The cherry-colored bell swayed in the moonlight, making a crisp sound.
"Rashōmon..."
Kakashi's lazy voice sounded in the crisp bell, and that one word seemed to carry a strange magic.
'What was missing?' Kakashi couldn't think of it for a while, and finally chose to put it down for the time being.
'Tomorrow, we will arrive at the City of Fire. Seeing the Daimyō require a good mental outlook, so it is better to go to bed earlier now.'
Nothing happened in the night.
The next day, after putting on his attire, Kakashi followed Tsunade into the Daimyō's House in the City of Fire.
The news that the two are coming has already been sent to the Daimyō.
So the Daimyō come out to meet the two soon after they arrived.
The relationship between Daimyō and Hokage can be said to be very strange, and it won't be described here.
In short, in order to take the position, the new Hokage must be recognized by the Daimyō.
The Daimyō's right to speak is also very important in Konoha.
The Land of Fire's Daimyō is a thin middle-aged man. Although he looks a little lazy, his bright eyes show that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Hatake Kakashi? The son of Konoha's White Fang, the biggest hero in the Fourth Shinobi World War. It seems that this is the first time we have met." Daimyō looked at Kakashi and said with a smile.
"Yes, Daimyō-sama," Kakashi said respectfully.
Daimyō nodded in satisfaction and said to Tsunade: "Godaime, are you going to abdicate your position to Kakashi now?"
"Yes, Daimyō-sama. I have held the position of Hokage for the past few years, and I feel that I am not really suitable. In contrast, Kakashi is far better than me in both prestige and strength. I believe that with his ability, he will be able to bring Konoha to a better future."
"I see, but looking at your appearance, it seems that it is more likely that you are just lazy." Daimyō said with a chuckle.
Tsunade was a little embarrassed when she heard Daimyō's words.
Although her true reason is really as such, it still makes her embarrassed to hear others say it directly.
Daimyō shook his head with a smile and said: "Well, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that compared to other villages, the Hokage in our Land of Fire is replaced a little too often. The Land of Earth is only at Sandaime. The Land of Lightning is only at Yondaime, and even if it is the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, they are only at Godaime. It is not a good thing to change Hokage frequently. I hope you can understand this."
Hearing this, both Tsunade and Kakashi nodded as they knew that Daimyō's word is true.
Frequent changes of leaders of a village is indeed not a sign of prosperity.
After all, to become Hokage, in addition to their own abilities, experience is also very important.
A Hokage that is only taking the position for a few years is not good.
"When Yondaime died, I did not arrange a new Hokage, but agreed for Sandaime to continue to manage Konoha. This is my concern. Kakashi, you are still young, so I hope you can be in that position for a longer time. Understand?"
Daimyō said as his sharp eyes are looking straight at Kakashi.
"I understand, Daimyō-sama."
Seeing that Kakashi agreed, Daimyō smiled again and said: "That's good. I agree with this matter. The sixth day of the next month is a good day, so let's do the succession ceremony on that day."
"Yes, Daimyō-sama!"
Kakashi and Tsunade said in unison.
"By the way, the Fourth Shinobi World War this time is different from the past. The Five Great Shinobi Villages have cooperated with each other and now have deeper friendship. I hope you can communicate with the other villages more at the Five Kage Summit in the future. I hope that I will not see wars again in my lifetime. Kakashi, do you understand?"
Kakashi was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Daimyō is a pacifist, but it was naturally better that way.
"I understand."
"That's good. Now that the official business is done, let's talk about personal affairs." The Daimyō said with a smile.
"Personal affairs?" Kakashi was confused.
"I heard that you have a close relationship with Kirigakure's Godaime Mizukage. I wonder if it is true or not?"
The Daimyō said and the fan in his hand covered his mouth, as he seemed to be smiling.
"That..."
Kakashi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still replied: "Yes, my relationship with Mei is indeed extraordinary. I plan to marry her and bring her to Konoha later."
"So it's like that. That's a good thing, but I'm sure that guy from the Land of Water will be very upset. Hahaha when I think of that guy's expression, I really want to laugh. Kakashi, if you have a wedding in the future, remember to inform me. I will definitely give you a generous gift." The Daimyō said with a smile.
"Thank you, Daimyō-sama."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Daimyō's Mansion.
Although everything was a matter of course, Kakashi still felt a lot relaxed after it was really completed.
"What? Could it be that you're still nervous?" Tsunade on the side said with a chuckle.
"It's not enough that I'm nervous. It's just that I still feel that it is a little unreal seeing that I've come this far."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have such a time. Well, we should go back now. There is still a lot of work to be done for the succession ceremony," Tsunade said.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Daimyō's Mansion, the Daimyō sits in the study room and writes the appointment letter for the Rokudaime Hokage.
After that, the appointment letter will be sent to Konoha by a special person.
And there are also four notices that would to be sent to the other Four Great Shinobi Countries.
"It is very suitable for Hatake Kakashi to take over the position of the Rokudaime Hokage. Perhaps in this way, the world will usher a new era. It's just that the scale of the previous war is really amazing. For such people to live in my Land of Fire, this country is really lucky."
The Daimyō muttered to himself, and then signed the other documents together.
In just a short time, the news about Kakashi taking over the Rokudaime Hokage's position spread throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Some were surprised, some were terrified, some were afraid, and some were happy.
But Kakashi didn't care about their emotions.
He only knew that his life would reach a new turning point.
In the Land of Lightning, Yondaime Raikage looked at the document in his hand, and his expression changed constantly. After a while, he sighed and said: "So it's still like this. It seems that the trend is inevitable."
When Onoki received the news, his reaction was not much different from that of Raikage.
At the Land of Water, Kirigakure, Mei looked at the news in her hand and was overjoyed.
"Great, Kakashi has finally become the Hokage. Then..."
As if thinking of something, Terumi Mei's face flushed instantly, and she showed the attitude of a little child.
'In that case, I'll have to quickly look for the next Mizukage.'
Mei thought about it, and then called, "Come here!"
Two figures landed in front of Mei at this moment.
"Mizukage-sama!"
"Call Haku of the Ice Release and Chōjūrō."
"Yes!"
A smile appeared on Mei's face and then she murmured: "Let me see, who of you is more qualified to succeed this position."
The Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
Gaara put down the letter in his hand and walked towards the window.
The window is full of sand.
"So, Kakashi..."
