[no text just happy]

Zetsu: I never even considered that Pain might actually be defeated... // --WE MUST REPORT THIS TO TOBI--
Shikaku: What is it?
ANBU: An urgent meeting has been called. / As a Jounin leader, you are to proceed to the Daimyo's palace.

9
Shikaku: I see......
Zetsu: --THAT IS THE SITUATION-- // What do we do? // --KONAN WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO US---
Tobi: ...We must find another tool capable of synchronising with the Gedou Mazou... // ......... // Kisame...... You go out and search for the Hachibi. // I have something else to take care of.

10
Omoi: Ahhhhh... This is quite the problem...
Karui: ......Hmm?!
Omoi: Well, you know... there are an awful lot of extremely cute girls in the village of Konoha... // What am I supposed to do if they all make confessions of love to me at once...?
Karui: Yeah, yeah, yeah... good question! // Why don't you just go out with one of 'em, then?! / Take whichever one's closest!
Omoi: ......That's all very well, but what if, when the time comes for us to leave Konoha, the girl in question has fallen so in love with me that she can't beat to see me go...? What should I do then...? / I'd be too scared to go through with a lovers' suicide...
Karui: I don't know whether you're tryin' to be positive or negative about this, but you should damn well pick one and make up your mind! / Hell, we haven't even arrived at Konoha yet! Thinking that far into things is just creepy, all right?!
Omoi: What about you then, Karui? What if you start getting confessions from men with extremely attractive faces?
Karui: Can't ya just say "hotties" or something like a normal person?! // But still... now that you mention it... // I guess there is always the chance that I could run into some tall, hot, absolutely loaded ninja who happens to have a thing for me...!

11
Omoi: No, no, you're overthinking this, that would never happen! / Not a chance!
Karui: ......... // Where the hell do you get off saying that?! Huh?!!
Omoi: Aahh! // Can't you be more careful?! What if that rock had smashed into a larger rock, and knocked it over...... / ...and then that rock had rolled off and crashed into an even larger rock... // *pant* // *pant* // ...and it ended up turning into a gigantic landslide that covered the entire village of Konoha, wiping it off the map...?! // *pant*
Karui: Like I said, you're the one overthinking things here, dumbass!!

12
Karui: O... Oh, crap!! I didn't mean to do it, really............! I didn't think that little rock would......!
Omoi: K... Karui... What have you done...
Samui: Oh, don't be ridiculous, you two. Let's see if we can find some people.
Sakura: She used Katsuya-sama's techniques to protect the village... // She lost consciousness afterwards, and has been like this ever since... // To be frank, I can't even say when she might open her eyes again...

13
Naruto: Baa-chan.........
ThatOneGuy: We fully intend to continue our task of combating Akatsuki, together with our allied nations.
People: ...But with the village in that state...... / We of the Country of Fire will support you in the reconstruction of your village in whatever way we can. // First of all, we must calculate the necessary funds... Then, we should consider the tensions with other nations, and...

14
Danzou: There is something more pressing to take care of first. // We must appoint a new Hokage.
Shikaku: (I knew it... that's his plan.)
Daimyo: Would it not be preferable to wait until Tsunade recovers her health?
ThatOneWoman: Daimyo-sama... / Tsunade is currently in a comatose state. // With the village in its current condition, a leader who is unlikely to awaken in the forseeable future is not enough to take control and supervise the immediate action that must be taken. / Besides which, the responsibility for Konoha's destruction lies with her.
Daimyo: I had hoped to finally appoint Jiraiya this time around... / I liked the man very much, but alas, he is no longer with us. // ...Are there any other possibilities available?
Danzou: In that case, allow me to......

15
Shikaku: I nominate Hatake Kakashi!
Danzou: !
Daimyo: Oh...? The son of the White Fang... // Very well! I have no objections. / What do you all think of this proposition?
People: He certainly has the renown, the power and the skill... // But is he not still too young to take on such a duty? // When Minato was appointed to the seat of Fourth Hokage, he was younger still... // Under whom did Hatake Kakashi study?
ThatOneGuy: The Fourth Hokage.
Daimyo: Well, the Fourth Hokage was Jiraiya's student, and Jiraiya studied under the Third Hokage himself! // There would appear to be no issue. Well, then...

16
Danzou: It is the teachings of the Third Hokage... // ...that led our village to its destruction, is it not?!!
Daimyo: ......!
Danzou: The leader of Akatsuki, who destroyed the village, was himself a student of Jiraiya. / This is what comes of taking pity on other nations and lending them power! // We have become too soft! Far too soft!! // We have become so soft over these past generations that we allowed our allies of the Sand to betray us...... / ...nearly permitted Orochimaru to destroy our village... // ...allowed Akatsuki to wreak havoc... / ...and even allowed the last of the Uchiha, the boy Sasuke, to forsake the village and become a danger to us all!

17
Danzou: What manner of Hokage do we need in times such as these?! // A Hokage who can pick up the pieces of this dire situation, and bring reform and order to the world of shinobi! / It is I who should take on that task!!
People: How do you feel about leaving this to Danzou for the time being, Daimyo-sama?
Daimyo: .........
Shikaku: This man's cold, fanatical, one-sided methods are not -
Daimyo: I have reached my decision. // Danzou, I grant unto you... // ...the title of Sixth Hokage!
[Side text: A shift of power to shake the village to its core!! A new dark cloud looms over Konoha...!!]
