Master, Please Become a Hokage

After all, the person she liked already had the crystallization of love with someone else......

Watching Nohara Rin leave in a hurry, even stumbling, Sarutobi Ryo kept staring at her back until she completely disappeared.

The so-called playing hard to get.

Sometimes, it's better to be frank and straightforward to solve some things.

Back in the tent.

Sarutobi Ryo sat down cross-legged and began a new round of cultivation.

After a period of understanding, the Eight Gates Formation has now successively opened the second, third, and fourth gates.

The prerequisite for cultivating the Eight Gates Formation is inhuman physical training, maximizing physical fitness.

In the original manga, Kakashi does not know the Eight Gates Formation.

In the TV animation, Kakashi was given an original ability to open the first gate.

And what's interesting is......

Even though Kakashi's total value was second only to the elderly Third Hokage at the time.

His single numerical values in some aspects are not higher than Rock Lee's.

Sarutobi Ryo is referring to...... several numerical values of physical skill proficiency.

In this regard, Rock Lee during the Chunin Exam period was already more outstanding than 27-year-old Kakashi.

Therefore, to cultivate the Eight Gates, it is necessary to maximize several numerical values such as physical skills, which is a necessary entry requirement.

When the physique is reached, the Eight Gates Formation can be opened.

If the physique is not reached, it can never be opened.

On this premise, adding the option of "talent for cultivating the Eight Gates Formation" is the key to whether a person can truly practice to the later stages.

Sarutobi Ryo's physical skills are off the charts in all aspects.

He also has multiple bloodline limits to strengthen his physical fitness.

Currently, in terms of physical skills, he is second only to his elderly father, the Third Hokage, in his prime, and Sakumo Hatake himself.

It can be said that among all the existing ninjas in Konoha today, Sarutobi Ryo is one of the most qualified ninjas to cultivate the Eight Gates Formation.

I remember in THE LAST movie animation.

Rock Lee and a group of Konoha ninjas who had cultivated the Eight Gates Formation formed the Eight Gates Crane Wing Formation to meet the meteor falling from the sky.

Multiple people cooperated to directly blow up the meteor.

From this, it can be seen that the Eight Gates Formation is an excellent forbidden technique that can be circulated and learned by others.

Combining this information, Sarutobi Ryo logically opened up and began to impact the "Fifth Gate."

"Before the war starts, it's best to be able to break through to the Fifth Gate...... and by the way......"

Sarutobi Ryo formed a seal and used the Shadow Clone Technique.

More than 20 shadow clones sat around, crowding the tent.

These shadow clones have lightning chakra flowing within them.

Combined with the techniques Kakashi himself explored...... the by-product of Chidori stimulating the body, to activate nerves and muscles.

Plus, the part of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode deduced from analyzing A's arm.

Combining the two, a complete Lightning Release Armor Mode that can be used by oneself can almost be created.

Using the Eight Gates Formation...... superimposed with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, two techniques that place a great burden on the body, working simultaneously, to increase strength by a level, is what Sarutobi Ryo is doing.

Not long after, Tsunade sent back news of the negotiations.

Tsunade, who arrived at Sunagakure, met the Third Kazekage himself and confirmed that he was indeed still alive.

And the elders of Sunagakure, that group of troublemakers, were indeed completely cleaned up.

This shows Sunagakure's determination to move towards a bright future.

As for the Fourth Kazekage, Yekura, she is still on the front line, so Tsunade did not see her.

As for the bitter and pathetic Rasa, he was also thrown to the front line, another battlefield.

The Third Kazekage's intention is obvious, he wants him to reflect on what it means to be a qualified Sunagakure ninja.

After the two sides met, Tsunade first returned Ebizo.

Seeing that his younger brother was fine, Chiyo's anger also subsided a lot.

Her brother's matter made her realize that continuing to fight would not lead to a future.

Sometimes, being a little kind, perhaps...... can usher in a better future.

"I thought it would be the Third Hokage's son who would come......"

The Third Kazekage was a little surprised.

After all, Tsunade's departure from Konoha is not a secret, many people in the ninja world know it.

In his opinion, this matter should have been handled by that young man, Sarutobi Ryo.

"However...... since it is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, that weight is naturally enough......"

The Third Kazekage affirmed Konoha's determination.

After a series of negotiations.

In the end...... Konoha is willing to support Sunagakure in obtaining an oasis.

As for the location of the oasis......

The ninja world is so big, there is too much land that has not been reclaimed.

There are indeed some areas near the Land of Wind that can be used as oases.

It's just that if it is not approved by other major countries, once Sunagakure starts to reclaim, it will definitely be attacked by others.

Now with Konoha as support, Sunagakure can safely start operating on the green land adjacent to the Land of Fire.

Seeing Konoha being so generous and willing to give up benefits.

The Third Kazekage is not a pretentious person.

He promised Tsunade.

As long as he lives for one day, Konoha and Sunagakure will form a bond of friendship.

He doesn't know what the descendants will think.

But at least he can give this promise while he is alive.

"Then, Kazekage-dono, let's talk about the joint effort to deal with Iwagakure next......"

Tsunade's face lit up, and she immediately began a new round of secret talks.

In the end, both parties reached an agreement to jointly send troops to the battlefield to resist Iwagakure......

Chapter 86. Four-Party Battle

The news of the secret alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure spread back to Konoha like wind.

The Konoha higher-ups, upon learning the news, immediately passed the news to the front line.

According to the Third Kazekage's arrangement, the Sunagakure team will be led by the Fourth Kazekage, Yekura, to personally consolidate the defense line on the front line.

They will immediately move out once Iwagakure launches an attack on Konoha.

Because of the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold", Sunagakure cannot possibly watch Konoha be destroyed by Iwagakure.

Of course.

Even if Sunagakure and Konoha join forces, their forces are still severely weaker than Iwagakure's.

One thing that Konoha did not reveal to Sunagakure is that...... Konoha is completely strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and has no follow-up power.

The most powerful evidence is that children such as Kakashi, Obito, Rin Nohara, Genma Shiranui, Ebisu, Guy, Ibiki Morino, Raidō Namiashi, Aoba Yamashiro...... are being sent to the battlefield to die.

Last time, when 1,000 Iwagakure ninjas invaded, Konoha had to choose to cut off the opponent's supply route instead of directly annihilating these 1,000 Iwa ninjas.

Although Minato Namikaze successfully stopped the invasion of 1,000 people.

But this team of 1,000 people did not suffer any losses, they just temporarily withdrew to the Iwagakure front line.

The problem caused by Iwagakure's excessive troop expansion is a severe shortage of domestic supplies.

Therefore, Iwagakure will inevitably have a major battle with Konoha.

As for why not Kumogakure.

First of all, although the Third Raikage is dead, A's sworn brother, Killer B, is also constantly honing himself in the war, and finally fought with Minato Namikaze many times, and neither could do anything to the other.

Killer B's title of Perfect Jinchuriki has also gradually spread.

The ninjas of Konoha and other parties watched helplessly as Killer B's strength increased, eventually turning into a Perfect Jinchuriki.

Ōnoki is very clear.

Killer B can't do anything to Minato Namikaze because Minato Namikaze runs fast.

But there will always be times when the Yellow Flash can't run away.

Iwagakure's large-scale invasion of Konoha is the best way to invalidate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Everything is a tactical conversion......"

Sarutobi Ryo came to the command camp after leaving seclusion, according to the reports of the reconnaissance team.

A large number of Iwagakure troops are gathering on the border.

The mighty force of more than 10,000 Iwa ninjas is truly awe-inspiring.

"Actually...... I'm not too sure......"

Jiraiya looked at the map in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Not sure about what?

Minato Namikaze thought for a while and immediately understood his teacher's thoughts.

Even if Sunagakure and Konoha join forces, I'm afraid...... they may not necessarily be Iwagakure's opponent.

Konoha's life and death will be witnessed today.

Konoha will activate the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki...... Kushina Uzumaki at the last moment.

This is something Sarutobi Ryo didn't tell Jiraiya, and Jiraiya is still being kept in the dark by the Konoha higher-ups.

And what Jiraiya is considering is......

Iwagakure has two great generals, who are also Jinchuriki.

The Four-Tailed Jinchuriki...... Rōshi, who is a little older than Sarutobi Ryo and Minato Namikaze.

The Five-Tailed Jinchuriki...... Han, who is slightly older than Kakashi.

Although these two are young, they have both made great achievements in battle.

This time, Iwagakure is afraid of going all out and letting the two Jinchuriki also take the field.

"Don't worry, Jiraiya-sama."

Sarutobi Ryo immediately responded.

"According to the information found by the Anbu and Root, Rōshi is not a Perfect Jinchuriki...... Han is even younger and even less likely......"

As long as it is not a Perfect Jinchuriki, the combat power will be infinitely smaller than a wild tailed beast.

Rōshi and the Four-Tails have a bad relationship, and it is impossible for him to become a Perfect Jinchuriki in this lifetime.
