Master, Please Become a Hokage

Seeing Lord Ryo's affirmation and trust in her, Rin immediately appeared very excited.

"By the way, Rin, you're about to take the Chunin Exams, right..."

Sarutobi Ryo mentioned Nohara Rin's upcoming assessment task.

She and Uchiha Obito will participate in the Chunin Exams together.

In the end, Nohara Rin will succeed, while Obito will fail. It won's be until Obito retakes the exam the next time that he passes.

"If you succeed at that time, how about considering joining the Anbu? Of course... it's just a formality."

Sarutobi Ryo waved his hand grandly.

He has the authority to make this request.

As his reputation and strength increase, the power he can exercise also increases.

At that time, he will have Nohara Rin join his Anbu Squad Six and become one of his people...

"Okay."

Nohara Rin agreed without the slightest hesitation.

A formality... of course, there's no problem with that.

Watching the back of the cheerful girl leaving, Sarutobi Ryo's expression slowly returned to calmness.

【Nohara Rin: Progress... 25%】

"Lord Ryo."

Yamanaka Megumi stepped out of the shadows. Seeing Nohara Rin leaving, she began to report the latest intelligence she had obtained.

The Yellow Flash is rising to fame.

He fought against the A-B Brothers on the battlefield against Kumogakure.

He fought 1 against 2, forcing them both to retreat.

"Everyone in the village is talking about this..."

Namikaze Minato became famous in one battle, and the entire Konoha is filled with his legend.

Seeing Yamanaka Megumi's tightly furrowed brows, Sarutobi Ryo unhurriedly unfolded the information obtained from Nohara Rin's analysis.

"Lord Ryo..."

Yamanaka Megumi was a little strange.

Namikaze Minato made a big splash, and his reputation has increased so much at once.

Why aren't you worried?

"It's nothing, let him be."

Sarutobi Ryo shook his head, not caring about Namikaze Minato's achievements at all.

The A-B Brothers... that is, Killer B and A, are now fighting Namikaze Minato for the first time.

Killer B is only 15 years old this year.

Namikaze Minato is already in his early 20s.

The official data book clearly stated.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Namikaze Minato fought Killer B many times, and neither could defeat the other. In the end, they recognized each other's strength.

That is to say.

No matter how good Namikaze Minato is, he can only go 50-50 with the 15-year-old Killer B, and he can't kill Killer B, nor can he kill A.

What's there to worry about.

In comparison, I am taking one step at a time.

"This scroll itself is also very valuable. Although it is impossible for me to learn Steel Release like Gari, this scroll can be kept for others to refer to..."

If he recruits useful subordinates in the future.

He can let his subordinates learn Steel Release and become useful meat shields.

"Lord Ryo..."

Just then, there was another burst of noise at the entrance outside.

Sarutobi Ryo looked over and found the Umino couple.

Behind them was a bloody figure on their backs.

Sarutobi Ryo recognized Guren's hair color at a glance: "Hmm?! What's going on?"

The two immediately carried Guren in, and soon, Nonou was also invited over to start treating Guren.

"The injuries are too severe..."

Nonou frowned.

Traces of hasty bandaging can be seen.

And the most important thing is that these wounds have been left untreated for several days.

She couldn't imagine how this child could have survived to get here.

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the seriously injured Guren, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Looking at the injuries, there are blast wounds and sharp weapon cut wounds.

Judging from the technique, it seems to be the work of a Sunagakure puppeteer.

But if that's the case, the weapon should be coated with poison, but there is no sign of conventional poisoning in Guren's wounds.

"The wound seems difficult to heal..."

After treating for a moment, Nonou began to frown.

"There is a strange chakra eroding her wound."

"Strange chakra?" Yamanaka Megumi leaned over, placed her hand on Guren's body, and began to sense.

Soon, she confirmed Nonou's statement.

For safety's sake, Yamanaka Megumi put her right hand on Guren's forehead again.

In her coma, Guren seemed to have seen some terrible sight.

Yamanaka Megumi immersed herself and carefully entered Guren's mind...

A moment later.

The blonde ponytail girl opened her eyes and said a location.

"'Loulan' ..."

Loulan?

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at Guren, the faint purple light at the wound, faintly visible.

Loulan is a city-state on the border of the Land of Wind, located in the gap between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind.

The country is not large, with only one city.

"It's the 'Dragon Vein Power' ..."

In Sarutobi Ryo's mind, a man named 'Anrokuzan' immediately appeared. He was also the BOSS in the movie who returned to the past from the future.

He can be considered a person from the future. In order to escape the ninja world's wanted, he was finally forced into the Loulan ruins by the Konoha team.

Anrokuzan activated the technique, swallowing the seal set by Namikaze Minato together, and then possessed the power of the Loulan underground... the power of the dragon vein.

"Dragon Vein... is that the country."

The knowledgeable Nonou immediately understood.

She immediately told Sarutobi Ryo the location of Loulan.

Sarutobi Ryo thought for a while, and without any hesitation, prepared to go to Loulan.

"Lord..."

Just then, Guren woke up.

She was panting rapidly, and the figure of Sarutobi Ryo was reflected in her eyes.

"Be, careful..."

After saying this, she immediately fainted again.

The unfinished business made Sarutobi Ryo suspicious.

Yamanaka Megumi shook her head, indicating that if she wanted to further explore the memory, it would take a long time.

Especially without hurting Guren's brain.

"Then wait a little longer."

Seeing that Guren still had something to say, Sarutobi Ryo prepared to wait a while before setting off.

......

That night.

Nonou continuously treated Guren, and Guren finally escaped danger.

Her condition has stabilized and she can speak normally.

As Guren recounted, Sarutobi Ryo gradually learned what had happened to Guren.

It turned out that since Yekura's attack, she had been traveling around the ninja world as Sarutobi Ryo said, honing her skills.

During this period, she also got on the line with Ringo Ameyuri and worked together as bounty hunters.

Originally, the experience was a very happy thing.

But later, she accidentally accepted a commission from Loulan in the underground black market.

She thought it was just an ordinary bounty mission, that is, helping to carry a large amount of supplies or something.

During the war, this kind of smuggling was very profitable.

Guren immediately thought that she could use her full-time job, professional counterpart, to complete this task and talk about business by the way.

So she took the initiative to go to Loulan, preparing to talk to the Loulan Queen there.

But unintentionally, she stumbled upon a conspiracy that occurred in Loulan.

All the residents of Loulan have been replaced by puppets.

The real queen is dead.

The queen's daughter... that is, the current queen, Sara, is still kept in the dark.

Everything pointed to the man named Anrokuzan.

"As soon as he saw me, he wanted to kill me..."

Guren frowned, deeply puzzled by this.

Lying on the bed, she looked at her lord, and Sarutobi Ryo also shook his head, not knowing why.

However, Sarutobi Ryo guessed a possibility.

Anrokuzan came from the future.
