Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 491

Sasuke’s eyes opened and found that Yamanaka Ryo was smiling at him, and immediately realized that everything just now was arranged by Yamanaka Ryo.

“Ryo-sama, was that Genjutsu just now?”

“Are you sure? You can’t tell it yourself? Did that Chakra feel the same as Genjutsu?”

Sasuke nodded, “Ryo-sama, I see.”

“Well, let’s get back to the topic. Indra has explained to you about the eternal Mangekyō, but it is not the time to change your eyes. Your Mangekyō’s eyes power has not reached the limit, and you haven’t awakened Susanoo. At this time, if you turn on the Eternal Mangekyō you will hurt yourself, so you need one step further to exercise your eye’s Dojutsu.”

“Exercise Dojutsu? How to do it? Ryo-sama, will you teach me?”

Yamanaka Ryo patted Sasuke’s shoulders.

A chill from his padded shoulders reached Sasuke’s whole body. Sasuke shivered and turned to look at Yamanaka Ryo.

Yamanaka Ryo laughed and said, “I’m just an outsider, I can’t help you. But I will let Minato-nii take you to a place where you will slowly increase Mangekyō’s eyes power through battle until you can use Susanoo in the Third-Stage like Itachi. When you already achieve that, you will break this Ice Scalpel, and I will pick you up and help you open the eternal Mangekyō. “

Sasuke accepted Yamanaka Ryo’s proposal without the slightest hesitation. Namikaze Minato then sent Sasuke to a space left by Kaguya that afternoon.

In this space, there are nearly a thousand White Zetsu with the same level as Jōnin, and the strength of 5 White Zetsu was very close to Elite Jōnin. It is just these White Zetsu’s intelligence that would be a problem. They aren’t smart enough to become Sasuke opponents.

………

After sending Sasuke away, Yamanaka Ryo asked Orochimaru to clone Uchiha Itachi’s body and then repaired Itachi’s soul, ready to resurrect Itachi when everything was over.

As for the reason why Itachi was resurrected before Shinobi World War, the reason is simple. Because Itachi, Namikaze Minato, and Yahiko also died at that time, but the soul was retained by Yamanaka Ryo.

When someone was resurrected, they had no Chakra and Sharingan. Everything had to start from scratch. The enemies confronted during Shinobi World War were at least at the Jōnin level. If Itachi were to resurrect in the Shinobi World War, it would have sent Itachi directly to hell.

That’s why Yamanaka Ryo decided that after everything has been settled, Itachi can be resurrected.

……

When Yamanaka Ryo repaired Itachi’s soul, Akatsuki had already dispatched. Except for Hoshigaki Kisame, who went to find Hachibi, the other members were moved to Konoha.

On the way, Stealth White Zetsu stopped suddenly on the ground.

Black Zetsu asked in confusion, “Is something wrong?”

“I suddenly lost contact with spores I left on Sasuke.”

“Lost contact? Did someone find your spores?”

“Maybe, but there are very few people who can find my spores at Ninja World, so why …”

“Well I don’t know either! Now that you lost contact with it, let’s focus on Konoha now. We can discuss Sasuke’s problem later.”

White Zetsu nodded, “Okay.”

After that, the two went on.

………

According to the distance between Amegakure and Konoha, people in Akatsuki will arrive in about 3 days. At this time, the training of Naruto Sage Mode has entered the regular stage, and it is possible to go to the natural Chakra without resorting to toad oil sense.

At the same time, Naruto also saw Fūton Rasenshuriken on the Scroll of Seals during training.

Before learning about Jiraiya’s bad news, Naruto had started to study Fūton’s Nature Transformation under the guidance of Asuma and Kakashi and successfully added Fūton in Rasengan to complete the prototype of Rasen shuriken.

It’s just that Rasen shuriken can’t be thrown like in the Manga. The split-second explosion will hurt his arm, so Naruto can only give up on now.

And in the past few days at Mount Myōboku, with the help of natural Chakra, Naruto found that Rasen shuriken’s training has made breakthrough progress. The internal structure of Rasen shuriken that has been mixed with natural Chakra has made it more stable.

Naruto felt that after his Sage Mode training was successful, Rasen shuriken will surely complete perfectly, and he can throw it.

……

Three days passed quickly, and Akatsuki reached the border of the Country of Fire.

“What’s going on inside Konoha?” Tendo asked White Zetsu aside.

“We are lucky. According to the information by my spore, the situation in Konoha village is the same as what I detected before. Yamanaka Ryo, Uchiha Shisui, Uzumaki Kushina are not there. There’s only a few main battle strengths left, and we can do it.”

“Okay, let’s get started! Tobi, the barriers in the Konoha will be entrusted to you, and the guards on both sides of the village will be taken care of by me and Konan.”

After speaking, Tendo took the lead to start the action. Konan followed him closely from behind.

Obito and White Zetsu killed Konoha’s guard one by one.

Konoha’s barriers have always been weak. Obito came to the weak points of the barrier. As soon as he was ready to start, he found a layer of inconceivable Frost in the weak points of the barrier. If he did not have Mangekyō, he would ignore this layer of Frost.

Obito muttered to himself, “This guy, he’s fully prepared.”

At this point, Obito didn’t have any concerns. He shot directly to open a gap in the barrier. Pain and White Zetsu also successfully killed the guards and came to meet Obito.

Pain was the first to enter through the gap in the barrier. Obito followed closely from behind, and Akatsuki successfully invaded Konoha.

……

At the same time at Otogakure, Yamanaka Ryo sensed that someone had broken his Frost that covers the barrier.

“It finally started! I can’t wait any longer!”

After speaking, Yamanaka Ryo teleported to Minato’s room and informed them that Akatsuki had begun the operation and then went to Orochimaru’s laboratory with them.

……

After the past few days of training, Jiraiya’s injury is almost healed completely, but his vocal cords have not completely recovered, so it sounds strange.

Yamanaka Ryo pushed in, just in time to see Jiraiya was writing.

“Jiraiya sensei, are you writing a book?” Namikaze Minato asked with a smile.

Jiraiya nodded.

“It’s a sequel from before! What’s the matter?” Jiraiya put away his notebook and looked towards them.

Kushina gave Yamanaka Ryo a wink. Yamanaka Ryo immediately said, “Uncle Jiraiya, Akatsuki has invaded Konoha. The barriers outside Konoha have just been broken. They should be in the village now!”

“What? Then what are you still doing here? Quickly get back to the village!”

“Uncle Jiraiya, don’t worry. We are preparing to go back, but even if we go back now, we won’t help them immediately, because this time a new hero will appear, to save the village.”

“The new hero? Who is it?”
