Master, please become the Hokage

It is possible.

As Sarutobi Ryo's childhood sweetheart, he is indeed qualified to be taken as a hostage, which can be one of the backup measures.

Another possible solution...

"I went to talk to him in person..."

Senju Tobirama folded his arms and frowned.

Negotiation…is always an option.

He wanted to find out what this young man was thinking and what he wanted to turn Konoha into.

"That's all we can do..."

Uzumaki Mito nodded.

She also didn't expect that Sarutobi Ryo would deal with the three senior executives so quickly.

It was as if I had the advantage just a moment ago, but was overturned in the next moment.

Watching the discussion between the two great men, Minato Namikaze's heart slowly sank...

Because he didn't think the negotiations would go well.

Rather, he was a little worried that Senju Tobirama would be turned against him...

"Watergate."

Seeing her lover's worried expression, Kushina couldn't help but hold his hand.

Feeling the warmth of Kushina's palm, Namikaze Minato gave a forced smile.

Things...were messed up after all.

He is actually not good at this kind of political struggle.

Every step is like walking on a tightrope.

It was like that in the previous life, and it is like that in this life.

The reason why the years were peaceful in the past was because someone carried the burden for him.

Elder Koharu, Elder Yan...even Lord Danzo.

They endured a lot.

All you have to do is take responsibility for walking on the road to becoming Hokage.

Now, all three of them have lost their power and have no help... Without someone to carry the burden for him, Minato Namikaze feels extremely difficult.

But he didn't understand either.

Why is Young Master Liang so proficient in politics?

This is simply unreasonable.

Comparing his memories of the first week, he found that... everything had deviated too much.

Could it be that Master Sarutobi Ryo is the ultimate culprit behind all the changes?

The prophecy of the Great Toad Sage was intertwined in his chest, making it difficult for Minato Namikaze to breathe...

......

That night.

Sarutobi Ryo received an invitation from Tsunade to visit her mansion.

Sarutobi Ryo was naturally not afraid of Tsunade's little fists, and went there happily.

Sarutobi Ryo, who was visiting alone, was welcomed by Shizune.

In the living room.

Sarutobi Ryo sat down quietly and waited.

Soon, Tsunade appeared at the scene with someone.

The slight darkness did not prevent Sarutobi Ryo from observing the other party.

Tsunade had a somewhat unnatural look on her face, but Sarutobi Ryo ignored it.

After all, anyone who knew about the return of the dead would react in this way.

"The Second Hokage... Tobirama Senju."

Sarutobi Ryo took a sip of tea slowly, his expression neither sad nor happy.

"Humph......"

Senju Tobirama snorted softly and looked at Sarutobi Ryo.

Soon, he sat down.

The silent war has begun.

He lost the first step of the confrontation.

The other party was not surprised by his presence, which confirmed the speculation.

"Sarutobi Ryo, I've heard a lot about you..."

As a dead man, Senju Tobirama certainly doesn't need to drink tea.

"No, no..." Sarutobi Ryo replied, his expressionless face refusing to balk. "But the name of the Second Hokage is well-known... and the fact that he was killed by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers is even more famous..."

There was also a sharp sting in Sarutobi Ryo's words.

This made Senju Tobirama's brows furrow rapidly...

Chapter 159: The Thousand Hands Clan is Innately Evil

If such disrespectful and sarcastic remarks had been made during Senju Tobirama's lifetime, he would have taken direct action.

He would teach the young man in front of him a lesson and make him understand the traditional rules of seniority and hierarchy.

But......

At this time, he was unable to gain full strength.

When facing an opponent who you are not absolutely sure of winning, your attitude will naturally be more moderate.

"I thought you understood the hierarchy of seniority, but it seems that Monkey didn't teach you well." Senju Tobirama frowned slightly and directly mentioned Sarutobi Ryo's father Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Respect depends on who you're giving it to... When it comes to those who take advantage of their age, there's no need to show them respect. What do you think, Nidaime Hokage?"

Sarutobi Ryo responded to him without hesitation.

After a lot of indirect criticism, he almost cursed Senju Tobirama directly in the nose.

There was a lot of tension between the two as soon as they met, which made Tsunade sweat on her forehead.

She has been lawless since childhood and has been loved by everyone.

At an early age, he learned gambling from his grandfather, Hashirama Senju...

If I were to say who I was most afraid of throughout my childhood, it would probably be the white-haired guy in front of me... Oh no, my second grandfather, Senju Tobirama.

This kid Sarutobi Ryo didn't even give face to his second grandfather, which really surprised Tsunade.

Come to think of it, this isn't the first time this kid has acted so recklessly.

Judging from his experience of using brutal means to steal his most important things, he really can do what he is doing now...

However, Second Grandpa is not a pushover either. How will the confrontation between the two unfold?

"You seem quite dissatisfied with the current state of Konoha."

Senju Tobirama suppressed his expression and spoke coldly.

The initial contact was meaningless and the show of force failed, so it was natural to enter the formal contact stage.

The reason why he secretly contacted Sarutobi Ryo was simply to change what he was going to do and was doing, and to restore "light" to Konoha.

Things are not so easy to accomplish, and Senju Tobirama certainly understands that.

Relying on his filthy body, he was somewhat unscrupulous.

After all, this body is immortal.

With infinite chakra and the assistance of Flying Thunder God, it is enough to deal with one or two.

In other words... although there was no time to improve the accuracy of the Impure World Reincarnation in a hurry, preparing to this level is enough.

This is the confidence that brought Senju Tobirama to the scene.

"The times are progressing, and it's natural for us to discard some outdated things and take new steps forward." Sarutobi Ryo bluntly pointed out that many of Senju Tobirama's past policies and ideas were wrong.

“Dregs?”

Senju Tobirama frowned wildly.

"What do you know..."

What do you, a young man, understand?

Did you know that the Uchiha clan is inherently evil?!

did you know......

"I don't know much..." Sarutobi Ryo responded directly, "But I know that the Uchiha clan is also a member of Konoha, and that's enough."

Sarutobi Ryo points directly to the core of the contradiction.

On the side of Senju Tobirama, the biggest conflict is the persecution of Uchiha by the Senju faction.

That's all.

The rest are details.

As long as the Uchiha problem is solved, other problems will not be considered problems.

"Once bitten by a snake, you're afraid of ropes for ten years. Your defeat by Uchiha Madara back then left you with a serious psychological trauma..."

Sarutobi Ryo began to talk about...the nature of Senju Tobirama's targeting of Uchiha.

"In essence, you can't defeat Uchiha Madara, and you're unwilling to accept this, but you're also afraid that there will be another guy as powerful as Uchiha Madara... That's why you've taken various persecution measures against the Uchiha clan..."

Don't even mention the Uchiha clan being evil.

According to this statement.

The Aburame clan, who raise insects in their bodies, are an evil clan and are anti-human.

The Akimichi clan becomes stronger the more they eat, can transform into Ultraman giants, and can flatten a city at will. They are also an evil clan.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?

If you want to harm a group of people, you can find countless reasons.

Otherwise, more than 70% of the ninjas in the Warring States Period would not have disappeared from history.

It’s just because the upper limit of clans like the Aburame clan and the Akimichi clan is not high.

It was far from reaching Uchiha Madara's heels.

so......

Senju Tobirama was not afraid of these clans, but was only afraid of the Uchiha clan.

Essentially, it's the fear of insufficient firepower.

Add your own dishes.

But I can't stand seeing others doing well.

Although this is human nature, Senju Tobirama has greatly deepened his thinking and practical operations in this regard.

This is a bit narrow-minded.

A person like this would be fine as an ordinary ninja.

Once he comes to power and becomes Hokage, isn't it obvious what kind of evil he can commit?
