Chapter 99 - 99 (1/2)
Bing Yuki wasn't aware of Ryo's purpose. He was driven by the pride of confidence of the Yuki clan, and not worried at all as he didn't believe that a teenager could have many Ice Jutsus at that age.
But no matter what kind of Ice Jutsu he used to attack the Ryo, the latter responded with the same.
Ryo's ice is condensed with Natural Energy, and manipulates air moister. The Yuki clan's Ice relies directly on their Kekkei Genkei Ice Chakra. When it comes to hardness, it doesn't come close to Ryo's.
On top of that, Bing was fighting the five Konoha Jonins for a long time. Over half of his Chakra was already consumed by the time he had to face Ryo.
Therefore, Ryo won the battle of Ice release with ease.
The Head of the Yuki clan, who spent his life living with Ice Release masters, lost to a foreigner.
Ryo didn't kill Bing. He had just learned many Ice Release Jutsus from him, and that's why he couldn't bring himself to do it.
The five Konoha Jonins were a bit embarrassed. They struggled for so long fighting Bing, but Ryo took him down, and with extreme ease.
The strong earn their respect in this world, and power is the absolute source of appreciation. The five Jonins who were not that satisfied with Ryo before changed their attitude towards him after witnessing his strength.
Ryo closed his eyes and took a while to think about all the Jutsus he had learned just now. He just used the Sharingan to copy them all and he had to take a good while to fully ”digest” this new knowledge. He was prepared to give the Mist a huge ”gift”, so it was important for him to familiarize himself with Ice Release even further.
”Ryo san, how to deal with the Yuki's Kekkei Genkai without Ice of our own?” Hiashi Hyuga saw Ryo remaining silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
Ryo's thoughts were interrupted, and he glanced at Hiashi with dissatisfaction.
”Ryo san, my brother was only frustrated nothing more. He didn't want to interrupt your thoughts.” Feeling that the mood was a bit cold, Hizashi immediately talked to justify his brother's actions.
”I'm not that bothered. You five don't have to stay in the battlefield. Just go to Konoha's camp and hunt down the remaining three Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.”
”The remaining three!? Ryo san, have you killed four of them?” Asked Hizashi with surprise.
”It wasn't me who killed them. It's Might Duy san!” Ryo explained to them, out of respect for this great man who burned himself for his convictions.
Ryo's words reminded them of the green jumpsuit-wearing Genin always shouting about youth. A man who had no skills outside of Taijutsu was actually hiding such powerful strength!
”I'll tell you all about it in detail after the battle. Now go to the camp and hunt them down as I said.”
”Yes Ryo san!”
The five Jonins went to the backline, and Ryo felt a lot safer about the situation there. Now, the next step for him is to end the battle.
When Ryo first saw the terrible situation in Konoha's camp, he had already planned to give the Mist a unforgettable lesson.
The Ice Jutsus Ryo had just learned gave him a new perspective on the use of his Ice release, and the Mist Ninjas on the battlefield were the perfect test subjects.
After entering Sage Mode, Ryo used telepathy to communicate with Konoha's Ninjas.
”Konoha's Ninjas, I'm the new chief commander of the Battle of the Wave Country. That toad on your side is my summoning. Now, this is my first order. I want you all to use your own ways to get the Mist Ninjas gathered in the center of the battlefield. I want to send them this great ”gift” to avenge our fallen brothers!”
Ryo's words were like a stone falling into a pond, getting all of Konoha's Ninjas excited. According to tradition, a chief commander of Konoha's troops is usually Kage tier. The arrival of a new one meant that the Kage tier powerhouse reinforcing their ranks had finally arrived.
They all proceeded immediately to carry out Ryo's order.
