Master, please become the Hokage

Girl... Huaichun.

Nohara Lin's eyes flickered, perhaps even she herself was not aware of this feeling.

However, Sarutobi Ryo knew very well that this was just the ignorance of adolescence and the secretion of hormones, and it was not true love.

But if you keep going, step by step, it may turn into real feelings.

"Okay." Sarutobi Ryo smiled slightly and entered the entrance with Nohara Rin...

"Big sister, the boss has gone in."

The two Ronin said.

"Well, let's wait." Honglian's tone was quite conscientious.

The three of them stood under a tree near the door.

Chapter 16. Rich Young Master Sarutobi Ryo, Preparations Before the Third War

"Sir, this is this month's income."

After Sarutobi Ryo left Nohara Rin's house, he returned to the Sarutobi clan's mansion.

Honglian reported on its operations this month.

Post-war peace continued and economies around the world prospered.

After the ports were integrated, the business grew bigger and bigger.

Looking at the string of zeros at the end of the bankbook...

Sarutobi Ryo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As everyone knows, the full commission for a D-level mission starts at 3000 taels.

A C-level mission starts at 3 taels.

A B-level mission starts at 8 taels.

An A-level task starts at 15 taels.

An S-level mission starts at 100 million taels.

Note, this is before tax.

Generally speaking, the village will take a 50% commission for completing a task.

The rest will be divided equally according to the number of people.

In other words, a powerful Konoha ninja could earn a maximum of 50 ryo for completing an S-rank mission alone.

What does that mean?

In the original work, Minato Namikaze completed S-level missions 39 times.

It can be assumed that Minato Namikaze earned perhaps 2000 million ryo "solely from S-rank missions".

But the thing is…

Ringo Ayuri was in the "underground black market". The starting bounty for killing a senior ninja was 500 million ryo.

For example, the corpses of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas can be sold for 2000 to 3000 million taels.

Minato Namikaze had to work hard to complete 39 S-level missions to get 2000 million ryo.

Then the problem is coming.

After all, it is an underground black market, and it is easy to make money as a bounty hunter.

Or is Konoha too dark?

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo carefully counted this month's revenue and net profit.

Millions of taels were easily obtained.

You know, the port run by Sarutobi Ryo is an inconspicuous one among the many ports in the Land of Fire.

Just such a small place can generate millions of taels of net profit in a month.

Then why bother helping the Konoha high-level officials? What are you risking your life for?

He shook his head and took the passbook.

Sarutobi Ryo looked at Guren and praised her abilities.

Honglian plans to open a transportation industry branch to the Land of Waves according to Sarutobi Ryo's previous plan.

Sarutobi Ryo told her to go ahead and do it boldly, but not to be too obsessed with business.

"After all, this world... is still based on strength..."

Sarutobi stood up and looked out the window.

Having money can certainly make life comfortable, but ultimately this is a world where strength speaks.

"Sir?" Honglian was a little confused. She had never been to school and did not understand the possible changes in the situation in the ninja world.

"The end of the Second Shinobi World War is not the end. The five major nations did not suffer any serious damage in the last war..."

Sarutobi Ryo began to explain the situation in the ninja world to Honglian.

"We're going to... go to war again?" Honglian's pupils shrank, finding it hard to imagine.

"Well, it won't be long before the ninja world is in turmoil again..."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the girl with lavender hair with burning eyes.

"Next, I will test your practice during this period."

Without waiting for Honglian to react, Sarutobi Ryo directly created a shadow clone and started beating the little friend.

Honglian's cries of pain and low moans were heard.

At this time, Yamanaka Hui walked in from outside.

Before I reached the door, I heard strange noises coming from inside.

"Wow! No way... Could it be that the young master is really so cruel as to attack a child..."

Quietly peek in and observe.

It turned out that they were just beating the kids during normal training.

Shan Zhonghui's eyes changed, and it was hard to tell whether he was disappointed or something else.

The girl who is born evil at heart seems to be eager to see the world in chaos?

"Ahui, how's things going?" Sarutobi Ryo noticed the girl peeking at him and walked over.

"Master, this is the title deed."

Shan Zhonghui stretched out his hand.

The old house under your feet is the ancestral home of the Sarutobi clan, and its owner is "Sarutobi Hiruzen".

Sarutobi Ryo started to handle the procedures these days.

I spent money to buy the ancestral home from my father.

Make it your own industry.

At first, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very surprised.

But when he thought about his son's success, he realized that he was not only strong and had the will of fire, but he could also make money.

He happily fulfilled his son's wish.

But in fact...things are not that simple.

In Konoha, if you want to gain a foothold, you must have a foundation.

To put it simply, it means having your own house.

After many changes made by Ryo Sarutobi, this ancestral home has begun to be built into a manor... or a "fortress".

The underground space was continuously expanded, serving as a training room, a practice room... and even a prison.

In the future, Sarutobi Ryo will do many, many things here.

They may even demolish the old houses and build a series of high-rise buildings connected together.

As the number of subordinates increases, more and more people will move here.

Even if you are welcoming guests, you need a place to stay, right?

"Ah."

Sarutobi Ryo took the deed and took a look at it.

The transfer procedures have been completed, and the transaction funds have been paid to the seller through an intermediary...his old father Sarutobi Hiruzen.

According to the market price, Sarutobi showed a large sum of money and purchased it.

"Ah Hui, next you should recruit a group of craftsmen and start renovating the old house... Also, from now on, stock up on supplies, especially food..."

Because the Third Ninja World War will start soon.

From the initial friction, to small-scale probing, to mutual invasion along the border, to full-scale outbreak.

Before that, enough food needs to be prepared.

Once a war breaks out, a large number of refugees will flock to Konoha.

Prices will skyrocket by then.

Sarutobi Ryo certainly did not intend to profit from the national crisis.

Instead, the intention was to at least prevent more victims from starving to death at that time.

This is also the reason why the port transportation industry should be opened to the Land of Waves.

The Land of Waves is a neutral country.

Even if a war breaks out, the impact will be minimal, which can ensure that one's own industry will not be greatly damaged.

"Let's do this for now."

Instruct Yamanaka Hui to do these things.

Sarutobi Ryo also sat down cross-legged and began to practice Storm Release and other skills...

Honglian's cries of pain continued to ring out as she was knocked down again and again and stood up again and again.

The factors in the blood gradually awaken.

One day, a bloodline limit called "Crystal Release" will be formed...

......

Time flows.

The days passed by.

Sarutobi Ryo condensed the Storm Release and carried out many Anbu missions during this period.

In terms of qualifications and strength, Sarutobi Ryo is already qualified to be the "Leader of Anbu Team 6".

All that is missing is a suitable opportunity, or a major task, to prove oneself.

This will convince everyone and help you get promoted successfully.

As time goes by, the progress of the first phase of the main task prompted by the system gradually increases.

when......

The system prompts that the main line progress has reached [95%].

Sarutobi knew that this day had come.
