Hikaru Hokage

-

"You're obviously so sleepy, yet you still insist on getting up and looking for me."

After helping Tsunade, who was already asleep, to take off her shoes and coat, Hino Hikaru tucked the quilt in for Tsunade with a loving look on her face, and hid the crystal necklace that he had been playing with on Tsunade for a long time.

(Tsunade: Bah, are you playing with the necklace?)

"And she's as shy as an inexperienced little girl."

She doesn't look like a woman in her 30s at all.

Except for this body that is more honey than a peach.

"The ninja world is too dangerous, and even the village is not peaceful. But don't worry, no matter whether you will become Hokage or not in the future, I will clear the obstacles for you in advance."

Whether it's Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the entire corrupt Konoha hierarchy, or even Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu who want to manipulate the entire ninja world.

All the people mentioned above have been on Hino Hikaru's death list.

"Um……"

I don't know what she was dreaming about in her sleep, but a very beautiful smile spread out on Tsunade's delicate and pretty face.

The lips that had just been moistened by Hino Hikaru's kiss also had a nice curve.

"My wife is so beautiful..."

Looking at the sleeping beauty sleeping under him, Hino Hikaru couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her again.

"I told you not to disturb Tsunade-sama's rest."

Shizune, who hurried back to the tent at some point, happened to see someone secretly kissing her Lady Tsunade.

Then a small face decisively showed an angry expression.

"If you really can't help it, it doesn't matter if you do that to me, but Tsunade-sama..."

"You are a brat, be careful I tell Tsunade everything you just said, and see if she will keep you by her side."

After seeing Tsunade's "little maid" back, Hino Hikaru had no choice but to stop harassing the sleeping beauty on the bed.

"I'm not young, and...I'm sorry, I will never say that kind of thing again. Don't let Tsunade-sama abandon me, I can really do anything..."

"Okay, take good care of Tsunade and don't let her sneak into the front battlefield again, you know?"

Not too young for A?

Hino Hikaru smiled and touched Shizune's head, then left the tent.

"Um……"

Indeed, she is partly responsible for letting Lady Tsunade come to such a dangerous battlefield.

The little Shizune lowered her head apologetically.

The little feet wearing sandals are clearly visible.

Damn, she seems so small!

Chapter 51 Kushina?

"Lord Hokage!"

"Hokage-sama is here to visit us!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Hokage-sama..."

After Hino Hikaru came out of the tent, he didn't go far when he saw the Third Hokage surrounded by a lot of ninjas.

"You have worked hard too. You are all heroes of Konoha. People in the village will always remember your contribution and blood and sweat!"

"Just now I have reached an agreement with the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village. They will withdraw their troops immediately and help us defeat Kumogakure's army!"

"Now, as long as we wait here for the good news from Minato's troops, we can declare that the result of this war is another complete victory for Konoha!"

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"

"Long live Hokage-sama! Long live Konoha!"

"Long live Hokage-sama!"

In this situation, looking at the crowds around them shouting long live, and Sarutobi Hiruzen standing in the center, gathering everyone's attention, Hino Hikaru wanted to shout a few words too, but...

He saw the graves of his comrades of various sizes not far away, and saw the broken limbs and broken arms around them...the crowds who were more or less bandaged but still excited.

And most of these excited people were children younger than Hino Hikari.

This is a scene that makes even militarism, Faxi Temple, and the IS terrorist organization cry silently after seeing it.

He couldn't shout long live, even if he was pretending.

"As long as there are leaves flying, fire will burn, the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout..."

The high-spirited Third Hokage, who was in the center of the crowd, began to excitedly recite the "doctrine" of Konoha Village when it was founded.

These words sounded good at first, but when I think about it, what Sarutobi Hiruzen burned were just the "new shoots" of Konoha Village, and the ashes produced by these new shoots nourished the "old roots" like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. After that, Hino Hikaru felt very nauseous.

You old guys go to the battlefield if you can!

Just throw some fatherless and motherless civilian ninja children into the battlefield as cannon fodder...

"Of course, we would also like to thank the heroic team who had the courage to go deep behind enemy lines and blow up the enemy's transportation bridge in this war. If it weren't for their efforts, I wouldn't have been able to let the Tsuchikage give in so quickly."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over and took Hino Hikari's hand in his.

The greetings began.

He looked like a friendly Hokage-sama.

"He is one of the hero teams led by Namikaze Minato Jonin and Sannin Tsunade, Hino Hikaru..."

Seeing this, Hino Hikaru could only cooperate and be shy.

"It turned out to be a team led by Tsunade-sama and Namikaze Jonin. No wonder they could do such a big thing!"

"Tsunade-sama saved many of us!"

"Yes, if Tsunade-sama hadn't come, most of us wounded people wouldn't have survived..."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to promote Namikaze Minato, most people still only recognized Tsunade.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. He is a medical ninja and a legendary Sannin. It is normal to have this kind of popularity.

"Where is Tsunade now?"

In fact, if Tsunade wants to be Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not impossible.

After being her teacher for so many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew that Tsunade was also good at handling things.

"Here, resting. Tsunade-sama, she has been working nonstop for three days and three nights, and now she is so sleepy that she fell asleep."

Hino Hikaru naturally would not let Sarutobi Hiruzen disturb Tsunade at this time.

So he focused on the reason why Tsunade was still sleeping.

"That's it, then take me to see some other little heroes."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Hino Hikaru had a very respectful expression on his face and acted out the fear he felt when being ordered by the Hokage.

-

After emphatically praising Uchiha Obito who was lying on the hospital bed, Sarutobi Hiruzen praised Kakashi and Nohara Rin in succession.

It wasn't until the onlooking ninjas had retreated that he asked about Kakashi's eyes.

"your eyes……"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, this Sharingan was given to me by Obito."

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

But he had always been like this, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Then you must make good use of this eye and don't let your companions down."

Did Kakashi get the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan...

Even if the other party gave it voluntarily, if this matter was reported back to the Uchiha clan, there would definitely be a different explanation.

Fortunately, Uchiha Obito is still alive.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"I heard that you plan to return to Konoha to recuperate early?"

"Well, Obito must go to the hospital to get the best treatment..."

"Then try not to show your Sharingan in the village, okay?"

"……I see."

Kakashi pulled down his forehead protector, covering the left eye containing the Sharingan.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your concern."

"You child, your father is a hero who sacrificed his life for the village. You are my child. There is no need to be so polite to me."

Shaking his head, after leaving Kakashi alone to say a few words, Sarutobi Hiruzen left Konoha's rear camp.

---

"Lin, Lin! We have become the heroes of Konoha!"

Compared to the calmness of several others, Obito, who was announced as a hero by the Hokage in public, was particularly excited now.

Although his entire body could not move, his mouth had not been idle since just now.

"Yes, yes, Obito is the great hero who saved Konoha."

Even Nohara Rin, who had the best temper, showed a helpless smile at this time.

Obito really looks like a child.

While she was thinking this, she secretly glanced in the direction of Hino Hikaru and Kakashi.

"Tomorrow we will set off back to the village. It is a B-class escort mission together with escorting Obito."

The war was decided, and Hino Hikaru and others' request to return to the village was quickly agreed to by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He even generously upgraded the tasks that were originally classified as C-level to B-level.

They will escort some of Konoha's seriously injured people back to the village tomorrow.

"Oh, I can do without your escort. Although I'm not completely healed, I still have one arm and one leg that I can use!"

When it comes to returning to the village, Obito is happy but also a little embarrassed.

Although he had no one at home, he was very afraid of his clan members and Kakashi, who always regarded him as a disabled person who needed to be taken care of.

Although this is already a fact.

"Shut up, get some rest, and go home tomorrow!"

Although it was very exciting today to be regarded as a hero, Kakashi felt confused when he thought of Obito and his father.

"Lin, look, Kakashi is mean to me again!"

"Okay, okay, you two are really..."

Somehow, Nohara Lin found that as long as she saw Obito and Kakashi bickering and playing around like before, she would feel extremely at ease.

I'll go home tomorrow...

It's a pity that she is also an orphan like Hino-san, and there is no immediate family waiting for her to return.

"Um, Nohara-san..."

"Just call me Lin."

Just when Nohara Rin and Obito said good night and came outside the medical tent, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Hino Hikaru was still waiting for her outside.

"Lin, although I haven't returned to the village yet, I have something to ask you in advance."

Hino Hikaru looked back at the girl in front of him.
