I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

As a mother, Tsunade is often incompetent, and she often says things like Maki is "not cute" or "I wish I could have someone else." However, she still quietly expresses her maternal love in her own way, which she is not used to showing outwardly, and takes on real responsibility.

For example, every night after Maki falls asleep, she, as a medical expert, would go to the other person to perform her unique medical techniques to relieve their fatigue, nourish their meridians, and strengthen their foundation.

Maki's boundless energy and rapid physical growth, far exceeding that of her peers, are not only due to the Senju bloodline and Wood Release, but also to Tsunade's tireless dedication every night.

Yun Ting was well aware of this, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Tsunade, have you forgotten? Maki has to train for four hours today. There's still plenty of time. Let's have a chat first, and then we can do it for Maki."

I almost forgot that Maki had doubled her training today!

Tsunade suddenly realized, then noticed Yun Ting's impatient look, and looked at her own still fair and smooth skin like that of a sixteen-year-old girl and her increasingly hot figure, and proudly smiled and said: "Then... let's 'exchange' for a while first."

They were an old married couple, so she had nothing to be ashamed of.

Soon, the two quickly returned to the bedroom, and after opening the soundproof barrier engraved in the room, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Despite Tsunade's fierce personality, she even takes the initiative when kissing someone before her marriage.

But when they actually clashed, Yun Ting was surprised to find that his opponent had made a complete 180-degree turn, becoming exceptionally gentle and tender.

This gave him a unique enjoyment, but also some regret that he hadn't had a chance to use the strange strength he had specifically sought out from the other party.

Of course, both of them are Thousand Hands, with strong physiques and extremely fast recovery abilities.

The battle was not only quite large in scale, but it also lasted for a long time.

To this end, Yunting specially prepared a soundproof barrier to prevent the children outside from being misled.

.......

Just as Yun Ting and Tsunade were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to concede defeat, Maki's special training was also drawing to a close.

Four hours of high-intensity training, although Maki's special physique means she won't suffer any aftereffects, she is still only four years old, and her body and potential have not yet been fully developed.

When she finally heard Aya Uchiha calmly say "It's over," her face, which was covered in sweat, relaxed, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath.

"You did a good job today." It was rare for Aya Uchiha to praise someone, but she was dressed neatly and showed no signs of fatigue as she walked over, handing Maki a bottle of prepared nutritional drink as she spoke.

As Maki took the drink and gulped it down without any regard for her ladylike image, a fleeting smile crossed her face.

Her praise just now truly came from the bottom of her heart.

As the eldest daughter of the Senju family, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Maki was actually more noble than those daimyo princesses. After awakening Wood Release, which was the starting point for most ninjas, she did not take advantage of her excellent talent and be perfunctory in the boring training. Instead, she always maintained a serious attitude.

Even though this extra four hours of training was required, she didn't complain at all and did her best to complete every training task according to her requirements.

With such talent and hard work, and at only four years old, it would be difficult for him not to achieve great things in the future.

The Senju clan has a successor!

Just as Aya Uchiha was feeling a little sentimental.

Across from her, Maki, having finished her drink in one gulp and fully recovered, relaxed and looked up at Aya Uchiha. Just as she was about to say something with a smile, she inadvertently noticed Aya's flat chest and suddenly subconsciously thought of what Tsunade had said earlier.

Unsure whether it was true or not, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Aunt Ling, is it better to go there, or is it better to go there?"

As Maki spoke, she pointed to the place that troubled Aya Uchiha the most in her life.

Following Maki's pointing finger, and looking down at the flat surface extending all the way to her feet, Aya Uchiha's face instantly turned terrifyingly dark.

"You seem to have a lot of energy, keep practicing!"

"what???"

......

Half an hour later, Maki, exhausted, returned to her bedroom, washed up, changed into a cute set of pajamas, and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.

Even now, she still doesn't understand why Aunt Ling suddenly got angry.

Isn't smaller a good thing?

If I really had to carry the burden of my mother, I would be much more tired even when I was fighting.

Ultimately, she was still young and did not understand the deeper meaning behind it.

But because of this, she was very troubled and did not fall asleep as quickly as usual.

Not long after, upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she turned her head and saw the person who had entered.

"Maki, you...aren't you asleep yet?" Tsunade said in surprise, and instinctively turned to leave.

"Alright, Mom, come in." Maki wasn't surprised at all. "If you want to criticize me like you always do, now's the time."

"You knew all along?" Tsunade paused, quite surprised that Maki knew she treated the other every night.

She still thought she had done something perfectly legitimate.

Maki stood up, rolled her eyes, and said, "Mom, you come every night, so frequently. Even if I didn't know at first, I'd find out eventually."

Then she added, "Mom, you really want to ask me why I didn't say it before when I knew, right?"

Tsunade nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Maki smiled knowingly and said:

"Hehe! Mom, do you really want me to spell it out? Here I come!"

"Dear Mom! I'm so touched by how you take care of me every night! I love you so much, Mom! Come here! Give me a kiss..."

"Stop! Maki, you stop right now!" Tsunade, feeling incredibly ashamed and uncomfortable, quickly waved her hand, her skin crawling with goosebumps.

"See~" Maki returned to normal, waved her hand, and said as if she had known this all along, "Mom, I know your personality too. If I were to have a mother-daughter hug and conversation with you, you would feel very uncomfortable."

Although it is said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother.

But just as a mother knows her daughter best.

Tsunade has always been someone who doesn't like romantic or sweet scenes.

For her, it's much better to tease each other and have a good time than to exchange mushy sentimental words.

Maki knew very well that her mother wasn't the type to play the sentimental card.

Unfortunately, Yunting didn't understand Maki as thoroughly back then, otherwise, he wouldn't have made so many preparations only to have his proposal's shadow clone run away, creating a dark history.

Since Tsunade herself was unwilling, or never even considered using this matter to strengthen the bond between mother and daughter, Maki simply went along with her wishes.

Since we bumped into each other today by chance, we'll have to talk it out.

The mother and daughter quickly readjusted.

Afterwards, seeing her mother carefully treating her body for the first time so clearly, Maki smiled brightly where Tsunade couldn't see.

Although she idolized her father, the person she got along with best and was most relaxed with at home was her mother, who was always bickering with her and never cared about her status as an elder.

Although she complained, she was actually very happy to have such a unique mother.

Seeing her mother's unusually serious expression, Maki smiled slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly smelled a strange odor coming from her mother. Curious, she asked, "Mom, you have a weird smell. What is it?"

As she spoke, Maki leaned closer to smell it again.

However, she had only moved halfway when suddenly her eyelids rolled back and she fell asleep instantly.

The next second, Tsunade, her face slightly flushed as she withdrew her fingers from Maki's head, scolded:

"Little brat, don't ask questions you shouldn't!"

Chapter 179 New Konoha

One night passed.

After breakfast the next day, Yun Ting, whose iron pestle still needed some time to be ground into a needle by his gentle hands, naturally refused Tsunade's request for money.

Having anticipated this, Tsunade, in the spirit of "the revolution still needs to be fought," wasn't too disappointed. But afterwards, she could only sit at home staring at her unlovable daughter, Maki.

Not to mention what might happen between the mother and daughter at home.

As Yun Ting, dressed in the Hokage's divine robes and wearing the golden dragon-head shoulder guards unique to the Shogun, marched from the Senju clan's territory toward the Hokage Building with members of the Shadow Guard, he saw Konoha villagers along the way, their faces rosy and full of life, greeting him enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Hokage-sama!"

"Lord Hokage, please try my family's newly made dumplings!"

"Going to work so early, truly worthy of the Hokage!"

Good morning, General!

"......"

Amidst the continuous greetings to the Hokage, there were occasionally a few greetings to the Shogun.

The so-called "General" naturally refers to the general of the Yunting Shogunate.

The reason for this phenomenon is that in the past five years, Yunting has completed the transformation of the political and economic center of the Land of Fire from the capital to Konoha.

Today, Konoha is no longer just a gathering place for ninjas and their families; it also brings together central officials and their families from the Land of Fire, as well as a large number of civilians and merchants from the Land of Fire who have moved there in recent years.

Yun Ting also specially invited the daimyo of the Land of Fire and his sons over, citing reasons such as recuperation and safety.

Konoha is now truly the new capital of the Land of Fire.

As the capital, it is no longer appropriate to call Konoha a "village" now, especially after multiple expansions that have made it much larger than before.

Of course, even before its expansion, Konoha was hardly a village.

It's just that it's more obvious now.

As you can see, the houses that used to be only two or three stories high on both sides of the street where Yunting Road passes are now mostly six or seven stories high.

This isn't even that high.

In the heart of Konoha, rows of exquisitely designed high-rise buildings stand side by side, giving Yun Ting a sense of returning to his past life.

In the Naruto world, where building cross-sea bridges is possible, constructing steel skyscrapers is naturally a piece of cake.

Especially since Yun Ting came to power, he not only spent a lot of effort collecting many scientific and technological talents in the ninja world to bring various innovations to Konoha and the Land of Fire, but also had people summarize and organize the many chaotic and scattered categories of knowledge into a real system, allowing science to develop comprehensively and systematically, thus gradually normalizing the ninja world's science, which had been severely unbalanced.

As a result of these measures, Konoha and the Land of Fire were able to enjoy the benefits brought by new technologies. At the same time, the emerging technology industries brought huge economic benefits to the Land of Fire and provided a large number of jobs, allowing many people in the Land of Fire to work and survive.

The thieves and bandits in the Land of Fire have now disappeared without a trace.

This is not only due to the impact of Yunting's vigorous efforts to improve public security, but also due to the booming domestic economy.

After all, only a minority of people are truly willing to become outlaws.

If there were a job to eat, who would want to live a life of constant danger, risking being killed by ninjas at any moment?
