Master, Please Become a Hokage

"The Hyuga clan's 'Byakugan' is indeed very suitable for reconnaissance..."

It's even much farther than the Yamanaka clan's reconnaissance range.

"How about trying to arrange for Hyuga Ruri to join Anbu Squad Six first..."

Protecting the Byakugan is the Hyuga clan's mission. Everything else is irrelevant.

"Brother, I think it's a good idea." Suddenly, Hizashi Hyuga also joined the conversation.

"Lord Hokage, Ruri has been feeling depressed. Perhaps a change of environment could change her mind..."

The upper echelons were well aware of the Hyuga clan's main and branch family issues, and everyone understood what Hizashi Hyuga was implying.

And these words were also a veiled criticism.

Hiashi Hyuga's forehead veins bulged as he glared at his younger brother.

He never expected his brother to make things difficult at this time.

"Then let's do it this way."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Ruri's childhood sweetheart... If Hizashi thinks it's okay, then it definitely is.

So, Sarutobi Ryo used the main quest reward from the system prompt.

—Complete a request within the scope of the Anbu Squad Six captain's duties.

......

After the meeting.

Hizashi Hyuga found Sarutobi Ryo alone: "Young Master Ryo, please wait."

He walked over and glanced around.

His brother, Hiashi Hyuga, had a gloomy face and strode away angrily. After returning, he would definitely vent his anger on himself.

Hizashi Hyuga was prepared to endure his brother's anger.

However, if it was for Ruri...

"Young Master Ryo, I wonder what kind of missions Ruri will face after joining Anbu Squad Six."

Hizashi Hyuga began to test the waters.

He couldn't figure out the reason for Sarutobi Ryo's actions.

"......"

Sarutobi Ryo put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.

"Mr. Hizashi, I don't need to elaborate on the matters of your Hyuga clan. Everyone understands..."

Hizashi Hyuga: "......"

"I don't need to say empty platitudes either. Simply put... Ruri is my teammate, and I hope she can achieve true happiness..."

"True happiness?" Hizashi Hyuga blinked, thoughtful.

"That's right."

Sarutobi Ryo's eyes were bright as he gazed at Ruri's childhood sweetheart.

"Do you have the courage and ability to give Ruri happiness?"

Hizashi Hyuga: "I..."

"I don't need you to answer yes or no, because I will work hard to do what I want to do."

Sarutobi Ryo stated his intentions with strong words.

Transferring Ruri to his Anbu squad was only the first step.

Next, he would slowly change her state of mind and thoughts.

Even later, he would change the tragedy of the branch family and even change the entire Hyuga clan.

After all, the Hyuga clan is a part of Konoha and a clan in the ninja world.

Ruri is even his comrade who has shared life and death.

The true meaning of the Will of Fire is to protect important people or things.

Ruri's life is in constant danger because of the Caged Bird Curse, so he certainly couldn't sit idly by.

"I... understand..."

After Hizashi Hyuga said these words, Sarutobi Ryo had already left.

Standing in place for a long time.

Hizashi Hyuga pondered various things before finally leaving.

"Ruri's... true happiness...?"

......

Not long after, Konoha began to mobilize.

The entire village was mobilized.

Many ninjas had already been sent to the border to guard against the outbreak of war.

As time passed, more and more ninjas were running on the streets.

The residents of Konoha keenly sensed the change in the village's atmosphere.

Some experienced old people couldn't help but think that a war was about to break out.

And the diplomatic rhetoric of Sunagakure.

Also changed constantly with the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.

They went from searching at the beginning to giving up, and then to denouncing Konoha and Iwagakure.

They said... that the people of Konoha and Iwagakure killed the Third Kazekage.

Under this increasingly intense public opinion, ambitious people and militarists raised their heads one after another.

Friction intensified.

War... was imminent!

......

One morning.

Sarutobi Ryo stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Soon, the Umino couple walked in with a petite figure.

"Young Master Ryo." After greeting him, the two stood guard at the door.

Sarutobi's old house had been completely transformed into a manor fortress from top to bottom.

The current members of Anbu Squad Six are...

Sarutobi Ryo himself, Yamanaka Kei, and the Umino couple.

Extra personnel include Guren, Ringo Ameyuri, and others.

"Ruri, you're here."

Sarutobi Ryo turned around and looked at the girl in front of him with a gentle expression.

Time flies.

The girl of the past has grown into a graceful young woman, but she is still petite.

Her chest is still flat, no... it still has a slight curve.

Her expressionless, delicate face and yellow hairband show her emotionless O-loli setting.

"From today onwards, you are a member of Anbu Squad Six."

Sarutobi Ryo announced.

Previously, Hizashi Hyuga and Hiashi Hyuga had already informed her of this matter.

"Do I need to change clothes and wear a mask?"

Hyuga Ruri slowly raised her head, her inorganic white eyes making her look like a doll.

Or the kind that will leave this world at any time and go to the realm of the gods.

"No need."

Sarutobi Ryo shook his head.

"It's up to you. Anything is fine."

It's Anbu, but it's blatant.

Not wearing the Anbu uniform or a mask.

In broad daylight, in a bright and clear world, showing their true faces... This is Anbu Squad Six led by Sarutobi Ryo.

And because of this unconventional behavior.

The name of Anbu Squad Six quickly resounded throughout most of the ninja world.

Everyone knows about this special team in Konoha and has different attitudes towards it.

After all, not wearing a mask or a uniform is too rebellious.

This also provided strong assistance for the rise of Sarutobi Ryo's name.

No one in the ninja world doesn't know Sarutobi Ryo.

"If you're ready, let's go."

Sarutobi Ryo stretched out his right hand towards Hyuga Ruri.

This is an invitation, and also... a symbol.

Clap.

Hyuga Ruri hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand, and placed her petite and slender palm on Sarutobi Ryo's palm.

At this moment, something was sprouting in her heart...

[Inject the Will of Fire into Hyuga Ruri]

[Current progress: 5%]

Chapter 30. Sarutobi Ryo: Za Warudo! The World!

In the great sandy sea of ​​the Land of Wind.

The ninjas of Anbu Squad Six were running through it.

A week had passed since leaving Konoha.

During this week, relying on Yamanaka Kei's perception and Hyuga Ruri's alternating observation with the Byakugan, Sarutobi Ryo successfully avoided one Suna squad after another.

As Anbu, it is naturally unlikely to go to the front lines.

Unless performing some special tasks, or used as a manpower supplement in the later stages of the war.
