Chapter 76 - 76 (1/2)

After Pakura left, Ryo was ready to handle Shukaku that hadn't been able to move for more than the past 10 minutes under the effect of the Ice Blade Whirlpool. The wounds on its body were being maintained by them.

When Ryo and Gamahiro reached it, Shukaku did not laugh as usual. Instead, it looked at them calmly.

”Haha! How does it feel being trapped in here?” It was Gamahiro's turn this time to mock Shukaku.

The Ichibi didn't care about Gamahiro, but instead he looked at Ryo: ”Kid, this is your 2nd time beating me.”

”Not this time. Our purpose this time was just to trap you.”

”Haha! For a human, you're really frank!”

”Shukaku, goodbye!” After he finished his words, Ryo froze the entire whirlpool, turning Shukaku into a huge block of ice.

Ryo then moved to its top, and pieced Bunpuku's shoulders through the Ice with a Chidori Eiso. Because he was in that mode, Shukaku's regeneration prevented Bunpuku from dying.

Still, the pain woke him up, making Shukaku disappear.

Along with him was Gamahiro, who's been as overwhelming as a fierce tiger. The Ordinary Sand Ninjas had no chance against such a massive killer.

On the other side, Konoha had been also winning all the major duels. The 4th Kazekage and Chiyo were both seriously injured.

Jiraya and the two great Sage toads were unscathed. Sakumo was also able to remain untouched by Chiyo with his superb swordsmanship.

The Sand had their two Kage tier Ninjas severely injured, one of their quasi Kage tier fighter killed and the other escaping. Their Biju was taken care of by Ryo. Several of their Jonin were being beaten by Konoha's elite. Konoha had already won this battle.

Ryo left Gamahiro fighting along with the ordinary Ninjas and went to protect the Ino-Shika-Cho ninjas on the field.

The three tribes are easily identifiable. They always fight in trios, and they always have the obvious big frame of an Akamichi fighting along.

Ryo observed the battlefield with his spiritual power. Where are the problems? Where should he provide support?

Ryo had just saved a group that was surrounded, when he found out that an acquaintance in front was injured.

Ryoko Yamanaka, the daughter of his uncle, was 7 years older than him. She was considered another genius in the family.

Finding out that she was injured, Ryo became anxious. He entered the Lightning Chakra mode and blinked to where she was.

”Oy! Damn, where are the medical Ninjas!” Ryo recognized the man holding her as a Nara from his hair. In front of them protecting the two was an Akamichi.

”Hey let go of Ne-san, I'm a medical Ninja.” Rokk Nara heard a sudden cold voice that disturbed him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief realizing that it was Ryo.

After inspecting Ryoko's wound, Ryo's face what heavy. The blades of a Sand Puppet had pierced her lungs. They were extremely poisonous and she was in critical state.

”I need to give her an emergency treatment; otherwise we're losing her today.” Finishing his words, Ryo made a small bed with Ice and set up four opaque ice walls around him.

Eager to save his ”sister”, Ryo forgot that Rokk Nara was within those walls. After he made his preparations, he proceeded to untying her upper clothes.
