....

Ninja world, Konoha,

"Yondaime-sama!"

After passing the long corridors and carpets, Nara Suzan wore the cape of the fourth generation and walked into the elevator with a calm expression.

The guards on the side greeted Nara Dan in unison,

Nara Dan nodded slightly towards them and disappeared through the elevator door.

Nara Suan looked at the reflective metal surface in the elevator, the tough face carved by a knife and axe, and was a little distracted for a moment.

'Another day to become the fourth generation...'

‘Nara Dan’ or pharmacist Nonoyu shook his head and put away distracting thoughts as much as possible.

It has been more than a year since she played the role of Nara Dan, and she has become accustomed to such days.

Becoming a Hokage will bring you unlimited natural beauty. Every move you make will attract attention and be respected by others.

What's more, for a Hokage as accomplished and powerful as Nara Dan,

In short, Yakushi Nonoyu really experienced the taste of power during this year. One move can determine the life or death of countless people.

This is something that Danzo could never ask for during his lifetime.

As for the current Yakushi Nonou, she is almost the same as the real Hokage.

But despite this, Yakushi Nonoyu still hopes to end such days and return to her own identity.

Although relying on the acting skills and disguise of the "Walking Miko", Yakushi Noonoyu learned Nara Dan with almost 10% success.

But what’s fake is still fake after all,

Many high-level officials in Konoha and people close to Nara Sudan had actually noticed something was wrong. However, due to the detailed plan left by Nara Sudan before he left and the shock of his super strength,

No one said anything to really expose or doubt the authenticity of the current Hokage.

Except for its own strength and authenticity, it is far inferior to the real Nara Dan.

Yakushi Nonou's kind and maternal nature also makes her want to be the director of her own orphanage, instead of becoming the so-called fake Hokage all the time. She doesn't have much interest in power.

'But watching Konoha flourish...'

‘But it’s also something that gives a sense of accomplishment.’

Yakushi Nonou thought about how Konoha was gradually turning upside down with the progress of the three-year plan left by Nara Sudan, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom and foresight of the Fourth Hokage.

Thinking about it, the elevator arrived, and Yakushi Noonoyu walked towards the Hokage's exclusive office.

"Um?!"

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, pharmacist Nonoyu's expression changed.

I saw a figure sitting in the Hokage's exclusive position, looking at the information and documents on it, looking very calm.

But this is the Hokage's office. In order to keep his identity from being exposed, Yakushi Noono only allows himself and Nara Shikaku to enter and exit.

Subconsciously, the pharmacist Nonoyu was about to call the ANBU to be on alert.

But immediately, the pharmacist Nonoyu froze, his mouth half-open but unable to make a sound.

In the position of the Hokage, she saw a tall man in casual clothes, who looked exactly like the pharmacist Nonou who was currently pretending to be, and smiled at her,

"Long time no see, Nonoyu..."

Nara Suan couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw his old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Master Duan..."

Pharmacist Nonoyu was a little in disbelief, looking at Nara Dan's expression with a dull expression,

"You are finally back!"

.....

"Brother Duan, where have you been this year?"

Immediately after hearing the news about the pharmacist Nonou, naturally it was Nara Shikaku who came over.

Nara Shikaku's face has been tempered, and his appearance has become much more mature. There is still a trace of tiredness in his eyebrows that cannot be dispelled.

It's still a bit difficult to handle the whole of Konoha by one person.

"I am no longer in this world..."

Nara Dan explained,

"I went to other worlds through some kind of time and space magic..."

"Seeing the power that is different from the chakra system..."

"I also met many powerful people from other worlds..."

Nara Shikaku's eyes widened,

"Other world..."

"No wonder, I have been asking Konoha's intelligence department to look for you but there is no news at all..."

"It turns out that he is no longer in this world!"

Nara Dan smiled. Although he had told Nara Shikaku not to look for traces of him, how could the disappearance of a Kage not be taken seriously.

Nara Shikaku looked at the mysterious golden and silver lines that had grown on Nara Zan's forehead. Although he couldn't feel it, he intuitively felt that Zan Ge must have progressed to a level that he could not imagine.

"If I have a chance, I can take you to see it..."

Nara broke off and asked,

"How has Konoha developed over the past year? Are there any restless people?"

Nara Shikaku replied,

"Konoha is developing according to the three-year plan you mentioned, Brother Duan..."

"Every department's work is under control..."

"According to Brother Duan, the per capita income and quality of life of Konoha villagers have improved..."

"As for Brother Duan, all the senior officials have speculated about your running away, but they dare not say more..."

"It's just that Orochimaru is a little restless, and from time to time there will be huge demands for experimental funding..."

"He also found out about your absence in Konoha, Brother Duan, but other than that, he didn't take any additional actions."

Nara Shikaku paused.

"As for other villages in the ninja world..."

"Basically, you are still licking your wounds and recovering your strength. You have the reputation of Brother Duan during the war,"

"Those guys don't dare to extend their tentacles here..."

"After all, no one wants to become the next Cloud Ninja Village..."

Narazan nodded. With the methods and arrangements he left behind, they are indeed still within his control.

He still cares about the position of Hokage. After all, this is the original world, and there will always be some romance.

In contrast, his position as the Lord of the Pirate God's Court is quite modest. He just wants to complete the goal of collecting one piece.

"Anyway, thank you both for the hard work..."

Nara Zan looked at Yakushi Nonou and Nara Shikaku,

Both of them have been tempered in such a special position. Nara Shikaku has become much more mature in temperament and complexion.

As for pharmacist Noonoyu, he has developed the aura of a superior person by living in a high position for a long time.

What the two of them have in common is that they both have a look of tiredness in their brows due to long hours of working and dealing with affairs, and they are even a little overdrawn physically.

Thinking about it, Nara made a thought and gathered a strange-looking fruit in his hand.

"Shikaku, this is something to reward you..."

"Haven't you always wanted to master the secret art of shadow..."

"I think I've been busy with the Hokage's internal affairs for the past year, so I haven't been able to practice..."

"Eat it..."

Nara Shikaku looked at the fruit Nara Dan handed over, hesitated for a moment at the strange appearance, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

"vomit..."

Nara Shikaku was about to vomit with stomach acid.

"What is this? Why does it taste so bad?!"

Despite his doubts, Nara Shikaku still swallowed it hard.

Nara Dan looked at Shikaku's uncomfortable look and evoked a smile,

"This is a devil fruit..."

"It's a treasure from the world I went to..."

“Very rare..”

"It can give the human body incredible powers..."

"If you talk now, you should feel it right away..."
