Chapter 66: The Fourth Hokage

To celebrate Minato's succession as the Fourth Hokage, a few close friends and family decided to hold a big party at Minato's place. There was Minato's teacher Jiraiya, Minato's student Kakashi, and Satoru was also brought by Kakashi. It was said that there were desserts made by Kushina herself, and Satoru also wanted to taste how good Kushina's craftsmanship was.

"Congratulations, Minato, being Hokage has always been your dream, and now you have finally realized your dream."

Jiraiya's face was slightly red, and he raised his glass and said.

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei, if it weren't for Teacher Jiraiya's teachings, I wouldn't have been able to become Hokage."

Minato said humbly.

"I didn't expect that one day I could also teach a Hokage, hahaha."

As he spoke, a lewd smile appeared on Jiraiya's face.

"Congratulations, Minato-sensei."

This was what Kakashi said.

"Um, thank you for Kakashi's blessings."

"Well, really, the food hasn't been served yet, and you're already drunk."

At this time, Kushina came out of the kitchen, looking at the slightly red-faced people, and said with a look of resentment.

"No, no, no, I haven't drunk too much."

Satoru raised his hand and said, the expression on his face seemed to say I'm good.

"Satoru this is my first time making desserts, I don't know if it suits your taste, you try it."

Then Kushina brought out a baking tray from her hand, on which there were several lumps of black things, and a puff of black smoke was emitting.

"Um, it's a bit burnt for the first time, it should be okay, Satoru, you taste it quickly."

Looking at the dessert getting closer and closer, Satoru's body, along with the stool sitting under his butt, began to retreat unconsciously.

"No, no, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to turn off the fire at home, I'll go back first."

After speaking, Satoru immediately used teleportation to leave Minato's house.

"Really, is it that scary?"

Looking at the dessert in front of her, Kushina's tone was a bit depressed.

"I'll taste it, I think it must be delicious."

Minato, who was in a daze, picked up a piece of black stuff and put it in his mouth. There was no change in the expression on his face. Even after swallowing it into his stomach, he was still smiling.

"Um, it's really delicious as expected of Kushina, but don't make it next time."

"Is it so delicious?"

Looking at the black stuff, Jiraiya said with some disbelief.

"Then I'll taste it too."

After speaking, Jiraiya directly picked up one and threw it into his mouth.

But the next second, Jiraiya's face began to turn black, and his two hands fiercely pinched his throat. Looking at Minato who was still squinting in front of him, he directly gave him a thumbs up, and then fell down.

Then, Minato also fell down.

"Did these two drink too much? Really, if you can't drink, don't drink anymore. Kakashi, please help Teacher Jiraiya in. I'll take care of Minato."

"Yes"

When Satoru returned home, he was a little scared. He now seriously suspected that if he ate that lump of black stuff, he would not be able to see tomorrow's sun.

"Kakashi is not coming back, it seems that I can only solve dinner by myself."

After another month, the appointment from the Land of Fire finally came down. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire has recognized Namikaze Minato's ability to lead Konohagakure Village and agreed to his succession as the Fourth Hokage.

And today is the day Minato takes office.

All the villagers of Konohagakure Village gathered on the street to welcome this great and sacred moment. Everyone, whether they had something to do or not, all gathered.

The patriarchs of all the clans gathered together, and all the elders of Konohagakure appeared, with Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya all present.

At the Hokage building, Namikaze Minato stood behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Minato, from today onwards, the heavy responsibility of the Hokage is on your shoulders. I hope you can carry on the Will of Fire and not let down the villagers' hopes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen placed the Hokage hat on Namikaze Minato's head.

"I will definitely not disappoint the villagers."

Looking at the hopeful expressions on everyone's faces below, Minato knew that this was what he needed to protect in the future.

"From today onwards, I will succeed as the Fourth Hokage. I promise everyone that I will definitely not let you down."

"Oh~"

A series of cheers came from the villagers' mouths. They were cheering, cheering that the Fourth Hokage was indeed their choice.

"If Minato takes the position, then the relationship between the villagers and our clan should be adjusted, right?"

Looking at Namikaze Minato, who had taken the position, the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, felt a little more settled in his heart.

After all, his relationship with Minato is not bad, and his wife's relationship with Minato's wife is very good. If other people succeed as the Fourth Hokage, it is very likely that they will continue to suppress the Uchiha clan.

"It seems that Minato is indeed the people's choice."

Nara Shikaku felt the enthusiasm of the villagers and spoke.

"Yes, after all, the nickname 'Little Sun' is not for nothing."

Yamanaka Inoichi spoke.

In front of other ninja villages, Namikaze Minato is the Yellow Flash that makes people tremble, but in front of the villagers of Konohagakure Village, Namikaze Minato is the Little Sun that brings warmth to people.

"Besides Minato, I can't think of anyone else who is suitable to succeed as Hokage."

Akimichi Chouza said vaguely with his mouth full of snacks.

He had carried out several missions with Minato, and his heart had long been conquered by Minato's charismatic personality.

There are many ninjas who have the same idea as Akimichi Chouza, and there are also many supporters who have seen Namikaze Minato's strength in the Third Ninja War and have been saved by Minato.

"Congratulations, Minato."

Kushina looked up at Minato with admiration in her eyes.

Her dream was also to become Hokage, although she failed now, but she also became the wife of the Hokage, which can be considered as half of her dream come true.

"Minato is very suitable for this position, at least more suitable than me."

Sakumo, who was next to Satoru, spoke. He looked at Minato, who had a confident smile on his face. He once had the opportunity to stand there.

"But isn't your life now exactly what father dreams of? At least I feel that father is happier now than before."

"Yes, this ordinary and common life is a life that I never dared to imagine after becoming a ninja."

"Our ninja's life is a life that ordinary people dream of, but isn't the life of ordinary people also what some ninjas aspire to?"

"That's true."

Now all the major ninja villages in the ninja world know that the Yellow Flash has succeeded as the Fourth Hokage.

Soon after, Kumogakure also sent out a message that the Fourth Raikage had successfully succeeded.

In these years, the positions of the shadows of the three major ninja villages have changed, Sunagakure Ninja Village, Konohagakure Village, Kumogakure.
