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

Chapter 415 The Hokage's Legacy!

The Fourth Hokage, who just moments before declared to all the people of Konoha that "I will be in charge of the village."

The next moment, after he returned to the Hokage's office, his true colors were fully revealed.

"Now I will issue the Fourth Hokage's first Hokage order!"

Wearing the Hokage's hat and a white robe, Nara Rinka, dressed in full regalia, solemnly gave instructions to the rest of the people in the Hokage's office.

The Fourth Hokage's first order!

Tsunade, Shikaku Nara, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others who followed Nara Rin into the Hokage's office all wore extremely solemn expressions.

Nara Rinkaku said.

"Replace this desk with a coffee table, and replace that wooden chair behind it with a sofa... That's all."

Ok?

That's it?

What the hell is this?!

The solemn expressions of Tsunade and the others lasted for less than a few seconds before they all broke down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched, and he suddenly began to doubt whether his previous decision had been too rash.

If Minato had become the Fourth Hokage, he probably wouldn't have made such a frivolous Hokage order, right?

But no matter what...

The Fourth Hokage's first order after taking office...

Everyone still needs to abide by the rules.

"As far as I know, the Raikage's office in Kumogakure has a similar design style..."

Nara Shikaku, who was used to being a tool, stepped forward and smoothed things over for everyone present.

At the same time, he also made hand seals to create several shadow clones, urging them to carry out the Fourth Hokage's orders.

"Nara...no."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his tune and adopted a more formal form of address.

"Fourth generation, come with me. I have some things to tell you."

Since the establishment of the ninja village system, the second, third, and even fourth kage of each ninja village have almost always succeeded in taking over after the previous kage "gloriously died in the line of duty".

There is almost no other example in the current history of the ninja world of Hiruzen Sarutobi who "retired in glory".

(The Third Mizukage of the neighboring Kirigakure village is not far from dying in the line of duty...)

Since it was an orderly retirement, rather than a sudden death.

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally had many things to tell Nara Rinkei, the new Hokage.

This includes many important secrets that only the Hokage is qualified to know.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's summons, Nara Rankei was momentarily at a loss for words.

He looked at Tsunade, intending to request "help from outside the arena".

That was agreed upon back then.

If he succeeds in being elected Hokage.

Nara Rinka can "enjoy the rights of Hokage without fulfilling the obligations of Hokage"!

To Nara Rin's great disappointment, Tsunade not only did not accept his request for help, but also deliberately looked away.

Through the huge round window of the Hokage's office, Tsunade solemnly admired the sculpture work that had just begun on the Hokage Rock not far away.

With the Fourth Hokage taking over, the Mount Rushmore of Konoha (just kidding) – the Hokage Rock – naturally needs another big head.

Although there are many ninjas in Konoha who are proficient in Earth Release techniques.

Among them are elite ninjas who can sculpt four dog heads with a single earth-escape technique.

However, Konoha still chose to have ordinary people do the carving of the Hokage Rock.

This is probably a unique tradition of Konoha...

Seeing that Tsunade was avoiding his gaze, Nara took a decisive action and spoke.

"Tsunade-neechan!"

Before Tsunade could respond, Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded her.

"Fourth Hokage, what I'm about to tell you is something that only the Hokage can know."

The granddaughters of the first and second generations, the disciples of the third generation, and the... well, the sugar daddies of the fourth generation.

How is Tsunade's status in Konoha Village different from that of the Hokage?

Nara Rinka secretly rolled her eyes.

Big fat sheep, tonight you'll see just how severe the punishment is for breaking your oath!

Nara Rinka activated his Yin Release chakra, and his shadow immediately began to change shape.

A shadow deer, whose shape was almost identical to that of the Five-Tailed King, emerged from under Nara Rinka and carried him on its back.

Is this how you Nara clan use your Yin Release techniques?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes twitched a few more times, and an inexplicable rage rose in his heart.

Nara Rinka pretended not to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and simply raised his hand to signal to him.

"Lord Third Generation, where are you going? Surely you don't need me to give you a ride?"

"Need not!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi responded curtly, then turned and walked toward the door of the Hokage's office.

But just as he reached the door, a shout came from outside.

"Make way! Make way—oh, Lord Sandai, please make way too—"

Several Nara Shikakus were carrying sofas and coffee tables, intending to enter the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that his white goat beard trembled.

However, considering his status and reputation, he managed to hold back his outburst and instead obediently chose—

Jump out the window!

"A youthful face and white hair, walking with incredible agility... the Third Hokage's training has reached its pinnacle..."

Nara Rinkachi controlled the Shadow Deer and followed Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements.

Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped out of the Hokage's office window, landing on the ground near the Hokage Building, and then went inside the Hokage Building.

Nara Rinka disregarded everything else and simply followed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The two walked through the Hokage Building, passed through a hidden door, entered the underground of the Hokage Building, and then passed through a dark and narrow spiral staircase, moving quickly through the cramped and complicated passageway.

Along the way, Hiruzen Sarutobi opened countless secret mechanisms and broke through numerous sealing barriers, explaining each step of the process in detail.

Nara Rinka kept Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions in mind.

Finally, the two arrived at a specially made gate made of high-quality steel.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the door and led the way into the secret chamber.

"This secret room contains almost all the high-level ninjutsu scrolls, intelligence data, and secret information that the village has collected over the years. Only the Hokage is qualified to enter this secret room."

Hiruzen Sarutobi surveyed the specially constructed secret room in front of him, which resembled a library, for a while, then pointed to the most conspicuous huge scroll in the room.

"That scroll is the village's true core heritage—the Book of Sealing!"

According to Nara Rinka, there are several "copies" of the Book of Seals in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had previously given him a simplified version of the "Book of Seals" table of contents scroll.

In addition, Hiruzen Sarutobi's house may also contain a special version of the "Book of Seals," which probably records key information about the A-rank technique, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

But the large scroll in the secret room should be the complete version of "The Book of Seals".

"For the next period of time, your most important task, Fourth Generation, is to memorize all the information and data in this secret room."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and looked at Nara Rinka, his expression somewhat complicated.

"This place, and the village, are all entrusted to you..."

"The Yondaime."
