Master, Please Become a Hokage

Their late-night arrival is undoubtedly to get information about Kirigakure from me. Saving me is probably for the same reason.

After all, the name "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist" is quite intimidating.

As one of the Seven Swordsmen, I know quite a bit of valuable information.

As for betraying my village...

In a hellhole like the Bloody Mist, would anyone truly pledge their undying loyalty?

Ah... there probably are.

There are too many blindly loyal fools in the Bloody Mist.

They're being played like puppets by that old codger, the Third Mizukage...

Ringo Ameyuri's mind raced, thinking about all sorts of things.

"What do you want to know? Where should I start...?"

However, Sarutobi Ryo didn't care what she said at all.

Because it was time to test a certain function of the [System].

In the darkness, Ringo Ameyuri only felt her scalp tingle.

The other party's aura was coming from above her.

Lying on the bed, she was unable to move, her body weakened from the treatment.

This was the time she should be resting properly.

Outside, it was pouring rain with thunder.

If Kurosuki Raiga had mastered the Thunder Sword Kiba, he could naturally try to summon lightning strikes in this weather to break the barrier faster.

But in fact, having just obtained the Thunder Sword, he couldn't fully unleash its power.

So...

"In three days, it won't just be you who gets stronger..."

That Kurosuki Raiga guy is definitely familiarizing himself with the use of the Thunder Sword as well.

At this point, Sarutobi Ryo finally responded: "You don't need to worry about that... I'll only ask you one thing, even if you kill Kurosuki Raiga, you won't return to the village, right?"

"..."

Ringo Ameyuri fell silent.

Her appearance was exceptionally clear in Sarutobi Ryo's right eye's vision.

Even darkness couldn't stop Sarutobi Ryo from seeing.

With the use of his right eye, its functions were being expanded more and more.

"The ones who want to kill you are the Kirigakure higher-ups. They believe Kurosuki Raiga is the next heir to the Thunder Sword, so... they set up a trap, sending 40 people over, ostensibly to help you complete the mission, but in reality... it's to ensure Kurosuki Raiga can successfully retrieve the Thunder Sword Kiba..."

Sarutobi Ryo's series of analysis made a trace of bitterness flash in Ringo Ameyuri's eyes.

She had worked hard for Kirigakure her whole life.

All the time was spent on training, performing tasks, scheming, and surviving...

Fighting alone, an unimaginable loneliness.

Really... I really want to have a love affair...

Until now, Ringo Ameyuri, who had never dated a boyfriend, if there was any major regret in her life, or rather, the only regret.

It was that she had never been in love.

Before Ringo Ameyuri could express her girlish sensibility.

Sarutobi Ryo had already reached out and placed his two palms on either side of Ringo Ameyuri's head.

Chī...

As Sarutobi Ryo pulled towards the head of the bed, which was also in his direction.

Ringo Ameyuri's head was pulled off the bed.

It looked like her body below the neck was lying on the bed, with her head suspended in the air, held by two palms.

"What is this guy... going to do?"

Ringo Ameyuri felt very uncomfortable being held by the head.

This was a subconscious reaction.

The ninjas in the Bloody Mist would keep their distance from others, like a... lone wolf.

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what Sarutobi Ryo was going to do next.

"I have a good suggestion..."

Sarutobi Ryo spoke again, his voice already carrying a certain bewitchment...

Just as Danzo had said, Sarutobi Ryo was an extremely pure person.

At the same time, Sarutobi Ryo had light in his heart, but also darkness that Danzo had not yet been able to accurately see.

Danzo only knew that the darkness in Sarutobi Ryo's heart was also very pure.

But specifically... it was something Danzo didn't know for the time being.

And at this moment.

Sarutobi Ryo, who was one with darkness, finally erupted with the darkness in his heart.

In fact, Sarutobi Ryo had never said that he was a good person, let alone a saint.

Even so, it didn't prevent Sarutobi Ryo from still having a good side that he wanted to stick to.

After all, people... are originally a mixture of good and evil.

Just like the Gemini Gold Saint of one body and two sides.

"What suggestion?" Ringo Ameyuri's face turned a few shades paler.

What could she do when her head was being held?

"I'll help you kill Kurosuki Raiga, and then... I hope you can become my partner..."

"Oh?" Sarutobi Ryo's suggestion made Ringo Ameyuri regain the playfulness she had when they first met.

At this moment... confidence, elegance, and a hint of wildness grew from her body.

This was... the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

"Sounds good, but what additional benefits are there to becoming your partner?"

"Money, help in solving problems, a place to hide..."

Sarutobi Ryo said a lot of benefits.

When Ringo Ameyuri heard that Sarutobi Ryo had unified the underworld of that small port town and taken control of that woman's industry.

Ringo Ameyuri's eyes began to light up, or rather... her expression became a little strange.

"You guy... are a bit interesting..."

"My wish is to become Hokage, as well as the strongest ninja, and ultimately change Konoha and the ninja world..."

Sarutobi Ryo spoke of his ambition.

"As for why I saved you..."

Sarutobi Ryo paused, giving the other party time to digest.

"Currently... we Konoha also have the same problem. My swordsmanship teacher... Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, is encountering a situation similar to yours..."

"..."

Ringo Ameyuri's eyes widened suddenly.

After the shock, she was filled with 'holy crap'.

Your Konoha is really dark, even wanting to screw over a strong person like the "Konoha White Fang"?

The name of Konoha White Fang was like thunder in the ears.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were nothing in front of him.

Ringo Ameyuri had no doubt that any one of the Seven Swordsmen, facing Konoha White Fang alone, would be instantly killed.

Because they were not on the same level at all.

Such a strong person, even the legendary Sannin were blurred existences in front of him, Konoha... actually wanted to give up?

"Time is running out..."

Sarutobi Ryo murmured.

Kakashi should have already graduated at this time and was being led by Minato Namikaze.

This indicated that the death date of Konoha White Fang was near.

With my arrival in this world, many things will not develop as they did in the original work.

It is likely that some things will happen earlier.

So, I must plan ahead, instead of rigidly sticking to the timeline of events.

I must become stronger.

Strength, power, money...

Then, control my own and others' lives, and change all kinds of tragedies.

Change... everything bad.

Finally, illuminate the entire planet with the light of the Will of Fire!

"Then..."

Sarutobi Ryo lowered his head and looked at the shocked genius girl.

"In order to make our cooperation more pleasant, I need... to add some small restraints..."

Steel Release!

In the darkness, the Sarutobi clan's summoning weapon, the powerful Vajra Staff... slowly rose.

Ringo Ameyuri had not yet foreseen the arrival of danger.

Then, the weapon was covered with a layer of Steel Release by Sarutobi Ryo.

Holding Ringo Ameyuri's head.

Sarutobi Ryo attacked fiercely.

Zī~!

"Ugh~!".

Chapter 39. Animal Path - Ongoing Serialization!

Boom!

In the forest, lightning roared.

The rain poured down.

On this stormy night, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nonou Yakushi, and Hyuga Ruri were sleeping soundly.

Outside the barrier.

Including Kurosuki Raiga, the 30 Kirigakure ninjas also entered a light sleep.

Some things were quietly happening, unknown to anyone.

Darkness... raged in the room where Ringo Ameyuri was.
