Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

……

The recent events in Konoha are enough to keep people talking for a long time.

For the residents of Konoha, who had not yet emerged from the shadow of the Third Hokage's death, they were shocked by another piece of news.

With the consent of the two advisors and most of the Jonin, Shichiya's status as a rogue ninja was revoked.

Jiraiya explained that Shichiya was wronged and that he had investigated the truth of the matter, so he wanted to give Shichiya justice.

Well, this isn't really a big deal.

Now that the investigation was clear, everyone discussed it briefly, and then, quite tacitly, stopped paying attention to it.

but.

However, Jiraiya also mentioned that he had arranged a marriage for Nanaya with Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan.

Moreover, the Hyuga clan agreed.

Immediately, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was abuzz with discussion.

What is the Hyuga family?

It can be said that after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the Hyuga clan became the most powerful clan in Konoha.

That's one thing, but even powerful families can decline one day.

Just like the Uchiha clan, who were wiped out overnight, leaving only one survivor and another who defected.

But the Hyuga clan is a clan with a bloodline limit, so why would they agree to let the clan head's daughter marry out?

Many people who are familiar with this unspoken rule find it unbelievable.

This has led to a lot of discussion about the matter.

However, it was soon overshadowed by another matter.

The Sand Village responded to the previous attack on Konoha, saying they had been used. They discovered the body of the Fourth Kazekage somewhere in the Land of Wind, and that he had died before the Chunin Exams.

In other words, it was Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, who issued the order to attack Konoha; Sunagakure was merely being used.

They also announced their surrender, indicating that they did not want to go to war.

Konoha accepted the other side's surrender.

Konoha was not prepared for war.

Chapter 76: This is utterly unreasonable.

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

On the roof of a house.

Jiraiya was "gathering material" with a monocular telescope.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado appeared behind him.

"You're doing this boring thing again."

"Oh dear, it's just gathering material."

Jiraiya didn't turn his head back, but he did put down the binoculars in his hand.

He glanced at the two people behind him.

"My two advisors, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You ask me what's wrong? You should know without me saying anything."

When do you plan to succeed as Hokage?

The two advisors each spoke.

With the Third Hokage gone, a new Hokage is naturally needed.

And in Konoha now, is there anyone more suitable than Jiraiya?

"You said it yourself: lift the warrant for Shichiya's arrest, and you'll give us a Hokage."

"Yeah, I gave you guys a Hokage, but I never said I wanted to be the Hokage myself."

"Huh? What's this...?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. If I say I'll give you a Hokage, I'll give you a Hokage. Even if I don't become Hokage, there's still Tsunade, isn't there?"

"Tsunade..."

Upon hearing the name, the two advisors exchanged a glance.

Indeed, Tsunade is very suitable.

She is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, a disciple of the Third Hokage, and a princess officially recognized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. As one of the Legendary Sannin, she also played a significant role in Konoha's medical ninja system.

In terms of prestige, he is top-tier in Konoha.

"That child is indeed more suitable, but do you know where Tsunade is?"

"Well, you can find it if you want to."

"Is that so?"

The two advisors exchanged another glance.

A decision was made very quickly.

"In that case, we'll give you a month. If you still can't find one after a month, then we'll announce to the public that you are the new Hokage, and the Daimyo will agree."

"Oh dear, this is really troublesome!"

……

the other side.

"This is completely unreasonable!"

Kurenai seemed very angry; even though she was walking down the street, she still had a cold expression on her face.

It mainly concerns Hinata Hyuga.

Previously, as Hinata Hyuga's mentor Jonin, she went to Hiashi Hyuga and said that since the Hyuga clan had abandoned Hinata Hyuga, they should stop worrying about Hinata Hyuga's affairs.

But what's going on now? Hinata Hyuga has been engaged? And the groom is Nanaya?

She did know Qi Ye; she had even worked under him before.

That so-called research department still exists. Back then, Shichiya was the head, but he isn't anymore.

At that time, I admired Nanaya a lot, after all, he was able to build an airship, and once he even built a glider and carried Mitarashi Anko around Konoha a few times.

But despite her admiration, no matter what achievements Nanaichi has made, it cannot hide the fact that he is older than Kurenai Yuhi.

"What exactly is the Hyuga clan leader thinking?"

"Well, I heard that it was Jiraiya-sama who personally went to him to arrange the marriage. Perhaps there are some hidden reasons that we don't know about."

Asma, who was smoking a cigarette, waved his hand, signaling not to say anything more.

That's a family matter after all. Although they said they gave up Hinata Hyuga, it was only as an heir that they gave up her. They didn't say they disowned her, much less that they would expel her from the family.

"But this is so unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Um... wait? Kakashi?"

"Hey, you two, you seem to have a really good relationship."

"What? I was just buying dumplings for Hongdou."

Kurenai seemed to blush slightly all of a sudden.

Asma might have a thicker skin.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?"

"I just bought a notebook that was just delivered from the Land of Snow, and I'm just waiting for someone here."

As Kakashi said this, his eyes glanced at the shop on the side.

The curtain blocked the view, so all that could be seen was a black dress with red clouds.

"Waiting for Sasuke."

"Oh!"

Asuma and Kurenai also glanced in that direction.

"It's rare to see you waiting for others. By the way, did you go buy notebooks again?"

Well, that's about all my hobbies.

"..."

……

On the other side, Nanaya walked alone towards Ichiraku Ramen.

It just stopped suddenly, as if it had sensed something.

"That aura... Oh ho ho, the little kid from back then has grown up."

I sighed and didn't pay any more attention.

He knew about Uchiha Itachi, but they had no interaction. He had only seen him a few times on the street when he was young.

Because he was a famous character in the story, Nanaya remembered him.

But this is not important.

Lifting the curtain and entering Ichiraku Ramen, I found Naruto Uzumaki there, wearing only a pair of shorts, shaking his clothes and saying things like "How strange".

Isn't his behavior even stranger?

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki seemed to notice Nanaya entering as well, and paused for a moment.

A closed right eye, a red left eye, a white lab coat...
