Master, please become the Hokage

However, having too much chakra does not necessarily mean one has the ability to predict the future.

Therefore, we can only speak of this matter in a speculative tone.

"Why are you asking this?" Uzumaki Mito was puzzled.

Don’t you already have the inheritance of Mount Myōboku?

"It's like this..." Namikaze Minato calmed himself down and told the story of Sarutobi Ryo's summoning of the slug.

And this time, it was Uzumaki Mito's turn to remain silent.

After a moment, Uzumaki Mito said, "Don't worry about it, just let it go..."

After all, even Hashirama back then couldn't control the Slug Sage's true form.

The existence of the Slug Immortal's original body is completely different from its split body.

When... too many consciousnesses gather together to form a huge whole, it will be like a god overlooking all living beings.

Majestic...and cold.

"No matter how hard Sarutobi tries, he can only use a portion of the slug's clones... He won't be able to achieve anything..."

He was recognized by Uzumaki Mito and was almost designated as Kushina's husband...that is, the Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namikaze felt very relieved.

"Don't worry, Mito-sama. I will work hard to become the Yondaime Hokage!"

Chapter 11. Sarutobi Ryo: Uzumaki Mito, one day I will take you...

Several days flew by.

Matt Dai arrived at the time of discharge from the hospital.

Early that morning, Sarutobi Ryo went to visit in person with some fruit.

At the busy entrance of the hospital, Matt Dai stood there in high spirits, and it was obvious that he had fully recovered.

Unlike in the original novel, Akai will only become exhausted after opening six doors.

Might Dai's basic qualities are not as good as those of the adult Kai in the original work, so opening the six doors caused him to lie down for a week.

But in order to protect his companions, Might Dai took action regardless of the side effects.

In one fell swoop, he set a record by single-handedly defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although Hatake Sakumo was present at the time, which forced Ai to give up, it was still an amazing achievement.

At this time, Akai stood beside Matt Dai, looking at his father with admiration in his eyes.

Before, Akai always thought that his father, as a ten-thousand-year-old Genin, always used the Ah Q spirit to encourage himself, and his life was very miserable.

But after this mission, his attitude towards his father has completely changed.

There is no doubt that Matt Dai has made great contributions to the village.

The successful seizure of the secret scroll enabled Konoha to obtain a lot of important information.

For example...the Hidden Cloud Village plans to develop a weapon called the "Spacetime Chakra Cannon" within the next 20 years. This weapon can be launched at sub-light speeds, with the goal of eventually detonating the moon, which is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

The other contents recorded are also quite shocking.

This shows the arms race and warmongering of Yunyin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed reforms to the "Chunin Exam" in a timely manner.

——Even if you don't know ninjutsu, you are qualified to become a Chunin.

Matt Day's performance, at the right time, shut everyone up.

This ten-thousand-year-old Genin who was laughed at by others suddenly became famous and became a person that people admired.

Naturally, Might Dai was promoted to "Chunin" by the top management.

This was a huge reform in Konoha's history.

Appoint people based on their actual abilities, rather than on vague promotion criteria.

Might Dai becoming a Chunin will give more people hope of becoming a ninja or being promoted to Chunin.

This will naturally bless his son...Akai.

According to this development, there will be fewer obstacles for Akai to become a Chunin in the future.

"Mr. Dai, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital." Sarutobi Ryo handed the fruit to Akai.

Matt Dai was full of gratitude: "Master Liang, I was able to get promoted thanks to your help in arranging the last mission..."

That mission added a brilliant achievement to Matt Day's resume.

The amount of money he was assigned for the task alone was enough to improve his life for a long time.

"This is the mission reward."

Sarutobi Ryo handed over an envelope.

Matt Dai was a little surprised by the hefty amount of money he received. He quickly checked it and found that the amount was a bit too much.

Obviously, this was due to the additional support provided by Ryo Sarutobi.

"Master Liang, I can't accept so much reward..."

Matt Dai waved his hand sincerely and was about to refuse.

Sarutobi Ryo stopped him: "Akai practices physical skills every day, and the child's body also needs a lot of nutrition and training equipment, doesn't it..."

"Uh..." Matt Dai thought about it and knew that this was Young Master Liang's good intention, so he no longer refused.

"If there are other difficult tasks in the future, I will still need Mr. Dai's help..."

Sarutobi Ryo smiled slightly, explaining another meaning.

A strong person who can use the Eight Gates is worth relying on no matter what. The mission to save Hatake Sakumo is proof of this.

"no problem."

Might Guy, who possessed the will of fire in his heart, agreed immediately.

After chatting for a while, the father and son said goodbye to Sarutobi Ryo.

Looking at their departing backs, Sarutobi Ryo felt quite relieved.

Konoha...is formed by individuals like these who truly contribute to the village.

Naturally, the more such beings there are, the better.

Compared to those who are greedy and despicable, talents like Might Dai are worthy of admiration and reliance.

A despicable person?

Sarutobi Ryo slowly turned around and looked towards the end of the corridor.

Several solemn figures walked slowly towards them, protecting someone.

If we say that the feeling those Anbu gave people was... it was one of keeping strangers away.

Then, the existence protected in the middle is ethereal and otherworldly.

The beautiful and noble face, the bright red hair and the bun hairstyle add an indescribable charm to her.

The white robe fluttered in the wind. It was just a simple outfit, but it gave off a solemn feeling like a goddess.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at her without blinking.

What is certain is that Sarutobi Ryo has never seen anyone as noble as her in his life.

The other person's natural noble temperament is completely different from the kind of willful nature of Princess Tsunade.

It is a truly otherworldly temperament.

This also caused Sarutobi Ryo's originally calm state of mind to slightly...change.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

In addition... Ryo Sarutobi also admitted that he has a dark side in his heart.

It’s just that the dark side is usually well hidden and will not be discovered by most people.

The previous two times the dark side was stimulated were the experiences of infusing the will of fire into Yamanaka Kei and Ringo Ayuri.

Now, facing this incredibly beautiful woman, the darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart... surged again.

"Mito-sama!"

"Mito-sama!"

The medical ninjas and nurses passing by all greeted the stunningly beautiful woman.

They all looked at each other with respect or admiration.

The wife of the first Hokage, the grandmother of Senju Nawaki and Princess Tsunade... Uzumaki Mito.

Sarutobi Ryo watched her walk silently.

When she passed by him, she brought with her a waft of fragrance.

Sarutobi Ryo could be sure that it was not the smell of shower gel or spices, but... the scent that came with this woman.

There is no doubt that this is a woman of extreme beauty.

The sweet body fragrance she exudes also reveals her unique charm.

"Mito-sama," Sarutobi Ryo said calmly.

"..."

Uzumaki Mito turned his head but did not stop.

There was a barely perceptible glint of disgust in her eyes.

In this scene, it is impossible to detect the subtle changes in human pupils unless you open the Byakugan or use the Sharingan to capture it accurately.

Fortunately, at this moment, Sarutobi Ryo was using his right eye to zoom in on Uzumaki Mito's face.

Her performance was also fully noticed by him.

Uzumaki Mito...possessing the ability to sense malevolence.

This is why she recognized Minato Namikaze back then.

"Ah."

Uzumaki Mito nodded slightly, then turned his head and walked away.

Sarutobi Ryo knew that the other party could sense the evil part in his heart.

I don't shy away from this at all.

but......

What Uzumaki Mito didn't know was that her grandson... Senju Nawaki also knew this.

The difference between the two is.

Uzumaki Mito talks about the heart, not the actions.

Thousand-Handed Rope Tree talks about deeds, not hearts.

Having played together since childhood, how could Senju Nawaki not know the evil in his own heart?

But he still chose to be tolerant and decided to judge others based on their actions.

Instead of simply deciding what kind of person others are based on what a certain part of your mind thinks.

In the end, Senju Nawaki entrusted the will of fire to himself.

Passing on the torch.

Sarutobi Ryo has indeed decided to ask Konoha and the Ninja World to exchange the sun and the moon!
