Master, please become the Hokage

Jonin... is a height that most ninjas can hardly reach in their lifetime.

For a genius like Minato Namikaze, this is just the beginning.

Then, Mitomon En announced the arrangements for Kushina and others. Although Kushina was dragged away and put in solitary confinement because of fighting at the door, the necessary arrangements would still be made.

Finally, everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, waiting for his arrangements for Sarutobi Ryo.

Your son, come on your own.

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and stood up from his seat.

"I think it would be more appropriate for Sarutobi Ryo to join the Anbu for some training."

"Very good." Utane Koharu nodded. She believed that Sarutobi Ryo's childish ideas would fade after the cleansing of the Anbu path, and he would become more mature. Furthermore, Sarutobi Ryo was the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they naturally shared the same interests.

It's one of our own.

"Your son isn't dark enough."

At this moment, Danzo said this.

Danzo, known as the "Darkness of Shinobi", is best at insight and bewitching people.

Otherwise, in the original work, it would be impossible to kill Shisui and trick Itachi into destroying the clan.

If Sasuke didn't have the aura of Indra's reincarnation and Nagato didn't have Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan plug-in, I'm afraid these two would have died.

From Danzo's perspective, Sarutobi Ryo did have some little thoughts, but that was all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's son...is an extremely pure person.

This kind of person can be compared to guys like Might Dai and Hatake Sakumo, they are all purely excessive.

How could such a person get anything good from joining the Anbu?

"Why not lead the team normally, just like Minato Namikaze..."

Danzo stated his evaluation conclusion.

Then he looked at Yamanaka Hui who had a wicked expression on his face.

"It's Yamanaka Hui..."

Very suitable to enter the Anbu, no... it should be to join the old "Root".

As for Hinata Ruri, she was simply ignored by Danzo.

Even dogs dislike those family members who have the mark of a caged bird on their foreheads.

Seeing that Danzo was eyeing his future daughter-in-law, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally began to frown: "Danzo... this is not appropriate..."

"Why don't we join the Anbu together so we can look after each other."

Utane Koharu suggested that Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei join the Anbu together.

"Of course, even if he's your son, Sarutobi, he still has to follow the procedures and take the assessment... He can't be corrupted for personal gain..."

Utane Koharu examined her.

From beginning to end, they never mentioned Hinata Ruri, as if she were air.

After discussion, the top management finally confirmed it.

Let Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei go through the "Jounin Examination" together. After passing, they will immediately sign up for Anbu and go through another test to hone their skills.

With the end of high-level discussions.

A line of information suddenly appeared in front of Sarutobi Ryo's retina.

【Fire Will System! 】

[Story·Main Quest Module Opened! ]

New Main Story Mission Released: The Road to Anbu! Infuse the Will of Fire into Konoha's Anbu!

[Main Quest Objective: Before the Third Ninja World War, pass the Jounin and Anbu exams, join the Anbu, and eventually become the "Anbu Team Six Leader"!]

[Main quest reward: True power.]

Chapter 6. I opened the Will of Fire and saw it was full of cannibalism.

Looking at the message that suddenly popped up in front of him, Sarutobi Ryo immediately checked it.

Turning her gaze to Hinata Ruri, the task prompt popped up in front of her again.

"I see......"

After spending a few seconds thinking and integrating the information, Sarutobi Ryo immediately came to a conclusion.

There are two types of task categories in the Fire Will system that I loaded myself.

Hinata Ruri's mission is a "side quest".

The story mission that just appeared is the "main line".

Whether it is a side quest or a main quest, there will be corresponding rewards for completing it, which is easy to understand.

Return your attention to the main thread and follow the system's instructions.

Before the Third Ninja World War, you need to join the Anbu and become the squad leader of Anbu Team Six.

Anbu...are beings darker than normal ninja.

They are required to perform many dark side tasks.

Generally speaking, an ordinary Anbu has no command authority.

One must become the captain of the An department in order to command several team members, just like Uchiha Itachi in the original work.

Further up is the monitor of the Anbu squad.

For example, Kakashi Hatake, and later Yamato and Uzuki Yugao who succeeded him.

The squad leader of an Anbu squad can command several squad leaders, who in turn command ordinary Anbu members.

The so-called "Anbu Team Six" is the Anbu team that Kakashi, Yamato, Uzuki Yugao, and even Uchiha Itachi served in later generations.

This is an ANBU class with a glorious resume.

Joining the dark side means training and also means improving your resume.

It also means being truly close to the core of Konoha, because Anbu personnel can know many secrets that ordinary ninjas cannot know.

In the original work, before Itachi defected, he warned Danzo that if he dared to touch Sasuke, he would leak all of Konoha's secrets to the enemy country.

Many times, the density of information mastered by Anbu personnel is sometimes even higher than that of the Sannin.

For example, in the original work, Jiraiya didn't know until his death that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and believed that the Nine-Tails Rebellion was a disaster caused by natural disasters.

Kakashi, who is also an Anbu member, and many other Anbu extras, know Kushina's true identity clearly.

To a certain extent, joining the Anbu means having the possibility of being promoted to various higher political positions in Konoha.

It is no wonder that no Uchiha has been allowed to join the Anbu in Konoha so far.

Only in later generations did Uchiha Itachi become the first Uchiha ninja to join the Anbu.

"that power......"

After a flash of thought in his mind, Sarutobi Ryo immediately realized the many benefits of becoming the leader of Anbu Team 6.

In addition to knowing countless secrets and being close to the core of Konoha, the power of forming a team under his command cannot be underestimated.

Only then will you truly become a part of Konoha's upper echelons and be recognized as one of their own.

"Hokage-sama..." Just then, a silver-haired ninja walked in.

"It's Sakumo."

Utane Koharu turned her gaze and looked at the person who came.

Everyone looked over together, their eyes showing respect.

Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, has a skill that surpasses the Three Ninjas. Even the Three Ninjas are dim in front of him.

His strength ranks among the top in Konoha, and he is a well-known strong man in the ninja world today.

"You've come just in time. We were just discussing the arrangements for Sarutobi Ryo and the others' Jonin exams..."

Utane Koharu blinked, it was obvious that the top management had already made arrangements for some things.

"After Namikaze Minato becomes a jonin, let your son Hatake Kakashi join his army and let him lead it, how about that?"

"Uh......"

Hatake Sakumo obviously didn't expect that the top management would make such an arrangement.

His son, Hatake Kakashi, had excellent grades and won the recognition of all the teachers in the ninja school after only half a year of enrollment.

Soon, I will take the graduation exam with senior students.

This move will also make Kakashi go down in history as the youngest graduating candidate in Konoha's history.

Or rather... a Genin.

but......

"Elder Xiaochun, this is inappropriate..."

Sweat began to form on Hatake Sakumo's forehead.

Although he is in the first echelon of Konoha, he is a powerful figure at the level of Kage.

But he has always been an ordinary ninja, neither joining the Anbu nor holding a political position.

Excellent ability is a talent, and living a carefree life is a dream.

Although Hatake Sakumo has made contributions to the village, he does not want to get involved in the turbulent political arena.

"Hmm? What's wrong with that? Do you think Namikaze Minato is unworthy of teaching your son?"

Utane Koharu frowned and started to become aggressive.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the scene before him.

It is obvious that the top management is forcing Hatake Sakumo to take sides.

With such powerful combat capability, yet he does not hold any political position, there is obviously something fishy going on.

Unlike Jiraiya, Hatake Sakumo is not a disciple of the Hokage and has almost no political connection with the upper echelons of Konoha.

How can the top management be assured?

Making Kakashi a disciple of Minato Namikaze is a way to win over and pressure Hatake Sakumo.

Since Hatake Sakumo was single and unmarried, it was natural for him to refuse.

But when he had a son, it meant he had...a soft spot.

"Power... is indeed a good thing."

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at the main quest that was shining on the system.

The road to becoming the leader of Anbu Team 6!

Without power, even someone at Hatake Sakumo's level can only be manipulated by the Konoha high-ups.

With cold sweat oozing from his forehead, Hatake Sakumo, facing the gazes of several senior officials, could not help but look to Sarutobi Hiruzen for help.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not realize the true purpose of Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo.

It is very obvious that Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En have been supporting Namikaze Minato in recent years.

It is obvious that the two intend to support Minato Namikaze to become the next Hokage.

As for Danzo, although he did not support Minato Namikaze, he was definitely planning to replace him as Hokage.
