I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 327 The Princess of the Thousand Hands Sends a Signal That She's a Kept Man!

"Huh? I'm not the Hokage."

In the underground research institute of Kikyo Castle, Nara Rinka, who had just returned from the front lines of the Land of Hot Water, looked at Tsunade with considerable surprise.

"Why are you asking me, an ordinary Jonin, for my opinion on the Five Kage Summit?"

"Furthermore, the decision of who to select for the Five Kage Summit... only the Third Hokage can make that, right?"

Since the various ninja villages agreed to a ceasefire, Nara Rinka has been returning to Kikyo Castle from the Land of Hot Water more frequently.

After all, they still needed to conserve some chakra to deal with the possibility of enemy village attacks at any time.

Now that the Third Shinobi World War is basically over, Nara Rinkei no longer needs to deliberately reserve any chakra to deal with large-scale attacks...

What Nara Rinka didn't expect was that after returning to Kikyo Castle, before he could even personally teach Tsunade how to use [Wood Release], he was instead presented with a completely baffling question.

Konoha has decided to participate in the Five Kage Summit. Who are the ideal participants?

Nara Rinka had absolutely no interest in the Five Kage Summit.

This kind of thing sounds incredibly troublesome.

Instead of wasting Nara Rankei's brain cells thinking about the Five Kage Summit, he should spend more time figuring out how to feed the fat sheep...

"A regular Jonin?"

Tsunade's gaze turned somewhat strange.

"Nara, don't you seem a little unaware of your current reputation and status?"

In Tsunade's view, given Nara Rin's illustrious reputation and outstanding achievements in the Third Shinobi World War, he should at least be worthy of the title of "Fourth Hokage Candidate"!

This is supposed to be a "regular Jonin"?

"Reputation and status? Those are all empty things."

Nara Ranke shook his head, completely ignoring the two points Tsunade had mentioned.

"Tsunade, think about it carefully. Although everyone regards you as one of the Legendary Sannin, when you go to the gambling den and lose money, will anyone still care about your reputation and status?"

Tsunade's charming face instantly fell.

Nara Rinka touched his chin and continued speaking.

"Hmm... that example seems a bit inappropriate. The bookmakers in the gambling dens will still care about your reputation and status. After all, a big fat sheep like you with such a high reputation won't run away with your gambling debts—"

"Nara..."

Tsunade spoke softly, revealing a very kind smile.

"Would you like to experience the incredible feat of having all your bones broken without shedding a single drop of blood?"

"Feel sorry!"

Nara Rinka immediately wiped the faint smile off his face and bowed his head in apology under the enormous threat of the fat sheep.

"I was too rash!"

"Good to know!"

Tsunade stretched out her finger and poked Nara Ranka's ribs hard. The latter showed a pained expression at the right time, although he did not feel any pain.

I'm doing my best to cooperate with your performance...

"Hiss~"

Tsunade took a deep breath and withdrew her slightly aching fingertips.

"Nara, how exactly did your body grow? I clearly remember when I first met you, you were severely deficient—"

"Ahem, watch your wording! What I had wasn't a deficiency, but an imbalance between my spiritual and physical energy caused by a cultivation error!"

Nara Ranka coughed heavily twice, interrupting Tsunade.

"Once the problem is solved, the body will naturally grow."

"I have a feeling that things aren't as simple as you say."

Tsunade looked at Nara Rangsuke with some suspicion.

If it weren't for her hemophobia, she would have been eager to study Nara Ranka's body in more detail...

"So you want to take a closer look?"

Nara Rinka noticed Tsunade's gaze, and generously opened his arms, waiting for her to come closer.

"It's okay, you can use my body whether it's day or night."

Tsunade was instantly defeated.

She's not a shameless person like Nara Ranka.

"I'm not going to argue with you about these trivial things!"

Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, trying to maintain her composure and magnanimity, as if she were holding a fluffy, soft ball of fat.

"Let's get back to the main topic!"

"I told you about the Five Kage Summit before because the village has been arguing about it for the past two days. However, you are too far away on the front lines to be clear about the issues involved."

"The war's over, have the villagers become so bored?"

Nara Rinka tried to pull his gaze away from the abyss of fat jade, but unfortunately, Tsunade's evil power was simply too tempting.

"It's just a Five-Kings Summit, what's there to argue about?"

"Besides, nobody even knows what the Five Kage Summit is actually going to discuss!"

"You misunderstood, Nara."

Tsunade kept her arms crossed over her chest and shook her head.

"The point of contention is not how the Five Shadows Summit should be conducted, but who should be sent to negotiate."

"Currently, the village's Jonin are mostly focusing their attention on Orochimaru and Minato."

"Um?"

Nara Rinka finally raised her head.

"Isn't the Third Hokage participating?"

"What are you thinking!"

Tsunade remained silent.

"Everyone's arguing about who the old man brought with him! Was he bringing Orochimaru or Minato?"

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze...

Nara Rinka instantly understood Tsunade's true meaning.

He hadn't realized it before simply because he wasn't interested in the Five Kage Summit and his attention wasn't on the topic at all.

But after realizing it...

"So it's the Fourth Hokage!"

Nara Rinkaku sighed in admiration and immediately became interested.

"Has the election for the Fourth Hokage started so early? The Jonin are all vying for it, does that mean the Jonin trust vote has already begun?"

"Is Watergate in a commanding lead?"

"Your reaction is really unexpected."

Tsunade looked at Nara Rinka with some surprise.

"Nara, you think highly of Minato?"

"Of course, it's a little sun~"

The chef across the street from Nara Rangsuke was full of praise.

"If I were the Third Hokage, facing Orochimaru and Minato, these two 'successors'..."

"There might be a million reasons to choose Orochimaru as the Fourth Hokage, but there's not a single reason not to choose Minato Namikaze. That's the Little Sun's charisma!"

"I'm starting to wonder if Minato has bewitched you..."

Tsunade muttered something under her breath, then put her hands on her hips and looked solemnly at Nara Rinka.

"Hey, Nara! I have a question for you."

"Speak!" Nara Ranka nodded. "Speak freely and without reservation."

Tsunade took a deep breath.

"Why did you only list Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze as your successors?"

"……Um?"

Nara Rinka blinked, looking at Tsunade's pretty face, and a guess arose in her mind.

Thinking he had grasped Tsunade's meaning, Nara Rinkei decisively abandoned his Little Sun, which he had just been boasting about, and chose to join the true "faction of justice."

Fat sheep are justice!

"Alright, since the atmosphere has been built up to this point, I won't hold back!"

Nara Rinka raised his hands high, making a cheering gesture.

"I am a thousand-armed supremacist!"

"Princess of the Thousand Hands, your eternally loyal servant, Nara Ranke, awaits your service!"

Tsunade's lips curled up slightly.

She was very satisfied with Nara Rinka's "loyalty," if only his gaze hadn't been so frivolous and presumptuous...

but.

I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about you.

The princess of the Thousand Hands has signaled that she is going to be a kept woman.

"Nara, do you want to become the fourth generation?"

Please check back tomorrow at noon for the second update...
