Chapter 56 - 56 (1/2)
Ryo was teaching the medical team when he received a message telling him to go immediately to Sakumo's tent.
”Ryo, you're here! This is a Sand Puppet master who has been just ambushed by Jiraya outside the camp. See what kind of info you can get using the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan.”
Ryo nodded and put his palm against the Sand Ninja's forehead. His consciousness entered his mind.
From his memories, Ryo learned that his name was Shanyu. He was one of the elite Jonin of his village, and a Blue secret technique puppet master.
The Puppet division of the Sand is divided to 4 grades: Black, Blue, White, and Red. Kanjuro in the manga was just a black grade puppeteer during the Chunin exam. Chiyo was a White secret master, and only Sasori of the Red sand was a Red Grade puppeteer.
This is a master of the blue secret, and a Jonin. Jiraya has caught a big fish.
Ryo went more in depth into his Shanyu's mind. His impressive memories were all displayed in front of Ryo, who was quickly browsing through them to find something useful.
Over an hour later, Ryo finally found information related to the current war.
In Shanyu's memory, he was suddenly called out. The village held a meeting where all the Jonins on the village gathered, and the disappearance of the 3rd Kazekage was announced.
The 1st thing Rasa did when becoming the new Kazekage was declaring war. Ryo could see within the memory, how much hatred the Sand Ninja had towards Konoha.
After the war began, and the Sand lost the 1st battle, the 4th Kazekage gathered the Jonins to discuss those events.
Ryo continued to go through Shanyu's memories and found out his task: to harass Konoha's camp and spread chaos within it.
From the memory, Ryo understood that Rasa was afraid to attack because of Jiraya's Sage mode, yet could not just let Konoha's camp have piece and had to dispatch some of his skilled Ninjas to harras them.
He continued to look through Shanyu's mind and found two hidden memories. Usually, hidden memories are the last thing you would ever want to see.
So ininitially, Ryo wanted to skip these two memories, but was afraid that he might miss out on some info related to the war. After some thinking, he decided to check them out.
The 1st memory involved Shanyu and his wife, and the intimate moments made Ryo blush. The 42 year old v_i_r_g_i_n was really embaressed.
The second one came in as a big surprise! It involved a secret mission given by Rasa to Shanyu.
Rasa send Shanyu to Konoha's Camp. It wasn't only to harass the ninja in the camp; it was also to bury gold dust around it!
After Ryo confirmed that there was no other useful memories within Shanyu's mind, his consciousness withdrew.
Even though Ryo had a so much spiritual power, two hours of reading through someone's memories are a lot of work.
He had to rest for quite some time, and then he reported what he found out to Sakumo and Jiraya.
When they realized that the man captured by Jiraya was a Green grade Jonin puppeteer, they had no doubt about the info that they have received from him.
”Sakumo san, is it possible that Rasa has buried the Gold Dust around our camp to sneak in?”
Jiraya fought Rasa; he knew how powerful his gold sand could be. It was absolutely necessary to prevent him from getting access to gold in his opinion.
”It is very possible. The thing is, we don't know a lot about him, and we don't know how he could attack the camp.” Said Sakumo.
