Master, please become the Hokage

At this time, the big toad immortal also closed his eyes.

No matter how Master Shima asked, it remained silent.

Two different futures flashed before Minato Namikaze's eyes, and his expression became extremely heavy...

Chapter 50. Nohara Lin

Afternoon dusk.

Next to the Hokage Building, in a dark alley, the entrance to the Anbu.

Sarutobi Ryo placed his hands behind his back and stared ahead.

After a while, footsteps were heard and Shan Zhonghui came over: "Master, Mr. Shumao is still in the village..."

Just now, Sarutobi Ryo asked Yamanaka Kei to go to Hatake Sakumo's place and found an excuse to have a free meal tonight.

In fact, it was to confirm whether Hatake Sakumo had any mission arrangements in the near future, and... to try to change the ending of his murder.

It is better to do things sooner rather than later. Everything needs to be prepared in advance to be safe.

"Yeah." Sarutobi Ryou nodded and soon went underground with Yamanaka Kei.

There were many such passages in Konoha. Even under many manhole covers, they would eventually connect to the Anbu or the Root's lair.

In the dark underground, human figures flashed.

People from the Anbu and Root came and went from time to time.

They were focused on their own affairs and at most just glanced at Sarutobi Ryo before leaving.

It was obvious that they had received orders from Danzo and knew that Sarutobi Ryo had joined the Anbu.

After walking all the way through numerous corridors, the view finally opened up and a spacious underground hall came into the sight of Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Hui.

It is divided into several areas.

It is clearly visible that there are area markings for training area, scroll storage, preparation room, etc.

Without thinking, Sarutobi Ryo went straight to where the scroll was hidden.

The Anbu records a lot of secret information, including not only various secrets, but also special records.

For example...human experiments.

Although human experimentation was officially taboo, the ANBU branch of the profession operated in a gray area. When obtaining the enemy's corpse, it was natural to analyze the intelligence. This was something every ninja village would do, and Konoha was no exception.

Sarutobi Ryo was wondering if he could find some information about bloodline limits here.

"Young Master, let me help you..." Shan Zhonghui had a telepathic connection and started looking directly from another bookshelf.

After a while, footsteps were heard and Aburame Ryoma walked in: "Master Liang, we meet again... Congratulations."

What Aburame Ryoma was congratulating was naturally the fact that Sarutobi Ryo would be appointed as the "Anbu Captain" in a week.

Being promoted right after joining the Anbu is bound to cause controversy among outsiders.

By then, some bad public opinion will inevitably spread in Konoha.

However, since it was the appointment made by Lord Danzo, Aburame Ryoma naturally let it go.

"Mr. Ryoma, you've come just in time. I was just looking up some information about bloodline limits. I wonder if there's any clues on this..."

Sarutobi Ryo put down the file in his hand and turned to look at the other person.

"Bloodline limit?" Aburame Ryoma suddenly felt strange.

The first thing Young Master Liang did when he arrived at the Anbu base was to read about bloodline limits.

He thought about it and felt that this made sense.

After all, Master Liang's father, the Sandaime Hokage, was proficient in seven attributes, but he didn't have a bloodline limit...

"Regarding the contents of the bloodline limit..."

Aburame Ryoma pondered for a moment.

"For a secret of this level, I'm afraid I need to consult with Master Danzo..."

After thinking about it, Aburame Ryoma gave this answer.

The scrolls here do not contain any content about bloodline limits.

"You can't make the decision?" Sarutobi Ryo frowned slightly.

It seemed like just an unconscious facial change, but in Aburame Ryoma's eyes, it was sharp, and it seemed that even the air became a little heavier.

"What a strong sense of oppression..."

Aburame Ryoma frowned inwardly.

If it were any other ordinary ninja from the Anbu, they would probably have felt a little scared after being glared at like that.

But after all, he is Danzo's right-hand man and a powerful man with a long history.

Therefore, Aburame Ryoma only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a pretentious and gentle tone: "It is not easy to study the information of bloodline limits openly. After all... we have to consider the feelings of each family..."

In Konoha, there are several families with bloodline limits alone.

——Although there are no Hyuga or Uchiha in Anbu.

"Yeah." Sarutobi Ryou nodded. Knowing that he could not get anything from here, he took Yamanaka Hui away directly.

Aburame Ryoma's eyes under his sunglasses stared at the two people leaving, and his expression slowly changed.

Given his background and reputation, others would be very frightened when they saw him.

But unfortunately, this young master's identity and background are stronger than his.

"Moreover, in terms of personality, this young master is completely different from his father, the Third Hokage..."

If Sarutobi Hiruzen is indecisive and kind-hearted.

So, the impression that Sarutobi Ryo gave to Aburame Ryoma was that of a very sharp and extremely self-aware person.

"Is this a good or bad thing for the Anbu and the Root?"

Aburame Ryoma thought about it and decided to tell his boss, Danzo-sama, about what he had just experienced.

......

After reaching the surface, the two of them strolled along and soon left their original point.

"Young master, aren't you going to look for that old man Danzo?" Yamanaka Hui followed behind and asked.

Since Aburame Ryoma said he would ask Danzo for instructions, he could definitely try to go directly to the old guy.

"no point."

Sarutobi Ryo shook his head and had no intention of looking for Danzo.

In the original work, Danzo recruited Orochimaru, transplanted Hashirama's cells, and fiddled with the Sharingan... There must be a lot of research materials on bloodline limits.

The official novel also adds that Danzo has his own medical team that specializes in conducting various human experiments and has achieved various results.

But once you look for Danzo, you will easily get on the pirate ship, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, Sarutobi Ryo decided to break through from another direction and find someone to study the "Snow Clan Ice Release Remains" obtained from Ringo Ayuri.

"Let's go straight to Mr. Sakumo."

There must be a way to get there, so Sarutobi Ryo decided to go to Hatake Sakumo's place first.

......

At the same time, at Hatake Sakumo's house.

"Dad, why don't you want me to join Minato-sensei's team..."

Kakashi, who had finished a day of training with Jiraiya, met his father on his way home who had gone to seek instructions from the higher-ups.

Hatake Sakumo explained to the higher-ups and requested to transfer Kakashi away from the team and transfer him to other senior ninjas, but was severely rejected by the higher-ups such as Utatane Koharu.

Sitting on the tatami in his living room, Hatake Sakumo was feeling rather embarrassed at the moment, because he didn't know how to talk to his son.

"Among the many jonin who could serve as a 'guiding jonin', there is probably no one better than Minato-sensei."

Kakashi, who was sitting across from the low table, had droopy eyelids and a look of anger in his eyes.

"Or... Dad, do you think I should be guided by Master Liang?"

When Kakashi mentioned Sarutobi Ryo, he became even angrier.

He crossed his arms over his chest, like a little adult.

He was very upset about what Sarutobi Ryo said during the day.

"Kakashi, anyway..."

Hatake Sakumo was about to say something but stopped himself. At this moment, voices were heard in the yard outside.

The father and son looked outside together, and several figures soon came into view.

Kakashi: "Rin? Obito?"

At this time, in the courtyard, Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei, who came to visit, met two children who also came.

The one wearing goggles is Uchiha Obito, who is crazy about love in later generations.

The other little girl with purple tape on her face is naturally the source of everything, Nohara Lin.

Seeing the little girl in front of him, Sarutobi Ryo's eyes gradually became hot.

Of course, the system did not pop up a prompt.

——Or maybe it’s not the right time yet.

In short, there seemed to be a perfect opportunity before us.

"Master Liang~!" Uchiha Obito stood at attention and greeted him loudly and politely.

In comparison, Nohara Rin was much more obedient. She said a sweet name, and Sarutobi Ryo nodded slightly: "Nohara Rin, I've heard of you..."

"Huh?" Nohara Lin was slightly stunned.

"According to some teachers at the Ninja School, you possess an exceptional talent for medical ninjutsu, and you often volunteer at the Konoha Hospital. The medical ninjas also have a lot of praise for you. Is that true?"

Sarutobi Ryo looked at her. Despite her young age, Nohara Rin already looked like a beauty.

Combined with his gentle and sunny personality, it's no wonder that Uchiha Obito would fall.

"Yes, yes, it's my dream to become a medical ninja who is no less capable than Lady Tsunade~!" Nohara Rin immediately stood up straight, feeling a little nervous.

"Very good." Sarutobi nodded and immediately started coughing.

Nohara Lin observed his expression and pursed her lips slightly. After a few seconds, she said, "Master Liang...are you injured? It looks like an old injury that hasn't healed yet."

"Ah."

Sarutobi Ryo stopped coughing and gave his approval.

It wasn't an illness, it was an injury. Her judgment was absolutely correct.

"Could you please give me some medical treatment?"

Sarutobi Ryo made an invitation gesture and invited Nohara Rin to the living room of Hatake Sakumo's house for a chat.

This is a good start.

Afterwards, maybe we can ask Nohara Lin to help study the body.

Kakashi has graduated early, while Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito are still attending Ninja Academy. According to the original story, it will take some time for the two to catch up.

This also shows that Nohara Rin has not yet joined Namikaze Minato's army, so he can win her over in advance.

After all, when it comes to talent and aptitude in medical ninjutsu, few in Konoha can match him.

Sarutobi Ryo: "Let's test the waters first and see the specific situation before making any plans..."

Chapter 51. Gift

Soon after......

Sarutobi Ryo, who was sitting in the living room, was already receiving treatment from Nohara Rin.
