I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 80 The Arrival of a New Era, the Privileges of the Konoha Crown Prince

After the meal, Yagyu finally paved the way for Hinata and the other girls, just as planned.

As long as they cling to Tsunade's coattails and with Yagyu's help, Ino and Hinata, if they train diligently, will definitely be able to break the original limits of strength by the time they turn sixteen.

So in the following days, Yagyu often took Hinata and the other girls to Tsunade's house to make his presence known, helping her clean the yard and redecorate the house.

Even when Hanabi isn't doing her "homework," she'll occasionally come over.

Tsunade also had a great fondness for the well-behaved and capable Hinata and the other girls, and was much more enthusiastic than Yagyu had imagined.

Yagyu, of course, had no idea that Tsunade's enthusiasm for Hinata and the other girls was because of him.

If it weren't for Yagyu's young age and the inconvenience of doing so in front of the girls, Tsunade would have loved to give him a thumbs up and praise him for choosing such a good childhood friend.

The young lady of the Hyuga clan, the young lady of the Yamanaka clan... As long as Yagyu maintains good relations with these two people, he will have the support of four ninja clans.

The Hyuga clan is the only remaining elite family in Konoha, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio almost monopolizes important positions in the interrogation department, logistics department, and think tank.

With the support of these four families, even without Wood Release, it was already a foregone conclusion that Yagyu would become the Sixth Hokage.

Even the elders couldn't stop it!

To pave the way for Yagyu, Tsunade would naturally be kind to Hinata and the other two girls.

Tsunade even had an idea: after succeeding as the Fifth Hokage, should she take Hinata and the other girls under her wing and have them, along with Karin, learn from Shizune from a young age? Then, when Yagyu becomes the Sixth Hokage, they could directly assume their positions and take control of important departments without having to be trained from scratch.

And so, time quickly came to the day when Tsunade succeeded as the Fifth Hokage.

During this period, Konoha not only announced the news, but also posted notices throughout Konoha and various bustling cities in the Land of Fire.

The entire Land of Fire, and even the ninja world, knew that Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and one of the legendary Sannin, would succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

After many years, the rule of Konoha has once again returned to the Senju clan.

April 23, Konoha Year 60.

"Yagyu...Yagyu-kun, these are your clothes."

"Thank you, Karin. Also... could you wipe your nosebleed?"

"Hehe... Yagyu-kun has such a great body!"

The second floor of the Yagyu family's house.

At this moment, Karin, with a tissue stuffed in her nose, was looking at Yagyu with a lovesick expression, completely different from her shyness a while ago.

Liu Sheng, who had just finished his morning training, was seen walking out of the bathroom wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.

With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, he stands out from his peers.

His consistent early morning training, day after day, regardless of the sweltering summer or freezing winter, whether it was windy or rainy, has left his physique bearing the marks of time and hard work. His muscles are firm and his curves are beautiful, making him the perfect clothes hanger—slim when dressed, muscular when undressed.

Combined with the fact that he had just taken a shower, his wet and disheveled silver hair gave him an aura of perfect masculinity, as if he had been given a shimmering golden special effect.

Let alone Karin, even Ino and Sakura would probably get nosebleeds if they saw this.

As for Hinata, whose immunity is the weakest, she would definitely faint instantly from the heat.

Yagyu took the clothes from Karin and put them on.

She wore black pants on her lower body and a white short-sleeved shirt on her upper body.

On the back of the garment, a large fire character was embroidered in red thread.

This is the outfit I wore to the inauguration ceremony. Yagyu had only mentioned it casually a few days ago, and Tsunade had already adopted it, causing Konoha's clothing stores to suddenly see a surge in business these days.

Not only was Yagyu wearing such a short shirt, but Karin was also wearing one.

After the two left their house, the pedestrians on the street were also wearing similar clothes.

Upon arriving at the agreed meeting point, Hinata and the other girls were already waiting for Yagyu and his companion.

Standing next to Hinata was a small figure, Hanabi.

They were all wearing white short-sleeved shirts at the time.

"Onii-chan, over here, over here..."

Hanabi, who was unusually not wearing a kimono, kept waving her little hand at Yagyu.

Yagyu smiled and raised his hand in response. When she got closer, Hanabi threw herself into Yagyu's arms, hugged his neck, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Soon, Hanabi moved from Yagyu's arms to his back, her face beaming with smiles.

In the past few days, the person whose relationship with Liu Sheng has improved the most is undoubtedly his sister-in-law, who was a stranger just a few days ago.

In just a few days, Yagyu captivated Hanabi, who, despite her precociousness, was still just a seven-year-old child.

There was no way around it; Yagyu had given them far too much.

Hanabi, whose personality already harbors a hidden admiration for strength, became Yagyu's lackey immediately upon seeing the gift he gave her: an S-rank sealing technique marked in red and capable of storing chakra.

In addition, Yagyu's personality is as gentle as his sister's. In front of him, she doesn't need to follow the same etiquette as she does in front of her father and clan elders. Hanabi, who is naturally lively, quickly lets her true nature out in front of Yagyu.

"Let's go, the succession ceremony should be starting soon."

Carrying Hanabi on his back, Yagyu and his group walked and talked until they reached the open space below the Hokage Building.

The open space was already packed with people, and the surrounding streets were also incredibly crowded.

Some people couldn't find a spot, so they even climbed onto the utility poles.

Most of the people, like Yagyu and his group, wore white shirts embroidered with the red fire character.

All eyes were focused on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, the tallest building in Konoha, as everyone awaited the appearance of that beautiful figure.

Yagyu and his group arrived at a location that was relatively far back, but where they could still see the Hokage Building.

Tsunade didn't keep everyone waiting long.

Soon, a figure appeared on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, a woman who, despite wearing a loose tea-green robe that resembled a kimono, could not conceal her voluptuous figure, and whose light yellow hair seemed to radiate golden light under the sunlight.

Gazing at that figure, countless women, whether commoners or ninjas, old or young, all developed a fanatical and worshipful look in their eyes, just like Ino and the other girls had done a few days earlier.

Excitement and jubilation were already ringing out from different directions.

"It's Lady Tsunade! I've finally met her in person!"

"It's so beautiful, it's exactly the same as the picture in the textbook."

"So many years have passed, yet Lady Tsunade hasn't changed at all. How does she maintain her skin?"

"..."

Looking down at the crowd, Tsunade spotted many familiar faces. Smiling, she pulled a straw hat with the character for "fire" on it from behind her back, raised her hand, and declared in a bold tone:

"I've kept you waiting! From today onwards, I will govern Konoha. I... am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, who liked to give speeches, Tsunade didn't waste any words and directly declared her sovereignty.

"Whoa... Lady Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage!"

The atmosphere below was instantly ignited, with all the civilians and a large number of ninjas chanting Tsunade's name.

The cheers resounded through the sky.

Looking at Tsunade, who was wearing the Hokage hat and waving to the crowd below from the rooftop, Yagyu smiled.

From this moment on, Konoha finally turned a new page and officially entered the era of Tsunade.

From that moment on, Yagyu became the Crown Prince of Konoha, second only to the leader.

With Tsunade's protection, he no longer needed to worry about being targeted, nor did he need to worry about being accused of treason after rebelling.

He now possesses unbridled privileges.

Because no matter what mistakes he makes, Tsunade will protect him!

Once he reveals his Wood Release, the entire Leaf Village will protect him!

Those who oppose him are all traitors.

Aside from a few sensitive abilities, Yagyu no longer needs to hide his strength and can now openly step onto the stage of Konoha and even the ninja world.

------

The privileges of the Crown Prince of Konoha were greater than Yagyu had imagined.

He quickly received the first wave of benefits that came with this identity.

The benefits were so great that even Yagyu was somewhat overwhelmed.

The day after the succession ceremony, in the Hokage's office, which had been renovated.

Tsunade glanced at Ino and the other girls who were helping Shizune move all of Hiruzen Sarutobi's belongings in and out of the office, then suddenly looked at Yagyu, who was sitting on the sofa helping to organize and categorize scrolls, documents, and books, and asked, "Yagyu, what is your chakra nature?"

"Water, earth, wind, thunder," Liu Sheng replied without looking up.

"Four kinds?"

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction: "Counting the Yin of genjutsu and the Yang of wood release, you now have six attributes. You're just one element left to master: fire. Then you'll be an all-attribute physique like your great-grandfather."

After saying that, Tsunade suddenly opened a drawer, took out two scrolls, and tossed them to Yagyu, saying, "Catch!"

Catching the incoming scroll, Yagyu finally looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression and asked, "Tsunade-neechan, what is this?"

"One is a teleportation scroll similar to the Reverse Summoning Technique, and the other is a sealing technique to open the Book of Seals."

Tsunade pointed to the cubicle in the Hokage's office and smiled, "Finish reading the sealing techniques first. Then go down to the cubicle, open another scroll, and just like using a storage scroll, input chakra to activate the technique on the scroll. You will then be teleported to the Forbidden Techniques Library."

"You can look at any of the forbidden ninjutsu in the Forbidden Technique Library, including the Book of Sealing Techniques, whichever one you like."

"what?"

Yagyu stared blankly at Tsunade, a rare expression of utter astonishment on his face.

Tsunade was very pleased with Yagyu's reaction and couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with your sister's gift?"

"But...but..."

After regaining his senses, Yagyu's voice, unusually, became stammering: "The Scroll of Sealing, isn't it a forbidden book kept by the successive Hokage, and only the Hokage can see it?"

"Yes, now it's my turn to keep it safe, so of course I can do whatever I want with it."

Tsunade said matter-of-factly, "Besides, the Book of Sealing was created by my great-grandfather to seal away my second grandfather's extremely dangerous techniques. Most of the techniques in it were developed by my second grandfather, and it's considered part of the Senju clan's heritage. What's wrong with you seeing it?"

Tsunade got up and went to Yagyu's side. She patted his head and said with a smile, "You are the perfect creation of our Senju clan. Not only did you awaken your great-grandfather's Wood Release, but you also inherited your great-grandfather's Water Release and ninjutsu talents. Such talent cannot be wasted."

Moreover, given that you knew how to conceal yourself at the age of seven, I believe that with your wisdom and rationality, you will not fall into the abyss of forbidden arts, but will instead, like your second grandfather, master them all and turn them into your own weapons.

"Tsunade-neechan..."

Looking at Tsunade, who was full of confidence in him, Yagyu felt a warm current suddenly surge in his heart, and then he felt a rare sense of guilt.

He hadn't expected Tsunade to be this kind of person to him.

The day after he succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, he was given the keys to the Forbidden Techniques Library and the Book of Sealing.

Although the Book of Seals was created by Hashirama Senju, most of the forbidden techniques within it were indeed developed by Tobirama Senju.

But this thing can only be viewed by Naruto fans, and it's also real.

Even if others have outstanding achievements and merits that can be exchanged for forbidden techniques, they can only obtain a separate scroll of a forbidden technique.

Moreover, this scroll is not a permanent possession; it must be returned on time and cannot be passed on to others.

Therefore, Yagyu did not have any intention of obtaining the Book of Seals and the scroll of forbidden techniques from Tsunade in his plan.

His plan was to use the Uzumaki clan's Death God Mask to rescue the souls of the past Hokage, and then, as a descendant of the Senju clan, obtain all of Tobirama Senju's forbidden techniques, as well as Hashirama Senju's Wood Release secrets.

Now, just two days after becoming Hokage, Tsunade has broken the rules by giving Yagyu the keys to the Forbidden Techniques Library and the Book of Sealing, allowing him to enter and look at them at will.

This unexpected scene caught Yagyu completely off guard.

Because Tsunade's doting affection was too heavy!

After all, only Yagyu knew that his identity as a descendant of the Senju clan was actually fake.

Tsunade was so kind to him that Yagyu felt a rare sense of guilt for having deceived a good person.

However, it must be said that Tsunade's actions caused Yagyu's goodwill towards her to skyrocket.

Just like Kurenai Yuhi's kindness in teaching him, Yagyu has decided to repay Tsunade properly in the future.

So, Yagyu gripped the scroll tightly, his eyes hardening, and smiled confidently at Tsunade, saying, "Thank you, Tsunade-neechan, I won't let you down!"

"Good girl!"

Tsunade ruffled Yagyu's hair again, then, as if remembering something, reminded him, "By the way, the teleportation scroll can only be used in the Hokage Building to avoid triggering the sensory barrier. Apparently, the Hokage Building was recently invaded by an unknown mysterious person. Including Orochimaru's incident, the entrance and location of the Forbidden Technique Library have been hidden. Only by using the teleportation scroll can you enter. If you want to watch ninjutsu in the future, come to the cubicle next to me."

"OK."

Liu Sheng nodded obediently, looking completely harmless.

Zhanjiang and Haikou are the final rounds. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. I live alone on the fourth floor with no buildings around to block the wind. I'm so scared!
