and he also seemed to have used an ice shield? I remember that he was the blood successor of the Kingdom of Water. Boundaries, right?”

Kakashi shrugged, he had already thought of his words on this matter.

"I met the Ice Shield Ninja when I took him on a mission before. It seems that I learned it at that time. You know Naruto's life experience very well, don't you?"

"Of course, there is no problem with his life experience. I'm just a little curious. Can you learn ice shield just by meeting an ice shield ninja once? This kind of thing is simply unbelievable. Even your Sharingan can't do it. Such a thing?"

"Yeah, I'm surprised too, but it's always a good thing."

On the other side, as soon as Naruto came out of the Hokage Building, he saw Ma Ji, who had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Naruto coming out, Ma Ji immediately greeted him.

"How is it? Can I leave Konoha?"

"Ah! Yes, you can leave now. I will take you out of the village myself. Can you go alone? Where are the three people?"

The "those three people" mentioned by Naruto were naturally Gaara and the others. Maki's face changed slightly and he shook his head.

"Gaara's injury is too serious and he still needs treatment. Temari and Kankuro have to accompany him. It's enough for me to go alone."

"Okay, when will we leave? Should we go elsewhere now?"

"If I can leave now, I'd better leave now."

"Let's go then."

Naruto brought Maki to the gate of Konoha. He didn't know what Kakashi had arranged. The people holding the door had been replaced by ANBU. It was no wonder that Kakashi asked Naruto to send people off.

Seeing Naruto, the two Anbu guarding the door bowed their heads and bowed to Naruto. Naruto asked Maggi to leave without being blocked or questioned. Everything went very smoothly.

After sending Maki off, Naruto finally finished his work and immediately ran home to rest.

The next day, it was raining lightly and the sky was very gloomy. Most of the people in Konoha gathered at the cemetery to mourn the Hokage who sacrificed his life for the village.

Naruto's heart also felt a little sad in this atmosphere, and he mourned with others. After the memorial ceremony, many people still stayed here and were reluctant to leave, but Naruto was not one of them. , ran away as soon as the ceremony was over.

Naruto walked to a bridge and leaned on the fence with his elbows, watching the rain fall into the river and create countless ripples.

"Why did you come here?"

Kakashi's voice suddenly sounded, and Naruto turned around and saw Kakashi. Kakashi came over holding an umbrella and gave half of the umbrella to Naruto.

"not in a good mood?"

"That's right. Who dares to be in a good mood on this day?"

"That's true, but life always has to move forward, just like this river. When the water flows away, it flows away, and it will never flow back."

Naruto smiled, propped his chin up on his hand and looked at Kakashi with interest.

"Don't tell me that you came here just to enlighten me. The old man is dead, and there are many people more sad than me. It's not my turn to enlighten me."

"Well, I quite approve of your endurance. I came to you because I have something to tell you. The candidate for the new Hokage has been decided."

"Huh? Who is it? It can't be you, right? You came here to show off to me, right?"

Naruto looked at Kakashi with a smirk, and Kakashi immediately rolled his eyes.

"It's not me, it's Princess Tsunade, one of the three ninjas. I will go with Master Jiraiya tomorrow to find Princess Tsunade and become Hokage. I'm here to tell you in advance. After all, Konoha's defense is now yours. Responsible."

It was expected that Tsunade would become the Fifth Hokage, but it was Kakashi and Jiraiya who went to find him together, which was a big surprise to Naruto.
