Master, Please Become a Hokage

Sarutobi Ryo's lips curled up as he continued to feed her.

“Pakura… Eat up…”

Pakura: “Ugh… Blegh~!”

Chapter 43. Original Flavor Chicken, Pakura, Eat Up

[Progress: 5%]

[Progress: 6%]

......

Watching the progress bar steadily rise, Sarutobi Ryo felt quite satisfied.

A 20% progress was a result worth anticipating.

90% progress, however, was too far off. Even if he tormented Pakura to death, he probably wouldn't get that much progress in a short time.

He and she were enemies, so gaining her approval wasn't that simple.

Therefore, the system's prompt was very clear.

First, obtain "Swift Release," and wait for further developments, slowly, bit by bit, to gain Pakura's approval, and then finally obtain "Scorch Release."

Snap.

Sarutobi Ryo pinched Pakura's cheek, feeling its fair and smooth texture.

Pakura: “Ugh~!”

As the feeding speed increased, the progress also began to grow rapidly.

Just like that, time seemed to pass for a long time.

For Pakura, it might have felt like a lifetime.

“Mmm!”

Sarutobi Ryo fed her a drink.

A large amount of beverage was gulped down by Pakura.

Sarutobi Ryo leaned forward deeply, striving not to let Pakura waste a single drop.

Pakura, on the other hand, widened her eyes, struggling weakly, but obviously to no avail.

After a long while… a long while…

Sarutobi Ryo finished feeding: “Hospitality… complete.”

“Ugh… Huff… Huff…” Pakura gasped for breath, looking dazed.

Some of the drink still stained the corners of Pakura's mouth, adding a touch of unique charm under the candlelight.

The darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart flickered for a moment.

A violent voice in his heart made Sarutobi Ryo feel an impulse.

But quickly, Sarutobi Ryo suppressed his dark side.

“I’m very interested in your 'Swift Release'.”

Sarutobi Ryo said, looking at Pakura and the [19%] progress prompt from the system.

“Tonight, you can think about it carefully here, whether or not you want to tell me some tips on cultivating Swift Release… Of course, you can also refuse, but…”

Sarutobi Ryo sized up Pakura's body wantonly.

The invasive gaze made Pakura's hair stand on end.

“…You understand the consequences.”

After speaking, Sarutobi Ryo turned and left the underground.

The candlelight flickered, and Pakura's breathing gradually calmed down.

Huff.

The candlelight burned out, and everything returned to darkness.

A faint sob rang out from the dark environment, echoing continuously…

......

The next morning.

The clanging sound rang out again.

What followed was Sarutobi Ryo’s renewed hospitality towards the guest who had come from afar.

In the dark underground, it happened again.

And this time, the anger and hatred in Pakura's eyes had increased by several degrees.

“Ugh!”

Pakura glared fiercely at Sarutobi Ryo while eating.

Sarutobi Ryo looked down condescendingly at the Sunagakure beauty with a face full of hatred, feeling extremely comfortable.

Chi ~!

“Ugh~!” Pakura's eyes widened suddenly.

The gurgling sound of swallowing continued to ring out, and after a long while… the heavy breathing sounded again.

This was the reaction of eating a lot of food in one breath.

“How is the Fire Country… Sarutobi clan-style breakfast?”

Sarutobi Ryo stepped back and asked unhurriedly.

“Huff… Huff…” Pakura didn't speak, but her murderous gaze said it all.

“Have you thought about my proposal from last night, Pakura?”

Sarutobi Ryo asked.

“If you don’t agree, then I can only let the Sunagakure ninjas see the heroic figure they admire… A truly sad scene…”

Sarutobi Ryo's threat caused Pakura's expression to change several times.

At the same time, the progress prompt also increased visibly.

[Progress… 20% !]

[Task Reward: Swift Release]

Looking at the prompt that popped up in front of him, Sarutobi Ryo knew that Pakura had compromised.

“Very good.”

Sarutobi Ryo dragged a chair over and sat down, beginning a secret conversation with Pakura.

Time slowly passed in this way.

Sarutobi Ryo finally obtained the cultivation method for "Swift Release."

It is worth mentioning that Pakura had also only recently integrated Swift Release, so the usage of this Kekkei Genkai could not be considered perfect.

This also indicated that if Sarutobi Ryo mastered it and continued to practice it, he would likely embark on a completely different branch path from Pakura, which was very reasonable.

......

After obtaining the cultivation method he needed.

Sarutobi Ryo also planned to release Pakura as agreed.

“And my companion!”

Pakura said fiercely after being untied.

She would never forget this humiliation.

And the fact that the other party let her go was also the biggest mistake of his life!

Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.

Pakura decided that she would continue to practice hard and keep improving after returning. When her strength was strong enough, she would seek revenge on Sarutobi Ryo!

“I have already sent someone to send your Anbu companion back.”

Sarutobi Ryo sent Pakura to the bottom of a hillside outside the manor with his hands behind his back.

This place was densely covered with forests and shrubs, so it would not be discovered by others.

The person who sent the other party away was naturally Kurenai.

Sarutobi Ryo gave Kurenai a mission so that she could move freely and hone her skills.

As a genius who could fuse the Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai, giving Kurenai enough freedom and practical training was the right path.

“You better be telling the truth!”

Pakura continued to threaten fiercely.

If she found out it was fake after returning…

“……”

Sarutobi Ryo frowned, and the next moment, he stepped forward and grabbed Pakura's arm.

“What are you doing?!” Pakura was suddenly startled, feeling goosebumps all over her body.

The experiences of last night and this morning were nightmares she couldn't shake off.

“Doing…”

Sarutobi Ryo suddenly leaned close to Pakura's ear and said softly to her.

The next second, the world spun before Pakura's eyes, and she had already been dragged to her knees by Sarutobi Ryo with a thud.

Before she could react, Sarutobi Ryo began the farewell hospitality.

And this time.

With the use of the system function.

The "Will of Fire Imprint" also instantly appeared on Pakura's abdomen.

“Ugh… What did… you do… Cough cough cough…”

Pakura asked, lying on the ground, constantly coughing and gagging.

The burning sensation in her abdomen almost made her question her life.

How long had it been since she had learned Scorch Release and felt this kind of burning…

“It’s nothing, I just put a Cursed Seal on you as insurance…” Sarutobi Ryo said coldly, looking at the Sunagakure beauty lying on the ground.

Hearing the words "Cursed Seal."

Pakura's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Among the ninja world, the most vicious technique was the Cursed Seal.

Even Konoha, which had the most developed sealing techniques, did not have a good solution.

She lay on the ground with a pale face, and by the time she reacted, Sarutobi Ryo had already left.

“Damn it… Damn it…”

Pakura got up from the ground and quickly left the scene.
