Master, please become the Hokage

What's more...

She and Minato had agreed to hold their wedding in two weeks.

Everything has started to be prepared, even the invitation letters are almost ready...

At this moment, something like this happened.

This created a huge gap for her when she was about to achieve perfect happiness.

This is really hard to accept...

"What do you want in exchange for letting Minato go?"

Kushina's attitude became even more condescending.

The tone became more mournful and melodious.

It makes people feel deeper pity and love when they hear it.

However......

This isn't a soap opera romance.

Ryo Sarutobi is not an ordinary person.

As a ninja... he has enough experience to develop a heart of steel.

not to mention.

The darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart is so deep that it is unimaginable.

Faced with such a small matter, there was no hesitation at all.

"Your attitude towards me has always been very uncultured..."

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly brought up Kushina's attitude.

From childhood to adulthood, I have always looked down on others and been full of pride.

There is no concept of equality in dealing with people.

Hearing Sarutobi Ryo suddenly rebuke her upbringing, Kushina naturally understood her shortcomings in dealing with people.

Uzumaki Mito has emphasized this point many times.

Kushina could only do as she was told.

But she always couldn't help but get angry when it came to Sarutobi Ryo.

"It's, it's my fault... I was wrong..."

Kushina said quickly.

For the sake of her lover, she was willing to risk everything.

As long as she could save Minato, she would lower her stance.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo raised his eyes, waiting for her further reply.

"Master Sarutobi Ryo~." Kushina changed the way she addressed Sarutobi Ryo in a voice that was almost about to cry.

Sarutobi's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he was obviously very satisfied with this: "It can be seen that you really want to save Namikaze Minato..."

Pause for a moment.

Give Kushina time to think.

"But......"

Sarutobi Ryo changed the subject.

"You know, the crimes committed by Minato Namikaze cannot allow him to escape the punishment of Konoha's laws..."

The laws of Konoha were established during the reign of Senju Tobirama.

Some of these laws are very strict.

For example... harming fellow villagers is the greatest sin... and so on.

of course.

Senju Tobirama is very good at double standards.

If others persecute the people of Konoha... No. If I persecute the people of Konoha... Fine.

Regardless of whether he becomes Hokage or not, Tobirama Senju will stick to his double standards to the end.

As for Minato Namikaze, since he was not as evil and had no power, he naturally could not learn the same double standards.

He committed a crime.

Once verified.

Then...there will be no good ending waiting for him.

Everyone knew this, Kushina knew this too.

Currently.

Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki are probably racking their brains, thinking about how to save Minato Namikaze.

Sarutobi Ryo didn't expect them to do anything fancy.

After all, Senju Tobirama's ability to stir up trouble made Sarutobi Ryo somewhat wary.

Therefore, killing him in advance is the best option.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

Deal with Kushina first, then deal with Uzumaki Mito.

Let Senju Tobirama become a lonely man.

By then... wouldn't it only take a few minutes to kill him?

What Sarutobi Ryo has to do is to cut off all the support around Senju Tobirama.

Kushina's visit was completely within Sarutobi Ryo's expectations.

Tonight, the one to be dealt with is Kushina...

Knowing what would happen to Minato later on, Kushina certainly couldn't just sit back and watch it happen.

"Woo~."

Her eyes turned red and her heart was filled with sorrow.

Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw that Sarutobi Ryo had disappeared from the chair.

Before she could react, Sarutobi Ryo had already quietly come behind her.

This gave her goosebumps...

"So, what price are you willing to pay to save Minato Namikaze... Uzumaki... Kushina..."

Sarutobi Ryo said that he saw Kushina's sincerity.

What remains is the question of how Kushina can show her sincerity.

In order to save Minato Namikaze and let herself off the hook, what is she willing to...pay?

With cold eyes, Sarutobi Ryo's gaze gradually became hot as he looked at the curve of Kushina's back.

"..."

Kushina stood there, her body trembling slightly as her mind searched for ideas, racking her brain for something she could exchange.

Hearing that there was hope of saving Minato, she was of course willing to do her best.

And the next second... I heard a sigh from behind.

"What a beauty..."

Sarutobi Ryo's whispers reached Kushina's ears clearly, causing her eyes to open suddenly.

At this moment, relying on her female intuition, she... seemed to vaguely understand Sarutobi Ryo's conditions.

only......

Soon, Sarutobi Ryo slowly approached Kushina from behind.

Then, he raised his arms, reached out, and began touching Kushina from behind.

Snapped.

Kushina's body trembled even more violently at the contact of the burning palm.

A pair of eyes couldn't help but open wider.

She was filled with panic, disgust... and the thought of running away.

But in the end, she slowly suppressed these instinctive reactions.

Sarutobi Ryo hugged Kushina from behind.

Kushina...couldn't help but shed crystal tears.

"Woo~."

The night is long.

Time passes.

It seemed like a second, but also like a century...

Chapter 169. Kushina's Change, Minato is Released

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

It was a cool morning and soon there were pedestrians.

People come and go, and there seems to be not much difference between today and yesterday.

However, the turbulent political situation in Konoha's upper echelons caught the Konoha ninjas by surprise...

Early in the morning.

Minato Namikaze heard footsteps coming from outside.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the light.

Last night was the most difficult night for him.

Because Minato Namikaze never thought that he would be imprisoned in Konoha's prison.

This was something difficult for him to accept and imagine.

Plus, Teacher Jiraiya came over again last night and did a lot of psychological work.

This made Minato Namikaze determined... to stop in time.

If you do something wrong, it is naturally wrong.

It’s never too late to make amends in time.

Giving out the Second Hokage and protecting himself might be the best solution.

Of course, if the Nidaime takes action first, then...

Soon, Minato Namikaze saw clearly who came to visit him.

It's Kushina.

She was accompanied by several ANBU personnel.

"Kushina..."

Minato Namikaze quickly stood up and walked towards the iron railing.
