Naruto: I became the Third Hokage

"Ughhh... I wanted to wear it like First and Second Hokage."

"Nonsense. A long jacket like Minato looks better."

Today was the Hokage ceremony. Due to delays from the Daimyo in arriving in his carriage, the ceremony was delayed by another week.

Akane was gushing over her daughter becoming the Hokage. And has made sure that the Hokage cloak was like Minato, more of a long jacket.

It has the most drip.

Becoming the Hokage is a really big deal.

Afterall, becoming the clan head is more or less straightforward in most clans.

In the Uchiha clan, the strongest will become the clan head.

In the Senju clan, it is democratic. All ninjas above the Chunin level that Tobirama established will vote for the leader. Obviously, they need to be very strong.

This clearly shows the differing ideologies of Indra and Asura.

As for the other clans, it is hereditary. You just need to be born in the family of the clan head. Though unless you are a Hyuga, even the younger kid can become the clan head if he is stronger and liked more.

But the position of the Hokage is very different. Just being the strongest wouldn't make one the Hokage. You will have to be well-liked by the people, and in this era, the clan heads of majority of the clans. Currently, Konoha has a total of 59 clans, with some of the most stuck up clans like the Hyuga and Kurama.

Anyway, if compared to the real world, it is like becoming the dictator of USA, with incredibly good economy and no competition from Asia like Russia, China, India, Vietnam and such. Basically, a USA that never loses any war. With an actually competent military with better moral values compared to the world.

Thinking about it this way, it sounds even more incredible.

But, it also comes with threats. Just like what happened with the Senju clan, now the Uchiha clan will also be targeted throughout the world. Everyone eyeing their eyes.

That's why, Akane is currently developing a seal like the Hyuga clan to protect the Sharingan, minus the enslaving part and plus being able to give their Sharingan out for EMS.

Looking at her daughter, Akane sighed. They basically look like sisters, looking like Yor Forger from that anime. But, there is no camera in this world right now.

Both activated their Sharingans, and engraved the scene in their memories.

"I hope the 'smartphones' could be created soon."

Since getting her mother's memories, Akame has been wanting to visit that world. While the pollution was unimaginable, medical abilities were primitive, food was really low in nutrition, and the majority of the people were still stupid, the 'tech' technology was astonishing.

She so much wants to get computers, smarphones, TVs and such things.

An ANBU knocked at the door of the Hokage Office.

"Hokage-sama, it's time."

"Alright."

Taking one last look at the mirror, Akame left the office, with her mother following behind.

On the top of the Hokage building, the ceremony will take place, while everyone will be watching it from below.

Akame turned into numerous butterflies, and appeared before the crowd, with her Sharingan active and an affectionate gaze towards the crowd.

Till now, Sharingan has been directly linked to 'intimidating'.

The 'Curse of Hatred' that Tobirama has used to describe is partially true. Because, most use the Sharingan during battles. Where they kill, and watch their loved ones getting killed. The scenes watched by the Sharingan are always engraved in mind.

That's why, Uchihas often loose themselves in negativity.

But, what if it is used to engrave the happy moments in life?

Well, it still depends on the person. Some might go even more mad by remembering that happy moments are no more, or they might come to realisation that not only bad things exist in life.

Afterall, Shisui had been sane despite being the youngest known guy to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Itachi was insane and depressed despite having lived through almost the same condition as Shisui.

Yet, Akame wants to equate the Sharingan more with love and affection than hate and intimidation.

The Fire Daimyo held the Hokage hat, and placed it on Akame's head.

People cheered, since Akame was really popular. An idol for the girls and kunoichis, and a powerful ninja that will protect the village for everyone. Afterall, she has turned Kumo to wasteland.

The only group that looked displeased were the Hyugas. Afterall, they are hated by the general public, and the new Hokage has assigned the students of Second Hokage and other top tier jonins of the village as teachers to many branch family members, yet none of the main family members.

It was clear discrimination against the Hyuga clan. Despite them being neutral during the Warring Era and the reign of First and Second Hokage, with especially close ties to the Fire Daimyo due to Byakugan being capable of detecting genjutsu the best.

They had expected the Uchiha Hokage to target the Senju, but instead the Hyuga clan was being targeted for no reason.

At this point of time, they didn't view themselves as the rivals of Uchiha since Senju are still present, even though are very weakened.

And, they were feeling even more restless due to Konoha now having another dojutsu clan, which has recently been invited into Konoha after Land of Lightning was decimated.

Akame looked at all the people of Konoha, and smiled.

"People of Konoha, I take the oath as the Third Hokage to uphold the Will of Fire and protect Konoha.

I will not let any sacrifices made for the village to go to waste. We will make Konoha a better place for our children, where they will laugh and play without being afraid of getting sent into pointless wars.

The First Hokage led the founding of Konoha. The Second Hokage led the foundation of a strong base for Konoha. As the Third Hokage, I will work together with the people of Konoha, the next generation with new ideas, to build the building of Konoha upon the solid structure laid by our predecessors.

Repeat after me,

Will of!"

"""FIRE!"""

"Will of!"

"""FIRE!"""

"Will of!"

"""FIRE!"""
