After becoming Hokage, Kageyama Kogetsu was busier than before, but it didn't matter. There were ways and means to handle work.
For less important official duties, Kageyama Kogetsu would pass them on to the two elders to handle or let the six major departments decide for themselves. Only the most important official duties would he handle personally.
For the mid-level official duties, Kageyama Kogetsu would leave them to his shadow clones to handle, one after another, in shifts.
His main body would sit or lie on the sofa in the reception area, drinking tea, reading the newspaper, reading a book, sleeping, or eating.
Half a month later, Kageyama Kogetsu had completely adapted to the work rhythm of the Hokage and secretly came to the Otsutsuki clan's palace on the moon.
This time, Kageyama Kogetsu did not arrive at mealtime, but at the time just before Nohara Rin went to sleep, and he gave a fierce output.
In the spacious and luxurious bedroom, Kageyama Kogetsu leaned against the head of the bed, puffing out clouds of smoke. On the bedside table were red wine and an ashtray. His left arm was around the flushed Nohara Rin.
"By the way, Rin, I have good news for you. I've become the Sixth Hokage."
Nohara Rin's eyes lit up, her face wreathed in smiles, her eyes filled with admiration. "That's amazing! Congratulations."
"Congratulations to you too," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a chuckle.
"What are you congratulating me for?" Nohara Rin's expression was one of confusion.
"I think you can return to Konoha ahead of schedule, but your identity cannot be exposed yet. You'll need to live wearing a special mask."
"I'm planning to transfer you and Toneri to Root. You'll do clerical work, and Toneri will receive regular ninja training."
"Root is subordinate to the Anbu, the Anbu within the Anbu, directly under the Hokage's command."
"Really?"
The joy in Nohara Rin's heart erupted like a volcano. A burst of strength came from her delicate and weak body. She sat up straight, completely disregarding the spring scenery revealed before her.
"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"
"But you can't expose your identity. You have to resist the urge to reveal yourself," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a chuckle.
"Don't worry. I'll prioritize the overall situation," Nohara Rin said with a solemn expression.
"I believe you. But how are you going to thank me?" Kageyama Kogetsu said with a wicked smile.
Nohara Rin gave Kageyama Kogetsu a shy and charming eye roll, tossed her hair, and, like a beautiful snake, slipped under the covers...
The next day, at the Konoha Root base.
Although Root had been merged into the Anbu, its office location had not been merged and was still at the Root base.
In the slightly dim hall of the Root base, three figures were kneeling on one knee before Kageyama Kogetsu.
These three were Aburame Torune, Aburame Torune, and Yamanaka Fu, the three strongest in the Root base now, and also the captain and vice-captain of Root.
"Greetings, Lord Hokage."
Kageyama Kogetsu stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, "Rise."
"From today on, Root is also the fifth squad of the Anbu. The rules of Root are abolished, and everything will follow the rules of the Anbu."
"However, you will be under my direct command, not the command of the Anbu Commander. In other words, you are the enhanced guard team."
"Yes, Lord Hokage," the three of them said in unison.
"These two will join Root. The female will do clerical work. She can do whatever she wants in her spare time. You don't need to bother."
"The male will receive standard Anbu ninja training. After he qualifies, he will form a three-man team with Torune and Fu."
"The two of them will have the same living standards as you."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Kageyama Kogetsu turned and smiled, then left.
The masked Nohara Rin and Toneri nodded slightly, then followed Aburame Torune and the others to go through the procedures.
...
A year passed in a flash. The time came to Konoha 62, and this year, Neji graduated from the Ninja Academy.
Neji could have applied for early graduation long ago, but Kageyama Kogetsu had been holding him back, letting him finish school normally.
The matter of the ninja academy graduates' team assignments required the Hokage's approval. Kageyama Kogetsu did not make any changes and approved the team assignment plan submitted by the Ministry of Education.
After the team assignment plan came down, Team Guy gathered at Training Ground 7.
Guy was different from Kakashi. He had no intention of being late. He was already training at the training ground before his three students arrived.
Neji, Lee, and Tenten arrived one after another. They were dumbfounded to see Guy running in circles on his hands at the training ground, kicking up clouds of dust...
"Yo, my dear students have arrived."
"Wait a moment. I still have three laps to complete my goal."
Guy supported himself on his left hand, gave a thumbs up with his right, and grinned, his teeth sparkling white.
Neji, having been with Kageyama Kogetsu and having met Guy before, was able to remain calm.
Lee had already been guided by Guy, and his way of thinking was different from a normal ninja's. He thought it was very cool.
Only Tenten held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little speechless.
Three laps were quickly completed for Guy.
Guy ran to the three of them, flipped himself upright, placed his hands on his hips, and said with a broad smile, "Dear students, now for self-introductions."
Neji, Tenten, and Lee introduced themselves one by one.
After listening, Guy stroked his chin, a thoughtful look on his face...
"Is something wrong, Guy-sensei?" Lee, dressed in the same tight-fitting suit, asked curiously.
"You and Neji are both good at taijutsu, so it's very suitable for you to be with me."
"I'm thinking about how to teach Tenten..."
Tenten's grades in all subjects at the Ninja Academy were good, but she didn't have a particular area of expertise.
"Don't worry, Guy-sensei. Lord Hokage has his own arrangements," Neji said with a smile.
The three of them were very shocked to hear this, especially Tenten. She had never thought that she would be noticed by Lord Hokage...
"Oh? What instructions does Lord Hokage have?" Guy's eyes lit up, quite curious.
Neji took a letter from his pocket and handed it out. Tenten took it, a little dazed.
"Lord Hokage saw that Tenten has a great talent for summoning jutsu, so he recommended that she become Elder Homura's disciple."
"Elder Homura is skilled in space-time summoning jutsu, which is similar to summoning jutsu."
"Tenten, take this letter of recommendation to see Elder Homura. He will surely accept you."
"Guy-sensei, you can just teach Tenten conventional taijutsu."
Although he didn't know why his godfather valued Tenten so much, Neji still dutifully conveyed Kageyama Kogetsu's meaning.
The reason Kageyama Kogetsu did this was not out of any bad intentions, but simply because he had a good impression of Tenten.
Tenten's attire gave Kageyama Kogetsu a sense of familiarity, so he was willing to be a benefactor for once.
Mitokado Homura's space-time summoning jutsu was not something that could be countered by conventional wind-style jutsu. It was an advanced version of the scroll ninja tool summoning jutsu.
Lee looked at Tenten with envy...
This is too lucky! Not only was she noticed by Lord Hokage, but he also recommended her to an elder. It's not an exaggeration to say that she has soared to the sky in one step!
I don't have such luck. I must train even harder with Guy-sensei!
"I understand."
"Tenten, you have to work hard. Don't let Lord Hokage's expectations down," Guy said with a broad smile, patting Tenten's shoulder in encouragement.
Tenten, who had been dazed by the pie that had fallen from the sky, came to her senses and said with a full and serious expression, "I will definitely not let Lord Hokage's expectations down!"
"I won't let Guy-sensei's expectations down either. No matter how hard the training is, I will persevere!"
Guy laughed at the sky, "Hahaha, good! This is the hot blood of youth!"
"To celebrate the formation of Team Guy and to celebrate Tenten's good fortune, let's first run three hundred laps around the training ground as a warm-up."
"Yes, Guy-sensei!" Lee held up his right fist, his expression resolute, his eyes as if about to burst with the fire of hot blood.
Neji's expression was flat. Three hundred laps was nothing.
Although the little rich girl Tenten was a little speechless about the method of celebration, she did not complain at all. On the contrary, her fighting spirit was high.
To become a strong individual like Lady Tsunade, it starts today!
