Now that the news of the expansion of the Konoha Military Police Force has been posted, even the normal operation of the D-level tasks in the village has been affected, and the entire Konoha Military Police Force is surrounded by crowds.
For the unruly people in the village who have no ninjas at home, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. The current Konoha Military Police Force makes them so scared; what will happen after the expansion in the future?
On the other hand, the news that the Daimyo approved Kuragami Uchiha to become the Fifth Hokage has also been passed back to the village.
Although the official documents will not arrive in the village for a few days, the fifth statue on the Hokage Rock has already started.
The ninjas in the village all know that they are about to enter the era of the Fifth Hokage.
In this period of transition between the old and the new, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his office in advance and handed the Scroll of Seals that only the successive Hokage could see to Kuragami Uchiha.
At present, Kuragami Uchiha did not have the time to carefully observe the Scroll of Seals, but Saito Uchiha and others had already moved into the Hokage building in advance to help Kuragami Uchiha arrange his future office space.
"Hideaki! Be careful; this calligraphy must be hung straight! This is the favorite calligraphy of the Fifth Hokage."
Saito Uchiha directed Hideaki Sakurai and Yoki Fujiwara to carefully hang the large calligraphy 'Righteous Governance and Harmony' from Kuragami's office back in the Konoha Military Police Force to the wall of the Hokage's office and the calligraphy was facing the portraits of the successive Hokage hanging in the office.
After the calligraphy was hung, two more people came in from the back, carrying the sword rack from Kuragami Uchiha's original office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kuragami Uchiha also came to the office together at this time.
After seeing the sword rack, Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette and asked in confusion: "Kuragami, are you going to put a sword in the Hokage's office? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Nothing's wrong here."
Kuragami Uchiha said with a smile. After the person carrying the sword rack placed it under the calligraphy, Kuragami Uchiha also stepped forward and put the Swift Thunder hanging on his waist.
"After all, the Hokage represents the highest combat power of the village. Putting the sword here also means that I can rush to the battlefield at any time. In this way, the ninjas from the village who were on duty will feel more at ease when they are doing their duties because they will know that I will always be there to support them."
"Okay..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled awkwardly, did not mention it again, and quickly changed the subject: "Kuragami, your Hokage Robe is already in production, and the inauguration ceremony the day after tomorrow should be held normally."
"Is that so? I can hardly wait." Uchiha Kuragami looked out the window and sighed at the Hokage Rock that was being carved.
… … ...
At the same time, in the Konoha Military Police Force, Kakashi, who had officially taken office as the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, was also arranging work in full swing.
After spending a day completing the induction training of new members, Kakashi also summoned all the team leaders to the conference room.
"Everyone, our captain will officially take office as the Fifth Hokage of the village in two days."
Kakashi said on the podium in the conference room: "But recently, I have heard some discordant voices in the village."
"Damn it! Those guys dared to disrespect the Fifth Hokage!"
Masashi Watanabe, who was promoted to team leader because of his outstanding ability, stood up and said: "It seems that we must teach them a lesson!"
"That's right! That's right!"
The crowd in the audience was immediately excited. It was Kuragami who made them have their current life. Now that Kuragami is about to take office as the Fifth Hokage, their future life will become better and better.
How can they allow someone to disrespect Uchiha Kuragami!
"Everyone, please be calm!" Kakashi waved his hand to calm the emotions on the scene.
"The Fifth Hokage is about to take office. The most important thing now is to ensure that the inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage is held smoothly."
Kakashi said: "So, I don't want to hear discordant voices at the inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.
… … ...
As the letter from the Daimyo arrived in the village, the Hokage Robe was officially completed. Soon, the day arrived for the official Hokage inauguration ceremony.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the warm winter sun completely dispelled the cold of the night. The entire Hokage building was decorated with lights and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere.
Kuragami Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi climbed onto the large terrace of the Hokage building together, and the ninjas who had been waiting here below, after seeing Kuragami Uchiha wearing the Fifth Hokage's Robe, immediately gave a warm cheer.
The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the Hokage's bamboo hat and solemnly handed it to Kuragami Uchiha.
After Kuragami Uchiha put it on his head, the cheers from the audience suddenly became louder.
Kuragami Uchiha swept the crowd below the stage, and everyone who supported him was clapping hard below.
Although the number of people who came to his inauguration ceremony this time did not seem to be as many as the last time for the Fourth Hokage, the noise made by everyone was not inferior to the last time.
In the crowd, Kakashi clapped hard and smiled at Kuragami Uchiha.
After the cheers from the audience subsided a little, Kuragami Uchiha slowly spoke: "Everyone, thank you for coming to witness this moment."
Kuragami Uchiha's voice was transmitted to everyone in the audience with the fluctuation of chakra: "Our village has been around for fifty-six years since the First Hokage and Madara-sama swore an oath by the Naka River. It is the hard work of the four previous Hokage that has made the village what it is today. Now, I am fortunate to take over this heavy responsibility. I can be where I am today, all thanks to your support and love."
"Here, in the name of the Fifth Hokage, I swear to the Will of Fire. "
Kuragami Uchiha raised his right hand: "In the future, I will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the Hokage, protect every companion in the village, and lead the village to a better future! Let the Hidden Leaf Village be great again!"
"Fifth Hokage! Kuragami Uchiha!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Kuragami Uchiha's voice fell, the fireworks jutsu developed by several Uchiha elders overnight exploded in the sky above the Hokage building.
