Master, Please Become a Hokage

In this timeline, Obito isn't corrupted and hasn't awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Therefore, Yagura, not being controlled, naturally begins to slowly change Kirigakure from within.

Yagura, who disapproves of the continued brutal regime, strives to improve Kirigakure.

Changing the internal affairs, rather than engaging in external wars, is what he desires most.

With Kirigakure's ambiguous attitude progressing, the Third Shinobi World War seems to be slowly drawing to a close.

Iwagakure, confronting the alliance of Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Konohagakure, also has no good solutions.

In this stalemate, negotiations have to be brought to the table.

On this day,

Iwagakure's envoy delivers the message of negotiation.

Sunagakure and Amegakure also send people.

The four forces are divided into two sides, looking at each other, and begin the first round of talks.

At the meeting, tensions run high.

The attitudes towards each other are naturally very unfriendly.

But reality must move forward.

Faced with various realistic situations, each side has to retreat or make various compromises.

Because Iwagakure didn't send the Tsuchikage himself, naturally Sakumo Hatake from Konoha didn't participate in the discussion either.

Because everyone knows that the first round of negotiations will not yield any results.

As the envoy, Ryo Sarutobi sees a familiar figure at the meeting.

The Fourth Kazekage's disciple, ... Maki.

After not seeing her for a while, the little girl has grown up, beginning to shed her childishness and slowly becoming... womanly.

Although still a girl, her every move already has a sense of allure.

Ryo Sarutobi knows that this is his past accomplishment.

And seeing Ryo Sarutobi again, Maki's eyes flash with a hint of fear, obviously with fresh memories of the past.

It can be seen that she doesn't really want to be here.

This is due to pressure... after all, she is the Kazekage's disciple, so she naturally has to face various predicaments and things.

"Miss Maki... you've come from afar, it must have been hard..."

Looking at Ryo Sarutobi starting to chat with Maki, Amegakure's representative... Yahiko crosses his arms, quite curious.

The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, wearing the Amegakure forehead protector, seemingly a kind of premonition.

He is wearing the Amegakure ninja uniform, not the Akatsuki's special uniform.

Perhaps... this indicates that he has already submitted to Hanzo?

Within Amegakure, a divided force is ultimately not needed.

With a great enemy at hand, facing the pressure of the Iwagakure army, some things have been forced to change.

"I saw you once before, and this meeting has further confirmed some things for me..."

After staring at Ryo Sarutobi for a while, Yahiko speaks.

"The Son of the Hokage... Ryo Sarutobi, you have a dark side in your heart, but sitting in this position shows that you can recognize the evil of people very well, and also have the ability to control yourself, so everyone has elected you to this position..."

Talented individuals are rare in the world.

Yahiko is the kind of person who has the ability to recognize people.

The first time they met was on the battlefield, fighting against Iwagakure together.

This time, he still sees through Ryo Sarutobi's essence at a glance.

Just like in the original story,

Obito pretends to be Madara, fooling the Akatsuki members, but Yahiko directly sees through it.

Some people just have very good eyesight.

But because of this, they will become a thorn in the side of others.

Yahiko is too much of a hindrance, which is why he dies in the original story.

Excellent eyesight, thinking ability, but not matching in strength, that's how it will be.

A character who possesses the protagonist's personality and thinking, but does not have the protagonist's plug-in ability...

This is Ryo Sarutobi's evaluation of Yahiko.

But in this world, there are too many capable people, and those who are normal in thinking are hard to find.

So to some extent, if Yahiko can inherit Hanzo's position, then Konoha will definitely gain a solid ally in the future.

"Well, I've experienced a lot of things since I was a child... but those things haven't completely affected me..."

Ryo Sarutobi looks over, indicating that he has also been in society for a long time, just like you.

You are untainted by the filth.

And part of me is the thing in the dirt.

Ryo Sarutobi, who possesses both light and darkness, is able to see everything clearly.

"Then I'll just be frank... Iwagakure's envoy, we all know that this meeting will not have a final result, so... next time, send someone with a higher status."

Ryo Sarutobi goes straight to the point, directly pointing out the essence of this meeting.

Don't waste time, we have other things to do.

After speaking, Ryo Sarutobi ignores the other party's expression and starts chatting with Yahiko and Maki.

This negotiation meeting turns into a dinner party.

The three parties conduct friendly discussions, talking about the affairs of their respective villages.

From Yahiko, he learns that Akatsuki has indeed integrated into Amegakure, becoming a special operations unit that only listens to Hanzo.

On Sunagakure's side,

After Yekura took office, because he climbed up from the bottom as a commoner, his popularity is just like Sakumo Hatake, completely no problem.

One call, a hundred responses, that's Yekura.

Especially...

Yekura herself is beautiful and has a good figure.

Women have a natural advantage in this regard.

There's no way, who told her to be good-looking?

Ryo Sarutobi can't help but think of the past... the interaction with Yekura...

When will we develop further?

Watching the natural conversation between the three parties, the Iwagakure envoy couldn't stand the humiliation and left the scene directly.

In the end, this meeting ended in such a peaceful atmosphere.

Afterwards, Ryo Sarutobi invites Yahiko and Maki to stay in Konoha for a few days to stroll around and have fun.

In fact, it is also to create an opportunity for Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan to meet with Jiraiya.

As the teacher of the three, Jiraiya must also have a lot to talk about with them.

As for Maki...

Ryo Sarutobi arranges accommodation for Yahiko and the others, and then takes Maki to another villa.

Looking at the girl walking beside him, showing her exquisite figure.

After being nourished, it will cause such a change in body shape.

Facing Ryo Sarutobi's gaze, Maki has to lower her head, not daring to make direct contact.

The psychological shadow left that time was too great.

Chapter 114. Obito: Rin, who do you like after all!

In terms of height, Ryo Sarutobi is not the kind of particularly tall and strong.

But the slightly strong body sets off Ryo Sarutobi's bravery.

Maki's height is slightly shorter than Nohara Rin, so Ryo Sarutobi is completely much taller than her.

Being watched more and more by Ryo Sarutobi's gaze, the girl from Sunagakure lowers her head even more.

"I fought with the Fourth Kazekage-dono before, after not seeing him for a while, I miss him very much..."

Ryo Sarutobi suddenly mentions Yekura.

The purpose is to have Maki send a message to Yekura, to find a chance to renew their relationship.

Yekura, who has become the Kazekage, has another identity, which is very exciting.

But Maki couldn't hear the meaning in it.

She is currently only considering her own problems.

She is afraid of being treated badly again in Konoha. This kind of thing is difficult to tell others.

Unlike the Iwagakure and Amegakure who came together.

Sunagakure is more accustomed to acting alone.

Therefore... even if an envoy comes, they are usually alone.

This time, Maki came alone, which happened to create some opportunities for Ryo Sarutobi.

So, Ryo Sarutobi took Maki into the villa.

The environment inside is very comfortable, especially the house in the depths, away from the street, can isolate various noises.

Although Ryo Sarutobi didn't prepare in advance, it's no problem to come up with such a set now.

"It's not early, I'll have someone bring dinner later... Is there anything you can't eat? What do you want to eat?"

Ryo Sarutobi asks step by step, there is completely no problem with etiquette.

But that look makes Maki even more afraid.

"E-Eat... Anything is fine..."

Looking at the restrained appearance of the Sunagakure girl with a similar style to Nohara Rin, Ryo Sarutobi nods, and then turns and leaves.

Maki looks at Ryo Sarutobi's back, and can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that today will be like this.

However, she doesn't know that this is not the end.

In order to obtain Sunagakure's intelligence, it is obviously much simpler to pry it out of Maki, who is already a disciple of the Kazekage.

With a little trick, you can get the news of this ally without leaking the information...

That night.

After eating dinner, Maki, because of three days of rushing, wind and sun, finally can take off her robe and start cleaning in the bathroom.

The sprinkler sprinkles clear water rustlingly, causing her to let out a satisfied sigh.
