Master, please become the Hokage

Page 126

The best way is undoubtedly to cut the Gordian knot.

Iwagakure...

Unlike other villages, this is a militaristic ninja village.

Their military law is harsh and the class structure is clear.

From top to bottom, level by level, it is a bit like some countries in the previous life.

As long as the enemy commander can be killed on the battlefield, their troops will be in chaos.

Without a disciplined force, how much of a threat would there be?

"Even if it succeeds, the opponent's ninjutsu is too much..."

Jiraiya sighed, feeling very anxious.

No matter what, there are too many people in Iwagakure.

"Master Jiraiya, although we are short on manpower, we can make up for it with summoned beasts..."

Sarutobi Ryo offered advice.

"Hehe..." At this moment, Orochimaru opened the curtain and walked in, "Jiraiya, Sarutobi Ryo is right..."

Chapter 82. Tsunade Returns to the Village

The numerical disadvantage is a foregone conclusion.

Thinking about how to make up for it as much as possible is what a commander should do.

"My Manda... plus your Bunta..."

Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was very much looking forward to the upcoming battle.

This is also a stage where you will be able to show your talents.

It's not just Minato Namikaze who is eyeing the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Orochimaru always had a mysterious confidence before he was actually eliminated.

However, the path Orochimaru in this world ultimately chose is different from the one in the original work.

Because in this world, Hatake Sakumo is not dead.

In the original work... Orochimaru never took Minato Namikaze seriously, which is why he felt unbelievable and felt a huge psychological gap after being eliminated.

On the other hand, Konoha White Fang has always been superior to the three ninjas.

Orochimaru was quite convinced by this.

After all, Hatake Sakumo is a few years older than him, became famous just as early, and is also a genius.

In addition to his outstanding military achievements, he does not need any momentum from the Konoha high-level officials.

Finally, there is Hatake Sakumo's gentle personality. He never offends others. Even Orochimaru would not have any opinion about such a good guy.

So, in this battle, Orochimaru seized the opportunity.

He believed that the upcoming battle would be a good opportunity for him to demonstrate his strength.

If he could accomplish great deeds and become famous again, then he might have a chance to become the Fourth Hokage.

"Orochimaru......"

Jiraiya was quite happy to see his friend think this way.

"Hehe, I need to prepare some things carefully, so I won't chat with you guys..." Orochimaru turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

This may be the last chance to show one's abilities, and the next battle may well affect the course of the entire Ninja World War, and even the survival of Konoha.

After all, more than 1 Iwagakure cannot be underestimated.

"Actually... I also have a spirit beast..."

Sarutobi Ryo turned his gaze back to Jiraiya.

"Master Jiraiya..."

As Sarutobi Ryo explained the situation of the slug, Jiraiya's eyes quickly lit up.

"Slug..." Jiraiya's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.

When talking about slugs, Tsunade comes to mind.

I have been away from the village for many years and I don’t know what happened to Tsunade.

Even Ryo Sarutobi hadn't anticipated that in this time and space where the plot had completely changed, some things would continue to undergo a butterfly effect change...

......

same moment.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen met an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.

"Tsunade..."

He stared at the bold beauty in front of him with complicated eyes.

Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, is the granddaughter of the Shodaime-sama and also his apprentice.

"Humph......"

Tsunade stood in the office and looked around.

I found out that Utane Koharu, Mitomon En, and Danzo were all there.

At this critical juncture, the frequent meetings of Konoha's top leaders are naturally not a good thing.

"I've heard the details from other people..."

Tsunade was followed by Kato Dan's niece Shizune.

Over the years, Shizune has served as Tsunade's follower and half-apprentice.

That year, Tsunade left the village, always brooding over the death of her brother and lover.

Then I wandered around like this for many years.

until......

She accidentally visited the ruins of the Whirlpool Country and found that the barrier left behind had been broken.

Tsunade was initially shocked and angry.

Every year, she returns to the village at least once to visit her relatives.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit relatives, she found members of the Senju clan and asked about the details.

Only then did I learn that Kato Dan's grave... had been moved back by the old man's eldest son, Sarutobi Ryo.

He said...

The ninjas of Konoha should return to their roots...

Tsunade then went to the cemetery and saw her lover's grave as expected.

Although it was a newly built grave, it was placed very appropriately next to the tombstone of the rope tree.

The two most important people in my life are buried here.

Afterwards, Tsunade learned more about Sarutobi Ryo from other people.

Time passed, and after a few years, Sarutobi Ryo's name became more and more famous in the ninja world.

He accomplished one great thing after another and witnessed the end time and time again.

These deeds touched Tsunade deeply.

Might Dai...and then there's Uchiha Obito, the young ninja of the Uchiha clan with the Sharingan...

Next up is Fugaku...

It is very likely that next time it will be another acquaintance, or a stranger, but it does not matter whether they are young or old.

They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to contribute to the village.

The purpose is to inherit the will of fire.

So many years have passed, and there are still many people who stubbornly persist.

After observing and going through a fierce psychological struggle, Tsunade finally decided... to return to the village to help at the moment of life and death of Konoha.

"Tsunade, I'm really happy that you're back..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and let go of the burden in his heart.

"But...your hemophobia..."

"If you want to overcome that kind of thing, there's always a way..." Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that hemophobia was just a psychological problem.

If only... I could witness it again.

The backs of the true practitioners of the will of fire.

Then, hemophobia can definitely be cured.

Tsunade was very convinced of this.

"I won't say any more nonsense. I'll go to the battlefield immediately..."

Tsunade decided to leave for the Iwagakure battlefield immediately.

You never know when Iwagakure will attack.

"No, wait a moment."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression returned to calm.

"Tsunade, I have a task for you to do..."

Tsunade: "What mission?"

"Hokage-sama..."

The next moment, a skinny middle-aged man walked in from outside.

This person is none other than Ebizo who has been under house arrest for many days!

As the chief of staff of Sunagakure and the head of the intelligence department, Ebizo, after analyzing the situation, is well aware of the principle that if one's lips are gone, the other's teeth will be cold.

The Third Kazekage has already brought peace to the Sand Village and eradicated the pests.

Then there is no need to continue fighting with Konoha.

Now...the common enemy of both sides is Iwagakure.

If Konoha is destroyed, you, Sand Village, won't be able to escape.

Now, only by uniting the two sides can the situation be reversed.

The task that Sarutobi Hiruzen assigned to Tsunade was to go to Sunagakure to formally cease fire with Sunagakure and conclude a secret treaty.

Both sides fought together.

In this way... we can barely deal with the large number of Iwagakure.

"Thanks to that kid Sarutobi Ryo for saving Ebizo's life..."

Utane Koharu and Sarutobi Biwako looked at each other and nodded.

When we went deep behind enemy lines, it was Sarutobi Ryo who said...that we should spare Ebizo's life.

Now, it comes in handy.
