Chapter 193: The position of Hokage is determined, and the family must be together.
After giving the choice to the two, Xingye Feng left without looking back.
"I have cleared the way for you. The rest is up to you."
Xingye Feng looked at Canyang and grinned. He seemed to see his former self in the sea of clouds.
"Teacher, I have brought up Konoha by hand, and it is time to let go."
"I have fulfilled most of the promises I made. I will leave the rest to the younger generations to explore."
He shook his head and walked forward with a smile on his face, his steps were slow but very steady.
After walking around Konoha, Feng Hoshino slowly stopped and looked at the two people in the house with a gentle expression.
He was in a daze for a while, then stepped in.
It was dinner time, and in the living room, the sixteen-year-old Hoshino Teru looked a little more mature and less childish.
But in front of his parents, he is still a child.
The three of them placed four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. It has been like this since Xingye Feng moved out and has never been missed.
Sakura Kinomoto looked at the empty bowls and chopsticks with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, but she quickly came to her senses and sighed.
"Xiao Feng...hasn't been back for a long time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally warm scene was suddenly broken, and Hoshino Teru's joyful expression suddenly darkened.
"He is the Hokage." Hoshino Yota shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Upon hearing this, Sakura Kinomoto was suddenly speechless and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Jingle Bell--
The wind chimes hanging on the door suddenly rang, an ethereal and crisp sound was heard, and a figure who had not returned for a long time appeared at the door.
With a snap, the chopsticks in Sakura Kinomoto's hand fell to the ground. She covered her mouth and wiped her eyes in disbelief.
Everything in front of me is real!
"Mom, I'm back." Xingye Feng smiled like a spring breeze, warming his chest.
Sakura Kinomoto's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she rushed straight towards Kaede Hoshino, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks, and she kept talking.
"It's good to be back. It's good to be back."
Xingye Feng opened his hands helplessly, a little at a loss. He turned his head to look at the two people who were still in a daze and asked.
"What's happening here."
Xingye Hui shook his head vigorously, and then said excitedly: "Brother, why are you back?"
Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows: "You mean, I can't come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two "fierce" gazes immediately fell on Hoshino Teru.
Xingye Hui waved his hands and explained hurriedly: "I mean, you never come back for dinner."
After saying this, the heavy pressure receded like the tide, allowing Hoshino Teru to breathe a sigh of relief.
Hoshino Kaede gave Kinomoto Sakura a reassuring look, then sat down in his seat and spoke lightly.
"I've resigned from the position of Hokage. I'll probably eat here more often from now on."
Hoshino Teru exclaimed, his face almost sticking to Hoshino Kaede.
"No way, brother, you really don't want to be Hokage anymore?!!"
At this time, Kinomoto Sakura came back to her senses and said nervously and worriedly: "Is this really okay?"
Everyone knew how popular his eldest son was in Konoha.
Almost all policies of Konoha were formulated by him, and his prestige was at its peak.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the first generation Hokage were to be resurrected at this moment, he would not be as famous as Hoshino Kaede.
Once this news spreads, it is estimated that it will cause a major earthquake, shaking Konoha and the ninja world.
Faced with their surprise and worry, Xingye Feng remained calm, picked up his chopsticks and talked while eating.
"It's okay. In fact, there were already signs of giving up my position a few years ago, and everyone else knew about it."
"This time we are just deciding on the candidate, and there is still some time before we give up the position."
Hoshino Yota pretended to be calm while picking food for him, but asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Who will be the next Hokage?"
Xingye Feng's hand that was picking up the food paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at him, with a speechless look in his eyes.
"Do you think I'll tell it?"
Hoshino Yota laughed twice: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Xingye Feng shook his head, lowered his head to eat, and didn't say anything else.
......
At the same time, the candidate for Hokage was finally announced.
Time goes back to the moment when Xingye Feng just went out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely conflicted, as if there were two little people fighting each other.
On one hand, he is asked to compete for the position of Hokage, while on the other hand, he is advised to give up and enjoy his retirement.
This is the position of Hokage, the highest symbol of power in Konoha.
Not only that, after Kaede Hoshino's operations, basically the entire Fire Nation must obey the orders of the Hokage.
The Daimyo Prefecture is in name only, and almost everyone can see that the growth of Konoha Village is inevitable.
It can be said that the Land of Fire is now controlled by Konoha.
Except for the lack of a name, it has everything it should have.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such temptation?
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing gradually became heavier, and he almost wanted to speak first, but he held back several times.
The biggest difference between Hiruzen and Danzo is that he always thinks twice before doing anything.
Although the temptation was great, he held back because he was hesitant in his heart. Could he lead Konoha to the throne?
The situation is very good right now and Konoha has a solid foundation. If there is any mistake at this critical juncture, it will be a sinner for all eternity.
He hesitated and hesitated, fear gradually occupied his heart, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Hatake Sakumo who was also in deep thought.
It was surprising to find that his eyes changed from nervous, to conflicted, and finally to determined. In an instant, a sharpness spread throughout his body.
Like a newly formed sword, the sword energy rises into the sky, revealing its sharp edge.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed with a complicated expression and shook his head: "I'm old, old."
After he finished speaking, he bent his body and walked out with an indescribable sense of old age.
"Elder Sarutobi." After walking a few steps, Sakumo's voice came from behind.
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused but did not look back.
Hatake Sakumo stood up, his voice firm and sharp, but it was well hidden.
"Thank you."
Just one sentence, two words, that's all Shumao said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reply, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head, his steps a little unsteady, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.
Hatake Sakumo looked at this senior who had served three generations of Hokage, with respect in his eyes until the hunched figure disappeared.
He exhaled, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, muttering to himself: "The responsibility of Hokage is entrusted to me, and I will not let you down."
As the words fell, his face turned determined and he clenched his fists tightly.
After staying alone for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Hatake Sakumo walked out of the door and immediately saw his son and wife.
His expression suddenly became gentle, and the sword, which had always been sharp, now had a scabbard to restrain it.
"Why are you here? It's so late. You should take the children to rest."
The woman smiled pitifully and said, "I'm here to take you home. A family should be together."
