Master, Please Become a Hokage

Many ninjas set up seals in their minds.

Whether it's a genjutsu type or a jutsu similar to a small barrier, the purpose is to protect information from flowing out of the brain.

“It shouldn't be Pakura who did it.” Sarutobi Ryo shook his head, not thinking Pakura would do such a thing.

Before being betrayed, Pakura loved the people like her own children. As a hero of Sunagakure, she basically wouldn't do such unheroic things. At least someone would do it for her.

Considering Maki's "sealing jutsu talent", it's likely... she set up the brain barrier herself.

Whether it's the official manga or the official novel, they all show the troublesome nature of setting up barriers in the brain.

Even Yamanaka Inoichi would need to expend a great deal of energy and the assistance of many people to break the sealing jutsu that Pain casually left in the brain of a Rain Village extra ninja.

Yamanaka Kei is Yamanaka Inoichi's cousin, so there's no need to doubt her skills.

But without dedicated machine assistance or help from others, it's impossible to unlock the jutsu in Maki's brain in a short amount of time.

So what should we do? Everyone was in a difficult position.

“Interrogating for information isn't just about directly digging into the brain...”

Just then, Sarutobi Ryo pointed his finger, and the Ice Release chakra dissipated, and Maki's eyes regained clarity.

“!”

The first thing she did when she woke up was to counterattack, but she found three of her companions lying on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance.

This made her hesitate.

Sarutobi Ryo said, “If you want to protect the lives of these three companions, then obediently tell me the information.”

“......”

Maki widened her eyes, clearly filled with surprise, and as if saying... you're despicable!

Afterward, she showed an expression as if she was ready to die.

“The ninjas of Sunagakure... are not afraid of death!”

In order to protect her village, even sacrifice was acceptable.

“Young Master Ryo, the ninjas of Sunagakure have grown up in harsh environments since childhood, and their willpower is generally amazing...”

The Umino couple reminded him that harsh environments produce Suna ninjas.

These people... are not easy to deal with.

“Yeah.”

Sarutobi Ryo certainly knew this, or rather, he understood Suna more than most Konoha ninjas.

As a Fire-ologist, what is it that Sarutobi Ryo doesn't understand?

Jiraiya believed that a ninja is someone who can endure.

For example, in the original work.

When Hayate Gekko used a knife to slash Baki, Baki didn't even frown, which is an example.

“Ninja, those who restrain themselves. Even in injustice, they can endure. That is the way of the ninja.”

As Sarutobi Ryo said this, Maki's eyes slowly widened.

Because, this sentence... is the teaching of the Kazekage-sama.

How could a Konoha ninja know this...?

“I know you better than you think.”

Sarutobi Ryo reached out and directly grabbed Maki's collar.

“Now... I'll give you a choice. If you want your three companions to live, then obediently listen to my instructions...”

Sarutobi Ryo chose to change lanes.

He didn't continue to ask Maki to tell him the information about Sunagakure.

Instead, he planned to disguise himself as a Suna ninja and infiltrate Sunagakure Village with Maki.

In this way, he would go deep behind enemy lines.

“But that's too dangerous, Young Master Ryo.” The Umino couple couldn't help but exclaim.

Even they couldn't think of such a bold adventure.

“Sometimes, you have to take risks.”

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the others.

“Everyone, I'll leave this place to you for now.”

“Hmph!”

Maki's expression changed from astonishment to determination.

She snorted coldly, and her expression became firm.

Obviously, she agreed to Sarutobi Ryo's conditions.

But she decided that once she returned to the village, she would send an alarm to all her companions, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.

After all, if they could kill the son of the Hokage, it would definitely play a huge role in changing the situation of the war.

“Let's go.”

Using the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as a Suna ninja, Sarutobi Ryo disappeared into the vast night with Maki.

“......”

Yamanaka Kei turned her head and looked at the Byakugan girl, whose eyes were moving slightly, and couldn't help but ask gently.

“Ruri, are you worried about Young Master?”

“......”

The Byakugan girl was silent.

After a moment, she nodded.

In her life from childhood to adulthood, the two teammates... were the rare warmth she could feel.

So......

“Don't worry, Young Master now possesses three Bloodline Limits, he is a rare powerhouse...”

Yamanaka Kei comforted her.

Chapter 32. Maki, I want you to become a Fire Will weapon!

In the vast night, two travelers stood at the entrance of a crescent-shaped oasis.

Even though it was night, it was still brightly lit here.

This oasis gathers many wealthy people and tourists who are curious about the desert scenery.

The purpose is to experience those things that are prohibited in ordinary cities, gambling, or some crazy adult nightlife.

It can be said that this is a luxurious oasis of extravagance.

Strictly speaking, it is the ultimate enhanced version of Konoha's "Tanzaku Street".

And this place is neither the territory of the ninjas, nor is it completely under the control of the Daimyo.

The dignitaries of the Land of Wind and the nobles of Sunagakure jointly divided this oasis.

In simple terms, it is a no-man's land.

Many of the legal provisions of Sunagakure and the Land of Wind will lose their effect here.

The only thing that is useful is the power brought by money and power.

And this oasis also symbolizes the darkest places in the Land of Wind and Sunagakure Village.

One of the main scenes in the official novel "Gaara Hiden" is this crescent-shaped oasis.

This is the officially designated corrupt area of ​​this country.

“What are you doing here?” Maki glanced at Sarutobi Ryo, who was disguised as a companion, the girl's eyes filled with disgust.

At first, she thought that this young master would directly enter Sunagakure.

“Could it be that you haven't taken a bath for a long time?”

Maki mocked.

The Konoha ninja who ran to the Land of Wind must be confused.

“I know 'Water Release: Waterfall Technique'.” Sarutobi Ryo glanced at her and answered calmly, not annoyed.

Water Release: Waterfall Technique is a C-rank ninjutsu.

In the original Shippuden, when Yamato assisted Naruto in his training, that artificial waterfall was created using this technique.

As long as there is an underground water source, the jutsu will take effect, thereby breaking open the land and bringing out the water source.

So... as long as a ninja knows this ninjutsu, there is no need to worry about dying of thirst, and taking a bath is even less of a problem.

Hearing this, Maki immediately shut up. Because saying any more would be boring.

Soon, under Sarutobi Ryo's strong demands, Maki used the Transformation Technique and entered a high-end hotel with Sarutobi Ryo, who had changed his appearance again.

Maki, who had lived in the poor Sunagakure Village since she was a child, had never seen such a luxurious scene.

Whether it was the waiters in suits or the luxurious lobby of the hotel, they made her feel a little dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

“You, what exactly do you want?”

Following Sarutobi Ryo to a table, she sat down.

Sarutobi Ryo casually ordered some high-end food and drinks.

Then, in Maki's gaze, he began to slowly enjoy dinner.

“In your Sunagakure Village, the material environment is poor, and even the Kazekage... is very frugal in his food, clothing, and expenses.”

Sarutobi Ryo said casually, making Maki vaguely feel a trace of ominousness.

“Here, it is extravagant, and casually picking out a person, their life is more luxurious than the Kazekage, have you ever considered why?”

Konoha has Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and Danzo, three turd-stirrers. They represent the interests of the vast majority of families.

And there are more than a dozen such turd-stirrers in Sunagakure Village!

In the original work, Rasa even sacrificed Pakura in the end in order to compromise with the interests of the elders.

This point, the encounters of Rin Yugito and Sakumo Hatake can't be said to be completely similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same.

“Half of the assets here are opened by the elders of your Sunagakure Village, and it can also be said that they are the interests of many high-ranking families...”

“!”

Hearing Sarutobi Ryo's explanation, Maki opened her eyes in disbelief.

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but couldn't help but think of the Third Kazekage-sama's plan.

Expelling the elders...

So that's the reason.

“The grassroots ninjas of your Sunagakure fight and kill every day, and even eating is a problem. The elders and their families are extravagant and enjoy material desires more luxurious than the Kazekage...”
