The dignified newly appointed Hokage was kidnapped right in front of the Hokage Tower.
Not just Uchiha Mikoto, Konan, and Shizune, even the passersby nearby all stared at the scene in front of them in a daze.
Aoba's identity, and the news that he was about to become Hokage, had only been posted all over the village streets this morning.
And in the afternoon he got kidnapped in public by a bunch of masked girls.
Can this Hokage even still be used?
As for Uchiha Mikoto, Shizune, and Konan, the three of them quickly came back to their senses. After exchanging a look, they tacitly decided not to bother with it anymore.
Aoba, that scumbag, deserved to suffer a bit.
And Aoba did not resist either, letting several of them tie him up and drag him into an inn.
Beside him was also the pitiful Temari, tied up as well, except her mouth was gagged.
"Temari, you…"
"All right, time is limited, cut the nonsense."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a girl's coquettish voice.
One of the masked girls said to the others, "Together, or one by one?"
"..."
The girls who had been full of momentum instantly deflated, glancing left and right at each other. After a round of hesitant mumbling, "Let's do it one by one."
"Fine, then we'll draw lots."
After making the decision, a few of them went out together, apparently really going to draw lots.
"?"
Aoba could not figure out what they were up to anymore, but he took the chance to look at Temari beside him and asked, "Temari, they didn't make things hard for you, did they?"
Temari, tied up, could only shake her head helplessly. Even though they all looked like they really wanted to beat her up, in the end none of them did.
After asking her some things, they just tied her up here. She also had no idea what those girls were planning.
"That's good."
Aoba sensed her and confirmed there really were no signs of injury on her.
Bang!
Just as he was about to ask something else, the door was opened again.
Two slender masked figures walked in.
"Tenten, Karin?", Even with masks on, Aoba recognized them at a glance.
After being called out, their bodies clearly froze for a moment.
"Jeez, Aoba-nii, why did you just say it out loud?", Karin took off her mask in dissatisfaction, and Tenten did the same, revealing an equally unhappy expression.
Aoba sighed a little, "So then, what did you kidnap me for?"
"Heh! Heh! Of course we're going to properly punish Aoba-nii and Temari for sneaking off."
Karin and Tenten stood in front of him, arms crossed, one on each side.
"What kind of punishment?", Aoba looked at the two in confusion.
"Hmph!"
At this moment, Tenten, who had not said anything, let out a very contemptuous snort.
Aoba turned to look at her, only to realize she had somehow already taken off her shoes.
"This is the punishment!"
Right after that, she raised her fair, smooth little foot without hesitation…
After that.
The girls took turns using both hands and feet to subject Aoba to a round of inhuman, terrifying "torture."
They made him break out in cold sweat, vomit, and foam at the mouth before they finally let him off.
And Temari could only watch.
Aoba had no idea what kind of punishment this was supposed to be, but seeing how much the girls were enjoying themselves, he could only act extremely resistant.
Of course, not everyone missed the chance to try something even more excessive. For example, Yakumo.
She tried to use her genjutsu to trap Aoba in an illusion world and do whatever she wanted, but the result was that someone chopped her with a hand strike, making her clutch her head and squat on the spot.
It seemed this supposedly unbreakable alliance of theirs still had plenty of issues.
———
The news that the new Hokage of Konoha had been kidnapped in public did not cause much of a stir in the village, at most becoming some drinking table gossip among villagers.
But the next day, sitting in the Hokage's office, Aoba always felt like he could not get into the mood.
Looking at the empty sofa, he sighed from time to time.
Now that she was no longer Hokage, Tsunade had not even gotten out of bed this morning, let alone come to the Hokage Tower.
Who was he supposed to make up for that missing huge pair with?
'Should I move Samui's desk over here?'
"Really, how many times have you sighed already? Are you really that unable to live without Lady Tsunade?", Hearing that barely perceptible sigh again, Shizune finally could not help speaking up.
"Uh… I just feel a bit not used to not seeing sensei in the office, that's all," Aoba did not even need to look to know what kind of expression Shizune had right now. The sourness was practically filling the whole office.
"Hmph! Then let Lady Tsunade come be your Hokage secretary instead!", Shizune snorted, clearly not convinced by his excuse.
"That won't do. If I didn't have Shizune-nee, I'd feel even worse," Aoba pushed off the floor with his feet, slid his chair right next to Shizune, and wrapped an arm around her waist affectionately.
"It's probably because if Lady Tsunade became your secretary, there would be no one left to do the work for you."
Shizune let Aoba's hand wander, still looking at the documents in her hands with a blank face as she spoke.
"..."
At that moment, the documents in her hands disappeared, replaced by Aoba's face.
"You… mmph!"
Trying to reason with a jealous girlfriend was pointless.
Aoba held her face, giving Shizune no chance to escape.
Shizune only held out for a second before melting, even responding on her own.
But just when the two were about to go a step further, Shizune's eyes regained a bit of clarity. With effort, she pushed Aoba away.
Aoba smacked his lips and looked at her in confusion.
Shizune stood up, her face slightly red, and deliberately put on a stern expression, "The villagers' vote has been going on for a while now. I'll go check the situation."
Then she turned and walked out.
"Shizune-nee, the voting results aren't that urgent, right?", Aoba asked in confusion.
But Shizune, already at the door, turned back with a mischievous grin, "As punishment, Aoba, you can just suffer slowly."
After saying that, she ran off without giving him any time to react.
"..."
Aoba could not help twitching his mouth, 'So this is Shizune's way of getting back at me after getting jealous?'
'It is actually…'
'Kind of cute.'
He stood up from his seat, lowered his head to look, and realized he was not in a state suitable for going out.
After sensing the Hokage Tower, he directly used Flying Thunder God to go to Konan's office next door.
Even though it was not lunch break yet, being a little early did not matter.
After that, he went to see Uchiha Mikoto as well, but this rather traditional housewife type could not quite accept doing it in the Hokage Tower yet.
So after some simple intimacy, Aoba went back to his own office.
"You went to see Konan?"
He had just returned when he heard Shizune's voice again.
He saw Shizune sitting in his seat, staring straight at him.
"Didn't you go to take care of the villagers' voting, Shizune-nee?", Aoba asked guiltily.
"Damn it!", Shizune bit her lip. She had just made an excuse to make him suffer a little.
But she had only gone to look at the statistics, and when she came back a short while later, he was already gone.
She jumped up from the chair and lunged straight at Aoba.
"You damn scumbag, you deserve to be squeezed dry!"
Naturally, the result was Shizune lying motionless on the sofa, copying Tsunade's lazy post activity collapse.
Since it was his fault first, Aoba helped finish her work as well.
This day was once again spent in "debauchery."
.
.
.
And next came Aoba's Hokage inauguration ceremony.
And on the very day he took office.
[The Land of Snow]
Several uninvited guests who called themselves envoys of the Land of Grass traveled thousands of miles to arrive in the Land of Snow, claiming they wanted to meet the Snow Country's queen, Kazahana Koyuki.
