Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 115 - The Cloud’s Plot

Chapter 115: The Cloud’s Plot

s

Right as Ryo was coming back, he met Kus.h.i.+na, who was rus.h.i.+ng out of Konoha’s camp.

From her state, he realized that the matter had been exposed.

On behind her, Uchiha Maan was hurrying to hide behind a crowd. Ryo gazed at him

fiercely. If he hadn’t saved little Kotori already, he wouldn’t let him get away with it.

Maan was actually filled with regrets. He had no idea about the relations.h.i.+p between

Kus.h.i.+na and the family, as he never talked to them while on the sailboat.

After all, all he knew was that Kus.h.i.+na had a red hair family. Who knew that when

mentioning that the kid who was kidnapped had red hair, Kus.h.i.+na would become concerned

for her family?

“Ryo! Is Kotori okay?” Kus.h.i.+na rushed over and held Kotori.

“Don’t worry Ne-san, she just fainted from the shock. We better let her wake up on her own

as she should be pretty afraid.”

“Good!” Hearing Ryo, Kus.h.i.+na couldn’t help but sigh of relief. But immediately, her hair

floated again, and she was burning with anger!

“Ne-san, calm down! Please calm down!”

“Did you take care of those cloud Ninjas?” Asked Kus.h.i.+na in a cold tone.

It was the 1st time Ryo heard her speak in such a tone. Saying that she was angry is an

understatement.

After all, s.h.i.+ns.h.i.+ro’s family are actually her only remaining relatives in the world. It’s

natural that should would be so furious and worried.

“Of course. There’s only this guy left, to squeeze the info out of him.” Ryo quickly

explained

Kus.h.i.+na nodded, holding Kotori, and then headed towards the medical Ninjas’ tent.

“Fortunately, I was back in time. otherwise, we might have had problems with Kus.h.i.+na Nesan.”

“Ryo, you don’t know that she went and released six tails?” Maan said weakly, then pointed

at the scorched land outside the west side of the camp.

“Six tails?” Ryo looked to where Maan pointed, and he was shocked! What used to be a

forest in that side was all gone, and all that was left behind was devastation.

Ryo shook his head helplessly, then went to Minato’s tent.

“Minato san, do we know where Kus.h.i.+na’s niece was…” A jonin was asked.

“Don’t worry about it anymore, Kus.h.i.+na Ni san had picked her up.”

Hearing Ryo, everybody in the tent, including Minato, were relieved.

None of them was able to wrap their minds around the immense power that the Six Tails

mode brought to Kus.h.i.+na.

It was actually Kus.h.i.+na’s unwillingness to hurt the innocent that made her point her

Bijudama away, destryong the forest on the camps west. Otherwise, half the camp would’ve

been blown up.

“Everyone, Kotori had been saved, and Kus.h.i.+na Ni-san is fine. Now, we need to discuss how

to handle this guy.”

Saying that, Ryo revealed to them the frozen Cloud Ninja behind him.

“This man is the captain of the squad that made the kidnapping. He’s a Quasi Kage. I think

we should be able to get some valuable information out of him.”

“Quasi Kage?!” Minato didn’t expect Ryo to bring back such a surprise.

Someone at that level should be a prominent figure in their village, and the info taken from a

Quasi Kage can even flip the balance of power between camps.

“Ryo, the matter of getting intelligence is still yours.” Said Minato.

Of course, n.o.body was to object, as none of them doubted the Yamanaka’s ability when it

comes to reading minds, just as they trust the Aburame’s insects or the Hyuga’s eyes.

Ryo pressed his hand against the Cloud Ninja’s head.

His consciousness entered his mind, and he began reading his memories.

A person’s memory is vast, and one could not find to read it all. Ryo directly went to what

seemed most prominent to the Cloud Ninja himself.

He learned that this man was named Troy, a disciple of the 3rd Raikage. He was just on

patrol, and didn’t expect to encounter Uzumaki clan members.

The Cloud Ninjas had long coveted the Uzumaki clan. Before, they were the ones to

infiltrate Konoha, trying to kidnap Kus.h.i.+na as she was young. Now, finding such an

opportunity, they weren’t about to let go of it. So Troy and his team fought s.h.i.+ns.h.i.+ro.

After beating him and taking away Kotori, Troy was not satisfied with his victory. He

deliberately let s.h.i.+ns.h.i.+ro and his wife go to Konoha’s camp for help.

He was very confident, and had an idea about Konoha’s ranks. If the one to come after him

was to be Minato, he would have run away. If another one was to come, he would have been

delighted and confident enough to face them.

He never thought of the possibility of Konoha’s camp having another Kage Tier, and that led

to his demise.

Later, Ryo continued going through his memories searching for valuable ones. Most of

Tello’s important memories were related to the 3rd Raikage. Two of them had great value.

One of them was the fight between the 3rd and the Hachibi, and the other was a meeting in

the Cloud Camp.

Through Tryo’s memories, Ryo witnessed the immense power of the 3rd Raikage. If the

Yonbi was that much stronger than the Ichibi, one could only imagine how strong the

Hachibi is. However, the 3rd Raikage was able to single-handedly deal with this horrible

existence. From Troy’s memories, the 3rd was actually overpowering the Hachibi. If it

wasn’t for the beast’s practically infinite reserves of Chakra, he would’ve been actually able

to kill it.

Later, the battle got too fierce, and the Cloud Ninjas were hiding in the distance. Like Ryo

knew from the Manga, the Hachibi was restrained, and the 3rd was also seriously injured.

Because everyone one besides Ryo thinks that the 3rd Raikage’s wound was inflicted by the

Hachibi, Troy thought so as well. He found that the 3rd seeing the scar of that wound as his

shame a bit peculiar.

The other memory was the meeting. It was a recent meeting with all the high-end Ninjas of

the hidden cloud.

The 3rd, Ai, Killer B, and Yugiti ni were all Kage tiers. Even though she was physically

weaker than the rest of them, but just like B, she was a perfect Jinchuriki, and she’s Kage tier

when using that power.

The meeting didn’t decide much, but the news within it were shocking. First, the Rain

village joined forces with the Hidden Cloud, and Hanzo the Salamander was coming. The

second was that the 3rd Raikage’s first target was the hidden Rock.

Ryo informed the people in the meeting about what he got. Their faces were heavy when

hearing Hanzo’s name.

Hanzo the Salamander; it was the name of a legend. He was considered a half-G.o.d by many,

and he was certainly one of the strongest Kages. With his presence, this war is only about to

get more complicated.
