Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"'The Sixth Hokage'?"

Kakashi was stunned.

He thought it would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Isn't it too early? After all, Lady Tsunade hasn't been in this position for a few years, has she?"

"No, it's late!"

Tsunade suddenly sighed and shook her head and said, "Kakashi, do you know your current reputation in the ninja world?"

"do not know."

Kakashi shook his head.

I have been taking care of Sachi in the Iron Country these days. He is not feeling well, so there is no need to involve him in official duties.

I also stay at home most of the time and rarely go out. I don't pay much attention to the outside world, and I don't tend to be noticed by others either.

His understanding of the current situation in the ninja world is really just like that of a 'savage'...

"This kind of popular support would be fine if it only happened in the village, but letters from outside the village arrive every day.

"Either it's an invitation to a banquet or something like that, or it's news that some famous family is looking for a son-in-law, or it's from some fanatical and crazy group of people... I've already let Yunzi Tiesi filter out these anonymous letters from unknown sources."

Tsunade said, raising her hand and slamming the table.

"But some people are taking it too far. They rely on their status as a 'princess' or something else and write things like 'When will the Fifth Hokage abdicate?' or 'When will Hatake Kakashi take over as Hokage?' They even write these things into the letters and send them to the Hokage's office.

"You don't take me seriously at all! If you don't step down and let others take over, Kakashi, do you really want me to be roasted on the fire?"

"..."

Kakashi was speechless.

This situation is really... I guess Lady Tsunade must be under a lot of psychological pressure sitting in this seat!

Shizune on the side couldn't help laughing and said, "Indeed, it seems that everyone is looking forward to Kakashi taking office as soon as possible.

"But that's fine too, I can retire with Lady Tsunade."

"Shizune!" Tsunade frowned and glared.

Holding Tuntun tightly in her arms, Jingyin shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"...Besides, she is also looking forward to you becoming Hokage. She should have told you that, right?"

"'she'?"

"Tsunade-sama!"

Jingyin's face changed and she quickly supported herself with her elbow.

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Tsunade coughed dryly.

"Oh, by the way, there is another thing. It was a message that came a few days ago. It was a letter delivered by the Elder Master of Kirigakure in the Land of Water. It was about the marriage between Konoha and Kirigakure."

"The marriage between Konoha and Kirigakure? But what does this have to do with me..."

"Because the one to be married is you, Kakashi."

Tsunade shrugged and smiled faintly, "Besides, the other party just arrived today."

"Knock knock—"

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door behind me.

"Hokage-sama, can I come in?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Kakashi's heart skipped a beat and he looked back.

The door was slightly ajar, and a pair of bright eyes peered in.

Terumi Mei!

......

Deer Horn Hot Springs.

The hot springs in Konoha are divided into male and female baths.

But not today.

The Hokage used his personal connections to book a whole day's venue. This had never happened before.

"It would be really nice to take a bath in a hot spring after the war, right? Tsk, it's a pity that Kirigakure doesn't have the facilities for that."

Given the geographical features of that place, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of gloomy and damp customs and habits there are. It is indeed difficult to find things like hot springs or bathing places.

A figure emerged from the fog.

He casually tore off his robe and lifted his legs to test the water temperature before slowly stepping into the pool.

The water in the pool only covered her knees and was still a little uncomfortable. However, considering the gazes in front of her, Mei Terumi lowered her back and sat down without much hesitation.

Accompanied by a long and seductive hum, one can imagine how comfortable she was feeling from being scalded by the pool.

"No wonder she's obsessed with hot springs, really..."

A lazy voice floated over.

"she?"

"Ah! Nothing."

'Wow—'

"You should have no objection to the marriage, right?"

Kakashi said solemnly: "But aren't you the Mizukage?"

"Mizukage, should you live out your life alone?" Mei Terumi raised her eyebrows in surprise, not understanding the logic of this statement for a moment.

"Besides, this is what Elder Yuanshi wanted. I cannot refuse his kindness in raising me."

Should this be considered 'forced'?

Kakashi shook his head helplessly: "No, I mean, as a Mizukage, it's not easy to leave the village under normal circumstances, right? Not to mention as a relative by marriage."

Logically speaking, as a symbol of the village's leadership, she would probably not be able to get married...

It really is a script that is destined to end in loneliness.

"The affairs of Kirigakure are currently being handled by the Yuanshi Elders, so I don't need to worry about it."

Mei Terumi said this casually, then suddenly glanced at him, stood up, pushed aside the water and slowly walked towards him.

"Besides, the next Mizukage has already been chosen, so it doesn't matter if I really leave Kirigakure. I really don't want to stay in this position, it's too tiring."

The next Mizukage candidate...

Hearing this, Kakashi looked strange.

He knew that both Kumogakure and Iwagakure had exchanged positions of Kage, but Mei Terumi was only twenty years old as the Mizukage and was far from being old enough.

Of course, if we count by 'length of service', it has been at least six or seven years. If you think about it carefully, it is more reasonable than Lady Tsunade.

"Or is it you who are actually unhappy?"

Looking at the figure in front of him, Kakashi shook his head stiffly: "No, that's not the case."

Mei Terumi crossed her arms and looked at him with a faint smile, but she did not hide her lower body at all, as if she was crossing her arms just to maintain her posture rather than to cover up.

The water in the pool barely reached above the knees, and a pair of well-proportioned thighs were tightly gathered together, reflecting the bright water light.

With her slender figure, narrow waist and abdomen, thin shoulders and steep neck, apart from her breasts, her legs and thighs only appear plump.

"Wait! What are you doing......"

Seeing her sink down suddenly, Kakashi's expression changed.

But he stopped halfway.

Mei Terumi put her hands on his shoulders, and her elastic chest fell down slowly, shaking with crystal water droplets, hanging on the edge of being taken off.

He bent his knees and leaned forward in a half-squatting posture, but he did not completely sink into the water. Instead, he took advantage of the gap and occasionally touched the water surface.

It is hard to say whether it was intentional or he just couldn't bear to be scalded by the water.

"Are you scared already? Tsk! What will we do if that day really comes?"

Mei Terumi said unhappily, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything serious...just be quiet!"
