Orochimaru was starting to panic.

Realizing that Uchiha Ryosuke intended to blow him up with so many explosive tags, he immediately begged for mercy.

"Ryoyou...no, don't do this! Please stop!!"

However, his pleas for mercy had no effect whatsoever.

After wrapping Orochimaru's body with tens of thousands of explosive tags, Uchiha Ryosuke began to leap backward.

And he had a devilish, wicked smile on his face.

"Uchiha Ryosuke!!"

"I will fully support you in becoming Hokage!!"

Orochimaru's terrified voice came from afar.

However, this doesn't change anything.

After Uchiha Ryosuke moved a certain distance away, he still decisively detonated all the explosive tags on Orochimaru's body.

"Boom!!"

A massive explosion illuminated the night sky before dawn with a dazzling burst of light.

The earth and sky trembled incessantly, and at the same time, a huge fireball rose into the air, rapidly expanding and spreading in all directions.

The flames, mixed with the powerful shockwave from the explosion, instantly destroyed everything within a radius of several kilometers.

Seeing the exaggerated explosive power, Uchiha Ryosuke secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It seems we went a bit too far; the power of the explosive tags wasn't well controlled..."

"Orochimaru, he probably won't just get blown up like that, will he?"

After muttering to himself for a while, Uchiha Ryosuke pursed his lips and tilted his head: "Probably not, after all, he's an unkillable cockroach."

After saying that, he turned and quickly walked away.

Having dealt with Orochimaru who had been tracking them, Uchiha Ryosuke began to travel at full speed.

As dawn broke, he finally arrived at the capital of the Fire Kingdom.

Uchiha Ryosuke did not rush into the capital. Instead, he used his superhuman sensory abilities to explore the entire city.

He found no trace of Hiruzen Sarutobi or Minato Namikaze here.

"It seems they have already left."

Uchiha Ryosuke quickly located the exact location of the Fire Country Daimyo and went directly there.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire had just finished dealing with work matters.

Right now, I'm relaxing in a hot spring with a group of beautiful women.

The steaming hot spring air rose gently, and the lord, surrounded by a group of beautiful women, leaned comfortably against the shore, slowly tilting his head back with a look of pure enjoyment.

However, the next second he was suddenly startled and almost jumped out of the pool.

"Who, who are you??"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire stared in disbelief at the strange man standing on the shore, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the other person was wearing a headband from Konoha Village on their forehead, which made him relax a little.

"hateful..."

"What on earth are you Konoha ninja doing? Why did you come to me without permission?"

The obese and bloated daimyo of the Land of Fire was furious after regaining his senses.

His voice also attracted the attention of the guards outside.

The guards rushed in at that moment.

"Lord Daimyo, are you alright?"

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you planning to assassinate the daimyo?"

A group of people made a lot of noise and quickly surrounded Uchiha Ryosuke.

Uchiha Ryosuke withdrew his gaze from admiring the beautiful women in the hot spring and looked at the daimyo of the Land of Fire with amusement.

"They really know how to enjoy life. No wonder everyone craves the power at the top..."

He said with a half-smile, seemingly enjoying the moment.

Upon hearing these seemingly sarcastic words, the daimyo of the Land of Fire flew into a rage.

"Although you're a ninja from Konoha, it seems you're not here for friendly exchanges. Seize this assassin who intends to kill!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire directly assigned Uchiha Ryosuke the label of an assassin.

This caused Uchiha Ryosuke, who had originally intended to have a pleasant conversation with the other party, to instantly turn cold.

The guards of the surrounding daimyo, one by one, received the order and rushed over without saying a word, intending to capture Uchiha Ryosuke.

However, in the next second, they suddenly seemed to be hit by some kind of attack, and one after another they fell down.

In the blink of an eye, only two or three strong samurai guards remained standing by the hot spring pool.

"You, you... what did you do to them?"

One of the bald samurai, looking around nervously at his companions who were lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back, quickly questioned Uchiha Ryosuke.

The other two samurai guards also looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Although they didn't know what had happened, their blood and qi were churning, their hearts were racing, and they felt extremely uncomfortable and anxious.

"You can actually stand up?"

Uchiha Ryosuke was a little surprised.

In a flash, he easily arrived in front of the warrior guards and quickly took them down one by one.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Now, all of the guards of the Fire Country Daimyo have been eliminated.

The obese body, still soaking in the pool, stared in disbelief at the scene before it was revealed.

"Who...who exactly are you??"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire asked in a fearful voice, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Uchiha Ryosuke."

"You, you're Uchiha Ryosuke??"

Upon hearing the name, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression of disbelief.

"It seems you've heard of me, that makes things easier."

"I came here to give you this."

Uchiha Ryosuke took out his handwritten letter of recommendation and handed it to the other party.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire hurriedly climbed ashore, reached out and took a look, and his expression immediately turned strange.

He looked up at Uchiha Ryosuke, who was standing on the shore looking down at him, and hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but not saying anything.

The letter contained very little.

This means that Konoha's elder advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, recommended the village's talented young man, Ryosuke Uchiha, to become the Fourth Hokage.

The content is fine; the problem is with the handwriting.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire frequently corresponded with the Hokage and advisors of Konoha, and occasionally even met and talked with them.

He not only recognized these people's handwriting, but also knew their habits.

The letter, in terms of both word choice and handwriting, was completely different from the habits of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu that I was familiar with.

In other words, this letter is fake.

Moreover, it is highly likely that the genius Uchiha ninja in front of us forged it himself.

However, the daimyo of the Land of Fire dared not reveal his name directly.

As expected, Uchiha Ryosuke spoke up again: "The two advisors of Konoha Village have agreed to nominate me as the Fourth Hokage. Although I am not a person who likes this kind of thing, since the villagers have high hopes for me, I do not want to let them down."

"Yes, but..."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire was already certain that the letter was forged by Uchiha Ryosuke himself.

He forged a letter of recommendation to recommend himself for the position of Hokage.

This is truly the first time I've encountered something like this.

"However, your Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has decided to do his utmost to nominate the village's hero, Minato Namikaze, as the Fourth Hokage. The cabinet ministers and I have all agreed to this."

"They returned to Konoha yesterday with the letter of appointment..."

Uchiha Ryosuke had already anticipated this outcome.

At this moment, after hearing the words of the Fire Country Daimyo, he simply smiled and revealed a somewhat cold expression.

"So, what are your thoughts now, Daimyo?"

"This is a tricky situation. How about this: you rewrite a statement, rescind yesterday's appointment decision, and announce that the position of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village is handed over to me."

"I'll bring your handwritten letter of appointment so I can return directly to Konoha to take up my post."

"Yes, but..."

"Why? Don't you want to?"

Uchiha Ryosuke's face instantly darkened, as if he were shrouded in darkness, his expression becoming terrifyingly gloomy.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire looked up and his enormous body trembled in fright.

He glanced around again, at the elite guards he had personally selected, all of whom had been instantly killed.

After careful consideration, the daimyo of the Land of Fire happily agreed.

"In that case, I'll rewrite the letter of appointment for you, but please allow me to get out of the pool first..."

"Okay, then come up here."

Uchiha Ryosuke turned around with satisfaction: "I'll be waiting for you outside."

Having received the letter of appointment and statement personally written by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Ryosuke immediately returned to Konoha.

In fact, for him, these things were all dispensable.

Only those from Konoha would fear the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

After all, the entire village's economy is heavily dependent on the Land of Fire.

But for Uchiha Ryosuke personally, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was nothing but a fart, a chamber pot.

When needed, I can take it out and use it myself.

When you don't need it, you can simply kick it under the bed and hide it.

However, the process of appointing oneself as Hokage must be followed, and procedural justice is essential.

Without this letter of appointment, he and the Uchiha clan would be considered rebels against the village.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village may not be able to maintain peace in the future.

Uchiha Ryosuke did not want to create unnecessary complications or bring uncertain risks to his plans.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi were also on their way back to Konoha.

Looking at the letter of appointment personally written by the daimyo of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze looked extremely troubled.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, was living a leisurely life.

He walked ahead with his hands behind his back, looking quite relaxed.

"Watergate."

He suddenly spoke softly.

"Due to my command errors, the village suffered heavy casualties in this Shinobi World War. Now, I am resigning to take responsibility, and you are the best choice to take over the position of Hokage."

"Whether it's strength or popularity, you are truly deserving. Now it's not just my decision anymore; even the Daimyo thinks so."
