Chapter 683 Succession
October 16th should have been an ordinary day for Konoha.

But after this year, it will become less ordinary, and perhaps someone will remember on that day that on October 16th of a certain year, the Fourth Hokage ascended to the throne.

"Don't squeeze me, you guys are almost squeezing me into the Hokage building."

"Back off, back off a little, or you won't see Assistant Mu Yue, oh no, the Fourth Hokage."

In front of the Hokage Building, a large number of ninjas and Konoha citizens crowded beside the Hokage Building, waiting for the end of the Hokage succession ceremony.

The Hokage succession ceremony is held on the rooftop of the Hokage Building. Due to the size of the venue and safety considerations, only a small number of senior ninjas are qualified to watch the ceremony on the rooftop.

The remaining ninjas and the public could only wait outside, waiting for the outgoing Hokage to hand over the Hokage hat, which symbolized the Hokage, to the new Hokage. The new Hokage would then walk to the railing of the rooftop and give a brief inaugural speech to the people below.

Since the Hokage Building is very tall, it is very easy to see Mu Yue clearly while she is speaking. One cannot be too close to the Hokage Building, nor can one be too far away.

But there is only a small area with good seats, and with so many people coming, it is naturally crowded.

Fortunately, there were quite a few ninjas inside, so there was no stampede. If there was an accident, the ninjas nearby would take action immediately.

Compared to the area below, the rooftop was very quiet. No one spoke. The only voices coming from the ground were the sound of clothes being blown by the autumn wind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing in the central area of ​​the rooftop, while Mu Yue was facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, about three meters away from him.

The two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, stood behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, while the other Kirigakure envoy, Karitachi Yagura, who came to watch the ceremony, stood next to Mito Kado En.

After them are the famous jonin of Konoha, such as Orochimaru, Tsunade, Mr. Chen, and Minato Namikaze.

In addition to them, this row also includes ninja clan leaders or senior executives of important departments of Konoha such as Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Uchiha Fugaku.

In addition to achievements and positions, people with special identities can also stand in the front row, such as Kushina.

Although Kushina is not as famous as Minato, nor is she the leader of the ninja clan or the monitor of Class XX, she is a Jinchūriki, so she is also qualified to stand in the first row next to Namikaze Minato.

The next row behind are the senior jonin who have made some achievements, such as Hajime Mimura, and then the new jonin, such as Obito, Shisui, Kakashi and others.

Nohara Rin was not qualified at first, but she was Mu Yue's disciple after all, so she got the opportunity to watch the ceremony on the rooftop just like Obito and the others.

Otherwise, if everyone was watching on the rooftop, Nohara Rin, who was also a Jonin, would have to be treated the same as Yamato, who was still in the Jonin School, which would be a bit awkward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Mu Yue who was standing in front of him.

Mu Yue has already put on the specially made Hokage robe, and the only thing missing from becoming a Hokage is the Hokage hat.

Mu Yue seemed to be very suitable for wearing this white robe. It was obviously a simple piece of clothing, but when worn on Mu Yue, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt it was particularly refreshing and dazzling.

Seeing Mu Yue like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a little envious.

His succession ceremony to the Hokage was extremely simple for various reasons, and it was just a ceremony for the sake of holding a ceremony.

It is such a pity that such a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony was carried out in such a perfunctory manner. Thinking about it now, it is really a pity.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, took off the Hokage hat on his head, and held it steadily with both hands.

He couldn't go back to the day when the Hokage ceremony was held, so he had to make sure that Mu Yue's succession ceremony went smoothly and that Mu Yue would not have any regrets.

Tread.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the Hokage hat and walked slowly towards Mu Yue with a solemn look on his face. The sound of every step was very clear.

"In the future, I also want Master Mu Yue to pass the position of Hokage to me like this!" Obito looked at this scene and felt a great sense of pride in his heart.

From the time he entered the Ninja Academy to now, Obito has experienced a lot and changed a lot, but his dream has never changed, he wants to become Hokage!

Become an excellent Hokage who eliminates war and makes life better for everyone in Konoha!

In the past, Obito hated reading, to the point where he would subconsciously feel sleepy while reading.

However, after realizing that he could not be a good Hokage, or even become Hokage, Obito forced himself to read every day. Now, even when he is reading the math book that he used to be afraid of, he does not feel sleepy at all.

"Now that Muyue-sensei has officially become the Hokage, the family's problems will surely be solved more quickly." Shisui thought.

The Uchiha clan has problems both internally and externally, and as the Hokage, who is the pinnacle of power in Konoha, Shisui doesn't have to worry about external factors as long as Mu Yue is there.

Even because of the master-disciple relationship between Mu Yue, Shisui and Obito, it also has a very positive effect internally.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was only half a meter away from Mu Yue, he stopped, looked directly into Mu Yue's eyes, and handed the Hokage hat to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue stretched out both hands to take the Hokage hat, then raised it with his right hand and put it on.

During this process, neither Mu Yue nor Sarutobi Hiruzen said a word.

Bang bang! !
The moment Mu Yue put on the Hokage hat, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu began to applaud, and then the jonin behind them quickly began to applaud.

There was thunderous applause.

The applause lasted about twenty seconds.

"Please, Yondaime." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious expression.

From the moment Muyue put on the Hokage hat, the Hokage of Konoha will no longer be Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Hanyu Muyue.

"I will do my best." Mu Yue replied solemnly.

Bang bang! !
There was another burst of applause.

"The Hokage of Konoha was not even the commander of the troops a few years ago." Karuta Yagura lamented the impermanence of life.

He used to regard Mu Yue as just a troublesome opponent, but now he can't even become Mu Yue's equal.

"What vegetables should we buy later?" Tsunade looked thoughtful.

She doesn't care whether Mu Yue becomes Hokage or not, but the celebration party to celebrate the Hokage cannot be sloppy.

"Why don't you buy all the dishes you don't want to eat? After all, it's a celebration of becoming Hokage, so it makes sense to have something a little more sumptuous than a normal celebratory meal."

Tsunade decided to take them all, only children make choices.

"You've finally taken office, the Fourth Hokage." Uchiha Fugaku raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled.

The best era for Uchiha is coming soon. When Obito and Shisui grow up a little more, Uchiha will restore its former glory!
"Teacher Mu Yue, you will definitely become the best Hokage!" Obito shouted while clapping loudly.

As we all know, Mu Yue Xianren is omnipotent, and it is easy for him to be a Hokage.

Many jonin subconsciously looked at Obito, thinking that he was truly brave.

The best Hokage, doesn't that mean he should surpass all the other Hokage? The dead first and second generations are fine, but the third generation is still standing here. Kakashi, who was standing on the left of Obito, felt that the sun was particularly strong today, and it made his face feel as hot as if it was burned by fire.

Nohara Rin, who was standing on Obito's right, seemed to want to say something but ultimately did not speak.

"Fourth Hokage, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Everyone has high hopes for you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

Things have come to this point, of course Sarutobi Hiruzen will not get angry or hold a grudge against anyone over such a small matter.

And in his opinion, Mu Yue did have great potential and had the hope of surpassing him.

Mu Yue smiled slightly, quickly glanced at all the ninjas, then nodded and turned to walk towards the railing.

It's time to give the inaugural address.

When the ninjas and the people below saw Mu Yue wearing the Hokage hat, they instantly burst into huge cheers.

"Lord Yondaime Hokage!"

No matter they were jonin, chuunin, or common people, they were all shouting the Fourth Hokage.

After Mu Yue took off the Hokage hat and gave a warm smile to the people below, the sound reached a climax.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the golden sunlight shone on Mu Yue, making her golden hair particularly dazzling.

At this moment, Mu Yue's smile seemed to have real warmth, making the ninjas and the people feel reassuring warmth.

Then Mu Yue stretched out her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Under Mu Yue's powerful appeal, the originally noisy environment became quiet in the blink of an eye.

"My name is Hanyu Muyue. From now on, I will serve as the fourth Hokage of Konoha." Muyue looked at the crowd and said slowly.

clap clap clap! ! !
The next moment, the cheers and applause reached a climax, even louder than when Mu Yue just appeared.

Countless people cheered and clapped loudly to celebrate Mu Yue's succession to the throne as Hokage.

"I actually worked in the same office with the Hokage, asked him to teach me, drank and ate with him, and borrowed money from him." Ikeyi Yong applauded vigorously, and his mind couldn't help but recall the memory of Mu Yue when he first arrived at the Ninja School.

If Ichigo Yong were to describe Mu Yue's growth path, it would only be a dream.

At first he just thought Mu Yue was a nice colleague with some abilities, who had more potential than him, but limited.

As a result, Mu Yue became the vice-principal of the Ninja School within two years and directly jumped out of the Ninja School.

There were even more sparks and lightning all the way afterwards, and even the awesome Iketani Isamu couldn't understand it.

Four years, more than four years, from a Chunin teacher to a Hokage. Even ninja novels don't dare to write like this.

"It's incredible." Shimono Hisanobu exclaimed.

As the monitor of the teaching class, he witnessed how Mu Yue rose step by step in the Ninja School.

In the past, he was worried that Mu Yue would replace him as the monitor of the teaching class. Obviously, he underestimated Mu Yue. The Ninja School was too small for Mu Yue. Mu Yue's stage was the entire Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

"If Lord Danzo knew about this, he would definitely feel relieved." The former Root ninja and current training team leader couldn't help but sigh.

He is a survivor of the roots who stayed behind in the base.

All Root Ninjas know that Mu Yue is Shimura Danzo's proudest work, and they often use words like Mu Yue is the best Root Ninja to motivate new Root Ninjas, encouraging them to work hard towards Mu Yue.

He thought that Danzo's favorite Root member became the Hokage that Danzo most wanted to be. If Mu Yue's Root identity was not illegal and needed to be kept secret, this would definitely become a good story.

"He has finally officially succeeded to the throne." Yamato smiled sincerely and applauded Mu Yue.

He was the only Mu Yue disciple who was not watching the ceremony on the rooftop, but Yamato could understand that, after all, he was not even a ninja.

"Teacher Mu Yue, I have long felt that you should become Hokage!" Asuma shouted excitedly.

It had not been long since he was promoted to Jonin, nor had he held any important position, so he was unable to go to the rooftop to watch the ceremony and could only watch from below.

Asuma didn't care about this. After all, he himself didn't like his old father using the Hokage's privileges on him. He was not the only jonin down there. Most of the jonin were not qualified to watch the ceremony on the rooftop.

"Teacher Mu Yue!"

The ninjas who had taken Mu Yue classes at the Ninja School shouted in unison.

No matter who Mu Yue is, to them, Mu Yue will always be the teacher Mu Yue who deserves their respect.

"Fourth Hokage, that's great." Minato Namikaze looked at the golden-haired figure that was particularly dazzling under the sun, listened to the huge cheers below, and exclaimed sincerely.

As a ninja who aspired to become Hokage, Namikaze Minato also fantasized about himself succeeding the throne of Hokage.

And today's ceremony has fulfilled all of Minato Namikaze's fantasies about succession to the throne.

Even though he was not the protagonist of the ceremony, Minato Namikaze was very happy as one of the witnesses of Mu Yue's growth.

"It's okay, Minato, you're so young, you still have a chance." Kushina noticed the envy hidden in Namikaze Minato's eyes and comforted him, reaching out and grabbing Namikaze Minato's hand.

Minato Namikaze was slightly stunned and let out a light breath.

Although Mu Yue is far ahead of Minato in all aspects and is justified in being the Hokage, it is hard not to be envious when he sees his good brother fulfilling the dream he wanted to fulfill.

"Maybe Mu Yue will abdicate after ten or twenty years. By then, you will only be in your thirties or forties. It's not too late." Kushina continued.

Mu Yue is now the youngest Kage in the entire ninja world. He succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-two. It is hard to say whether there will be successors, but it is indeed unprecedented.

Namikaze Minato grasped Kushina's hand, smiled and said softly: "If there is an opportunity, then you should strive for it. If there is no opportunity, there is no need to force it."

Namikaze Minato was truly convinced that Mu Yue was the Hokage.

As long as Mu Yue does not abdicate voluntarily, Namikaze Minato will not have the idea of ​​becoming Hokage, and will not exercise subjective initiative like Danzo Shimura. Even if there is no chance to become Hokage, he will create opportunities to become Hokage.

Whether it was the jonin watching the ceremony on the rooftop or the ninjas and people on the ground, they were all celebrating the appearance of the new Hokage in great harmony.

Facing those who supported her, Mu Yue did not hesitate to smile, and she kept a warm smile throughout to respond to everyone.

And in the scene that only Mu Yue could see, Obito's life mission began to soar.

Hot trivia: except for the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who is related by blood to the First Hokage, all the other Hokage up to the Seventh Hokage all have a master-disciple relationship with him.

A disciple of the Hokage may not necessarily become a Hokage, but most of those who can become Hokage have a Hokage as their master. Either their teacher is the Hokage, or their teacher's teacher is the Hokage.
