Master, Please Become a Hokage

That could work.

As Sarutobi Ryo's childhood friend, she is indeed qualified to be taken as a hostage, which could be one of the backup plans.

And another feasible method...

"Is for me to personally step forward and talk to him..."

Tobirama Senju crossed his arms, his brows furrowed.

Negotiation... is always a viable option.

He wants to figure out what this young man is thinking and what he wants to turn Konoha into.

"That's all we can do..."

Mito Uzumaki nodded.

She didn't expect Sarutobi Ryo to deal with the three elders so quickly.

It was as if the advantage was on their side just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, the tables were turned.

Watching the discussion between the two important figures, Minato Namikaze's heart slowly sank...

Because he didn't think negotiation would be a good start.

Rather, he was a little worried that Tobirama Senju would be swayed to the other side...

"Minato."

Seeing the worried look on her lover's face, Kushina couldn't help but hold his hand.

Feeling the warmth of Kushina's hand, Minato Namikaze showed a forced smile.

Things... have ultimately been messed up.

He's actually not very good at this kind of political struggle.

Every step is taken on a tightrope.

It was like that in his previous life, and it's the same in this life.

The reason why life was so peaceful before was because someone was carrying the weight for him.

Elder Koharu, Elder Homura... even Lord Danzo.

They took on a lot of things.

He only needed to be responsible for walking on the broad road to becoming Hokage.

Now that the three of them have lost power and there are fewer helpers... with fewer people to carry the weight for him, Minato Namikaze felt unusually difficult.

However, he also didn't understand.

Why Ryo-sama is so proficient in the ways of politics.

This is simply unreasonable.

Compared to the memories of his first life, he realized... everything has deviated too much.

Could it be that Sarutobi Ryo-sama is the ultimate culprit behind all the changes?

The Great Toad Sage's prophecy intertwined in his chest, making it difficult for Minato Namikaze to breathe...

......

That night.

Sarutobi Ryo received an invitation from Tsunade to visit her residence.

Sarutobi Ryo was naturally not afraid of Tsunade's little fists and went happily.

Sarutobi Ryo, who came alone, was greeted by Shizune.

In the living room.

Sarutobi Ryo sat down quietly, waiting silently.

Sarutobi Ryo ignored Tsunade's somewhat unnatural expression.

After all, anyone who knew about the return of a dead person would have such an expression.

"The Second Hokage... Tobirama Senju."

Sarutobi Ryo slowly took a sip of tea, his expression neither sad nor happy.

"Hmph..."

Tobirama Senju snorted lightly, sizing up Sarutobi Ryo.

Soon, he sat down.

The silent war has already begun.

He lost the first step of the confrontation.

The other party was not surprised by his existence, which confirmed his guess.

"Sarutobi Ryo, I've heard so much about you..."

As a dead man, Tobirama Senju naturally didn't need to drink tea.

"Not at all..."

Sarutobi Ryo was also not polite, accepting the half-mockery with a straight face.

"It's the Second Hokage's name that is thunderous... The matter of being killed by the Gold and Silver Brothers back then is even more well-known..."

Sarutobi Ryo's words also carried barbs.

This caused Tobirama Senju's brows to furrow quickly...

Chapter 159. The Senju Clan is Born Evil

Such disrespectful and barbed remarks, if placed in Tobirama Senju's lifetime, would have been directly acted upon.

He would have taught the young man in front of him a lesson, letting him understand the traditional rules of seniority.

But...

At this time, he has not obtained complete strength.

Facing an opponent he is not absolutely sure of defeating, his attitude naturally needs to be eased.

"I thought you understood the rules of seniority, it seems the monkey didn't teach you well."

Tobirama Senju frowned slightly, directly bringing up Sarutobi Ryo's father, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Respect depends on who it's given to... There is naturally no need to give respect to those who rely on their age, don't you think so, Second Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi Ryo unhesitatingly confronted him tit-for-tat.

His words were indirectly scolding, almost pointing at Tobirama Senju's nose and scolding him.

The two were full of gunpowder as soon as they met, which couldn't help but make Tsunade's forehead sweat.

Having been unrestrained since childhood, she was spoiled by everyone.

Moreover, at a young age, she learned to gamble with her grandfather, Hashirama Senju...

If you were to say who she was most afraid of throughout her entire childhood, it might be the white-haired man in front of her... oh no, her Second Grandfather, Tobirama Senju.

Sarutobi Ryo, this kid, actually doesn't even give Second Grandfather face, which really surprised Tsunade.

Thinking carefully, this kid's audacity isn't the first time.

Judging from his experience of using beastly means to take away her most important things, he really can do what he's doing now...

It's just that Second Grandfather isn't an easy character either, how will their confrontation go?

"You seem quite dissatisfied with the current Konoha."

Tobirama Senju gathered his expression and said indifferently.

Meaningless initial contact, the show of force failed, so naturally it entered the formal contact stage.

The reason for secretly contacting Sarutobi Ryo is nothing more than wanting to change what he wants to do and is doing, and return "light" to Konoha.

Things are not so easy to achieve, Tobirama Senju certainly understands.

Relying on the Impure World Reincarnation body, he is somewhat unscrupulous.

After all, this body is immortal.

In addition, with unlimited chakra and the support of Flying Thunder God, it is enough to cope with a thing or two.

That is to say... although in a hurry, there was no time to further improve the accuracy of the Impure World Reincarnation, but preparing to the current level is enough.

This is Tobirama Senju's confidence in coming.

"The times are progressing, and some things naturally need to be abandoned and take new steps forward."

Sarutobi Ryo bluntly stated that many of Tobirama Senju's past policies and ideas were wrong.

"Dregs?"

Tobirama Senju frowned wildly.

"What do you know..."

What do you, a young man, understand?

Do you know that the Uchiha clan is a naturally evil clan?!

Do you know...

"I don't know much..."

Sarutobi Ryo replied directly, "But I understand that the Uchiha clan is also a member of Konoha, that's enough."

Sarutobi Ryo pointed directly at the core of the contradiction.

On Tobirama Senju's side, the biggest contradiction is the Senju faction's persecution of the Uchiha.

It's just this little thing.

The rest are trivial matters.

As long as the Uchiha problem is solved, other problems cannot be considered problems.

"Once bitten, twice shy. You were defeated by Madara Uchiha back then, causing a serious psychological shadow..."

Sarutobi Ryo began to bring up the past... the essence of Tobirama Senju's targeting of the Uchiha.

"In essence, it's because you can't beat Madara Uchiha, you're unwilling to accept it, and you're afraid of a second guy as powerful as Madara Uchiha appearing... That's why you take various persecution measures against the Uchiha clan..."

Don't mention the Uchiha clan's theory of evil.

According to this statement.

The Aburame clan, which raises insects in their bodies, is even more of an evil clan, anti-human.

The Akimichi clan, which gets stronger the more they eat, can transform into Ultraman giants, and can easily flatten a city, is also an evil clan.

If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason.

Otherwise, more than 70% of the ninja clans in the Warring States period would not have disappeared from history.

It's just because the upper limits of clans such as the Aburame clan and the Akimichi clan are not high.

Far from touching the heels of Madara Uchiha.

Therefore...

Tobirama Senju is not afraid of these clans, but only has fear of the Uchiha clan.

In essence, it is fear of insufficient firepower.

Plus, he is a noob.

But he can't stand to see others doing well.

Although this is human nature, Tobirama Senju has greatly deepened his thinking and practical operations in this regard.

This is inevitably a bit narrow-minded.

Such a person is fine as an ordinary ninja.

Once in power and becoming Hokage, what kind of evil can be created is already very obvious, isn't it?
