After transmigrating as Hiruzen Sarutobi's eldest son, Sarutobi Xingguang plans to use his status as the Hokage's son to settle into early retirement: drinking tea, walking the dog, and reading Icha Icha Paradise.
But his dad and Danzo are locked in a Konoha-style office power struggle, Akatsuki is collecting Tailed Beasts like action figures, Orochimaru's Konoha Crush countdown is nearly up, and the original protagonist is still playing ninja make-believe. If I wait for them to carry me, the grass on my grave will be three meters tall... In despair, he realizes that nobody in Konoha, or even the entire shinobi world, is any good at fighting!
“Forget it... Let's just destroy everything. Hurry up.”
“, Once I become Hokage, that is.”
And so, the laziest yet most overworked crown prince in Konoha history grumbles as he quietly pulls out The Five-Year Ninjutsu Plan and Three-Year Practice Tests, The Konoha Government Reform Proposal, and The Akatsuki Bankruptcy Playbook...
“I just wanted to retire, so why am I being forced to act like the dad of the entire shinobi world?”
“Naruto, Sasuke, hurry up and grow up already! I can't keep serving as Hokage for even one more day!”
