Master, Please Become a Hokage

However, the problem lies in the position of "Elder."

As everyone knows, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo are three turd-stirrers.

The Sand Village isn't much better.

In the original work, the number of elders in the Sand Village is as high as 10 or more.

That's more than a dozen turd-stirrers!

It's a miracle that the Sand Village is doing well.

Otherwise, why would the Sand Village's upper echelons kill Pakura in the original story? It's only because after the Third Kazekage died, they were afraid that Pakura would seize the position of Kazekage.

It can only be said... birds of a feather flock together.

The Leaf Village's higher-ups are a bunch of self-seeking individuals.

The Sand Village also has many troubles.

The Third Kazekage was able to suppress them when he was in power.

But once he's gone, the hidden dangers will explode.

"..."

Ryo Sarutobi nodded slightly and got up to leave.

The Third Kazekage watched the four figures disappear beside the door.

Then, he looked at Pakura, stretched out his hand, and the metal door closed with "Magnet Release Chakra."

"Pakura, how credible do you think the Leaf's attitude is?"

As the Sand Village's hero and most capable subordinate,

The Third Kazekage never doubted Pakura's loyalty.

This point... is even above Rasa.

Although Rasa is his disciple, in fact... the Third Kazekage has the intention of supporting Pakura.

After all, the family forces connected by the elders are too deeply rooted.

If you want to change the Sand Village, you must completely erase this decadent system.

If the original plot unfolds, the Leaf's diplomatic personnel will only argue on principle and plan for the Leaf's interests.

Because Ryo Sarutobi has the mindset of a Chinese person, he thinks of a win-win situation.

The wings of a butterfly are beginning to change things...

Even affecting the Third Kazekage's thinking.

"Kazekage-sama..."

Pakura instinctively wanted to say that she shouldn't trust the Leaf.

However, after many days of observation and Ryo Sarutobi's words, she could see it.

Although the Hokage's son doesn't have much power now,

It is said that he is a disciple of the White Fang of the Leaf.

After all, many experts have died at his hands, but the White Fang of the Leaf is unscathed.

"In this way, this Ryo Sarutobi will definitely rise to the top in the future..."

He may even be the Fifth Hokage.

From this deduction, the Sand Village really needs to carefully consider cooperating with them.

"Pakura, what do you think is the biggest crisis facing our Sand Village right now?"

The Third Kazekage raised the question.

Food? Money? Water?

None of them...

"It is the elders' increasingly insatiable greed and the encroachment of their representative families on the Sand's interests..."

Pakura, who came from a commoner background, sees this very clearly.

Rasa is different.

He may see it clearly, but Rasa himself is a representative of the nobility.

He will collude with the elders and pretend to be ignorant.

If he truly wants the Sand to be well,

The next Kazekage... must not be Rasa.

"Well said..."

The Third Kazekage turned around and looked out the window.

Ryo Sarutobi and the others walked on the street, guided by the village's ninjas to rest.

"The Leaf has already begun to make changes, heading towards a new generation... Our Sand should also change..."

In the Third Kazekage's heart,

He has already begun to imagine the changes that the Leaf will usher in after Sakumo Hatake becomes the Fourth Hokage.

He can see that the real person in charge is the White Fang of the Leaf's disciple... Ryo Sarutobi, the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, this young man.

"He and his father are completely different kinds of people..."

The Third Kazekage, who has met Hiruzen Sarutobi many times, is so sure.

How can a golden carp be a thing in a pond?

One day, this young man named Ryo Sarutobi will soar into the sky.

So, how to find a turning point?

The Third Kazekage stood in his office and kept thinking.

This thinking lasted until night.

......

Creak...

The door opened.

In the deep corridor, the Third Kazekage glanced at the air.

Soon, he noticed some subtle changes in chakra.

"Who?!"

He shouted sternly, his stern face possessing a considerable and terrifying majesty.

As the head of the Sand Village and the strongest ninja, he is not afraid of anyone's challenge.

"Kazekage-sama..." Just then, the shadows gathered and turned into a human figure.

"Is it you?"

The Third Kazekage frowned slightly.

The guy who appeared here is named Ryuma Aburame, one of the members of the Leaf's diplomatic team during the day.

And his more famous identity is Danzo Shimura's right-hand man, the Darkness of Shinobi.

"Do you have something you want to say to me?" The Third Kazekage shouted.

"Indeed, I do."

Ryuma Aburame nodded.

The other party brought him a great sense of oppression, like facing a fierce lion.

At any time... he could die.

"Does Kazekage-sama know that your death is approaching?"

Ryuma Aburame's light statement caused the Third Kazekage to unleash his killing intent.

Swish...

A subtle sound rang out, and a dark creation surged towards Ryuma Aburame.

It's Iron Sand!

The Third Kazekage, famous for his Magnet Release bloodline limit, can control Iron Sand!

"The people who want to harm you are not us Leaf, but the ninjas in your village!"

When Ryuma Aburame said this, the Third Kazekage's offensive stopped.

In fact, he didn't originally intend to kill him, just scare him.

"Speak."

The Third Kazekage shouted.

Soon, Ryuma Aburame adjusted his sunglasses and began to tell some things...

Chapter 21. Kazekage-sama, Sasori is a pit!

"Absurd!"

When the Third Kazekage heard that Chiyo's grandson wanted to harm him, he immediately felt amused.

Chiyo is a three-dynasty elder and a loyal subject of the Sand Village.

Their family is full of loyal martyrs.

Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were killed by the White Fang of the Leaf.

How could a traitor appear in such a family?

"Kazekage-sama..."

Ryuma Aburame's face sank.

"This is... the sage's prediction from Mount Myōboku, one of the Three Great Sacred Grounds..."

Ryuma Aburame directly stated the source of the news.

The source is Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze, who went to Mount Myōboku and learned Sage Jutsu, also received a prediction from the Great Toad Sage.

He told this matter to Lord Danzo and was very sure that it was true.

The mission to the Sand Village was originally an ordinary diplomatic mission.

Now, it has become an event that can affect the entire ninja world.

The life and death of the Third Kazekage, known as the "Strongest Kazekage", will determine many things.

Not only within the Sand, but may even affect the entire ninja world!

So, after considering it, Lord Danzo decided to send himself here to persuade the Third Kazekage.

That's right, what's the harm in trying?

If it fails, and the Third Kazekage eventually dies, the Leaf will not lose out.

If it succeeds, and the Third Kazekage survives, a powerful Sand, as an enemy of the Leaf, can slow down Sakumo Hatake's steps to becoming the Fourth Hokage. This is something Danzo is happy to see.

"..."

Just like that, the Third Kazekage and Ryuma Aburame stared at each other for a long time.
