Hokage: Ryo’s Path

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you?" Konoha Maru, who was playing on the side, saw the tears in Sandai Hokage's eyes.

Konoha Maru is 6 years old this year, and since he was a child, Konoha Maru has shown extraordinary talent, and the Sarutobi clan is very excited about it.

Konoha Maru is the grandson of the third generation of Hokage, with a strong root, and with such a strong talent, it is very likely that he will inherit the position of Hokage in the future.

Once Konoha Maru succeeds Hokage, the Sarutobi clan will have a chance to become stronger.

Therefore, the Sarutobi clan intends to tilt the family's resources towards Konoha Maru, so that their grandson can become stronger, and the third Hokage can also see its success.

Hearing what Konohamaru said, Sandai Hokage wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is fine, just remembered some past things, Konohamaru, grandpa will take you to a very important person, okay?"

"A particularly important person? Who is it?" Konoha Maru asked with a look of interest.

"Her name is Tsunade, she is Grandpa's disciple, and Konoha's greatest female ninja."

Hearing that Tsunade is Konoha's greatest female ninja, Konoha Maru suddenly became interested: "I'm going, I'm going!"

"Okay, then let's go together." Saying that, Sandai Hokage picked up Konoha Maru and walked towards the entrance of the village.

At the same time, Tsunade and his party have arrived near Konoha Village, looking in the direction of the village, they can already see Hokage Rock.

Perhaps because of the timidity of being close to the countryside, Tsunade stopped and looked at the village in the distance.

Back then, Tsunade was heartbroken because of the death of her younger brother and lover, and later she found out that someone had tampered with her younger brother's death. Since then, Tsunade was completely disappointed in the village, and left Konoha with Shizune.

After many years, when she returned to Konoha again, Tsunade still couldn't forget what happened back then, but she was still full of nostalgia for the village where she grew up.

After standing in place for a long time, Tsunade took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he took the lead towards the village.

At this time, at the entrance of Konoha Village, a large number of villagers and ninjas had gathered. They were all looking into the distance, hoping to see Tsunade.

A few minutes later, a ninja who looked 40 or 50 years old pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly: "Master Tsunade is there, I saw her!"

Everyone followed his guidance and looked into the distance.

"It's really Tsunade-sama!"

"Yeah, Tsunade-sama is finally back after so many years!"

The older generation of ninjas fought bloody battles on the battlefield of the Second Ninja World War. At that time, their strongest backing was Tsunade. It can be said that more than half of the older generation of ninjas present were rescued by Tsunade.

Tsunade's departure back then caused an uproar in the village, and it was these people who couldn't accept it the most.

After many years, Tsunade finally returned to Konoha, how could they not be excited?

"Master Tsunade!"

"Master Tsunade!"

The villagers and ninjas shouted Tsunade's name together. As Tsunade got closer to the village, the voices of the villagers and ninjas became more and more clear.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Tsunade looked at the familiar faces in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

These people are comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death with her, and now they are all in their mid-fifties.

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Tsunade's emotions were also infected, and his tense mood relaxed: "Everyone, I'm back!"

"Tsunade, welcome home!" A familiar voice in the crowd caught Tsunade's attention.

Tsunade raised his head, and saw the third Hokage with gray hair.

Tsunade's memory of Sandai Hokage has always been when she left Konoha. At that time, Sandai Hokage was full of spirit and worthy of the name of ninja, but the current Sandai Hokage made Tsunade feel extremely uncomfortable.

Tsunade's eyes were a little red, she held back her tears and said to the Third Hokage, "Old man, how are you?"

"It's good! After I retire, I don't have to worry so much, I still have my grandson with me. Come, Konoha Maru, she is Tsunade, don't you want to see her?"

Only then did Tsunade notice Konoha Maru in Sandai Hokage's arms.

After teasing Konoha Maru for a while, Tsunade, Yamanaka Ryo and his party entered the village.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a beautiful woman with red hair and a child about 10 years old, looking at her with a smile.

"Kushina!" Tsunade recognized the red-haired woman at a glance.

Kushina is a member of Uzumaki Mito's tribe. Since Kushina came to Konoha, he has been growing up beside Uzumaki Mito, so the relationship between Tsunade and Kushina is also very close.

"Sister Tsunade, long time no see!" Kushina waved her hand to greet Tsunade.

"Well, Kushina! Long time no see!" Tsunade said with a smile.

After the two chatted for a while, Tsuna pointed to Naruto next to Kushina and asked, "Kushina, is this your son with Minato?"

"Well, his name is Uzumaki Naruto! Now he is studying at the ninja school."

"Go to school? I guess his grades must not be very good, at least his grades in cultural subjects must be bad. After all, his mother is not a good student."

Kushina's face turned red instantly: "Sister Tsunade, how can you say such things in front of Naruto!"

"Haha! Let's not talk about this, let's go in!"

That night, Tsunade and Yamanakato went to the Hatake Clan together to meet Hatake Sakumo.

In the living room of the Hatake clan, the three of them sat cross-legged, and Sakumo Hatake asked with a smile: "Tsuna, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing?"

"I've been away from the village for so long, and I don't have to worry about these things, and my life is quite comfortable. On the contrary, Senior Sakumo, who has been acting as Hokage's agent for so many years, must be bored to death!"

Sakumo Hatake said helplessly: "Oh, there is no way, Minato is not here, that guy Orochimaru has run away, and you and Jiraiya are also wandering outside, far and unreliable, who else can be this Hokage besides me?"

"Thank you, Sakumo-senpai." Tsunade said with some embarrassment.

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, what's the matter with you this time?"

"You'd better ask this kid for details! I was entrusted by this brat and Minato to support me when I returned to the village this time."

Hatake Sakumo frowned and asked, "Back up? What are you and Minato planning?"

"That's how it is. Brother Minato intends to help the subfamily of the Hyuga clan break away from the control of the clan."

Afterwards, Yamanakato and Hatake Sakumo explained the situation.

"Yuan, I have no objection to this matter, but don't rush it. I think you all know how important the Hyuga clan is to the village. If something happens, it will have a great impact on the village."

"Well, I know, Uncle Sakumo, don't worry, we have confirmed that the Hyuga clan has a way to release the caged bird, and it is not difficult for Shisui to get this method."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, "Well, it's good that you know it in your heart."
