Master, please become the Hokage

this day.

Suddenly, white light began to glow from Hashirama Senju's body.

"Sama Shodaime..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised and thought that Hatake Sakumo had unlocked the technique.

However, facing the Sandaime's puzzled gaze, Hatake Sakumo was also confused.

"It seems the time has come..."

Senju Hashirama glanced at his glowing hands.

White confetti was flying.

His soul...is about to be freed from the constraints of this body.

Sarutobi Ryo stood aside, saying nothing, just continuing to concentrate on his work.

Hashirama Senju saw that Konoha had undergone earth-shaking changes in just over ten days, and he was... already satisfied with it.

His only regret was what Madara had said back then.

Putting the cart before the horse...

This will bring new darkness to Konoha.

What Madara said was indeed true.

Fortunately, later generations set things right.

“I believe that existence will become better under your construction…”

Senju Hashirama stood there calmly with a smile on his face.

Finally, he looked at Sarutobi Ryo.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes made it clear... he was asking about the fate of his wife, Uzumaki Mito.

Mito Uzumaki has been imprisoned for more than 10 days.

Is she still alive?

This was the last thing Hashirama Senju wanted to know.

"Don't worry, Shodaime Hokage..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked up, his eyes flashing.

I will support your wife.

Senju Hashirama was slightly stunned, then he smiled happily.

However, he only thought that Sarutobi Ryo had spared his wife Uzumaki Mito, but he didn't know... Sarutobi Ryo's real thoughts.

"Then I have no regrets..."

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, a beam of white light shot straight into the sky.

Everyone was stunned to see Senju Hashirama escape from the restraints of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and return to the underworld...

"This is really..."

"As expected of the Shodaime-sama..."

Faced with the crowd's discussions, Sarutobi Ryo...just narrowed his eyes slightly.

......

That night.

The dungeon was reopened.

Sarutobi Ryo slowly entered.

Mito Uzumaki was still tied up in place. She raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her.

Ryo Sarutobi explained everything to Mito Uzumaki.

Including the ascension of Hashirama Senju.

"Don't worry, Uzumaki Mito..."

Sarutobi Ryo said calmly.

"I have already promised the First Hokage that I will take good care of you..."

Sarutobi Ryo deliberately emphasized the word "take care of".

Then, he came in front of Uzumaki Mito, lifted her chin, and stared at that beautiful face.

Mito Uzumaki, with a look of resentment on her face, began to tremble subconsciously when touched.

Only by getting close to him can one understand the immense darkness within the heart of this young man...

Snapped.

Sarutobi Ryo let go of his right hand and looked at Uzumaki Mito's shocked and frightened expression.

“The most delicious food should be saved for last...”

Sarutobi Ryo looked at Uzumaki Mito reluctantly and finally left.

Next, it was time for Naruto to be born.

Chapter 181. Kushina's Wedding

Preparations for the wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina are proceeding as scheduled.

Everything is smooth sailing.

What Minato Namikaze worried about did not happen.

Sarutobi Ryo did not say anything to stop him.

This made him feel even worse.

Looking back, even with the memories of the first week and some of the future, I lived in a daze.

What on earth is going on?

Minato Namikaze still couldn't let go of these things.

But he also knew very well that if he continued to cause trouble, his future would definitely become even more chaotic.

Minato Namikaze was in a tangled state of mind and was unhappy every day because of this...

Bridal chamber for wedding.

It was exactly the same as what Minato Namikaze remembered.

The ancestral home of Minato Namikaze was used as the venue for the wedding.

After intensive renovation, the house looks brand new.

However, according to the development of the first round of memories, he and Kushina should have moved into the building of "Hokage's House".

That is...

The annex of the Hokage Building where the first, second, and third generations of the Hokage lived successively.

Only the one who becomes Hokage is qualified to live in this position.

But now...

"Kushina, congratulations."

In a room in the bridal chamber.

Kushina was sitting in front of the dressing table.

The person who was drawing her eyebrows and eyes was Kushina's best friend... Uchiha Mikoto.

Mikoto was of course extremely happy when her best friend got married.

Mikoto, whose belly is obviously bulging, is already three months pregnant.

After a while, she became more and more radiant.

Apart from the occasional sadness due to her late husband's death, she has gradually come out of the shadow.

When walking on the street, people often look back at me.

As a beauty.

Mikoto has become even more graceful than before...

Everyone else thought it was because Mikoto was pregnant.

However, only Sarutobi Ryo understood the specific reason.

After being nourished by the Will of Fire many times, Mikoto naturally absorbed its essence, and as a result... her figure became even more enchanting and sexy...

Unlike Mikoto, who had a slightly raised mouth and looked very happy.

Kushina was sitting in front of the dressing table, feeling extremely depressed.

Sad eyes flashed frequently.

It's not because of the failure of Uzumaki Mito and Namikaze Minato.

And it was because of...the ravages suffered that night.

Just to exchange for Minato's safety, he paid the most important thing.

And that night, she completely understood the dark part of Sarutobi Ryo's heart.

After gazing into the abyss, my three perspectives are no longer the same as before.

Some things, once experienced, can never be undone...

The pure and innocent Kushina of the past is no longer there...

And according to the agreement.

Today, he will come again, and then...

Looking at Kushina's slightly trembling body, Mikoto was slightly stunned, then smiled with understanding.

"Kushina, I understand the nervousness before getting married..."

Mikoto looked at her friend in the mirror.

She had been there before, so she naturally understood.

However, this time Mikoto misunderstood.

She had no idea what Kushina had truly been through.

"Mikoto..." Kushina, who was almost crying, couldn't hold it in anymore.

Mikoto: "Hmm?"

"No, nothing..."

Kushina shook her head and fell silent.

My best friend's words of comfort rang in my ears again.

With no one to turn to, Kushina could only wait for the nightmare to come again. There was still nothing she could do...

......

"Minato, congratulations...haha..."

Guests arrived one after another in the mansion.

The sun is shining brightly today, it is obviously a good day.

Jiraiya was the first to arrive. He kept saying congratulatory words with a flushed face. He couldn't help but feel happy for his disciple's wedding.

Minato Namikaze, dressed as a groom, wore a white suit.

This was at Kushina's request.
