Master, Please Become a Hokage

All trade and travel no longer require fear and trepidation.

As the representative for the negotiations and a key contributor to this trip, Sarutobi Ryo received commendations from the Konoha higher-ups.

Because his suggestion to incorporate the Uchiha into the Anbu... had previously led to animosity from the higher-ups... their attitude has now softened somewhat.

The newly promoted Uchiha prodigy ninja, Uchiha Shisui... became the one chosen by Sarutobi Ryo.

"Shisui... congratulations!"

Uchiha Shisui, in a daze, heard his friend congratulating him.

With a face full of disbelief, Uchiha Shisui had not yet realized the fact... such a great thing had fallen upon his head.

Having just graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago... and not yet having accomplished anything, how did I become an Anbu ninja?

Oh, of course, the Anbu must maintain secrecy.

The personnel list is not made public.

But there is an exception... and that is Sarutobi Ryo's Anbu Squad Six.

They are always in the public eye.

Over time, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Just as Sarutobi Ryo often says: A gentleman is broad and open; a petty person is always worried.

Must a ninja always be in the shadows? Not necessarily.

What Tobirama Senju agrees with, I will oppose.

Chapter 130: The First Uchiha to Join the Anbu

Sarutobi Ryo gazed at this teenager, a little younger than Kakashi, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

Uchiha Shisui, according to the official novel supplement.

His talent has always been overshadowed by this friend beside him.

Their relationship is somewhat like Kakashi and Obito.

And Uchiha Shisui also possesses darkness within, after all, as long as one is human, there are two sides: good and evil.

In the original story, Nohara Rin was harmed, and Obito turned to darkness.

As for Shisui... his heart disease is that his talent has always been inferior to his friend and classmate, also a genin, beside him.

Therefore, during a mission in the "post-war period," Uchiha Shisui gave up saving his friend, thus experiencing great regret and pain, and awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan as a genin, that's inevitable.

But Sarutobi Ryo does not intend to scheme for the Mangekyo Sharingan, deliberately watching everything happen, allowing the darkness in Uchiha Shisui's heart to grow.

Since he knows about this, he naturally cannot sit idly by.

Sarutobi Ryo chose to directly promote Uchiha Shisui, making him the first Uchiha to officially join the Anbu.

In order to make him famous.

Many people's depression and melancholy are actually because they are frustrated.

The little bit of darkness in Uchiha Shisui's heart will disappear if given a little color.

Listening to the congratulations from relatives and friends around him, Uchiha Shisui finally woke up as if from a dream.

The trace of haze in his eyes slowly faded away.

He took a deep breath, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

He replied to Sarutobi Ryo's appointment with a full of vigor.

Gradually obtaining what he wanted in his heart amidst the crowd...

Just becoming the first Uchiha ninja to officially join the Anbu is enough to be recorded in history, leaving a glorious mark in the history of the clan... and even Konoha.

In the future, whenever people talk about the first ninja from the Uchiha clan to join the Anbu, they will definitely mention Uchiha Shisui.

The Uchiha youth who gained historical fame swept away the haze in his heart, and that little bit of darkness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Because Uchiha Shisui is very clear.

He has completely surpassed his friend, so there is no need to continue to be jealous.

Surrounded by everyone, a joyous atmosphere...

Another group of people, watching this scene, their faces turned dark.

They never expected that Sarutobi Ryo would actually go a step further and really pull off such a stunt.

Just as Koharu was about to say something...

Sarutobi Ryo preemptively said lightly: "Back then... the previous Hokage appointed Uchiha Shisui's ancestor... Uchiha Kagami as the Hokage's guard... Now I am just imitating the previous Hokage, doing the right thing that should be done..."

"!"

Sarutobi Ryo's words directly blocked what Koharu was about to say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but recall the past, his eyes showing approval. Obviously, he missed his former comrade Uchiha Kagami.

And he was gratified... that his comrade's descendant, Uchiha Shisui, had also become a ninja who showed promise.

The Naruto world is a world of bloodlines.

Uchiha Kagami's grandson, Uchiha Shisui, is of course a righteous descendant with the Will of Fire.

Since Tobirama Senju could appoint Uchiha Kagami as the Hokage's guard.

Then I, Sarutobi Ryo, can naturally appoint Uchiha Kagami's grandson, Uchiha Shisui, as an Anbu ninja.

This is just the beginning.

When I become the Fifth Hokage and choose the Hokage's guards, Uchiha Shisui will be one of them.

Sarutobi Ryo had already thought it through.

Some excellent talents cannot be allowed to be outside, being randomly arranged and harmed by others.

Homura and Koharu looked at each other, seeing the depression in each other's eyes.

They never expected that the previous Hokage's plan would instead become an obstacle now.

Could they openly say... that the previous Hokage arranged Uchiha Kagami to use the Uchiha to deal with the Uchiha, so that Uchiha Kagami would eventually have to choose between the Uchiha and the village, and ultimately destroy the Uchiha clan?!

Unfortunately, the previous Hokage died before his mission was accomplished.

Uchiha Kagami also died young at the age of 26.

All plans became a bubble...

"If the Uchiha clan can really fully integrate into the village, be accepted by us, and become our own people... then what worries do you still have?"

Sarutobi Ryo looked at Danzo and the other two.

The only one who remained expressionless was Danzo.

He was old and composed, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

But Sarutobi Ryo knew that as long as his old father Sarutobi Hiruzen was alive for one day, Danzo would not be able to make waves.

There's no way, this is suppression.

Some people are just suppressed to death by someone.

Just like Hashirama and Madara, Naruto and Sasuke... the relationship between the old father Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo is also such an absolute suppression.

If Danzo wants to cause trouble, he can only wait until his old father Sarutobi Hiruzen passes away.

However, with my plan, I'm afraid Danzo won't see that day come early even when he dies.

"Uchiha Shisui, report to Anbu Squad Six tomorrow."

Leaving these words, Sarutobi Ryo left the scene.

Minato Namikaze, watching the changing history again, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Uchiha Shisui should have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, thereby awakening Kotoamatsukami.

But... that history, I'm afraid, will never happen again.

Even if it happens, it will be delayed or unfold in another way.

Deviated history...

But no matter what, Kushina has already become Mito-sama's adopted granddaughter.

Then, I shouldn't have to worry about my marriage with Kushina.

Minato Namikaze thought about the birth of Naruto.

Time is running out.

There's probably less than a month left...

I hope everything goes smoothly.

......

Small bridge, flowing water.

"Mito-sama, that's how things are..."

At the edge of Konoha, Homura, Koharu, and Danzo came together to complain.

As Sarutobi Ryo becomes more and more powerful.

It seems that no one can control him anymore.

A few days ago, he only had Uchiha Mikoto, that pregnant woman, nominally in the Anbu.

Today, he let Uchiha Shisui directly and officially join.

Who knows what he will do the day after tomorrow!

Hearing that an Uchiha had joined the Anbu, Uzumaki Mito also felt that it was outrageous.

Is Konoha really going to turn upside down?!

Back then, Hashirama and Tobirama, the two brothers, did not agree to the Uchiha joining the Anbu.

Instead, they only allowed them to manage the police force in that small area.

Now, as Uchiha Itachi becomes Sarutobi Ryo's adopted son.

Uchiha Mikoto is nominally in the Anbu.

Uchiha Shisui joins.

Things are starting to get out of hand.

In this situation, even the people of the Senju clan are speechless.

How should this matter be handled?

Chapter 131: Complaining to Uzumaki Mito

In the eyes of Uzumaki Mito and others, Sarutobi Ryo's actions, step by step, are undoubtedly dragging Konoha into the abyss.

The rise of the evil Uchiha clan will bring devastating results to Konoha.

After all, the previous Hokage said that the Uchiha clan is an evil clan.
