Chapter 318 Huh?
"Sixth Hokage, please wait."

The Fourth Kazekage watched the Chunin Exams with trepidation, and when he saw the Hokage's chair being lifted up to leave, he quickly called for it to stop.

"What's wrong?" Link looked over, a little puzzled.

Now that he's Hokage, he's definitely going to have to put on a grand show. One extendable chair simply won't be enough; he's going to the Five Kage Summit after the Chunin Exams in a couple of days.

The Fourth Kazekage organized his thoughts for a moment and said, "Regarding the upcoming Five Kage Summit, I wonder what the Sixth Hokage's thoughts are?"

Losing a Jinchuriki could very well be the spark that ignites a war. Given the Raikage's lack of common sense in intelligence reports, a single misstep could easily lead to war.

The Sand Village and the Leaf Village, now allies, have a real chance to fight the enemy together.

What? A secret deal with Iwagakure? Don't talk nonsense about breaking the alliance.

"Oh, you mean that?" Link genuinely hadn't thought that much about it. "It has nothing to do with us, we might as well go and join in the fun."

It's not that he didn't anticipate potential problems; he simply didn't care.

Despite its grand and prestigious name, the Five Shadows Conference is essentially a meeting where the leaders of five major world powers sit down to negotiate, a meeting of mutual demands and compromises.

The problem is that Konoha Village has nothing else to ask for right now.

The Second World base, which originally needed supplies transported from the main world, is now completely well-supplied thanks to the establishment of the Ninja Alliance. With the ninjas' productivity, the Second World started feeding back into the main world last month.

Otherwise, how would the village maintain its operations if it rejected so many valuable war missions? Isn't it just that World Two is transporting profits?

The main world is still in a state of disarray, and Tobirama Senju's plan is to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki, get the Ninja Alliance on the right track, and produce enough management personnel before returning to deal with all the other ninja villages in the main world.

They should be dealt with properly, forcibly integrated into the Ninja Alliance, the village disbanded, and all Kage except the Hokage removed.

So the Five Shadows Conference and the like are completely irrelevant.

The Fourth Kazekage was at a loss for words. He wanted to grab the brat in front of him and loudly question whether he even knew anything about politics.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll take my leave now."

Link planned to go to the Seventh Training Ground to train and relax his mind. Before dawn, the ANBU guards near his home would wake him up at a set time to go to work.

Sitting in the Hokage's office, flipping through documents, and listening to two advisors explain how to handle intelligence and personnel transfers, I felt like I was working an early morning shift.

The body is not tired, but the mind is tired.

I'll take a break and then go back to the office to continue learning. Although I feel like I'm not quite suited for it, once you're in a position, you have to learn to adapt.

If all else fails, we'll think of a way to escape in the future.

"My subordinates recently went missing within the Land of Fire..." the Fourth Kazekage inquired tentatively.

"So it's the Dark Organization that came here trying to infiltrate, right?" Link flipped through the processing documents sent by Mitomon Homura in the Luo Wang (Net of Law), read the quotation given on it verbatim, and said, "Pay the money to them."

"Is there anything else? See you tomorrow, Fourth Kazekage."

Before he finished speaking, the shadow carried the chair away.

Link is still the same as always.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Gaara's barely perceptible eyes. It's so good that his friend hasn't changed even after becoming a 'Kage'.

The Fourth Kazekage was speechless at the Hokage's capricious behavior. Suddenly, he realized that Sasori had also left without him noticing. He wanted to be angry, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

If given the choice, who wouldn't want to be as willful as Link?

It's not that he's not strong enough; he's still the Kazekage, but because no one in the village can take over. The only qualified and capable person is Sasori of the Red Sand, whom everyone dislikes. He's an equally willful and self-centered guy, the kind who can't even pass a Jonin's trust vote.

[Speaking of which, how did Link pass the Jonin trust vote?]
-
Evening, in the Hokage's office.

"Hmm~"

Link stretched, closed the file, and yawned, saying, "Thank you both, advisors. Let's call it a day."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sixth Generation Lord." Mitokado Homura bowed slightly respectfully, opened the door, and left.

Koharu Utatane paused at the door and said, "Sixth Hokage, please find the Hokage to assist you as soon as possible. En and I are planning to retire next month and go to World Two."

According to Tobirama Senju's redesigned mission system, to be reborn, one must have at least 10,000 contribution points. Previous merits and efforts are not counted and must be accumulated from scratch.

So far, apart from Minato Namikaze, the young man from Konoha Village No. 2, no one has gathered the complete set. If those two old guys continue to live their lives in the main world, it might take them decades to gather the complete set.

It's better to go to World Two sooner. I heard that they are also short of manpower there, and management personnel are even scarcer. The sooner you accumulate enough contribution points, the sooner you can reincarnate.

Only those who have grown old truly understand how difficult aging can be.

“Okay.” Link watched the two consultants leave with a relaxed expression before sighing with a long face.

What should we do?

There's really no one in Konoha Village who is qualified, capable, and willing to succeed him.

The best candidate would actually be Kakashi, but that guy would run off to World Two every few days to carry out missions, it was as if he had his escape written all over his face.

[Haikage assistant? Seems like that's going to be pretty difficult. I can't just find a kid, and I can't exactly call Shikaku's master over for help, can I?]

The Jonin class leader has a lot of work to do and may not always have free time.

"Click~" The office door opened a crack, and Mitarashi Anko peeked in, glanced around carefully, saw that he was alone, pushed the door open and said casually, "Congratulations, Link."

She walked naturally to the desk, patted her chest, and said with a smile, "I voted for you, so you have to treat me!"

"Hmm~" Link cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "Call me Hokage-sama."

Mitarashi Anko sat relaxed on the table and said, "Seriously? Are you going to distance yourself from me like this?"

"Hey, you bastard!" Link was just about to put on a show of Hokage-like power when the window was smashed open with a bang.

A familiar orange figure rushed in, shouting, "Fifth Hokage, Fifth Hokage!"

In the main world, Naruto didn't have a story with Tsunade, so he was quite polite in how he addressed her.

"I heard that an adult version of myself became Hokage. Hey, Link?"

He paused for a moment, looked at the short figure wearing the Hokage robe and straw hat, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Don't just wear those clothes randomly, the Third Hokage will scold you."

As for why he knew he would be scolded for wearing the Hokage robe and hat indiscriminately, that's another story.

"Hey, kid." Mitarashi Anko jumped off the table, hands on her hips, and said, "You'd better be a little more polite to the Sixth Hokage~"

Naruto was stunned. He looked at Link, who had a reserved smile on his face, and then turned to look at Anko, who had a serious expression on her face, blinking his eyes.

"what?"
