Young Master, Please Become Hokage

Her pigtails, like rabbit ears, were pulled, and her head shook violently.

She struggled painfully, but it was completely useless.

I'm... going to suffocate.

A long time... a long time...

The thunderstorm disappeared, and dawn arrived.

As the last trace of darkness was about to fade, the rampage reached its end.

Hiss...!

"Ugh~!"

The final downpour fell, and then... the thunderstorm completely stopped, and the dark shadow quietly receded...

"...Cough... Cough cough cough!!!"

Ringo Ameyuri started coughing violently.

Only when the dark shadow completely vanished from the room and the light from outside shone in did she manage to stop coughing.

"Hoo..."

She let out a long sigh and looked at the bright ceiling.

Ringo Ameyuri lay on the bed, her thoughts drifting far away.

In the end, she could only sigh, "What a... mouth-dropping experience..."

Early morning.

Nonō woke up.

The sky outside was already completely bright.

Last night, she had slept very deeply.

Medical Ninjutsu consumes a lot of Chakra.

So... it was understandable that exhaustion led to deep sleep.

However, to be able to sleep so soundly while surrounded by enemies, it must have something to do with Young Master Akira Sarutobi.

Just seeing his confident face made her feel that he could accomplish anything, which was truly reassuring.

After washing up, Nonō walked into Ringo Ameyuri's room.

"Good morning, everyone..."

Everyone gathered, starting a new day.

"You... didn't sleep well last night?" After checking on Ringo Ameyuri, Nonō felt strange.

"..."

Ringo Ameyuri rolled her eyes.

Of course, Nonō didn't know what happened last night.

She used her Medical Ninjutsu Chakra to examine Ringo Ameyuri's body, and the conclusion was the same as yesterday.

"Ringo Ameyuri, from the Land of Water, critical condition turned stable, height 1.43 meters, sub-healthy..."

After a brief examination, Nonō got up and brought Ringo Ameyuri a kettle.

"I don't want to drink."

As the patient, Ringo Ameyuri weakly grunted.

"Anyway, I'm not thirsty... and I'm not hungry..."

Nonō didn't think much of it and continued with another round of treatment.

"..."

Akira Sarutobi stared at the two of them, his gaze shifting to Ringo Ameyuri.

In front of her right retina, a system prompt appeared.

[Injecting Will of Fire into Ringo Ameyuri]

[Current Progress: 30%!]

Over the next two days.

The group continued as usual.

Ringo Ameyuri's physical condition rapidly improved, fully demonstrating Nonō's superb Medical Ninjutsu.

After all, Kabuto's Medical Ninjutsu in the original work was also very powerful, and he was taught by Nonō.

Even within Konoha, Nonō's Medical Ninjutsu was extremely potent.

Only Princess Tsunade and a very select few with medical ninjutsu mastery could surpass her.

And with enough wild food and soldier pills, Akira Sarutobi's training progressed by leaps and bounds.

He had spent a week fusing the Steel Style.

Now, he was officially taking off, needing only to continuously hone his proficiency with the Steel Style: Kekkei Genkai.

In terms of Taijutsu, Akira Sarutobi's main body had not fallen behind either.

Physical strength couldn't be trained with the Shadow Clone Power-Up Training Method, but even so, Akira Sarutobi, relying solely on his own firm willpower and continuous refinement through persistent, long-term training, was enough to keep improving.

It was difficult for a normal ninja to maintain such diligent training.

In the entire Naruto series, only Might Duy, Might Guy, and Rock Lee possessed such an unyielding attitude towards Taijutsu training.

And Akira Sarutobi had one more advantage over those three.

That was the System.

Because as long as his "right eye" observed his body, seeing the visible, ever-increasing, and increasingly scorching thermal imaging, Akira Sarutobi could keep going.

This kind of visible effort, this direct reward for effort, was the best motivation.

If a person could accurately see the extent of their progress, even quantify it, who wouldn't be able to persevere?

As time passed.

Akira Sarutobi's strength grew stronger and stronger.

In Ruri Hyuga's Byakugan, Akira Sarutobi's Chakra intensity grew higher and higher, and the "membrane" on his skin's surface became thicker and thicker.

Bang!

Akira Sarutobi threw a punch.

A faint white aura appeared at the tip of his fist.

In Akira Sarutobi's eyes, everything seemed to slow down.

His punching posture, his speed, every detail.

Even the dew dripping from the branches above was clearly visible.

It was as if a camera lens had been put in slow motion.

Rumble!

The thick tree in front of him was hit by this punch, and the trunk exploded.

A huge crater appeared, and countless cracks spread out.

At this moment, Akira Sarutobi had an epiphany.

Concentrating all his attention, under observation, he naturally unlocked a new function of his right eye.

A waterfall of data flowed across the retina of his right eye.

Finally...

[Will of Fire System...]

[Loading new function...]

[Dynamic Vision Module... Activated!]

"..."

Maintaining his punching posture, Akira Sarutobi froze for a few seconds.

This was of course not him spacing out.

But rather, his attention was focused on the new function.

Dynamic vision, also known as reaction speed, was a fundamental indicator for a ninja.

Using a simple example, one could understand the importance of dynamic vision.

Before Kakashi had the Sharingan, when using Chidori and sprinting, he could neither see his own attack clearly nor the enemy's counterattack.

That's why in the original work, Minato Namikaze told Kakashi not to use this Ninjutsu anymore, because he would surely die.

It wasn't until Kakashi obtained Obito's Sharingan that the Chidori technique was perfected.

The reason was that Kakashi lacked the dynamic vision of the Sharingan or Byakugan.

The Flying Thunder God Technique required several, even dozens of times more dynamic vision/reaction speed than Chidori.

Minato Namikaze could even evade the Fourth Raikage Ay's extreme speed with his own abilities.

From this, one could see that Minato Namikaze's talent was far superior to Kakashi's.

Therefore... the importance of dynamic vision/reaction speed was self-evident.

"..."

Akira Sarutobi retracted his fist and scanned his surroundings.

The Kirigakure ninja outside the barrier immediately tensed up. After all, the power of that punch was truly terrifying.

"..."

Akira Sarutobi withdrew his gaze.

Just a glance was enough to understand that his dynamic vision had improved severalfold.

"It's about time to head out..."

Chapter 40: Breakthrough? No, Massacre!

With that, Akira Sarutobi walked back and looked at everyone, who were ready to go.

Ringo Ameyuri had recovered significantly after three days of treatment.

Her complexion was only a little pale; she was completely out of danger, having gone from critical condition to merely weak after a serious illness.

"Let me be clear, I've lost the Lightning Blade and am just recovering from a serious illness..."

Ringo Ameyuri spread her hands, indicating her combat strength was insufficient.

So... don't count on her.

"You can just stay in the back and use Ninjutsu," Akira Sarutobi assigned her a position.

Furthermore, Akira Sarutobi was not entirely unprepared.

Ringo Ameyuri had a safeguard placed on her.

It was a small type of Explosive Tag.

These Explosive Tags were only the size of a card. Their advantage was that they could be self-made, saving money. Their disadvantage was that their explosive power and range were relatively small.
