Chapter 92 - 92 (2/2)
Back at Konoha camp, besides the ones killed previously by Onoki, only a few were seriously injured by the elite team chosen by Onoki, and the rest were all safe and sound.
The Tsuchikage was enraged and heartbroken as he watched his team of 20 elite Ninjas get surrounded and eventually killed by Konoha's Ninjas, as he was being held off by Orochimaru.
What burned his heart even more was the fact that out of the 20 elite Ninjas, 12 were Jonins or Tokubetsu Jonins. He was furious because if the fact the Roshi was so useless, that Orochimaru actually managed to return to the camp so soon.
He knew he was in a massive disadvantage, and that running was his best option. But still, he was a bit reluctant to do so.
He's been planning this for so long, he's the Tsuchikage, he's sent for Roshi's help, but now, this is the result. For Onoki, doing only this damage is absolutely inacceptable.
As he was fighting Orochimaru, he occasionally sent his Dust Release attacks towards Konoha's Ninjas.
Most of his attacks were being blocked by Orochimaru, but sometime, the latter would just be too late. Overtime, another 100 of Konoha's ninjas were lost.
”Everyone, spread out immediately!” Orochimaru ordered.
Onoki took advantage of his distraction, and sent another attack. It was heading to where Anko was standing!
Orochimaru noticed that, but he was just too far to come to her rescue.
At that time, Ryo was on his way back. As she had his scalpel, he immediately blinked in front of Anko, protecting her along with her fellow ninjas by blocking Onki's attack.
Seeing Ryo's appearance, Onoki's face got heavy. He felt his heart drumming. The kid has returned safe and sound. Where's Roshi? Did he flee? Is he even still…
Even though the two weren't that friendly, he felt bad about it. Losing a Kage tier Ninja in the World War period would be an immense loss for the Hidden Rock.
”Onoki ji san, you can't beat Orochi san, so you just attack those weaker than you? That's shameless for a Kage!” Ryo started mocking Onoki's behavior.
”Hey! Weren't you killing our lower ranks along with that big toad?” Said Onoki.
”That's true indeed, so yeah, maybe now we're even. But if you come to our camp, we can't just let you leave empty-handed, he's my present to you!” Saying that, Ryo took out Roshi's dead body from his scroll.
Seeing the Jinchuriki's dead body, Ononki's face turned blue. Even though he had a hunch about it, seeing the body was far too chocking to him.
He died at the kid's hands! Even without the Yonbi's power, Roshi was just too strong for such a thing to happen.
”Ryo Yamanaka! I will remember you!” Said Onoki.
”Kage san, don't hurry, I have a second gift.” Ryo threw an ice scalpel in the direction of Onoki who was floating in the air.
Onoki dodged it to the side, but Ryo teleported to the scalpel appearing behind Onoki, delivering a Rasengan to his waist!
He didn't want to kill the old man. Actually, he liked him from the days he saw him in the Manga. But he wasn't going to hold back.
