Master, please become the Hokage

He had actually guessed his eldest son's choice.

"It just so happens that Tsunade has returned to the village. If you have time, go ask her for advice..."

"of course."

Sarutobi nodded.

The image of Tsunade, the explosive queen, suddenly appeared in his mind.

She hasn't been seen since Kato Dan's death.

It's time to meet up.

Chapter 98. Tsunade, she is so generous

The residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.

The Senju, who has been destroyed countless times in various fan fictions, is actually alive and well in the Naruto world.

This can be seen from the official novel.

However, without the reincarnation of Ashura Chakra, the Senju clan gradually declined and never produced a decent master again.

In other words, the Senju clan has actually been reaping the benefits of being reincarnated as gods.

When there are no gods to rely on, you will naturally become like everyone else.

When the tide recedes, everyone will know who is swimming naked.

Senju has completely become a small background figure, and his power is no longer as great as before due to the changes in the times.

It's just that they are numerous and powerful, barely maintaining their basic support. They can be found in every department, at the top, middle and grassroots levels.

Sarutobi Ryo arrived at the Senju clan's residence. The house, which he had not seen for a long time, had been cleaned up and looked presentable.

Needless to say, it must have been Jingyin who did it.

Because Tsunade was spoiled and became willful and capricious, she would definitely not do such things.

Sand... Sand... Sand...

Shizune was sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard with a broom.

Sarutobi Ryo's appearance made her look surprised: "Master Ryo?!"

She didn't expect that someone would come to visit, and it was Master Sarutobi Ryo.

Shizune is about the same age as Kakashi.

5 years younger than Sarutobi Ryo.

Sarutobi Ryo looked Shizune over.

Well, no features.

And having no characteristics may be the characteristic of this character.

The new Baji in Gintama at least has the settings of complaining and wearing glasses, but this Jingyin... is just an ordinary passerby.

"Is Princess Tsunade at home?" Sarutobi Ryo went straight to the point and stated his visit directly.

“Yes, yes…that’s it…”

Shizune glanced back at the house.

A smell of alcohol wafted out from inside.

Needless to say, they must have bought some good wine and food and started enjoying themselves.

When Sarutobi Ryo entered the house and looked at the living room that he had not seen for many years, the figure of Senju Nawaki flashed through his mind.

"Oh... that little brat from back then has grown up to be quite a powerful figure..."

Tsunade smiled at Sarutobi Ryo.

The follower behind his brother has now become a powerful figure.

Sarutobi Ryo thought to himself, I am good in many ways.

Looking at Tsunade in front of him, Sarutobi Ryo couldn't help but recall the past.

At that time, it was Senju Nawaki who took care of her sister.

"Lady Tsunade, long time no see."

Sarutobi Ryo sat down and took a look at the food and drinks on the table.

Jingyin washed her hands, came over and helped pour the wine.

When it was Sarutobi Ryo's turn, he politely declined, saying that he followed the three ninja commandments and did not drink.

"It's still the same as it was back then..."

Tsunade casually picked up the wine glass and felt a sense of emotion in her heart.

My brother is gone.

But the ninja who inherited his will is still there.

Inspired by the deeds of Ryo Sarutobi, Sakumo Hatake, Might Dai and others, Tsunade was able to change her mind and resolve her emotional issues.

She came back for her own purpose.

That is... changing Konoha!

All the things in the past are still remembered in my heart.

She was very dissatisfied with some of the practices of the top management.

Now, the possibility of Hatake Sakumo becoming Hokage is an opportunity to change everything.

At least, make certain things change according to her will.

Compared to those stubborn old fogies, the new Hokage is more receptive to advice from others.

Tsunade thought so.

only......

There was one thing that puzzled her.

Her grandmother... Uzumaki Mito, reminded her more than once to be careful of Sarutobi Ryo.

Because Uzumaki Mito, who has the ability to sense malice, can clearly distinguish people's malice.

Human beings have both good and evil sides.

But...some people's evil is particularly great.

Uchiha Madara, Shimura Danzo, Orochimaru, Sarutobi Ryo.

These four people.

He is the ninja with the most evil thoughts in his heart that Uzumaki Mito has ever seen.

Among them...a person whose evil thoughts and good thoughts are half and half, but equally powerful, is named Senju Tobirama, who is an exception.

And she could see in Sarutobi Ryo's heart the purest and boundless evil.

This reminder was given again after Tsunade returned to the village.

Uzumaki Mito hopes to support Namikaze Minato and let him become Hokage.

Because Minato Namikaze's heart is full of kindness, only people like him can make this village a better place.

so......

Tsunade was hesitant about who to support.

As one of the returning Sannin, Tsunade has the ability to lead the Senju clan and even call on the entire Konoha.

After all, the purity of this bloodline is here.

In terms of pedigree, no one can compare to Hashirama Senju's granddaughter.

One of the reasons why Sarutobi Ryo came here was to get Tsunade's support.

Whenever Tsunade speaks, there will be a large number of jonin who support her opinion.

This has the potential to significantly influence the Hokage election.

"Sarutobi Ryo, let me get this straight to the point... should I trust you to make the village a better place?"

Tsunade's eyes were burning, more serious than ever before.

It was so solemn that Jingyin couldn't help but wipe her forehead.

"There was a man who was addicted to gambling. Even though he was a ninja, he couldn't break his gambling habit..."

Sarutobi Ryo did not answer directly, but looked at the lottery ticket on the corner of the table.

"Uh uh..." Tsunade was instantly defeated and her expression immediately became very embarrassed.

"There was a man who made many great contributions to Konoha and devoted himself to it, yet he often went to places of entertainment and drank wine..."

Tsunade:"......"

"There's another person who appears to be a genius, but in reality has a very dark personality and is unpopular. He's complacent and doesn't realize it..."

"It's Orochimaru..."

Tsunade muttered quietly.

Three Ninjas.

Porn, gambling and drugs.

"Everyone has flaws, no one is perfect... Even the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, has both good and evil sides. That's why my father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzo inherited his left and right sides respectively..."

Sarutobi Ryo raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful Tsunade.

Time has passed. After all these years, Tsunade has lost the last bit of her youthfulness and become very charming and mature.

And when it comes to dressing, because she is more relaxed, the words "turbulent" and "magnificent" can describe it.

"I admit that I do have a lot of darkness in my heart. But I am also the heir of the will of fire, and I have inherited Master Nawaki's dream... which is... to become Hokage."

Sarutobi Ryo's tone was firm, his eyes shining.

My dream is to become the Fifth Hokage and practice the true will of fire!

As for the darkness in one's heart...it does not hinder the understanding and execution of the will of fire.

"Only when there is darkness in one's heart can one understand the importance of light... To me, Master Nawaki is like the sun. Tsunade-sama, isn't that right?"

Sarutobi Ryo appealed to Tsunade's emotions and reason, and used truthful words to directly convince her.

"Good boy... I haven't seen you for many years, and you seem to have become much more eloquent... Let's eat..."

Tsunade picked up her chopsticks, raised her eyebrows, and directly invited Sarutobi Ryo to eat.

This also means that she agrees with Sarutobi Ryo's statement.

No one is perfect.

Everyone has some flaws and shortcomings.

But as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, there's no problem.

Tsunade judges others by her own standards and estimates Sarutobi Ryo by her own standards.

But she didn't know.

The darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart was far heavier than she had imagined.

"Princess Tsunade..."

Sarutobi Ryo took the chopsticks and glared at Tsunade in front of him.

Take in that beautiful face and nice figure.

And in the near future, Sarutobi Ryo was sure that other places would be included...
