Master, please become the Hokage

That is... almost unbreakable.

The sturdiness is incredible, so there is no need to worry about wear and tear.

Based on this point alone, it can be considered a magical weapon.

What's more, every Kusanagi sword has the characteristic of being sharp, but the degree of sharpness varies.

"I'll study it slowly when I get back..."

Sarutobi Ryo held the blade on his back calmly.

Other companions around kept looking at him with respect.

He negotiated with Lord Kazekage, led by example, and even single-handedly killed the Tsuchikage's second son in just a few moves. This kind of quality... is enough to qualify him for a higher position.

......

One night later.

The distant Sand Village.

It was now late at night and everything was silent.

"Lord Kazekage, thank you for your hard work..."

The door of Fengying's office was gently pushed open.

Scorpion walked in with a plate.

Late at night, the Sandaime Kazekage was still reviewing official documents.

Scorpion looked up and slowly placed the plate on the table.

"It's Scorpion..."

The Sandaime Kazekage looked up with a smile in his eyes.

"Why, Master Chiyo is taking a break?"

Usually at these times, Chiyo would come to bring midnight snacks or refreshing tea.

Today, it’s Scorpio.

"Lord Kazekage, my grandmother has grown old recently, and seeing the appearance of Konoha White Fang, she is inevitably a little depressed..."

"Ah."

The Sandaime Kazekage's eyes changed slightly.

He also felt very sorry for the death of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

Even though the enemy is right in front of you, you still have to consider the overall situation. This is the fate of the upper class.

Picking up the teacup, the Sandaime Kazekage drank the tea in one gulp.

During this process, Scorpion kept a close eye on his movements, fearing that he might make a mistake.

After the Sandaime Kazekage finished his tea, a strange and sick smile appeared on Scorpion's face.

Success...

However, before the smile continued to bloom.

Outside the door, a hurried figure walked in.

"Master Kazekage..."

The person who came in was Ye Cang.

Looking at the dusty figure, Scorpion was slightly surprised.

how so fast !

Judging from the time, Ye Cang will not be back until at least dawn.

Could it be that this crazy woman rushed back from the northern border without even taking a break?!

"Lord Fengying, I will take my leave now."

After Scorpion finished speaking, he left without stopping for a moment.

Ye Cang's appearance means that his plan is only half successful... no, it has failed in the end.

If a real fight breaks out, he is currently no match for Ye Cang.

Damn...

Scorpio was angry.

The drug has obviously been administered, so the plan should be foolproof.

A colorless and odorless poison, poisoning the Sandaime Kazekage to death, and then turning him into his own human puppet of art... That's how it should be.

Scorpion hurriedly left the Kazekage Building, picked up his equipment, and quickly left the Sand Village.

His sudden departure from the village alarmed others.

Leaving the village without a written order was considered an illegal act.

After leaving behind many corpses, new pursuers were sent out...

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the Fengying Building.

When everyone arrived at the Kazekage's office, they saw only an empty room, but no sign of the Third Kazekage himself...

Chapter 26. Promotion...Anbu Team , Team Leader!

The mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage caused the Sand Village to turn their attention to the search.

Scorpion, who defected overnight, killed the pursuing team, and his blood dyed the yellow sand red, thus giving rise to the name Scorpion of the Red Sand.

No one connected Scorpion's escape with the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage.

Two more days passed.

The Sand Village, which was turned upside down, finally realized that the Third Kazekage... was really missing.

......

same moment.

After returning to Konoha, Sarutobi Ryo received treatment along the way and his injuries have completely recovered.

With Sarutobi Ryo's return, the specific details of the mission are described.

When the remains of Red Earth were presented.

What Sarutobi Ryo did set off the entire upper echelons of Konoha.

Killed the son of the Tsuchikage single-handedly.

The impact of this incident will probably affect most of the ninja world.

What will the Tsuchikage do when he learns that his beloved second son has been killed and that Konoha and Sunagakure have connected?

Utane Koharu, Mitokado En and others were very shocked by this.

Obviously, he felt a little troubled by the improvement of Sarutobi Ryo's strength.

The Konoha high-level officials formulated a plan overnight and sent many ninjas to guard the border of the Land of Fire, always on guard against the actions of Iwagakure.

On the other hand, they were also actively contacting Sunagakure, waiting for a reply from the Third Kazekage.

However, the Konoha high-level officials did not know at this time that the situation within the Sand Village was already in chaos.

While they were waiting for a reply, the Iwagakure Village also learned the news.

The name Sarutobi Ryo, like a gust of wind, began to blow across the entire ninja world.

Plus the publicity of Sand Village and Konoha.

Almost all ninja villages knew about the death of the Tsuchikage's son.

"Master..."

That night, Shan Zhonghui ran in excitedly. Having received the first-hand information, she immediately came to report.

"Now the news is all over the place. Everyone knows the name of the 'Black Death God' Sarutobi Ryo~!"

This really suppresses Minato Namikaze, hey.

"Ah."

Sarutobi Ryo's face showed no emotion as he continued to polish the Kusanagi sword while sitting on a chair.

Each Kusanagi sword has its own name and function.

After several days of research, I have a preliminary understanding of the function of this sword.

This sword is three feet long and extremely slender, a bit like Kirigakure's long sword, the sewing needle.

The surface of the sword blade is exquisitely crafted and translucent, flashing with a cold light like water.

It can be confirmed that its material is extremely hard.

Even if you use all your strength to hit or cut, you can't hurt it at all, which is completely consistent with the system's recognition.

In addition, the sharpness of this sword is also better than ordinary weapons.

Cutting a kunai is like a piece of cake.

In addition, its cold nature makes it very suitable for conducting ice escape chakra, and it can be said to be like a fish in water.

Ice Chakra has the ability to freeze.

With this Kusanagi sword, you can even perform more powerful and sophisticated moves and realize new functions.

"What about the top management?" Sarutobi Ryo put down his sword and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Hokage-sama is waiting for you, young master, in the Hokage's office."

Yamanaka Hui stated the views of the top leaders.

After joining the Anbu, Sarutobi Ryo has carried out many Anbu missions and has a brilliant resume.

Now he has killed the son of the Tsuchikage and contributed to the connection between Konoha and Sunagakure.

It is reasonable and logical that such qualifications qualify for promotion.

So...it's probably because of this matter.

"understood."

Sarutobi stood up and quickly went to the Hokage Building with Yamanaka Kei.

......

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Hatake Sakumo with a smile on his face.

"Master Liang, congratulations..."

It was obvious that Hatake Sakumo had already learned the news in advance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was also flushed, and he was looking forward to forming an alliance with Sunagakure.

Even Biwako, who had a very serious expression, showed a rare gentle look, obviously very satisfied with the performance of his eldest son.

The only one with an ugly face.

They are Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.

Danzo remained calm and cunning, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Sarutobi Ryo, you completed this mission very well...very well..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and took out a scroll which contained the appointment of Sarutobi Ryo.

"From tonight on, you are the squad leader of ANBU Squad 6!"

"Congratulations, Master Liang!"

"Master Liang, congratulations!"
