Chapter 776 News

"I'm going to become the Hokage in a month?"

In the Hokage Tower, Kakashi looked at Tsunade in surprise.

There are also Sandaime Hokage and Jiraiya next to her.

"Yeah, why are you surprised? You don't want it? I thought you had realized it long ago." Tsunade said with a smile.

"No, no, it's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast." Kakashi said helplessly.

"Haha, Kakashi, this is not fast at all. Originally, this position should be yours four years ago." Sandaime Hokage said with a smile.

"Yes, Kakashi, I have handled a lot of troubles for you in the past four years."

Tsunade said, looking at Kakashi with unhappy expression.

Being a Hokage is definitely not something to be happy about for a person with a personality like Tsunade.

Especially in the past few years, the Shinobi World has become chaotic, and she as the Hokage has more things to do.

Seeing Tsunade like this, Kakashi knew that he couldn't escape this time.

'Well, it will happen sooner or later.'

"Okay, I understand." Kakashi said a little dejectedly.

Being a Hokage is indeed a glorious thing, but it also means losing freedom.

At least for a while, he won't be able to leave Konoha.

"Well, don't be dejected like that. Tsunade is doing this for your own good." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"For my own good?" Kakashi was confused.

"Of course it is for your own good. Everyone knows about you and Terumi Mei. Although you are the hero who saved the Shinobi World, you are only an Anbu Commander. Only by becoming Hokage can you be equal to Terumi Mei." Jiraiya said seriously.

"Is there really need to be like that?"

Kakashi was stunned.

"Of course, if the wife in the family is in a higher position, others will always have strange ideas. Although we may not care, some others may spread some bad rumors. This kind of trouble is not good, after all, you both are public figures," Jiraiya said with a sigh.

Kakashi glanced at Jiraiya strangely after hearing this.

'Is Jiraiya-sama talking about himself?'

Maybe this suggestion was what Jiraiya wanted to say to Tsunade.

These two guys have accepted each other now, but they have never thought about getting married or something.

At least, those two are free-spirited people.

After the burden of Hokage's position was thrown to Kakashi, the two of them could both wander the Shinobi World without any burden.

Kakashi understood at this moment, 'Jiraiya-sama is really a scheming old man!'

At this moment, could clearly see the flickering cunning light in Jiraiya's eyes.

Although he understood Jiraiya's plan, Kakashi couldn't say anything.

'Hah, as expected of the master who wrote about the Icha-Icha series, he really is good at this.'

'Speaking of Icha-Icha, Koyuki said that she was going to play in this movie. I wonder how it is going.'

'It's probably coming out soon.'

'Aahh, I really want to go see it.'

'Eh, it seems that my thought started to wonder to somewhere strange.'

"Kakashi, if you have no problem with it, I will hold a Jōnin Meeting tomorrow, and then I will go to the City of Fire and tell Daimyō-sama about this," Tsunade said.

"Yes, I understand, Tsunade-sama," Kakashi said respectfully.

Kakashi taking the Hokage's position is finally decided.

"Kakashi, don't worry. In order to make up for the loss for getting into this position so early, I will give you a great gift when you get married. I believe Mei will like it too."

"What is it?" Kakashi asked curiously.

It's a secret. But I don't believe that any girl can refuse this gift." Tsunade said mysteriously.

Kakashi stopped asking when he heard this.

He already has some speculations his heart. 'If that is the case, it is indeed more precious than any gift.'

The next day, the Jōnin Meeting was held as scheduled.

In addition to summarizing the Fourth Shinobi World War, the news that Kakashi will serve as the Rokudaime Hokage was also officially announced.

Although everyone was surprised that Kakashi would take over so quickly, they all accepted it quickly.

Because everyone already has a tacit understanding about this.

"We will now start the vote. For those who agree to Hatake Kakashi to take the Rokudaime Hokage's position, please raise your hand," Tsunade said.

The corners of Nara Shikaku's mouth curled slightly, revealing an intriguing smile, and then he raised his right hand.

Uchiha Fugaku also had a look of joy on his face and raised his right hand.

Hyuga Hiashi, Aburame Shibi, Akimichi Chōza, Yamanaka Inoichi, etc., all raised their right hands one after another.

With just a glance, it could be seen that everyone expressed their approval.

Kakashi's reputation has already met this standard.

Moreover, Kakashi was the MVP during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

At this time, Kakashi's reputation can be said to be unmatched.

Tsunade nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Since everyone agreed, I will take Kakashi with to the City of Fire tomorrow and report this to Daimyō-sama."

After the meeting, Shikaku looked at Fugaku next to him and said with a smile: "It seems that a new era has begun."

"Yeah, Kakashi has finally become Hokage, and in the future, Konoha will become stronger." Fugaku said with emotion.

'When I first met Kakashi, he was still a kid.'

'I didn't expect him to become such an amazing figure now.'

'For the Uchiha Clan to be like this right now, it's all thanks to Kakashi's help.'

Fugaku has always felt gratitude towards Kakashi in his heart.

"Maybe the Shinobi World will also have a new era," Shikaku murmured.

"Huh?"

Fugaku gave Shikaku a puzzled look, and then he seemed to understand something, and his face also showed a contemplative expression.

After the meeting was over, the news swept the entire village like a whirlwind.

"Have you heard? Kakashi-sama is going to become the Rokudaime Hokage!"

"What? Really? But Tsunade-sama has only been in the office for four years."

"This news is definitely true. Hokage's direct subordinates have posted notices on the bulletin board. I just wondered why Tsunade-sama is stepping down so soon."

"What's so strange about this? I heard that Kakashi-sama was originally going to be the Godaime Hokage four years ago. But Kakashi-sama felt that he was too young, and he is still not good enough in many areas. That's why he declined. In the end, Jiraiya-sama was asked to find Tsunade-sama so that she can become the Godaime Hokage."

"So that's how it is. Kakashi is too humble. Even four years ago, I think Kakashi-sama is already deserved to become the Hokage."

The woman said with fanaticsm in her eyes. She is obviously Kakashi's fangirl.

"Of course it is. Although Tsunade-sama did a good job, Kakashi-sama is young and handsome, so he will definitely be better!" Another woman said with a blushing face.

"I'm really curious, who will be Kakashi-sama's wife, I hope it's me."

"Don't think about it. Kakashi-sama's wife must be an amazing person."

"That's right."

Under the Hokage Rock, two figures stood quietly.

"Congratulations, Kakashi."
