Chapter 20 - 20 (2/2)
”Then give me back my disciple!”
”Kushina, our Ninja have just returned from the land of earth with so many of them injured. They are all heroes that we must do all we can to save. Now there are so few medical ninjas. The hospital staff can't handle this all alone!”
”I don't care! If you don't give me a mission out of Konoha, then you must give me back my disciple.”
Such scenes are familiar to the Hokage. Kushina has always been this way. She is stubborn, but the 3rd was relentless. In the end, as usual, she only could leave the office furious!
Konoha's hospital really needed Ryo's presence; everyone worked 24/7 trying to save the injured ninja. A few days later, they were essentially through with treating all the wounded. Ryo and the rest of the staff were completely exhausted.
In his office, the 3rd was feeling really grateful that he kept Ryo in the village. Many of the injured ninjas survived what would have been otherwise certain death.
”Tell Ryo Yamanaka that his job in the Hospital is over, and that he must rejoin Kushina.”
”Yes, Hokage sama!” The Anbu went immediately and notified Ryo.
The next day, Ryo went early to the 3rd training field. To his surprise, there was another one with Kushina: One with a Black mask, silver hair, and pale eyes!
”Oh! Isn't that the famous genius Kakashi Hatake!”
”Isn't that the brat Ryo Yamanaka!” After a long time of not meeting, they said such laughable things. Kakashi still saw him as his rival.
”Hey I see you still have your old grudge. Wanna fight?”
”Sure do!”
Ryo wanted to see what level Kakashi reached in the past two years. After all, he learned how to use Chidori earlier than when he learned it in the mange. Ryo expected great things from him.
He activated his Lightning Chakra Mode, pulled out his dagger and activated the Chidori blade. With the aura of lightning surrounding him, and that dagger in his hand surrounded by a Chidori, he really looked like he was ready to fight!
”So this is the lightning Chakra mode my father said is really strong?”
”I don't think you're strong enough to find out just how strong this mode is!”
Kakashi did not expect Ryo to be that fast, as he popped up right in front of him.
”[Earth release: Mud Wall]” Kakashi's wall took Ryo's attack. He moved away, and as Ryo was too fast, he needed to limit his movement.
”[Earth release: Dark Swamp] [Water Release: Water Waves]” Kakashi used Ninjutsu to form quicksand around him.
”Trying to restrict my movement?” Indeed, Kakashi couldn't keep up with such speed. So with this, he should be able to get Ryo's speed advantage out of the equation.
