Chapter 107 - 107 (2/2)

After they took a break, Ryo asked Kushina: ”Kushina ne-san, you can tell me now. How did you manage to escape from Konoha? And don't you fear that the 3rd might find out?”

”I made Kurama hide my Chakra, and then asked him to help me out making a long lasting Shadow Clone.”

”Sensei, why did you leave Konoha?” After Ryo, Kakashi had his own question.

”I don't know, boredom? I haven't left the village in a long time. And the last time Minato came to the village, he didn't even come to see me. I can only come see him myself.”

Hearing Kushina, Ryo sighed helplessly. It was impossible for them to quit this mission to get her back. And also, she was Kage tier, so she could hold her own.

”Alright! Ne-san, you'll have to stay. I'll help you with Minato Nii-san, but you must promise me to return to Konoha as soon as this mission ends.”

Hearing Ryo, Kushina got excited and immediately nodded in agreement.

Hearing Ryo's decision, Kakashi had nothing to say.

”In short, Kushina Ne-san is already here. We must now meet up with Minato Nii-san as soon as possible. We can't stay split up anymore.”

As soon as Ryo finished his words, the three heard a clear voice of a girl singing, coming out of ruins in the distance.

”Ryo, this song, should we go over and see?” Asked Kakashi.

The place from which the song was coming was one that's out of the reach of the Ryūmyaku. It was where Sara appeared in the Movie. Ryo decided to go there and see.

The three marched there together. The voice they were hearing was getting closer and closer.

They sneaked in directly from the bottom. Because they had hidden their Chakra, they weren't disrupted by the guards.

As they entered, they saw red hair girl singing under the sunlight coming from the ceiling.

”Ryo, she should be a Roran resident. Should we want to ask some questions?”

”Don't move in.  If we just run in like that, we'll scare her away.” Kakashi's proposal was denied by Ryo.

Ryo remembered that what was about to happen is Sara's meeting with the original protagonist himself: Naruto! It wouldn't be good for that to be ruined by Kakashi.

Sure enough, from within the ruins he rose. Golden spiky hair, blue eyes, 3 whisker marks on each cheek, a Konoha forehead protector… That teenage in orange sportswear was Naruto!

Just like what happened in the movie, Sara was shocked by Naruto's appearance, and ran to the exit, while Naruto followed.

As soon as he followed her and faced the gate, the puppets soldiers were there waiting and attacked him. He immediately retreated. The puppets followed, but they collapsed into pieces as they walked through the gate. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, but Sara was gone.

”If we run in like that, we'll scare her away.” Kushina witnessed the accuracy of Ryo's judgment.

”Ryo, this boy seems to be one of Konoha's Ninjas! He's wearing our forehead protector. Do you want to check what he's doing here?” After looking at Naruto's forehead protector, Kakashi proposed that.

”Don't, we don't know who he is… just… wait!” Ryo looked at Kushina, then refused Kakashi's proposal.
