Master, Please Become a Hokage

However, those he killed were mostly small fry.

Compared to Sarutobi Ryo, he needed to face some recognizable figures to prove himself.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then looked up at his teacher: "Jiraiya-sensei, I want to go and see the 'Cloud Village' front line..."

"The Cloud Village front line? No problem... as long as you, Minato, are willing."

Jiraiya nodded, clearly trusting his disciple.

Although Fugaku Uchiha was at the Cloud Village front, the pressure was still great.

After all, the A and B brothers, the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai ninjas, and various other Kekkei Genkai ninjas were not to be underestimated.

If Minato was confident he could achieve merit there, that would be excellent.

Soon, Minato Namikaze gathered his three disciples.

"Kakashi, you guys should return to the village first..."

This trip to Cloud Village would involve encountering the A and B brothers.

That was not a battle Kakashi and the others could participate in.

......

Two days later.

Sarutobi Ryo returned to Konoha.

At the same time, news of victory arrived from the front line.

Due to the death of Gari of the Explosion Release, Iwagakure adjusted its strategy and began to cautiously probe.

As a result, the spies they sent out again were killed by Sakumo Hatake.

Taking advantage of the enemy's "blindness" and failure to obtain their movements, Sakumo Hatake boldly led a unit into enemy territory.

A chaotic slaughter broke the Iwagakure front line, forcing them to retreat dozens of kilometers.

The name of Konoha's White Fang once again resounded throughout the surrounding countries.

Sarutobi Ryo wanted to find Yakushi Nonou.

However, due to the outbreak of war, there were many more fleeing refugees and displaced orphans.

Nonou was exceptionally busy for a time.

Therefore, Sarutobi Ryo temporarily dismissed the idea of finding her, and instead turned his attention to another person... Nohara Rin.

After graduation, she followed Minato Namikaze on missions.

And after experiencing the battlefield, Nohara Rin had gained even more growth than Obito Uchiha.

When encountering enemies, she would at least not tremble with fear, but be able to act correctly.

The streets at dusk.

Nohara Rin, having finished washing up, cleaned off the grime of battle.

Having just returned from the battlefield, she received an invitation from Sarutobi Ryo to meet at a tea house.

After not seeing each other for many days, Nohara Rin's temperament had undergone some changes.

"Rin, you've become more mature..." Sarutobi Ryo revealed a slight smile.

"Is that so."

Nohara Rin was happy in her heart.

Soon she realized the double meaning of the words.

"Mature... is Ryo-sama saying that I've become more womanly~?"

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin quickly dispelled the thought in her heart.

She told herself that she should think more about Kakashi.

However, when she gazed at Sarutobi Ryo's handsome face, she couldn't help but think of the industries he owned.

And also his previous achievement of single-handedly killing Gari.

Young, handsome, of noble birth, rich, and powerful...

So many advantages in one person, almost enough to satisfy all a girl's fantasies.

Nohara Rin's cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red, her mind in a mess.

"Rin, let's go inside and talk."

Sarutobi Ryo invited Nohara Rin into a private room in the tea house.

Sarutobi Ryo could see the girl's infatuation clearly.

After not seeing each other for a while, this emotion and the secretion of hormones were still there.

The so-called strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of this opportunity to increase her favorability...

Just as Sarutobi Ryo was thinking this, a new prompt popped up in front of him.

[Will of Fire System]

[New · Will of Fire Weapon: Nohara Rin]

[Side Quest Objective: Instill the Will of Fire in Nohara Rin!]

[Side Quest Reward ①: Steel Release "Progress 20%"]

[Side Quest Reward ②: Explosion Release "Progress 90%"]

Sarutobi Ryo: "Eek..."

Chapter 48. PUA Nohara Rin, Favorability Increases Rapidly

After drinking tea.

Sarutobi Ryo got up to pay the bill and took Nohara Rin to his residence.

The continuously renovated old house, after the expansion some time ago, had been completely transformed into a new manor.

Nohara Rin stepped inside, looking at the vast but somewhat quiet manor, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Compared to the last time she came, it had completely changed.

Although the manor was large, most of the rooms were spare rooms.

Although empty, each room would have a related use in the future.

Soon, the two entered a secret room and went underground along the opened staircase.

Where the faint candlelight burned, Nohara Rin saw the remains placed on the platform.

"This is the remains of Gari of the Explosion Release."

Sarutobi Ryo said, pointing to the remains covered with cloth.

"Be careful, Rin, it looks quite scary..."

Because of the corrosion by the slug's strong acid, the surface of the remains... was not ordinary.

Nohara Rin nodded, and although she had been mentally prepared, she was still startled by the terrifying and ferocious face the moment she uncovered it.

This was different from a normal anatomy.

Because corpses that died accidentally or were injured would have very frightening faces.

"Ah~!"

Nohara Rin exclaimed and stepped back.

Then she bumped into Sarutobi Ryo's arms.

"Rin... are you alright?" Sarutobi Ryo immediately supported her and asked.

Suddenly entering a warm embrace couldn't help but remind Nohara Rin of the past when Ryo-sama sent her home and put a coat on her.

The physical contact made her face flush.

"N-No, I'm alright... Ryo-sama."

Nohara Rin lowered her head and shook her head.

The little deer in her heart was running wild, and she began to overthink even more.

"Rin ah, Rin, you like Kakashi..." Nohara Rin said to herself, repeatedly emphasizing this matter in her heart.

However, the trembling of her body and the blush on her cheeks betrayed her true thoughts.

During adolescence, hormone secretion is intense, and biological nature will take over.

As a medical ninja, Nohara Rin understood this principle, but she couldn't control herself.

Sarutobi Ryo slowly released her.

Nohara Rin also quickly began to examine Gari's remains.

"Rin, how have you been lately?"

Sarutobi Ryo stood aside and began to express his concern.

Nohara Rin immediately responded, talking about her experiences after becoming a ninja.

Back and forth, the two chatted happily.

"Then, I won't disturb you any further. If you need anything, just come and find me..."

After speaking, Sarutobi Ryo nodded and turned to leave the scene.

Before stepping onto the stairs, it was clearly displayed in his retina that Nohara Rin's progress had reached [20%].

Sarutobi Ryo: "She really is... a pure girl..."

......

Time flies.

Days passed by, and Nohara Rin came to help every day.

Her medical ninjutsu had become even more rapid after graduation. After all, she had officially joined the medical team and caught up with the Third Ninja World War, with many practical battles to improve.

After this period of accumulation, her medical ninjutsu skills were approaching Nonou's.

Sarutobi Ryo believed that as long as there was enough time, Nohara Rin could catch up to Tsunade.

At that time, she would be his most powerful medical assistant.

Therefore, the matter of instilling the Will of Fire in her also needed special attention.

One morning, Nohara Rin, who had been busy all night, had analyzed some information from the corpse.

"Ryo-sama, with my current level, I only obtained information about 'Steel Release'..."

Nohara Rin stood at the entrance, looking apologetic.

Sarutobi Ryo was not surprised by this, after all, the system had already prompted related content: "Rin, you're just starting out, don't worry..."

He patted her on the shoulder, Sarutobi Ryo was kind and gentle.

"It's already good to get information about Steel Release..."

Seeing that Ryo-sama was so understanding, Nohara Rin couldn't help but smile.

She nodded, indicating that she would continue to work hard, and one day, she would crack the mystery of 'Explosion Release'.

"I have already preserved the remains with sealing techniques, Rin... I will still need to trouble you to continue analyzing this body at that time."

Sarutobi Ryo indicated that Rin would still need to continue analyzing this body in the future.
