Master, please become the Hokage

In the ninja world, it is not uncommon for ninjas like this to have additional industries.

For example, the Nara clan owns a forest in the Land of Fire. In the original novel, Shikamaru also buried Hidan in that forest.

Danzo's roots also have his own industries to maintain the operation of the underground dark forces.

There are so many examples like this...

Wherever there are people, there is the ninja world.

Instead of letting others interfere here, it is better to do it myself. This is what Ryo Sarutobi thought.

At least... I will make this place better than when others run it.

"What is Nono doing?" Sarutobi Ryo sat down and drank some tea.

"She went to the Land of Waves to gather intelligence."

The Land of Waves...is only a few hours away. You'll need to cross the ocean to get there.

With the speed of a ninja, we can get there faster.

The geographical location of Wave Country is similar to that of Whirlpool Country. This country is located to the north of Whirlpool Country.

If the Hidden Mist Village wants to invade Konoha, it will usually choose to land on the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools or the Land of Waves.

The advantage of Wave Country is that there is no ninja village, the country is very small, and it is a neutral country.

The disadvantage is that the country's land area is too small and it is very poor, so it is impossible to hide large troops and can only fight in small groups.

"I arranged for Nono's Root companions to live in the manor..."

Yamanaka Hui proposed another arrangement.

In order not to alert the enemy and arouse the suspicion of the Kirigakure ninja, Nono personally went to the Land of Waves to investigate the enemy's whereabouts.

In terms of intelligence capabilities, perhaps only Kabuto of later generations can be compared with Nono.

The root person is hidden, hiding his own existence.

"Well, I see."

Sarutobi got up and planned to take a shower and have a good sleep.

At this moment, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded outside.

"What's wrong?" Shan Zhonghui rushed out immediately.

By the time Sarutobi Ryo arrived, the storm had subsided.

Several Root ninjas, wearing masks, still wore the iconic Anbu uniforms.

They all exude murderous intent, and the target is...

"It's a child?" Shan Zhonghui exclaimed.

In front of him, a little girl about the same age as Kakashi was being pinned to the ground by a Root ninja, and she was struggling constantly.

She has lavender hair, which is tied into a braid at the back of her head.

The sound of scattered footsteps was heard.

Several gang members with bruised faces and noses came over and stared at Sarutobi Ryo tremblingly.

"Sir... we really can't stop her..."

In order to maintain the secrecy of the upcoming docking operation with Kirigakure, the gang members acted as a disguised front.

To ordinary people outside, it was just a dispute within the gang, and then the local security suddenly improved.

But in fact...this is Konoha's secret base of operations.

Since it is a secret place, it naturally cannot be known to outsiders, let alone allowed other people in.

Of course they knew about Sarutobi Ryo's thunderous methods.

The title of Black Death has long spread throughout the entire gang.

Now that they've let people in and they haven't been able to fulfill their duties, they're of course scared to death, fearing that they'll be beaten to death by Sarutobi Ryo with one punch.

"Is he a spy from Kirigakure?"

Shan Zhonghui raised the corner of his mouth and thought subconsciously.

Of course, the people from Kirigakure are capable of using children as spies in exchange for information.

"and many more."

Just when Yamanaka Hui was about to use the Yamanaka clan's secret technique to mess with the other person's brain, Sarutobi Ryo raised his hand to stop her.

Looking back at the little girl lying on the ground, Sarutobi Ryo asked calmly, "What's your name?"

The little girl struggled in vain, her eyes slowly dimming, and then, out of her mouth came an answer that made Sarutobi's eyes light up.

"red lotus."

Chapter 32. The first subordinate?

"red lotus......"

Sarutobi's eyes lit up.

Compare her appearance to what I remember.

Finally...Sarutobi Ryo was sure.

This little girl is one of the reincarnation vessels chosen by Orochimaru in the original work.

"What abilities does she have?" Sarutobi Ryo remained calm, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.

The gangsters who were questioned immediately started explaining.

Different from the skills of ordinary people, that is, physical skills.

Agile body and excellent reaction, that is, physical fitness.

more importantly......

"She knows ninjutsu and can breathe fire..."

Several gangsters stared at Sarutobi Ryo and spoke cautiously.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here, go down... Shut up and pretend nothing happened..."

Sarutobi Ryo waved his hand, and the few people felt relieved. They bowed and went down immediately.

"Why are you invading our estate?"

Sarutobi Ryo placed his hands behind his back, signaling the Root ninja to let her go.

"..."

Honglian lay on the ground, raised her head and looked around, her eyes full of despair.

Every one of the people who stayed there was too powerful for her to resist.

In this way... there is no way... to get revenge.

Sarutobi Ryo: "Revenge?"

As Sarutobi Ryo asked questions, the truth quickly came to light.

Honglian's parents are a pair of wild ninjas.

During the Warring States Period, countless families fought against each other.

Later, the Senju and Uchiha families joined forces to establish Konoha, and many families joined in.

But there were also some families who did not like Konoha, so they hid their identities or left the Land of Fire.

Honglian's ancestor was probably one of those inconspicuous beings.

She originally lived with her parents, carefree.

Later, the woman who protected the Twelve Ninjas appeared and began to integrate the port town below her feet.

Honglian's parents were relatively decent people, so they protested immediately.

As a result, the whole family was killed by that woman in the middle of the night.

Honglian was lucky enough to escape the disaster. After hiding, he began to think of ways to take revenge.

During these seven days, the port town had undergone a series of changes. She could no longer contain her impatience and planned to sneak in to take a look, but her tracks were discovered.

Probably...that's it.

"Revenge?"

Sarutobi nodded.

"follow me."

He gestured for her to follow, but Honglian didn't understand why, but she slowly stood up and followed Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei.

After entering a room on the side of the manor, Sarutobi Ryo opened the door.

A woman lies on the bed.

The woman covered in jewels and precious stones was Honglian's enemy and one of the former Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

According to Yamanaka Hui, after the incident, the Konoha high-level officials contacted the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately dismissed her from her post that night and "happily" announced that the replacement could be a Konoha ninja selected from Konoha.

Let’s not talk about this kind of goodwill for now.

This action alone is one of the butterfly effects caused by Sarutobi Ryo's identity as a time traveler.

You have to know that the Twelve Guardian Ninjas are all wild ninjas, and it has been like this since the establishment of Konoha.

In the original work, the first Twelve Guardian Ninjas of Konoha would not join the group until many years later, when Asuma grew up and joined them.

History...was changed.

Because of Sarutobi Ryo's participation, the direction of the ninja world is heading in an increasingly unpredictable direction.

"!"

It's her!

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

An expression of extreme hatred instantly appeared on Honglian's face.

She was so excited that she was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yamanaka Hui.

"Look carefully."
