Master, Please Become a Hokage

After a cold snort, the Third Kazekage strode away.

Yuu Nv Longma's lips curled slightly, he knew... the Third Kazekage was starting to believe it.

......

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

The group who came to the Kazekage's office again found a handsome red-haired teenager next to the Third Kazekage.

"Sasori of the Red Sand?"

Although he is a teenager, he is also a shota.

Sarutobi Ryo sized up the other party's delicate face, a slight smile with a hint of ruthlessness.

— Just like he could take out a knife and stab you twice at any time.

Of course, Sasori did not have the title of Sasori of the Red Sand at this time.

The source of the title is that after Sasori defected, he killed his former companions who were chasing him, causing blood to dye the yellow sand red, hence the name "Sasori of the Red Sand".

But look at the way he is closely following the Third Kazekage.

Probably... almost there.

Well, the Third Kazekage's death anniversary.

I only hope that the Third Kazekage can see that even if it is the "Third Generation of Sand", there is a will that is not of the Sand.

From the perspective of an opponent, Sarutobi Ryo believes that he has no need to remind the Third Kazekage.

But if you consider that the two sides really start to form an alliance, helping each other and benefiting each other, then... a strong Kazekage brings a stable cooperation, which is many times stronger than Rasa.

"Everyone, please have some tea." Sasori reached out, smiled, and motioned everyone to drink tea.

"......"

Hatake Sakumo blinked his eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed.

The son of the couple who were killed is standing in front of him, and he is even inviting him to drink tea.

The other party is still from a family that uses poison.

Ah this......

"It's not too late to drink tea later, please tell us the result, Lord Kazekage."

Sarutobi Ryo's words directly relieved Hatake Sakumo and also avoided the possibility of everyone being poisoned.

The Third Kazekage certainly wouldn't do this.

Sasori... this ruthless character is not necessarily.

When you are out, it is absolutely no problem to be careful.

"Well, yesterday I discussed with everyone, and the elders believe that we can start the precedent of cooperation with Konoha... but for true cooperation, Konoha needs to take the initiative to show something..."

The Third Kazekage stared at Sarutobi Ryo.

You started the matter, so you have to take responsibility for the problem.

"Since Konoha believes that Iwagakure is our common enemy, then show your sincerity..."

The Third Kazekage walked to the map and pointed to the border of the Land of Wind.

"Recently, Iwagakure teams have been rampaging in our country's borders... I hope that the Konoha ninjas can join hands with our Sunagakure ninjas to wipe them out... What do you think?"

The two parties of Sunagakure and Konoha act together to kill the Iwagakure squad. On the surface, it is just a cooperative mission at most.

But politically, it is to let Iwagakure know that Sunagakure and Konoha have joined forces.

Once Iwagakure feels that Konoha and Sunagakure have formed an alliance, they will inevitably adjust their subsequent strategies.

If the Third Ninja World War breaks out, their offensive will become much more cautious, and it is even possible that the situation will go in an unknown direction because of this.

And all this... is established because of the existence of the Third Kazekage.

If the Third Kazekage dies.

Rasa succeeds to the throne, and he, who is still young, cannot suppress those elders and families. Rasa will inevitably conduct interest exchanges and compromises. In that case... even if Sunagakure forms an alliance with Konoha, it cannot be called a strong alliance.

For Sunagakure Village.

The existence of the Third Kazekage as an individual is really of too much significance.

But if the Third Kazekage survives, Konoha will usher in a strong Sunagakure ally/enemy.

It is predictable that they will turn against each other one day.

We don't want to invade others, but we won't be bullied by others either.

We hope to win-win with Sunagakure, but we will also be wary of Sunagakure and not be afraid of Sunagakure.

This... is the real pattern.

If you are afraid of the other party's strength, you will directly destroy the other party. Then what is the difference between Senju Tobirama, Shimura Danzo, and others who are afraid of the Uchiha clan?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Ryo nodded: "Lord Kazekage, I accept this mission."

Sarutobi Ryo used "I" instead of "we".

Sarutobi Ryo knew that he could not represent Turn Sleeping Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

But he can represent himself.

"I, in the capacity of the son of the Hokage, and... the captain of the sixth squad of the Konoha Anbu, and the Konoha Jonin, am willing to try to reach a mutually beneficial alliance with Sunagakure."

"......"

Sarutobi Ryo's statement made the Third Kazekage concentrate for a moment.

Afterwards, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but admire the mind and courage of the young man in front of him.

If the situation continues to develop like this, Konoha will definitely become more prosperous.

The strengthening of Sunagakure, the prosperity of Konoha... a win-win situation, maybe it really is a good strategy.

But before that, some moths inside Sunagakure Village... it's time to clean them up!

"By the way, Lord Kazekage, my father has a 'secret letter' that I want to give to Lord Kazekage, please take a look."

Sarutobi Ryo took out the scroll that he had prepared long ago.

What is written inside is of course about a certain red-haired shota puppeteer.

Just pointing out his identity as the captain of the sixth squad of Anbu is not aimless.

On the surface, it is Anbu, but when the Third Kazekage hears it, he will think of Shimura Danzo, the darkness of the ninja, and his omnipresent Root.

The arrival of Yuu Nv Longma will deepen this impression.

Then... the people of Root, as spies, lurking in Sunagakure, getting some information... it's very reasonable, right.

For example, Sasori, the Third Generation of Sand, is actually a pit cargo.

Secret letter?

Minato Namikaze on the side was slightly stunned.

But he didn't expect that Lord Hokage would give the secret letter to Young Master Sarutobi.

According to the "original future" predicted by the Great Toad Sage, this did not happen...

"Lord Kazekage." Sasori on the side wanted to take a look for the Kazekage first to show his loyalty.

The Third Kazekage signaled that it was okay.

Then, he took the scroll carelessly and unfolded it generously.

I saw only a line of large characters in the scroll... "Lord Kazekage, please be careful of Sasori! ".

"......"

The Third Kazekage watched silently for a few seconds, then put away the scroll and crushed it into powder with sand iron.

Then the powder was thrown into the brazier that was about to burn out.

"I have received it... then, next, I will send my ninjas to accompany your village..."

Chapter 22. Sunagakure Konoha joins hands, the son of Tsuchikage

Will the Third Kazekage really be wary of Sasori?

Will history take off in a different direction from now on?

Sarutobi Ryo doesn't know.

But as long as you do what you should do, then you will have no regrets, right, Senior Nawaki...

A few days later.

The fully armed crowd gathered the team.

At the Itachi Line at the entrance of Sunagakure.

The Sunagakure team led by Yekura and the Konoha team gathered.

Yamanaka Kei, Hyuga Ruri, the Umino couple, and others are also in the Konoha ranks.

After obtaining the permission of the Third Kazekage, Sarutobi Ryo asked Yamanaka Kei and the others who were stationed at the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind to rush over.

Except for Hyuga Ruri, who is not from the Anbu.

It can be said that... Sarutobi Ryo normally exercised his authority as the captain of the sixth squad of Anbu.

Hatake Sakumo also gathered some Anbu members.

The group of dozens of people from Sunagakure and Konoha was mighty and imposing.

This scene couldn't help but remind Sarutobi Ryo of the scene during the Second Ninja World War.

"Departure!"

Yekura waved his arm, and the Sunagakure Village team immediately shouted.

Their eyes were fanatical, obviously full of confidence in Yekura.

Yekura, who climbed up from the bottom, has a completely no less appeal in Sunagakure Village than Minato Namikaze in Konoha in the original book.

Soon, the team set off mightily and headed for the northern border of the Land of Wind...

......

Two days later.

In an oasis in the northern part of the Land of Wind.

A team of Iwagakure ninjas are sitting in the house to rest.

During the day, the sun outside is as hot as an oven, which makes the Iwagakure ninjas reluctant to move.

In fact, their action plan these days is indeed to act after sunset and rest the team during the day.

Land of Wind... everywhere is desert.

But in these deserts, there are a large number of oases.

The people of the Land of Wind live in these oases.

The continuous harassment destroyed several oases, but not much was plundered.

This is irrelevant.

What is important is... to let the troops see blood and maintain their sensitivity to combat even in peacetime.

Taking this opportunity to draw out the Sunagakure ninjas to fight them and hone the team is the real purpose.
