Master, please become the Hokage

[Fallen leaves return to their roots...the true will of fire! ]

The system prompt suddenly popped out from the retina of my right eye.

In the pitch-black underground, this line of prompts is extremely conspicuous.

[Fire Will System... New features loading! ]

【Loading successful! 】

[Night vision module... activated! ]

The darkness before my eyes suddenly disappeared.

In the right eye's field of vision, everything suddenly became extremely clear, as if it were daytime.

"interesting."

Sarutobi Ryo had a feeling that this Will of Fire system, although it was called a system, seemed more like... a technological product that was ahead of its time.

"So......"

hum!

As all the runes on the sarcophagus flashed slightly, the spell that turned back to black suddenly disappeared, and the barrier trap of the sarcophagus was lifted.

On this side, while Shan Zhonghui was still sensing, she found that the young master had left the side of the sarcophagus and turned to walk out.

In the pitch-black darkness, the young master walked straight past the tomb entrance and outside as if he was walking during the day.

"Master?"

Not only the tomb chamber but also the corridor outside was plunged into darkness.

The ninjas in the dark blood mist had no idea that danger was coming.

Just as they were about to light the tinder they were carrying, a dark figure stood silently in front of them.

A quick glance.

The night vision ability of the right eye clearly observed the number of enemies present.

Just like a thermal imager, different objects and organisms emit different amounts of heat.

Even the shivering little mouse in the corner of the wall turned into a rainbow-colored heat shape in Sarutobi Ryo's vision.

"1, 2, 3..."

In the narrow underground passage, Sarutobi Ryo's voice rang out.

"?!"

The hairs of the Kirigakure ninjas who were taking out their fire starters stood on end. Before they could react, Sarutobi Ryo's right fist had already struck out like an angry dragon.

There was a loud bang, and the ninja in the blood mist was hit and sent flying by a punch.

But the imagined scene of the flesh being shattered by one punch did not occur.

"With my current strength, a single punch from me is enough to shatter the chest of an ordinary Chunin... As expected of a ninja in the blood mist, his overall quality far surpasses that of the enemies from smaller ninja villages like the Hidden Sky Village..."

After a flash of thought in his mind, Sarutobi Ryo took a step forward, and this time... he would not hold back.

When he attacked with all his strength, all he could hear was the sound of bones cracking in Sarutobi Ryo's right arm.

The muscles suddenly swelled and tensed to the extreme.

The attack location was no longer the chest or other places, but... directly aimed at the temple of the head!

Like a big hammer, the pendulum hit the side of the next person's head hard.

This punch was so powerful that even a 1-meter square rock would be smashed to pieces.

A rock with a diameter of 1 meter falling from a height of about 6 to 10 meters is enough to kill an ordinary Chunin.

Then there was a bang.

The enemy's facial features trembled, his eyes shook, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his whole body flew to the side as if he had been hit by a flying bullet in the brain.

"!!"

However, the death of their colleagues further stimulated the brutal personalities of the remaining few blood mist ninjas.

They had already taken advantage of the chaos to light a tinder, and inserted the torch into the crack in the wall. The flames immediately illuminated the entire passage.

Then, they all gripped their blades tightly.

Sarutobi Ryo retreated slowly, while forming seals with his hands.

"Water Style... Water Wave!"

The most basic water escape technique, C-level Water Wave, has no killing power.

It is a basic technique that every water-style ninja must practice.

Generally speaking, this technique is only used for practice and cultivation, and at most for auxiliary purposes such as extinguishing fires or triggering certain mechanisms.

However, this seemingly harmless technique directly extinguished the torches on the wall.

As the corridor fell into darkness again, the underground became Sarutobi Ryo's home turf once again...

Chapter 12. Seven Ninja Swordsmen·Ringo Ayuri!

Generally speaking, normal ninjas do not have night vision capabilities.

Only ninja families that possess eye techniques that can directly capture the flow of human chakra...such as the Uchiha Sharingan, the Hyuga Byakugan, etc., can remain calm in such a situation.

And now, there is also the existence of Ryo Sarutobi.

Under the thermal imaging and night vision capabilities of the right eye, continuous explosions and screams rang out in the passage.

Relying on his amazing physical fitness and taijutsu skills, Sarutobi Ryo quickly killed most of the enemies.

After all, we can see everything clearly, and the enemies trapped in the darkness are no different from blind people, so the result is obvious.

"Konoha's great whirlwind!"

Sarutobi Ryo flew up and kicked across, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, kicking three enemies in the temples in succession.

With a full-strength attack, he knocked down the last three people.

Then, Sarutobi Ryo retreated.

"Huh...huh..."

It is very energy-consuming for a person to continuously perform physical techniques with all his strength.

Ryo Sarutobi is no exception.

Before sweat broke out on his forehead, Sarutobi Ryo had already retreated into the tomb.

On this side, Baiyun Yeshan had just lit the tinder, and before he could react, Sarutobi Ryo had already started collecting the remains.

After sealing Kato Dan's bones into the scroll he carried with him using the storage sealing technique, Sarutobi Ryo turned around again.

"go!"

With his night vision that is not afraid of darkness, Sarutobi Ryo can move freely underground, and it is only a matter of time before he gets out.

When Baiyun Yeshan saw the corpses scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but look surprised: "Were all these guys in the blood mist defeated by Master Sarutobi Ryo?"

He recalled the sounds of fighting and low shouts in the tomb just now. In such a short period of time, Master Sarutobi Ryo had actually taken care of everyone.

He is worthy of being the son of the Third Hokage, and it is true that like father like son.

At this moment, Shan Zhonghui suddenly stopped, sensed for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Master! The other enemies in the blood mist are rushing towards this side from various other passages!"

It is obvious that the enemy also has perception-type ninjas who can clearly sense what is happening here.

At this time, all the Kirigakure ninjas blocking other passages received the news and were planning to completely encircle this area.

"Approximately how many people are there?"

Sarutobi Ryo asked without turning his head as he quickened his pace.

Yamanaka Hui: "6, 12... and 18 more people!"

"18 people..."

Thinking of the six Kirigakure ninjas who died here.

In other words, the opponent was divided into four teams of six people, and the original total number of people was 4.

"What are the chances of getting out?"

Sarutobi Ryo quickened his pace again.

Yamanaka Hui: "In the best case scenario, we'll run into one of these groups."

"That's it."

Sarutobi Ryo signaled everyone to follow and then started to sprint at full speed.

......

Not long after, everyone saw the light again and came out from underground.

As soon as I walked out, I found eight ninjas in the blood mist with unfriendly eyes, looking at me with bloodthirsty faces.

The leading female ninja was short in stature, with her brown-red hair combed into a hairstyle that looked like upward-pointing rabbit ears, which was very eye-catching.

Even more conspicuous are the two sharp blades with fangs on her back.

Baiyun Yeshan's pupils shrank, and he blurted out: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen... the wielder of the Thunder Blade·Ya... the genius girl of the Hidden Mist·Ringo Ayuri!"

The name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is unrivaled in the ninja world.

In the Hidden Mist Village, their combat power is at the top level.

Perhaps only the Mizukage, the two Jinchūriki, the patriarchs of the major bloodline limit families... and other special people can compete with him.

During the assessment mission for the Jonin, Bai Yunyeshan actually encountered the most powerful guy. His eyes immediately became extremely solemn.

As the youngest ninja among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he is also a latecomer.

Ringo Ayuri is known as a genius girl.

But this does not affect her strength at all.

It is said that she is the most powerful holder of the Thunder Blade in all generations, and her talent surpasses that of any previous master of the sword.

What's even more interesting is...

"Oh? Isn't this the Sandaime Hokage's son... Master Ryo Sarutobi?"

Ringo Ayuri looked up and down at the team, and finally set her sights on Sarutobi Ryo.

The forehead is naturally a Konoha forehead protector.

There is a whirlpool pattern painted on the back of the ninja uniform, representing Konoha's commemoration of the Uzumaki allies.

The clan crest printed on the sleeves confirmed Ryo Sarutobi's affiliation with the Sarutobi clan.

And that very handsome face, which was 70% similar to the young Sarutobi Hiruzen, made Ringo Ayuri completely certain of his identity.

As a peer of Ryo Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

Ringo Ayuri's reputation as a genius resounded throughout Kirigakure.

There is never a shortage of geniuses in the ninja world.

There are many talented people in each ninja village, like the starry sky.

When Ringo Ayuri first met Sarutobi Ryo, her tone was somewhat mocking.

Because she has seen too many useless second-generations.

Although the world has a popular theory of bloodline that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.

But there are indeed some second-generation people who are worthy of contempt and fail to inherit the qualifications...and even the character of their predecessors.

This has caused a lot of criticism.

In Ringo Ayuri's opinion, among her peers, Golden Flash is the most famous.
