Master, Please Become a Hokage

Rin Nohara didn't go home; instead, she went straight to Ryō Sarutobi's residence.

Hinata Ruri's due date was within these few days.

And her labor started just as she arrived for a follow-up appointment.

That night, at Ryō Sarutobi's mansion, several people began busying about.

Ryō Sarutobi sat in the living room.

Rin Nohara helped with the delivery.

Time slowly passed, and after a period of commotion, with the cry of a baby, Neji was finally born.

Looking at the little baby being held out, the corners of Ryō Sarutobi's mouth couldn't help but curve upward slightly.

Rin Nohara thought Ryō Sarutobi was happy because he had a son.

In fact, that was only one aspect.

Ryō Sarutobi was even happier that he had changed Neji's tragedy.

Hinata Hizashi has been imprisoned for nearly ten months.

Hinata Hizaashi steadily holds the position of head of the Hinata clan, and indeed, many Hinata babies have been born in the past year.

The clansmen all know that the issue of the Caged Bird Seal will likely not continue.

The entire fate of the Hinata clan has therefore taken a different direction.

"Young Master Ryō, congratulations..."

Rin Nohara said with a slightly sour tone.

Looking at the baby's appearance, although still small just after birth, he was already very lovable.

When he grows up, he will definitely become a handsome young man.

And those white eyes inherited Ruri's traits, possessing the same bloodline limit.

Hinata Ruri was a little weak. Looking at the child placed beside her pillow, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Fate... has finally changed...

Even if she has the Caged Bird Seal on her head, Neji's fate has already moved towards complete freedom.

"Ruri, you rest well..."

Ryō Sarutobi sat by the bed, accompanying her.

From childhood to adulthood, all the way, experiencing ups and downs...

Time gradually came to midnight.

The clock struck 12.

Ruri and Neji both fell asleep.

Ryō Sarutobi instructed Yamanaka Kei to help watch over them, and then left the scene with Rin Nohara.

Stepping out of the living room and into the courtyard outside.

The sky was full of stars, shining brightly.

Under the moonlight, Rin Nohara's expression was complicated.

Ryō Sarutobi looked at the sky and then at the girl beside him: "Rin, you've been promoted to Jōnin, and I haven't given you a gift yet..."

Ryō Sarutobi's eyes were bright, seeing through Rin Nohara's thoughts at a glance.

Some things, the time is ripe.

Many things can't be rushed, because like eating, everything must be eaten one bite at a time to make sense.

Rin Nohara, on this side, has reached a certain critical point.

Just because this bite of food can fill her up doesn't mean that what she ate before doesn't count.

It's called when the conditions are right, success will follow naturally.

Ryō Sarutobi looked Rin Nohara up and down. The latter's eyes widened slightly, and she quickly realized Ryō Sarutobi's meaning.

"Rin, let me take you home first..."

Ryō Sarutobi indicated that he would send Rin Nohara home first, and then...

"Mmm..."

Rin Nohara lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

Her face was flushed, and an unimaginable joy surged in her heart.

Her breathing trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but look forward to what was to come.

Soon, the two walked onto the night road.

They walked side by side in silence.

Because it was late at night, there were not many people on the road.

But that doesn't mean there wasn't a single person.

Obito, who couldn't sleep and tossed and turned because Rin rejected him, started training late at night.

He ran around Konoha, back and forth.

And coincidentally, he saw this scene.

So-called destiny.

Some things, no matter how much you change them, will reappear in a miraculous way.

Although the nature will become completely different...

Obito, drenched in sweat, stopped and looked down at the two walking on the street from the rooftop.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why would Rin be with Young Master Ryō late at night?

Could it be a mission from the Anbu?

Obito didn't know about Ruri's birth, and Rin Nohara wasn't one to gossip.

So he began to speculate about it.

Chapter 116. Obito Current

Obito watched as the two walked into the distance.

He shook his head vigorously, dispelled all kinds of thoughts, and quickly followed.

Walking through the night, all sorts of thoughts kept floating in his mind.

Even though Obito didn't want to speculate in a bad direction, he couldn't help but come up with a speculation that even he believed in.

Rin... the person she likes is Young Master Ryō?!

Although this may just be speculation, it is highly credible.

Because Rin always ran to Young Master Ryō's side in the past.

He used to know that the Yamanaka clan's female ninja seemed to be Young Master Ryō's childhood sweetheart.

However, who says childhood sweethearts have to be together?

Moreover, liking someone is something that cannot be controlled.

So if Rin knows that Young Master Ryō has someone, but still likes him...

Obito's chaotic thoughts became more and more confused as he continued to move forward.

Soon, he saw Rin arrive at her doorstep.

"After sending Rin, Young Master Ryō... will probably go back, right? After all, it's so late..."

Obito muttered in his heart.

However, what Rin said next changed his mood again.

"Young Master Ryō, come in... and sit for a while..." Rin Nohara lowered her head and invited softly.

Obito slowly widened his eyes.

Afterward, he comforted himself.

"Obito, don't think wildly, this is just normal etiquette..."

"It's so late..." Ryō Sarutobi looked at the sky, but said it was too late.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Obito nodded quickly, thinking.

It's too late, he should go back.

After all, men and women should not touch each other.

A big shot like Young Master Ryō should avoid suspicion even more.

"Then have a cup of tea before you leave..." Rin Nohara raised her eyes, her big watery eyes looking at Ryō Sarutobi.

Such a reserved her, making such an initiative, then Ryō Sarutobi naturally shouldn't refuse.

So, Ryō Sarutobi nodded: "Alright..."

The two entered the house just like that.

The door was not closed, indicating that Ryō Sarutobi would leave soon.

Obito quietly came to the nearby bushes, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

If he were the Chūnin teenager before the Kannabi Bridge, he naturally wouldn't be able to hear it.

However, now that his strength has grown rapidly, he is completely no less than Kakashi during the Chūnin Exams in the original work...

At that time, Kakashi could hear the heartbeats of everyone in Sasuke's ward in the corridor.

Obito held his breath, and naturally he could hear the conversation between the two.

From the open entrance, the conversation inside came out...

"Rin, I remember that boy named Obito has always liked you..."

Ryō Sarutobi suddenly mentioned Uchiha Obito. 仉

Rin Nohara, who was taking tea leaves, was slightly stunned: "Mmm."

Obito heard the two talking about himself, and couldn't help but listen more attentively.

And Rin Nohara's next sentence completely shattered his defenses.

Rin Nohara: "I only treat Obito as a comrade... Young Master Ryō, you must not misunderstand ~."

Obito: "!!!"

Only treat me... as a comrade...
