Mirage City, Ghost City.
In the past eight years, under the construction of Sasuke and Naruto, the city had become more prosperous than ever.
The new City Lord who would replace them would be taking office today.
Today was also the day they would return home in glory.
Ghost City, City Lord's Mansion.
Uzumaki Naruto tidied up all his personal belongings and kept them in a scroll. He stroked the spotless scroll and reminisced.
He hung the key to the City Lord's Mansion on a stone pillar, took one last look at it, put on his bamboo hat, and walked out of the door.
It was raining heavily, but the streets were filled with people who came to see him off.
"Folks, this is …"
Naruto was stunned as soon as he stepped out.
Then, there was an uproar of a farewell ceremony!
"Naruto, have a safe journey!"
"Naruto, you have to eat well!"
"Naruto, get married soon and have a chubby son!"
"Naruto, what do you think of my daughter?"
"Naruto, come back often!"
"Ah …" Naruto pulled his bamboo hat down to cover his rippling eyes. A warm smile appeared on his face, "Thank you all, really."
When he took office at the age of fourteen, he was doubted because of his young age. In eight years as the City Lord, Naruto used his unique charisma to conquer everyone, turning all doubts into cheers!
At the age of twenty-two, Naruto returned home in glory. What awaited him ahead was an even more arduous and glorious mission!
Mirage City, Sasuke Uchiha's career was not as smooth as Naruto's. He took a detour and almost lost his way.
Fortunately, he stopped at the brink of the cliff.
After taking office for the second time, he gave up being arbitrary and chose to listen to the opinions of others. He made decisions for the public and was not stingy with his loyalty. Finally, he took off the title of the Uchiha King of Misrule and became a wise young lord who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Naruto.
In the cemetery behind the mountain, in front of the tombstone of Yamashita Grandma, who had died because of the persecution of the New Deal, a 22-year-old young man, Sasuke, bent over and offered incense. After getting up, he put his palms together and offered his condolences.
Every year on Yamashita's death anniversary, Sasuke would come here to mourn and reflect on his mistakes.
This year's death anniversary has passed, but before leaving, Sasuke decided to come again.
After the condolence, Sasuke said to Moonlight Saint Market behind him, "Moonlight, assist the new Lord and give this city a better future."
But Yuuki Sacred Market said, "I want to follow Mr. Sasuke."
Sasuke stepped forward, patted his shoulder solemnly, and walked into the rain.
Seimei looked at Sasuke's back: "…"
Sasuke paused and said to his back, "Let's go."
"Yes!" Moonshine Saint's eyes lit up and quickly followed Sasuke.
Returning home in glory, Naruto and Sasuke didn't choose to ride in a sedan. Instead, they used their own feet to tread on the road in the future …
Three days later, Emperor Yu City held a grand welcoming ceremony for the two of them.
Hearing that their son was back, Minato and his wife, who spent the winter in the Mountain Villa, also came back.
Hearing that it was related to the election of Hokage, Intercolumnar Space couple, who were relaxing in the resort, also came back.
Hearing that Uchiha was also going to participate in the Hokage election, Madara and his wife, Izuna, also came back.
In the Golden Imperial Hall, people gathered together.
Naruto and Sasuke were naturally the focus of attention. Along with them were the former Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who assisted Naruto, and the former Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, Takeda Nobuo, who assisted Sasuke.
On the south throne, Feather looked at the list of the two's achievements in the past eight years.
After reading it, Feather handed it to Saori and asked her to show it to everyone.
Nodding to Naruto and Sasuke, he said with a pleasant expression, "In the past eight years, you didn't let me down. The population of the two cities has doubled, and the happiness of the people has significantly improved. With this as the premise, you have provided a large number of new blood to the Ninja Country.
Naruto said humbly, "It's all thanks to Mr. Naruto and the urging of all the lords. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this by myself!"
Everyone looked at Naruto with approval. Sitting behind Naruto, Hikari looked gratified.
By the way, Hikari Hikari wasn't the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in the original work. Hikari Hikari was the young Daimyo who took office later.
On the day of the destruction of Nagato, Hikari Hikari and his general, Oda Nobuhiro, were resurrected by Feather using the Otsutsu-Ryū.
Hikari Hikari assisted Naruto, and Nobuhiro, the general who forced Kakashi and other Konoha clansmen into a desperate situation during the migration of Konoha, became the leader of the Anbu patrol team and has been responsible for border defense matters.
Feather nodded, sat up slightly, and said loudly, "The Fifth Hokage, the First Southern Prince, Hatake Kakashi is about to step down. Konoha's Sixth Hokage, the Second Southern Prince, for this reason, I will consult the opinions of Hikari and Takeda!"
Masayoshi Hikari got up, saluted Binbin and said. "Naruto's way of dealing with people is obvious to everyone. After taking office, he has never taken any detours. He's steady and steady."
"Whether it's from the perspective of the overall situation or my personal feelings, I hope he can become the Hokage and continue this steadiness …"
Hikari Hikari looked at Sasuke on the side and said objectively and without malice, "Of course, Sasuke is also an excellent child. Over the years, I have been paying attention to his growth, but if you want to choose the best of the best, Naruto is more suitable. This is my opinion."
Hikari Hikari didn't say it directly … But everyone present knew that the 'foundation' he mentioned was to emphasize Sasuke's New Deal incident. That was indeed a stain that Sasuke couldn't wash away.
Feather propped up his chin with one arm and looked behind Sasuke, "Takeda Kung, what's your opinion?"
Takeda Nobuo was pushed aside by Sasuke and suffered a lot of grievances … He even made it clear that Sasuke was more suitable to be a general than a leader.
But over the years, Takeda has witnessed Sasuke's transformation and changed his view of the past.
After he got up and greeted everyone, he said objectively, "A mistake is a mistake. I don't want to protect Sasuke, but if you only care about the past, you will miss the possibility of the future."
"Moreover, never taking a detour is not necessarily a good thing. For those who know their mistakes and can change, the experience of making mistakes will become a preventive measure, driving them to fulfill their own path more firmly. I'm very sure that Sasuke … is such a person. His performance after that is the most powerful proof!"
When he spoke up to here, Takeda raised his eyes to look directly at Quill and said, "Since the ancient times, not a single person that was able to accomplish great things was the embodiment of absolute justice, including … the wise Lord. Emperor of Quill, you're the same as well!"
Saori narrowed her eyes and thought, 'This Takeda is really bold! He dares to say anything … '
Feather didn't mind.
Takeda Nobuo hit the nail on the head, "I think that Naruto is more suitable to be a king in a prosperous time to follow the people's wishes. Sasuke is more suitable to be a king in a chaotic time to stabilize the world … The current situation, whether it is a prosperous or a chaotic time, should be decided by the Emperor of Feather!"
Feather sighed. 'The name of the Land of Lightning, the most prosperous of the five major countries, is really sharp.'
He closed his eyes and pondered. In terms of personal feelings, Feather was more inclined to Naruto, but … he didn't reject the new trend. Most importantly, as a leader, he had to be impartial!
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Feather opened his eyes, and his deep voice reverberated in the hall.
"Since ancient times … when there is a conflict between justice and ideals, the victor will be the king, and the loser will be silent."
"The time is tonight, and the location is the largest island in the outer sea. Uzumaki Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha, put all your shackles to this day, your determination to become Hokage, and your beliefs in life into this battle. There is no need to worry, because I will personally check …"
Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other, and their eyes were filled with melancholy.
But … becoming Hokage was their common goal. Only one battle!
"Understood!!!"
And so, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, these two children of shackles, spoke in unison.
