Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

He himself would disdain doing such a thing.

[However, the situation is different now. Even if it's to finish last, he'll still try his best. He looked at the camera, his eyes clear and determined.]

"I won't deny what I've done. If they don't want me to be Hokage because of these things, that's fine. I will still only do what I believe is right."

Ten years have passed, and Uchiha Sasuke is no longer the prickly boy who harbored a sharp hatred for the world.

Time has left its clear marks on him; his gaze is now more serene and more resolute.

The pain and suffering of the past, in the fragments of time, have transformed into nourishment for his growth.

His travels and writing experiences have helped him mature step by step, giving him a quiet yet radiant inner strength.

Naruto turned to look at Sasuke, his eyes shining brightly, as if those deep blue eyes could only hold the image of this one person.

[This is Sasuke, but unlike the Sasuke of the past who radiated blinding brilliance, the current Sasuke exudes a dazzling yet gentle light. He has grown.]

But he is still Sasuke.

[It was his Sasuke!] Naruto grinned like a fool.

[Sasuke, oblivious to Naruto's expression, slowly smiled slightly at the camera, "I want to become Hokage, so I will do my best to achieve it, and even if I fail in the end, I will have no regrets."]

"Whether I win or lose, it's what I want."

[Aaaaaaah, this is killing me with this!!!]

[Help! Insulin! I need insulin!!]

[So sweet, oh my god! It's just tickets, right? Take them all!!]

[Laughed, holy crap, how can he be so handsome! And Naruto, don't you need to watch your facial expressions?!]

[The Civil Affairs Bureau is moving in for you, please get married right away, okay?!]

[This is a confession, it's definitely a confession!]

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to feel proud of his son's character, the smile on his lips slowly froze.

"Pfft!" Mikoto couldn't help but burst out laughing. The future ninja was certainly lively; Naruto's expression was indeed...

“Speaking of which, I even talked to Kushina about arranging a marriage between our children,” Mikoto said with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. “But Kushina had a premonition that she would have a son, and Itachi said that I would have a younger brother, so nothing came of it.”

"I never expected that the two of them would become such good friends later on. I'm so happy."

Fugaku's arms, which were holding Mikoto, stiffened slightly, and his expression became somewhat strange. "No, don't you think there's something wrong with what you just said?"

"Being good brothers is enough. As for the arranged marriage, thankfully it wasn't set up," he breathed a huge sigh of relief. What was with those ninjas? Why were they pressuring my son to marry Minato's son?!

What kind of marriage are two men doing?! What kind of confession is that?! Don't talk nonsense! Fugaku almost fainted from anger!

Konoha 64 years.

Naruto, who was eating ramen, spat out a mouthful of soup! Marriage? Me and Sasuke?

Chapter 62 Kakashi: I'm retiring, and nobody can stop me!

Naruto, his expression stiff, stole a glance at Sasuke, then turned away, his cheeks as red as tomatoes. These people are so strange, they actually want me and Sasuke to marry?!

Sasuke's cheeks were burning red as he tried to ignore the strange looks from those around him. He acknowledged in his heart that the loser was his closest friend, but marriage? What a joke!

After finishing their ramen, the two people with flushed cheeks looked at each other in silence, then each gave a soft hum to the other.

Naruto immediately bristled, "Hey, Sasuke, what's with that expression? Is marrying me something you'd be doing me a disservice?"

"Get lost! Who wants to marry a loser like you?!"

"What did you say?!"

"Why are you angry? Do you want to marry me?"

"Are you kidding me? I like Sakura, okay?"

For no apparent reason, the two started grabbing each other by the collar and hurling insults, their cheeks almost touching.

From a distance, it looks almost like a mouth.

Sakura, who happened to be looking for someone, was speechless.

Saying you like me is all bullshit! Draw your sword, rival!!

. . . . . .

After Konohamaru's live stream ended, Tobirama, Shikaku, Kakashi, and others discussed the upcoming Five Kage Summit, Pain's attack on the village, and Sasuke's disruption of the Five Kage Summit.

Shikaku: "Danzo attended the Five Kage Summit, but the Fifth Hokage was Lady Tsunade. Something must have happened to Lady Tsunade when Pain attacked the village."

They recalled how the ninja attack group on the forum killed the liaison frog when Pain attacked the village, which nearly killed the Fifth Hokage.

This shows the danger of Payne's attack on the village.

They must strengthen their defenses, as for Uchiha Sasuke...

Tobirama sighed in frustration, "Still no news from Itachi Uchiha?"

When the monkey left the village, he had a mission: besides capturing Shimura Danzo, another mission was to bring back Uchiha Itachi.

But he perished together with Danzo.

Uchiha Itachi then completely disappeared without a trace.

Nara Shikaku shook his head, his expression slightly serious. Then Tobirama turned to Kakashi, "And you? How's your progress?"

Kakashi reached up and touched his left eye, letting out a slight sigh of relief. "That's about it."

"Boost."

"Yes, Nidaime-sama."

As a storm brews in Konoha Village.

The other four major powers are also actively preparing for war, whether for the four wars depicted on screen or for the future situation.

all in all.

The peace of the ninja world is about to be torn apart.

a few days later.

The light screen lit up again.

"Welcome everyone to the Konoha News Broadcast. I'm your host, Inoue Taro."

"I'm the host, Ai Kotani."

A familiar voice, a familiar formal occasion.

"Wow, it's the news! I love this!" Naruto shouted excitedly. Although it was nice to see how awesome his future self would be, he still preferred watching this. After all, it was usually not him who was being persecuted, but Kakashi-sensei!

(Hashirama Senju: News is here!)

(Uchiha Madara: Hmph.) Damn it, he's not number one. Hashirama, how come his hand speed is so fast?

The female host smiled slightly at the camera and announced, "Important news today: the Hokage office has announced the candidates for the Seventh Hokage."

[Male host: "Yes, ever since the Konoha Hokage election system bill was passed, everyone has been discussing the list of Hokage candidates."]

[Female host: "The Sixth Hokage and the higher-ups compiled a list of three names in total."]

[Male host: "They are Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno."]

[Female host: "These three lists are all within everyone's expectations."]

[Male Host: "Today we've invited the Sixth Hokage and his assistant, Mr. Nara Shikamaru, to give their opinions on the selection of the future Seventh Hokage."]

"It's Shikamaru!" Choji, who was crunching on potato chips, immediately opened his little eyes wide and stared at the screen with shining eyes.

Shikamaru rolled over in annoyance. "What a nuisance."

The future Hokage's assistant will have to appear on TV with the Hokage? That's too much trouble.

In the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku tried his best to hide it, but he couldn't conceal the smile on his lips. The other executives rolled their eyes at him.

This guy must be so smug.

[The camera shifts to the interview room, where the Sixth Generation Head, sitting leisurely, waves and greets everyone like a mascot.]

[Nara Shikamaru, standing next to him, nodded at the screen. Ten years had passed, and Shikamaru had grown a beard. Compared to the ageless Sixth Hokage beside him, he looked like a contemporary of Kakashi.]

"Wow, Shikamaru, you've grown a beard!" Choji curiously leaned over to look at the still fair-skinned Shikamaru, then laughed and said, "When you grow up, you'll look exactly like Uncle Shikaku."

The moment Shikamaru came out, he thought he saw Uncle Shikaku.

"Ah, help!" Why did he have to see his 27-year-old self when he was only 12? His life suddenly lost its surprises.

And then there's Nara Shikamaru on the screen with his dark circles under his eyes and the little hair he has left. Looking at Kakashi next to him, who looks almost exactly the same as he does now, I can't help but sigh. Why did he even become the Hokage's assistant?

"The Sixth Hokage seems to be in a good mood," the female host remarked, rarely seeing the Sixth Hokage with such a relaxed expression.

"He's about to retire, how could he not be happy?" Before the Sixth Hokage could speak, Shikamaru interjected with a sour tone. The Sixth Hokage was nearing retirement, but he still had a long way to go.

Kakashi grinned like a sly fox, "Oh, Shikamaru, don't be too envious of me. You're still young, continue to shine for Konoha!" Though he said this, his schadenfreude was impossible to hide.

The thought of retiring in two years makes Kakashi so happy he could laugh in his sleep.

The female host, smiling, watched the two adults banter and asked, "What are the plans for the Sixth Hokage after retirement?"

"I'm going on a trip," he said, his words flowing like a torrent when talking about his retirement plans—he'd been planning this for a long time.

"I made a promise with Guy to travel around the ninja world. Before, it was my students Naruto and Sasuke who went out to see it. Now, it's finally about my turn," Kakashi said, his crescent-shaped eyes crinkling with a delighted smile.

"I also want to visit the filming locations of the movie 'Icha Icha Paradise.' Ah, I can't take it anymore, the more I talk about it, the more I want to go. I wish I could retire right now and make way for the younger generation."

[Inside the interview room, everyone laughed; they could all sense the Sixth Hokage's desire to retire.]

“Hmph,” Obito snorted coldly inside the Kamui dimension, his lips curling as he stared at Kakashi on the screen, who was smiling relaxedly, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

Chapter 63 Who is Kaguya Otsutsuki? Did Shikaku die?

[Male Host: "Sixth Hokage, what are your thoughts on the current Hokage candidates? Could you explain why these three were chosen? And who do you think has the highest probability of winning?"]

Kakashi paused for a second, then slowly said, "The Konoha Hokage Election Law includes a requirement for those who have completed the necessary procedures to become Hokage candidates."

"Merit, reputation, character, and talent."
