Chapter 311

Two years later.

On the top floor of the Hokage building.

"Yeruashi! Hurry up! The graduation ceremony is about to begin!»

Rin walked to the entrance of Yeruashi's room and exclaimed.

Yeruashi came out of the bedroom and yawned, " It's just a graduation, nothing important, let Hiruzen give a speech, he's good at it.»

"This won't do!»

Rin pushed Yeruashi to the mirror: "The third Hokage is not the same, these children of Konoha are waiting for you. I'll help you get ready!»

Under Rin's pressure, Yeruashi sat down in front of the mirror and said helplessly, " Since you care so much about the younger generation, why didn't you go to lecture at the academy?»

Rin picked up a comb, started to fix Yeruashi's hair, and grumbled: "I really care about the younger generation! So, when are we going to have a baby?»

"I feel like I'm still a kid myself, heh heh heh...»

Yeruashi leaned back in his chair and grinned.

Rin couldn't help but laugh at Yeruashi's behavior: "If they saw you like this, I'm afraid the image of the esteemed Lord Hokage would be completely destroyed.»

In the last year, Yeruashi has shifted most of the business to Kakashi and Mei, and he has barely appeared in the Hokage's office.

The shadow clone would give him all his memories after dispelling them anyway, so lately, Yeruashi had come to rely on him even when he was in Konoha.

"Eh, my youth is already lost...»

Yeruashi sighed a little helplessly.

Now he is twenty-seven years old, but this is only in the time of the Naruto world, in fact, given the ability to accelerate the flow of time, the age of his physical body is already about forty years old.

Yeruashi really felt the changes happening to him.

Initially, it was filled with the power of youth, but over time, it weakened more and more. Other than directing Hinata's training, there were very few things that could cheer him up.

This happened, among other things, because of becoming too strong.

If someone appeared who was a real threat and could make you fight with all your might, then Yeruashi's mood would immediately rise sharply. But now, even Kaguya Ootsutsuki is unable to awaken the fighting spirit and emotions in Yeruashi that he felt when he was a Genin or a Chuunin.

"Hey, hey, cheer up!»

Rin smiled and kissed Yeruashi, then draped the Hokage's cloak over his shoulders and took the Hokage's hat out of the closet.

Yeruashi reached out and put the hat on his head.

After completing his preparations, he sighed and went outside.

On the training ground of the Shinobi academy, a large number of children gathered, including Naruto and Sasuke, who were graduating, as well as newly arrived children.

Backstage in front of the training ground, Kakashi looked at the new Yoruashi: "Finally here, I thought you weren't coming at all.»

"Ah, how could you think of such a thing, brother? After all, there is a student of mine among the graduates.»

Yeruashi shrugged and stared at Kakashi, " This chakra is also the life force...have you completed the practice of the Sage Body?»

"Yes.»

Kakashi nodded, " Yesterday.»

After saying this, Kakashi thought about something, turned pale slightly, and said suspiciously, " Are you really going to dump some business on me again? I have already said that I want to take a team of Genins and rest for a year...or a couple...»

Yeruashi looked at his younger brother with disdain, " Did I ever impose tasks on you?»

Kakashi just looked at Yeruashi.

Although he didn't say anything, that look seemed to scream: 'Exactly! Don't you do it all the time, brother?!'

"Don't worry, brother, I was just going to give you one of the gifts I mentioned earlier when you succeed me as Hokage, but since you have already completed the practice of the Sage Body, you can give it in advance.»

Yeruashi patted Kakashi on the shoulder and sauntered past him.

In a few seconds.

He walked up to the stage set up specifically for the academy's graduation ceremony.

When he appeared, the entire playground immediately began to boil, the students of the academy endlessly respected and revered the legendary Fifth Hokage.

While the eyes of girls like Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno were shining like never before, some couldn't even contain their excitement and started shouting.

"Lord Hokage...so beautiful....»

It was a rare case when such behavior of girls did not cause outrage among the guys.

Even the two most popular guys in the class, Namikaze Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, were forced to agree with the girls.

Really.

The most beautiful Hokage in history.

It is impossible to argue with this.

"Great...I will definitely become the next Hokage!»

Naruto looked respectfully at the Fifth Hokage on the stage.

Yeruashi had supervised his training several times, and Naruto already knew that after the death of his father, it was Yeruashi who took care of him and his mother, all this greatly weakened his desire to surpass the Fifth Hokage.

"Hmm, I intend to become the first Hokage of the Uchiha Clan, so some people will have to step aside.»

Sasuke, who was standing next to him, looked condescendingly at Naruto and said coldly.

In fact, initially he was not interested in the post of Hokage at all, but because Naruto kept shouting about it as his eternal rival, Sasuke also eventually set himself this goal.

"Lord Hokage, I love you!!»

A girl's cry came from somewhere.

Yeruashi, who was already standing in the middle of the stage, smiled a little helplessly when he heard this cry: "Then I can go to jail...»

The children on the playground laughed.

At this moment, the eyes of many of the girls looking at Yeruashi began to shine even brighter.

"This isn't the first time I've given a graduation speech. This year will be nothing new, most of you have already heard this last year.»

Yeruashi smiled and briefly looked at the children on the playground, his gaze lingered on several familiar faces and settled on Hinata: "The mission of every Shinobi is to help the development of this world, so that all people can live better...»

"Each of those who will soon complete their training and put this burden on their shoulders will become an important stone in the foundation of the world, will become a hero...»

Yeruashi was making a speech with a smile.

At some point, Kurenai, Shizune, and the other girls appeared backstage, their eyes fixed on Yeruashi's figure on the stage.

"...remember.»

"The flame of the will of fire will burn forever!»

Yeruashi finished his speech with the usual words and left the stage with a smile and a round of applause.
