Master, Please Become a Hokage

The Sarutobi clan has since branched out and inherited many bloodlines, very good... very good...

"Sarutobi Ryo!"

Koharu Utatane straightened her expression.

"The story begins in the Warring States Period..."

Then, Koharu Utatane began to recount their version of events.

In this theory, the Uchiha clan was extremely evil, each one as terrifying as a man-eating demon.

It took quite a while.

Koharu Utatane spoke with emotion and reason, revealing everything the higher-ups knew.

"So... Lord Mito also believed that I possessed darkness within, but I still became a ninja with the Will of Fire."

Sarutobi Ryo directly retorted, leaving Koharu Utatane speechless for a moment.

Chapter 108. The Entire Uchiha Clan Surrenders!

Back then.

Mito Uzumaki judged that Sarutobi Ryo had hidden darkness within.

It was hidden.

Different from Orochimaru and Danzo, which were too obvious.

However, this ultimately did not escape malicious perception.

This is also the reason why Mito Uzumaki chose Minato Namikaze as the guardian of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

Of course, initially, she chose her own grandson, Nawaki Senju.

However, although Mito Uzumaki judged it this way, Sarutobi Ryo has still become a ninja with the Will of Fire today.

"And speaking of darkness, Danzo-sama also has it in his heart... The previous Hokage also had it, because Danzo-sama inherited the previous generation's darkness..."

Sarutobi Ryo directly retorted.

In short, after saying a lot, Koharu Utatane understood.

"Are you saying... the previous Hokage was wrong?!"

Koharu Utatane widened her eyes, looking threatening.

Good heavens, she directly pinned a huge label on him.

Presumably, every time his old father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanted to protect the Uchiha, he would face such opposition and questioning.

So-and-so doesn't have the Will of Fire, goes against the previous generation... such a reputation cannot be borne.

However, what kind of person was Sarutobi Ryo?

Having been influenced by politics in his previous life, he was extremely familiar with it.

Therefore, he directly began to refute Koharu Utatane.

"Lady Koharu... the previous Hokage must be correct."

Sarutobi Ryo first affirmed Tobirama Senju.

Anyway, Tobirama Senju is dead.

There's no problem giving him a glorious and correct label.

Whether he's said to be good or bad, the old coot is long dead, there's no problem giving him some good reputation.

Hearing this, Koharu Utatane's expression softened.

But Sarutobi Ryo's next words made her feel as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a mosquito: "But I'm afraid some people... have misunderstood the meaning of the Second Hokage..."

Koharu Utatane: "!"

Faced with Sarutobi Ryo's set of Tai Chi physical techniques, Koharu Utatane almost couldn't catch her breath!

"You!"

Koharu Utatane was angry.

"The First Hokage is correct, but the people who understand him are wrong, just like people in the same class, the same team, practicing the path of the ninja together... but some people can become Hokage, and some can't... even if they learn the same things, they will eventually be completely different..."

Sarutobi Ryo directly made up a set of arguments, completely blocking Koharu Utatane.

Then, Sarutobi Ryo began to improvise freely.

He began to篡改千手扉间的想法和理念 (tamper with Tobirama Senju's thoughts and ideas).

"The deeper the love, the greater the hatred... it is precisely because the previous Hokage loved the Uchiha too much, holding the idea of hating iron for not becoming steel... because of Madara Uchiha's defection, he became ill from overthinking... that's why the Second Hokage strictly controlled the Uchiha clan, hoping they would not repeat the same mistakes, but become like the First Hokage... ninjas with the Will of Fire... What evil clan, it's just like parents being too strict with their children's teachings, even corporal punishment..."

Sarutobi Ryo raised his face, his eyes serious.

Hearing these words, Koharu Utatane began to breathe heavily.

"Good... good... good...!"

Finally, she said three "good" words.

Because she found that Sarutobi Ryo was impervious to reason!

It was impossible to change his mind today.

After saying that, Sarutobi Ryo looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Everyone, I have persuaded Elder Koharu..."

Koharu Utatane: "..."

......

A moment later, Koharu Utatane slammed the door and left.

"Goodbye."

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at her, then turned around and said to Itachi with a kind expression.

"Itachi... from today onwards, you are my adopted son..."

And I will announce this news to everyone in the village.

To let everyone know that even if Mr. Fugaku is gone, the Uchiha clan... will be well taken care of.

The son of a hero will not be allowed to shed tears.

"Please rest assured about your mother's side, I believe that Mrs. Mikoto already has the belief to continue living..."

The unknowing crowd did not know the real truth.

They only thought that everything was a happy ending.

"Itachi, call me Mom..."

Yamanaka Kei excitedly said to Itachi.

Suddenly having an extra son without having to give birth, how great.

Yamanaka Kei, who was happy to be a mom, wasn't unhappy at all.

After all, she thought that giving birth was a very scary thing.

Such a world... Ah, this world is getting better.

Then maybe she can consider it in the future.

Thus, a harmonious scene unfolded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gained a grandson, and Biwako Sarutobi also thought it was good.

Especially when Sarutobi Ryo once again affirmed Itachi's talent, believing that Itachi's talent surpassed the Sannin.

At least on par with Sakumo Hatake...

Biwako Sarutobi couldn't help but reveal surprise in her eyes.

"Everyone, let us slowly wait for Itachi's growth, until he grows up and becomes an excellent successor of the Will of Fire..."

After Sarutobi Ryo finished speaking, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.

......

Several days later.

The Hokage election officially began.

Having already learned that Sarutobi Ryo had adopted Itachi as his son, the crowd was still discussing the Uchiha's affairs these past few days.

Since... Fugaku Uchiha and the Third Raikage died together, and Obito survived and returned...

These events happened one after another, making the Uchiha clan the focus of public opinion.

For a time, everyone felt.

That Konoha was about to change.

The Uchiha clan had reached the bottom and things were starting to look up, were they about to turn over?

Young Master Sarutobi adopting Itachi as his son, the Yellow Flash taking Obito as his disciple...

All these things indicated that the upper echelons' direction was starting to shift.

Could it be because Obito possessed the power of the First Hokage?

Looking at the crowd discussing, Minato Namikaze's expression was complicated.

He understood that Young Master Ryo had taken advantage of the 木遁 (Wood Release) incident to achieve certain... possibilities.

The members of the Uchiha clan came forward one after another to congratulate Young Master Ryo.

Yashiro was beaming with joy, extremely happy.

After all, Fugaku Uchiha's death caused the Uchiha clan to lose a top expert.

The clan's status would probably be even more embarrassing.

However, when he heard that Itachi had become Young Master Ryo's adopted son, he drank a lot of wine that day.

Clearly, Yashiro and the others were extremely excited.

The Uchiha clan... this was undoubtedly an affirmation, and they had climbed a high branch.

"Everyone in the Uchiha clan... I, Sarutobi Ryo, intend to run for the next Hokage. And Itachi... his talent, I believe, can make him the Sixth Hokage."

Sarutobi Ryo directly announced this explosive news in the conference room.

Everyone present was a Jonin with a face and a name in Konoha.

And they were also the ninjas who came to participate in the Hokage election today.

Hearing Sarutobi Ryo say this, they immediately gasped.

Yashiro and the other Uchiha Jonin were completely stunned.

Immediately, they became even more excited.

Heavens...

Young Master Ryo said that Itachi has the talent to become Hokage?!

This explosive news made them feel that the Uchiha clan had completely turned over.

Because of Sarutobi Ryo's words, Yashiro and the others instantly became devoted to Sarutobi Ryo's faction.

They only felt that following Young Master Sarutobi would definitely lead to a bright future!

"In the future, I will still need the support of all of you Uchiha clan comrades..."

Sarutobi Ryo cupped his hands and saluted everyone.

"Of course, of course...!"
