Chapter 107 - 107 (1/2)
The self-repair of the armored Puppet made Minato and Shibi sigh of frustration, as there wasn't a clear way to take out these puppets.
Ryo and Kakashi arrived to the desert outside Roran. There were dozens of armored Puppets surrounding a red hair girl.
”Kushina sensei! How is she here?” Kakashi immediately Recognized Kushina from her iconic hair.
”You ask me? How am I supposed to know?” Answered Ryo.
”You're right Ryo, this is indeed big trouble!”
”Great! Ryo, come help me get rid of these damn things!” Kushina also saw Ryo and Kakashi and called them for help.
When hearing Kushina's appeal, Ryo and Kakashi could only shake their heads helplessly and join the battle.
”Kushina Ne-san! What are you doing here?” Asked Ryo.
It was as if Kushina was ready to respond. She immediately said: ”It's a mission! The old man sent me here to help you complete the task.”
”So that's what it is! But, Kushina sensei, I remember Minato Sensei saying to us that this was a mission for only the four of us!”
”When a_d_u_l_ts talk, children should not interrupt!” Hearing Kakashi's words, Kushina hurried to shut him up.
”Alright! Kakashi, let's escape from this circle. These puppets are linked to the Ryūmyaku at the bottom of Roran. They can self-repair indefinitely. It's useless for us to fight!” Ryo quickly said what he knew from the movie.
”How do you know that?” Kakashi felt that Ryo's knowledge of the matter was bizarre.
”The Yamanaka clan has records about the Ryūmyaku, and the energy radiated from the tower is the same as the one I feel from these puppets, so I made that guess!”
Kakashi nodded, and stopped asking question. The three made their way out of the puppet circle, but they were still being chased.
Ryo said that these puppets can perceive Chakra, and are able in consequence to trace them. While both him and Kakashi could hide their Chakra, that solution wasn't going to cut it.
Suddenly, Ryo remembered how Naruto shared his Kyubi Chakra with Ninja alliance.
”Kushina Ne-san, can you connect me to your Kyubi Chakra?”
”Why?” Asked Kushina in confusion.
”These puppets can follow us by following the Chakra in out bodies. I have secret Camouflage Jutsu that can hide one's Chakra. If you connect me to your Kyubi Chakra, my technique should also work on you!”
”Alright, that shouldn't be much of a problem. And Kurama actually can hide his own Chakra!”
After saying that, Kushina gave Ryo some of the Kyubi's Chakra with Kurama's help. Ryo then proceeded to hiding the two of them, and it was done with success.
”Kakashi, use the Camouflage Jutsu!” Shouted Ryo to Kakashi.
With that, all three had their Chakra hidden, and the armored Puppets did not sense them anymore, and stopped their pursuit.
The three took the opportunity to retreat to a safe place away from their pursuers.
