Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

"Tsk tsk, this is truly a sight to behold. I never thought I'd actually see Madara Uchiha back down."

Black Zetsu, who had been watching the show for a while, revealed a satisfied expression and quietly hid his exposed head back underground.

Although Chiba's strength also exceeded its expectations, it didn't matter. Once Mother was resurrected, she could easily control Chiba with one hand.

"Wouldn't it have been better if we had done this earlier, Senior Ban? We can discuss things amicably, why ruin the harmony?"

Chiba also withdrew his chakra. Finding a new tool would not be easy, so it was best not to change him if possible and to stick to the original storyline.

As for how to deal with Kaguya after she appears, Chiba naturally has a plan, which is to use the system to farm rewards.

Firstly, it can be used to deal with Madara Uchiha, whose heart was ripped out by Black Zetsu; secondly, it can be used to deal with all of humanity, who were captured by Infinite Tsukuyomi and were on the verge of death.

If you keep grinding enough, I don't believe you can't get Kaguya!

"But before that, I need to find a way to improve my eye power, at least enough to withstand the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi," Chiba thought to himself.

"Ban-senpai, let's proceed according to the plan. I will bring Nagato over in a while."

"……Um."

Madara Uchiha looked very uncomfortable. He only grunted in response to Chiba's words before quickly turning his burning face away.

The feelings he had previously developed for Chiba had vanished completely after their earlier conflict.

For Madara and Hashirama, brothers, friends, and descendants were all willing to be sacrificed for their ideals, let alone Chiba, a junior who was not a direct descendant.

For Chiba, it was perfectly natural to treat an ambitious person who liked to use others as pawns as pawns and manipulate them without any psychological burden.

……

One week later, on the rooftop altar of the Hokage Building.

Chiba, dressed in a white robe embroidered with the flame pattern of the Fourth Hokage, walked casually to Hiruzen Sarutobi, surrounded by a group of Konoha high-ranking officials.

“Grandmaster, I still remember you patting me on the shoulder and saying that you were old and sick and that I should strive to improve myself. Now I have finally taken your place. I wonder if you are pleased?”

While waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to hand over the straw hat that symbolized the Hokage's authority, Chiba chuckled and teased.

"Chiba, I..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly speechless. He had only said those things to make Chiba wholeheartedly serve him, but who knew that Chiba would directly oust him and take the position herself?!

While Chiba was away these past few days, Hiruzen Sarutobi had made several attempts to reclaim power.

But the clan leaders who used to obey him completely ignored him, and his two old friends, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, also paid him no attention.

Even the clan leaders of the Aburame and Inuzuka clans, who had previously supported him unequivocally at the meeting, suddenly began to treat him coldly for some reason!

"My plan failed; it is fate!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought bitterly that with the people's hearts turned against him, he had no choice but to abdicate now.

He is, after all, a respectable person. It would be more dignified for him to voluntarily pass the Hokage position to Chiba. If he were not respectable, someone else would do it for him...

"The future of Konoha is in your hands, Chiba."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice trembled as he reluctantly removed the Hokage hat, a symbol of power and status, from his head and slowly handed it to Chiba.

"Bring it to you!"

Chiba snatched the straw hat from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, strode to the front of the platform, and raised the hat towards the villagers watching below.

"I, Yu... cough, I, Chiba, will be the Fourth Hokage from now on. The prosperity of Konoha will be my responsibility from now on!"

"Ahhhhh, the Fourth Hokage is so handsome! I want to have three children with him!"

"My dear wife, please tone it down a bit, I'm still standing right here..."

"Wow, Hokage-sama is the best! Support the Fourth Hokage!"

Below the Hokage Building, as Chiba raised the Hokage hat in his hand, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.

This shows just how unpopular Hiruzen Sarutobi was. Why didn't such a handsome Hokage, who was also willing to give benefits to the villagers, take over sooner?!

In the crowd, Mito Mongetsu lowered her proud head.

The commoner boy she used to look down on has now become someone she has to look up to, and she feels a little bitter.

"Sis, I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference, or you can slap me... I'm just kidding, sis!!"

Seeing his good brother wearing the Hokage's clothes, Nawaki looked bewildered, as if he were dreaming, until Tsunade raised her hand and he suddenly realized that this was definitely not a dream!

"From now on, I, Nawaki, will be the Hokage's brother! Hahahaha!" Nawaki let out a thousand-handed laugh.

Tsunade smiled and looked at Chiba above with affection. Now that Chiba had become Hokage, the two of them could finally be together legitimately.

"Mikoto, from now on you'll be the Hokage's wife, which is much more prestigious than your older sister being the clan leader's wife. Are you happy?"

At the Uchiha clan's viewing area, Uchiha Miyu nudged her younger sister with her elbow and teased her with a smile.

"Oh dear, sister, don't talk nonsense. My relationship with Chiba is still far from settled."

Two blushes rose on Mikoto's pretty face as she shyly declined.

But her beautiful eyes were filled with joy as she looked at Chiba, secretly looking forward to their sweet life together in the future.

"It's over. Now there are even bigger obstacles to being with Rin... Rin, for you, I, Obito, swear I will become the next Hokage!"

"Ha, you idiot."

Kakashi glanced at Obito and gave his indifferent assessment, while Rin, standing behind the two, smiled without saying a word.

(So, Obito whispered in Kakashi's ear: "Everyone can substitute for my ultimate move, but you, Kakashi, are the only one who can't.")

"Yahiko, Chiba-nii became Hokage! Why aren't you excited at all?"

"Tch, you and Nagato are just lame. I saw long ago that Junior Brother Chiba was rebellious and that it was only a matter of time before he seized power. It's not surprising at all."

Thus, Yahiko, who thought himself to be different from others, was brutally beaten by Nagato and Konan on his joyous day.

……

Fuzi Village.

Jiraiya soaked his legs in the hot spring, his upper body bare, leaning against Nadeshiko Amane's chest, enjoying the delicious food and soothing massage fed to him by her delicate hands.

"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, what a carefree little immortal!"

Jiraiya squinted his eyes in enjoyment. Since arriving at Fushiko Village to keep the appointment, he had stayed here for more than a month to spar with Fushiko Amane.

Nadeshiko Amane's martial arts skills were quite superb, and Jiraiya dared not hold back, so he had to go all out, which almost resulted in someone's death several times.

"No more worrying about the ninja world, no more burdened by missions, this is the life I want."

Jiraiya put down his wine cup, began to play with Nadeshiko Amane's delicate feet, and couldn't help but sigh to himself.

At this moment, a female ninja quickly walked into the hot spring and bowed down to the two of them respectfully.

"My lords, I have just received news that Lord Chiba, Jiraiya's disciple, has recently officially assumed the position of Fourth Hokage."

"(OωO?)! What?!"

Jiraiya was dumbfounded, so shocked that he sat up abruptly, almost bumping into Nadeshiko Amane's chin.

"Chiba became Hokage so quickly? Is the old man willing to give up his power? Did he kill the old man?"

Also, given Chiba's lethargic nature, won't Konoha be in trouble? No, I have to go back...!"

Jiraiya subconsciously worried about everything.

But then he thought again, Chiba is now a big figure who can dominate the entire ninja world. As a mature prophetic child, he doesn't need to worry about the ninja world or Konoha.

"My lord, do you want to go back to Konoha? I can go back with you."

Seeing Jiraiya's strong reaction, Nadeshiko Amane gently ruffled his messy silver hair and spoke softly.

"Why go back to Konoha? We're having so much fun here, we don't care about Konoha. Let the music continue, let the dancing continue!"

"Ugh! What are you doing? There are people here!"

Amidst Nadeshiko Amane's gasp, Jiraiya laughed heartily and pulled her entirely into the hot spring, revealing her exquisite curves and breasts.

"Subordinates resign!"

Upon seeing this, the female ninja quickly excused herself, not daring to look any longer, leaving the entire hot spring pool for the two to play in.

……

"Sigh, being the Hokage is really inhuman. There are mountains of documents to process every day."

In the Hokage's office, Chiba let out a long sigh and said with some emotion.

"Chiba, you're talking as if you're the one who's in charge of handling these documents!"

At this moment, Minato, who was engrossed in reviewing documents, looked up and complained irritably.

"Exactly! I've never done so much work in my entire life!"

Nawaki closed a file as well, looking at Chiba with disdain and saying, "Is your position as Hokage just for show? Why should we do the work when you're the Hokage?"

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Ryoka also wanted to complain, but since they weren't that close to Chiba, they held back after thinking about it.

They had never seen such a leisurely Hokage, doing nothing himself and leaving all the village affairs to the four of them!

"Oh, you're mistaken. It's because I trust you and want to give you a chance to demonstrate your abilities. So many people are vying to become the Hokage's advisors, you should cherish that opportunity!"

Chiba Akira blurted out, "Think about when Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, when was he ever willing to relinquish even a sliver of power? But I handed it all over to you without hesitation!"

Under Chiba's persuasion, the four of them reluctantly continued working. What could they do when they had such a shameless best friend (boss)?

"Alright, you guys keep working, I'll be going now!"

Chiba left the Hokage's office with a smile. There was no way he would ever work; he would never work in his life.

Chiba had a clear understanding of his role: his main purpose as Hokage was to show off, or rather, to intimidate. In other words, he was only responsible for intimidation and didn't need to worry about anything else.

In domestic affairs, he appointed a new Konoha F4, entrusted the Anbu to Hiruko who had disguised himself as a minor character, and Orochimaru remained in charge of Root. He also appointed Fugaku Uchiha and the head of the Hyuga clan as Hokage to assist him.

In addition, he lifted the restrictions imposed on the Uchiha by the Anbu and Root, and opened the gates of the Konoha Police Department, allowing non-Uchiha villagers to take the entrance exam.

With absolute strength as a guarantee, Chiba felt that this team was enough to ensure Konoha's stable operation for decades.
