Master, Please Become a Hokage

Dawn was quietly rising.

Along the way, Sarutobi Ryo told Slug about the assassination of Hatake Sakumo.

But he didn't mention Senju Nawaki from back then at all.

Because this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. Telling Slug rashly would only make it fall into a state of "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."

"Is this true?"

Slug was somewhat hesitant, not quite believing Sarutobi Ryo's statement.

"......"

Sarutobi Ryo didn't respond, but continued on his way.

Slug fell into deep thought. How could it not guess the truth of this matter?

If someone in the upper echelons of Konoha could kill Nawaki and Kato Dan, then naturally they could also assassinate Hatake Sakumo.

"Hokage election, the battle for the Fourth Hokage... Human society is just like this..."

As a sage of the Shikkotsu Forest, one of the Three Great Sacred Places, Slug has lived for over 1000 years.

It has seen too many tragedies and witnessed human history.

It believed... that some people could do these things.

"I will witness it to the end." Finally, it wiggled a bit and clung tightly to Sarutobi Ryo.

"No problem."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded.

This massive chakra disturbance could be clearly sensed even from a great distance.

"This is... Tailed Beast power?"

Slug was the first to recognize the meaning of this light.

The color was scarlet, giving people an ominous feeling.

"It's Gyuki."

Subsequently, Slug accurately identified the source of this chakra.

"That's A's sworn brother... Killer B of the AB duo."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded, immediately quickening his pace, his whole body as swift as lightning, using Hatake Sakumo's taught "Signless Body Flicker Technique."

With the fusion and mastery of Ice Release, Sarutobi Ryo's chakra control had reached a higher level.

Directly evolving from the left-hand seal Body Flicker Technique to the final step of the "Signless Body Flicker Technique."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Extremely fast afterimages flashed past, the wind whistling in his ears.

Relying on the powerful dynamic vision brought by his right eye, Sarutobi Ryo could almost accurately avoid all obstacles on the road.

As for those smaller obstacles, he directly crashed through them with "Steel Release."

Accompanied by a series of booming sounds, Sarutobi Ryo finally leaped into the foot of a mountain.

Beneath the frost-covered mountains, at this moment, a fierce battle was unfolding.

The white fang blade light represented by Hatake Sakumo was constantly blooming. Fighting him was the young and vigorous A.

The future Raikage, surrounded by lightning, narrowly avoided Hatake Sakumo's slashes relying on his speed advantage.

Although on the surface he seemed to have the upper hand, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hatake Sakumo, who seemed passive, was the one with the advantage.

Sarutobi Ryo turned his gaze and looked to the other side.

A ninja lying on the ground, covered in scarlet chakra, was roaring.

Clearly, this ninja was Killer B in his "Half-Tailed Beast Transformation" state.

It could be seen that Killer B was still unable to fully control Gyuki's power.

After all, the title of "Perfect Jinchuriki" would only become a reality many years later.

People... all need time to grow.

Killer B was no exception.

And Might Dai, who was fighting Killer B, had flames surging all over his body.

His skin turned red, his veins bulging, and his eyes had turned white.

In fact, this was the appearance after opening the Eight Inner Gates.

And from the fact that all the surrounding frost had been blown away, and even cracks had appeared on the ground.

Might Dai had at least entered the state of "Eight Inner Gates · Sixth Gate · View Gate"!

Chapter 7. Repelling the Enemy!

"Roar! !"

Killer B, having completed his Half-Tailed Beast Transformation, suddenly pounced on Might Dai.

At this time, the number of tails behind him was four.

In terms of quality alone, he could even exchange blows with the Sannin!

If it were a normal Jonin, facing Killer B's pounce, they would probably be killed directly in one encounter.

"Drink!"

Might Dai reacted the instant the opponent pounced over.

"Morning Peacock! ! !"

Accompanied by countless afterimages of fists being swung, the intense friction of the air generated fireballs that looked like peacock tail feathers.

These fireballs, accompanied by the rumbling sound like thousands of shells being fired, crashed head-on into Killer B.

"Truly amazing..."

The knowledgeable Slug couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing the Eight Inner Gates Technique was a very rare occurrence.

This technique could greatly enhance a ninja's qualities, raising their strength to an incredible level.

"......"

Sarutobi Ryo stopped at this moment, his eyes fixed on Might Dai without blinking.

Only because he possessed excellent dynamic vision could he understand the reason for Slug's exclamation.

First of all, a standard must be explained.

In the Naruto world, the strength of ninjas gradually increases with the promotion of titles, which is a common principle.

Generally speaking, a Jonin's qualities... attack speed, movement speed, etc., are comprehensively superior to a Chunin.

In the Naruto official novels, the "supersonic" attack methods of Jonin have been mentioned many times.

A Jonin possesses two attributes.

Generally speaking, some Jonin can enchant kunai, giving the kunai Wind Release and Lightning Release characteristics.

When they are honed strong enough, they can launch "Wind Release · Supersonic Kunai" or "Lightning Release · Supersonic Kunai".

Of course, this is something that only a portion of Jonin with these two attributes and talents can do.

But this also provides a clear specification for the qualities of Jonin.

A true Jonin can, to a certain extent, use supersonic attacks or avoid enemy supersonic attacks.

If the Naruto world had real firearms, there would be the routine operation of [Jonin] ninjas being able to dodge bullets with the naked eye.

In the original work, Kakashi relied on his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to see the trajectory of lightning strikes and cut them off, thus evolving the A-rank Chidori into the S-rank Raikiri.

And at this moment.

The Eight Inner Gates used by Might Dai is pure taijutsu.

He created a terrifying flame-burning phenomenon just by swinging his fists in the air.

In physics, to do this means that Might Dai's punching speed must reach at least 5 times the speed of sound!

Only with such a terrifying punching speed can he unleash the taijutsu called "Morning Peacock"!

Each fireball is no less than the flame launched by a main battle tank in his previous life.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Countless fireballs instantly submerged Killer B.

Like hitting a sandbag, Killer B in his Half-Tailed Beast Transformation was actually knocked away!

Not only that, but the chakra covering his body also became much "thinner".

This was a phenomenon caused by the Tailed Beast chakra being consumed to the point where it could not be replenished!

After all, a punching speed of 5 times the speed of sound is too exaggerated and terrifying.

The loud noise here, like the roar of countless tank main guns, naturally made A and Hatake Sakumo temporarily stop fighting.

Both of them looked at Might Dai, whose body was surging with flames, with astonished expressions, and could not imagine that the other party's strength was so powerful.

The power caused by Might Dai's punches alone completely subverted A's imagination.

Having never seen the Eight Inner Gates, A was certainly not afraid in his heart.

Because he had enough courage and the魄力 to face difficulties head-on.

However, compared to the courage he possessed, he was more worried that his brother would encounter misfortune.

This thick-browed guy was a very powerful master.

There was also Konoha White Fang next to him.

A judged that the two brothers would not be a match for this Konoha duo.

Without the slightest hesitation, A, who valued his brother's life, directly ran over, grabbed his sworn brother, and ran away without looking back.

"Konoha guys, we Hidden Cloud will never let you go!"

Before leaving, A did not forget to make harsh remarks.

The shame of having secret information snatched away in person will be repaid a hundredfold one day!

The sound quickly faded away, enough to show A's amazing speed.

Even Hatake Sakumo could not catch up with him.

If there was no Flying Thunder God Technique, then A would be the undisputed fastest person in the ninja world.

"His speed is too fast."

Hatake Sakumo held a scroll in one hand and a short knife in the other, sighing in the direction where A disappeared.

"I have seen the Third Raikage's 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode', but it doesn't seem to have this kind of speed..."

"Even the same technique, placed in different people's hands, will derive different directions. The Third Raikage focused on offense and defense, while his son focused on strengthening his reflexes and speed..."

Sarutobi Ryo walked over and explained.

The Third Raikage could fight Gyuki to a draw, but A could not.
