Master, please become the Hokage

"Kushina, it's so late... Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Sarutobi Ryo put down his teacup.

In the huge living room, there were only him and Kushina.

Kushina, who came over, pursed her lips with a very complicated expression on her face.

She was as strong as ever, but the look in her eyes indicated...she seemed a little lacking in confidence.

after all.

Senior officials were brought down and Minato Namikaze was arrested.

The entire Konoha building is about to collapse.

The situation was hopeless, and the village was about to become the property of Sarutobi Ryo's faction.

"Sarutobi Ryo, hurry up and let Minato go~!"

Kushina took a deep breath and spoke immediately.

She stood in the middle of the hall, looking down at Sarutobi Ryo who was sitting on a chair, and spoke loudly.

The tone was not without pride and contempt for the past.

Obviously, she still maintains the same way of getting along with others as before.

Thinking that you can get what you want by using this condescending attitude.

"..."

Sarutobi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and silence stretched on.

The unbearable atmosphere soon spread throughout the entire hall.

When Kushina was standing there feeling uncomfortable, Sarutobi Ryo finally spoke slowly.

"Who do you think...you're talking to?!"

The cold, scolding tone swept through Kushina's body like a shock wave, causing her to tremble violently.

The cold face and eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.

"!"

Kushina didn't expect Sarutobi Ryo's counterattack to come so quickly.

From childhood to adulthood, in her cognition, the other party was like wood.

Either they react coldly or they endure it silently.

Now, he has changed his previous attitude and expressed his opinions so clearly.

This made Kushina feel even more discouraged.

"You, you are the Sandaime-sama's son, aren't you, Daibana~!"

Because of the tension, Kushina even spoke directly with a habit of speaking.

She still tried to achieve her goal of getting Sarutobi Ryo to release Namikaze Minato by using the same way they had gotten along in the past.

however.

This path will never work...

Because of this moment.

Sarutobi Ryo has begun to bare his fangs, releasing the true darkness in his heart...

"hehe......"

Sarutobi Ryo smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Then he picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

He simply left Kushina where she was and ignored her.

With Kushina's personality, she couldn't stand this kind of confrontation.

She hurriedly said, "Release Minato quickly~!"

There was a command in the raised tone.

Her clenched fists showed her patience.

Sarutobi Ryo continued to drink his tea, his eyes downcast, still ignoring her.

I just won't let go, what can you do?

Treat Kushina's noise like a child.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had taken the initiative, was slowly beating her... to achieve his own goal.

After a while, seeing that Sarutobi Ryo still didn't respond, Kushina began to feel uncomfortable.

Her harsh rebuke had absolutely no effect.

Sarutobi Ryo still sat there calmly, not caring about her feelings at all.

In fact, Kushina knew very well in her heart that doing this...would not help at all.

She just wanted to give it a try out of hope.

Being fierce on the outside but weak on the inside will not scare the other party.

After completely realizing that the situation was hopeless, Kushina couldn't help but change her attitude.

"Sarutobi Ryo...what do you want in exchange for releasing Minato..."

When saying this, Kushina finally lowered her posture and her tone became much lower.

Attitudes have also improved.

Although she is an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, she is also the adopted granddaughter of Uzumaki Mito.

However, it doesn't change anything.

Because Sarutobi Ryo holds great power and is the real boss of Konoha.

The Third Hokage has retired and is unable to take charge of affairs. Strictly speaking, most of the time, his power is even less than that of his eldest son, Sarutobi Ryo.

The Fourth Hokage... is a good man, a hands-off boss who lets people do what they want... He has great trust in his disciples and companions, so...

In addition, all the top brass were sanctioned, and Lord Orochimaru was supported to take the position and stood on Sarutobi Ryo's side...

So as long as you have your eyesight, you can see that the power of Konoha has fallen into the hands of this guy Sarutobi Ryo!

To save Minato, we can only find a way to break through from him...

This was the reason why Kushina thought it over and over again and came here on her own.

"Release Minato Namikaze?"

Sarutobi Ryo put down his teacup and finally looked up at Kushina.

The other person's beautiful face became a little sad at this moment because of anxiety, which made people... feel pity for her.

This stirred up a deeper darkness in Sarutobi Ryo.

"Did you know that Namikaze Minato committed a serious crime?"

Sarutobi Ryo's tone turned cold and he began to list Minato Namikaze's sins.

Resurrecting the dead is a taboo.

Instructing Senju Tobirama to murder Konoha's high-ranking officials was an even greater crime. This... was even more excessive than Danzo's.

Danzo committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

so......

"What kind of ending do you think Minato Namikaze should have?"

Because he murdered a small fry of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo was killed.

Minato murdered this guy Sarutobi Ryo, unexpectedly...

Kushina opened her eyes wide in disbelief. After hearing the truth from Sarutobi Ryo, she understood why Sarutobi Ryo was so cold.

original.

The Second Hokage's bombing of Princess Tsunade's mansion was just a cover-up.

The real reason was that he planned to kill Sarutobi Ryo directly!

No matter who it is, it is impossible to let go of the resentment in their heart!

this......

Knowing that the matter was serious, Kushina trembled slightly and immediately pleaded: "This must be some misunderstanding~, Sarutobi Ryo... Minato couldn't possibly want to kill you..."

Kushina believed that no matter what Minato did, he would never murder his companions in the village.

so......

"Oh, of course I believe that Namikaze Minato would not want to kill me personally..."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded slightly, agreeing with Kushina's statement.

But there is more to this sentence.

Minato Namikaze didn't want to dirty his hands, so he asked Tobirama Senju to come forward...that's what he meant.

Anyway, the blame is on Senju Tobirama.

Just like Danzo taking the blame, this is a traditional skill of Konoha.

Is not it.

"No, that's not it~!"

Kushina's tone was mournful, and she immediately shook her head, a look of pain on her face.

Chapter 168. Kushina's Devotion

"Things don't go as you say."

Sarutobi Ryo glared at her and Kushina immediately shut her mouth.

"Everything depends on evidence. I gave Minato Namikaze time to reflect... and then tell it himself..."

This is the greatest kindness that Ryo Sarutobi can offer.

"Of course, if he doesn't say... then..."

Sarutobi Ryo narrowed his eyes.

The implication is obvious.

Later we will use ninjutsu to explore Namikaze Minato's brain.

By then...it's hard to say how things will turn out.

Perhaps Minato Namikaze, who was tortured by the Sharingan and the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques, would become an idiot, or... die directly.

In short, the factual evidence will soon be discovered.

"why is it like this......"

Kushina's eyes widened.

Knowing that Minato was about to follow in Danzo's footsteps, he immediately became panicked.

As the lover of Minato Namikaze.

Grew up with Minato Namikaze.

From looking down on Minato Namikaze and thinking he was a sissy... to being saved by the moon and then falling in love.

This made Kushina firmly believe that Minato Namikaze was her destined son.

However, Sarutobi Ryo said without mercy that Minato would suffer or even die.

This kind of ending was not what Kushina wanted at all.
