I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

In the end, he could only accept the Hokage hat blankly, and then slowly put this hat, which countless people longed for and pursued, on his head.

Beside him, the Third Hokage took a deep breath and loudly announced, "Hereby I declare Senju Kumo-tei to be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

The next moment, the entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted in cheers and jubilation.

"The Yondaime! The Yondaime! The Yondaime..."

Chapter Two: I Actually Became the Fourth Hokage

"The Yondaime! The Yondaime! The Yondaime..."

The entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted in cheers as all the villagers shouted for their new Hokage.

Although he was forced into the role, Yun Ting couldn't help but feel excited in the enthusiastic atmosphere.

After all, this is the Hokage!

Anyone who has read the original work knows its high status and how many people yearn for it.

But today, he has somehow managed to gain this opportunity, something that was previously just a small, unnoticed college student.

Suddenly rising to a high position and becoming the focus of attention, it's natural to feel excited.

However, in his excitement, Yun Ting suddenly remembered that the Third Hokage had mentioned his full name before: Senju Yun Ting.

Thousand Hands?

Is it the Thousand Hands?

I remember that in the original work, apart from the First and Second Hokage, the only other members of the Senju clan who appeared were Tsunade and Nawaki.

The latter tragically met his end, leaving only Tsunade as the sole survivor of the Senju clan.

So what's the deal with my Thousand Hands Cloud Court?

I've never heard of such a person in the original work.

Moreover, he has now become the Fourth Hokage.

Could it be because I time-traveled?

As Yun Ting waved and greeted the enthusiastic villagers of Konoha around him, he thought to himself,

'Speaking of which, could Minato Namikaze have disappeared because of his own actions?'

Yun Ting looked down at the crowd below.

At this moment, most of those at the forefront were Jonin from Konoha.

Examples include the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of this generation, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, the still-living Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, and the Hyuga clan brothers Hiashi and Hizashi, etc.

Seeing the characters who once appeared in the comics now standing vividly in front of him, each gazing at him with a different expression, Yun Ting felt a deep sense of emotion.

After observing for a while, he finally spotted that gleaming golden hair in the crowd.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze clapped with a smile tinged with regret.

Noticing that Yun Ting was looking over, he was slightly taken aback, then raised a bright smile without a trace of malice to congratulate the man.

'Leaving aside the enemies of Konoha, to the people of our village, Minato Namikaze was a saint, perfect in both character and ability. I don't know what I've done to deserve being chosen as Hokage over him.'

As Yun Ting sighed inwardly and was about to return Minato Namikaze's smile, a slender arm suddenly entered his field of vision and wrapped around the latter's neck.

Beside Minato Namikaze, a beautiful young female ninja with long red hair and a pretty face pressed Minato's head firmly into her ample bosom, stroking his head with both hands while casually comforting him.

Looking at Minato Namikaze's face, which was only partially visible yet still radiant with happiness, and smelling the overwhelming stench of their romance that could be detected from afar, Yun Ting knew without a doubt that the red-haired woman was Kushina Uzumaki, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Naruto's future mother.

He had initially felt apologetic towards Minato Namikaze, but after experiencing the immense damage that the two of them had caused him, a perpetual bachelor, all traces of remorse vanished.

Showing affection in public deserves to be punished with fire jutsu!

On the other side, next to Minato and his wife, Kakashi Hatake, still a kid with his arrogant white hair, glanced at Kushina Uzumaki with his dead fish eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Although he is quite withdrawn now, he is still occasionally influenced by his teacher Kushina, who has an exceptional talent for social interaction.

"Seriously, was it really appropriate for Minato's wife to do that in front of so many people? I have a feeling Minato-sensei is really being incredibly rude!"

Noticing the gazes directed at them, Kakashi, feeling the same way, quickly pulled his mask up even higher, lowered his head, and pretended not to recognize the two people.

In the time that followed, Yun Ting not only met the aforementioned people, but also saw someone who had grown up in the future but was still an acquaintance of the little devil.

Characters like Kakashi Hatake with his gloomy face, Kurenai Yuhi when she was still a pretty little girl, Asuma Sarutobi who followed Kurenai around and fawned over her, Genma Shiranui with a toothpick in his mouth, and Ebisu who occasionally adjusted his black round sunglasses and subtly observed the mature older women around him.

Of course, the most eye-catching one was Might Guy, who was wearing an incredibly eye-catching green bodysuit, sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut, and had thick eyebrows, and was incredibly passionate at the moment.

Upon noticing Yun Ting looking over, he became even more excited, raising another green bodysuit with both hands and waving it loudly towards the former, saying, "Fourth Hokage, this is a battle suit I specially prepared for you, representing youth and passion. Wearing it, you will be the epitome of invincible youth! Burn, Hokage-sama's youth!"

Thank you so much.

Yun Ting, his face darkening, quickly looked away.

He would never wear such a shameful and extremely ugly green bodysuit, even if you beat him to death.

......

After the Hokage succession ceremony ended, Konoha Village returned to its previous state.

Sitting in the Hokage's office, which used to belong to the Third Hokage but now belonged to him, Yun Ting dismissed his assistant and the Anbu ninja guarding him. He sat lazily in his chair, gazing out the window at the Konoha Village street scene, lost in thought.

After the initial excitement, reality returned to my mind.

Although he didn't know what made him wake up as the Fourth Hokage, he had no choice but to accept it. Now, just like when he faced the Third Hokage, he could only grit his teeth and continue in this position.

However, the position of Fourth Hokage is not easy to hold right now.

Just like when Minato Namikaze first became Hokage, the power he currently wields is smaller than ever before.

Although he is nominally the leader of Konoha, he still needs the Third Hokage's approval on many matters.

Most importantly, the Anbu, which was originally under the direct command of the Hokage, is still under the jurisdiction of the Third Hokage.

Even if he wanted to take over, the latter would refuse under the pretext of "you are still young and have little governing experience, so learn more from me."

In addition, there's the ambitious Danzo Shimura, who operates outside the Dark Side and controls Root, and the two advisors, Homura Mitokado, who, despite his age, still cherishes power, and Koharu Utatane.

As a newly appointed Hokage with a shallow foundation, he was greatly constrained.

If these issues can be resolved with time, then the real crisis for him comes from the outside world.

How did Minato Namikaze become the shortest-lived Hokage in history?

It was a year later that the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage occurred.

Currently, it is Yunting himself who has replaced Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage.

This means that if the Nine-Tails reappears, he will be the first to risk his life.

So, how many Tailed Beast Balls can I withstand from the Nine-Tails?

Will he replace Minato and become the short-lived Fourth Hokage?

Thinking of this, Yun Ting couldn't help but feel a chill.

Fortunately, there is still a year left.

To resolve this life-or-death crisis, the most crucial factor for him is his personal strength.

As for the current strength of this body, Yun Ting, who had ample time to sort through his memories, quickly learned everything.

Chapter 3 Hokage Reputation

Senju Unting, born into the Senju clan, is 21 years old. Before becoming the Fourth Hokage, he was a Jonin and mastered the five chakra nature transformations: water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War, and because the Third Hokage had to resign due to the outcome of the war, he was recommended as one of the candidates for Hokage, and was officially nominated as the Fourth Hokage in the subsequent high-level discussions.

Inside the Hokage's office, fragments of memories from the past twenty-one years of Senju Yunting flashed through Yunting's mind.

After a long while, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes flashed with a coldness and sharpness never seen in peacetime.

This also means that he has finally digested and mastered this body.

From this moment on, he was the true Thousand-Handed Cloud Court, and outsiders could no longer detect anything amiss.

"I never expected that such an unexpected person as me would appear in Naruto."

Yun Ting, or rather, Thousand-Handed Yun Ting, muttered to himself.

However, since time travel can actually happen, it's not surprising that the original story might be altered.

Yun Ting shook his head, quickly refocusing his attention on the most important thing right now: his strength.

As the only male remaining member of the Senju clan, Senju Kumo-tei, who inherited the clan's powerful physical energy and abundant chakra, is among the strongest of the elite Jonin.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to succeed as Hokage.

After all, to become the village's leader, one must first have the strength to command respect from the villagers.

Of course, the real key to making him surpass Minato Namikaze, who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and become the Fourth Hokage probably lies in the surname "Senju".

Whether it's the legacy of the First and Second Hokage or the prestige and influence of Tsunade, one of the current Legendary Sannin, he, the only male member of the Senju clan, possesses immense political assets.

While Minato Namikaze had a more outstanding record, he was ultimately of commoner origin and was naturally far inferior to Akatsuki Senju.

Even though the former became Jiraiya's apprentice, many of Konoha's higher-ups did not want the Hokage position to be passed down forever within the Hokage master-apprentice lineage.

This led to various power struggles among the higher-ups. Ultimately, through compromise among all parties, he, a member of the Senju clan, narrowly defeated Minato Namikaze and became the Fourth Hokage.

This is also the result that Yun Ting deduced by integrating the original body's memories and combining them with the original work from his previous life.

However, although Senju Kumotada was proficient in five chakra nature transformations and had mastered numerous ninjutsu, coupled with the powerful physical support of the Senju clan, making him virtually unmatched even among Jonin, his strength was no less than that of Kakashi Hatake before he mastered Kamui more than a decade later.

Even so, he was far from being a match for the Nine-Tails.

Even with prior precautions, it would be difficult to guarantee that the masked man who wields the power of spacetime, namely Obito Uchiha, would not succeed in attacking him.

Therefore, the key to everything is still strength.

We need even greater strength.

Don't time travelers always have cheat codes or special abilities?

Yun Ting looked around and, seeing no one was there, whispered:

"Goldfinger?"
