At this time, Sakumo Hatake still adhered to the mentality of avoiding if he could.

Sakumo Hatake and his son encountered too many hardships in the original story.

But what cannot be avoided will ultimately not be avoided.

"Many times, resistance... is the only way out."

Hiruzen Ryo stood up, bid farewell to Sakumo Hatake, and walked outside.

Leaving only Sakumo Hatake alone in the house, lost in thought.

......

At night, Hiruzen Ryo returned home, but stopped before even entering the door.

"Asuma?"

"Eh?!"

A surprised voice rang out, and then Asuma and a girl of the same age ran out from behind the door.

"Big brother, how did you find me?"

The somewhat sturdy child in front of him was none other than Hiruzen Ryo's younger brother, Asuma Sarutobi, the second son of Hiruzen.

"Young Master Ryo..."

The girl with long, slightly curly hair and red eyes beside him was the famous illusion ninja, Kurenai Yuhi's daughter, and also Asuma's childhood friend.

Kurenai Yuhi respectfully greeted Hiruzen Ryo and stood expressionlessly behind Asuma, seeming somewhat aloof in personality.

Hiruzen Ryo knew that this was the result of Kurenai Yuhi's stern personality and strict upbringing.

After staring at Kurenai Yuhi for a few seconds, the system didn't pop up a prompt; Hiruzen Ryo thought, 'That's good.'

But maybe it's not time yet?

Shaking his head, Hiruzen Ryo immediately dispelled the boring thought.

"Big brother, I heard you became a Jonin, congratulations, congratulations..."

At this time, Asuma's personality was still relatively carefree, looking like the village chief's silly son.

In the original story, Asuma's personality only underwent a major change when he approached adulthood, reached his rebellious phase, and broke up with his old father.

Hiruzen Ryo reached into his pocket, took out some money, and placed it in Asuma's hand.

Asuma immediately beamed with joy.

"Spend it sparingly."

Hiruzen Ryo instructed.

As the son of the Hokage, Asuma was not as bright as he appeared on the surface.

"Kurenai, help keep an eye on him."

Hiruzen Ryo also instructed Kurenai Yuhi to help keep an eye on his cheap younger brother.

Why should I help keep an eye on him?

Kurenai Yuhi subconsciously wanted to ask, but her face turned red.

At a young age, she was clearly... more precocious than Asuma in matters of men and women.

She looked at Asuma and slowly pursed her lips.

In the Naruto world, there are quite a few precocious children. Including Obito Uchiha, who was crazy about love... and so on.

Asuma, having received his pocket money, happily left with Kurenai Yuhi, and only then did Hiruzen Ryo close the door.

"Young Master, how did you discover Asuma just now?"

Yamanaka Kei asked curiously from behind.

When she didn't activate her sensory abilities, she had a keen sixth sense, but not to the extent that she could discover others from a long distance.

Although within a distance of 3 or 4 meters, a Jonin could hear another person's heartbeat. But at that time, they were at least 6 or 7 meters apart.

She also knew that her young master was not a sensory ninja, so she was a little curious.

Yamanaka Kei had another question.

Why was her young master able to accurately kill 5 enemies in the darkness when they were in Whirlpool Country?

"I seem to have awakened a special sensory ability."

Hiruzen Ryo turned his head, raised his finger, and pointed to his right eye.

"I can see in the dark..."

Hearing Hiruzen Ryo's statement, Yamanaka Kei's first reaction was to immediately distance herself.

The house was not lit, and the courtyard was pitch black.

Yamanaka Kei ran 10 meters away, raised her right arm, and asked, "Young Master, how many is this?"

"5 fingers."

"How about now?"

"1 finger."

"Wow~!" Yamanaka Kei ran over, her face full of surprise.

The night vision module loaded into his right eye could be actively turned on when Hiruzen Ryo needed it.

At this time, everything in front of him was as bright as day.

And according to the switching of the night vision module's functions, it could be switched to thermal imaging mode.

Just now, when Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi were hiding behind the door, Hiruzen Ryo saw the heat radiating from them through thermal imaging.

When observing himself.

Hiruzen Ryo could see himself like a big fireball, emitting light and heat.

Several times that of Yamanaka Kei.

Tens or even hundreds of times that of Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi.

Obviously, the stronger the creature, the more exaggerated the chakra radiation emitted.

So the feeling this right eye gave Hiruzen Ryo was not like an eye, but more like... a super-era technological product.

Is it a gift from the system?

Or is it... the system itself?

Hiruzen Ryo was not clear.

Yamanaka Kei: "Young Master, your night vision ability is a bit like the Byakugan of the Hyuga..."

"Yeah."

Hiruzen Ryo nodded casually, naturally not mentioning the system, because this kind of thing was too shocking.

If he said it was a sensory ability, it wouldn't arouse suspicion from others.

"Let's go inside..."

......

Time passed, and the stars filled the sky.

Hiruzen Ryo finished his training and took a bath.

Tomorrow he would report to Danzo, and he didn't know what kind of assessment awaited him and Yamanaka Kei.

In his mind, Hiruzen Ryo thought of the figure of Hinata Ruri.

What would be the fate of her, a member of the branch family?

"Striving to improve strength and influence is the right path..."

Shaking his head, Hiruzen Ryo dried his body and walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as he came out, he ran into Yamanaka Kei, who had come to the living room to drink water.

Their rooms were at opposite ends of the courtyard, one east and one west.

Because the weather was getting warmer, Hiruzen Ryo was naked from the waist up, revealing his strong muscle lines.

Yamanaka Kei was slightly stunned and immediately averted her gaze.

Hiruzen Ryo stared at the girl in front of him.

Blonde single ponytail, snow-like skin, slender figure, fiery red small mouth......

Unknowingly, the little girl who used to follow behind him had grown into a very beautiful woman.

Looking at the system prompt in front of him.

Hiruzen Ryo slowly approached.

"Young Master..."

Close at hand, the scent of shower gel mixed with the male aura wafted over, Yamanaka Kei slightly raised her head, looked at the handsome face in front of her, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

The moonlight shone in from outside, serving as the function of a lamp.

Hiruzen Ryo raised his right arm and gently pinched her chin.

The girl's breathing couldn't help but start to become rapid.

The next second, her eyes suddenly widened: "Ugh~."

Hiruzen Ryo kissed her.

After a moment.

She exhaled like an orchid, slumped in Hiruzen Ryo's arms: "Young Master~~~."

Looking at the girl in front of him whose eyes had turned into a pool of spring water, Hiruzen Ryo did not continue.

Tomorrow was an Anbu mission, of course, he couldn't mess around.

"Rest well."

After saying that, Hiruzen Ryo released his hands, and Yamanaka Kei, after standing still, ran away shyly.

In any case, the concept of love in this world is relatively very conservative, so this kind of reaction is not surprising.

Hiruzen Ryo glanced at the prompt that popped up in front of him, and a certain change quietly arose.

[Inject the Will of Fire into Yamanaka Kei]

[Current progress: 10%]

......

Chapter 18. Orochimaru's Kindness

The next morning......

The sky had just begun to dawn when a visitor quietly arrived.

"Who is it?"

Yamanaka Kei opened the door, and the cold-faced man in front of her caused her expression to freeze.

"Orochimaru-sama?"

"Heh heh... Hiruzen Ryo should be home, right?"

The pale-faced, long-haired man has a pair of snake-like vertical pupils.
