Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 435

Chapter 435


“Uncle Sak.u.mo, where are we going to find a new Hokage now that you’re out of the picture?!” Yamanaka Ryo’s bitter expression said.


“You, Jiraiya, Tsunade can’t do it! However, Kakashi can.” Hatake Sak.u.mo decisively sold his son for impropriety.


Yamanaka Ryo was silent.


It took a long time for him before he said, “Okay! Improper is improper. However, Uncle Sak.u.mo, you can’t step down now. As soon as you step down, Uncle Jiraiya and Auntie Tsunade are likely to run away on the spot.”


Hatake Sak.u.mo nodded. He knew the temper of the two. He was not stupid and would not announce his retirement at this time.


.


“Well, that’s how Hokage is decided. Now let’s talk about the Chunin exam.” Hatake Sak.u.mo continued.


“Well, I also want to know how many people in total have struck out at us in this Chunin exam.”


“I won’t say that the Small Ninja Village took advantage of the fire. So, let’s just say “protagonist.”


“Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, all attacked us.” Hatake Sak.u.mo said seriously.


Yamanaka Ryo froze, then his face was full of amazement as he asked, “Even Sunagakure did it?”


“To be exact, it is not Sunagakure. It is Rasa’s idea. Yes! The situation wasn’t good at the time. You can see it for yourself!” With that said, Hatake Sak.u.mo gave Yamanaka Ryo a scroll.


Yamanaka Ryo took the scroll and took a quick look, “Humph! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Rasa! It’s an unfamiliar Byakugan wolf.”


Hatake Sak.u.mo laughed and said, “Haha! It seems Ichibi Jinchūriki is really yours.”


Yamanaka Ryo’s redden, “I was only there to help Pakura be happy. If I knew Rasa was so stupid, I wouldn’t agree in the first place.”


Hatake Sak.u.mo wasn’t interested in understanding Yamanaka Ryo’s love history. He waved his hand and said, “Okay, this is not important! Next is Stone Ninja. Except for Onoki, all high-level battle strengths of Stone Ninja have been captured by us. I guess Iwagakure will soon send someone to come. “


Yamanaka Ryo coldly snorted, “Hmph! Onoki, that old man, probably thought that this explosion caused serious injury to our village. If the people from Iwagakure came, leave them to me!”


“What are you going to do?” Hatake Sak.u.mo asked.


“Of course, let them cut the land and pay for it! We can’t pay for the repairment of our village!”


Hatake Sak.u.mo nodded, “Also, we made a little out of ourselves. By the way, one more thing! Orochimaru said that during negotiations, we need to ask for Onoki’s blood. He said it was used to redeem Kurotsuchi.”


“Well, I understood!” Yamanaka Ryo, without the slightest hesitation, agreed.


“Then, Kirigakure. This time, Kirigakure used Genjutsu against Ichibi Jinchuriki and wanted to attack your Yamanaka Clan. The specific reason was your sister-in-law. I checked the information and found the Third Hokage’s dusty file.”


“It’s related to your clan; I haven’t opened it. I’ll show it to you directly!” Hatake Sak.u.mo winked at Anbu Ninja behind him.


The Anbu Ninja immediately gave the scroll to Yamanaka Ryo.


Yamanaka Ryo took the scroll, put it away, and asked, “Uncle Sak.u.mo, what will you do with the people at Kirigakure?”


Hatake Sak.u.mo pondered said, “Let Kirigakure use the money to redeem it! The village is short of money anyway.”


“Well, that’s good.”


“And one last thing. This Chunin exam makes it clear that you are building power for medical ninjas. This time, the medical ninjas are doing really well. What do you want to do next?”


Yamanaka Ryo laughed, “I’ll do nothing for the time being. Let the people in the village think we have forgotten the credit of these medical ninjas.”


Hatake Sak.u.mo froze, then suddenly realized. He laughed and said, “You’re truly worthy! You can come up with such a way!”


“Only heroes forgotten by the rulers will be remembered by the civilians. After the commoners have realized the great Yamato of the medical ninja, they will naturally be deeply grateful to the medical ninja. After that, let the next Hokage promote it. Isn’t it great? Is it the results for half the effort?


“Okay, it’s up to you.”


“Uncle Sak.u.mo, I have one thing, too. Give me the Sunagakure people!”


Hatake Sak.u.mo frowned, “Ryo, don’t you want to let Rasa go?”


Yamanaka Ryo sneered, “Haha! How is that possible! I’m going to ruin him. Kazekage’s position is no longer suitable for him.”


After a moment of hesitation, Hatake Sak.u.mo still chose to believe in Yamanaka Ryo, “The Sunagakure side will be entrusted to you. The Ninja and Jinchuriki of Sand Ninja are at the inns; Rasa is in Konoha prison, you should find them.”


“Well! Then I’ll go first!”


After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo teleported directly to Konoha prison. He took out Rasa and then teleported to the inn where the Sand Ninjas were.


…………


At this moment, everyone in Suna’s inn was anxious.


They had just heard that while Jiraiya was suppressing Shukaku, Rasa had attacked Jiraiya behind his back and almost killed him.


Who is Jiraiya? One of Konoha Sannin, and the Fourth Hokage’s teacher, who took over from Nine-tailed Jinchuuriki. He had a great relationship with Yamanaka.


Everyone in the Sunagakure that present here perfectly understood Yamanaka Ryo’s strength.


Rasa had attacked Konoha, and other Sand Ninja seemed to be dying. Even Baki, Rasa’s most trusted man, had a lot to say about his actions this time.


At this time, Baki was taking care of the unconscious Gaara with Temari and Kankuro.


Temari and Kankuro were aware of the situation outside. Temari asked directly, “Baki sensei, do you know why my father attacked Konoha?”


“Presumably to take the opportunity to weaken Konoha!”


Temari sighed, “Huh! Weaken Konoha? It seems that father really doesn’t understand!”


Baki asked, “Temari, what do you mean?”


“Baki sensei, to be honest! We should all thank Konoha. With Konoha as an ally, Sunagakure will be more stable.”


“Few other villages have invaded our village in recent years. Do you think they are jealous of us? What they fear is our ally Konoha!”


“Now, my father’s actions have completely offended Konoha. Let’s hope everything still has a chance! Otherwise, the village may be in chaos.”


After Baki hearing this, he was silent. He had to admit that Temari was right. Over the years, the development of Sunagakure has relied on Konoha’s reduction and received a lot of help from Konoha. Even the perfect Jinchuriki of Sand Ninja came from Konoha’s help.


“The only thing I hope now is that Konoha can find out the truth. Ichibi berserk has nothing to do with us, Sand Ninja. The sneak attack on Jiraiya… it has nothing to do with Sand Ninja!” Temari said, clenching her teeth.


The long silent Kankuro suddenly said, “That’s impossible, Temari.”


“Your father is Kazekage, and his every move represents Sunagakure.”
