Chapter 377 Funeral and Subsequent Matters

Early morning a few days later.

It had already entered autumn in Konoha. It rained a little last night, leaving a slight chill in the air.

The dark clouds in the sky above Konoha also made people feel depressed.

Zhixiang got up from the bed, put on a solemn black dress, and walked out.

This day is the day when the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and all the ninjas who died in the chaos a few days ago were buried.

Walking out the door, Zhixiang saw many people wearing black clothes like him, all of whom walked silently towards the location of the Konoha Memorial Monument.

On the way, Zhixiang met Ino and Hinata waiting on the roadside. The three of them looked at each other and moved forward in silence.

All the way to the cemetery, Zhixiang watched one coffin after another being carried to the cemetery, and the one at the front was the coffin of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Next to the coffin of the Third Hokage were Tsunade and Naruto, who were also dressed in black. Behind Tsunade and Naruto were Asuma and other relatives of the Sarutobi clan.

Naruto followed the Third Hokage's coffin closely, crying profusely.

After all the coffins were buried, Zhixiang glanced at Tsunade secretly and turned to leave.

After all the people in front of the cemetery left, Tsunade looked at the photo on her teacher's tombstone and sighed quietly.

Taking out a bottle of sake from her arms, Tsunade took a sip, fell in front of the grave of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said faintly:

"Teacher, do you regret not killing Orochimaru now?"

"But don't worry, I will clean up the door for you when the time comes."

"You spent your whole life working for the village of Konoha, and finally died on the battlefield protecting Konoha. This is the end of your life."

"However, let's agree first. I will only spend three hours a day dealing with government affairs and only work five days a week. When Konoha collapses, you can't blame me."

Although Tsunade was extremely reluctant to serve as the fifth Hokage of Konoha, she also knew that Konoha, which had just experienced turmoil, urgently needed someone to stand up and take on important responsibilities and comfort people.

With Jiraiya disappearing, she, Tsunade, could only reluctantly agree.

However, Tsunade, who has seen a wider landscape, has the same goal as her ambition to gain immortal power.

She would never give up her daily practice of immortality no matter what.

And spending three hours a day dealing with government affairs was her last concession.

Of course, she could also ask Terumi Mei, the fifth generation Mizukage, for advice.

After talking a lot, Tsunade turned and left.

Konoha had just settled down, and there were still many things she needed to deal with.

Not long after Tsunade left, Jiraiya's figure appeared in front of the tombstone.

Seeing the photo of the Third Hokage on the tombstone, Jiraiya sighed.

"Sorry, old man, I'm late."

the following few days.

Amid the expectations of all Konoha people, Tsunade officially took over the position of Hokage and became the fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Then, the unparalleled fighting power that Tsunade showed in the past few days has spread throughout the Konoha Village under the promotion of caring people.

Suddenly, Tsunade's prestige in Konoha reached an unprecedented level.

When Tsunade just ascended to the position of Hokage, the first thing she did was to form a team of Hokage assistants to help her share the government affairs. This was a method she asked from Terumi Mei.

In exchange, she will be solely responsible for Lin Yuri's subsequent treatment.

Lin Yuri played a great role in the turmoil in Konoha, so Tsunade agreed very readily.

Tsunade's method of forming an assistant team is also very simple, that is, each ninja clan recommends a candidate, which can not only achieve the effect of mutual checks and balances, but also quickly allow these people to take office smoothly.

Of course, as long as Tsunade continues to maintain the crushing effect on other people in Konoha Village in terms of strength, it is basically impossible to have any major problems.

Tsunade's suggestion quickly received responses from various major clans, who recommended the most suitable candidates within their clans to join the assistant team.

These ninjas will not let go of this opportunity to benefit their own ninjas.

Afterwards, Tsunade and the Suna Ninja Village, represented by Hayakura, and the Kiri Ninja Village, represented by Lin Yuri, formally signed an alliance.

From now on, the three ninja villages will be allies of each other, an offensive and defensive alliance.

After that, the official Chunin Selection Examination that had been delayed was held again.

This time, because Xiao Li and Shiro were injured in the battle a few days ago, the ideal opponent became Gaara of Sand Ninja Village.

"Wait a minute, do you want me to beat up Gaara or Gaara?"

On the stand, Shixiang watched the battle between Shino and Shikamaru below, and smiled casually at Temari beside him.

Ye Cang had already returned to Fire Source City to pack his things and prepare to return to Sand Ninja Village.

The ambition of having nothing to do has returned to the life of a genin.

At the same time, because only Shino and Shikamaru, and Shiki and Gaara were left in this official competition, Konoha did not announce any news to the outside world. Even Tsunade was not present, only a group of contestants and A few insiders were present.

So in the entire stand, there were only four people, Shishi, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and a few mentor jounin.

Temari glanced at Zhixiang and sneered:

"I know you are stronger than me, but compared to Gaara, you are still far behind."

"What you should be thinking about now is how to surrender."

Temari has always been very confident about Gaara's strength.

Zhixiang shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"When the time comes, you will know what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

"Hey, stop bragging." Temari pouted.

Hearing this, Zhixiang took out a colorful chili from his arms and played with it in his hand.

It felt pretty good to see this little thing sting someone.

Temari was shocked when she saw Zhi Xiang's move and quickly stayed away from him.

She was tortured so much by the other party's bug last time.

When the instructors not far away, such as Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma, saw this, their mouths twitched and they felt a little guilty.

They never wanted to experience the kind of encounter they had last time at the Central Tower.

Not long after, Shikamaru was defeated by Shino.

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how smart Shikamaru is, it is impossible to imagine that he can survive until now because Shino deliberately let go.

"It's our turn."

Gaara glanced at Shishi and formed a seal with one hand.

The next second, countless wind and sand surrounded him, and when the wind and sand dissipated, he had already appeared on the duel field.

"I can do it too." Zhixiang curled his lips and formed a seal with one hand.

The next second, countless insect swarms surrounded him, and when the insect swarms dissipated, he had already appeared opposite Gaara.
