Master, Please Become a Hokage

“Wangshu...”

Kakashi Sakumo couldn't help but think of the Third Hokage's love for calligraphy.

He felt that this name, full of poetic charm, was very suitable.

“Also, Ryo-sama, your position is now even higher than mine...”

Kakashi Sakumo said with a smile.

Kakashi Sakumo is currently the squad leader of the Anbu directly under the Hokage.

But Sarutobi Ryo is the leader of Anbu Squad Six.

Clearly, Sarutobi Ryo's position has already surpassed Kakashi Sakumo, although Kakashi Sakumo's strength is even greater.

A higher position brings power, means, functions...authority.

This time, the "Jonin Squad" meeting will be attended by all the prominent figures in Konoha's upper echelons.

Including the heads of various clans, the leaders of various departments, and the best among the Jonin.

Sarutobi Ryo, as the leader of Anbu Squad Six, has long since broken away from the identity of an ordinary Jonin and is naturally qualified to participate.

And Sarutobi Ryo, taking advantage of this opportunity, is preparing to appeal for something at the meeting.

According to the system's prompts.

The reward for completing the previous main quest, probably...can make it a reality.

Chapter 28. Sarutobi Ryo: Koharu Utatane, what do you know?

Soon after, everyone arrived one after another.

“Ryo-sama.” A ninja with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle greeted Sarutobi Ryo.

“Shikaku.” Sarutobi Ryo nodded to him.

The ninja in front of him, who was only a few years older than himself, was the leader of the Nara clan...Nara Shikaku.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza, who were behind him, also greeted him one after another.

The three clan heads of Ino-Shika-Cho were all present, they were vassals of the Sarutobi clan and also well-known clans in Konoha.

Looking at the quest prompt...the current main quest objective is to experience the Third Shinobi World War and help Kakashi Sakumo become the Fourth Hokage.

And he himself must become the "Jonin Squad Leader."

In the original work, this position belonged to Nara Shikaku.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the previous squad leader was Tsunade. After Tsunade left, this position was temporarily vacant.

It hasn't been settled yet.

But seeing Nara Shikaku, Sarutobi Ryo knew...who to compete with.

Nara Shikaku's combat power is known for his clever mind and Yin Release Shadow Secret Technique.

His absolute combat power is not high, but his shrewd mind makes it easy to obtain achievements.

So...his strength should not be underestimated.

It's just that, as a vassal of the Sarutobi clan, isn't Nara Shikaku really siding with himself?

Looking at Minato Namikaze on the side, Sarutobi Ryo had some guesses in his mind.

Times are changing, and some things are also changing.

Maybe, Ino-Shika-Cho...will also change.

“Cough cough...”

The old father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, coughed and stopped everyone's conversation.

“Everyone, I believe many of you already know the news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance...”

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Many Jonin from civilian backgrounds showed surprise, revealing the scarcity of their information channels.

The heads of various clans and departments, however, looked as usual, apparently already knowing about this.

With the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, militant factions in various countries have raised their heads one after another. Even within the Land of Fire, it has become unstable.

“Recently, ninjas from various countries have repeatedly roamed the borders, starting to collect information...the attitudes of surrounding countries are also becoming more and more tough...”

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's description.

Everyone guessed that a new Shinobi World War was about to break out.

“Are we going to war again...”

Sarutobi Hiruzen: “If the Third Shinobi World War breaks out, it must be a continuation of the last war...we have discussed this in many meetings before, and I believe everyone is mentally prepared...”

Saying that.

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and other high-level officials showed smiles.

“Everyone, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds has arrived...”

“......”

Sarutobi Ryo sat under the stage, watching the crowd who were excited because of a word from the high-level officials, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The last war ended with the victory of the five major countries.

This made the five major countries feel inflated.

The five major ninja villages felt that they were capable and wanted to create a great future.

As a result, the Third Shinobi World War became a meat grinder and became the most tragic war.

The Third Shinobi World War had no winner, everyone lost!

It was a battle that fully proved that the meat-eaters are short-sighted, and everyone is a fool!

It confirms the saying: "How can we do a good job of the Will of Fire with this group of vermin?"

Then, Danzo said: “Currently, the position of "Jonin Squad Leader" is still vacant, everyone must work hard...”

Making meritorious deeds and climbing the ladder of power are equivalent to injecting a powerful stimulant into everyone.

And when the war really breaks out, everyone will know.

This time...it's not the kind of development they imagined at all.

“Also, the Konoha high-level officials want to support Minato Namikaze as Hokage, so they will inevitably assign a strategist. That supporting person is probably Nara Shikaku...just like when Naruto became Hokage in the original work, the advisor was Shikamaru.”

Sarutobi Ryo thought while listening to the upper echelons' narration.

After listening to a bunch of arrangements, Sarutobi Ryo stood up: “Hokage-sama, I propose to expand the organization of Anbu Squad Six...”

Anbu Squad Six is a legendary Anbu squad.

Many famous characters have served in this Anbu squad.

Including Kakashi, Yamato, Yugao Uzuki in later generations...and even Itachi Uchiha's temporary affiliation.

At this moment, he is already the leader of this squad.

At most, he can lead 8 people.

This organization, not too much, is really not enough to toss around.

To realize his plan, he needs a lot of manpower, and the quota of 8 people is far from enough.

“Regarding funding, I have my own industry, so I don't need the village to issue activity funds...”

Sarutobi Ryo spoke again, eliminating a consideration for the high-level officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded upon hearing this, feeling that the problem was not big, and immediately granted Sarutobi Ryo's request.

“Also.”

Sarutobi Ryo changed the subject.

“Hokage-sama, high-level officials.”

This time, Sarutobi Ryo turned his gaze to Koharu Utatane, Danzo, and them.

“I propose...to let the ninjas of the Hyuga clan join my Anbu Squad Six.”

Hyuga Hiashi: “!”

Hyuga Hizashi: “!”

The Hyuga brothers, sitting under the stage, had their eyes narrowed and their expressions changed.

The Hyuga clan has never joined Anbu before.

Including the Uchiha clan as well.

On the one hand, the Konoha high-level officials do not want to reuse the Hyuga.

On the other hand, the Konoha high-level officials hope to use this so-called "equal treatment for the dojutsu clan" to control the Uchiha and prevent the Uchiha from entering the center of Konoha.

“The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has the most excellent auxiliary observation ability...it can definitely be useful in Anbu's activities. I propose...to let Hyuga Ruri join Anbu Squad Six...”

Sarutobi Ryo's words sparked a discussion among everyone below.

Whispering voices kept ringing out.

Hyuga Hiashi immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Sarutobi Ryo with a surprised gaze, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

Everyone knows that Ruri is Ryo-sama's teammate.

Then, Ryo-sama's intention is...

It's nothing more than everyone thinking too much.

Because Sarutobi Ryo's proposal is too unconventional.

“Sarutobi Ryo, do you know what you are saying?” Koharu Utatane put on a straight face and was the first to object.

“I am the leader of Anbu Squad Six, of course I know this best.”

Sarutobi Ryo looked directly over, refuting without being humble or arrogant.

I serve in Anbu, I contribute to Anbu.

You haven't joined Anbu, what do you know?

Chapter 29. Sarutobi Ryo: Hizashi, I will give Ruri happiness!

Sarutobi Ryo's attitude was so strong.

This scene directly made everyone's breathing stagnate.

Soon, they associated Ryo-sama with the identity of the Hokage-sama's son.

The crowd under the stage looked at each other, quietly waiting for the development of the situation.

They were not clear whether this was a duet played by the high-level officials, or what.

“Hehe...Koharu, don't you think this proposal is very good?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly and came out to smooth things over.

He had been watching his eldest son's performance during this period of time.

As an old father, he was of course very happy with his eldest son's increasingly improved strength and insights.
