Flowing Water of Konoha

Tsunade: "Then the meeting is over, Kakashi, please come to the Hokage's office later."

Tsunade stood up from the Hokage's chair, scanned everyone's expressions, and walked out of the conference room...

At the door of the conference room, Shizune stood nervously aside, the pig in her arms being strangled, and she was a little out of breath.

"Click" The door of the conference room was opened from the inside, and Tsunade walked out of it expressionlessly.

Tsunade: "Shizune, come with me to the Hokage's office."

When Shizune heard the voice of Tsunade-sama, her nervous mood immediately calmed down.

The dolphin in his arms was panting heavily. Just now, it thought it was going to be strangled to death by its owner.

The two came to the Hokage's office. Tsunade opened the door and looked at the familiar office, feeling a little dazed...

Tsunade walked to the side that belonged to the Hokage and reached out to touch the back of the chair. There was a thin layer of dust on her hands.

Tsunade: "I never thought I would sit in this seat!"

Tsunade's eyes were very complicated, and she might no longer be called Konoha Village in the future...

Shizune: "Tsunade-sama..."

Shizune looked like something was wrong since she entered the Hokage's office, especially where she kept staring at the Hokage's seat.

Tsunade: "Oh...it's nothing, I just feel a little emotional about becoming Hokage..."

Tsunade was awakened from her memories by Shizune's voice and said in a panic.

Shizune: Tsunade-sama is feeling a little weird these days. Is there something happening that I don't know about?

Tsunade adjusted her mentality and sat on the Hokage's chair...

"Boom...boom...boom..."

"Hokage-sama, I am Hatake Kakashi."

A voice that was slightly different from the usual laziness, with a cold aura belonging to ANBU, came into the ears of Tsunade and Shizune from outside the Hokage's office.

Tsunade: "Come in!"

Tsunade's voice also became somewhat majestic and belonged to the Hokage.

Hatake Kakashi: "Yes! Hokage-sama!"

With a click, the door of the office was opened by Hatake Kakashi from the outside.

Kakashi Hatake entered the Hokage's office and carefully observed the situation in the office with his eyes.

"Well, it's just Tsunade-sama... No, it's Hokage-sama and Shizune? I won't be the only one on this mission!... Even so, I will protect Hokage-sama."

Hatake Kakashi was thinking about what happened to Master Jiraiya who came to him last night.

Last night, Kakashi Hatake returned home after helping Sasuke train. When he walked into the room, his instinct after a long period of dangerous missions told him that there was someone in his room...

Under the cover of the forehead protector, the three magatama in Kakashi Hatake's left eye were spinning rapidly...

These were only completed the moment Kakashi Hatake opened the door...

"Crash!..." The old-fashioned sliding door opened with a familiar force.

The magatama in Kakashi Hatake's left eye returned to its standby state when he saw the figure sitting cross-legged in the room...

Hatake Kakashi: "Phew! Lord Jiraiya, why did you come back to me?"

That's right, it was Jiraiya. He came to Kakashi's house in the afternoon to wait for his return.

But what Jiraiya didn't expect was that he fell asleep waiting and didn't wait for Kakashi's return.

Jiraiya: "Ah... Huh... Is it Kakashi?... You're finally back! I've been waiting for you all afternoon."

Jiraiya answered the question a little confused...huh?Kakashi!

Hatake Kakashi:  …

"Jiraiya-sama, is there anything you need me to do?"

Hatake Kakashi felt that something troublesome was going to happen to him.

Jiraiya: "Kakashi, Tsunade has returned to Konoha."

Hatake Kakashi: "Tsunade-sama, have you agreed to become Hokage?"

Hatake Kakashi stared at Jiraiya with a dead fish eye. He had not received news that Tsunade-sama had returned to Konoha.

Jiraiya: "Tsunade has agreed to become the fifth Hokage of Konoha."

Hatake Kakashi: "That's great. The crisis in Konoha can be resolved, and I can read with peace of mind."

These days, Hatake Kakashi is either helping Sasuke and Haruno Sakura train, or patrolling Konoha with his ANBU teammates.

He didn't even have time to read Jiraiya-sama's famous book "Making Love in Heaven".

"Kakashi, do you remember Shimura Danzo?" Jiraiya's expression became a little gloomy.

"Danzo Shimura, the Dark Ninja World, the leader of the Konoha Root Ninjas, my father's death also had something to do with him." Hatake Kakashi's expression also became gloomy.

Jiraiya: ...

"Kakashi...we were attacked by root ninjas on our way back to Konoha!"

Hatake Kakashi: "Shimura Danzo! How dare he do this! That's Tsunade-sama who is about to become the Fifth Hokage!"

After finishing speaking, Hatake Kakashi seemed to think of something from the past that he didn't want to think about again...

Hatake Kakashi slumped down on the tatami somewhat dejectedly.

"Yes! Danzo Shimura dared to do this. I was bewitched by him and assassinated the Third Master who was about to take over as Minato-sensei..."

Jiraiya: "Kakashi, that's not your fault, you were just bewitched by Danzo! ...Sarutobi-sensei also forgives you."

Hatake Kakashi: "Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama... no, the safety of Hokage-sama will be guarded by me, Hatake Kakashi!"

Unbeknownst to Kakashi Hatake, the three magatama beads in his left eye seemed to be connecting together to form a new pattern...

Jiraiya: "Kakashi, how many people will help you on this mission? You will know when you go to the Hokage's office to see Tsunade tomorrow."

Jiraiya stood up from the tatami, took out a book with a somewhat exquisite cover from his arms and handed it to Hatake Kakashi.

旗木卡卡西：(?3?0?7?9?6?3?7?9?3?0)

"Jiraiya-sama, this is...this is a collection of books from the "Intimate Paradise" that has not yet released the latest volume!"

Hatake Kakashi took the "Intimate Paradise" from Jiraiya's hands with trembling hands...

Jiraiya: "I heard from Naruto that you are a big fan of mine. This book is a collector's edition given to me by the book club... so I gave it to you."

Jiraiya was reluctant to take his hands off the book...

Go back to Hokage's office.

Tsunade: "Kakashi, Jiraiya told you the tasks you needed to perform yesterday!"

"Hokage-sama, I already know how to do the task." Kakashi Hatake replied respectfully.

Tsunade: "Kakashi Hatake, I issue an S-level mission to you in the name of Hokage. Kakashi Hatake will lead Team [-] to escort Tsunade, the fifth generation Hokage, to the City of Fire to meet the Daimyo in one week."

Hatake Kakashi: "Lord Hokage, I disagree that Team [-] only has three genin, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. Due to their strength, they cannot participate in S-level missions..."

Hatake Kakashi only accepted the first S-level mission assigned to the Hokage, and it was also the first mission assigned by Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage in the Hokage's office.
