Chapter 154 Fifth Hokage (for subscription)
The sun is rising and the weather is getting a bit chilly as it turns into winter.
But this temperature is nothing to Ryosuke, he can still exercise his physique in the practice field with his upper body bare, without feeling any cold.
Sweat was swaying wantonly, but the muscles were not sore and tired at all.
In fact, Ryosuke's current training is basically useless.
After the strength has grown to a certain level, it is too difficult to improve the body and spirit again. Just doing some ordinary high-intensity exercises can hardly improve the effect, even if it is compensated by the number of times.
In the past, a thousand or even thousands of squats, or other exercises, as long as you persisted for enough time, could bring a lot of changes to Ryosuke.
But after the third transformation, even if he did 10,000 squats, the improvement effect can be said to be negligible, and there is no such improvement that can be really felt before.
Although the upper limit is indeed deeper because the limiter is turned on, the difficulty of upgrading has been increased.
That's why Ryosuke hesitated to attack Black Zetsu in advance.
He can indeed avoid a lot of dangers if he starts in advance.
But without a suitable opponent, he doesn't know whether he can continue to improve.
Ryosuke is about to reach the second half of the road pioneered by the predecessors, but the direction behind it is dark and deep, and the end is like a broken sky road, with no place to set foot.
Although a person can move forward, he will inevitably have to take a lot of detours. If there are examples on this road as road signs to give him certain hints, perhaps this road will be smoother.
Thinking of this, Ryosuke stopped exercising.
The warm winter sun shone on his body, and the sweat glides on his muscular body like crystal dewdrops under the sun.
Although his whole body was already drenched with sweat, Ryosuke didn't feel any fatigue.
Whether it is mentally or physically, it is as if no exercise has been done, there is no improvement, let alone any feeling.
"It's been confirmed for so long, it's time to give up."
Draping the long towel on the bench next to him over his body, Ryosuke walked towards the house while wiping his wet hair and body.
It has been nearly a year since the third transformation. Since there is no way to improve himself through simple exercise, he will not go all the way to darkness.
To improve his strength, Ryosuke can also start from other directions.
From today onwards, he will lower the priority of this kind of physical training, and put more energy on researching spells.
After returning home from morning training, Hinata and the others have also finished their morning training.
The family gathered at the dinner table again, and the breakfast was settled quietly and quickly.
But today is different. After breakfast today, Hinata and Hanabi did not go to school, and Hyuga Hiashi did not carry out the work that should be done as the head of the clan.
After taking some time to tidy up their appearance, the family went out together after a long absence, went to the streets of the clan to meet the clan members, and then left the clan together and walked into the streets of Konoha.
Today is a rather special day. Most public institutions in Konoha Village are temporarily closed, just like when Sarutobi Hiruzen passed away.
It's just that the funeral was a sad event for Konoha, but today it is a happy event.
Not only the daimyo of the Fire Nation brought noble officials from the country to the scene, but also other countries in the alliance sent envoys to watch the ceremony.
Such a grand occasion is entirely because Konoha Village will usher in the fifth Hokage since the establishment of the village—Jiraiya.
In the sound of laughter and frolic and discussion.
With the word "happy" written all over his face, Jiraiya, who had a relationship with Ryosuke once, was surrounded by two Hokage consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, and stiffly walked through the lively flow of people and came in front of everyone.
It's been a while since we last met.
It's been almost a month since Ryosuke suggested that he could work on Naruto's parents to improve their relationship.
Standing on the high platform, Jiraiya solemnly put on the Hokage hat and cape in full view with the help of two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
And, in the hands of the fire country daimyo, he took over the letter of appointment.
"So, next I will be the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, but..."
With a dry cough, Jiraiya, who had just received the letter of appointment, strode up to the crowd, and was about to give a passionate speech, inspiring the aspiring young people in the village to work hard, and strive to replace him in this Hokage position and go to jail as soon as possible.
"it is good!"
"Then the succession ceremony ends here."
But just after he spoke half a sentence, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura next to him had already applauded tacitly and shouted to interrupt his speech.
By the way, they also announced the end of the succession ceremony.
Is this... so sloppy?
Whether it is the other people below, or Jiraiya standing on the high platform, there is an urge to complain in his heart.
That is to say, those daimyo and noble officials covered their faces with fans and laughed at this funny scene as if they had known about this arrangement for a long time.
But since it was all like this, Jiraiya did not continue to force the speech.
It was a very monotonous end to the succession ceremony, which lasted less than half a day and was assembled for most of the time.
Hinata and Hanabi next to Ryosuke were a little dizzy until Hyuga's people flowed back to the clan.
After hesitating for a while, Hinata looked at the flow of people beside him, leaned into Ryosuke's ear and asked in a low voice, "Since... Fifth Hokage should have been vacated, right? By those two Hokage consultants."
Obviously, she didn't understand what was going on in that wave of operations just now.
Shouldn't the succession ceremony of Hokage be a very serious and solemn part? Why did that happen just now.
"how is this possible."
Ryosuke turned his head with a smile, "Maybe it's because you haven't understood what Senior Jiraiya is like."
"When you understand what kind of person our Fifth Hokage is, you will understand why the two Hokage consultants interrupted him just now, and why there is such an arrangement."
"If he is really allowed to carry on with this speech, he might turn the scene into... a signing event in a kiss heaven?"
As he spoke, he looked at Hyuga Hiashi next to him.
And Hyuga Hiashi was stunned for a moment by his words, and after a few seconds of serious thinking, he nodded seriously, "It's possible."
He seemed to recall some memories, his old face flushed.
But soon, Hyuga Hiashi realized something again, and looked at Ryosuke with very subtle eyes, "You boy...you should move out before you reach adulthood, and come back to live when you are old enough."
His tone was dangerous.
Ryosuke:?
Facing his father's eyes, he felt that his clear personality seemed to be stained with some color unconsciously.
Beside, Hinata and Hanabi are puzzled.
"Generally speaking, shouldn't a family wait for the child to grow up before letting the child move out?"
Before Ryosuke opened his mouth to refute something, Hinata asked strangely: "Why did my father ask Ryosuke to move out now, but move back when he becomes an adult, and we don't seem to have this habit, we always live in In the old house."
With an innocent tone, it's clear that Hinata's personality is precocious, though under the influence of Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura.
But she didn't know it too thoroughly. She didn't know about books that were not suitable for children, such as making love to heaven.
Seeing her clear and puzzled eyes, Ryosuke coughed, "Let's talk about Jiraiya-senpai, father?"
"...Yeah, Ryosuke, what do you think of Jiraiya being Hokage?"
Hyuga Hiashi also felt that this topic was not easy to delve into, so if it spread, he quickly opened it according to his meaning.
"I think...he should just be a transition, probably extremely short-lived."
Ryosuke said casually, "Perhaps during his reign, Konoha will not undergo major changes, and the status quo will always be maintained, and no new policies or systems will emerge."
"No... no, he should at least clean up the mess Shimura Danzō left behind."
"But apart from fundamental matters, Jiraiya should focus on cultivating the next generation of Hokage, and when a suitable candidate appears, he will quickly abdicate and make way for the virtuous. After all, his heart is still free."
The Fifth Hokage was finally held by Jiraiya.
But there is really no other suitable candidate in the village. Under the persecution of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, even if he doesn't want to be restrained, he can only sit in this seat helplessly.
What's more, Jiraiya himself is very fond of Konoha.
But Ryosuke believes that he won't sit in this seat for too long...
The succession of Fifth Hokage was just a small episode, at least for Ryosuke, it was an extremely flat thing that didn't cause much emotion.
However, this incident is considered to be the last of the major events that happened to Konoha this year.
This year, a lot has happened in Konoha Village.
For example, the child of Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is actually Uzumaki Naruto, or the death of Third Hokage, etc...
Although the occurrence of these things has nothing to do with Ryosuke on the surface, but secretly, they are more or less caused by his influence.
At least Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō might have lived a few more years without Ryosuke...
"Are you nervous?"
This year's clan meeting is completely different from last year's, it should appear more lively and energetic.
Ryosuke and Hinata stood in a corner of the crowd in front of the mourning hall where the family's heroic soul was honored, waiting for the start of this year's clan meeting.
Hyuga Hiashi intends to let Hinata preside over the opening ceremony of the Clan Association this year, and then gradually hand over the rights to her year by year in a step-by-step manner.
Glancing at the flow of people around, Hinata had a cold face, but couldn't help reaching out and holding Ryosuke's palm, "One thing, I always feel that something you and your father are worried about will appear, and it's my first time hosting."
Whispering, she clenched her fists tightly and slid into Ryosuke's wide palm like a ball of white cotton.
Seeing Hinata's nervous but serious attitude, Ryosuke squeezed her hand funny and gave her a little strength, "Something will definitely happen, but I don't know if it will be this year or next year."
"Anyway, no matter what happens, my father and I will always stand behind you, and we have made arrangements together, haven't we?"
During this year, many things have happened to Hyuga, and many things have changed.
The millennium-old system has undergone changes within a year, and the time is still somewhat short.
A lot of things that should take time to settle and adjust, have some hidden dangers because of this, or in other words, digging out some things that were once buried deeply, so that they have a chance to see the light again.
The current interior of Hyuga can be said to be a miasma, with all kinds of voices.
Having lost the function of controlling the life of the branch house, the Caged Bird, which only retains the ability to destroy the white eyes after death, is no longer a sharp sword hanging above the head of the branch house.
The Hyuga branch house, which is not bound and no longer lives purely for the main house, has begun to have "vitality".
Many people began to work hard to become stronger. In the past, they didn't work hard because their lives belonged to the master. Even if they worked hard, it was not their own.
But now, if they earnestly practice and improve their strength, they may have the opportunity to come into contact with the secret arts of the clan that they never dared to achieve. This kind of thing is what they are extremely eager for.
From this point alone, Hyuga's transformation is a good thing.
But from other perspectives, it is not necessarily a good thing.
Because these "free" branch houses are like tigers who escaped from the zoo. They wantonly show their fangs and do things they never dared to do.
Even... Some people are no longer willing to obey the orders of the patriarch, and they are no longer secretly obedient and obedient, but really against them.
Not everyone in the branch houses who have regained their freedom will look forward.
There are quite a few people who are always staring at what happened in the past, and they can't forget the pain and depression of being controlled by the master.
like...
"I object to hosting by Hinata!"
Just before the crowd, Hinata, who was about to pay homage to the heroic soul of his ancestors, took the incense stick from Hyuga Hiashi under the gaze of many clansmen. Before he had time to bend down, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"I also object to Hyūga Hinata's host, how can she have the qualifications for a hairy child!"
"That's right! She didn't even use the most basic Eight Trigrams Palms of our Hyuga, what qualifications does she have to be the next patriarch!"
"The patriarch of our Hyuga must be a genius who is proud of everything and has excellent talent to be able to convince the crowd."
Following the lead of a voice, one after another voices of words sounded from the crowd.
"Presumptuous! What do you think this is?"
Before the patriarch Hyuga Hiashi could speak, the irritable Kazuo clan elder in the family had already yelled at him.
"An old man from the Yixiong family, we are just telling the truth."
Among the crowd, several familiar figures of Ryosuke emerged.
They are not young, and their strength is not bad. There is one Jōnin, and the others are all Chūnin, just the few guys he saw in the dark place of the clan.
"At the beginning, the Hiashi patriarch and Hinata said it in person. The position of the patriarch is reserved for those who are capable."
That Jōnin looked at Kazuo very calmly, without any fear because of the fierceness in his eyes, "I believe anyone in the clan who has some knowledge should know that Hyūga Hinata's strength is indeed good compared to ordinary ninjas of the same age. .”
"But from the patriarch's point of view, the difference is too much."
"She is almost ten years old and hasn't fully mastered the usage of Eight Trigrams Palms. In comparison, Neji from our branch house seems more qualified to take this seat?"
"Neji from our branch house has already been familiar with Eight Trigrams Palms, and with his own talent, he has also comprehended the techniques of Revolving Heaven. With him to lead, Hyuga will definitely go to the next level."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was silent for a few seconds.
But in the crowd, many people's eyes appeared strange.
main house, branch house...
Although the status of the main house and the branch house seems to have remained the same after the system change.
But in the end, these are two different words.
But what if the people in the branch house can really turn out someone who is capable of becoming the head of the house, as the people in the main house said? Then, will their lords abdicate as they promised at the beginning?
At that time, will the people in the branch house be inferior?
