Shadow Stream of Leaf

"What is Master Hanyu thinking about?"

When Hanyu was deep in thought, he might really be thinking about some serious issues, he might be thinking wildly, or he might just be in a daze.

"I'm thinking about how I can raise Hokage's salary a little bit more. I just looked at the salary of the third generation... Although it is high enough, it can be even higher."

Without looking back, Hanyu said this to Uzumaki Ziko who came to report something.

As for what she reported, he took it for granted that he only listened to the general idea.

At this moment, Hanyu was sitting on a chair with his back facing his desk, facing the window and admiring the scenery outside... Although there was nothing to see except for the row upon row of buildings and the shadow rocks in the distance. watch.

This is Hanyu's office, which is also the new "Hokage Office" - the inauguration ceremony was already yesterday.

However, although Hanyu's identity has changed, Uzumaki Ziko's address to Hanyu is still the same as before, "Master Hanyu", not "Four Daime" or "Hokage-sama". This has nothing to do with Hanyu's wishes, but only with her own wishes, the implication is... don't worry about it.

"If there is no way to add special funds to me, how about embezzling the wages of the ninjas below..."

Immediately afterwards, Hanyu gave an idea of ​​apologizing to the people of the whole country, impeaching the advisers and forcing the ninjas to rebel.

"Master Hanyu, you don't have any special material needs... Maybe you should let Master Tsunade change her bad habits."

Today, Tsunade's reputation as a "gambling monster" has spread throughout Konoha, and even some old people have given her a high-standard evaluation of "quite similar to her ancestors, but still better". But these words can't be said on the bright side, everyone pretends not to know.

"It's not necessary, it's just a kind of hobby, it's just an adjustment and embellishment of daily life... just like some people like to play chess and others like to dance disco."

Hanyu's bitterness has actually reached the level of "it's not a sin for a man to cry", but at this time he still wants to protect his face.

"Don't worry, I'm just joking...

I would never take a dime from a ninja; Konoha can go out of business, but never spoil.

However, if possible...it would be the best to let this village develop into a listed company before it goes bankrupt. "

"..." Zikou Xin said, why are you performing this here?

"Master Hanyu, if possible, Konoha should try not to go bankrupt if possible."

"I know."

Hanyu said casually.

The new Hokage-sama seems a bit unreliable.

"Also, what about the matter I just reported, Master Hanyu?"

"From now on, you can handle the daily affairs by yourself, and report the results to me regularly... Everything will follow the old practice of Yingliu."

And... he is even more unreliable.

After becoming Hokage, Kageryu is still under Hanyu's direct leadership, and the position of "Kageryu Master" is not yet time to step down.

It's just that managing a small organization with dozens of people like Yingliu is different from managing a huge organization with a total force of more than 10,000 Konoha and a total population of more than 200,000. The problem does not lie in Uzumaki Ziko's ability, but in her status and the implications of holding such a position.

"Hanyu-sama, is there... will there be any problem?"

"If there are any problems, character, ability, and my trust, etc., if there are no problems in these aspects, you will not ask."

Although Hanyu's decentralization is a little exaggerated, Ziko is definitely trustworthy, and Zikou has done many things better than him... And Hanyu doesn't care about anything, and he can only rely on him, the four most important matters related to the war. Daime makes up his mind.

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, you will definitely have a corresponding name when you exercise your power."

At the time of Yingliu, Uzumaki Zikou was just a "secretary", but the name of deputy was enough for her to manage that organization.

But it is definitely not possible in Konoha. In theory, Hokage's secretary is just like Hokage's little secretary. She has no right to intervene in many things, and she doesn't have that authority.

"After becoming Hokage, the next thing I will do is to expand the number of consultants. You from Kageliu, Hatake Sakumo, and the three disciples of the third generation will all have such titles... Such a position, somewhat detached, but with ambiguous, if not appointed, terms of reference.

So with this title and my appointment, you can justifiably help me with a lot of work. "

Hanyu's thinking is more comprehensive... Everything is for laziness.

At this time, Lord Hokage of the Fourth Hokage is like a German nobleman who suddenly became the king of a corrupt country, throwing away the power of Hokage like a stinky dog ​​shit.

"Won't this encroach on the interests of the two advisors? At this stage, Mr. Hanyu should still maintain the support of the advisors."

"It does not encroach on their authority, the two consultants are still responsible for the original work, the only loss is that there are no longer only two consultants - their status is slightly shared.

But I can guarantee that they will definitely support my decision... once they realize that I increase the number of advisors to spread the power in their hands.

Compared with their little loss, those two people will definitely feel that the harm caused by my arbitrary exercise of Hokage's power is greater. "

Although Hanyu just put some daily power in the hands of Ziko, strictly speaking, this is not a dispersion, because Ziko obeys his orders, but... at least Ziko Uzumaki seems more reliable than him.

"...Master Hanyu, since you understand these things so well, why don't you take up the position of Hokage, obviously you are capable of doing this well." Zi Kou said this, but it was actually a tactful consolation.

And Hanyu’s answer was succinct and clear:

"Because I'm lazy."

It can be seen here that he really has no interest in managing the village and being Hokage.

A person who has ambitions for the position of Hokage and ideals for the village, after becoming Hokage, will definitely analyze the village's ills, and then start to make innovations, and even try to institutionalize, but Hanyu has no such ideas.

He felt that the current Konoha was pretty good, so he decided to try to keep it as it was—interestingly, if Hanyu changed things indiscriminately in the village, he would definitely be disgusted by the two advisors, but if he didn't change anything... …also pissed them off.

The village head is a very great position, why doesn't this person cherish it?

"Okay, let's stop here... It's almost time, we have to go."

Hanyu stopped Uzumaki from what she said next, and then he stood up, ready to leave his office.

After he became the fourth generation, he had to do the first very important thing...it was to preside over the funeral of the third Hokage.

Because his status is the most formal, solemn and appropriate.

So at this time, both Hanyu and Uzumaki Ziko were all dressed in black.

As for Tsunade, she has already arrived at the scene one step ahead, and now she should stay with Sarutobi's clansman—except for her family, those three disciples should be the closest people of the three generations of Hokage, or it can be said that "Sannin "It is also the family of three generations of Hokage.

It's just that only Tsunade can appear at the funeral.

I don't know if it's because Hanyu's suggestion worked, but Sarutobi decided to use cremation to dispose of the body of the third generation.

The scene was just outside the Memorial Garden, and when Hanyu arrived there, everything had been prepared there.

The body of the third generation is well preserved, and it is completely impossible to tell that he has been sacrificed for a long time... He is indeed peaceful and just as if he is asleep.

It's just that what's under him now is not a bed, but firewood that has been specially treated.

Hanyu stepped forward and confirmed that it was the body of Sandaimu.

Many people are immersed in grief. There is definitely no need to talk nonsense on this occasion. Everyone can just go through the process silently.

"Three generations, it's a good journey."

Just as Hanyu was silently wishing for the last time in his heart, which was also a rare heartfelt blessing, Sarutobi Kohei walked to his side, and then handed a burning torch into his hand.

"Forehead……"

What do these mean?

First the second generation and then the third generation, the double after many years? Professional account? I am an incinerator, with strong incineration skills?

Which bastard's bad taste is this?
