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

Chapter 453 From Konoha Year 68!

Fourth-generation Yan Yan... Uncle?

Minato Namikaze subconsciously ignored the rather age-sounding suffix and shifted his gaze to Nara Ranka's face.

Speaking of which, Lan Gui and Kakashi were ninjas of the same age, right?

He's actually being called an "uncle"?

Minato Namikaze felt a strange sense of joy.

But he suddenly realized that Nara Rinka's gaze was also fixed on his face.

etc--

"The fourth generation of Uncle Yan Yan?"

Minato Namikaze stiffly turned his neck to look at Naruto Uzumaki, who was staring at him with shining eyes.

"Are you... calling me?"

"Of course! Fourth-generation Uncle Yan Yan!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded with great delight.

"I was wondering if I'd seen you somewhere before! You really do look exactly like the fourth generation of Yan Yanshang!"

At this point, Naruto shifted his gaze from Minato Namikaze to Tsunade, who was idly standing by, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Grandma Tsunade! Is that you?!"

The four members of the Konoha team—Nara Rinkazu, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Shisui—were all "strangers" whom Uzumaki Naruto had never met before.

But the last one is someone Naruto Uzumaki is very familiar with!

Back then, it was he and the perverted sage who brought Granny Tsunade back to the village together!

If it weren't for him and the perverted sage, Granny Tsunade might still be running around the world hiding from debt collectors!

Naruto's "call" immediately caught Tsunade's attention.

Tsunade, her forehead veins bulging, approached with a very dangerous smile.

"Little brat..."

Tsunade concentrated her chakra into her fair, delicate fist, her smile growing even gentler.

"What did you just call me?"

"Grandma Tsunade—"

boom!

Naruto's nonsensical remark was "stuffed" back into his stomach by Tsunade's [Super Strength] straight punch.

But along with this sentence, the giant puppet that was binding Naruto Uzumaki was also interrupted.

Smoke billowed into the sky, and puppet fragments flew in all directions like hidden weapons.

Minato Namikaze, his eyelids twitching wildly, chose to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge the attack just before Tsunade threw her punch.

"Lady Tsunade's fists are a million times more terrifying than Kushina's... I heard that Jiraiya-sensei was almost killed by one of Lady Tsunade's punches..."

Nara Ranke shook his head and dispelled the Shadow Armor Technique blocking his way.

Naruto Uzumaki, you have guts!

"It really was Granny Tsunade's fist!"

Naruto's cry of pain could be heard from within the smoke.

"Even Sakura couldn't deliver such a powerful punch."

Upon hearing this voice, Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly.

She attacked in anger.

Although she held back a bit because of the other party's identity as a Konoha ninja.

But judging from the force of that punch, even Jiraiya should have been knocked unconscious.

But that blond brat not only didn't faint, but he also spoke with a strong voice.

This blond kid is actually more resilient than I thought...

Could it be because of the Nine-Tails' chakra?

A tremendous roar echoed throughout the puppet manufacturing base.

The people of Loulan retreated much faster.

Uchiha Shisui left a Shadow Clone to assist Sara, while his main body immediately rushed over and joined Nara Ranke and the others.

"Shisui, have your Shadow Clone take Queen Sara up there with you."

Nara Rinkazu watched the dissipating smoke and squinted his eyes.

"There is a matter of great importance concerning the future of Konoha, which we Konoha people need to discuss and handle ourselves."

"The future of the village..."

Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a moment.

"Fourth Hokage, should I... also avoid this area?"

Uchiha Shisui felt genuine joy and excitement at his captain becoming the Fourth Hokage.

However, he was also aware of the Uchiha clan's awkward position within Konoha.

As he grew older and his strength increased, Uchiha Shisui became increasingly aware of clan affairs.

The Uchiha clan's status within Konoha can be summarized in one sentence.

The Konoha Police Department belongs to the Uchiha clan; and the only thing the Uchiha clan owns is the Konoha Police Department.

The Uchiha clan had absolutely no say in the village's normal affairs.

But then Nara Ranka suddenly blurted out, "This concerns the future of Konoha..."

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui really wanted to ask: Fourth Hokage, is it really okay for my Uchiha clan to be served at the table right now?

It wasn't just Uchiha Shisui.

Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby, also cast a glance at them.

Compared to the Uchiha clan, Minato Namikaze, who was of pure lineage, held a higher status within Konoha Village.

However, even though Minato Namikaze had one of the three legendary Sannin as his teachers, he felt that he was not qualified to participate in such an important topic as "Konoha's Future".

"Avoid what?"

Nara Rinka rolled her eyes and almost kicked Uchiha Shisui.

"Who knows, there might be something related to your Uchiha clan in that 'Konoha Future' later!"

"Go and come back quickly!"

After saying this, Nara Rinkazu looked at Namikaze Minato.

"Brother Shuimen, you're the same."

"You heard how the other person addressed you just now, didn't you?"

"The other party could indeed be from the future, but... perhaps not the future we know."

"Also, you might not have heard of this ninja's name; it's Naruto Uzumaki!"

swirl……

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted slightly.

He could sense what Nara Rinka and Tsunade could sense, and even more clearly than the two of them.

Nine-Tails chakra, plus the Uzumaki clan name...

Minato Namikaze also decisively stayed.

Uchiha Shisui also stayed where he was, but created another Shadow Clone to carry out the task that Nara Rinka had just given him.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

Naruto Uzumaki appeared before the Konoha quartet.

"Naruto Uzumaki, come here."

Nara Rinka waved to the fox boy.

"Do you know Tsunade?"

Naruto Uzumaki is just thick-skinned, not stupid.

Looking at Tsunade's icy expression, Naruto's legs seemed rooted to the ground, and he didn't dare to move.

He can take a beating, that's for sure.

But I don't like getting beaten up!

Grandma Tsunade's fists really hurt when she hits someone!

"Of course I know him!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded.

"Grandma Tsunade is the fifth Hokage of the village!"

Although it's unclear why both the "Fourth Generation Yan Yan Uncle" and the "Fifth Generation Tsunade Granny" were present.

The opposing team's leader was an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a pineapple-shaped haircut...

However, Naruto Uzumaki still trusted the other party very much.

Putting aside other things.

Tsunade is just standing there!

Naruto Uzumaki didn't believe the others.

Doesn't he trust Tsunade?

That's a comrade-in-arms of the lustful immortal!

The Fifth Hokage of Konoha!

The Godaime?

I?

A rather strange feeling welled up inside Tsunade.

How could I possibly become the Hokage?!

Naruto Uzumaki's revelation of the Fifth Hokage's remarks also shocked Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

They weren't shocked by the fact that Tsunade had become the Fifth Hokage.

In Konoha Village, starting with the Fourth Hokage, Tsunade was absolutely qualified to become any Hokage she wanted!

What shocked Minato Namikaze and the others was that... Konoha had chosen the Fifth Hokage so quickly!

What about the fourth generation?

Nara Rinka glanced at the three people beside her and deliberately asked a question.

"What year is it now?"

"Of course..."

Naruto Uzumaki wanted to answer immediately, but before he could finish, he quietly started counting on his fingers.

"Um, it should be Konoha 68."

What does "should" mean?

"Arithmetic isn't my strong suit..."

Naruto responded somewhat weakly, but as he spoke, he suddenly realized something.

"Why did Uncle Pineapple Head ask me such a simple question?"

Nara Rinka, suppressing the urge to correct Naruto's way of addressing him, spoke expressionlessly.

"Because this year marks the 50th anniversary of Konoha."

"What???"

"You must be from the future, eighteen years from now."

Nara Rinka continued, her face expressionless, as she added.

"And it's not the future of our world."

Let me introduce myself again.

"Nara's Crown Prince, the Fourth Hokage."
