Chapter 55

Leaf didn't expect that,

Ghost Lantern would bring her such a big gift.

He packed the most important character in the Corpse Ghost Seal and brought it back.

Leaf's whole body was trembling. Although she hadn't seen this death god with her own eyes, she had seen its portrait on the forbidden scroll.

Hatred drove her to pick up her dagger,

Almost without stopping, she was about to stab the death god's neck,

Even though she knew that her brother had summoned it and voluntarily made a deal with it,

At this time, she didn't have much reason to speak of.

However, Ghost Lantern stopped her in time. "Killing a god will bring you trouble. You will be killed or expelled by this world, just like last time, and …"

He neatly stuck his arm into the Grim Reaper's stomach. After rummaging around inside, he pulled out a blue spherical object.

The little thing looked pitifully small in Ghost Lantern's wide palm,

It gathered and dispersed,

As if it could dissipate in the next second.

He took the dagger from her hand,

He stuffed the blue ball into the dagger,

Then he handed the dagger to her,

"You have the same bloodline and the same source of power,

This may allow him to wake up again,

Just like when you woke up in the goldfish field. "

The little dagger was transformed by her companion Leaf,

It complemented her,

It was endlessly growing,

Since her soul could reside in the Little Goldfish Grass, then theoretically speaking, her brother's soul could also find a host.

The ancient gods of the East also had a saying of borrowing the spirit lotus to return to life. It could be seen that this method of borrowing something to return to life also had a certain basis.

After saying that, Ghost Lantern picked up his weapon, dragged the death god, and turned to walk towards the door.

His back was so resolute that Leaf couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. "… Dad, where are you going?"

No one answered her question. Ghost Lantern just turned his face, showed a relatively relaxed expression, and then walked away without stopping.

Leaf subconsciously followed a few steps forward, but in the end, she stopped.

He had to leave sooner or later, just like she had to come back no matter what.

"Hokage-sama, the body of the Sandaime …"

She didn't know how much time had passed until the tears on her face dried up. Then, a member of the Dark Unit kneeled at her feet and whispered to her about the matter.

Leaf put away the unnecessary emotions between her eyebrows, put the dagger in her sleeve, and took out the majesty of the new leader of Konoha, "Postpone the succession ceremony. Everything is to focus on the funeral of the Sandaime. All the ninjas who died this time should also be buried. Let the logistics department come up with a set of specific plans for the comfort of their families."

"Yes!"

.

On the day of the Sandaime's funeral, Leaf met the only remaining member of the Senju Clan for the first time. She seemed to have doubts about the death of the Sandaime, and her suspicions were aimed at Leaf, who had recently stirred up a storm in the Shinobi World.

But before her fist could hit anything, Jiraiya, who was secretly observing, appeared and dragged her back a few steps.

"Tsunade!

Leaf was the successor personally chosen by the teacher!

You must believe in me! "

"I know!

But, but … there was obviously another way!

But why did he choose this path?!

Why must he sacrifice sensei's life?!

If it was Minato who was sitting here today!

He would never … "

Tsunade's words couldn't continue, because the moment she mentioned Minato, the surrounding atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point, and it was so heavy and sticky that it was almost suffocating.

Leaf knew that under normal circumstances, Tsunade would never say such a thing. She was a person who had experienced the hardships of war, and she knew better than anyone how deep the torture of the death of a loved one can be. But perhaps because the one who died today was the last elder she could rely on, or perhaps because the one who killed her sensei was her most important partner, or perhaps because she remembered the relatives and friends who had passed away in the past, all of these mixed feelings made her completely lose her mind.

But this was not the reason why she mentioned Wave Wind Minato at this time.

"So, if Brother is still alive, he can replace the Sandaime in the Chunin Tournament, and then die in the hands of your companions, right?"

"Leaf!

You know Tsunade didn't mean that! "

Jiraiya frowned, and he always felt that Wavy Leaf's mood was a little wrong recently. "I apologize to you on her behalf."

"…"

Leaf didn't speak. She didn't care much about the outsiders' words, but she felt deeply sad. Her brother used to care so much, but it seems that he didn't put him first in her heart. After all, human feelings and time are limited.

She clenched the dagger in her sleeve, and it seemed that she could still get a little warmth from it, and that was enough.

"If there's nothing else, please leave here, I have to work."

She lowered her head, picked up the documents on the side, and quickly looked through them.

"Can we go and see Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya knew that she was in a very bad mood, but he still asked carefully.

Leaf raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically.

Look, even if he was the protagonist who killed their sensei, they still didn't blame Orochimaru too much. Instead, they were full of resentment toward her.

After all, that was their companion.

"Cat."

The silver-haired Anbu suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee and waiting for orders.

"Take them."

"Yes."

.

The death of the Sandaime and Danzo made the neighboring ninja villages a little restless. Although Wavy Leaf's reputation is out there, after all, where is the age of those ninja leaders who have eaten more salt than she has eaten rice, and for a while, they were ready to move.

Konoha's disadvantage was slowly revealed at this moment.

Although the village is strong, the major clans are independent. They usually listen to the Hokage's orders, but in private, they are independent and prioritize their own interests.

Moreover, among the two most powerful clans at present, the Hyuga Clan has established a system of Main Clan and Branch Clan. They only care about internal strife all day long, and even in this situation, they have raised a lot of scum who take pleasure in torturing their clansmen. It's not worth mentioning.

The Uchiha Clan is united, but they are united to cause internal strife and overthrow the Hokage. Not to mention putting them in an important position, Leaf even has to be wary of this group of guys, not to mention that they might try to sabotage her.

As for the rest of the small families and self-employed people, although they were loyal and upright, the number of people with outstanding strength could be counted on two hands. It would take a lot of effort to nurture them, at least for now, she didn't have much time to nurture them.

Fortunately, she still has the Death Gods.

As Leaf expected, in the three months after the succession, the border of the Land of Fire has not been peaceful. Led by the other four countries, the small countries bordering the Land of Fire have had small-scale conflicts and battles. It's not painful, but it's like a fishbone stuck in the throat, making people feel disgusted.

Leaf sent out the vanguard of those who have pledged allegiance to her roots, which can be regarded as a ideological transformation. The active ones continue to work for Konoha, and the ones with ulterior motives are executed on the spot. In addition, the ones who contributed the most are the two clans of Konoha.

War often reveals a lot of things, and this friction just happened to be her testing stone.

"Hokage, the turmoil in the Land of Fire has been completely quelled, and the Land of Earth has suffered a great loss. In the future, they won't dare to have any ideas about the Land of Fire."

Itsuki Itsuki reported the results of this expedition, and between his delicate eyebrows there was a bit of killing intent that hasn't faded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Leaf stamped the last document, stopped working, and rubbed her head.

She hadn't slept for two days, and although it wasn't to the extent of sudden death, her mind couldn't help but feel a bit muddled.

The Land of Fire was just trying to survive in the cracks between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. This time's turmoil was also instigated by the Land of Earth, and the Land of Earth's great ambition wasn't small. He was the first to act, and also the last to stop. Once he stopped, it meant that Leaf had obtained the final victory in this small scale war. This also meant that she had completely stabilized her position among the Five Kages, and was still in the leading position.

"You can rest well for a while now. Go back and rest, I'll return to This Pill tonight, and we'll have a celebratory feast."

"Hokage …"

Itsuki Itsuki looked a bit conflicted. He really wanted to quickly return to This Pill to reunite with his younger brothers, but this kind of hokage made him feel very uneasy.

In the end, his conscience forced him to not leave his hokage behind, and could only quietly walk behind her. He reached out and pressed her temple, gently massaging it.

"Ai …" Leaf sighed.

"This subordinate is presumptuous." Itsuki Itsuki's hand instantly stiffened.

"No, I haven't relaxed like this in a long time, it's very comfortable."

"Itsuki Itsuki!"

"Ni-chan!

We're coming! "

"Sister!

It's time for lunch!

Today's rice balls are personally held by me! "

The Daggers calculated the time and ran into the office, followed by little Naruto, who was delivering lunch to his sister.

Itsuki Itsuki made a shushing gesture, and the little guys all quieted down. One by one, they lined up to hug their brother, then exchanged glances, smiled, and stood around Leaf, rubbing her shoulders, and massaging her legs. They even left a good spot for Naruto, so that he could personally feed his sister.

When Uchiha Fugaku came in, he saw this extravagant scene.

"… Cough!"

"Ah, it's the leader of the Uchiha family. Hou, go get a chair for the leader."

"Yes!"

The little boy smiled and brought a chair. Fugaku didn't intend to sit, but when he didn't sit, more than ten pairs of eyes on the opposite side kept staring at him, as if he was doing something evil, so finally he pursed his lips and sat down.

But the young Hokage opposite him didn't seem to want to change his posture to talk to him. He was still slumped in the chair, enjoying the service of many people. Fugaku didn't understand what she meant, a show of strength?

For a while, no one in the room spoke, except for Naruto, who was still saying, "Sister, open your mouth, ah –" "Sister, this is also delicious, ah –"
