Master, Please Become a Hokage

Hinata Natsu’s posture of eavesdropping was extremely obvious.

“I understand…”

Hinata Hizashi did not hesitate at all, directly getting up and rushing out.

Before Hinata Natsu could react, he struck her with a palm.

A moment later, Hinata Hizashi brought Hinata Natsu in, capturing her.

This was determination, and also surrender.

Fire Will Weapon No. 1 - Hinata Natsu!

The Hinata clan has many branch family members.

And some branch family members can find happiness in a life of servitude.

Hinata Natsu was one of those who had been completely brainwashed.

She had been raised from a young age to be a maid serving the main family, and she was completely loyal to the main family.

If Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Hazuki were to marry in the future and have children,

Hinata Natsu would most likely become a child-minder as well.

From this, one can see her position.

Previously, Sarutobi Ryo's frank conversation with Hinata Hizashi was also to confirm Hinata Hizashi's position.

Now, Hinata Hizashi has already made a show of surrendering, showing his determination to make Ruri happy.

Then it was time for his side to take action.

“I will take her back for the time being. If others ask, just say that I have something about Ruri that I want to ask Hinata Natsu about in private…”

Sarutobi Ryo got up, directly grabbed Hinata Natsu, and in the instant of using Swift Release, he disappeared silently from the scene, without even causing a ripple of airflow.

This "Body Flicker Technique" left Hinata Hizashi dumbfounded.

Soon, Hinata Hizashi calmed down.

Even he had not understood Ryo-sama's actions just now.

“Ryo-sama’s strength is probably already at the top level. In the entire Konoha, there won’t be many who are his opponents…”

Hinata Hizashi calmed his mind and quietly closed the door.

For the sake of his childhood sweetheart Ruri being able to obtain happiness, he decided… to bet everything.

Even if he was a branch family member, he had the courage and the idea to resist.

…

Not long after.

Sarutobi Ryo sneaked back to his residence.

In the courtyard, Guren was practicing Crystal Release.

In the dark underground, Hinata Natsu slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes and found that her hands and feet were bound.

Red ropes bound her body, outlining a budding figure with knots.

Her arms, folded behind her back, were tightly knotted.

The Hinata branch family girl, dressed in a maid outfit, immediately widened her eyes.

She looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

“Where is this…”

In the dark underground, candlelight flickered.

Sarutobi Ryo stood in the shadows.

“You’re awake?”

In the quiet underground, there was not a sound, so quiet that even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard.

“Ryo-sama?!”

Hinata Natsu exclaimed in surprise.

She only remembered being knocked unconscious by Hizashi-sama…

Why would Hizashi-sama do that?

“I have something to ask of you…”

Sarutobi Ryo stepped out of the shadows and came to the girl.

White eyes were so conspicuous, coupled with dark green short hair, she had qualities different from other girls.

“W-What is it?” Hinata Natsu struggled subconsciously.

She didn't understand why she had become like this.

And where was this?

“Ruri’s side, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future…”

Sarutobi Ryo slowly asked Hinata Natsu to take care of Ruri.

As the one-sided conversation deepened, Hinata Natsu's expression slowly became calm, and then took on a hint of contempt.

“Ryo-sama, excuse my frankness, Ruri-sama is clearly in a high position in the branch family, but she doesn’t know how to be grateful to the main family…”

Hinata Natsu spoke about Hinata Ruri's faults in a strong tone.

She spoke, and Sarutobi Ryo listened.

The general idea was that Ruri, a member of the branch family, actually dared not to be grateful to the main family, truly ungrateful.

“Oh.”

After listening to her statement, Sarutobi Ryo nodded.

“You’ve been instilled with such thinking since you were young, so it’s normal to have such thoughts. But… just because you’re used to being a slave doesn’t mean others are too…”

Hinata Natsu immediately frowned when she heard the word 'slave'.

Before she could refute.

All kinds of voices immediately sounded.

Hinata Natsu was stunned, and then sluggish.

The summoning weapon of the Sarutobi clan quickly expanded and rose.

“My strength is almost there… so I need someone to be an undercover agent to monitor the Hinata for me.”

Sarutobi Ryo stared at the sluggish Hinata girl and said his true purpose.

According to the timeline.

If it was the original work, it was almost time for Hinata Hizashi to get married.

But in this world, Hinata Hizashi took the initiative to entrust his wife and children, entrusting Ruri's happiness to him.

That is to say, he will not marry Ruri.

But he will inevitably face pressure from the main and branch families.

At that time, it will be more troublesome for him to explain.

Therefore, Sarutobi Ryo decided to insert an undercover spy into the Hinata clan.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the most suitable candidate was Hinata Natsu, who came from the branch family but served the main family.

In this way, he could know about the affairs of both the main and branch families at the first time.

The Hinata clan still retains the slave system.

That group of people… is a bit extreme.

In order to prevent it in advance, it is necessary to insert a spy.

“Ah… ah…”

Hinata Natsu was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.

She opened her small mouth and made ah… ah… sounds.

Her gaze was completely fixed on the weapon summoned by Sarutobi Ryo, which shows the weapon's terrifying degree.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had fused six bloodline limits, was of course extraordinary in strength.

Pa, pa.

He patted the Hinata girl's cheek with the weapon.

She, who was paralyzed on the ground, immediately retreated backward as if frightened.

But at this moment, she forgot one thing: she was bound by ropes, so it was difficult to escape.

Sarutobi Ryo stepped forward gently.

“Come, let’s have a good sparring session and let me see the Hinata clan’s prestige…”

Sarutobi Ryo said, come and spar, don't be polite.

The summoning weapon attacked mercilessly.

Zi ~!

“Ugh ~!” Hinata Natsu took a hit, her eyes looking up at Sarutobi Ryo, almost crying.

And just after the first taijutsu move was made, Sarutobi Ryo slowly said to her: “You, a member of the branch family, came to me… If others know that you came here voluntarily, what will others think?”

Giving Hinata Natsu time to think, after a moment, Sarutobi Ryo continued.

“Others will say that you took the opportunity to join the Sixth Squad of the Anbu through Ruri, deliberately approached me… They will say that you are not chaste and want to cling to me… Right?”

As the glorious inheritor of the Will of Fire.

Absolutely no one would have thought that Sarutobi Ryo would attack Hinata Natsu.

If the truth comes out, others will only think that Hinata Natsu took the initiative to have ideas.

Hinata Natsu, realizing Sarutobi Ryo's implication, immediately showed an unimaginable expression.

She didn't understand how things had become like this.

Sarutobi Ryo gave a low shout, and the summoning weapon struck again.

Hinata Natsu was in pain, but could only look up and silently endure everything.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the underground space, the sparring between the two continued…
