Chapter 374

A month flew by in the blink of an eye.

The day had arrived, the 40th year since the founding of Konoha, the day that marked its establishment.

From the early hours of the morning, Konoha was already teeming with people.

Massive crowds had poured into Konoha from all corners of the world.

They had come to attend the grand celebration: the inauguration of the Hidden Sage Village.

But, more than that, they had come to witness the dawn of a new era.

Of course, traveling all the way to Konoha wasn't just about attending the celebration.

Many people had been yearning to see what Konoha was like for themselves.

After all, in rumors spread across the world, Konoha was described as a paradise on earth.

It was said to be the most beautiful and happiest place in the entire world.

This reputation had long filled countless hearts with admiration and longing. However, due to Konoha's previous policies, outsiders were not permitted to enter the village.

Now, with the chance to visit finally available, people came in droves.

Not only did they want to see Konoha with their own eyes, but they also wanted to capture it on film and in photographs.

They wanted to record everything and share it with people from all over the world.

Every single person who entered Konoha was left in awe, feeling that the journey had been more than worth it.

All their expectations were met, and even things they couldn't have imagined were present here.

This place completely reshaped their understanding of what was possible.

With excitement, they hurriedly recorded the beauty of Konoha, determined to spread these images and videos across the globe.

Hui, of course, did not stop them.

In fact, not only did he allow it, but he actively encouraged it, instructing the village to cooperate fully and present Konoha's most beautiful side.

These images and videos had the power to change people's hearts and minds across the world.

At this moment, people in other parts of the world were largely filled with uncertainty.

They were hopeful for the future, but they didn't know what that future would look like.

Their anticipation was mixed with anxiety.

Now, Hui's goal was to present their future to them in its entirety, showing people just how wonderful it could be.

By doing this, the process of global unification would become much smoother, and the implementation of initiatives in various regions would face fewer obstacles.

The visitors to Konoha didn't leave in a hurry. After learning about the celebration, they decided to capture the event as well.

And, naturally, they indulged in this unprecedented, unparalleled lifestyle, experiencing a beauty they had never seen before.

Finally, the day of the celebration had arrived.

"Look at this, everyone! The streets are completely packed. We can't even move forward anymore, so I can only record from here."

A man on a bustling street, holding a camera high above his head, spoke loudly to record his surroundings.

Of course, this wasn't a live broadcast, he was just capturing the scene.

There were many like him. These early risers had hoped to reach the central square sooner, but they had underestimated the enthusiasm of the crowd. Now, it was impossible to squeeze in.

Still, not everyone failed to get through.

Several "reporters" were already in the central square, brimming with excitement as they filmed what they saw.

"Everyone, look at this crowd! I've never seen so many people in one place in my life, all gathered here in Konoha.

"Of course, soon this place won't be called Konoha anymore, it will officially become the Hidden Sage Village.

"By the way, it's a good thing I camped out here last night. When the square opened this morning, I rushed in. Otherwise, I'd be stuck outside right now."

A man's voice rang out excitedly.

The celebration hadn't even begun yet, but the area was already noisy, with people chattering everywhere. It was so loud that one had to raise their voice just to be heard.

"There are only thirty minutes left until the celebration starts! Thirty minutes from now, we will witness the establishment of the Hidden Sage Village!

"This is destined to be a moment that will go down in history. To witness it personally and be a part of it, I feel incredibly honored and deeply moved!

"Hey, hey, look over there! Many of the high-ranking leaders of our village have appeared!"

The man pointed excitedly, his camera zooming in on several figures entering the square.

"That's the Deputy Head of the Medical Department! And over there, the Deputy Head of the Development Department!

"So many elite ninjas are here, they've all arrived!"

As more prominent figures entered the area, the crowd holding cameras and recording equipment grew increasingly excited, chattering animatedly among themselves.

As the higher-ups and elite members of Konoha entered the venue, the crowd's excitement began to reach its peak. Everyone knew what this meant, they were about to see him, the one person they had all been waiting for.

"He's here! He's here! That one, that one! The Minister of Education, Uchiha Kagami-sama!

And beside him, the Minister of legal department, Shimura Danzo-sama!"

At that moment, the crowd erupted with excitement.

The appearance of Konoha's top leaders and department heads sent waves of exhilaration through the gathered masses.

"That's Uchiha Fugaku-sama, the Minister of Police. However, after today, he will be heading to the Region of Wind as its leader. His position as Minister of public safety will be taken over by our Tree God, Nawaki!"

"Ah, it's the Tree God! The Tree God! He's here!!!"

The moment Nawaki appeared, the crowd's excitement surged to a whole new level.

As one of the world's Four Deities , Nawaki already had a well-known title: Tree God.

Though, in truth, Nawaki wasn't entirely satisfied with this name.

He had hoped people would call him Tree Emperor instead.

However, upon reflection, he realized that Hui hadn't claimed the title of Heavenly Emperor yet, so he couldn't take such a grand title before his brother-in-law.

Thus, Nawaki reluctantly accepted the title of Tree God, for now.

Hearing the shouts of "Tree God" from the crowd and feeling their excitement, Nawaki couldn't help but smile inwardly.

On the surface, however, he remained calm and composed, as though the cheers meant nothing to him.

After all, he was the Tree God, he had to maintain the dignity and grandeur of a deity.

Following Nawaki's entrance, Orochimaru, Sakumo Hatake, and Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared as well.

These three were also prominent ministers of Konoha, and after today, two of them would assume positions as regional leaders.

This was the true upper echelon of power. Their presence heightened the excitement in the crowd, as everyone knew these individuals were Hui's most trusted subordinates.

And if they were here, it meant Hui himself was about to appear.

Before that, however, Senju Tobirama arrived.

"That's the God of Speed in the ninja world, the Second Hokage of Konoha, Senju Tobirama-sama! He's already 65 years old, yet he still looks so youthful!

"I've heard it's because he has practiced the Eight Gates Sage Ascension Technique, a method created by Mochizuki Hui-sama. This technique allows the body to undergo evolution, breaking past its natural limits!

"And with this incredible technique, Mochizuki Hui-sama plans to gradually make it available to the entire world. Within ten years, everyone will be able to practice it!

"This is truly exciting. Perhaps in the near future, we ordinary people will be able to live for a hundred years!

"Hui-sama is truly extraordinary!!!"

As these "reporters" couldn't help but express their admiration for Hui, another figure entered the venue, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

"She's here, look! It's Tsunade-sama! The Sky Empress!!!

"Tsunade-sama is the Minister of the Medical Department and Hui-sama's fiancée. And this year, the two of them are finally getting married!

"I'm so excited! No matter what, I must find a way to attend Tsunade-sama and Hui-sama's wedding!"

The crowd was abuzz with excitement. Eyes quickly turned back toward the entrance. Now that Tsunade had appeared, there was no doubt about who would come next.

It would be him.

The leader of the entire world.

The god.

Hui.

At that moment, Hui appeared, dressed in a resplendent ceremonial robe befitting a deity.

The instant he stepped into view, the crowd erupted into chaos.

"It's him! It's Mochizuki Hui-sama, the God!!! I can die happy now, just having seen him!!!"

The voices of those holding cameras and recording devices were drowned out by the deafening roars of the crowd.

From the moment Hui appeared, there was only one word echoing throughout Konoha:

"God!!!"
