Chapter 29
You've got the guts to trick me into taking medicine, but you're not capable of
Of course, all of this is not just because of what happened last month.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's biggest concern was Lin Fan.
"How about this, let Tsunade take on the Hokage position for now?"
Giving the Hokage position to Tsunade is like handing it over to one of their own, and since Tsunade and Lin Fan have a good relationship, Lin Fan will surely agree.
"Why should I?!"
I'm so angry! I killed him! I came up with the idea! I was the one who impersonated Kakashi! Why won't you hand over my Hokage position to me?!
I am the Hokage!
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
This kid didn't agree? Did I misunderstand their relationship?
"Wait a minute." Lin Fan suddenly thought of a question and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Speaking of which, does being Hokage mean sitting in an office all day?"
"...That's how it is." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his eyes showing a hint of confusion, as if to say, "Don't you see me in the office every day? Why are you asking such a question?"
"Oh, then you can be the secretary. From now on, you'll listen to me, and I won't listen to you. We'll each do our own thing, but we'll still be good partners." Lin Fan patted Tsunade's shoulder and smiled.
At this point, Tsunade had reverted to her mature, older sister mode.
Countless 'wells' appeared above her head.
What do you mean? What do you mean I have to listen to you and you don't listen to me? You're the Hokage, and I'm the Hokage!
Lin Fan, I am the Hokage!
"Do you think this is appropriate?" Tsunade said speechlessly, "You're going to leave all the dirty and tiring work to me while you go enjoy yourself, right?"
"So what do you want? I've already given you the most important position of Hokage, you should be grateful!" Lin Fan revealed a capitalist's expression.
I feel for you—
Tsunade grumbled and cursed.
"Hey, how can you be so rude? Do you believe you'll never get married?!"
"I'm marrying you! You think you can escape?"
"Damn it! Is this how you treat your benefactor? You repay kindness with enmity!"
"you--"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, watching the two arguing behind his desk: "..."
Damn it, I'm the Hokage, can't you guys give me some face?
......
The matter has been temporarily settled, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
For example, this matter will have to wait until after the New Year, because the village needs to be stable during the New Year, which is probably around the time the next semester starts.
On the training field, Lin Fan stood there with his hands behind his back.
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I still came."
"It's no use you coming." Lin Fan turned around helplessly. Behind him stood Kakashi, who had transformed into a white-haired loli. He said, "That medicine was an experimental product. I'm afraid I can't help you with it."
Kakashi: "*****, give me back my male body!!"
Kakashi chased, Lin Fan ran.
Lin Fan was chased by Kakashi for several blocks. After turning a corner, Lin Fan disappeared.
"Where is he?!" Kakashi stomped his foot. "You bastard, you're so capable of tricking me into taking my medicine, but you're not capable of seeing me?!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers all turned to look.
The children's pupils contracted; this child was only a few years old, and was already taking medicine...
"Excuse me, do you need any help?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Kakashi turned around.
Then, the kind-hearted Uchiha Obito scratched his head, his face flushed an unnatural red in the snowy weather, and said in a slightly shy tone, "My name is Uchiha Obito, and I'm a student at the Ninja Academy. You look a lot like one of my classmates, so I thought you were him, but now that I see you, you don't look like that idiot at all."
Kakashi's voice is now completely female, and his appearance is also female.
Who are you calling an idiot?
Kakashi clenched his fist.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
"My name is Keiko Hatake, and I'm pursuing a despicable, perverted drug-feeding man named Lin Fan."
The Japanese words for "scene" and "card" sound similar.
"Lin Fan?" Uchiha Obito was initially pleased to hear the name.
Upon hearing that the target was Lin Fan, Obito's lips twitched.
What a joke! How could he possibly beat Lin Fan? That would be the death of him!
"But Keiko, why did you call Lin Fan a perverted drug-feeding man? Did he feed you some kind of drug?"
Kakashi: "..."
Okay, I've dug myself a hole.
......
Lin Fan, who had evaded Kakashi, witnessed Kakashi and Obito's encounter.
"The gears of fate are truly turning," Lin Fan remarked, then turned and said, "Goodbye!"
Just kidding, this drug cost him 13 points to make one pill, and making another male hormone capsule is probably a low-probability event. If it doesn't work, he'll have to gamble again... Where would he get so many evolution points to gamble!
......
Meanwhile, Sakumo Hatake had already received official notification from the Hokage.
"...Congratulations, Captain. The mission is complete. Even though this will be recorded as a failure, the losses will not need to be compensated, and everything has been recovered." The ANBU member who delivered the message handed the scroll and the documents for restoring his original position to Hatake Sakumo.
Sakumo Hatake looked at the documents in his hand, filled with disbelief.
Just a few days ago, he was still the village sinner despised by everyone.
A few days later, he actually returned to being the head of the Anbu, Konoha's White Fang.
"Kama." Hatake Sakumo called out to the ANBU member.
The ANBU member named Kama stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Sakumo Hatake remained silent for a long while before speaking.
"I'll keep this scroll, but please return this document to the Hokage."
The sickle was shocked.
"Captain...you wouldn't..." He had a vague suspicion, but didn't want to believe it.
Hatake Sakumo nodded.
"Yes, I've come to terms with reality and no longer wish to serve in the Anbu... So, please convey my message to the Hokage. I'm truly embarrassed to speak to him personally. Thank you!"
Sakumo Hatake bowed to the sickle.
Kama returned to Hatake Sakumo somewhat flustered and helped him up.
"Captain, don't say that. In our hearts, you are still the best captain! It's all that Chunin's fault. As a ninja, he should have been prepared long ago, but he asked you for help when you were in the most critical moment. After we saved him, he turned around and blamed us."
"Everyone has the will to survive." Hatake Sakumo shook his head. "You can't blame him. Ultimately, whether to save him or not was my choice. My knife is no longer sharp."
At this point, Sakumo Hatake's voice was low and somber:
"The Hokage doesn't need a sword that's no longer sharp."
"I should pay the price for this, and this is the best option."
......
Lian left in a low voice, carrying the documents, and never returned.
Hatake Sakumo knew that he had officially resigned as the head of the Anbu and was no longer the Konoha White Fang who participated in World War II and won the Hokage robe-style sash representing the "highest honor".
Kakashi returned, accompanied by a "friend".
"Kaka..."
Kakashi: "!!!"
Kakashi lunged forward and covered Sakumo Hatake's mouth.
"He is my cousin, Hatake Sakumo, also known as the White Fang of Konoha in the village."
"Uncle, I am Keiko, and this is Uchiha Obito."
"Hello, Uncle!" Obito greeted Sakumo Hatake very politely, and when he looked around, he actually felt a little envious.
Kakashi's life is so good; he has such a big house and yard, and a famous ninja father.
While Obito wasn't paying attention, Kakashi pulled Sakumo Hatake towards a corner.
