Master, Please Become a Hokage

“Rin likes me.”

Sarutobi Ryo put down his teacup, looked at Obito, and said calmly.

This statement was equivalent to admitting his relationship with Nohara Rin.

While love is certainly free,

it is also divided into momentary passion and lasting affection.

Obito needed confirmation...

“She feels maintaining the current relationship is fine...”

Obito, have you ever heard the word P... friend?

Hearing Sarutobi Ryo's irresponsible remarks, Obito's cheeks twitched.

This made his already injured face look even more grotesque.

“You're just toying with Rin...” Obito suppressed his anger and spoke his mind.

The icy tone swept across the scene, seeming to freeze even the tea.

“What is Nohara Rin to you? And what do you think you are to her? She is my subordinate, a member of ANBU Squad Six, and also a girl who admires me very much...”

Sarutobi Ryo used examples to make Obito realize.

The interactions, bonds, and relationships between himself and Rin were in no way inferior to those between her and Obito.

“How I treat her is none of your concern! Besides... do you think she will like you if I break off my relationship with her?”

Sarutobi Ryo snorted coldly.

Nohara Rin was not only willing,

but now she was completely inseparable from him.

After all, compared to the Sarutobi clan's summoning weapons, other people's weapons were just trash... it was impossible for her to be satisfied...

Chapter 200. Misleading Obito

Sarutobi Ryo's words made Obito's momentum weaken slightly.

The young man did not know the difficulties of society.

Sarutobi Ryo completely overwhelmed Obito with his rich experience and knowledge.

Moreover, Nohara Rin had completely become his shape.

It was no longer possible for her to accept anyone else.

This was a crushing defeat in the ninja professional field, and also... as a man, an absolute conquest of masculinity.

Obito's cheeks twitched, his heart filled with grief and indignation, but he was helpless.

“You are a Konoha ninja. I have said before... you possess the Will of Fire. Among the entire Uchiha clan, the only one qualified to compete with you is Itachi... but now it seems... you have disappointed me too much, Uchiha Obito...”

With that, Sarutobi Ryo got up and left the teahouse.

Outside, people came and went, the noise deafening.

Obito sat blankly in his seat, his head buzzing, filled with Sarutobi Ryo's last words.

At the moment of his return, when he was least trusted.

It was Young Master Ryo who helped convince everyone, firmly believing that he possessed the Will of Fire.

Later, when Teacher Minato believed that he was talented and qualified to lead the Uchiha... it was also Young Master Ryo who stood up and said that Itachi's talent was no weaker than his. Facts proved that Itachi was indeed a genius. This showed that Young Master Ryo was impartial and absolutely fair. He never engaged in favoritism or corruption.

Compared to his peers, juniors...

Comparing Kakashi and the others.

It was easy to come to a conclusion.

If the Fifth Hokage... was based on Young Master Ryo or Teacher Minato.

The Sixth Generation.

Was likely to arise between himself and Itachi.

Because others did not possess absolute competitiveness.

In other words...

Young Master Ryo believed that either himself or Itachi could not only lead the Uchiha but also become the Sixth Hokage.

“Damn it...”

Obito, whose heart was in turmoil, couldn't help but clench his teacup, almost crushing it.

Will of Fire... the path of the Hokage... the dream of becoming Hokage.

The Uchiha clan, the first Hokage in history...

For the sake of the Uchiha, for the sake of everyone in Konoha, romantic feelings and the like...

......

Sarutobi Ryo walked down the street, thinking about the PUA he had used on Obito.

As long as he revealed the Will of Fire, even Obito would tremble.

Which was more important, the Hokage or women?

Without thinking, most Konoha ninjas would choose the position of Hokage.

After all, that was the education they had received since childhood, the dream they had been enlightened to.

As long as he constantly mentioned "You can become Hokage", "Obito, you have the qualifications of a Hokage"... these statements would constantly trigger Obito's ideological steel seal.

Anyway, the Sixth Hokage would indeed only arise between Obito and Itachi.

Although Shisui's aptitude was also very strong, in terms of insidiousness... he was actually not quite enough.

His personality was located between Obito and Itachi.

He possessed both purity and a hint of darkness.

Simply put...

He wasn't bad enough, nor was he good enough.

Wavering between the two meant that he wasn't pure enough.

This was also a good thing.

After all, the Uchiha clan needed a strong person who wasn't too obsessed to balance and influence the thoughts of the clansmen.

When necessary, he could see the path clearly, without bias.

Obito... was that very important support position, similar to the existence of NPCs such as prophets, guides, and elders.

Walking down the stairs into the underground.

Soon, Sarutobi Ryo arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.

Hatake Sakumo and his old father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, were already here.

They observed the white creature on the operating table, and couldn't help but marvel.

The White Zetsu that Obito had captured was placed in the laboratory.

“Heh heh, Young Master Ryo, you've come...”

Seeing Sarutobi Ryo come over, Orochimaru began to explain the results of his initial research.

White Zetsu...

A product of the Outer Path Gedo Statue hanging from the southeast branch.

It possessed DNA fragments similar to those of the First Hokage, which was... Wood Release cells.

These cells were not pure enough and were somewhat weak, but in terms of compatibility, they were very powerful.

In other words, it was a plant-based organism fused with Hashirama cells.

Watching Orochimaru talk eloquently, Sarutobi Ryo knew.

White Zetsu was still hiding something.

The information imprinted in the genes, Kaguya Otsutsuki's soldiers...

These secrets could not be detected even by the Yamanaka clan's mental secret techniques, or the Uchiha's Sharingan.

This was a true biological DNA ideological steel seal.

It belonged to Kaguya's secret.

Using conventional ninja methods would only obtain superficial information.

“Obito's half body is roughly the structure of this creature...”

Orochimaru made a metaphor.

Meaning that the Uchiha clan could all transplant these cells to gain enhancement.

They were very suitable adapters.

Then the question came.

Why did the Uchiha and Senju, who were deadly enemies, have such a wonderful connection in their DNA?

“Because... the Senju and Uchiha have the same origin.”

Sarutobi Ryo dropped a bombshell in a calm tone.

The same ancestor, different dreams.

Lightning flashed through Orochimaru's mind. As a researcher, he could touch and capture certain things better than the two Hokages.

“Of course, this is just a hypothesis.” Sarutobi Ryo shrugged, naturally not saying that he knew everything.

“Heh heh...”

Orochimaru paused and began to introduce other matters.

Transplanting for the Uchiha... would have to be put off after all.

At least Obito had to be constantly observed, using him as a blueprint.

Only after confirming that there were no dangers could other Uchiha be experimented on.

Otherwise, everyone would not agree.

Orochimaru thought...

“White Zetsu cells also have a characteristic... they can absorb other people's chakra, reaching the point of being able to deceive...”

Orochimaru greatly admired this strange characteristic.

This meant that White Zetsu could become a container for any chakra.

Even... collecting Tailed Beast chakra!

Based on what was happening now, the focus of the research was already very clear.

Konoha needed to have its own container for Tailed Beast chakra.

The Outer Path Gedo Statue was in the hands of the Rain Village... it was not convenient to take action for the time being, after all, they were allies.

Then, finding another way and creating another container was the top priority.

Looking at Orochimaru's eager expression.
