Master, Please Become a Hokage

At one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

All eleven shadow clones dispelled at once.

Sarutobi Ryo stood up from his cross-legged position, his right palm extended flat.

Aiming his palm at the empty space, with a 'buzz,' a beam of light emerged.

This beam of light was bluish-white.

The scorching light shone on the prepared paper.

The paper instantly burned, was pierced through, and then the light projected onto a thin wooden board.

Wisps of green smoke curled upwards.

The wooden board quickly turned charred black, burned, and then was pierced through, continuing to project onto the stone wall underground.

If you looked closely, you could see that this bluish-white laser was gathering more and more energy.

Or rather... it was becoming thinner and thinner.

This was the convergence of photons, also a manifestation of particle concentration.

In the end, this laser became as thin as a strand of hair.

Although thin, because of the high concentration of energy, it possessed powerful burning and penetrating power.

"It's a success..."

Looking at the light projected from his palm in the darkness, Sarutobi Ryo's lips curled up, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

The brightness of the unit cross-section of this laser in front of him was almost comparable to the sun.

Its essence was derived from the fusion of 'Water' + 'Lightning,' a Chakra technique.

Because the energy was highly concentrated, the temperature would also become extremely exaggerated.

Coupled with the characteristics of Storm Release itself, it could almost cut and melt most substances.

Of course, the specific time depended on the structure of the substance being cut.

For example, human fat might be burned and severed in an instant.

If it were a stone wall, it might only leave some burn marks.

And as the laser power increased, sooner or later, even substances such as stone and steel could be easily cut.

"But the amount of Chakra consumed also needs to increase exponentially..."

Recalling the original work.

The various manifestations of Storm Release.

Ordinary Storm Release and Uchiha Madara's Six Paths · Storm Release Sage Art had vastly different effects.

The Storm Release of the Six Paths Sage Art could even instantly cut through Truth-Seeking Balls.

It could be seen how powerful the upper limit of this Bloodline Limit was.

But no matter what.

Relying on a light-speed emission rate of 300,000 kilometers per second, coupled with the characteristic of cutting through anything, the threat of the Storm Release Bloodline Limit could be directly maxed out.

The rest was the power issue, whether it only burned the skin or cut people in half.

The specific emission power could be further tested to be classified and mastered.

Of course, the seemingly BUG-like Storm Release also had many flaws.

For example, the farther the laser transmission distance, the more severe the attenuation.

A few meters away, it had almost no killing power.

In this case, the stronger the enemy's strength, the stronger their physical quality, and the damage they received would be even more halved.

So...

"I can increase the power, or use it in close combat..."

Thinking carefully.

If a Storm Release laser was suddenly fired during close combat, how many people could dodge it?

"However, this move puts too much burden on the meridians..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at his palm.

The inside of his arm was aching faintly.

Without Byakugan or Sharingan, Sarutobi Ryo knew that this was due to the overload of 'meridians' within his body.

Medical ninjutsu could heal muscles and skin, and even bones.

But there was no way to repair the meridians.

Once the meridians through which Chakra flowed were permanently damaged, they could no longer conduct Chakra.

So...

"This move cannot be used frequently, it must be used as a trump card..."

Putting down his palm, Sarutobi Ryo prepared to rest for a while.

He would go outside directly to see how Nohara Rin was doing, seamlessly switching with a shadow clone was a very simple matter...

......

When Sarutobi Ryo went to find Nohara Rin.

Several travelers were welcomed at the entrance of Konoha.

The person at the head was about the same age as Nohara Rin.

But her expression was slightly firm.

Behind her were two subordinates, the three of them were full of Jianghu aura.

"This... is Konoha."

Guren looked at the crowds coming and going.

It was her first time in Konoha.

After a period of training and commanding the transportation company, her temperament had also changed somewhat.

She had become more capable, with the appearance of a strong woman.

Relying on her own skills, she easily ruled all the samurai, ronin, and ordinary people under her command.

This time she came to Konoha, in addition to seeing the world.

It was to deliver money to Sarutobi Ryo and discuss the subsequent development direction.

Guren was already preparing to open the transportation company to the Land of Waves on the other side, as Sarutobi Ryo had said.

"Let's go."

She waved her hand and quickly walked into the vast crowd...

......

The alley next to the restaurant.

The shadow clone and Sarutobi Ryo's main body faced each other.

As the shadow clone dispelled, various pieces of information were received by the main body.

"Hmm?"

When Sarutobi Ryo realized that a new Will of Fire weapon had appeared, his face could not help but become strange.

That Hyuga Natsu... was still young, about the same age as Nohara Rin.

What did the system mean by this?

Even if he wanted to inject the Will of Fire into her, he would need to wait a few more years...

No.

There was more than one way to inject the Will of Fire.

Thinking of Hyuga Ruri, and Nono Yu.

Winning hearts... could also obtain a certain amount of progress, even a large portion of progress.

Hyuga Ruri's tragic fate was one of the tragedies that Sarutobi Ryo was committed to changing.

Being teammates for so many years, everyone had feelings.

The true Will of Fire was to protect cherished people or things.

"If there is a chance, I will contact her a little... Perhaps, Hyuga Natsu is a very good breakthrough point..."

Thinking this way, Sarutobi Ryo turned and walked into the restaurant.

......

After lunch.

Sarutobi Ryo chose to actively send Nohara Rin home.

This scene could not help but remind Nohara Rin of that night.

However, this time it was daytime.

It had been a long time since she had seen Kakashi... His voice and appearance seemed to have become blurred...

Nohara Rin knew that this was due to the nature of human memory.

After being separated for a period of time, they would feel that each other had become unfamiliar.

After being together again for a period of time, they would return to the previous feeling.

Was that so...?

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin looked up at her side.

His firm and handsome profile, carrying a mature aura.

This was something that Kakashi could not compare to...

In fact.

Kakashi was no longer the Kakashi in the original work, or rather, Kakashi would embark on a completely different path in life.

Hatake Sakumo had not died.

Kakashi would not be severely hit.

He was still the proud and arrogant young man.

And at this moment in the original work, Kakashi had already begun to become cold and ruthless, focusing on tasks, regardless of teammates. Thus, the rumor spread... "Don't team up with Hatake Kakashi, he is inhuman."

Perhaps Nohara Rin would like a more mature and elite Kakashi.

But that Kakashi no longer existed.

Kakashi, who had not been beaten by an iron fist, would only carry a trace of immature naivety.

This... widened the gap between him and herself.

Sarutobi Ryo and Nohara Rin quickly arrived at the door of her house.

"Young Master Ryo, come in and have a cup of tea before you leave ~."
