The Hokage Ryos Path
Chapter 48: High-level Meeting

In the conference room of the Hokage's office, the 3rd, Jiraya, Orochimaru, the two advisers, Danzo, and all the clan heads gathered.

“Everything, Jiraya has brought us news from Pasir village. The 3rd Kazekage had disappeared along the border of the fire country. Sand is now using this as an excuse to invade our land.”

The face of the 3rd Hokage showed its burden. He knew that if they fought the Sand, they would not only make them enemies. It will probably end up as an all-out war between all the villages as before. Thinking of this, he could not help but recall the dire consequences of the previous two wars.

Konoha is a hidden village of the Fire Nation. The country strategically connects north to south. Its ecological environment is also the best of the 5 major countries and is suitable for growing crops and for living in general. Between its location, its surroundings, and its powerful hidden village, the fire country was the strongest in the entire world.

Such a prosperous country would naturally always be noticed by its neighbors. They crave their land and resources.

Initially, in the Hashirama Era, he and Uchiha Madara were strong enough to dominate the Ninja world. But after their battle in the Valley of the End and the "Death" of Madara, and soon after that Hashirama followed. This eliminated the prominence that Konoha had, leading to the outbreak of the first world war for the resource.

(Translator's Note: I thought Hashirama was still alive when the war broke out, but I think this is true in a sense: at the 1st Kage Summit, a fragile deal was made, then war went all-out again after Hashirama's death.)

In World War 1, Tobirama Senju was the Hokage. The tension between the Uchiha and Senju clans still exists. Even without Madara and Hashirama in its ranks, Konoha is still able to suppress the other 4 villages. However, it suffered a lot of losses as well. The five countries finally signed a peace treaty, an opportunity for all of them to take a breath.

After the signing of the treaty, Hiruzen led Konoha after the Hokage position was passed to him by Tobirama who was killed in the war.

On top of Konoha, he carefully managed and developed the village for 20 years.20 years of peace is enough to make Konoha prosper again.

Then there was the 2nd world war. Konoha is at its peak with the likes of the legendary 3rd disciple Sannin, White Fang Sakumo Hatake, and Dan Kato among its ranks. This incredible young ninja led Konoha to victory at the end of the war.

"Same Hokage, Same Hokage, Hiruzen!" Homura Mitokado's voice interrupted the 3rd thought.

“Oh sorry, sorry I was thinking something. Meeting continues. As I just said, Sand village will move, so what do you think?” the 3rd goes back to the present and asks the people present.

“Sarutobi Sensei! The Sand Ninja should get special attention because of their unorthodox methods and their use of poison, mainly due to their use of poison!” Jiraya.

“It was true. Back in the 2nd world war, even though we had Tsunade, many of our ninjas fell victim to the Sand poison. Today, we don't have him in our ranks anymore. This poison will cause a much more serious problem.” Koharu Utatane.

“More than that, Konoha's medical ninja has always been led by Tsunade. Now that he's gone, the deployment of the medical forces we have should also be a problem!” Added Homura.

After all these interventions, the conference room became quiet. This is a serious problem that needs to be resolved. Shikaku Nara wonders about the way she should take to suggest Ryo as Tsunade's replacement.

“Sarutobi Sensei, I think Ryo Yamanaka can replace Tsunade.” Orochimaru's voice broke the silence in the conference room.

"Oh? Orochimaru, explain your point of view.” Orochimaru's suggestion made the 3rd eye light up. Ryo is a good choice.

“Sarutobi Sensei, first of all, Ryo Kun is the closest to Tsunade in terms of medical Ninjutsu. Secondly, Yamanaka has always been loyal to Konoha. The only problem was his qualifications and rank. Can we get people to accept his leadership?”

Listening to Orochimaru, the 3rd often nodded in agreement. After he finished listening, he grew more and more convinced.

"What do you think?" the 3rd asked for everyone's opinion.

"Klan Uchiha agrees!"

"Klan Hyuga agrees!"

"Klan Sarutobi agrees!"

"Klan Nara agrees!"

"Klan Akamichi agrees!"

"Klan Yamanaka agrees!"

……

With the exception of the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance, none of the clan heads were interested in the position of Head of the medical team.

"Wait a minute, the old man disagrees!" The sudden opposition of Danzo was not easily swallowed up by the clan Head present.

They had all just agreed and now, he was going to fight them all!

Actually, Danzo can't let this pass. According to his point of view, Ryo was only 9 years old. Yeah, he's great with medical Ninjutsu, but letting a kid be the team captain? That's totally unacceptable.

"Danzo, tell us why you're against this proposition!" 3 Does not have a good look on his face. He simply nodded, and all the clan heads agreed, and now his old comrade was opposed?

“Sarutobi, as Orochimaru said. Ryo Yamanaka's rank and qualifications are not acceptable to the public.”

“Danzo san, I just said that we have to convince the public, not that they cannot be convinced.” Orochimaru.

“Well, no one should question Ryo's qualifications anymore. It was enough for him that he brought Sakumo Hatake back from the dead at the age of 5 when no one else could do that!” When the third person called the name "Sakumo", Danzo retreated for a moment.

He understood what he meant by the third. The events that happened with Sakumo were events that he would never forget. Under the pressure of the Hokage, Danzo could only nod.

The leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance looked at each other in disbelief: They did not expect everything to go so smoothly.

First, it was Orochimaru's proposal, then the third deal, followed by the agreement of all the clan heads! Even Danzo's opposition was suppressed by the 3rd.

“Nah, now that we all agree, the captain of the medical team is Ryo Yamanaka. So now…"

“Wait a minute, Sarutobi Sensei, Yamanaka Ryo is still Genin. Just look at this..” Just when the 3rd was about to proceed to the next topic, Jiraya cut it.

Jiraya means very simple. By developing the Healing Stone, Ryo benefits the village and all future generations. The village became very secretive about it for various reasons.

The 3rd glared at his student. Of course he knows that Ryo is just a Genin. He intended to promote Ryo to the rank of Chunin after the end of this meeting. But he did not expect Jiraya to say this in public.

“Ryo Yamanaka has indeed made a great contribution to the village. It is fitting that he be promoted to the rank of Chunin.” Koharu Utatane knew what the 3rd would do, and just said it out loud.

This time, even Danzo had no reason to refuse. Ryo's healing stone gave him a lot of praise, and he was indeed worthy of being Chunin.

The clan heads would not oppose this even if Jiraya did not reveal that Ryo was the person behind the stone.

After that, all the topics raised in the meeting revolved around special preparations for the war against the Sand village.
