Chapter 8: Konoha

In his office, Naruto began to think over the next steps. Basically, he understood his own memories, and also thought about the abilities hidden in the body and made some conclusions. Still, the main success is not only in the post of Hokage, but also in the enormous semi-divine abilities, which have not yet seemed possible to reveal.

Suddenly, he got something interesting …

> Shizune:

– 5 Trust

+ 10 Depravity

+ 5 Submission

> Condition – Anxiety, Guilt, Shame, Excitement, Doubt …

This turned out to be very helpful.

“Hmm, the ability to receive notifications about the target, and even to monitor its state … Interesting … It seems Shizune does not know what to do, but judging by the increased depravity, she is fighting with herself and perhaps winning her dark side. Although, increased subordination may indicate that she has already made decisions or is trying … In any case, five points is very good. Now I have a hundred and twenty, thirty in total, and I will open access to the next girl. Of course, this is not so much … “- closing his fingers under his chin, the Hokage frowned:

“As I understand it, you can act without a chosen goal, now I can subordinate Tsunade, even without observing her in the system. It’s just that the girl’s statistics will not be available to me and, therefore, I will not be able to get Submission points. This is probably done so that I do not recruit ten different girls and add up their subordination to a whole hundred. Still, the fulfillment of the goals will depend on them, which in turn will give me a lot of advantages … “- he quickly drew conclusions about all the limitations. He took them for granted, since he was already content with the current situation. This is understandable, because even if he did not have a system, only his position and a new chance to live, one can rejoice. There was a very real opportunity to return Naruto’s original strength, and even increase it. While enjoying the luxury, power and beautiful kunoichi. Yes, this is just a gift of fate, not otherwise, to be impudent in this situation is simply stupid, and even more so to rush. When so many opportunities are open before you, it is better to always stop and reduce your appetites by focusing on one thing. For example, on Shizune …

When the sun disappeared over the horizon, Naruto pulled on his orange jacket and left his own office. For the first time, he left it and decided to immediately look around. First of all, he found himself in a spacious corridor, which looked quite good: there were, as well as a couple of soft sofas for guests, and various paintings hung on the rounded walls. The Hokage’s main office was just the place to receive people. For this reason, on this floor, he did not meet anyone at all, since they came here only to him. After looking around here, he went down to the floor below.

On the way, Naruto met several workers who immediately greeted him politely. This, of course, he liked, so if everyone were so polite …

The residence itself was quite impressive. Several floors, dozens of rooms and long corridors. Several huge meeting rooms and even barracks with some kind of research laboratories. Naruto visited all of them, watched his people continue to work hard, and made a couple of complimentary comments. However, these shinobi, apparently, were more likely to be engaged in affairs of precisely the foremost importance for the management of Konoha. Simply put, the residences served as a kind of administrative building and an additional dwelling for the ruler and his retinue. Therefore, the so-called barracks and laboratories did not play an important role. Probably, during the reign of either the Sixth or the Seventh, something changed, and the security was significantly reduced. Naruto didn’t ask any questions, but after making a little detour, he realized a lot. For example, his floor was the highest and most important, his own chambers and an office were located here, no one besides him worked at all on the upper floor, even the guards were not allowed there. They guarded only the stairs and the entrance gate to this personal place of the leader. Moreover, there was a repository of secret scrolls and all the most important values. He definitely planned to visit this place in the future.

“Not so bad. Now I at least know that I have a private room with a good bed. It seems that in the past I often stayed here … ”

After leaving the Residence, the Hokage entered the busy streets of Konoha for the first time. The sun has already completely disappeared into darkness and thousands of sparkling lights have scattered across the cloudless sky. The moon, at the head of its retinue, shone especially brightly today. The hour of meeting Shizune was approaching … Until the time came, Naruto wanted to take a leisurely look around and in about an hour reach the main gate. At least he hoped to find them by then. This step with the girl is actually very useful, as it could help to scout the situation a little and superficially examine his own domain.

The Village of the Hidden Leaf was ruled by him – the Seventh Hokage. The view of the developed village was really impressive. Naruto remembered a lot about this world, even the changed Konoha with the arrival of the New Generation. But still, walking around the city with such modern buildings evoked some distant sensations of the past …

Countless lanterns illuminated the streets, threw their invisible warmth on a couple of lovers, lonely travelers and on old warriors who survived the great war. Naruto saw them all and smiled involuntarily. Looking from above or descending into this place, two completely different paths and feelings were different at the same time …

Suddenly, several voices were heard from the side, to which the man did not immediately pay attention, continuing to admire the windows of a small tea shop.

– Master Hokage! – several shinobi, as soon as they noticed their leader, immediately bowed to the waist. Their respect and admiration burned in their eyes. Even Naruto was surprised at this reaction. They just embodied awe and reverence!

When a crowd of onlookers had already gathered around these ninja, then the Hokage finally began to get annoyed. Not that he didn’t like it, it was rather the wrong time …

“Wow, this is Hokage-sama!”

– He’s so tall!

– Mr. Hokage, can you come for tea?

Fortunately, the Chūnins understood everything and quickly dispersed everyone. Bowing again, they saluted and disappeared in a gust of wind.

Looking around further, Naruto was even able to find the famous Ichiraku Ramen. With a wave to Ayama, Naruto continued his little journey.

After about half an hour, he stopped in a wide street and looked around. The first thing that caught my eye was his residence, majestically standing right under the seven faces of the past Hokage. In that rock was also carved his face – the Seventh Hokage!

At this he only nodded calmly. This did not evoke any special feelings. After that, Naruto noticed huge skyscrapers right on the cliff, and also a long railway track. This world was really surprising, with such a system of government, chakra and wars, they still continued to evolve.

“Hmm, and the phones are father-in-law? Cameras and game consoles seemed to be, as far as I remember … “- if advanced computer technologies were present, then some details immediately became interesting to him. Still, they could help carry out his plans.
