Master, Please Become a Hokage

Because it involved Madara's affairs, a sense of dissatisfaction arose towards Minato Namikaze for the first time.

And this was just the beginning.

"Princess Tsunade, how is Obito's condition? Is he in any danger?"

Sarutobi Ryō directly asked Tsunade, changing the subject.

As for how Minato Namikaze would face the Konoha higher-ups afterward, that was his problem to worry about.

Clearly knowing about Madara's affairs, yet not telling the Konoha higher-ups.

Because Obito had transplanted Wood Release cells, there was even a sense of using Obito.

Sarutobi Ryō was speechless about this.

With Obito's merits, age, and personality, even if Madara was involved, there wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Just like the old saying: He's just a child!!!

But Obito is a child, is Minato Namikaze also a child?

"Well, this requires further observation... Obito, you must have physical examinations on time from now on..."

Tsunade looked at the Uchiha teenager in front of her.

Because of Hashirama's cells, she suddenly found him pleasing to the eye.

The so-called 'love me, love my dog' is probably what this means.

"Okay, Lady Tsunade!"

Obito nodded immediately, surrounded by everyone, he didn't know about the political maneuvering going on in the dark.

At this time, he was too far away from the political arena.

However, having the power of Wood Release, he was officially beginning to be surrounded by various political storms.

In the future, there would inevitably be many people dealing with him.

With Obito's aptitude, even if he didn't use Wood Release as well as Yamato, he would definitely be a powerful expert with the Sharingan.

In the original story, Itachi watched Obito for a full ten years.

Ten years later, Itachi died, and Obito dared to continue his next plan.

And the Totsuka Blade and Izanami hidden by Itachi were unknown even to Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

In terms of hiding ultimate moves, Itachi can be said to be the number one in Naruto.

The examination of Obito's Wood Release cells caused things to take a sharp turn because it involved Madara.

When Sarutobi Ryō walked out of the examination room, the faces of Koharu Utatane and the other higher-ups were very unsightly.

Even Minato Namikaze was criticized along with them.

The so-called 'overdoing it' is like this.

"I never thought that this kid Obito would actually possess Grandpa's power..."

Tsunade leaned against the window and began chatting with Sarutobi Ryō.

They used to be quite familiar, but they stopped interacting after Nawaki's death.

Now that old friends were reunited, after a few consecutive contacts, they became familiar again.

"Having Wood Release cells doesn't necessarily mean having the power of the First Hokage..."

Sarutobi Ryō's response stunned Tsunade.

She then nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Having Wood Release cells doesn't mean that the Wood Release power can be compared to her grandfather's.

Just like countless people in the world know all five attributes, but there is only one Ninjutsu Professor, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Chakra attributes are just attributes; it depends on the person using them.

In fact, in the original story, Obito didn't use techniques such as Wood Golem Technique or Advent of a World of Flowering Trees in the end.

Because Obito's talent wasn't in Wood Release.

Kamui... this space-time talent was the path he should take.

As expected, Obito would inherit Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Combined with the Sharingan, he would surely become the second Yellow Flash.

If he awakened the Mangekyō, Obito's limit would definitely surpass Minato Namikaze.

Therefore, from a talent perspective, Obito was also a Konoha ninja worth paying attention to.

The only problem was that he was still young and too obsessed with romance.

When he gets older, when he becomes an adult, he will look at things much more rationally.

Therefore, if Rin Nohara is kept stable for a few years and no accidents happen, Obito shouldn't have any problems.

"I will talk to my clansmen about Madara's affairs..."

Tsunade said that she would talk to the old and young of the Senju clan about Madara Uchiha's affairs.

When everyone learns about Madara's appearance, the public opinion will naturally take a sharp turn.

The idea that originally began to waver because Obito obtained Wood Release power will be reaffirmed.

Before clarifying the matter of Madara Uchiha, they would not consider defecting to Minato Namikaze.

After all, the Senju clan as a whole inherited the will of Tobirama Senju.

A disturbance was easily resolved by Sarutobi Ryō.

Tsunade wasn't stupid and naturally saw the trickery in it.

"In that case, Sakumo-sensei is most likely to be the Fourth Hokage..."

Tsunade's lips curled up.

As a native of Konoha, Sakumo Hatake's family background was clean, his battle merits were obvious, and he was a good guy.

His strength was recognized by the Sannin, and he belonged to the top powerhouses in the ninja world.

If such a person cannot become Hokage, then who else is suitable?

"Heh heh, although I don't really want to admit it, but looking at it rationally... Sakumo-sensei is indeed the most suitable candidate..."

Orochimaru walked over and joined the conversation.

Unlike in the original story, he was not convinced by the young Minato Namikaze.

Sakumo Hatake had been famous for a long time and had always suppressed the three of them from the beginning.

Orochimaru was naturally inferior in skill and willingly conceded defeat.

Sarutobi Ryō raised an eyebrow. If Orochimaru was truly convinced, wouldn't the later defection not have happened?

Even if his methods were somewhat unclean, he wouldn't have gone to extremes like in the original story?

Chapter 102. Itachi Can Be My Adopted Son

Leaving Konoha Hospital, Sarutobi Ryō continued to devote himself to the practice of the Yin Seal.

When encountering difficulties, he would directly go to Tsunade to ask questions.

Over time, the two of them could be considered familiar during this period.

Seeing that the day of the Hokage election was getting closer and closer.

When Sarutobi Ryō successfully condensed the Yin Seal, Ruri was also approaching labor.

At this critical juncture.

Everything naturally had to be prepared properly.

Sarutobi Ryō placed Ruri inside the safest barrier, waiting for delivery.

He himself went to the Uchiha clan, preparing to probe the Uchiha clan's intentions again.

Last time, he visited Mikoto Uchiha's house.

It was time to get a reply.

When Sarutobi Ryō knocked on the door, the person who came to open the door was Mikoto.

Today, she was still wearing a black dress.

She was observing the mourning period of forty-nine days for her husband, which was nearing its end.

Counting the days, she would take off this black dress tomorrow.

"Young Master Ryō..."

Mikoto Uchiha wasn't surprised by Sarutobi Ryō's visit.

Soon, the two of them entered the living room together.

After offering incense to Fugaku Uchiha's portrait again, Sarutobi Ryō sat down.

Today, Itachi was nowhere to be seen.

He probably went to other clansmen to return gifts.

With Fugaku Uchiha gone, Itachi took on the responsibility of the head of the family.

"Madam Mikoto, I wonder what the specific reply is?"

Sarutobi Ryō thought.

The breakthrough was still on Mikoto Uchiha.

Although Yashiro could call on the crowd, Mikoto Uchiha was, after all, Fugaku Uchiha's wife.

Some things, in a short period of time, she could still influence.

If, because of a few words from Mikoto Uchiha, the Uchiha clan's Jonin decided to vote for other people, it would be uninteresting.

Sakumo Hatake would of course be elected Fourth Hokage.

And the more votes cast for him, the better.

"Young Master Ryō, I have carefully considered this matter..."

Mikoto Uchiha knelt on the tatami mat.

The black, conservative attire could not hide her beautiful figure.

Sarutobi Ryō slightly lowered his gaze, seeing the white socks at the end of Mikoto Uchiha's skirt.

The black and white combination had a thrilling temptation.

Although the beautiful woman in front of him was not wearing makeup and appeared without any embellishments, she could definitely be called outstanding in appearance.

"Obito's side..."

As soon as Mikoto Uchiha opened her mouth, her tone was tentative.

The fact that Obito had awakened Wood Release was spreading like wildfire.

The higher-ups had blocked information about Madara Uchiha.

However, through Danzo's management, it was directly made known throughout the village.

If there was an opportunity to persecute the Uchiha, Danzo would of course spare no effort.

Thus... Obito's experience of awakening Wood Release was covered with a layer of suspicious light...

The Jonin who originally planned to support Minato Namikaze were either watching, or some had defected to Sakumo Hatake.

The matter of Madara Uchiha seemed to have little to do with Minato Namikaze.

But after all, the matter of Obito awakening Wood Release was something he actively announced.

The meaning behind it was enough for everyone to speculate.
