"Team 7 consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "I am the teacher in charge of the team."
The Konoha Arena fell silent.
Kitazawa will soon become the Sixth Hokage.
It goes without saying what kind of treatment his students will receive.
Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga both smiled at the same time.
Hinata Hyuga's eyes widened in surprise.
The sudden realization of her dream caught her off guard.
But soon her lips curled into a smile, and she excitedly clenched the hem of her clothes.
"Sasuke, I never thought we'd become teammates!"
Naruto Uzumaki, his teeth flashing, exclaimed, "This is youth!"
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth.
He felt happy, but not entirely happy.
"...That concludes the class assignments for this graduation exam."
Kitazawa looked at Tsunade and said, "Next, please welcome the Hokage."
Everyone immediately burst into applause.
Tsunade nodded and used Body Flicker Technique to enter the arena.
Kitazawa stepped aside and watched her begin to speak.
"All the students performed very well in this graduation exam, especially Class 7."
Tsunade smiled and said, "I believe they will become the new generation of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."
These words sent a jolt through everyone present.
The status of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha Village needs no further explanation.
The new Sannin of Konoha will naturally be outstanding, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Seventh Hokage will be born in Team 7.
Furthermore, Tsunade's remarks deliberately mentioned Team 7, and her intention was self-evident.
"One last thing to let you know."
Tsunade paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and said, "The Hokage succession ceremony will be held next Monday."
Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, she didn't like to give long speeches, and quickly ended her speech after completing Kitazawa's task.
But at this point, no one cared about the length of her speech; everyone was astonished by its content: the Hokage succession ceremony next Monday.
"Alright, everyone, thank you for your hard work today. You can all go home now."
Tsunade didn't give them time to react, waved her hand, and said.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
Kitazawa then walked up to the group of geniuses.
They and their teachers were still standing in the same spot.
Congratulations on your successful graduation.
Kitazawa smiled and said, "You can go find your team leaders now."
Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!
The students in the gifted class said in unison.
After they finished speaking, they ran to their respective teachers.
Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, and the others said goodbye to Kitazawa and left with their students.
They will, as is customary, find a place to introduce themselves, and some may even add extra assessment steps.
For example, the classic bell-grabbing scene between Kakashi Hatake and Team 7 in the original work.
Kitazawa, however, had no intention of stealing the bell.
Because it is not necessary.
Furthermore, if a real fight breaks out, the commotion would be terrifying.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Naruto Uzumaki asked excitedly, "What are we going to do next?"
"Not doing anything."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Go back and rest, and wait for my notification."
He's about to become the Sixth Hokage, and he has a lot to do.
In addition, considering the possible actions of the Akatsuki organization, they will not be going out on missions for the time being.
"what?"
Naruto Uzumaki thought he would have a new mission, but to his surprise, there was nothing.
"Huh what?"
Tsunade smiled and said, "As genin, your most important task is to obey the orders of your team leader."
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you have many new tasks."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
He was referring to the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"Okay, Kitazawa-sensei!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately became excited.
"Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei."
Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga didn't say much.
"Tsunade-sensei, would you like me to take you back to the Hokage's office?"
Kitazawa looked at Tsunade and asked.
Only the two of them remained at the Konoha Arena.
"No, I don't need to go back to the Hokage's office. Here, take this."
Tsunade smiled and handed him a set of keys.
"What does it mean?"
Kitazawa was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
"What I mean is, from this moment on, you are the Sixth Hokage."
Tsunade placed the key in his hand and said, "This is the key to the Hokage's desk. I'm going to the casino now. Good luck."
After she finished speaking, she simply turned around and left.
Kitazawa looked at the key in his hand and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
But that's definitely Tsunade's style.
Kitazawa sighed and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Hokage's office.
He sat in the Hokage's office chair and couldn't help but fall into thought.
Although he will officially become Hokage next Monday, Tsunade has already taken a hands-off approach, so he has to think about what to do next.
The saying goes, "A new broom sweeps clean."
He has become the new Hokage, and it's time for him to make some moves.
Kitazawa's first thought was the Hokage advisor.
Currently, Konoha Village has three Hokage advisors.
Previously, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, as well as Nara Shikaku, the head of the Hokage Secretariat.
Kitazawa plans to abolish the position of Hokage advisor and only retain the position of Hokage secretary.
Mitokado Enoki and Utatane Koharu can simply retire.
As for Nara Shikaku, his position remains unchanged; he is still in charge of the Hokage Secretariat.
After all, the Nara clan's intelligence is trustworthy.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
He had originally planned to have Kurenai Yuhi become the Hokage's secretary, but now that she is the head of the film and television department, there is no need for her to continue as the Hokage's secretary.
The Hokage's secretaries are enough to handle things with Nara Shikaku and Shizune.
Of course, we can add more people later.
Aside from the Hokage's advisors and secretary, the Anbu is the most in need of personnel.
Kitazawa became the Sixth Hokage, and Sarutobi Asuma became the team leader, leaving the Anbu without two leaders.
Fortunately, he had already decided on the candidates: Konan and Kakuzu.
Kitazawa then thought of Nagato.
What position should he be given after joining Konoha?
Kitazawa shook his head.
It's too early to think about this now; let's wait until the Akatsuki organization is fully integrated into Konoha.
Kitazawa reviewed all the existing departments in Konoha Village.
In general, most things can remain the same.
However, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, there will definitely be many more departments added.
Kitazawa felt a headache coming on.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to set everything up all at once; he can add things gradually later.
sunset.
Kitazawa stood up, ready to leave work.
Just then, three lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[Current Mission: Form a new Legendary Sannin of Konoha.]
[Mission Reward: Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".
The system task was completed so quickly?
Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.
It is now dusk.
It's highly likely that after an afternoon of fermentation, the entire Hidden Leaf Village now knows about the so-called new Hidden Leaf Sannin.
Regardless, this is ultimately a good thing.
Mastering Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands means having completely mastered Wood Release.
Kitazawa is now only lacking chakra compared to Hashirama Senju.
Thinking about it carefully, it's quite bizarre.
He completed so many system tasks and his chakra far surpassed that of all other ninjas, but he still couldn't compare to Hashirama Senju.
Fortunately, it's enough.
