Master, please become the Hokage

At this moment when the sun rose to the middle of noon, the leading Iwagakure jonin held a sheathed long sword in his arms and squinted his eyes quietly.

Unlike the sweaty subordinates next to him.

His breathing was so steady and his expression was extremely calm.

Seeing this, others kept looking at him with envy.

"It is said... that Master Koto's blade possesses a unique cold property. Now it seems the rumors are true..."

The Iwagakure jonin named Benitu has fair skin and a well-proportioned figure.

Compared to his fellow sturdier companions, his body could be described as "thin." Of course, this was only relative.

Holding a three-foot short sword, a faint chill wafted from the scabbard.

It is this chill that dispels the heat.

The land and water shape the people, and the main attribute of most of the Iwagakure ninjas is "earth".

He is good at using earth-style ninjutsu and ninjutsu.

Among them, naturally, many masters of physical skills were born.

Among them... there are also strong ones who use swords and knives.

For example, in the original work, during the Third World War, in the part drawn in the comics alone, the young Kakashi directly encountered two sword-wielding Iwagakure jonin masters.

After the confrontation, Kakashi nearly died twice.

He was once saved by Minato Namikaze using Flying Thunder God.

He was able to escape danger once thanks to the cooperation of Obito who had opened his eyes.

The red soil before us has an even more resounding identity...

"It is said that the Tsuchikage-sama intends to train Kouki-sama, and values ​​him even more than Kouki-sama..."

In the secret history, there are many things that are not recorded.

In the original work, Sarutobi Ryo's original form was only revealed on the title page.

Tsunade's parents were never even mentioned.

But just because it’s not mentioned doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

"After all... Mr. Kozuki is the Tsuchikage-sama's most beloved youngest son..."

Someone sighed.

Red Earth, his elder brother is Yellow Earth.

And he is the youngest son of the Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki.

Hongtu did not inherit his father's strong physique like his brother Huangtu.

Therefore, spend more energy on discovering your other strengths.

Eventually, Hongtu developed powerful physical and sword skills.

With fierce attack and swift stature, the enemy is terrified.

In order to make his second son's combat power stronger, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki specially found a sword for him.

This three-foot-long sword emits a faint cold light and possesses extremely strong toughness and cutting power.

The unique "Cold" feature can freeze the enemy's actions and even their thoughts!

While everyone was resting and discussing things...

Outside, the sentry on guard rang the bell.

In the oasis, the large bell that was originally used by the natives to summon the villagers has now become a source of alarm for invaders.

Hear the bells ringing.

Hongtu opened his eyes instantly.

Others also stood up from the ground and looked outside.

Soon, someone ran in and reported, "Lord Azuchi...something bad has happened! People from Konoha and Sunagakure are coming to kill us!"

"Konoha and Sunagakure?!"

When everyone heard the news, they were all surprised.

"It's Ye Cang of the Burning Release, and the recently famous "Black Death God"... the Hokage's son Sarutobi Ryo!"

"Um?!"

If Hongtu had a blank expression on his face before, when he heard that the Hokage's son also appeared here, he immediately understood that Sunagakure and Konoha might have really reached an alliance.

This is a major matter that must be reported.

"You...return immediately to the village and report this matter to Lord Tsuchikage."

Hongtu looked at an accompanying Anbu beside him.

The Iwagakure Anbu nodded and immediately disappeared from the ground.

By using earth escape techniques to move stealthily, many Iwagakure ninjas can move freely across the earth.

"Son of the Hokage..."

Hongtu then looked outside.

"I've been hearing about him a lot lately. As an Anbu, he's always in the spotlight. He's quite flamboyant..."

After Sarutobi Ryo joined the Anbu, he almost never wore a mask.

I always wear black.

In addition, every attack will inevitably lead to death.

Over time, the nickname of the Black Death spread like wildfire.

In the eyes of many people, acting as an Anbu without a mask is an extremely ostentatious behavior.

"Is he really that capable, or is he just a fraud? Let me be your witness!"

What Hongtu and the others didn't know was...

Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, wearing an Anbu mask properly, hid in the crowd.

If he knew that Konoha White Fang was also there, he would be much more cautious... maybe even choose to retreat in an orderly manner...

Chapter 23. Two Sons of Shadow

It was expected that people from Sunagakure could come here.

After all, they have been committing crimes at the border this week.

But it was unexpected that Konoha could connect with Sunagakure.

Hongtu came outside, thinking as he walked, his face very calm.

"Yakura is a bigger threat, and the Hokage's son is unknown..."

Because he had never fought with Sarutobi Ryo, Hongtu didn't know what Sarutobi Ryo's true strength was.

"I only heard that he has the ability to use ice escape... Interesting..."

In addition to the Sarutobi clan's innate divine power and the seven attributes, the Hokage's son Sarutobi Ryo can also use ice escape.

This is confirmable information.

"Let me fight him!"

Hongtu immediately looked at his companions and assigned them strategies for dealing with the enemy.

......

the other side.

Sarutobi Ryo and Ye Cang also led everyone into the oasis. After killing a sentry on guard, the other party triggered the alarm.

Looking at the Iwagakure troops gathering in the distance, he compared the military strength of both sides.

Obviously, we have the advantage in terms of military strength.

"A bunch of rabble..." Ye Cang waved his hand: "Everyone, move!"

"Oh~!"

The Sunagakure ninjas shouted and rushed towards the enemy camp in unison.

Ye Cang was the first to take the lead.

Sarutobi Ryo also followed suit and rushed to the front of the team.

The first round of confrontation was the throwing of ninja tools.

As both sides ran, they threw shurikens, kunai and other flying props at each other.

The originally concentrated team quickly dispersed, and the sound of clanging was endless.

It's different from the fighting methods of the warriors back then.

Ninjas have very strong dodging abilities, so their formations are usually spread out.

It was clearly a battle between two squadrons, but they managed to form a long line.

After leaving behind several bodies.

A figure that didn't even try to dodge caught Sarutobi Ryo's attention.

The opponent was holding a long sword, and without even unsheathing the blade, he casually blocked the flying props flying towards him.

"Ok?"

Soon, Sarutobi Ryo discovered that the other party was coming for him.

laugh!

As the blade was unsheathed, the opponent threw the discarded scabbard towards him fiercely.

Sarutobi Ryo slapped his hand, knocking the scabbard away, and immediately started fighting with the opponent.

"Son of the Hokage?"

"Son of the Tsuchikage?"

The two second generations recognized each other's identities.

An amazing fighting spirit ignited in Sarutobi Ryo's eyes, and Hongtu was not willing to give in either.

Both of them are the sons of the Shadow and are symbols of the two Shadow's faces.

If they perform poorly, they will not only bring shame to the village, but also bring shame to their fathers.

This also makes the growth trajectories of Sarutobi Ryo and Aoi Tsuchiya surprisingly similar.

Both of them honed their strength through arduous training.

Without much conversation, one can see the similarities between them with just one glance.

laugh!

The three-foot-long green sword was swung.

The cold air was surging above, and under the scorching midday sun in the desert, the cold air emitted by Qing Feng even caused the twisted hot air to condense into water droplets.

Just from the first sight, Sarutobi Ryo knew that this was no ordinary sword.

laugh!

Sarutobi Ryo took off the big sword from his back without hesitation.

This 1-meter-long sword was the trophy obtained from the Storm Release Ninja Sarui last time.

In terms of thickness and width, it is far superior to the sword in Hongtu's hand.

clang!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying.
