Master, Please Become a Hokage

In contrast, Konoha's White Fang severed one of Ay's arms with a single strike.

Furthermore, even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who acted together died at his hands.

Adding to that the previous capture of Ebizō alive.

Such glorious battle results have essentially secured his position as the Fourth Hokage candidate.

Currently, all that's left is another operation against Iwagakure to completely solidify his position as a candidate.

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded, his eyes flickering.

Actually, he really wanted to say to Kushina.

Becoming the Fifth Hokage is also an option.

It's just that...

If that were the case, he would have to marry later.

This is the best outcome.

Kushina would keep waiting for him until he became the Fifth Hokage.

But... by that time.

Naruto's birth would be completely missed.

Naruto's inability to be born into this world is the biggest anxiety in Minato Namikaze's heart.

Therefore...

He must contend for the position of Fourth Hokage.

It's just that.

Minato Namikaze, who has memories of his second life, deeply understands his limits.

Currently, he doesn't have the opportunity to obtain half of the Nine-Tails and become a perfect Jinchūriki.

Therefore, he can only seek other methods.

During the mission in Rōran, the future version of himself transmitted a portion of future memories back.

Among them was knowledge about cultivation.

His chakra is much more than Kakashi's.

But even so, it's impossible to complete the S-rank Wind Release: Rasenshuriken on his own.

Because a single S-rank Rasenshuriken consumes an extremely terrifying amount of chakra.

If we use the chakra amount of an adult Kakashi, 1 'card', to represent the unit of measurement.

Then...

To practice a single S-rank Rasenshuriken, you need at least 50 'cards'.

After mastering it and optimizing it, it can be reduced to about 30 'cards'.

However, optimization comes later.

Mastering it first is the beginning.

If he wants to obtain Hashirama cells.

There are currently only two channels.

One, cooperate with Danzō or Orochimaru.

Two, wait for Obito to reappear and meet with Obito.

"As expected, the future me... saved Obito..."

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, confirming that this should be the case.

Then, he still needs to be patient for a while, waiting... for Obito to appear.

......

The Sarutobi clan's residence, mansion.

Rin Nohara is conducting some operations in her specially established laboratory.

In the culture tank in front of her, a dark, sturdy arm floats.

This arm is the spoils of war brought back by Sakumo Hatake after severing the Fourth Raikage's arm.

Now, it is placed here for medical ninjas to study and analyze.

Nono'u stands beside Rin Nohara, discussing something with her.

The two of them kept talking, trying to extract the bloodline secrets of the Raikage clan from it... which is the technique.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, commonly known as "Lightning Release Armor."

The difficulty is only B-rank.

Theoretically, the Sharingan can copy it.

However, until now, no Uchiha ninja has been able to copy the Raikage clan's technique.

The reason is that their technique must be used in conjunction with a special physique.

Sarutobi Ryo's idea.

Is like the Second Kazekage, Shamon, observed and studied Shukaku to obtain information on Magnet Release. Analyze, improve, and ultimately obtain Magnet Release that humans can use.

Let Nono'u and Rin Nohara analyze this arm, and finally uncover the mystery of Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

So that he, Kakashi, and others can use it.

"Young Master, Kakashi is here too."

Yamanaka Kei entered the laboratory and said to Sarutobi Ryo.

Sarutobi Ryo, who was observing Nono'u and Rin Nohara doing experiments, nodded, and then walked out of the laboratory with them.

"Young Master Ryo."

Outside in the living room, Kakashi immediately stood up when he saw Sarutobi Ryo arrive.

"Please let me join Anbu Squad Six!"

Chapter 78. Fugaku's Death

If based on the time in the original work, Kakashi should be joining Anbu soon.

In this world line, some inertia is still manifesting.

It's just that it's already floating on the surface, and the real core has deviated beyond recognition.

Kakashi's purpose in joining Anbu is very clear.

He wants to improve his strength so that Obito's tragedy doesn't repeat itself.

The young Kakashi is already a Jōnin.

That is to say, his combat power is on par with the adult Kurenai Yūhi in the original work.

Because Kurenai Yūhi's stats are at the level of a Jōnin gatekeeper.

So, thinking that Kakashi's current combat power is 1 Yūhi Kurenai is also fine.

This kind of combat power is enough to cheer 666 for oneself from the side.

"Yes."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded, temporarily letting Kakashi be listed in Anbu.

After observing for a period of time, if his performance is satisfactory, he will be officially transferred.

Kakashi was overjoyed after hearing this.

Sarutobi Ryo then asked about Kakashi's training.

Kakashi is worthy of being the talent who can invent the S-rank Raikiri, and he does have some talent in Lightning Release.

After some exploration.

He actually came up with something similar to the basics of Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Currently, Kakashi can release Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his nerves, allowing his dynamic vision and reflexes to improve.

Achieving a weakened version of the Raikage's effect.

At the moment when Obito "sacrificed" and he himself blinded an eye.

Born from adversity, Kakashi, who experienced great sorrow, understood the true meaning of Lightning Release.

Unfortunately, if it could have been earlier...

Kakashi shook his head vigorously.

Obito has passed away.

All he can do is look forward and protect his other companions!

Because he didn't inherit Obito's eyes, Kakashi isn't as pessimistic as in the original work.

He doesn't think about Obito through the transplanted Sharingan at every turn.

In the original work.

Kakashi transplanted the Sharingan, opening the door to a new world for Danzō and Orochimaru.

The legend of the eyes actually started at this time.

With Kakashi's successful precedent, Danzō and Orochimaru began a crazy study of the Sharingan.

In this timeline, this didn't happen, so Danzō and Orochimaru naturally couldn't have such wild ideas.

Let Kakashi tell about the experience he has explored.

Sarutobi Ryo learned by analogy.

And through the information analyzed by Nono'u and Rin Nohara from the Fourth Raikage's arm.

In summary, Sarutobi Ryo almost deduced the popularization principle of Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Kakashi accepted Sarutobi Ryo's guidance.

The weather outside... seemed to have a bit of chill.

Kakashi glanced at the sky.

Has the weather changed?

......

A few days later.

Sarutobi Ryo sorted out the feasibility information of Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

After exploration and practice.

And using Kakashi and Ay's arm as a reference.

Sarutobi Ryo is convinced that Lightning Release Chakra Mode is probably like this.

Staring at the records on the scroll, reorganizing it in his mind again.
