Have you ever thought of becoming Hokage?

Utatane Koharu.

She hasn't made a move yet, not just because she's not good at fighting.

Deep down, she didn't agree with bowing down to Cloud Village, but if it was for the sake of the village, she had no choice but to sacrifice Hyuga Hiashi's daughter.

"If you admit your mistakes now, Hyuga Hiashi have committed can be forgiven," Mitokado Homura said coldly.

For Konoha, Wood Release is not just a matter of faith, but also a matter of strength. After witnessing the First Hokage's Wood Release, no Konoha higher-ups has not fantasized about the emergence of another Wood Release master in the village.

'It would be a real shame if such a talented person died.'

"Can all be forgiven?"

Yes, all can be forgiven.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll give you a way out: kowtow three times to me..."

Mitokado Homura glared at him and said, "What did you say?!"

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Kanami continued, "Then I'll kowtow three times to my father-in-law..."

"I think you've gone mad! You're just an avatar, do you really think you can turn the world upside down? Sparrow, kill him!"

Mitokado Homura gave the order to the swan beside him.

But the sparrow beside him did not obey his orders. He was not stupid. After seeing Zhu dead, he already knew that he was no match for the opponent, even if it was just a clone.

Sparrow took a few steps back and said, "I am loyal to Konoha and the Lord Hokage, not an advisor."

He would be willing to die for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he felt uneasy about dying for these two guys.

"In such a crisis, shouldn't we be united against a common enemy? Why are you all backing down?"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again," Kanami shook his head helplessly.

"Finally, you'll need to kowtow ten thousand times to my girlfriend Hinata Hyuga, and then I'll forgive you."

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Kanami's words; even Mitokado Homura, no matter how incompetent, was still a human being.

His face was grim as he swiftly Hand Seals.

"A sneak attack?"

Kanami clasped his hands together in prayer.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

A green Wood Dragon swam in an S-shape, instantly entangling Mitokado Homura and interrupting his Ninjutsu.

Then the Wood Dragon opened its massive jaws and bit down on his arm!

After it bit down, the Wood Dragon shook violently.

Zla--

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Mitokado Homura screamed in agony.

His arm snapped off instantly, and blood gushed out!

It wasn't just broken bones; his arm was literally ripped off.

It was only because Kanami intentionally controlled the Wood Dragon to prevent it from swallowing his head that he was able to succeed; otherwise, his head would have already been separated from his body.

Seeing this, Utatane Koharu quickly gathered her Chakra, preparing to use Medical Ninjutsu to treat him.

At that moment, Kanami extended the Kusanagi Sword in front of her.

He said calmly, "You'd better not save him. Saving him will only make him experience the pain of having his arm torn off again."

When Utatane Koharu around and saw Kanami's cold expression, she had only one thought in her mind: he was capable of doing such a thing.

She didn't say anything more, stopped what she was doing, and stepped aside.

"You beast! You ruined me!"

Mitokado Homura cursed loudly, his expression twisted, the pain in his body and the hatred of realizing he could no longer use Ninjutsu were fully displayed on his face.

"I'm exploring your Potential. I've seen people Hand Seals with their feet before; you could definitely learn from that."

"Beast! Demon!"

Seeing that the other person wouldn't listen to a word, Kanami stopped paying attention to him and used Wood Release: Transformation to sprout a tree from the ground, entangle him, and shut his mouth.

"Red! You!"

When Xiang arrived and saw Mitokado Homura covered in blood, he was at a loss for words.

"You've left yourself with no way out by doing this. Yeah, I know, I never need a way out."

Kanami looked at the elephant and added on his behalf.

He already knew everything. His unwillingness to change anything wasn't because he couldn't, but because he was too lazy to. If they hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have cared about these Konoha- boring insects.

From the very beginning, his goal was clear: to marry a big-breasted, considerate, and cute girl like Hinata, and live a comfortable life.

And they're taking their anger out on their own wives—who can tolerate that?

"So, Xiang, will you help this old man catch me this time?"

Kanami remained calm and composed.

Xiang felt a mix of complex emotions and bitterness. If he had joined forces with Danzō during Danzō's time to kill him, there might have been a chance.

But now, the red-haired boy in front of me has become a towering mountain.

' Lord Third, did you foresee his Potential all along?'

Before long, more Anbu members gathered there, but none of them dared to rescue Mitokado Homura.

The large number of people did not give the elephant any confidence.

He sighed and said, "I didn't know how last time, so naturally I won't this time either."

Even with a large number of people, they weren't confident they could actually encounter the other party. Moreover, they already knew the other party was just an avatar; trading their lives for an avatar wasn't even guaranteed, and no one would make that deal.

"Aka, can the Advisor Utatane come with us?"

Kanami thought for a moment and said, "She has to kowtow to my father-in-law and admit her mistake."

"Raving!"

"A member of the Anbu shouted angrily."

The next second, the Wood Dragon that had been entangled with Mitokado Homura opened its massive jaws and lunged at him.

The Anbu trembled when he saw the three-meter-long Wood Dragon coming towards him.

He never imagined that his casual remark would lead to the other party wanting to kill him!

He quickly threw several Explosive Tag at the Wood Dragon!

But after swallowing the Explosive Tag, the Wood Dragon withstood the explosion with its massive maw, its speed undiminished, and finally crushed its head in one bite!

Blood splattered onto the Wood Dragon's body, staining its green form crimson and making it appear even more terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the group of Anbu all retreated several meters.

They had hunted down countless Ninja and thought they were numb to death, but witnessing their comrade's head being smashed to pieces sent shivers down their spines.

"That Red-haired Kid is fucking cruel!"

They gasped inwardly.

No one else spoke.

Utatane Koharu swallowed hard, as if she had made up her mind.

Thump!

Without warning, she knelt down before Kanami and kowtowed deeply.

Kanami's face remained indifferent. "I told you to kowtow and apologize to Hyuga Hiashi, not to me."

Utatane Koharu, looked up at the red-haired boy in front of her.

"I am guilty. I know that the choice that Homura and I made was very unfair to you, but we had no other choice. If we didn't do it, so many people in the village would be displaced."

Kanami said sternly, "Why should I risk my life for yours? You bowed down back then, and you want to bow down again now? Haven't you been manipulated enough?"

"Only you can tolerate their gradual encroachment. Once they grow stronger, what if they want half of Konoha next? Wouldn't you have to hand it over then too?"

Utatane Koharu. How could he not know the principle of boiling a frog in lukewarm water?

But she had no choice, and neither did the entire Konoha, unless a more powerful leader emerged.

"Do you... have any thoughts about Hokage?"
