Master, Please Become a Hokage

Besides...

She and Minato had already discussed holding their wedding in two weeks.

Everything had already begun to be prepared, even the invitations were almost written...

At this moment, such a thing happened.

This caused a huge sense of loss for her, who was about to attain perfect happiness.

It was really hard to accept this...

"You, what do you want to do to release Minato?"

Kushina's attitude became even more subservient.

Her tone also became increasingly mournful and gentle.

It made people feel even deeper pity in their hearts.

However...

This wasn't some soap opera.

Sarutobi Ryo wasn't an ordinary person either.

As a ninja... he had enough experience to forge a heart of steel.

Moreover.

The darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart was so profound that it was hard to imagine.

Faced with this kind of small matter, he didn't waver in the slightest.

"Your attitude towards me has always been very ill-mannered..."

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly brought up Kushina's attitude.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been condescending and full of pride.

In dealing with people, she simply had no concept of equality.

Hearing Sarutobi Ryo suddenly reprimand her for her upbringing, Kushina naturally understood her shortcomings in dealing with people.

This point had been emphasized by Mito Uzumaki many times.

Kushina could only obediently do as she was told.

But only with Sarutobi Ryo could she not help but be provoked to anger.

"Yes, it's my fault... I was wrong..."

Kushina said quickly.

For her lover, she was going all out.

As long as she could save Minato, she didn't mind lowering herself.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked up, waiting for her further reply.

"Young Master Sarutobi Ryo~."

Kushina changed her address to Sarutobi Ryo in an almost tearful voice.

Sarutobi Ryo's eyebrows relaxed slightly, obviously very satisfied with this: "It can be seen that you really want to save Minato Namikaze..."

He paused for a moment.

Giving Kushina time to think.

"But..."

Sarutobi Ryo changed the subject.

"Do you know that the sins committed by Minato Namikaze cannot allow him to escape the sanctions of Konoha's laws..."

Konoha's laws were established during the time of Tobirama Senju.

Among them, there were many very strict laws.

Whether he was the Hokage or not, Tobirama Senju carried out double standards to the end.

As for Minato Namikaze, because he wasn't so dark and didn't have any power, he naturally couldn't learn the double standards exactly the same.

He committed a crime.

Once verified.

Then... what awaited him wouldn't be a good end.

Everyone knew this, and Kushina also knew this.

Currently.

Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki were probably racking their brains, thinking about how to save Minato Namikaze.

Sarutobi Ryo didn't expect them to come up with anything clever.

After all, Tobirama Senju's ability to cause trouble made Sarutobi Ryo somewhat afraid.

Therefore, killing him in advance was the best choice.

A swift blow cuts the Gordian knot.

First, deal with Kushina, then deal with Mito Uzumaki.

Turn Tobirama Senju into a lonely man.

At that time... wouldn't killing him be a matter of minutes?

What Sarutobi Ryo had to do was to cut off all the help around Tobirama Senju.

Kushina's visit was also completely within Sarutobi Ryo's expectations.

Tonight, what had to be resolved was Kushina...

Knowing Minato's subsequent fate, Kushina certainly couldn't sit idly by and let it happen.

"Wuu~."

Her eyes turned red, and her heart was filled with infinite sorrow.

Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw that Sarutobi Ryo had disappeared from the chair.

Before she could react, Sarutobi Ryo had quietly come behind her.

This made the goosebumps on her back rise involuntarily...

"Then, in order to save Minato Namikaze, what price are you willing to pay... Uzumaki... Kushina..."

Sarutobi Ryo said that he saw Kushina's sincerity.

What remained was the question of how Kushina would show her sincerity.

In order to save Minato Namikaze and make him make an exception, what was she willing to... pay?

With cold eyes, Sarutobi Ryo scrutinized the curves of Kushina's back, and his gaze gradually became scorching.

"..."

Kushina stood in place, her body trembling slightly, her mind searching and thinking, racking her brains to think about what she could exchange.

Hearing that there was hope to save Minato, she was certainly willing to do her best.

And the next second... she only heard a sigh from behind.

"What a... beauty..."

Sarutobi Ryo's murmur clearly entered Kushina's ears, causing her eyes to suddenly widen.

At this moment, relying on a woman's intuition, she... seemed to vaguely understand Sarutobi Ryo's conditions.

It's just...

Soon, Sarutobi Ryo slowly approached Kushina from behind.

Then, he raised his arms, stretched out his hands, and began to touch Kushina from behind.

Pa.

Touched by the scorching palm, Kushina's body trembled even more violently.

A pair of eyes also couldn't help but widen even more.

Her heart was filled with panic, disgust... and the idea of wanting to escape.

But in the end, she slowly suppressed these instinctive reactions.

As Sarutobi Ryo hugged Kushina from behind.

Kushina... couldn't help but shed crystal tears.

"Wuu~."

The dark night was long.

Time flowed.

It seemed like a second, and it seemed like a century...

Chapter 169. Kushina's Change, Minato is Released

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

The cool morning soon had pedestrians.

People came and went, and today seemed no different from yesterday.

However, the surging political situation at the top of Konoha was something that the ninjas of Konoha had not expected...

Early in the morning.

Minato Namikaze heard footsteps coming from outside.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the light.

The whole night yesterday was the most difficult night for him.

Because Minato Namikaze had never thought that he would be locked up in Konoha's prison.

This was something that was difficult for him to accept and imagine.

In addition, Teacher Jiraiya came over again last night and did a lot of psychological work.

This made Minato Namikaze determined... to stop in time.

The wrong things that have been done are naturally wrong.

It may not be too late to make amends in time.

Confessing the Second Hokage to protect himself may be the best way.

Of course, if the Second Hokage acts first, then...

Soon, Minato Namikaze clearly saw the person who came to visit.

It was Kushina.

She was followed by several Anbu personnel.

"Kushina..."

Minato Namikaze quickly got up and walked towards the iron railing.
