Master, please become the Hokage

After all, the people you like have already had a child with someone else...

Looking at Nohara Rin who left in a hurry and even stumbled, Sarutobi Ryo kept staring at her back until she completely disappeared.

The so-called play hard to get.

Sometimes, speaking frankly can help solve some problems better.

After returning to the tent.

Sarutobi Ryo sat down cross-legged and began a new round of training.

After a period of comprehension of the Eight Gates, he has now opened the second, third, and fourth gates in succession.

The prerequisite for practicing the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu is to practice inhuman physical skills to maximize physical fitness.

In the original comics, Kakashi does not know the Eight Gates.

In the TV animation, Kakashi was given the ability to open the first door.

And the interesting thing is...

Even Kakashi's total value was second only to his elderly father, the Third Hokage.

His individual values ​​in some aspects are not higher than Xiao Li's.

Sarutobi Ryo was referring to...several numerical components of physical proficiency.

In this regard, Rock Lee during the Chunin Exam was even better than 27-year-old Kakashi.

Therefore, when practicing the Eight Gates, you must max out several parameters such as physical skills. This is a necessary entry requirement.

Only when your physical condition reaches a certain level can you open the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

If you don’t have the physical condition, you definitely can’t open it.

On this premise, adding the option of "cultivating the talent of the Eight Gates" is the key to whether a person can truly practice to the later stage.

In terms of Sarutobi's physical skills, all the numbers are off the charts.

There are also multiple bloodline limits to enhance physical fitness.

Currently, in terms of physical skills, he is second only to his father the Third Hokage during his peak period, and Hatake Sakumo himself.

It can be said that among all the existing ninjas in the entire Nami-konoha, Sarutobi Ryo is one of the most qualified ninjas to practice the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

Remember THE LAST theatrical animation.

Xiao Li and a group of Konoha ninjas who have practiced the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu form the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu Crane Wing Formation to welcome the meteorites falling from the sky.

Multiple people work together to directly blow up the meteorite.

From this we can see that the Eight Gates Ninjutsu is an excellent forbidden technique that can be circulated and learned by others.

Combining this information, Sarutobi Ryo naturally started attacking the "Fifth Gate".

"Before the war begins, it would be best if we could break through to the fifth gate... By the way..."

Sarutobi Ryo formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique.

More than 20 shadow clones sat around, filling the tent to the brim.

Lightning chakra flows within the bodies of these shadows.

Combined with Kakashi's own discovered techniques... Chidori stimulates the body's byproducts to activate nerves and muscles.

In addition, the Lightning Chakra pattern was deduced by analyzing one of Ai's arms.

Combining the two, you can almost create a complete set of lightning armor for your own use.

Using the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu... and superimposing the Lightning Release Chakra mode, two techniques that put a huge strain on the body, working simultaneously to increase one's strength dramatically, is what Sarutobi Ryo is doing.

Time passed quickly, and Sarutobi Ryo seized every minute and every second, practicing diligently...

Everything is for a better future...

......

Not long after, Tsunade brought back news of the negotiations.

Arriving at the Sand Village, Tsunade met the Sandaime Kazekage himself and confirmed that he was indeed still alive.

And the upper-level elders of the Sand Village, that bunch of troublemakers, were indeed cleared out.

This shows the Sand Village's determination to move towards a bright future.

As for the Fourth Kazekage Yegura, she is still on the front line, so Tsunade has not seen her.

As for the poor Luo Sha, he was also thrown to the front line, another battlefield.

It was obvious that the Third Kazekage wanted him to reflect carefully on what it takes to be a qualified Sand Village ninja.

After the meeting between the two sides, Tsunade first returned Ebizo.

Seeing that her brother was fine, Chiyo's anger subsided a lot.

Her brother's situation made her realize that there was no future if she kept fighting.

Sometimes, being a little kinder may lead to a better future.

"I thought it would be the Sandaime Hokage's son who would come..."

The Sandaime Kazekage was a little surprised.

After all, Tsunade's departure from Konoha was no secret, and many people in the ninja world knew about it.

In his opinion, this matter should be handled by the young man Sarutobi Ryo.

"However... since she is the granddaughter of the Shodaime-sama, the portion should naturally be sufficient..."

The Sandaime Kazekage affirmed Konoha's resolve.

A negotiation.

In the end...Konoha was willing to support the Sand Village in obtaining an oasis.

As for the location of the oasis...

The ninja world is so big, and there is too much uncultivated land.

There are indeed some areas near the Kingdom of Wind that can be used as oases.

However, if the Sand Village starts to develop without the consent of other major powers, it will definitely be attacked by others.

Now with Konoha's support, the Sand Village can start operating with confidence in the green land near the Land of Fire.

Seeing that Konoha was so generous, he was willing to give up his own interests.

The Sandaime Kazekage wasn't a pretentious person either.

He promised Tsunade.

As long as he lives, Konoha and Sunagakure will become a friendly country.

He doesn't know what future generations will think.

But at least you can make this promise while you are alive.

"Well then, Lord Kazekage, let's talk about joining forces to fight Iwagakure..."

Tsunade's face lit up with joy, and she immediately began a new round of secret talks.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement and decided to send troops to the battlefield to resist Iwagakure...

Chapter 86. Four-way Battle

The news of the secret connection between Konoha and Sunagakure spread back to Konoha like the wind.

Upon learning the news, the Konoha high-level officials immediately passed the message to the front line.

According to the arrangement of the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village team will be led by the Fourth Kazekage Yekura, who will personally consolidate the defense line on the front line.

As soon as Iwagakure attacks Konoha, they will take action immediately.

Because of the principle of "the lips and teeth are interdependent", the Sand Village will not sit idly by and watch Konoha being destroyed by the Iwagakure.

of course.

Even if Sunagakure and Konoha join forces, their military strength is seriously inferior to that of Iwagakure.

One thing that Konoha did not reveal to Sunagakure was... Konoha had become completely weak inside and had no successors.

The fact that Kakashi, Obito, Nohara Rin, Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, Kai, Morino Ibiki, Hoshizaki Raido, Yamashiro Aoba... and other children were sent to the battlefield to die is the most powerful evidence.

The last time, when 1000 Iwagakure ninjas invaded, Konoha chose to cut off the enemy's supply routes instead of annihilating these 1000 Iwagakure ninjas head-on.

Although Minato Namikaze successfully prevented the invasion of 1000 people.

However, this team of 1000 people suffered no losses, they just temporarily withdrew to the Iwagakure front.

The problem caused by Iwagakure's excessive military expansion is a serious shortage of supplies in the country.

Therefore, there will inevitably be a war between Iwagakure and Konoha.

As for why it’s not Yunyin.

First of all, although the Third Raikage is dead, Ai's sworn brother Killer Bee has also been constantly tempered in the battle, and finally fought with Minato Namikaze many times, and neither of them could defeat the other.

Killer Bee's title of perfect Jinchūriki gradually spread.

The ninjas from Konoha and other factions watched Killer Bee's strength grow and eventually become a perfect Jinchūriki.

Ohnoki knew it very well.

Killer Bee couldn't do anything to Minato Namikaze because he was fast.

But there comes a time when the golden flash cannot escape.

The best way to make the Flying Thunder God Technique ineffective is for Iwagakure to launch a large-scale attack on Konoha.

"All tactics changer..."

After coming out of seclusion, Sarutobi Ryo came to the command tent and followed the report from the reconnaissance team.

A large number of Iwagakure troops gathered at the border.

The mighty force of more than 1 Iwagakure was truly intimidating.

"Actually... I'm not sure..."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, looking at the map in front of him.

Not sure about something?

Minato Namikaze thought about it and immediately understood what his mentor was thinking.

Even if Sunagakure and Konoha join forces, I'm afraid... they may not be a match for Iwagakure.

The life and death of Konoha will be witnessed today.

At the last moment, Konoha will activate the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... Uzumaki Kushina.

This is something that Sarutobi Ryo did not tell Jiraiya, and Jiraiya has been kept in the dark by the Konoha high-ups until now.

And what Jiraiya was considering was...

Iwagakure has two generals who are also jinchūriki.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki... Old Murasaki, who is a little older than Ryo Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki...a man slightly older than Kakashi.

Although these two men are young, they both have made great military achievements.

In this battle, Iwagakure might have to go it alone, so let two other jinchūriki take the field.

"Don't worry, Jiraiya-sama."

Sarutobi Ryo responded immediately.

"According to the information gathered by the Anbu and the Root, Old Purple is not a perfect Jinchūriki... Han is younger, and it is even more impossible..."

As long as they are not perfect jinchūriki, their combat power will be infinitely less than that of wild tailed beasts.

Lao Zi has a bad relationship with the Four-Tails, so it will be impossible for him to become a perfect Jinchūriki in this life.
