Ninja World: I Have a Life Simulator

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Acting Hokage, Uchiha Akira



Extracting chakra!

After waking up, Uchiha Akira extracted his chakra as usual, then activated his life simulator. Lines of text from the simulator began appearing in front of him.

[After several days of discussions, the Five Kage Summit commenced. The Hokage, along

with Jiraiya and Kakashi, headed to the Land of Iron to attend the meeting, leaving you to act as Hokage in their absence.]

[Half a month later, the Five Kage began to arrive at the Land of Iron.]

[Twenty days later, on their way back to their villages, the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage were attacked by the Akatsuki.]

[Kazekage Rasa died in battle, Tsuchikage Ōōnoki was severely injured, and Mizukage Mei Terumi was gravely wounded and fell unconscious.]

[Seizing the opportunity while the three Kage were either dead or incapacitated, the Akatsuki sped up their plans to capture the tailed beasts.]

[Half a year later, the Akatsuki successfully gathered the power of all eight tailed beasts.]

[Just as the village of Konoha was preparing to defend Naruto Uzumaki, the Ten-Tails appeared, and Madara Uchiha was resurrected.]

[You fought Madara, but were overwhelmed.]

[Madara absorbed the Ten-Tails, becoming its jinchuriki and reaching the Sage level.] [You died.]

This life simulation was different from previous ones, especially the intel about the Five Kage Summit.

The information shocked Akira. He hadn't expected the summit itself to be uneventful, but for attacks to happen after it ended?

The Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage were ambushed?

So, the Hokage and Raikage were deemed too strong to attack, leaving the weaker ones as easy targets?

Well, it made sense. Among the Five Kage, the Hokage and Raikage were indeed the strongest. Though Tsuchikage ōōnoki was powerful as well, missing a leg meant that even with his ability to fly, his overall strength was compromised.

Furthermore, attacking the Kage wasn't the Akatsuki's main objective-their real goal was to capture the tailed beasts. With three Kage either dead or gravely injured, they took advantage of the chaos to target the tailed beasts.

Now that Akira knew this information, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

After washing up, Akira had breakfast with his grandfather, Keiko, and Konan. Then an Anbu appeared, informing Akira that the Hokage wanted to see him.

Akira had a rough idea of what it might be about and nodded, heading straight for the Hokage's office.

When he arrived, the office was already crowded. The heads of the Ino-Shika-Chō clans were there, as well as several elite jonin who were prominent figures in the village.

"Uchiha Akira, you're here," Fugaku said as Akira entered, addressing him formally.

"Lord Hokage, what can I do for you?" Akira asked.

"The Five Kage have decided to go to the Land of Iron to discuss how to deal with the Akatsuki. Each Kage may bring two guards. I've decided that Kakashi and Jiraiya will accompany me," Fugaku said.

"In my absence, Uchiha Akira will act as Hokage. Any objections?"

After announcing his decision, Fugaku scanned the room for any dissent.

Since the Hokage's safety was paramount, someone strong was needed to stay behind and protect the village. Leaving Akira behind made perfect sense.

"No objections. It's the right decision," Nara Shikaku was the first to speak, endorsing Fugaku's plan.

The others quickly followed suit.

After all, with the Hokage leaving, who else but Akira could command the respect and authority needed to protect Konoha?

In terms of both power and intelligence, Uchiha Akira was undeniably qualified for the role.

"Lord Hokage, there's something I feel I should remind you of," Akira said.

He had no reason to reject the role-not that rejecting it would make a difference.

"What is it?" Fugaku asked, his expression serious. Kakashi, having witnessed Akira's predictive abilities, also paid close attention.

"Be wary of an Akatsuki ambush, especially for the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage.

"Among the Five Kage, those three are the easiest targets.

"While the Kage are together, the Akatsuki might hesitate to attack. But once the summit ends and everyone returns to their villages, an ambush is likely.

"If something happens to those three, the resulting chaos in their villages will only make it easier for the Akatsuki to pursue their tailed beast collection plan."

Akira laid out everything he knew clearly for Fugaku.

"Hmm, what you say makes sense. After the summit ends, I'll make sure to warn them properly," Fugaku said, nodding. He took Akira's warning seriously.

Once all the necessary instructions were given, Fugaku wasted no time. After a brief preparation, he left the village with Kakashi and Jiraiya, heading towards the Land of Iron.

With Fugaku gone, Akira sat comfortably in the Hokage's seat.

He didn't make any grand changes; instead, he told everyone to continue their usual duties and perform them well. He also asked Shikaku to keep an extra watch on things.

After assigning tasks, everyone gradually dispersed.

Those who left couldn't help but admire Fugaku's decision-leaving Akira to act as Hokage was a wise move that garnered everyone's respect. If he had appointed Sasuke as acting Hokage, no one would have been convinced.

"Lord Akira, here are today's documents for your review." Soon, a large pile of paperwork was brought to Akira.

Seeing the massive stack, Akira almost wanted to cry.

So, even before becoming Hokage, he had to bear the burdens of the role?

Flipping through a few documents, Akira realized they were all important matters-nothing trivial at all.

And of course, with Konoha being as large as it was and essentially managing all of the Land of Fire's military affairs, there were no small issues.

After spending the entire afternoon working, Akira found that the more documents he processed, the more seemed to appear. It was endless, leaving him stretching his sore

muscles.

In the original story, even Naruto struggled to keep up with the workload despite using numerous shadow clones. Now, Akira truly understood how exhausting it could be.

"This workload... it's impossible!"

"Just like the ancient kings from my past life who spent late nights dealing with memorials."

"I can finally understand their pain."

As the sky darkened, Akira still had a huge pile of documents in front of him. He shook his head in frustration.

Wait-if he remembered correctly, many ancient rulers had systems in place to reduce their workload. Like the cabinet system!

Early on, prime ministers handled government affairs while the emperor served as a symbolic

figurehead.

This system had been abolished during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, who got rid of the prime minister role. Akira wasn't planning on appointing a prime minister for Konoha, but a cabinet could certainly take on that role.

He wouldn't need to worry about giving too much power away either.

For example, these documents-why not let the cabinet review and make recommendations?

Then, Akira would do a final check. If there were no problems, he would approve it. If there were issues, he would suggest appropriate revisions.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With such a system, his workload would be significantly reduced while still maintaining decision-making authority. This was precisely what a cabinet system was meant for.

With his mind made up, Akira decided to head home for now.

As for the unfinished paperwork? Well, that could wait until the Hokage's cabinet was set up

tomorrow.

Upon returning to the Uchiha compound, Akira found Hinata wandering near the entrance.

When he approached, she admitted she had been waiting for him since around 7 p.m.-it was

now 10 p.m.

She had waited for three hours.

This touched Akira deeply.

But while Akira was heartbroken that Hinata had waited for him, Hinata felt even worse seeing how tired Akira was after standing in as Hokage for so long.

With both of them feeling sorry for each other, their affection grew, and they couldn't help

but cuddle.

"W-Wait, Akira, we're still outside!" Hinata stammered, her face flushed as Akira's bold

moves caught her off guard.

"So, it's okay if we're indoors then?" Akira teased, smiling as he noticed Hinata's red face.

His words made her blush even more. She lowered her head, unable to meet his eyes.

To Akira, her reaction was a silent confirmation.

Smiling, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and whispered something in her ear, causing her face to turn an even deeper shade of red. Yet, she still nodded silently...
