Master, please become the Hokage

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to take another step forward.

the other side.

Sarutobi Ryo appeared on the scene with Ruri and the others: "Minato, you are here."

The two sides met, and Namikaze Minato was a little surprised to see Sarutobi Ryo appear: "Master Ryo..."

Since Young Master Liang has appeared, does that mean that he and Ye Cang have fought in person?

"Yes, Ye Cang has been here before."

Sarutobi nodded.

"We mustered all our strength to barely defeat her, but... just when we thought we had captured her, we only managed to capture a shadow clone..."

Sarutobi Ryo's words made Namikaze Minato slightly stunned.

Because he couldn't tell whether this matter was true or not.

"That shadow clone just now said a lot of nasty things to us..."

"Is that so?" Namikaze Minato hesitated.

"As you can see, this place is badly damaged."

Sarutobi Ryo said, pointing to the hall that was being rebuilt.

"If you don't mind, I'll find a hotel for you to stay in."

After hearing what Sarutobi Ryo said, Namikaze Minato and the others had to leave the manor and go to a local hotel.

After settling Minato Namikaze and the others and chatting with them for a while, Sarutobi Ryo was ready to leave.

"..."

Minato Namikaze watched Sarutobi Ryo's shadow disappear into the darkness, and couldn't help but think over and over again in his mind.

"Minato, I always feel like this guy is lying to us." Kushina snorted.

"I think should not be."

Minato Namikaze smiled, turned around and walked back to the hotel.

No matter what the true situation is, as long as Master Sarutobi Ryo does not really defeat Ye Cang or capture her.

Then his fame would not continue to rise.

The rest... shouldn't be a problem...

Chapter 42. Infuse Ye Cang with the will of fire!

When we returned to the manor, the craftsmen had already left.

The sky also became completely dark.

In another hall, Ryo Sarutobi faced everyone from the transportation company and listened to their recent reports.

"My Lord...I want to sharpen myself."

Honglian knelt on one knee and realized her own shortcomings.

Faced with Ye Cang's crushing defeat, she finally realized the importance of strength.

Even the white-haired [Kakashi] who just followed Minato Namikaze should not be underestimated.

Honglian, whose competitive spirit was aroused, felt that this place could no longer allow her to improve her abilities further.

"Well, from now on, you will join me and follow my Anbu Team Six..."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Sarutobi Ryo directly let Honglian join the ANBU Team 6.

The outbreak of the Ninja World War is a good time to hone your strength.

The industries here will also be gradually transferred and handed over to other managers.

Once the war breaks out, this port will sooner or later be attacked by Kirigakure, so the focus will shift to Wave Country, and Sarutobi Ryo is determined to win it.

Wait until everything is arranged.

In the hall, only four companions remained: Yamanaka Kei, Hinata Ruri, and the Umino couple.

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at them, and the Umino couple were confused as to why Master Ryo didn't tell the truth.

Or is it that the captured Ye Cang is really just a shadow clone?

Because Ye Cang has been famous for too long and is a well-known strongman in the Sand Village, the two of them are really not sure whether Master Liang has caught the real body...

It's normal to have such doubts.

After all, Ye Cang's reputation was too great. How could it not be shocking that Young Master Liang defeated Ye Cang in no time?

The reason why Sarutobi Ryo was not prepared to tell the truth to others was because he had his own considerations.

In addition to infusing Ye Cang with the will of fire and obtaining the bloodline limits of Swift Release and Scorch Release, a bold plan also arose in Sarutobi Ryo's mind.

This not only concerns Konoha's victory in the Third Ninja World War, but also the future of the Ninja World!

"I will try again to get some information from Ye Cang's shadow clone, because the shadow clone may disappear at any time..."

Sarutobi stood up and left his seat.

The Umino couple looked at each other, and the doubt in their eyes faded slightly.

As expected...it's a pity that we didn't catch the real body.

"Come on, Liuli, I'll take you out for a walk..." Shan Zhonghui took Liuli out of the manor and prepared to go to the night market to play.

Now that the war has begun, there won’t be much free time like this anymore.

......

Deep underground, candlelight flickers.

When Ye Cang regained consciousness, he had become extremely weak.

The secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan failed to destroy her brain.

The tenacious Sand Village hero still held on.

But this also made her lose all her energy and had almost no strength left.

"You..." Ye Cang glared at the boy in front of him fiercely.

The information in his mind was taken away, and Ye Cang wanted to commit suicide on the spot to apologize.

After all, because of her momentary carelessness, the Kazekage-sama's plan was leaked. This was really...

"I'm quite interested in your plan."

Sarutobi Ryo stood in front of Ye Cang with his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Cang was slightly stunned.

"In Konoha, having three elders is already a headache enough, but you have more than a dozen old guys in the Sand Village. You must be having a headache every day..."

Sarutobi Ryo's gentle words left Ye Cang a little confused: "What do you want?!"

"The Sandaime Kazekage's strategy is to root out the termites in Sunagakure. It's a good plan..."

Sarutobi Ryo continued.

"However, there will be many obstacles in this process. Even Luo Sha will become a stumbling block on the road of your plan..."

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo's words made Ye Cang's expression gradually become solemn.

How much does this guy know about us Sand Village? Damn... Could it be that the woman from the Yamanaka clan has dug out all the information in my mind?

No, that's not right.

It would take several days to fully explore a person's mind, even for Yamanaka Inoichi.

Ye Cang confirmed that she was only tormented for a short while.

"It's true that Luo Sha is the Kazekage's disciple, but his interests are on the side of the elders... Of course, if he knew that the Sandaime Kazekage was still alive, he wouldn't have the courage to continue to compromise with the elders..."

In the original novel, Luo Sha kept compromising with the elders and eventually killed Ye Cang.

Later, when Gaara became the Kazekage, the situation was similar because the elders were really difficult to deal with.

In the original novel, Ye Cang was blindly loyal because she did not anticipate the elders' shamelessness.

In this world, under the influence of the Third Kazekage, Ye Cang has begun to realize the shortcomings of the Sand Village.

Judging from the results.

When Rasa becomes the Kazekage, the Sand Village will gradually decline, and eventually it will even have to rely on Rasa's magnetic escape technique to subsidize gold mining and selling to maintain its economy.

But if Ye Cang becomes the Kazekage, the Sand Village will become even more powerful.

From Konoha's perspective, a weakened Sunagakure is obviously more in line with Konoha's interests, but that is nothing but short-sightedness.

In the long run, considering the Akatsuki organization, Infinite Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Madara, Otsutsuki aliens... and so on.

Only a powerful Sand Village can provide sufficient assistance.

In the original work, Naruto and Gaara do have a good relationship, with both sides helping each other and achieving a win-win situation.

Sarutobi Ryo currently plans to achieve this step in advance to lay the groundwork for the future.

"Ye Cang, I have a suggestion..."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the Sunagakure lady who was tied to a chair in front of him with burning eyes.

The fair skin, illuminated by the candlelight, caught Sarutobi Ryo's eyes.

Although he was born in the Land of Wind, he has not been eroded by the wind and sand at all.

The few small wounds on his body added to his battle-worn heroic charm.

The proud figure, set off by the backless dress, shows Ye Cang's absolute confidence.

"You help me, I help you, what do you think?"

"Varied--?"

Before Ye Cang could react.

In the darkness, the Sarutobi clan's summoning weapon slowly rose up, just like the rising red sun.

Dazzling and shocking.

The system prompts that at 20% progress, you can obtain Swift Escape, so...

"Come and eat something first, don't be polite, I'll feed you..."

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the shocked face of the lady, her fiery red lips clearly visible.

The next moment, he walked forward.

pat.

The delicious food landed on Ye Cang's smooth and white nose.

Ye Cang stared at the special food of the Fire Country with wide eyes in disbelief.

There's no way, because this is just too...

next second.

Hey~!

Ye Cang: "Woo~!"

The night is getting darker.

The rhythm of the night and the Will of Fire set meal entertain guests from Sand Village who have come from afar.
