The Fifth Hokage.
Hatake Maples.
Unlike Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who have already become legends, this is the God of Shinobi, who is still alive and well.
And this year, Maples is only seventeen years old.
Compared to when he was fifteen years old, he's now seventeen years old, and he's beginning to bear the behavior of many girls.
And these behaviors often make Kurenai and Nohara Rin feel uncomfortable, so it leads to more excessive behavior between the two. And because both of them live in the Hokage Building, Kakashi was affected, and he suffered some pain that he shouldn't suffer at his age, and finally decided to move out of the Hokage Building and live alone.
Of course.
It's worth mentioning that Kakashi has a lot of pursuers now.
After all, he's Maples' younger brother, and he's also famous in the ninja world, and as he grows older, Kakashi is gradually becoming more mature.
When he was young, Kakashi didn't put his peers in his eyes, and his arrogant personality made his peers evaluate him as a 'hateful brat', and after inheriting the Belt Soil's Mangekyo, he's no longer as straightforward as before.
If it weren't for Maples on top of his head, he might be more popular.
"Ugh."
Maples looked at the movement below and sighed helplessly. He was obviously in a good mood, so he waved in response.
Fortunately, these girls can still control themselves, and those who aren't ninjas can't jump on top of the Hokage Rock, so it won't cause any chaos.
Maples turned around.
With a gentle lift of his finger, the wooden box on the ground with the 'star' sealed in it fell into his hand, and with a gentle pinch of his finger, the seal on the wooden box was broken.
After opening the wooden box, a meteorite full of holes appeared in it, and with the Tenseigan's perspective, he could clearly see that it was constantly emitting purple fluctuations.
"It's not the power of the Juubi …"
Maples' eyes flashed as he analyzed the power of the star and stretched out his left hand.
He remembered reading something that said that this thing is part of the Juubi, but in his perception, it's something completely different from the Bijuu, and it's not even Chakra.
"Oh."
Maples weighed it in his hand and sensed the effects of the energy it emitted on his body. He roughly figured out what it was. If he wasn't wrong, it should be a meteorite with radiation.
This kind of radiation is fatal for ordinary people, and it can also cause great harm to ninjas, but it can have a certain effect on chakra, making chakra have some special form and power.
This was the so-called 'Peacock Mystic Art'.
"Meaningless things."
Maples shook his head. He wanted to crush it, but after considering that it was a meteorite, he put it back into the wooden box and added an Eight Trigrams Seal on it.
Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the Fire Shadow Rock.
After placing the 'star' in the seal on the fourth floor of the Hokage Building, Maples returned to his office and picked up several documents on the table to read.
In the past two years, five of the small countries near the Land of Fire have been merged into the Land of Fire, and the Land of Bear is the sixth.
Because Maple Night hoped to conduct the transition in the most stable way possible, every time a small country was merged and unified, he would send more than ten times the number of troops to be stationed there.
The effect is also very good.
It's because Maples's behavior is more inclined to annexation than plunder, and the number of troops sent is far more than the number of small ninja villages, directly forcing them to surrender, so the continuous annexation can hardly be called a war, because the actual casualties are very few.
In the past two years, Maples didn't spend all his time leisurely experiencing the life of a Hokage. At the same time, he continued to practice. The seventh gate of the Hachimon Tonkou was opened by him a month ago.
And after opening the seventh gate.
Only the eighth gate in the heart is left.
Compared to the previous seven gates, the difficulty of opening the eighth gate is almost several times greater than the sum of the previous seven gates. On the one hand, the requirements to open it are extremely high, and on the other hand, after opening the eighth gate, it needs to resonate with the previous seven gates to form a complete 'Hachimon Tonkou Array'.
Maples can feel that with the normal speed of practice, it will take about seven to eight years to open the eighth gate … But for him, who has now accelerated time to nine times, if he practices with all his strength, it will be enough for him to open the eighth gate in less than a year.
"The situation in the Village of Rain is basically stable, and the same is true for the Village of Grass, and it won't take long for the Village of Bear."
Maples flipped through the documents on the table.
These are all intelligence documents from the small countries that have been annexed.
According to the current progress, it is estimated that in two years, all the small countries around the Land of Fire will be annexed, and then they can start to move on the four great ninja villages one by one.
"Hokage-sama ~"
"Try my newly invented grapefruit tea."
Just as Maples was flipping through the documents, Rin came in with a cup of tea.
Compared to the Rin of two years ago, the 16-year-old Rin at this time has developed into an exquisite figure. She is wearing a short skirt and short sleeves, her forearms are like white jade, and her appearance is playful and cute.
"Oh, good."
Maple took the tea and snacks that Lin brought over. After taking a sip, he savored the taste.
Rin looked at Maples expectantly.
"The taste is very good."
Maples took two more sips, tasted it, and smiled, looked at Rin and said, "If you open a tea shop, it should be very popular."
Rin showed a sunny smile, tilted her head and looked at Maples, and said, "I will only make tea for you, Maples."
Maples choked.
He has to say that girls who take the initiative are very scary.
Especially after Kakashi resolutely chose to move out, Rin and Kurenai became bolder, and he didn't know what he would see when he returned home every day.
Just as Maples took another sip of tea and was about to say something, a figure in a black cloak appeared in the office, saluted Maples and quickly spoke.
"Hokage-sama."
"The emissaries of the Cloud Village have arrived."
Maples looked at the Shadow Guard and nodded, "I know … Well, Rin, you go and receive them."
"Okay."
Rin showed a serious look, nodded, and turned away.
After being defeated by Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui many times, the Cloud Village chose to negotiate with Konoha and signed a contract about two months ago. The signing of this contract also means the end of the Third Shinobi World War.
Although the other party is a defeated village, after all, they are emissaries for peace, and they still need to be taken seriously.
