Master, please become the Hokage

Many ninjas would set up seals in their minds.

Whether it's an illusion type or a technique similar to a small barrier, the purpose is to protect information from leaking out of the brain.

"It shouldn't be Ye Cang who did it." Sarutobi Ryo shook his head, not thinking that Ye Cang would do that.

Before being betrayed, Ye Cang loved her people like her own children. As a hero of Sunagakure, she would never do such an unrighteous thing. At least someone would do it for her.

Considering Maggie's "talent in sealing", it is likely... that she set up the mental barrier herself.

Both the official comics and the official novels have shown the troubles of the barriers set up in the mind.

Even for Yamanaka Inoichi, it would take a lot of effort and the assistance of many people to break the seal that Pain casually left in the mind of a supporting ninja from Amegakure.

Yamanaka Hui is Yamanaka Inoichi's cousin, so her abilities are beyond doubt.

But at present, without the assistance of special machines and help from others, it is impossible to decipher the spell in Maggie's mind in a short time.

So what should we do? Everyone was in a dilemma.

"To extract intelligence, there's more than just digging into your brain..."

At this moment, Sarutobi Ryo stretched out his hand, the ice chakra melted, and Machi's eyes became clear again.

"!"

The first thing she did when she woke up was to fight back, but she found her three companions lying on the ground, their lives uncertain.

This made her hesitate.

Sarutobi Ryo said, "If you want to protect the lives of your three companions, then tell us the information."

"..."

Maggie's eyes widened, clearly filled with surprise, and she was saying...you're despicable!

Then she showed an expression as if she was ready to die.

"The ninjas of Sunagakure...are not afraid of death!"

In order to protect his village, he would do anything, even at the cost of sacrifice.

"Master Liang, the ninjas of Sand Village have grown up in difficult environments since childhood, and their willpower is generally amazing..."

The Kaino couple reminded that sand ninjas are born in poor mountains and bad waters.

These people...are not easy to deal with.

"Ah."

Sarutobi Ryo certainly knew this. In fact, he knew Sunagakure better than most Konoha ninjas.

As a fire scientist, what is there that Sarutobi Ryo doesn't understand?

Jiraiya believed that a ninja was someone who could endure.

Orochimaru believes that a ninja is someone who has learned all the ninjutsu.

The teachings of the successive Kazekage, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations, were all about "forbearance."

This kind of ninja is different from Jiraiya's ninja.

The teachings of the three Kazekage are because the environment in Sunagakure is difficult, so... we have to endure.

If you want to survive in such a harsh environment, you have to endure, constantly endure...

It is precisely because of this teaching and the hardships of reality that the Sand Village ninjas have such tough and resolute personalities.

For example, in the original book.

An example is when Moonlight Gale used a knife to chop Maki, but Maki didn't even frown.

"A ninja is one who controls himself. He is able to endure even injustice. This is the way of ninja."

As Sarutobi Ryo said this, Machi's eyes slowly widened.

Because, these words...are the teachings of Lord Kazekage.

How could he, a Konoha ninja,...

"I understand you better than you think."

Sarutobi Ryo reached out and grabbed Machi's collar.

"Now... I'm giving you a choice. If you want your three companions to survive, just follow my instructions..."

Ryo Sarutobi chose to change the track.

He did not continue to ask Machi to reveal information about Sunagakure.

Instead, he planned to disguise himself as a Sand Village ninja and sneak into the Sand Village with Machi.

In this way, we can go deep behind enemy lines.

"But this is too dangerous, Master Liang." The Kaino couple couldn't help but exclaimed.

Even they couldn't think of such a bold and adventurous way.

“Sometimes, you just have to take risky actions.”

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the few people.

"Everyone, I'll leave this place to you for now."

"Humph!"

Maggie's expression went from shock to determination.

She snorted coldly, her expression becoming resolute.

Obviously, he agreed to Sarutobi Ryo's conditions.

But she resolved that as soon as she returned to the village she would warn all her companions, even at the cost of her own life.

After all, if the Hokage's son could be killed, it would definitely play a huge role in changing the situation of the war.

"Let's go."

Using the transformation technique to disguise themselves as a Sand Ninja, Sarutobi Ryo and Machi disappeared into the night.

"..."

Yamanaka Hui turned his head and looked at the girl with white eyes who had a strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask gently.

"Liuli, are you worried about the young master?"

"..."

The girl with white eyes remained silent.

After a moment, he nodded.

Throughout her life from childhood to adulthood, her two teammates...are the rare warmth she can feel.

so......

"Don't worry, the young master now possesses three bloodline limits, making him a rare and powerful person..."

Shan Zhonghui comforted him.

Chapter 32. Maggie, I want you to become the weapon of the will of fire!

In the vast night, two travelers stood at the entrance of a crescent-shaped oasis.

Although it was dark, the place was still brightly lit.

This oasis attracts many wealthy people and tourists who are curious about the desert scenery.

The purpose is to experience things that are prohibited in ordinary cities, such as gambling, or some crazy adult nightlife.

It can be said that this is a luxurious oasis of extravagance and decadence.

If you insist, it's the ultimate enhanced version of the Fire Country's "Tanshoku Street".

This place is neither the territory of the ninjas nor completely under the control of the daimyo.

The nobles of the Wind Country and the powerful people of Sunagakure divided this oasis together.

Simply put, it is a no-man's land.

Many legal provisions of Sand Village and Wind Country will be ineffective here.

The only thing that matters is the power that comes with money and power.

This oasis also symbolizes the darkest place in the Kingdom of Wind and the Sand Village.

One of the main scenes in the official novel "Gaara Hidden Tale" is this crescent-shaped oasis.

This is the officially designated corrupt area in the country.

"What are you doing here?" Maggie glanced at Ryo Sarutobi, who was disguised as a companion, and her eyes were full of disgust.

At first, she thought that this young master would go directly to Sunagakure.

"Has it been a long time since I last showered?"

Maggie scoffed.

The ninjas of Konoha would definitely get confused if they ran to the Land of Wind.

"I know the Water Style: Waterfall Technique." Sarutobi Ryo glanced at her and replied calmly, without any anger.

Water Style: Waterfall Technique is a C-rank ninjutsu.

In the original Shippuden, when Yamato assisted Naruto in his training, the artificial waterfall was created using this technique.

As long as there is underground water, the spell will take effect, breaking up the ground and drawing out the water.

So... as long as a ninja knows this ninjutsu, he doesn't have to worry about dying of thirst, and taking a bath will be no problem at all.

Upon hearing this, Maggie immediately shut up, because continuing would only make her look boring.

Soon, under Sarutobi Ryo's strong request, Maggie used the transformation technique and entered a high-end hotel with Sarutobi Ryo, who had changed his appearance again.

Maggie, who grew up in the impoverished Sand Village, had never seen such a grand scene.

Whether it was the waiters in suits or the luxurious lobby of the hotel, they all made her feel dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

"W-What do you want?"

Follow Sarutobi Ryo to a table and sit down.

Sarutobi Ryo casually ordered some high-end food and drinks.

Then, under Maggie's gaze, he began to slowly enjoy his dinner.

"Your Sand Village is materially poor. Even the Kazekage...is very frugal in his food, clothing, and daily expenses."

Sarutobi Ryo spoke casually, which made Maggie feel a little uneasy.

"Here, however, there's a life of extravagance and decadence. Anyone you pick out lives a more luxurious life than Fengying. Have you ever considered why?"

Konoha has three troublemakers: Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En, and Danzo. They represent the interests of the vast majority of families.

And there are more than a dozen troublemakers like this in the Sand Village!!!

In the original work, Luo Sha even sacrificed Ye Cang in order to compromise with the interest groups of the Elders.

This point cannot be said to be completely similar to the experiences of Ringo Ayuri and Hatake Sakumo, but it can be said to be exactly the same.

"Half of the assets here were established by the elders of your Sand Village. In other words, it is the interests of many upper-class families..."

"!"

After hearing Sarutobi Ryo's explanation, Machi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but couldn't help but think of the plan of the Third Kazekage.

Expel the elders...

So that's the reason?

"You, the grassroots ninjas of Sand Village, fight for your lives every day, and even eating is a problem. But the elders and their families are living a life of luxury, enjoying material desires that are even more luxurious than those of the Kazekage..."
