Master, Please Become a Hokage

Therefore...

The preparatory ceremony for the Fourth Hokage election began quickly.

......

"Young master, you're back. Ruri and I heard about your heroic performance."

Yamanaka Kei was somewhat regretful that he couldn't go to the battlefield himself.

As time passed, Ruri's belly grew larger and larger.

Looking at the girl who maintained her emotionless appearance, her petite figure, due to the bulge of her abdomen, inexplicably had a feeling of... even more mature charm.

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at Ruri and immediately suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

But some things can't be erased no matter what.

Arriving in the living room and sitting down, Sarutobi Ryo talked with Yamanaka about what happened on the battlefield, while Yamanaka Kei explained what had happened in the village recently.

"Everyone is saying that Sakumo-sensei will be the Fourth Hokage..."

Yamanaka Kei had no doubt about this.

Listening to the recent rumors circulating in the village, Sarutobi Ryo couldn't help but feel comforted in his heart.

Finally, he had changed many things.

However, for the sake of prudence, he still had to investigate.

In addition, regarding the disposal of Han, the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki, he was temporarily imprisoned and guarded by the Anbu.

He believed that Han's existence would become an important breakthrough for Konoha and Iwagakure to cease hostilities.

Because Sarutobi Ryo heard that... on the other battlefield, Roshi was fighting fiercely with Yekura and others.

But suddenly, he heard the Third Tsuchikage Onoki order a retreat.

Roshi almost fainted.

He believed that Roshi would soon quarrel with Onoki, break with him, and eventually leave.

"Kei, I'm going to see Shikaku and the others later... Go and inform them."

As the next head of the Sarutobi clan, and also a witness to the Ino-Shika-Cho formation.

Sarutobi Ryo decided... to have a talk with Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza.

The specific matters were naturally about the Fourth Hokage election and voting for Hatake Sakumo.

At that time, the Sarutobi, Ino-Shika-Cho four major clans, oh... and the Hyuga clan, that would be at least five major clans who would choose to vote for Hatake Sakumo.

And at this critical juncture, the Uchiha clan was also very worthy of winning over.

The Konoha higher-ups originally planned to cripple the Uchiha, tricking a large number of Uchiha to the front lines of Iwagakure.

But the result allowed them to witness Sakumo-sensei and his own power with their own eyes.

Sarutobi Ryo believed that persuading them... was not a difficult task.

With Fugaku Uchiha's death, it was no problem to find Yashiro, the second-in-command acting leader.

......

At first, Obito thought Rin was doing it for the wounded.

But soon he discovered that Rin didn't seem to be planning to go to Konoha Hospital.

After buying the things, Rin Nohara turned to look at Obito: "Obito, I'm leaving first."

"Ah? Where are you going?"

Obito blinked.

Going home?

Rin Nohara was certainly not going home, she was planning to go to Sarutobi Ryo's place.

Before, on the battlefield, she already had an answer in her heart to Young Master Ryo's question.

No matter what, a doctor's heart is like a parent's.

Taking care of the wounded and the weak is what should be done...

What I mean is, Miss Ruri has been pregnant for so long, she should have regular checkups...

"Rin, I've become a lot stronger recently. Kakashi and I sparred, and he's no match for me anymore."

Obito happily told Rin Nohara about his recent progress.

Ever since he was saved by Madara and transplanted with a messy white half of his body, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

With the dual Sharingan, beating up Kakashi was like playing.

Obito only felt how weak he was in the past.

The current him is invincible among his peers!

"Is that so... Obito, you've improved so much, you've finally realized your long-held dream..."

Rin Nohara nodded, her tone somewhat calm.

Obito had always wanted to defeat Kakashi, and now he had done it, and then?

There was no then.

Because... she no longer cared about those things.

"Rin... let's have a meal together." Obito mustered his courage and made an invitation.

He wanted to spend some time alone with Rin, starting with a date for dinner.

"No, Obito, I have some things to do..."

Rin Nohara婉拒 Obito.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Obito, now that you've become stronger, you should take on your responsibilities... especially since Mr. Fugaku is no longer here, the entire Uchiha clan needs you in many places..."

"Oh..."

Obito was slightly stunned, then nodded.

He felt that Rin was right.

He was no longer a kid now.

Maybe he would be the next captain of the police force.

With Captain Fugaku gone, he should take on the responsibilities of the clan.

"Then, goodbye, Obito."

Rin Nohara turned and left, without the slightest intention of lingering.

"Rin..." Obito looked at Rin's departing back.

Rin was as gentle as she used to be.

But... it seemed that something was still a little different recently.

After he was injured, the entire ninja world had undergone earth-shattering changes.

So had everyone else.

Sensei Minato always seemed to have something on his mind.

Kakashi had become much more mature.

Rin's words... seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

Itchy.

His hair was so itchy.

Obito began to scratch his head, then scratched his body.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

It was as if... it was as if... small grass was about to break out of the soil.

The Wood Release cells in my body... are restless...

Obito's body trembled, staggering, slowly turning and heading towards the road home...

"I hope there won't be any problems... It would be terrible to become like Tobi and the others..."

Chapter 94. Rin Helps Sarutobi Ryo Expel Toxins

Sarutobi Ryo's residence.

In the mansion, Rin Nohara, who had just arrived, was diagnosing Hinata Ruri's pregnancy.

After probing with medical chakra, Rin Nohara found that the fetus was growing well and there were no defects.

The ninja world... medical ninjutsu is such a convenient thing.

Even if there is a problem with the baby, it can be detected in advance.

"Congratulations, Miss Ruri..."

Rin Nohara took off her right hand placed on the other party's wrist, her tone containing a hint of unspeakable meaning besides blessings.

"......"

Hinata Ruri nodded slightly, as a thank you.

"Periodic diagnosis, I'll trouble Rin from now on." Yamanaka Kei put his hand on Rin Nohara's shoulder, smiling.

Looking at the interaction between the three girls, Sarutobi Ryo's gaze was far-reaching.

When the three finished chatting, Yamanaka Kei accompanied Hinata Ruri back to the room, and the huge living room was suddenly left with only Sarutobi Ryo and Rin Nohara.

"Rin, thank you for your hard work."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded, affirming Rin's arrival.

She must have thought about the decision before coming this time.

"That, Young Master Ryo..." Rin Nohara raised her eyes and stared at Sarutobi Ryo.

The so-called maiden's heart.

Sarutobi Ryo clearly observed the posture of the girl in front of him.

Obviously, Rin Nohara didn't want to give up the feelings in her heart.

Emotions are something in the heart that no one can erase.

"Miss Ruri, her... and your child are very healthy..."

Rin Nohara thought for a while, using such a sentence as the opening remark for the conversation between the two.

But everyone knew that the drunkard's intention was not in the wine.

If you want the other party to take the lead, it must be on my side... Sarutobi Ryo thought.

After all, you can't let a shy girl confess.

So...

"Cough cough, Rin, after continuous combat on the battlefield, my body is slightly uncomfortable..."

Sarutobi Ryo coughed, feigning physical discomfort.

Rin Nohara's eyes quickly lit up, finding a way to move further.

This kind of vague, unclear thing is called... ambiguity.
