Chapter 25 - 25 (2/2)

”Ryo, I want us to hand-over the Rasengan to Konoha.”

”Nii-san this is your Jutsu, why should I come along?”

Minato shook his head and said: ”Ryo, this technique was developed by both of us. I thought that it would take me at least half a year before completing it when I met you. Now I actually completed it and took it to a new level in mere weeks, and that's all thanks to your help. This technique is undoubtedly not mine alone. ”

Minato was being completely honest. While Ryo wanted to get to use Rasengan, he didn't expect to be named as one of its developers.

”Nii-san, I agree that we should hand it over! I also want to come along with you to Sandaime sama and hand over Chidori to the village.”

Ryo's attitude made Minato really happy. He really loved Konoha: In the words of the 3rd, he carried the will of fire. Ryo didn't just agree to hand over Rasengan to the village, he also added Chidori to it, an A grade Ninjutsu that he himself ”developed”. Minato couldn't be happier.

”Nii-san, are you going to hand over the Rasenshuriken as well?”

”Of course not! I'll just hand over Rasengan, the base form. You also should only deliver the base form of Chidori, no need to include any derivate techniques! ”

Ryo's liked what Minato just said to him. To him, turning in these two techniques was no big deal. Moreover, he had already the idea of handing over Chidori in exchange for something that should be of great value for the Yamanaka clan!

The two arrived at the Hokage's Office. The 3rdwas smoking his pipe as casually as ever.

”Oh, it's Minato and Ryo! Is there anything?”

”Hokage sama, Ryo and I have two self-developed Ninjutsu techniques that we want to offer to the village. The two are also A grade!”

”Oh? A grade techniques?” The 3rd smiled and raised his eyebrows!

”Yes, one is Ryo's Thunder Ninjutsu technique [Chidori], and the other is my nature-neutral no-seal Ninjutsu technique [Rasengan].”

Two A-grade techniques are valuable assets for any village.

The 3rd looked at the two and was really pleased. He wasn't surprised by the fact that Minato was able to develop one, but he never expected the 7 year old Ryo Yamanaka to develop an A-grade Ninjutsu. He saw the future of Konoha before his eyes.

He asked them to choose their rewards for such an achievement. Konoha offered rewards for those who develop a Jutsu and offer it to the village. Minato did not hesitate asking for the scrolls that had Tobirama's research on Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

However, Ryo asked the 3rd for a promise! From now on, no Yamanaka should ever be forced to join Root!

The 3rd happily accepted Minato's request. But he took a while thinking about Ryo's. While the 2 were still in his office, he called for Danzo.

When Danzo entered the office, the 3rd directly said: ”Danzo, Minato, and Ryo have handed over two A-grade techniques to the village. I promised that the Yamanaka clan members will no longer need to enter Root from now on. Root will not be allowed to take Yamanaka's anymore.

”What? How can this happen? The Yamanaka's have great spiritual power. Entering Root can hone their skill to a higher level. You are…”

The 3rd didn't let him finish his words:  ”You don't have to say more. Root will no longer be allowed to select Yamanaka's.”

”Oh!” Danzo puffed coldly, stared fiercely at Ryo, and left with a gloomy face.
