Master, Please Become a Hokage

Then, Sarutobi Ryo and Hyuga Hizashi brushed past each other.

The latter swayed slightly, his lips moving.

He seemed to be saying: “Ruri... I'm entrusting her to you, Young Master Ryo...”

*Thump.*

Hyuga Hizashi collapsed into a puddle, unconscious.

“Waste!”

The head elder of the main house cursed inwardly.

Little did he know that Hyuga Hizashi had no fighting spirit and was 100% determined to throw the fight.

Soon, the head elder of the main house, with a grimacing face, began his desperate struggle.

Because he knew very well that if he didn't break through today, the fate of those few people would be exceptionally miserable.

“Ah!”

He roared, sending out Gentle Fist strikes from a distance.

*Boom!*

The advanced form of Eight Trigrams Palm, Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher, allowed his chakra to mix with compressed air, creating something resembling a laser cannon.

After one strike, everything was destroyed.

Whether it was the wall or the trees outside.

It plowed a terrifying path straight to the outside world.

After delivering this palm strike, the head elder of the main house didn't show any joy on his face, but immediately turned around.

Without him knowing, Sarutobi Ryo had silently appeared behind him.

Relying on Swift Release movement, Sarutobi Ryo didn't cause the slightest ripple.

“Gentle Fist!” The head elder of the main house roared, the chakra in his palm glowing with a substantial blue light.

“Rock Smash!”

As soon as Sarutobi Ryo attacked, an earth-shattering force howled through the air.

The fist, exploding like thunder, slammed heavily into the old palm.

*Boom!*

Strong Fist VS Gentle Fist.

Using magnetic field rotation, combined with Swift Release and taijutsu.

Sarutobi Ryo's fist directly exceeded the speed of sound, causing a terrifying sonic boom.

After one punch, the head elder of the main house flew backward.

Crashing through houses, breaking through walls, and finally flying outside.

Sarutobi Ryo took a step, using Swift Release Instantaneous Body Technique, almost instantly catching up.

“Rotation!”

The head elder of the main house, getting up from the ground, immediately used Rotation.

After Rotation ended, Sarutobi Ryo fell from the sky with a *thump*.

Sarutobi Ryo, who looked bloody all over, didn't have the slightest dimness in his eyes.

On the contrary, they became even brighter.

*Chirp!*

A streak of blue light suddenly flew out from Sarutobi Ryo's back.

With a buzzing sound, it instantly cut the head elder of the main house in half.

“Kusanagi Sword... Empty Blade!”

After the assassination, Sarutobi Ryo murmured the name of this move.

After the chakra control was improved, the new ability of the Kusanagi Sword was also unlocked.

Just like in the original story, when Orochimaru controlled the Kusanagi Sword to stab Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Ryo also learned the same move from this Kusanagi Sword.

It looked like he was using Sword Control Technique.

The Kusanagi Sword flew out, turned around, and quickly returned to Sarutobi Ryo's back, entering the scabbard.

“……”

A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the head elder of the main house, and until his death, he couldn't believe that he would be killed so easily.

*Splash...*

The rain was still falling.

Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi were lying in the puddle.

Hyuga Hayume was crying.

Hyuga Ruri's eyes... were slowly lighting up.

……

Not long after, Sarutobi Ryo simply bandaged the wound and asked his subordinates to collect the remains of the head elder of the main house.

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were arrested.

Hyuga Ruri was placed in a carriage.

She, who had not slept for several days, slowly closed her eyes at this time, and snuggled up to Sarutobi Ryo.

Her outstretched arms tightly wrapped around Sarutobi Ryo, as if afraid of losing him.

Sarutobi Ryo looked ahead, driving the carriage slowly back towards Konoha.

The road was bumpy, but peaceful.

Kage-level powerhouse!

That night.

Everyone returned to Konoha.

Hyuga Hiashi's defection from the village will be punishable by death, this is a definite crime.

Hyuga Hizashi, on the other hand, was coerced and not voluntary, so he will only be symbolically imprisoned for a short time.

And the treatment of Hyuga Hayume and Hyuga Ruri, who are tools for passing on the family line, is even clearer.

Hyuga Hayume was placed under house arrest.

Hyuga Ruri was directly transferred to Sarutobi Ryo's command.

For most of the Hyuga clan members, things happened too fast for them to react.

At a time when Konoha was in danger, a family rebellion was no small matter.

So, after careful discussion by the high-level officials of Konoha, it was decided to secretly solve this difficult problem.

Just like in the original story... the high-level officials of Konoha secretly solved the Uchiha problem.

The death of the head elder of the main house does not need to be explained to the outside world.

After all, the head elder of the main house has been living in seclusion for many years, and even if he suddenly dies, no outside ninja will care.

Within the Hyuga clan, it is claimed that the elder suddenly died of a sudden illness.

As for Hyuga Hiashi, the high-level officials of Konoha are preparing to announce to the outside world that Hyuga Hiashi was seriously injured while performing a mission and is currently recuperating.

A defection turmoil was quickly suppressed and subsided.

However, the changes in the Hyuga clan that followed were the real beginning.

“Sarutobi Ryo, who do you think should be the leader of the Hyuga clan?”

In the Hokage conference room, the four high-level officials of Konoha stared at Sarutobi Ryo sitting opposite them and asked this question.

At this time, it was already late at night.

The disposal of the Hyuga clan has been discussed for most of the time.

The remaining question is who will succeed the Hyuga clan leader.

The Hyuga clan cannot be without a leader for a day.

Hyuga Hiashi was seriously injured and imprisoned.

At present, the Hyuga clan needs someone to preside over the overall situation.

Outsiders are obviously impossible, so they still have to choose from within the Hyuga clan.

At present, the Hyuga clan's main family members currently have... Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hayume, Hyuga Kō and his mother.

Hyuga Kō.

Sarutobi Ryo had already investigated his information.

The Byakugan that was lost this time, and the Hyuga main family ninja who died in battle, was Hyuga Kō's father.

Many people may not be familiar with Hyuga Kō.

In fact, this extra has some background.

In the original story, when Pain attacked, he released a super-large Shinra Tensei, pressing everyone underneath.

The Hyuga extra who climbed out of the ruins and shouted Miss Hinata was Hyuga Kō.

The official official book "Book of Array" clearly states that Hyuga Kō... is also a member of the main family.

In this era, Hyuga Kō is just a child. Just learning Gentle Fist and literacy.

If he is to be established as a puppet clan leader, it is obviously not very suitable, because he is too young.

Hyuga Kō's mother also has no talent, but is only prominent because of her status as a member of the main family.

Knowing the death of Hyuga Kō's father, she is depressed all day long, and it seems that her days are numbered.

“I think Hyuga Hizashi is the most suitable.”

Sarutobi Ryo said his opinion.

Hyuga Hizashi is very talented, and has always been frustrated.

If he could replace his brother and become the leader of the Hyuga clan, he would definitely feel much better, and... Hyuga Hizashi would not betray Konoha.

— — The premise is to control Hyuga Hiashi.

Because the means to launch the Caged Bird are currently only in the hands of Hyuga Hiashi.

“Hizashi, huh……”

Several high-level officials were a little suspicious.

Hyuga Hizashi is a member of the branch family...

“Everyone, Hizashi's skills are comparable to Hiashi's, in my opinion, replacing Hiashi is no problem……” Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his colleagues, very approving of his eldest son's opinion.

“It can only be this way.”

Nezumi Koharu and the others nodded.
