Master, Please Become a Hokage

We're starving over here.

While they're decked out in gold and jewels.

The blackest humor, nothing surpasses this.

"So, what do you think, what are the chances of your Sand Village winning in this Shinobi World War?"

Sarutobi Ryo's lips curled up in a mocking smile.

With such a group of upper-echelon trash, how could the Sand Village be good?

"Even if what you say is true, that's an internal problem for our Sand Village, it's not your place as an outsider to interfere!"

Maki's little face flushed red.

Clearly unable to find a suitable rebuttal, she could only firmly state that she was a staunch inheritor of the Will of Sand.

Sarutobi Ryo wasn't surprised by Maki's reaction.

After all, in the original story, Pakura was screwed over by Rasa and the Sand Village's upper echelons.

Maki was the type who could say, 'Let Pakura give up her hatred, forgive, tomorrow will be better, everyone is working hard, teacher, you must believe in us...' but wouldn't mention reform.

This behavior is similar to someone else. Later, everyone saw it. That person didn't fulfill his promise to Konan and Nagato to bring peace to the Rain Village. On the contrary, the Rain Village eventually... became a ruin.

Hilarious.

And in the official novels, the Sand Village didn't change at all afterward either.

The elder council remained the elder council, Maki was still a small fry, and Pakura probably still died in the end.

Next.

Sarutobi Ryo didn't speak, but instead leisurely ate his dinner.

His astonishing appetite left Maki dumbfounded.

After the plates were stacked high, Sarutobi Ryo elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk cloth.

After that, he took Maki in the elevator directly to the top floor... to a suite.

The highest-standard suite, extremely luxurious.

The amount of money it would cost for one night can be imagined.

Of course, Sarutobi Ryo wasn't deliberately squandering.

But rather... because this place was a no-man's land.

In terms of secrecy, it was the safest.

Even the Sand Village's ninjas wouldn't be able to find this place.

So... certain things could be carried out in secret.

Just as Maki was still looking around the room's layout, malice suddenly arose from behind her.

Hair standing on end, Maki subconsciously turned around and met Sarutobi Ryo's cold face.

"I said before... interrogation doesn't necessarily require directly prying open the brain, there are other methods."

The system prompt in his right eye's retina was exceptionally clear.

[Inject the Will of Fire into Maki]

[Reward: Magnet Release Possibility]

She was thrown by Sarutobi Ryo onto a certain piece of furniture in the bedroom.

Her body bounced violently a few times. Before Maki could react, some special tools prepared for guests in the hotel... ropes.

Bound Maki's hands and feet.

Maki: "!"

The next second, in Maki's terrified gaze, the Sarutobi clan's summoning weapon, Adamantine Staff... slowly rose...

Chapter 33: Injecting the Will of Fire into Maki

The girl before him was slightly smaller and more slender than Nohara Rin.

Her chestnut hair was also a lighter color than Nohara Rin's hair.

Because she was born in the Sand Village, her personality seemed particularly resilient.

How should I put it... she was a Sand Village version of Nohara Rin.

Nohara Rin was a disciple of Namikaze Minato. Maki was a disciple of Pakura, which also corresponded in some way.

"As a substitute... it's still possible..."

Maki didn't hear Sarutobi Ryo's murmur clearly.

Because... she was currently shocked by the Sarutobi clan's unique summoning weapon that Sarutobi Ryo had summoned.

As a ninja, she still understood some basic common sense.

After seeing it with her own eyes, she could immediately judge what was about to happen.

Before she could open her mouth.

Sarutobi Ryo's gaze became even colder: "Interrogation... start!"

The next second.

Sarutobi Ryo attacked fiercely, instantly unleashing taijutsu.

Zzzt~!

The fierce attack directly caused Maki's small body to tremble.

"Ugh..." Maki stared fixedly at the ceiling, suffering unspeakable pain from the sudden attack.

Crimson blood flowed out, dripping down.

Sarutobi Ryo didn't use Steel Release Kekkei Genkai to enhance the power of his taijutsu.

The reason was simple. With Maki's quality, using Steel Release would probably kill her directly.

The so-called tailoring the punishment to fit the individual.

Different individuals, of course, have different sentences.

So, Sarutobi Ryo attacked again, using taijutsu.

Even without relying on Steel Release Kekkei Genkai, the quality brought by his own Sarutobi clan's bloodline was enough to make her hover on the edge of death.

The night deepened.

The Third Shinobi World War had just begun, with ninjas from various countries fighting.

And Sarutobi Ryo... was also working hard.

In the New Moon Oasis, a place of extravagance and dissipation, where the Sand Village's ninjas' hands and feet couldn't reach, Sarutobi Ryo was safely conducting his interrogation.

Bang! Bang!

Sarutobi Ryo constantly used taijutsu.

Maki's body trembled repeatedly from the beating.

After a while, she finally realized what had happened.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but let out a piercing scream that echoed through the dome: "Aahhhhhhh!"

The sound was deafening.

Her fear and sadness were so clear.

The cold-blooded interrogator continued to beat her, constantly striking the girl with his summoning weapon.

The so-called being hoist by one's own petard.

The Sand Village's elder council had built such a corrupt area, which also meant that it was impossible for the Sand Village's ninjas to supervise it.

Which is to say.

"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you..."

This is the truth.

Sarutobi Ryo said, staring at the girl in front of him who was shedding tears and screaming.

"Ugh~!"

The next second, Sarutobi Ryo increased the force of his interrogation, and the amplitude of his taijutsu became even more exaggerated, swift, and fierce.

The so-called not changing one's expression even when Mount Tai collapses in front of one's eyes is because most enemies have not seen a real mountain collapse.

Now, Maki would understand what real terror was.

It wasn't just being probed in the brain by a secret technique that was called fear.

Humanity's deepest malice and darkness were the true faces of fear.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The interrogation continued, Sarutobi Ryo constantly used various taijutsu moves, and the terrifying interrogation methods completely overwhelmed the Sand Village's girl...

......

......

......

I don't know how much time had passed.

The outside was covered in stars, and Sarutobi Ryo's interrogation had also reached the end of a stage.

In the constant torture, Maki, who had never seen these interrogation methods, coupled with Sarutobi Ryo's constant verbal attacks, finally completely broke down.

She trembled, stammered, and cried as she told some secrets.

But she refused to say the rest no matter what.

Sarutobi Ryo knew that this was probably the limit of the interrogation.

Unsurprisingly, he obtained information about "Magnet Release".

According to Maki, her teacher... Pakura's house had a scroll of books that contained information about Magnet Release.

Without thinking, he knew it was bestowed by the Kazekage.

Pakura had achieved great feats and made great contributions to the Sand Village.

The Kazekage's Magnet Release would always need someone to inherit it. That is, there would be open auditions for inheritors.

Although Pakura didn't have Magnet Release, she could at least draw some experience from the Magnet Release techniques to sublimate her own abilities.

Sarutobi Ryo filled in everything himself, and then used the final interrogation method.

"Ice Release..."

Freezing cold air was released along with the summoning weapon.

This style could be said to be Ninja Body Technique.

Sarutobi Ryo had a sudden whim and was now using it on Maki.

Chih Chih Chih~!!

"Ugh~!"

The terrifying cold air made Maki stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly rolled upwards. In just an instant, her thinking and some bodily functions were frozen.
