Master, please become the Hokage

The Umino couple offered their congratulations. They had no complaints about the decision. After spending some time together, they believed Sarutobi Ryo was perfectly qualified for the position.

Faced with everyone's congratulations, Sarutobi Ryo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

The system prompts are clearly visible in front of you.

【Fire Will System】

[Main Story Mission: The Road to Hokage! Infuse the Will of Fire into Konoha's Anbu!]

[Main storyline and mission objective: Before the Third Ninja World War, pass the Anbu assessment and eventually become the leader of Anbu Team Six!]

[Mission Reward: Real power. You can achieve one request within the scope of your duties as the leader of Anbu Squad 6.]

then.

The tasks for the next stage have changed.

【Fire Will System】

[Current Main Story Mission: The Road to Hokage! Hatake Sakumo survives and comprehends the true meaning of the Will of Fire!]

[Current Main Story Mission Objective: Help others to the end, survive the Third Ninja World War, become the "Junior Ninja Squad Leader", and ultimately help Hatake Sakumo become the "Fourth Hokage"!]

[Mission Reward: True Power]

Just as everyone was congratulating Sarutobi Ryo.

Outside, an Anbu came in and delivered a message.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically.

Soon, he said to everyone: "Everyone... I'm afraid the situation is going to become more complicated."

why?

"The Sandaime Kazekage... is missing."

Everyone: "!"

......

At the same time, in the distant Sand Village.

Somewhere hidden underground late at night.

The Third Kazekage sat cross-legged here, listening quietly to Ye Cang's report.

Ye Cang knelt on one knee and told everything that had happened in the past few days.

Next to Ye Cang, there was a little girl with chestnut hair who looked a bit like Nohara Lin.

This little girl is Ye Cang's disciple, her name is Maggie.

At that time, when Scorpion poisoned the body, it was not Ye Cang who went to the office.

Because Ye Cang had not returned to the village at that time.

Because she was familiar with her master's voice, appearance and smile, Maggie used the transformation technique to disguise herself as Ye Cang and cooperated with the Third Kazekage to perform such a drama.

Scorpion, who was guilty, could not tell that Ye Cang was pretending in a short time.

After Scorpion left, the Third Kazekage immediately entered the secret room prepared in advance.

"Yeah, I understand." He nodded, not at all surprised by the chaos in the village.

Through Ye Cang and Maggie as spies.

He can understand everything without going out.

As for the "person" who drank the tea at that time, he was just a shadow clone.

"Lord Fengying, please forgive my stupidity for not understanding the meaning of doing this..." Ye Cang raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

The Sandaime Kazekage sneered and said, "If we don't do this, how can we clean out the pests within the village? Just wait and see... the fun will begin soon..."

Chapter 27. Ye Cang is the Wind Shadow? Sarutobi Ryo's Wangshu Sword

The Kingdom of Wind is a poor country.

The Sand Village located in it has been weathered by wind and sand.

The limited oasis is the foundation for the survival of the people of the Wind Country and the Sand Village.

However, in such an environment with limited resources, many termites still breed.

Back then, the young Sandaime Kazekage had to win over the elders of the major families in order to secure his position as Kazekage.

As time passed, he never forgot to practice and became the strongest Wind Shadow.

On the other hand, the elders became hideous one by one.

Only a few people, such as Chiyo and Ebizo, still stick to their original aspirations.

With the death of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, she saw too much darkness and gradually became discouraged and despaired about the future of the village.

This also shows that the Sand Village is gradually declining.

As a Kazekage, he inherited the teachings of the First and Second Hokage and became the leader of the village.

The Sandaime Kazekage believed that the village could not continue to decline like this.

We must find ways to reform it.

In the past, he had tried various methods, but he could only temporarily suppress these elders and prevent them from going too far.

But the Third Kazekage knew very well that once he fell, the elders would stretch out their claws again and seize the already meager benefits of the Sand Village.

After meeting and talking with Konoha's diplomats.

The Third Kazekage finally made up his mind to clean up the Sand Village in a big way.

On the surface, it is not possible to touch the elders directly because the families are too deeply involved.

Therefore, we need to sneak into Chencang and let them seek their own death.

The plan was to take advantage of Scorpion's opportunity to assassinate him and pretend to be missing.

In fact, he was secretly observing the ugly behavior of the elders.

When these elders confirm that I have completely disappeared and begin to slowly become arrogant and seek death to a certain extent... it will be time for me to make a thunderous comeback and eliminate them with the speed of lightning.

But doing so would raise some major problems.

The only ones who are disloyal are the elders and some of the upper class.

The middle and lower-level ninjas, however, are truly willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the village.

Many, many people will die as a result of this political reform.

These blood-soaked poems are the best evidence to accuse the elders.

"Ye Cang, for the future of the village, I have to do this..."

The Sandaime Kazekage lowered his eyelids, a hint of heaviness flashing in his eyes.

The death of the Tsuchikage's son.

His own disappearance.

The connection between these various events will become the introduction to the "Third Ninja World War".

Or in other words...the straw that broke the camel's back.

The higher-ups all knew that the Second Shinobi World War was not the end.

The five major countries that have divided up the interests of small countries will launch a new war after digesting the interests.

"When the plan is complete... I will personally resign, and then you will be the 'next Kazekage'!"

"Master Kazekage..."

After listening to the Third Kazekage's analysis of the pros and cons, Ye Cang lowered his head deeply.

Bloodshed and sacrifice are necessary for the arrival of a new era.

"Next, listen carefully..."

The Third Kazekage began to instruct Ye Cang about various arrangements to be made while he was away.

Ye Cang kept saying yes.

Finally, the Sandaime Kazekage handed a scroll to Ye Cang.

It records the Second Kazekage and all his experiences since he practiced Magnetic Release.

Although Ye Cang cannot learn magnetic escape.

But after reading these contents, you will definitely gain new inspiration and take a further step forward on the path of cultivation.

"Go."

After delegating everything.

The Third Kazekage ordered them to leave.

Ye Cang stood up, lowered his head and stepped back.

As a ninja of Sand Village and even more so a hero of Sand Village, she will devote herself to the village until her death.

For the Sand Village...a new future!

......

a few days later.

The Root Ninja sent by Danzo brought back new information.

After continuous investigation, even the loss of several good players, the situation in the Sand Village became clearer and clearer.

A large number of Sand Village ninjas have been moving around crazily throughout the Wind Country these days.

They seemed to be searching for something.

Because if it is just a military exercise, it is impossible for them to be so dispersed, and it is impossible for almost all of them to be mobilized and work in shifts without rest.

In the end, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Sand Village, the spy who sneaked in brought back reliable information.

The Sandaime Kazekage was indeed missing.

And at the same time.

Other villages also learned about this incident one after another.

The disappearance of the "Strongest Wind Shadow" has caused many villages to become restless.

After experiencing the last war, many villages believed that their villages would be able to achieve unprecedented achievements in the future.

The war preparation meetings in each village began.

......

Konoha, Hokage Building, first floor conference room.

Early in the morning, Sarutobi Ryo and Hatake Sakumo arrived here.

Looking at the sword in front of him, the whole body is crystal blue, the light attached to it is as clear as autumn water, the sword body and the hilt are connected, there is no sword guard, and a faint icy air emanates.

Hatake Sakumo could not help but nod and praise: "What a good sword... I have seen Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword before, this sword is probably no less than that Kusanagi sword..."

Hatake Sakumo is indeed an expert with a knife.

The true nature of this sword can be seen at a glance.

"Sakumo-sensei, this could be one of the Kusanagi swords."

Sarutobi Ryo smiled.

"Each Kusanagi sword has its own name. Although it has been lost for a long time, it should also have a new name..."

In the lost chapters, Sarutobi Ryo did not find any more records of the Kusanagi sword, so he decided to name it himself.

"It's called... 'Wangshu Sword'."
