Master, please become the Hokage

Each major ethnic group has its own territory.

The Sarutobi clan is no exception.

As they walked along the road, fellow members of the Sarutobi clan greeted Sarutobi Ryo one after another.

Calling him "young master" all the time made the already plump breasts of the girl accompanying Shan Zhonghui even more prominent.

Everyone in Konoha knows Sarutobi Ryo.

At least in this generation, that's the case.

As a second-generation Fire Lord, Sarutobi Ryo has always behaved in a disciplined manner and has not done anything arrogant or domineering, so he naturally became a role model in people's eyes.

Today is the day to report to the Hokage Building.

The Konoha high-level officials were summoned and there were new instructions to be arranged.

The war had just ended and everything was in ruins. Konoha ninjas could be seen rushing back and forth everywhere on the road.

After being greeted with the title of "Young Master" countless times, Sarutobi Ryo finally arrived in front of the Hokage Building.

"Master Liang."

A figure that had been waiting for a long time walked over at this moment.

It's Hizashi Hinata...Hinata Ruri's childhood sweetheart, and also the person she arranged to be married to since she was a child.

Hinata Hizashi, who also had a gloomy face, was divided into a branch family because he was born just a little later than his brother Hinata Hiashi. It can be said that his life was extremely tragic.

"Hizashi-senpai."

Sarutobi nodded and responded to the greeting.

"Liu Li."

Hinata Ruri: "......"

The petite girl stood next to her fiancé, her eyes dead.

Unlike Hizashi Hinata who showed enthusiasm, Ruri seemed to have become more gloomy.

"Master Liang, thank you for saving Liuli's life. I went to the cemetery to pay my respects a few days ago, so I was late in thanking you..."

Hinata Hizashi had already heard about what happened in the previous battle against the Hidden Sky Village.

If it weren't for Sarutobi Ryo risking his life to save others, his childhood sweetheart...and fiancée would probably have gone to meet the Hyuga ancestors.

"It's better to die..."

At this moment, Hinata Ruri suddenly spoke.

The girl's cold voice, like the white moonlight, makes people feel pity.

It is better to die on the battlefield than to be rescued.

For her, that might be the best ending.

"Liuli..."

Hinata Hizashi was speechless for a moment.

As members of the same branch family, he and Liuli are both in a difficult situation.

What if he survived the Ninja World War? The caged bird seal was engraved on his forehead, and his life could be taken away at any time.

Because in the eyes of the main family of the Hyuga clan, branch family members are no different from slaves.

"Tsk..."

Shan Zhonghui couldn't help but click his tongue.

There are so many injustices. Every day when I go out, I see the world decaying step by step.

Oh my god, how did the ninja world become like this?

Destroy it.

Shan Zhonghui: "Ruri, don't be afraid, it's just the Hyuga clan, watch us crush it!"

"Master Liang~~~."

Hinata Hizashi was almost scared to death when he heard this.

I dare not say this...

However, when he looked at Sarutobi Ryo carefully, he found that...Master Sarutobi Ryo did not refute his follower's words.

He just looked at Liuli silently, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

At this time, as Sarutobi Ryo's mind affirmed Yamanaka Hui's words and his determination to abolish the old Hyuga system, the system also popped up a corresponding prompt.

【Trigger...Extra Mission!】

【System branch function is enabled! 】

[Fire Will Weapon: Hyuga Ruri]

[Side Quest Objective: Infuse Hinata Ruri with the Will of Fire!]

[Side Quest Reward: Hyuga's Power! ]

Chapter 5. Anbu...the road to power!

Just when Hinata Hizashi was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

The quarrel that broke out near the Hokage Building attracted everyone's attention.

The banging sounds and wailing, accompanied by the appearance of dancing red hair, made everyone stop.

The atmosphere didn't change until a very familiar voice rang out: "The Blood Red Chili Peppers are hitting people again~~~!"

Since Princess Tsunade, the only person in Konoha who dared to cause trouble in front of the Hokage Building was Kushina Uzumaki, known as the Blood-Red Pepper.

"What are you arguing about?! Huh?! It's you again...Kushina! What are you still standing there for? Why don't you drag her away quickly?!"

As a stern-faced female ninja walked out of the building entrance, the several Konoha ninjas guarding on both sides woke up from their dreams.

"Let me go~! Let me go...! I'm going to beat ten more~!!"

The child king Kushina who was taken away had a very stern expression on her face and was obviously very keen on fighting.

Unlike when she first came to Konoha and was bullied, nowadays, it has become a situation where Kushina bullies others.

The name of the blood-red pepper is so well-known that everyone in Konoha knows it.

"Namikaze Minato, you didn't stop her!"

The female ninja started scolding Minato Namikaze, who smiled awkwardly but did not refute.

"Lord Koharu."

Seeing the other party turn his head to look at him, Hinata Hizashi immediately nodded and saluted.

The unusually strict female ninja in front of him was none other than Koharu Utane, one of Konoha's high-ranking officials.

"Sarutobi Ryo, follow me."

Utane Koharu didn't even look at Hyuga Hizashi and directly ordered Sarutobi Ryo to follow her into the Hokage Building.

As a high-ranking member of Konoha, she is also the mother of Sarutobi Ryo... and the best friend of Sarutobi Biwako.

Utane Koharu's attitude towards Sarutobi Ryo is quite acceptable.

"Yes, Master Koharu."

Sarutobi nodded and followed.

Hinata Hizashi whispered a few words of comfort to his fiancée, then stared at the few people entering the building together.

......

in the corridor.

"Sarutobi Ryo, I told you, just call me Auntie Koharu, there's no need to be so unfamiliar."

Utane Koharu's stern voice softened a little.

But his tone was very mature, and he still maintained his status as an elder.

"Yes, Lord Koharu." Sarutobi Ryo responded indifferently, not following Koharu Utane's words at all.

"You kid, do you have any objections to me?"

"Lord Koharu, I simply feel that many of the policies of the Konoha leadership are inappropriate, such as... sending children to the battlefield."

Sarutobi Ryo's public remarks made Namikaze Minato, who was following beside him, open his eyes slightly.

He looked at Sarutobi Ryo and felt that... it was too reckless to bring it up directly.

"Ah."

Utane Koharu nodded, but said nothing.

This attitude completely treats Sarutobi Ryo as a child.

In her opinion, it was normal for Sarutobi Ryo to make some childish remarks since he had not experienced the beatings in the ninja world.

As adults, they naturally won’t argue with children.

You will understand when you grow up.

Seeing that Utane Koharu didn't take it seriously, Sarutobi Ryo shut up.

After all, one's words carry little weight.

In many places, especially Konoha, if you don't have political status, others won't take your words seriously.

Sarutobi Ryo: "Power..."

Sarutobi Ryo felt an urgent desire for power in his heart.

Soon, the group reached the second floor.

As he entered the office, Sarutobi Ryo saw his biological parents in this life.

"Father, mother."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded to the kind-looking Sarutobi Hiruzen, then looked at the woman sitting beside him who was even more severe than Utane Koharu.

The woman with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes is named Sarutobi Biwako, and she is also Sarutobi Ryo's mother.

"Elder Yan, Lord Danzo."

Sitting on the sofa on the other side, with a serious expression, was Mitomon En.

The one with a gloomy face and extremely cunning is Shimura Danzo.

The five Konoha high-ranking officials gathered together, obviously having something important to announce.

"Minato, Sarutobi Ryo..."

Mizutomon En rubbed his eyes and spoke directly.

"We called you here this time because the senior management has reviewed and assessed your past abilities... and determined that you are qualified to be promoted to 'Jonin'..."

After Chunin comes Jonin.

Of course, there are also some ninjas who will choose to become special jonin actively or passively.

Generally speaking, ninjas whose talents can be seen at a glance will be directly promoted to special jonin by the higher-ups.

Those with higher potential will skip this step and strive towards the path of becoming a jonin.

"Minato, when you become a jonin, you can lead the team..."

Mitomon En arranged the future path for Minato Namikaze as a Jonin.

Everyone present had no doubt that Minato Namikaze could become a Jonin.

After all, he has already learned the S-level Flying Thunder God Technique that only the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, knows, and his future is limitless.
