My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 316 A Hot Potential

"From today onwards, you are the Sixth Hokage."

Tsunade patted Link on the shoulder, casually tossed her Hokage hat onto the table, and left with a smile on her face.

Running between two places every day, she's too busy to repair her relationship with her boyfriend. She was only temporarily filling in, and since becoming Hokage, all she does is stamp her name and speak up for those three kid-like former Hokage...

This lousy job can be done by whoever wants to.

She was overjoyed that someone was finally willing to take over the position in the main world.

Link looked blankly at the two old men beside him—I mean, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado—pointed at himself, and asked, "Am I the Hokage now?"

Early in the morning, he was taken to see the daimyo, and after a few words, the daimyo decided that he was the Hokage.

What happened to the Jonin vote?

"Yes, Sixth Hokage, remember you need to attend the Chunin Exams in two days," Mitokado Homura reminded him.

In fact, the operation of most of the village task systems is still maintained by the two of them.

The main reason is that since the crisis involving Kaguya Otsutsuki occurred, many Jonin have had to take turns to be on duty in World 2. The days when Jonin would take on a mission every ten days or half a month and take one or two months to complete the mission are gone.

The Anbu rarely undertakes missions like infiltrating other villages or assassinating ninjas anymore, since with Konoha's current strength, there's no need for such clandestine operations.

Missions involving starting wars or hiring mercenaries were also rejected by Tobirama Senju, making the other villages curious about what Konoha was up to. They desperately sent spies to Konoha, and the Anbu were dealing with spies from other ninja villages around the clock.

With Hashirama in charge, all the spies were thrown into prison, waiting for the ninja village to come and redeem them. However, the notice has been sent out, and no one has come to pay up yet.

They probably find it unbelievable.

"The Chunin Exams?" Link stood inside the desk, still feeling a little unreal, before being pushed into his seat the next second.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat on the table, pushed over a large stack of documents that Tsunade hadn't processed, smacked his lips, and said, "Biwako is sewing you a Hokage robe. Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to wear it before the Chunin Exams."

After all, smaller robes are easier to sew, and ninjas can sew them up in a short time.

"Huh? No..." Link looked at the document that was taller than his head and had a bad feeling.

He subconsciously looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. That old man—no, that little guy—had already escaped through the window. He then turned to look at the two advisors beside him.

Well, those two had more documents in front of them than he did combined.

"Tsunade hasn't been back to handle village affairs for too long," Koharu Utatane said with a hint of resentment. "These things have been piling up for a long time. The last time she handled affairs was when she helped Sakura Haruno get promoted to Jonin..."

Does that mean I didn't do any work before I left?
Link was a little speechless. He opened a document and said, "I remember becoming Hokage required a vote of trust from Jonin?"

"Oh, you mean that? When you and Tsunade went to see the Daimyo this morning, the vote was already taken, and you passed unanimously."

Koharu responded, marked the document, stamped it, closed it and put it aside. She then picked up another document and said, "Don't worry, once these documents are processed, we'll handle the rest of the main world village's operation. You just need to attend some important occasions."

"It won't interfere with your cultivation."

"What about these?" Link looked at the medical team application forms written on them, unsure of where to begin.

Mitokado En smiled, his tense face breaking into a grin, and Koharu Utatane next to him also smiled.

“Those are all things we’ve handled before.” She looked up at you with a relaxed tone and said, “It’s just to familiarize you with the matters that the Hokage has to deal with.”

"Just take a look. If you don't understand anything, just ask us." "We'll also explain why we're processing the documents in a certain way."

In fact, the Hokage has a lot of work to do, such as going downstairs to the mission dispatch office to assign tasks to the ninjas, commanding the Anbu, approving various promotions, personnel scheduling, granting access rights to the powerful, studying and processing the intelligence gathered, and dealing with problems encountered in nearby cities and towns, etc.

The ninja village is, after all, a military organization. For the entire village to function, it needs someone to give orders. In order to be efficient, there is no room for democracy at all.

The village is like a brain, and the various departments are like the village's hands and feet; being busy is normal.

Link flipped through the documents, feeling a headache coming on. He had indeed fantasized about becoming Hokage before, but now that he was actually sitting in this position, just thinking about the things he had to deal with made his scalp tingle.

As a directly subordinate department, the Anbu (Anbu) needs to assign different Anbu squads to carry out missions, such as patrolling the border, searching for spies, and monitoring ninja clans.

Ordinary ninjas, even Jonin, only need to carry out missions. But the Hokage has to consider many things: whether he can complete the mission, whether he needs support, and whether there are any additional requirements.

The jumbled information he was reading made his head spin.

He spent half a day sitting in the Hokage's chair, either mechanically flipping through documents or listening to the two advisors rambling on and on. At lunchtime, when he finally managed to rest, he realized something:

I'm really not suited to be Hokage.

He's a formidable fighter, his ninjutsu is extraordinary, and his status is unparalleled in the village.

Why suffer like the Hokage?

Most importantly, Link is a decent ninja, but as a Kage, he's like the future Naruto, lacking many of the basic qualities of a Kage.

The absorption, summarization, and processing of a large amount of intelligence alone would waste a lot of time. Just look at the two advisors next to me; they can tell what to do with a glance and can also succinctly summarize the problems and the role of the intelligence for him.

Purely a difference in experience.

No wonder Naruto was so busy during peacetime; he felt he wasn't much better off than Naruto.

After finishing his meal, Link asked the two advisors earnestly, "Can the Hokage resign?"

The two advisors exchanged a glance, their eyes and faces full of smiles. Turning to Koharu, they said, "Okay, but you need to find someone qualified to inherit and willing to take over."

Times have indeed changed. The shadow that was once fiercely contested is now becoming a hot potato.

Mitokado Yan thought of his old friend Shimura Danzo, who had been reincarnated as a little kid.

After that guy turned into a child, he devoted himself to the cause of the Ninja League, leading a large group of reincarnated people to work diligently for the operation of the Ninja League in World Two every day.

That's true. Having seen the whole world, why would I be interested in the Hokage position, which is obviously restricted by a lot of people?

Perhaps I should find time to retire, accumulate some merit points, and wait to be reincarnated as a child so I can live a leisurely life.

He thought wistfully that the wheels of time had rolled on and eventually left him behind.

Xiaochun and her old partner exchanged a glance and slowly smiled kindly.

They have indeed reached retirement age, and there are too many 'young people' who can support the future; the village's future is infinitely bright.

Even if I were to die now, I probably wouldn't have any regrets.
