Master, please become the Hokage

"Itachi's talent... has never been seen since the village was founded. His talent even surpasses mine and Minato Namikaze..."

Sarutobi Ryo directly gave Itachi a very high evaluation.

The fact that Uchiha Fugaku replaced the Third Raikage had already frightened Utane Koharu and the others.

A tiger father has no dog sons.

They had no doubt that Uchiha Fugaku's son... would be able to reach the same heights in the future.

If that's the case.

This means that Uchiha Itachi’s strength can equal the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails.

Naturally, everyone knew what this potential meant.

"Itachi... has the talent to shoulder the responsibilities of the Uchiha clan, and... the talent to become Hokage."

Sarutobi Ryo thinks.

Among the prime generation, the most suitable person to be Hokage is Hatake Sakumo. There is absolutely no problem with that.

And among the younger generation, the most suitable person to be Hokage is me. That's also fine.

Finally... the new generation. Among them, the most suitable one to be Hokage is Itachi.

Sarutobi Ryo believes that whether it is Kakashi, Asuma, not to mention Kurenai Yuhi and others... their talents are not as good as Itachi's.

In the original work, Kakashi can become Hokage, why can't the more outstanding Itachi?

When you meet, use Amaterasu, and when you launch a sneak attack, use the Ten-Fist Sword.

If he could open his eyes, Itachi would undoubtedly be one of the strongest Kage.

Itachi's only problem is that he has less chakra.

This is the same as Kakashi.

However, Itachi is a member of the Uchiha clan and can transplant Hashirama's cells to become Chatara.

That way you can use the Sharingan at will without putting any burden on your body.

As for the way to open the kaleidoscope, there is always a way.

Even before he opened the Mangekyō, Itachi's talent was completely superior to Orochimaru's.

In the original work, this was something Orochimaru admitted himself.

"Well, Itachi does have this talent..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen echoed.

Fugaku's son must also have the qualities of a strong man.

After all, this is a world of bloodline theory.

"I'm not asking about talent..." Utane Koharu looked unhappy.

My opinion of Sarutobi Ryo had just changed, but now this incident happened.

"The Will of Fire, huh? By learning from him and following me... and everyone else, Itachi will become one of the best Konoha ninjas..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at Itachi beside him and said calmly.

As long as you are nurtured enough, why worry about not having the will of fire?

Chapter 107. Sarutobi Hiruzen is happy to be a master

The so-called will of fire refers to a person's intention to implement a certain idea.

Of course, different people interpret the Will of Fire in completely different ways.

During the time of Hashirama Senju, he built villages, protected children, and prevented them from going to the battlefield. This was the original will of fire.

Madara recognized this dream and joined hands with Hashirama Senju.

Watching the children live and work in peace and contentment.

The reason why Hashirama Senju and Madara later had a disagreement was that their minds were corrupted by power.

Even though Senju Tobirama instigated and let Senju Hashirama become the first generation, he prevented the evil Uchiha from coming to power.

However, Hashirama Senju discovered Madara eavesdropping outside the window, pretended not to see it, and agreed with his brother's statement.

later.

Madara expressed his intention to leave Konoha.

Hashirama Senju, who has already become Hokage, said that he needed Madara, and as long as Madara worked hard, he would become the second generation sooner or later.

However, Uchiha Madara already knew what the Senju brothers were thinking.

This... is the essence of the split between him and Madara.

Later, Senju Tobirama became the second generation and continued to turn the Uchiha into an evil clan.

Use means to sanction the Uchiha and prevent them from entering the power center of Konoha.

After these operations, the status of the Uchiha clan declined seriously.

From one of the founders of the village, he became a county magistrate, a low-ranking official.

Later, people like Utane Koharu who inherited Senju Tobirama's will continued to carry out his will.

His old father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, inherited the bright side of Senju Tobirama.

The dark side was inherited by Danzo and his companions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to change the status quo, but he couldn't openly refute it.

One objection.

Utane Koharu and the others will bring up Senju Tobirama... the previous Hokage.

As long as you dare to disobey, you will be accused of having a weak will, disobeying the previous Hokage, etc.

Every time Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to change something, he was forced to stop for this reason.

He is a person who is powerless and wants to change, but due to the limitations of the times, personal circumstances and thoughts, he does not really know how to change.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen had received nine years of compulsory education and studied politics...

Oh, Sarutobi Ryo knew that people in this world did not study politics, and there was no such course as politics.

Politics belongs only to those in power.

It is something that is passed down orally and taught by example.

So...most people in this world, when faced with a problem, will only feel sad, or become helpless and furious.

But I just can't think of a way to solve the problem.

Nagato is one of the best among them.

At least they came up with a peace theory similar to the nuclear threat.

On the other hand, Uchiha Madara, Obito with a tube inserted in the back of his head, The Matrix...what were those things.

The world needs to change.

It is also urgently needed... for someone to fulfill the true will of fire.

The rise of Hatake Sakumo was the very beginning.

Then, Sarutobi Ryo will become the next Hokage.

Then, he passed the baton to Itachi, making him the sixth generation.

The management of three Hokage and decades of changes are enough to change the world into a different place.

Sarutobi Ryo certainly knew that each generation had its own things to do.

There are some things I can't remember.

We must proceed step by step, pass on the baton through multiple generations, and let time prove everything.

Therefore, the thoughts of Sarutobi Ryo, who has lofty ambitions in his heart, are not something that frogs in the well like Utane Koharu can understand.

The reason why Utane Koharu and the others are currently causing trouble is not because of Itachi's talent.

But it’s because of the sensitive political reasons of Uchiha.

In Konoha, if you are told you can do it, you can do it, and if you are not, that's fine too.

Hiring people for positions has nothing to do with their talents.

From here we can clearly see the phenomenon of corruption.

Of course, politics is inevitably accompanied by corruption, because human hearts are like this, there is always a dark side.

But human hearts also have a kind side.

Always show the good.

Sarutobi Ryo possesses both the light of Senju Nawase and a darkness that is incomparable to anyone else in this world.

Sarutobi Ryo, a two-sided person, fully understands how to manage and change the world.

"I admire Itachi's talent very much..."

Sarutobi Ryo changed the subject and started practicing Tai Chi.

Reaching out and patting Itachi's head, Sarutobi Ryo looked at the consultants again.

"If you, Koharu-sama... can find a little fellow who is more talented than Itachi, then I will not hesitate to adopt him as my adopted son..."

“This isn’t a question of talent at all!”

Utane Koharu immediately spoke, but then stopped abruptly.

If it’s not a question of talent, then what is the problem?

Sarutobi Ryo looked at Utane Koharu.

Please speak, Elder Xiaochun.

It was only now that Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Danzo realized that Sarutobi Ryo...was because his father was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

I don't have enough understanding of the fact that the Uchiha clan is an evil clan.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always been close to the Uchiha clan, and considers the Uchiha clan to be companions and comrades-in-arms. Naturally, it is impossible for him to instill in Sarutobi Ryo something...that they all already know.

Naturally, it is impossible to pass on the will of Senju Tobirama.

broken......

Too late...

"In short, I don't agree with this." Utane Koharu said she disagreed.

"Elder Xiaochun, you are neither my mother nor my master, so I'm afraid you have no right to say whether you agree or disagree."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at Utane Koharu's face and said lightly.

Elder Koharu, I am Itachi’s adoptive father.

Sarutobi Ryo, you're going to regret this! ...Of course, Utane Koharu wouldn't say that.

After all, in her opinion, Sarutobi Ryo is one of her own.

But adopting Itachi as his adopted son was really a stupid move.

"Come with me..."

Koharu Utane had no choice but to ask Ryo Sarutobi to go aside so that they could talk alone.

Sarutobi Ryo left his spot and walked to the corner.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was asking Itachi about his well-being.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed quite happy to suddenly have an adopted grandson.

He is also a grandfather.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know was...

He is not only Itachi's grandfather, but also Neji's and Sasuke's...
