Chapter 44 - 44 (1/2)
The Yamanaka clan has recently made a lot of money from the sale of the Healing Stones, and the pockets of the developer and producer, Ryo, were also getting filled.
When Obito and Rin arrived, the 4 of them enjoyed a good meal in the barbecue shop. The charm of barbecued meat was strong enough to even keep Obito off of quarreling with Kakashi.
After the barbecue, the 4 walked around the streets of Konoha talking about the recent situation.
”Obito, who is the one to be our instructor now?”
”That, I don't know.” Being an Uchiha, Obito usually is well informed about whatever happens in the village. Rin tried to ask him this question but she didn't expect him to have no answer.
”Huh, you already know that you are together in a group?” Ryo didn't hear their teacher dividing them into groups yet. So he asked them about it.
”Before the exam, Obito told me that everyone will pass. And he also said that we will be in a team together.”
”It seems that the war is coming soon!” The fixed results should only mean that they are needed in the upcoming war.
Ryo remembered how the 3rd world war originally erupted. It was because the 3rd Kazegake went missing. Back when Jiraya went to the sand to collect information, there were so many internal problems there, and it's safe to assume from his description that it's because Sasori went Rogue.
Actually, it was after that fact that Sasori assassinated the 3rd Kazekage who came to pursue him. The Sand used this as an excuse to wage war. The world war seems to be really close.
”Kakashi, Obito, Rin. The war is about to begin. Everyone will be sent to the battlefield. These are Healing Stones that I made, 30 of them, 10 for each of you. Their effect is similar to that of the Healing Palm.” Ryo distributed the stone to his friends.
Kakashi already knew what it was, so he took them. Obito and Rin saw him do it and did not refuse.
”There's only so much that I can do. Be careful on the battlefield. Especially Obito, I'm relying on you. You're a hero.”
He knew that Obito was taken in by Madara in the Kannabi Bridge battle, and that Rin was accidentally killed by Kakashi a year before Minato became the 4th Hokage. But that was in the Manga. Now this is his real world.
He can never guarantee that their experience in the Manga would not be repeated. Now he just can try everything possible that he can do in hope that all three of them survive.
After bidding farewell with the 3, Ryo went back to the 3rd training ground, where Yugao was still waving her sword. This was no easy feat for a four year old girl.
”Yugao, stop, I have something to say to you.”
Hearing Ryo's voice, Yugao stopped her practice. He never interrupted her training, this must be something important.
”What's the matter Ryo Nii-san?”
”Yugao, starting tomorrow, I want you to stop coming to the 3rd training ground.”
”Why?”
”There is a war that's about to take place. Ryo Onii-san needs to make some preparations.”
Yugao nodded her head. Although she had never experienced the war, she was already terrified because of the words of her parents and her surroundings.
