Master, Please Become a Hokage

Ringo Ameyuri: "Then let's slowly chase after them from behind, ha......"

The Unno Couple: "......"

Chapter 2. Saving Nono! Nono Yu

"Young Master Ryo is so fast!"

Might Guy was chasing closely behind, but the distance between him and Sarutobi Ryo was visibly increasing.

He had been training in the Eight Gates for over a decade, focusing on taijutsu since childhood.

Might Guy believed he had gained some understanding in the realm of taijutsu.

He could tell at a glance that Sarutobi Ryo's taijutsu skills were exceptionally outstanding.

And the Hyuga girl beside him, who appeared petite and as if a gust of wind could blow her away, was moving at a speed that was in no way inferior to most Jonin.

"This is... youth......"

Might Guy smiled, expressing his heartfelt admiration for the vitality of the young people.

Brimming with energy, Might Guy tensed his body and quickened his pace.

And so, time flowed, the sun rose and set, and the stars shifted.

Starting from Konoha, they traveled to the border of the Land of Fire.

The northeastern edge of the country bordered the Land of Hot Water. Crossing the Land of Hot Water, the scene before them was covered in frost, looking like pure white snow.

The Land of Frost... named for its unique scenery and climate.

"We're here."

Sarutobi Ryo stopped walking.

A region that would normally take more than two days to reach, the group had completed in two-thirds of the time.

Taking a look at the surrounding scenery and confirming that this was the path Ringo Ameyuri had mentioned, Sarutobi Ryo prepared to wait for her to come.

"Ruri, observe a 10-kilometer radius every so often. Mr. Guy, please stand by."

"Oh, okay." Might Guy nodded and immediately walked over to Ruri.

Sensory ninjas need protection when they are seriously observing the situation.

Since he had nothing to do, protecting his teammates was his duty.

......

Whoosh......

The cold wind howled.

Vast white frost descended from the sky, as if a heavy snow was falling.

The sky was dark and hazy.

It was still the middle of the night, and the dawn was nowhere to be seen.

Footprints, some deep and some shallow, constantly appeared on the ground.

She looked serene, with fair skin and long golden hair.

Beneath her compassionate expression was an undeniable sexy figure!

As she moved quickly, her alluring figure became even more prominent.

The frost in front of her grew heavier and heavier, and the dark night was like a lost traveler, not knowing which way was east, west, north, or south.

"Chase!"

The shouts coming from behind made Nono Yu, who looked confused, regain some clarity in her eyes.

According to the instructions of Konoha's higher-ups.

She infiltrated the Hidden Cloud to go undercover.

Originally, with her ability, she would never have been exposed and could have completed the undercover mission safely.

However, the Konoha higher-ups arranged for her to be deliberately discovered after stealing the confidential information.

After the incident, the Hidden Cloud sent pursuers, chasing along the traces she left behind. As time passed, they were about to catch up.

Nono Yu, who had been fleeing all the way, was also about to join up with the rescue team.

Led by Hatake Sakumo, the Konoha ninjas would repel the pursuers and successfully retrieve the intelligence.

On the surface, this was a perfectly normal spy mission.

In reality.

The Konoha higher-ups had set a trap in this mission.

They required Nono Yu to hide the stolen confidential scroll halfway.

After all, Nono Yu was not a combat personnel, so there would naturally be a reason to say... that she was weak and afraid that the secret would be taken back by the enemy, so she placed the scroll in a secret location, waiting for her companions to retrieve it.

But this would inevitably force Hatake Sakumo to make a choice.

Whether to save Nono Yu's life.

Or to disregard her safety and directly retrieve the enemy's secret from where the scroll was hidden.

With Hatake Sakumo's strength, of course, few people could stop him.

But if they entangled him for a while and held him back, it would be enough for the enemy to find the secret scroll.

Because it was clear that the enemy had applied some kind of tracking method to the scroll. Over time, they would be able to find the scroll's location.

But that wasn't the key...

Nono Yu shook her head.

She had served Konoha since she was a child, joined the medical team after graduation, and became a medical ninja.

Later, she was discovered to have the talent to be a spy, and step by step, she eventually obtained the title of "Walking Shrine Maiden."

Originally, it was natural to serve the village.

But... a village not only has light, but also countless darkness.

Witnessing countless events and secrets made Nono Yu increasingly alarmed... and tired.

What shocked her the most, or rather, what made her feel disheartened, was the Konoha higher-ups' framing of "Konoha's White Fang."

As a powerhouse above the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo had made countless contributions to Konoha.

Even such a meritorious minister, the Konoha higher-ups wanted to ruin White Fang's reputation.

Hatake Sakumo was gentle in nature, possessed the true Will of Fire, and... had always persisted to the end.

If he, who was trusted and admired by everyone, fell into the abyss, Nono Yu couldn't imagine what his ending would be.

After experiencing this incident, Nono Yu completely lost heart for Konoha.

She even had the intention of retiring from her ninja duties and leaving Konoha.

After all, there was no reason to stay in such a Konoha, even if it was her hometown.

"There's... nothing to miss anymore......"

Just as the idea of retiring sprouted in Nono Yu's mind, with a bang, she bumped into something.

"Ugh!"

The impact didn't hurt too much, as if she had bumped into a piece of dough or a sponge.

Sitting on the ground, Nono Yu immediately adjusted her glasses and squinted her eyes to observe carefully.

Soon, she widened her eyes.

......

Dozens of meters behind.

"Captain, that guy fell down."

The Hidden Cloud team was moving quickly, constantly reporting information to the leader of the team.

The entire tracking squadron, starting from the Hidden Cloud, chased all the way, crossing the border of the Land of Lightning, and finally entering the Land of Frost.

The leading man was dark-skinned, had short, light-yellow hair, and looked lazy.

As a Jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village, he was also a strong man who had the character "Lightning" tattooed on his arm by the Third Raikage.

Known as "Black Lightning Sarui," he had the ability to release black lightning.

"After we catch this guy, let's have a good celebration, my treat." Sarui relaxed a little and said to his companions.

"Captain Sarui, I remember your wife gave birth before......"

The companions' emotions also relaxed slightly.

They talked about Sarui's affairs at the hospital before the mission.

"Yeah, it's a son, very healthy."

Sarui couldn't help but smile when he thought of his newborn son.

"I've already chosen a name, it's called 'Darui'!"

Chapter 3. Future Model Worker, a Certain Shadow

"Let's move!"

After finishing chatting, Sarui waved his hand.

Preparing to have his companions cripple the spy's mobility first.

The Hidden Cloud Village... the Raikage led the village with exceptional personal charisma.

This made the ninjas of this village extremely united, that is to say, they hated traitors and spies the most.

Only to see a hint of ruthlessness flash across the faces of several Hidden Cloud ninjas, and they directly threw out kunai.

Chi!

The sound of breaking wind resounded.

The kunai broke through the falling frost and flew towards Nono Yu.

Just as the kunai was about to pierce Nono Yu's hands and feet, the air suddenly vibrated, and accompanied by a loud noise, these kunai were shaken off.

Then, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Nono Yu.

"Miss Nono Yu, long time no see......"

"......"

Looking at Sarutobi Ryo, who suddenly appeared in front of her, Nono Yu, who was shocked to see the slug, was stunned again.

She originally thought that only Princess Tsunade could summon slugs.

But Sarutobi Ryo's appearance made her brain freeze for a moment.

Sarui and others saw the scene that happened here clearly.

He looked surprised and asked, "Who are you? State your name!"

When Sarutobi Ryo raised his head, the reflection of his forehead protector was also noticed by them.

"It's a Konoha ninja!"

"And behind him! Isn't that frost... it's a...... slug!!"

Because the slug's figure was too huge and it was night, they couldn't see clearly at first.

When they got closer, they realized that the white creature that blended with the frost was not a natural phenomenon at all, but a living thing!

"Slug?!"
