Chapter 249 Hokage Kakashi, 5550 Becomes the 5th Hokage
"Hokage! Hokage! Kakashi-sensei is going to become the Fifth Hokage! That's amazing! No wonder he's Guy-sensei's lifelong rival. Oh ho ho, this is the great, passionate youth!"
Xiao Li roared with burning excitement, and even the gloomy sky above seemed to be infected by it, as the rain receded, the clouds dissipated, and dazzling sunlight shone down on the earth.
"Kakashi, you bastard, you bastard..." Beside him, Might Guy was also in a daze, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked up several times.
Although he knew about this during the meeting last night, and he also voted for Kakashi.
But the thought that his former rival, with whom he used to play around, would soon become the Fifth Hokage, a figure who would intimidate nations and lead Konoha, filled Guy with a deep sense of loss despite his best wishes.
From now on, he will lose the opponent who once fought him recklessly and without restraint!
It's not that he can't continue to challenge Hokage Kakashi, but as a close friend, he has to help Kakashi uphold the dignity of the Hokage.
"No, I have to take advantage of the time I still have to launch my fifty-second challenge. This will be the last memory Kakashi and I will have to commemorate our youth." Suddenly, Might Guy snapped out of his daze, rushed forward, grabbed Kakashi, and pulled him away.
This guy probably needs a good, satisfying fight to release his stress!
“Gai, you…” As his best friend, Kakashi knew exactly what Gai was thinking.
But he really doesn't need it now! With Ishikawa's suggestion and Hana's bold comfort last night, he is now in a good mood and feels no pressure at all about becoming Hokage.
Forget it, let's just consider it one last time going crazy with Kai and give him some emotional comfort!
"Alright, everyone. This matter has been decided, and there's no need to discuss it any further. There are many places in the village that need repairs now, so go and help out if you have time." Watching Kakashi being led away by Kaira, Ishikawa turned around, gave a few instructions, and called Karin and the other two to leave.
Before today's memorial service, they had already received their mission: to use Karin and his abilities to carry out a spy cleanup operation and ensure the smooth conduct of the upcoming succession ceremony.
"Damn it, I didn't expect Kakashi-sensei to achieve my dream before me. Never mind, I'm going to train my ninjutsu even harder and surpass Kakashi-sensei to become the Sixth Hokage of Konoha as soon as possible." Naruto's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to find Jiraiya to prepare to practice the Rasengan.
Repairing houses is a trivial matter, not something he, the future Hokage, should be doing right now.
"Sakura, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Sasuke informed her upon seeing this, and left without even bothering to make up an excuse.
Kakashi-sensei has become Hokage, and even Naruto has to train harder, so he can't fall too far behind.
He should also visit the Nanga Shrine.
"Damn it, you two actually..." Sakura couldn't help but go crazy as she saw that she was all alone in the blink of an eye.
I thought everyone would have a celebration dinner after Kakashi became Hokage, but now she's the only one left to repair the house.
Ugh, so annoying! The Hokage's disciples don't seem to be doing anything wrong!
As the old Class 7 and the new Class 7 dispersed, everyone else around them also left at the same time, and things proceeded in an orderly fashion according to plan...
Soon, the Konoha delegation, represented by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, went to the Daimyo's residence to report and confirm the fact that Kakashi had succeeded as the Fifth Hokage.
Originally, Kakashi was supposed to go there in person, but negotiations with Sunagakure and the need to prevent unforeseen circumstances prevented him from leaving the village at will, so special arrangements had to be made.
While Konoha was taking action, Sunagakure found the body of the Fourth Kazekage three days later.
"Damn it, this is a huge problem! That bastard Orochimaru, he actually deceived us Sunagakure!" Jonin Maki growled darkly, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.
The village had already captured Gaara, its trump card, from Konoha, and this failed invasion resulted in heavy losses for the village.
Now that even the Fourth Kazekage is dead, what do they have left to negotiate with Konoha?
“Now, on behalf of the village, I issue an A-level gag order: until we re-sign the alliance treaty with Konoha to bring Gaara back, no one is allowed to reveal the information about the Kazekage’s death.” After a pause, Maki surveyed the crowd with murderous intent.
If it weren't for the current manpower shortage, and considering that these people are also elites from Sunagakure, Maki would have wanted to kill them to ensure that the information wouldn't be leaked.
"Yes, Captain Maki." The group nodded without hesitation, deeply agreeing with Maki's concerns.
The current situation is arguably the closest Sunagakure has come to annihilation in decades...
Time flies like an arrow, and with undercurrents swirling around them, the seventh day quickly arrived.
On this day, almost all the Konoha ninjas gathered at the foot of the Hokage Building, and countless ordinary people also gathered there, creating a bustling atmosphere...
On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Kakashi, dressed in a Hokage robe and wearing a Hokage hat, stood against the wind, with the words "Fifth Hokage" behind him burning red like flames.
Behind him were Jiraiya, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and other Konoha Jonin such as Hiashi, Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza.
"Everyone, from this day forward, I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. I stake my life on the title of Hokage, and I, Kakashi Hatake, will protect you all and the village with my life!!"
Without further ado, Kakashi flicked his Hokage hat and solemnly addressed the crowd.
"I love you, Fifth Hokage..." Almost the instant Kakashi finished speaking, Karin, Ishikawa's teacher's wife, responded loudly, her cheeks flushed and she wept with joy.
She'd finally waited for it!
Kakashi said they would get married once the village was settled, and they even had their father, White Fang's, blessing them. She was so happy!
"Long live the Fifth Hokage!!"
"I love you too, Fifth Hokage..."
"Rumor has it that the Fifth Hokage almost killed Orochimaru, who was a super genius second only to the Fourth Hokage. Now our Konoha has hope!"
"Hahaha, you're missing something. The Fifth Hokage was a genius disciple of the Fourth Hokage. He became a Jonin of Konoha at the young age of 12, which is the youngest age ever for a Jonin in Konoha."
"That's right, that's right. I heard that the Fifth Hokage's disciple, Mitarai Ishikawa, is also a genius Jonin. He's the one who defeated that monster from Sunagakure this time, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."
"And another thing, that genius Sasuke from the Uchiha clan is also a disciple of the Fifth Hokage. He will definitely become an excellent Jonin in the future."
"Hiss! The way you put it, I'm starting to feel a bit excited about the village's future. Who knows, in a few years, Konoha might return to its former glory..."
"Of course, there are many geniuses in Konoha this year, not just these two. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, also supports the Fifth Hokage."
With the gossip and discussion of the onlookers, and the encouragement of those with ulterior motives, Kakashi's reputation suddenly reached its peak!
Everyone is filled with anticipation and hope for the upcoming fifth generation...
【Obito, Rin, Minato-sensei, I will protect Konoha with your will! Absolutely!!】
Kakashi listened to the cheers around him, his eyes filled with determination, as if he could see three familiar faces waving and encouraging him...
