Master, please become the Hokage

This also resulted in the instant death of his guiding jonin.

Sarutobi Ryo recalled the battle and could not recognize the identities of those mysterious guys.

Since the work Naruto does not have much description about World War II, it is normal to see masters that you don’t know appear in it.

Sarutobi Ryo didn't think much about it, but just reported what he encountered to his superiors truthfully.

"Ninjas are often accompanied by death. This is a normal thing."

Sarutobi Ryou nodded, then met Minato Namikaze's eyes.

"But... Minato, don't you think it's unreasonable to send a child to war?"

The deceased being worshipped in front of him, Senju Nawaki, was a senior of Sarutobi Ryo and Namikaze Minato, and also their playmate when they were young.

From the moment Senju Nawaki died, Sarutobi Ryo's dissatisfaction with the current Konoha political system erupted.

Today, the cemetery has added a large number of children's tombstones and countless broken families.

"this......"

Minato Namikaze looked at the ground, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, he kindly reminded.

"Master Liang, be careful with your words..."

"When telling the truth can become a sin, huh..." Shan Zhonghui, who was holding an umbrella at the side, raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.

Namikaze Minato's smile slowly disappeared. After thinking for a moment, he responded, "Master Liang, perhaps some things are indeed unreasonable at the moment... So, all we can do is work hard to climb, become Hokage, and then... change those things."

that power.

Minato Namikaze emphasized the importance of power.

A ninja, unless he is like the first Hokage, can pacify the Land of Fire alone.

Otherwise, you still have to plan the path to power while improving your strength.

When they were young, the three of them often talked about each other's dreams.

Needless to say, Senju Nawaki's ideal is to inherit the will of his grandfather Senju Hashirama and become the Kage of this village.

The same is true for Minato Namikaze.

Among the three, the only one who was not interested in becoming Hokage was Sarutobi Ryo.

However, some things happened, especially witnessing the death of Senju Nawaki, which completely changed Sarutobi Ryo.

When...a soul with 21st-century thinking and belonging to the Celestial Empire witnesses children being sent to the battlefield to die, what kind of thoughts and emotions will surge in his heart?

Sarutobi Ryo’s answer was: I will be the Hokage, it’s time to inject the true will of fire into this village!

“Power does matter.”

Sarutobi nodded.

After all, without power, even if one's strength reaches the level of Konoha White Fang and Hatake Sakumo, one can only be ordered around by those in power.

"Master Liang, are you also going to compete for the position of Hokage?" Namikaze Minato blinked his eyes and spoke in a gentle tone, making people feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.

No wonder Kushina calls him the little sun.

"That's right." Sarutobi Ryo looked at Senju Nawaki's grave again. "Some things need to change... No, it's time to go back to our original intentions."

"Then let's do our best together."

Namikaze Minato's smile became even brighter, without any jealousy in his eyes.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Minato Namikaze said goodbye. He had to go to the other side of the cemetery to apologize to Kushina who also came to pay her respects.

"Master, this guy Minato Namikaze seems to be sure that he can become Hokage."

Shan Zhonghui raised the corner of his mouth and looked disdainful.

"Would you like me to teach him a lesson in private?"

"..."

After listening to Yamanaka Kei's speech, Sarutobi Ryo's expression gradually became strange.

My childhood sweetheart is good in every way.

But there is a problem.

It’s just…it’s like…how should I put it, it’s like I got the script from a lackey.

And that villain seemed to be myself.

Chapter 4. The Ninja World is Corrupted Again

"Master, I've checked these past few days. Although Minato Namikaze has made some progress recently, he's still not worth mentioning. Moreover, he's actually so delusional as to want to compete with you for the position of Hokage..."

The beautiful girl with blonde hair and a ponytail said this, with a wicked smile on her lips.

——A perfect villain template.

That’s right, this is the rhythm.

The follower went up first to pick a fight with the Child of Destiny and was severely beaten up.

If you can’t beat him, go find the master.

The arrogant second generation of Huo felt humiliated and took action himself. As a result, his mother, who was also beaten, could not even recognize him.

In the end, the villains become experienced cannon fodder on the road to the rise of Destiny's Child...

"Don't make trouble."

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at Yamanaka Kei as a warning.

Shan Zhonghui shrank his neck and had to give up.

In the original work, Konohamaru's parents... have no names, but in a cover page of the comic, they are said to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's right-hand men and elite ANBU ninjas.

He doesn't even show his face. Perhaps he really was once on the path of being slapped in the face by Minato Namikaze's pretense. Because he had no face to see people, he could only wear a mask and be an Anbu for the rest of his life.

But Ryo Sarutobi is not interested in playing the protagonist and villain game with others, nor is he prepared to follow the predetermined fate path in the original work.

My destiny is my own.

Since we have come to this world, we must naturally follow our own will and realize our path.

As the son of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he came from a distinguished family.

He inherited the "seven attributes" talents of the Ninjutsu Doctor and possessed the "natural power" of the Sarutobi clan... He possessed all kinds of titles and identities.

When walking on the street, everyone calls him "Young Master".

The treatment is just like Konohamaru in the original work, everyone has to give him some face.

With such an excellent start, talent and resources, Sarutobi Ryo naturally did not waste a single day.

Only in this way can you live up to the great start.

His outstanding talent, coupled with hard work from childhood to adulthood, eventually allowed him to grow to his current level.

If the estimate is correct, the next step will probably be for him to be promoted to "Jonin" by the Konoha high-level officials together with Minato Namikaze.

"Senior Nawaki, just watch carefully. I will change Konoha and this ninja world!"

After saying this, Sarutobi Ryo turned and left the cemetery.

"Master, didn't you say that the soul is dormant after death? If so, Senior Rope Tree definitely doesn't know what you did..."

Shan Zhonghui held an umbrella and quickly followed.

Sarutobi Ryo: "Shut up!"

......

The next morning, the sky cleared after the rain.

Sarutobi Ryo started doing morning exercises in the yard early in the morning.

The huge yard was empty, with only two people living in this old house.

After the establishment of Konoha, the first owner of this house was Sarutobi Ryo's grandfather and Sarutobi Hiruzen's father... Sarutobi Sasuke.

The second master was naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Later, when Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Sandaime Hokage, he moved out of here and moved to the annex of the Hokage Building... and took over the public residence heritage named "Hokage's House" from Senju Tobirama.

This compound naturally fell into the hands of Sarutobi Ryo.

Ryo Sarutobi doesn't like crowds.

The cool and quiet courtyard is the best place for cultivation.

"Master, the meal is ready."

After a set of Konoha taijutsu was finished, a girl with blonde hair and a ponytail wearing an apron came over to greet them enthusiastically.

Yamanaka Kei, who works part-time as a maid, has been Sarutobi Ryo's playmate and has taken care of his daily life since she was very young.

Sarutobi Ryo gathered his posture, went into the house and started eating.

Another peaceful day began.

After several years of life on the battlefield, now that I have returned to a peaceful day, everything seems like a dream.

"Master, the war is over. There should be peace from now on."

Yamanaka Hui took off her apron, came over and knelt on the tatami.

No matter how smart she was, it was her first time experiencing the Ninja World War, so she still had some lingering fears.

"uncertain."

Sarutobi Ryo shook his head.

Yamanaka Hui thought that his master was talking about the post-war mission after the war.

However, what Sarutobi Ryo said next surprised Yamanaka Kei.

"The end of the Second Shinobi World War was interrupted by the division of the interests of small countries among the various countries. Once the spoils of war are digested by all countries, the Third Shinobi World War will break out..."

The official Naruto official book evaluates the Third War as follows:...The Third War is a continuation of the Second War.

Because the five major powers did not suffer serious damage in World War II, they began to expand their confidence in a mysterious way.

Everyone thought they could achieve something unprecedented.

This ultimately led to the tragedy of World War III, in which the losses suffered by all countries were heavier than any previous war.

"what?"

When Shan Zhonghui heard this, disappointment immediately appeared on his fair cheeks.

There will be another war in a few years.

"Why don't these guys just die?"

She was referring to...ambitious people in various countries.

If you can speak, speak more.

Sarutobi Ryo had no ill feelings towards this evil childhood sweetheart.

Because birds of a feather flock together.

In fact... Ryo Sarutobi doesn't think he is a good person either.

But unfortunately, this is a worse world.

Even if I am not a good person, I am much better than those ambitious people.

From this we can see how rotten this world is that it actually needs a villain to save the ninja world.

After meal.

Yamanaka Hui cleared the table, and the two of them went out together to the outside world.

Konoha in this era is still divided and governed.
