Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 268 Everyone’s Expectation

Sakumo laughed dryly and thought, forget it, Master Soushige. Even he knew that most of the government affairs back then were handled by the Second Generation.

"You are such a joker." Sakumo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a wry smile. "Although Lord Hashirama is very powerful and famous, but..." He looked embarrassed, as if he had something difficult to say.

Finally, he said, "But he is not the most suitable candidate."

As he said that, he looked up at Xingye Feng and said, "You are the one."

After he finished speaking, Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows, forced a smile, and looked at Shumao with a smile: "I am a retired old man, I don't have the time to care about those mundane things."

Shuo Mao immediately continued: "You can let others do all the work, or follow the official system."

After saying that, he sighed with a bitter face and said: "The ninja world is so big, you also know that we have no choice......"

At the wedding banquet that followed, Shuomao maintained a steady output frequency and continued to persuade.

His mouth never stopped talking, and it was like the chirping of cicadas in midsummer in Xingye Feng's ears, making people feel very annoyed.

In the end, Hoshino Kaede retreated, glared at Sakumo with gritted teeth, as if he was facing a mortal enemy, and stopped him from chattering.

"Okay, let's stop here. You're a very competent lobbyist, but you just don't want me to have an easy life, right?"

Sakumo laughed it off with an innocent and confused expression, as if he was the victim.

Xingye Feng sighed helplessly, held his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it, don't nag about it for now."

Seeing that Sakumo wanted to say more, Hoshino Kaede decisively ran away, his feet were so fast that he disappeared from Sakumo's sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, a smile flashed in Shuomao's eyes, and he continued to participate in the wedding banquet contentedly.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their homes. The next morning, Shuo Mao dealt with government affairs as usual. The whole morning was in a quiet environment without anyone disturbing him.

It was not until lunchtime that his stomach growled and woke up Sakumo, who was working hard.

"Well, it's time to eat." After looking at the clock, Sakumo prepared to eat.

Then he stood up and walked to the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw his son hesitating at the door.

"Kakashi, is there something wrong?" Sakumo asked in surprise. Kakashi never comes here on weekdays.

Seeing his father's expression, Kakashi opened his dead eyes and said helplessly: "Father, school starts in the afternoon, you won't forget it, right?"

Hearing this, Sakumo suddenly realized and said apologetically: "Sorry, Kakashi, I almost forgot that today is your enrollment day."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Kakashi replied calmly, which made Sakumo look even more guilty. He held his hand and apologized repeatedly on the way home.

At this time, Sakumo will be a father, not a Hokage.

On the way, Kakashi suddenly asked: "Father, after the unification of the ninja world, will you give up your throne and go home?"

Sakumo was stunned by the question, and after coming back to his senses, he said, "I think so."

After saying that, she looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "How do you know this? I don't think I've told you about it."

Kakashi said as a matter of course: "Isn't it obvious? Father's reputation is not enough to restrain the entire ninja world. Therefore, we need someone who can suppress the ninja world."

"And this person must have extremely high prestige in the ninja world and suppress all discordant voices."

Hearing Kakashi's clear and detailed explanation of the cause of the matter, Sakumo couldn't help but exclaim: "Siguoyi, your observation and understanding are very accurate."

He smiled and patted Kakashi's head, saying, "Then who do you think can meet the conditions you mentioned?"

Kakashi didn't think for a second, and blurted out without hesitation: "Master Hoshino Kaede!"

Sakumo asked more deeply, "Why the third generation? Can't others do it?"

"No." Kakashi shook his head and replied crisply: "Konoha is what it is today because of Master Hoshino."

"Everyone recognizes him from the bottom of their hearts, not just pretending."

"More importantly, only Lord Xingye Feng can gain recognition from people in other countries."

Sakumo agreed deeply, which is why he and other senior executives all agreed that Hoshino Kaede was the most suitable candidate.

Because only he can make the people of other countries who are resistant feel a sense of identity.

Many times, Sakumo was very grateful that such a charming and capable person could appear in Konoha.

After thinking about it, Sakumo became more certain that he must let Hoshino Kaede take the role, for everyone's sake.

Then he said to Kakashi, "Do your father a favor and spread a rumor at school."

Kakashi blinked. As smart as he was, he quickly understood what Sakumo wanted to do. However, he was happy to do it and nodded immediately.

Seeing this, Sakumo smiled and picked him up. The two talked and laughed along the way, and the relationship between father and son gradually warmed up.

The sun was scorching, and Xingye Feng was taking a nap with his hands behind his head, leaning lazily and casually against a hundred-meter-tall tree.

But Sakumo's words echoed in his mind, making him unable to sleep and uneasy.

The cool breeze caressed his cheeks, as if telling him silent love.

whoosh-

At this moment, a figure appeared on the tree trunk and awakened the melancholy person with his hearty laughter.

"Haha, Xiao Feng, what are you doing here, looking at the scenery?"

"Teacher." Feng Xingye sat up and dangled his legs outside the tree trunk.

“It’s just a little tangled.”

Upon hearing this, Hashirama sat down next to him and said with a smile, "Let me guess, is it because of what Sakumo said to you?"

Xingye Feng tilted his head: "Did the news spread so quickly?"

Hashirama looked ahead and patted his shoulder. "It spread from the school and spread throughout the village in a few hours."

"Even I know a little bit about it, so I came to find you."

Hearing this, Xingye Feng couldn't help but complain: "Sakumo, this guy, actually made a little move. Is he so afraid that I won't agree?"

Hashirama shook his head, smiled dumbly, and tapped Hoshino Kaede's forehead: "He is not afraid for himself, but he is worried that the newly unified ninja world will be shattered."

"Not only him, but the people in the village are also worried that you will not agree, and they think the peace will be broken."

"Are you trying to comfort me?" Xingye Feng complained. "Why do I feel like this is a different kind of persuasion?"

Hashirama chuckled, then placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Xiao Feng, think positively. In fact, the freedom you want is not in conflict with the current situation."

"You have the power to look down on the ninja world, and you also have a reputation that is unmatched."

"The ninja world is so big that you can go anywhere. No one can restrict you."

"You're overcomplicating things. I remember you once said that the degree of freedom depends on how things change at the moment."

"Like now, you are the one that everyone wants, and all people want is peace of mind."

After hearing these words, Xingye Feng felt as if the knot in his heart was cut off, and he suddenly felt enlightened. His previously blocked thoughts were now unobstructed.

What the ninja world needs is just his name. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't take care of things.
