Hokage Office.
"So troublesome."
Tsunade looked at the documents Shizune handed her, which were all key matters that needed to be handled.
"Lady Tsunade, those are just the priorities.
Quickly get familiar with the Hokage position.
There are still many more documents to process!"
Shikaku looked helpless.
That Satoru ran too fast.
And what did he mean by piling so many documents on him?
Even if he was the Chief Strategist, it wasn't a reason to treat him like the Hokage.
Tsunade was the fake Hokage, Shikaku was the real Hokage.
Tsunade: "You handle the documents. I still need to familiarize myself with Konoha's current affairs. I'll do it once I'm familiar."
When she would become familiar, she didn't know.
"Lady Tsunade, don't be lazy," Shizune reminded her from the side… Satoru had already returned to the Analysis Team, continuing to be its team leader.
Whether he had resigned from the Hokage position or not, the people in the Analysis Team felt the atmosphere was much more relaxed when they heard he was back as the team leader.
"Keep up the good work."
He left after saying that.
Returning to this position, he also had things to deal with.
He needed to compile the collected intelligence into a written report and submit it to Tsunade.
But this was just a Shadow Clone.
With his Chakra having grown significantly today, he could use Shadow Clone to do many things.
Nor did he have to worry about enemies suddenly appearing and him not having Chakra to fight them…
Unnamed mountain behind the Village.
"Nerve distribution."
Satoru placed his palm on the ground, and tree-branch-like nerves spread across the entire area at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Transfer."
His body began to blur, seemingly transforming into something indescribable.
Bang!
Then the Shadow Clone was destroyed, and the entire person disappeared, leaving only the nerves covering the ground.
On a tree trunk, Satoru's main body frowned as he watched.
"Transforming the body into a Chakra form and emerging from the areas covered by nerves.
This project is a bit difficult!"
After stepping down as Acting Hokage, Satoru had no goals other than his daily work.
His remaining goal was to strengthen himself so he could overpower an Ōtsutsuki when he encountered one.
The existence of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki made him work even harder.
What he wanted to research now was a Ninjutsu for rapid displacement.
Based on the Ninjutsu Contact Evolution, he would transform himself into a Chakra form in the areas covered by nerves and emerge from those areas.
Since Summoning Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique were not part of his system, he came up with a new direction.
To maintain his intellect in Chakra form, he used the method of Spiritualization Technique.
Soul control.
Anyway, there were many points involved.
But he already had a direction, and now that he was free, he had more time to research.
As for the forced execution stage, it was still quite far off… Training ground.
"Fifth Hokage?"
Konohamaru's eyes narrowed when he heard Tenyu's news.
Then he relaxed again: "I don't care about her. I need to keep getting stronger to protect the Village."
Konohamaru no longer felt anything about the succeeding Hokage.
Now he only wanted to get stronger.
"That's Lady Tsunade, One of the Sannin, you're not curious?"
Maki asked from the side.
The legendary Ninja.
"Hmph, I'll become a legend too in the future."
Konohamaru was very confident.
As he spoke, the Chakra in his hand was like taffy, molded into various shapes.
He had learned a lot from Satoru.
Now, facing Tenyu, he was confident he wouldn't lose again… Hokage Inauguration Ceremony.
Tsunade wore the Hokage hat, facing numerous Ninja and residents.
A gentle breeze blew past.
She took off the hat representing the Hokage.
"I am the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.
From now on, I will protect the Village."
Her eyes were firm.
There was no hint of her usual desire to drink and gamble during office hours.
"That's great, the Fifth Hokage is back."
"So beautiful."
"As expected of the legendary female Ninja.
I want to become like her someday."
Below, many residents and some Ninja had eyes full of admiration.
Especially among the female Ninja.
Tsunade was their goal.
For example, Tenten was incredibly excited the moment Tsunade appeared.
Beside her, Might Guy, Neji, Lee, and others were also swept up in the atmosphere.
Their hearts swelled with emotion.
"This is the Fifth Hokage!"
Tenyu and Maki followed Satoru, looking up at Tsunade with curiosity in their eyes.
Mki looked at her magnificent chest, realizing this was what the legendary female Ninja was like.
She wanted to be like that too in the future.
Satoru: "Yes, she'll be the Fifth Hokage from now on, so don't call me that anymore."
It was a nostalgic scene.
He was there when the Fourth Hokage was inaugurated, he was there when the Third Hokage was reinstated, and now he was there for the Fifth Hokage's inauguration.
He would probably be there for the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Hokage, and so on, too.
Satoru thought to himself.
"In my heart, Father will always be the Hokage."
Tenyu said earnestly.
"No, I don't want to be Hokage, it's boring." Satoru stopped him…
The Fifth Hokage's ascension to power.
Konoha returned to its former peace.
Vibrant vitality brought new hope to Konoha.
Satoru spent most of his time with his family and researching Ninjutsu.
At the same time, he kept an eye out for the possible appearance of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
It was as if everything had returned to that peaceful era.
But some people didn't think so.
The Shimura Clan's territory.
"Hmph, only when the Hokage position is in my hands can Konoha truly prosper."
Danzo Shimura was expressionless, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He hadn't expected Jiraiya to actually bring that woman back, ruining his preparations.
According to his intelligence, how could Tsunade possibly return with Jiraiya?
He had originally planned to wait for Jiraiya to fail his mission, then seize the opportunity to remove Satoru from his position as Acting Hokage, and then find a way for the Daimyo to appoint him as Hokage.
Unexpectedly, he still failed in the end.
"Indeed, one cannot place hope on others."
Danzo felt his eyes.
He still gave up the idea of controlling Tsunade.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures suddenly appeared.
"Lord Danzo, this is the intelligence on the code adjustments for each department."
They handed him a scroll.
In order to obtain the Hokage position, Danzo naturally had to understand Konoha's various mechanisms.
And intelligence on Ninja codes and other aspects naturally had to be in his hands.
This was the basis for him to achieve various operations.
This time, Satoru's acting as Hokage and Tsunade's succession as the Fifth Hokage had both led to certain adjustments in the codes.
The codes he had been familiar with before now felt strange to Danzo.
Taking the intelligence, Danzo opened it and began to read.
"Hmph, do they think this can restrict me, or is the goal to restrict spies from other Villages?"
Danzo looked at the intelligence.
He found that there had indeed been significant changes.
Fortunately, he was clever and did not continue to operate according to past behavior, but instead investigated the intelligence first.
Satoru was indeed a difficult fellow to deal with.
