Master, please become the Hokage

After learning Crystal Release, Sarutobi Ryo began a new round of practice.

Click, click, click!

The Crystal Release Chakra was transformed into black crystal and rose like a wall.

This move is modeled after the B-level Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall.

However, because Crystal Escape is mixed with Yin Escape, its defense and functionality become stronger.

It can be said to be the ultimate enhanced version of Earth Flow Wall.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Ryo performed another attack seal in the empty underground hall.

"Crystal Escape: Breaking the Crystal and Subduing the Dragon!"

Click, click, click!

Countless crystals spread and grew wildly.

Then, a ferocious crystal dragon roared across the air and slammed heavily into the huge wall.

Boom! !

There was a huge earthquake underground. In terms of attack power, I wonder how many times it surpassed the water dragon bomb.

"sharp......"

Sarutobi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He kept using Crystal Escape to simulate various conventional moves of other attributes, and had a lot of fun for a while.

The morning passed quickly, and Sarutobi Ryo simulated at least dozens of similar ninjutsu characteristics.

"I remember that although the Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai is omnipotent, it also has a fatal flaw: it is afraid of "sound" ninjutsu."

Sarutobi Ryo thought about it and thought to himself.

In the original work, Orochimaru built the Sound Village and had a bunch of ninjas under his command who could use sound ninjutsu.

Various ultrasonic and infrasonic waves are the nemesis of crystal escape.

That's why Orochimaru can easily clamp Guren.

"It's always good to have many skills. To me, these weaknesses are not weaknesses..."

Because this is already the sixth bloodline limit he has obtained.

After integrating the Crystal Release, Sarutobi Ryo's physical fitness improved significantly again.

Currently, maintaining 20 shadow clones is not a problem.

At this moment, Sarutobi Ryo felt that he had endless energy in his body.

The stronger strength gave Sarutobi Ryo greater confidence, and his entire temperament transformed again.

"Almost... Loulan should have a reply by now."

Sarutobi Ryo gathered his preparations and prepared to go to Loulan.

Chapter 51. Scoring twice, a sharp review of Kakashi

The Hokage's office in the early morning.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was giving instructions regarding matters concerning Loulan.

"Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shiwei, Akimichi Choza. The three of you, along with Sarutobi Ryo's ANBU Team Six, will travel to Loulan together to quell the coup there and find a way to rescue Queen Sara..."

After a period of investigation, the Konoha high-level officials confirmed that Loulan had been replaced.

If it was just a simple coup, Konoha would certainly not intervene immediately.

But the problem is that Loulan is currently relying on the power of dragon veins to carry out large-scale armament.

The entire city-state began to mobilize its citizens into military service.

They produced various puppets day and night, as if they were planning something.

From a strategic perspective.

Now that the Third Shinobi World War has begun, an unstable small country will bring unpredictable risks to Konoha's war situation.

In order to suppress this trend and allow Konoha to concentrate on fighting the Sand Village.

It is very necessary to pacify it.

"Hokage-sama..."

Minato Namikaze glanced to the side and saw Sarutobi Ryo standing leisurely.

History...began to look different.

So, should we let Kakashi join us on this mission?

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a second and then made a judgment.

"Hokage-sama, I request that Hatake Kakashi also be allowed to carry out this mission."

Namikaze Minato handed Kakashi the task list.

After becoming a Chunin, Kakashi performed well and rushed towards becoming a Jonin.

Although Kakashi's upper limit is locked due to his poor dynamic vision.

But it's no problem to become an ordinary jonin.

As for Obito and Rin, they were preparing for the Chunin Exams. As Genin, they would not be involved in this mission.

"Um......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the information.

This mission was classified as S-level.

Kakashi is just a Chunin...although in special circumstances, Chunin will also be assigned such difficult tasks.

But it is always an exception.

Different from the animated theatrical version.

In the animated theatrical version, this mission was only classified as A-level.

In this time and space, because of Honglian's early discovery and the investigation by Konoha's Anbu, the difficulty level of the mission suddenly became S-level.

After all, the puppet weapons all over the city are no joke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen first used his eyes to signal to Namikaze Minato that he had no other intentions.

Then, he looked at his eldest son.

"Sarutobi Ryo, what do you think?"

Hatake Sakumo is Sarutobi Ryo's teacher.

Sarutobi Ryo is also quite familiar with Kakashi, and has even commented on Kakashi's qualifications, which all correspond.

After considering many factors, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to listen to his eldest son's ideas.

"Hokage-sama, I think this mission is a good opportunity to hone his skills... Kakashi is too arrogant and has never been beaten by an iron fist. This mission is just right for him to open his eyes..."

Sarutobi Ryo replied immediately.

Although the final mission may cause everyone to lose their memory due to Minato Namikaze's sealing technique.

But the physical situation will still remain.

What I mean is that sealing techniques can seal memories, but they cannot seal physical phenomena.

If Kakashi is injured during a mission or suffers a severe mental trauma, these marks will still remain.

So this mission can also help Kakashi see the reality more clearly.

"Well, let's go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly, knowing that Sarutobi Ryo would protect Kakashi on this mission, so... that would be no problem.

......

Soon, the group left Konoha.

When Kakashi learned that he would participate in an S-rank mission, he was very excited.

Hatake Sakumo is still alive.

So the Kakashi in this world is still rather arrogant and self-satisfied, without any gloomy undertones.

More proud than calm, and seems more impulsive...or reckless.

Along the way, the group crossed the plain.

Kakashi ran while looking at Sarutobi Ryo beside him: "Master Ryo, my father said... If I have any questions about Taijutsu, I can come and ask you..."

Kakashi's sudden words were somewhat provocative.

I do want to ask for your advice.

Might Dai became famous in one battle before, and Akai's physical skills became more and more sophisticated.

Just as Sarutobi Ryo said before.

Some people start out slow but eventually run faster and faster. Akai is one of them.

Kakashi must have felt a bit pressured after seeing Kai's rapid growth.

In terms of physical skills, Hatake Sakumo is not good at the kind of fights that involve one move at a time and punches at a time.

So...if Kakashi wants to improve in this area, he can only come and ask for advice from Sarutobi Ryo, who is also a master of physical skills.

In the entire Konoha, there are probably only a few people whose physical skills can surpass Sarutobi Ryo, such as the Third Hokage, Princess Tsunade, Might Dai Haiku...

After thinking about it, and considering that he had been ridiculed by Sarutobi Ryo before, Kakashi naturally came close to him.

"Physical skills?"

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at Kakashi and his tone was cold.

"Even Kai, who you consider to be the last one, will be at the top of the ninja world in 20 years at most. And with your talent, even if you train for 100 years or until you die, you will never be able to catch up with him..."

Sarutobi Ryo's words stabbed Kakashi's self-esteem.

Kakashi's face immediately turned pale: "You are talking nonsense!"

He retorted subconsciously.

How could he be worse than Akai? And even after 100 years of practice, he still couldn't catch up? How was that possible?

"..."

Minato Namikaze's eyes flashed at the side.

With the memory of the future seen by the Great Toad Immortal, he knew that what Young Master Liang said was true.

In the future, Akai will truly become the strongest ninja in physical skills among mortals.

Even if Kakashi practiced for 100 years, let alone 1000 years, he would still be able to survive under Kagami's exhaust.

"Why would I lie to you? The truth is hard to hear, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears. Don't you know this?"

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at Kakashi and wanted to give him a warning.

"Your advantage is that you grow quickly in the early stages, which is equivalent to having strong comprehension and a high starting point..."

"I do have the idea of ​​developing my own ninjutsu, but obviously compared to those strong ones, it's only average..."

"Your dynamic vision is poor... The moves you developed will most likely be useless. It's a failure..."

After this sharp comment, Kakashi's face turned paler and paler.

"Ah... In this life, I'm lucky to be an ordinary jonin. There's no hope..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked away and fell silent.

Because the more I talk about it, the more useless Kakashi seems.
