Chapter 277 Founding Ceremony, Head of State!

The next day, early morning.

As soon as the sun rose, Konoha became lively.

Envoys from various ninja villages, foreign tourists, including residents of their own villages...

Countless people rushed towards the center of Konoha like a river converging.

However, many people had already grabbed the front row seats last night.

As soon as daybreak came, the road to the Hokage Building was completely blocked.

Only the ninjas quickly shuttled across the rooftops, came to the office, and began to maintain order on the streets.

The envoys from the four major ninja villages, including the captured Raikage, arrived early at the viewing area specially set up by Asuma to watch the ceremony.

The Raikage looked at the Hokage Building in front of him and cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

If he can't beat him, he can only obey Konoha's orders so that he can leave Konoha smoothly.

In a sense, he is the representative of other major ninja villages.

If he behaved in a rude manner, it would be magnified at this moment.

The other ninja villages all had their own ulterior motives. They wanted to see what kind of example Haneda, the incoming head of state, would set.

Haneda's actions have broken the one country, one village system that has lasted for more than 50 years in the ninja world.

Perhaps this will usher in a new era just like the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Especially Sand Village and Kirigakure.

They talked in low voices, and their words contained a lot of dissatisfaction towards the daimyo.

Sometimes he would point at the Hokage Building and make fair comments about the Fifth Hokage.

At eight o'clock, one hour before the departure ceremony began, Tendo Pain came with Konan.

Xiaonan looked at the bustling crowd, at the people who admired the Fifth Generation infinitely, and said with emotion:

"Konoha is much more lively than Amegakure, and the people here worship you and me just like Amegakure."

Tiandao Pain said calmly: "Far from it, Haneda has brought a better life to the people."

"I wandered around Konoha for a long time yesterday."

"The public security here is better than that of Yuyin, and people's desire for goodness and peace is stronger."

"I was at night, late at night, when the street lights were on, in the izakaya, which is the most prone to trouble, and no one dared to cause trouble."

"Even in remote places, there are cameras and ninjas patrolling."

"The orphans adopted by the orphanage all receive a lot of subsidies, and they live better than we did back then."

"There will be fresh milk and bread, and Konoha will also arrange for them to attend school free of charge and teach them."

Speaking of the past, Konan understood how much Nagato felt about everything going on in Konoha.

At that time, they had no fresh milk or bread.

They could only survive by stealing, robbing, and working hard until Jiraiya came.

After we were seated, waiters brought us snacks and drinks.

Xiaonan thanked him and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building involuntarily.

She smiled and said, "Isn't it possible that Haneda is actively preparing for the ceremony now?"

"Show up in a perfect manner and accept everyone's praise and cheers."

Tendo Pain said indifferently: "Only God can bring all this. He will rule Konoha as God."

"The gods are diligent and work diligently in handling the affairs of the village and the country."

"Just like the rising sun, it rises and sets regularly, shining on the world during the day."

…………

Under the expectation of the messengers watching the ceremony, the ninjas maintaining order, and many people, Naruto made an urging voice.

"Uncle Haneda! Don't sleep in! It's already past eight and a half minutes!!"

Along with the urging voice, there was also a rapid knock on the door.

The whole house echoed with the sound of Naruto and knocking on the door.

Haneda yawned and secretly complained about Kakashi suddenly looking for him to drink late last night.

He opened the curtains to let the sunlight filter in and began to get dressed, donning his Hokage robes.

When he opened the door, Naruto's speechless face met him.

"Eight minutes overtime. You are indeed the laziest Hokage as Uncle Kakashi called you."

"My father always gets up very early to go to the office to handle affairs, and he also takes time every day to teach others Flying Thunder God and Sealing Techniques."

Haneda knew exactly who this "others" was referring to.

He silently complained about Kakashi, saying something about the previous Hokage, which made him, the current Hokage, extremely embarrassed.

Especially the fourth generation who is too perfect.

"Mr. Haneda, I've already bought breakfast. There are too few breakfast shops open this morning, so just make do with what you have."

Bai brought the breakfast over, and Naruto finally stopped chattering.

Haneda was too lazy to enjoy a moment of peace.

We had just finished breakfast and it was 8:20 when Shikaku came to urge us personally.

He walked in just in time to see Haneda wiping his mouth after breakfast, and couldn't help but complain:

"Hokage-sama, why are you just finishing breakfast now? The messengers from the various villages and the people of Konoha are all expecting you to come over."

"Right away, right away. Isn't there still forty minutes?"

Upon hearing this, Shikaku became furious:

"Hokage-sama! This isn't normal. Normally you'd be late and leave early."

"We have to be very careful now! We have to be extremely prepared! We can't afford to make any mistakes!"

Haneda spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I have Flying Thunder God. I can reach the scene in an instant. Don't panic."

Seeing that Shikaku was getting even more angry and his face was almost red, Haneda had no choice but to give a serious order:

"Shikaku, arrange a few flying ninjas, put up some festive decorations, and fly into the sky."

"Remember to bring my Flying Thunder God-marked kunai. The moment the kunai hits the ground, I will teleport to the ground."

"How about it, handsome, right?"

Shikaku also analyzed seriously: "It is indeed very handsome. It shows the demeanor of a great country while allowing you to be lazy for a while."

After saying that, Shikaku glanced at the Hokage, sighed, and took his men to make arrangements immediately.

While there was still some time to relax, Haneda flew to Kakashi's house as the Thunder God.

When he heard faint breathing, he indeed saw Kakashi sleeping in with an eye mask on!

Why is it that Naruto urges me to get up in the morning, while you, the culprit who made me stay up late, are still sleeping in?

Haneda pulled open the curtains and forcibly removed Kakashi's eye mask.

"What are you doing~ Ouch~"

Kakashi looked at Haneda's smile and frowned.

He was already awake when Haneda arrived.

I thought Haneda would leave, but he turned out to be a bad person and woke him up in the process!

Haneda said without blushing or beating his heart:

"Shikaku asked me to come and rush you! Kakashi!"

"As an elder and leader of the Anbu and Root, it's ok for you not to do your job normally, but now is a special period!"

"As the second most handsome person in Konoha, can you please come out and show your face to everyone? Improve other countries' impression of our Konoha!"

？ ！！

When Kakashi heard Shikaku, he immediately became serious:

"Haneda, don't disturb me while I'm washing up!"

"Also, when you leave, remember to bring me some breakfast. Thank you."

"You are quite polite."

Haneda left after saying this, used Flying Thunder God and left. When he came back, he was holding a box of breakfast in his hand.

…………

Nearing nine o'clock, the sun rose completely, and the warm sunlight shone on people's faces, igniting their enthusiasm.

As the second hand of the clock ticked, the enthusiasm grew.

A special signal was given, and the band in front of the Hokage Building began to play complicated music.

Amid the festive yet majestic music, a line of large birds as colorful as ink flew across the sky.

A salute sounded at this moment, and the ninja on the big bird threw down a kunai, which fell under the puzzled gazes of tens of thousands of people.

The moment he landed, Haneda appeared, leaving only a handsome back to the crowd.

The Hokage robe with the Fifth Hokage's goal aspirations fluttered in the wind. Haneda turned around amid cheers and looked at the crowd, which was completely boiling.

Haneda waited for a long time, until after four or five minutes, the crowd's applause and cheers gradually weakened.

He used ninjutsu to amplify his voice:

"I, Uchiha Haneda, declare that the People's Republic of the Will of Fire is officially established, and I will serve as the first head of state!"

"The status of the Fifth Hokage will also be retained!"

"From today on, this country no longer needs a daimyo, but a head of state who can lead the people to happiness!"

"I hereby promise that I will develop ninjas and chakra technology for the betterment of people's lives."

“I will build a transportation system that will reach all parts of the country and connect all parts of the country.”

"I will rationally mobilize all the country's resources to eliminate hunger and poverty and improve the lives of the people."

"I will provide fresh milk and bread for every citizen."

"Including people in poor mountainous areas and remote areas."

"Including orphans, people with disabilities, and all vulnerable groups!"

“This is the first five-year plan, a plan to eliminate hunger.”

“In the second five-year plan, I will eliminate poverty and improve people’s lives.”

"Let every household have access to refrigerators, popular electrical appliances, computers and current high-tech industrial products."

"We will also vigorously build ninja schools and hospitals, popularize education and medical care, integrate ninjas into everyone's lives, and make ninjutsu no longer just a tool for killing people."

Haneda extended his right hand and greeted everyone:

"Long live the People's Republic of the Will of Fire!!!"
