Two days later.
The Hokage election was over.
As expected, Minato Namikaze was elected the new Hokage.
This marked his official ascension to the position of the Fourth Hokage, stepping onto the stage of history.
As the saying goes, "A new emperor brings new ministers."
Whether others liked it or not, with Sarutobi Hiruzen stepping down as the Third Hokage, many of the older generation also exited the village's leadership.
At the same time, more young people entered the power center of the village.
This shift infused the village with even more vitality, and the atmosphere of cultivation seemed to grow even stronger.
That very morning, as usual, Qingming finished his morning routine and stepped out of his house. Just as he was about to grab a bite to eat, he ran into several ninjas who had risen early, preparing to head out for their training.
Their faces were filled with hope, and each one seemed to be full of dreams about the future.
Seeing this, Qingming couldn't help but shake his head, thinking: If they only knew that Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, would only be in office for a mere year, I wonder what they would think?
"Qingming!"
Just as Qingming was lost in thought, a familiar voice called out to him from behind.
He turned around and saw Uchiha Shisui appearing before him in a flash.
"Shisui! What's up?" Qingming asked, looking at him in confusion.
"Nothing." Uchiha Shisui shook his head and glanced at Qingming, who was fully geared up. "Are you going to train again?"
"Yeah," Qingming nodded, not bothering to hide it; there was no need to.
Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui spoke with a tone that seemed to convey admiration, "You're really diligent!"
Qingming couldn't respond to that, so he quickly changed the subject. "You're up pretty early too. Got something to do?"
At that moment, Uchiha Shisui was also fully armed, clearly not just out for a casual stroll.
"Well," Shisui said with a smile that mirrored that of many others, full of hope, "The Fourth Hokage has something for me, and I need to get there quickly."
"The Fourth Hokage? Now?" Qingming glanced in the direction of the Hokage building, where the lights were already on. "The Fourth Hokage is really dedicated, huh?"
"Yeah!" Uchiha Shisui responded readily, agreeing with Qingming.
Seeing Shisui's almost fanatical expression, Qingming didn't say anything more. He simply said, "Since you have something to do, I won't keep you. Go ahead!"
"Thanks!" Shisui nodded and was about to leave.
Just as Qingming thought Shisui would walk away, he suddenly stopped and turned around. "Thanks for what you did about Danzo," he said, looking at Qingming.
After that, Shisui didn't say another word and vanished in an instant.
Upon hearing his final words, Qingming was first taken aback, then smiled softly.
Given Shisui's tendency to overthink, Qingming was almost certain that he believed he had acted against Danzo for the sake of his clan.
What Shisui didn't realize was that Qingming had simply been getting rid of an inconvenience, without much deeper thought.
"Well, never mind."
Looking at Shisui's receding figure, Qingming didn't plan on explaining himself. It might actually be better this way. Let Shisui believe what he wanted; maybe it would prevent unnecessary conflict in the future.
Muttering to himself, Qingming didn't linger and immediately headed toward the breakfast street. After a hearty meal, he left the village and headed toward the island again.
By noon, after once again recalling his shadow clones and absorbing their training experiences from the past hour, turning them into corresponding skill proficiency, his "Wind Release: Rasengan" had leveled up.
Yes, the "Wind Release: Rasengan."
After nearly half a month of practice, he finally accumulated the last over 20,000 proficiency points, making it the first S-rank forbidden technique to reach perfection.
Qingming suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed across his gaze, his eyes hinting at excitement.
Standing up, he looked around briefly before deciding not to cause any further destruction to the island. After all, this was his training ground, and to ruin it just for a test of his newly perfected technique seemed wasteful.
With a thought, Qingming formed hand seals and used "Wind Release: Wind Wings" and "Chakra Armor," soaring into the sky at high speed toward the other side of the sea.
He vaguely remembered a small deserted island in that direction, perfect for use as a target.
A few minutes later, Qingming arrived near the island.
Ahead of him, he saw a small island about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide, barren and devoid of any vegetation.
Qingming raised his hand, removed the "Guardian Seal" from his forehead, and concentrated his energy, activating his Byakugan.
As expected, there were no signs of life within a kilometer radius.
Qingming let out a breath of relief, landing on the sea, where he stood firm with chakra gathered beneath his feet, about a hundred meters from the deserted island.
Then, he gathered a large amount of chakra, formed hand seals, and cast his jutsu — "Wind Release: Rasengan!"
In an instant, the air was torn and rubbed together, creating a sound that pierced the ears.
"Zzzz!" The piercing noise rang out, reaching Qingming's brain, causing him to wrinkle his brow.
Looking at the giant chakra Rasengan spinning rapidly above his palm, it felt as if he were holding a dangerously volatile bomb.
The chakra within it was wild, as if it might explode at any moment.
However, this was just an illusion.
Qingming released his senses and carefully analyzed the technique. He discovered that the internal structure was extremely stable, far beyond any previous attempts.
Its chaotic appearance was only because it contained an enormous amount of chakra, making it seem unstable when, in reality, it was solid.
In fact, Qingming could even choose to cancel the technique and slowly retract the "Wind Release: Rasengan" from his palm.
If he did so and used "Chakra Absorption," he would still be able to recover about 70% of the chakra.
It could be said that the difference between lv10 (0/0) perfection and lv9 was on a completely different level.
"No wonder it took a full 100,000 proficiency points. It was worth it!"
Qingming muttered to himself, then turned slightly to adjust his angle, making about a 30-degree angle with the deserted island.
With a forceful motion, he threw the "Wind Release: Rasengan."
In the next moment, the giant chakra Rasengan spun and flew through the air, carving a crescent-shaped trail across the sea before hitting the deserted island with pinpoint accuracy.
Boom!
The violent explosion echoed across the sea.
From a distance, the island was struck, and in an instant, it exploded. The ground shook intensely, and when the dust settled, the island had lost a large portion of its mass, as though a huge chunk had been bitten off.
