Master, Please Become a Hokage

Finally... they crossed this land of death and arrived at the heart of the Land of Wind... "Sunagakure."

"We're here..."

Yakura stopped, gazing at the massive mountain range before them.

The narrow entrance in the middle was known as the "Sunagakure Ichizenten."

This was also the only exit for the entire Sunagakure.

The village inside was surrounded by mountains, nestled in a basin.

For Yakura, this was the road home, but for Sarutobi Ryo and the others, it was stepping into a foreign land.

They proceeded onward.

Thanks to Yakura, they faced no obstacles along the way.

The unfriendly gazes of Sunagakure ninjas were cast upon them from the road.

The thing called hatred, coupled with the opposition of ideologies, ultimately led to this result.

Upon reaching the depths of the village, a tall earthen castle tower stood in the center, with the huge character "Wind" written on it.

Presumably, this was the Kazekage Tower.

Entering inside, Sarutobi Ryo saw a man standing in front of the window in the office.

He had a head of bluish-purple spiky hair.

Draped in a white robe, he looked imposing.

"The people of Konoha, you've come from afar... thank you for your hard work."

The man turned around, revealing a lean and fair face.

The man with the slender eyes before them was the current leader of Sunagakure... the Third Kazekage!

Also known as the "Strongest Kazekage."

"Konoha~ White Fang~~~~!"

Before the Third Kazekage could say anything, shouts rang out in the corridor outside.

"Chiyo-sama~!"

After a series of shouts and thuds, a middle-aged woman appeared here.

She wore a heavy robe, and her eyes revealed resentment and sorrow.

"So it's you, you bastard...!!!"

Clearly, this was the high-ranking official who assisted the Kazekage... the strongest puppeteer, Chiyo.

"Prepare to die~~!"

Chiyo struck a pose, ready to attack.

At this moment, a gaunt man with long eyebrows darted out from behind her.

"Sister..."

Ebizo restrained his sister Chiyo from behind, and soon, Chiyo screamed and disappeared into the distance...

Everyone: "......"

"I'm sorry, everyone, for showing you something so unsightly."

The Third Kazekage smoothed things over.

This disturbance did not disrupt the meeting between the two parties.

Hatake Sakumo scratched his head, and tactfully avoided mentioning Chiyo's affairs.

After all, he had killed her son and daughter-in-law... which always made him feel somewhat weak.

"Everyone..."

The Third Kazekage first made some official remarks.

Then, he began to get down to business.

What should the future relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha be like?

"......"

Hatake Sakumo scratched his head, subconsciously looking at Sarutobi Ryo.

He wasn't good at politics. Killing people was fine, though.

Aburame Ryoma remained silent.

Namikaze Minato's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Konoha's White Fang turn his gaze to Sarutobi Ryo, the Third Kazekage had also recognized the identity of the Hokage's son the moment Sarutobi Ryo entered.

"You and your father looked very similar when you were young..."

The Third Kazekage smiled slightly, showing a willingness to support the younger generation.

He stared at Sarutobi Ryo, wanting to hear... what kind of statement this young man, who even made Konoha's White Fang take notice, would have.

"Kazekage-sama."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded and began to analyze the relationship between the two parties.

"The Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources. Although those in power are greedy and insatiable, the next great war will inevitably not attack the Land of Wind..."

Why?

Only an idiot wouldn't know that the Land of Wind was full of sand.

Invading would be a complete waste of effort.

Therefore, Konoha would most likely still focus its efforts on countries like the Land of Rain.

"Not bad."

The Third Kazekage certainly had the capacity to tolerate others.

He could frankly accept the fact that the Land of Wind was barren.

It could be seen from the decorations in the Kazekage's office that the previous Kazekages were all frugal people.

In later generations, Rasa even used Magnet Release... to mine gold sand to subsidize the village, poor · Kazekages · so poor.

"As for Sunagakure... the biggest contradiction at present is the inability to satisfy the growing population and the people's desire for a better life... in these two aspects."

In short.

Sunagakure lacked money and land.

But it didn't lack people.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Sunagakure did plunder the smaller countries.

But what about after they digested it?

War would still break out.

People will die if they don't have food. This is the simplest truth.

"According to Konoha's current situation and the thoughts of the rulers, it is likely that they will not agree to Sunagakure owning an extra piece of fertile land..."

This was not only Konoha's idea, but also the idea of other countries.

"Hmph!" Yakura snorted coldly.

She thought this young master had some brilliant insights, but when they got here, it was still the same old story.

The Third Kazekage waved his hand at her, signaling Yakura not to rush, because the person was clearly not finished speaking.

Sarutobi Ryo continued: "Although the Konoha executives will not agree to Sunagakure owning extra fertile land, there are still compromise solutions..."

"Oh?"

The Third Kazekage became interested. This was what he wanted to hear.

If it could be a win-win situation, then Sunagakure and Konoha could cooperate.

"To our north, both sides have a common enemy..." Sarutobi Ryo looked at the military map on the wall.

The image of the ninja world was clearly outlined on it.

To the north of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, Sunagakure and Konoha's common enemy naturally referred to Iwagakure.

"If Kazekage-sama's side... has sensitive intelligence, you will know... that Iwagakure currently has at least 15,000 ninjas or more..."

The Third Kazekage: "......"

Yakura, Rasa: "......"

Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, Aburame Ryoma: "......"

Unbeknownst to them, Iwagakure had completed its ultimate troop buildup.

They had a very terrifying combat population.

Their number of ninjas was far above that of Konoha and Sunagakure.

Obviously, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was preparing to sweep away all opponents in one fell swoop in the next war...

"So, isn't the situation clear?"

Sarutobi Ryo smiled slightly.

"Kazekage-sama, I think... Konoha and Sunagakure need to join forces."

Wouldn't it be great for everyone to eat Iwagakure's meat together at that time?

Chapter 20. History Changed Again

People... must look forward.

After changing the tragedies of Ringo Yuriyuri, Hatake Sakumo, and others.

Sarutobi Ryo's heart was even more expectant of the road ahead.

Now, Sarutobi Ryo was no longer confined to the original memories of the transmigrator in his mind.

Instead, he was starting to create a brand new future!

Then... on the Third Kazekage's side, he could also use new thinking to plan the future of both parties.

Even if Konoha's leadership team could not be changed at present.

Sunagakure's desire to obtain new land could not be realized.

But everything changes.

If Konoha and Sunagakure joined forces, they could counter Iwagakure.

In the future, the Third Shinobi World War would also have different results for both sides.

"Well, a good suggestion."

The Third Kazekage nodded slightly, without looking down on Sarutobi Ryo because he was young.

After all, the future of the ninja world belonged to the next generation.

"You have come from afar, you must be tired, why not rest first, the specific matters... I will discuss with the elders of my village..."

After confirming Konoha's attitude, the Third Kazekage issued an order to dismiss the guests.

He needed to discuss with the elders of Sunagakure before making a decision.

This was understandable...
