Chapter 102 - 102 (2/2)

On that day, Ryo was supposed to meet Shikaku Nara who had been taking care of the camp management for a long time. However, as soon as Shikaku sat down, Ryo disappeared into a cloud of white smoke.

Shikaku Nara had been thinking for a long time that Ryo was being lazy and ditching his responsibilities.

And this incident wasn't the 1st one, Ryo's had long been eccentric.

However, it didn't take Ryo long to come back. He had been brought via Reverse Summoning to Mount Myoboku by Fukasaku, who went on and returned to the camp along with him and Jiraya via reverse summoning once again.

It actually took Shikaku a while to wrap his mind around what happened, as he looked at the three in shock.

”Jiraya Chan, Ryo Chan, I'll go back to Mount Myoboku. Ma is waiting for me to have breakfast.”

”Okay, sorry for the trouble boss.”

”Goodbye Fukasaku Sama”

After Fukasaku left, Ryo directly asked Jiraya: ”Jiraya san, what brings you to the Wave Country? And why are you in such a hurry that you resorted to Reverse Summoning?”

”Well, Sarutobi Sensei asked me to help you deal with the 3rd Mizukage, so that you could then go to the Lightning Country and join forces with Minato to deal with the 3rd Raikage.”

”The 3rd Raikage himself joined the battle?!” Ryo was so surprised that he had to ask.

”Well, his son and the Hachibi Jinchuriki lost to Minato, so he decided to go to the battlefield himself.” Jiraya explained.

Ryo recalled the scene from the Anime, where Minato faced the man to be 4th Raikage along with his brother.

He relied on his speed and actually managed to beat A, and during the battle, he left a Flying Thunder God Seal on B. During the second round of attack, he managed to teleport behind the Hachibi Jinchuriki and placed a blade near his neck, while the latter managed also to quickly point his blade at Minato's abdomen.

In the end, neither side wanted to make a sacrifice.

”Hey kid, you're being rude here! I'm talking and you're already distracted.” Said Jiraya helplessly as he saw the wandering look on Ryo's face.

”Sorry, sorry… I remembered a few things about Minato nii-san.” Ryo was embarrassed and scratched his head.

”Alright. Now kid, have other questions?” Jiraya got used to Ryo wandering away, so he didn't bother asking him about those memories.

”Yes, I do Jiraya san. Is it really okay for you to leave the Wind Country battlefield?”

”Not long ago, our forces and the Rock Ninjas attacked the Sand at the same time. In result, Rasa and Chiyo were seriously injured, and the rest of their ranks suffered really heavy losses. There won't be anything big happening at their side any time soon.”

”So, why don't you just go support Minato Nii-san directly?”

”It's because of the Lightning Chakra Mode of the 3rd Raikage. You also have that technique, so you know how much defense it can grant. The 3rd Raikage is also extremely fast. This isn't really my type of match-up.”

Ryo nodded, and said he was right. Indeed, in this situation, sending Ryo is the best choice.

”Well kid, tell me whatever you've gathered on the 3rd Mizukage. Their secrecy is too tight for me to know something of value.”

Ryo explained to Jiraya all he knew through his long experience fighting the 3rd Mizukage, and gave him a detailed explanation about his powers and fighting style.

So with that being done, the two worked out a plan to apply tomorrow, in order to take care of the 3rd Mizukage once and for all.
