Young Master, Please Become Hokage

The world of ninja, and Hokage, is also a world where minds mature early.

The confusion of youth is also the secretion of hormones. This biological activity is most intense during adolescence and is an instinct that cannot be changed by human will.

Soon, Rin Nohara averted her gaze, admonishing herself not to overthink and to think more about Kakashi...

The cold wind blew.

Rin Nohara shivered involuntarily.

Immediately, a warm outer coat was draped over her.

"!"

Rin Nohara instinctively looked over and saw that Young Master Ryo's expression was as usual, with only a hint of gentle concern in his eyes.

"Rin, it's getting a bit cold, don't catch a chill."

"Mm... Mm..."

Rin Nohara immediately averted her eyes and lowered her head.

A warm feeling spread from the outer coat, a masculine scent enveloping her, making her face flush and her head spin.

This unprecedented experience left the young girl somewhat flustered.

And Akira Sarutobi naturally understood her girlish demeanor and thoughts.

In the original work, Rin Nohara's death by Kakashi's Chidori might not have been without the possibility that her despair, stemming from never receiving a response, led her to take her own life, thereby "conveniently" ending the threat of the Three-Tails within her.

If Rin Nohara hadn't liked Kakashi at the time, perhaps the three of them would have suffered much less pain.

Whether from the perspective of winning over Rin Nohara or ensuring her survival, such advance planning was necessary.

"An excellent Medical Ninja can be of great help to me later..."

Akira Sarutobi thought to himself.

When they returned to Rin Nohara's residence, she handed back the coat and quickly closed the door.

Judging by her reaction, she would probably be overthinking all night.

Putting the coat back on, Akira Sarutobi quickly returned to the Sarutobi Clan's encampment.

Walking back into the courtyard, Akira Sarutobi looked up at the starry sky, unable to sleep for a long time.

Ino Yamanaka came into the courtyard, originally intending to report on the progress of Rin Nohara's analysis. Seeing the Young Master gazing into the distance, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Young Master, what are you worried about?"

Without waiting for Akira Sarutobi's response, she added gently, "No matter what the Young Master does, I will support you with all my might."

"Mm."

Akira Sarutobi raised his arm and held his childhood friend's slender hand, a decision made in his heart.

Judging by both actions and intentions.

Konoha should not be allowed to degenerate like this.

It wasn't just about changing Kagami Uchiha's fated death, but the entire Konoha and the Shinobi World needed a change.

In the following days.

Rin Nohara frequently came to analyze the remains. During her research, her Medical Ninjutsu gradually improved, and she mastered more medical knowledge.

Her unusual behavior naturally piqued the curiosity of her friend Obito.

"Rin~."

One day, early in the morning, Obito came to Rin Nohara's house, ready to play with her.

However, Rin Nohara was in a hurry, grabbing her bags and heading out. The research had reached a critical final step, and she couldn't afford any delays.

So, she looked at Obito and said gently, "Obito~, I have something important to do. You should also train hard and strive to catch up to Kakashi as soon as possible."

After giving her instructions, Rin Nohara quickly departed.

Watching the goddess leave, Obito felt a little disappointed. "Rin seems very busy these days..."

Without overthinking it, Obito assumed Rin would settle down after a while.

He scratched his head and encouraged himself, "Obito, you have to work hard! You're a talent that even Young Master Ryo has praised! Heh heh..."

The morning sun slowly rose.

As the streets became bustling with people, Rin Nohara's research over the past week finally came to an end.

In the secret room, Rin Nohara breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Akira Sarutobi beside her. "Young Master Ryo, I haven't failed you~."

She explained the method of operating "Ice Release Chakra" and its detailed composition principles, filling in the last piece of the puzzle.

Analyzing intelligence from corpses to acquire Jutsu was something all ninja villages were doing.

Rin Nohara had proven her talent.

"Rin, you've worked hard," Akira Sarutobi thanked her solemnly.

Her eyes looking up at the resolute male face before her, Rin Nohara's small face flushed as she immediately lowered her gaze. "N-no, it's nothing... Young Master Ryo, this is my duty..."

As a student at the Ninja Academy, and a future ninja, Rin Nohara had an obligation to help the village, and this was part of it.

Secondly, through their interactions during this period, Rin Nohara had gradually come to understand the true nature of ninja society.

The experience was vastly different from her past relationships at school, and she found it incredibly refreshing.

Despite being a child, she was participating in adult missions.

This also made Rin Nohara realize that perhaps she had been a bit naive in the past.

She needed to graduate as soon as possible and shed her student status.

The ninja world was vast. Only by graduating first could she help more people and contribute more to the village. This was something she had realized over the past week.

"Here are the 150,000 ryo we agreed on. I'll also give you an additional 50,000 ryo..."

Akira Sarutobi took a stack of money.

Before Rin Nohara could refuse, Akira Sarutobi continued.

"The extra 50,000 ryo is my sponsorship for you... Everyone appreciates talent, Rin... You will undoubtedly become a formidable Medical Ninja, no less than Princess Tsunade..."

Akira Sarutobi's praise, high evaluation, and earnest advice made Rin Nohara feel the sincerity and hope in his words.

She pursed her lips, ultimately not refusing, but solemnly accepting the additional sponsorship. "Young Master Ryo, please rest assured, I will continue to work tirelessly~."

Feeling the weight of responsibility on her shoulders, Rin Nohara nodded and bid farewell.

She had expended too much energy and would rest well upon returning.

As she walked to the entrance, Rin Nohara bumped straight into a barrier.

Lost in thought, she had forgotten that the entrance required a jutsu to open.

Bang!

"Ah~."

Rin Nohara let out a small, animal-like cry.

Just before she fell, a strong arm caught her.

"Rin... Are you alright?"

"Waaah~."

Rin Nohara slowly looked up.

She saw Akira Sarutobi's handsome, resolute face, and Akira Sarutobi... also saw the trembling eyes of the young girl.

Her flushed, pretty face showed her reaction.

Her eyes, almost melting like water, hinted at... a maiden's burgeoning affection.

Rin Nohara quickly stood up, hurriedly bowed in thanks, and then hastily turned and ran away.

Watching her retreating figure, Ino Yamanaka smiled with a knowing look. "Young Master is truly amazing..."

-- He completely captivated that little girl in just a few moves.

"..."

After Rin Nohara's figure disappeared from view, Akira Sarutobi's expression slowly turned cold.

He walked back into the secret room, not even glancing at the corpse on the table, his gaze fixed directly on the analysis scroll Rin Nohara had written.

The information on "Ice Release: Bloodline Limit" was fully absorbed and analyzed by his brain, and finally... Akira Sarutobi nodded. "So... that's how it is..."

Chapter Fifty-Five: Cultivating Ice Release!

In a valley behind Konoha, bathed in the vibrant spring air, it was nighttime.

Akira Sarutobi sat cross-legged on a rock, having been there for an entire day.

Two Anbu members waited silently in the shadows, their expressions growing increasingly impatient.

Both were veterans of "Anbu Squad Six."

During the Second Shinobi World War, the leader and squad captains of Anbu Squad Six had died in battle, and more than half of the ordinary members were killed or wounded, making the unit almost unsustainable.

When the two received orders and heard that someone had been appointed as "Squad Captain," they were initially very pleased.

After all, Anbu Squad Six was more than just a unit designation for them, the survivors. It symbolized precious past experiences, memories, and glory.

However, after reporting for duty and waiting for a full day, their initial thoughts began to change.

The Hokage's eldest son, this young master, had been sitting there motionless all day.

Even training wasn't like this.

Just as the two began to grumble inwardly, wondering if Young Master Akira was intentionally making things difficult for them as the "new official"...

A subtle change began to occur.

White specks of light suddenly began to drift down from the sky.

With a ninja's superior dynamic vision, one could immediately discern the nature of these white specks of light.

"Snow?"

The two Anbu members were slightly stunned.

More and more snowflakes began to appear in the sky.

To be precise, a strange snowy scene had appeared within a radius of several meters centered on Akira Sarutobi.

It was a season full of spring vitality, yet it was abnormally snowing!

Soon.

Frost spread out. Centered on Akira Sarutobi's cross-legged body, cold air diffused. Snowflakes began to appear on the surface of the rocks, followed by small grasses and short shrubs…

Only then did the two well-traveled Anbu members exclaim in surprise, "Ice Release?!"

Ice Release: Bloodline Limit was a Kekkei Genkai belonging to the Snow Clan of Kirigakure.

The distant Land of Snow also had ninja who could use Ice Release, but that was due to the natural environment.

Now, seeing the strange snowy scene generated around Akira Sarutobi, an impossible possibility immediately surfaced in the minds of the two Anbu members.

"Young Master Ryo... possesses the Ice Release: Bloodline Limit?!"

Their guess was not wrong.

Akira Sarutobi had been sitting here motionless for the past few days, precisely cultivating the Ice Release: Bloodline Limit.

According to the information analyzed by Rin Nohara, he had attempted to fuse the wind and water natures using a special method. After three days and three nights of unceasing practice, initially relying on Shadow Clones and later on comprehension, he had finally succeeded in condensing Ice Release chakra.

It sounded simple, but in reality, talent, method, perseverance, and comprehension were all indispensable.

Akira Sarutobi believed that in the entire Konoha, only he could accomplish this.
