Chapter 111 - 111 (2/2)
The white light on Naruto was getting brighter, and he realized he was about to leave. He couldn't help but say something to Minato, but the latter interrupted him.
”It is my pride to have a son like you. We will have a chance to talk in the future. See you again!” With his voice falling, Naruto and Yamato vanished.
(Author Note: I did not focus on Sara's emotional interaction with the characters, as these events are mainly a preparation for what's about to come.)
After Naruto and Yamato disappeared, the rest of them looked around puzzled, not knowing what was just happening. Minato sealed off all their memories of what happened in Roran, and all they remembered was entering the city.
Kushina forgot everything leading to the incident, and looked up awkwardly.
”Minato, Ryo, Ryo Kakashi, what are you doing here?”
”Kushina, what are you doing here?!” Minato was shocked by her presence.
She repeated the same explanation, and her promise to Ryo of returning to the village was obviously forgotten.
Under the blend of Kushina's love and wrath, Minato could only agree to take her along with him to the Lightning Country battlefield, and at the same time, he decided to go the Konoha, in order to report to the Hokage.
After looking around, Ryo saw Minato's seal, and immediately understood where he was.
Minato also understood after seeing the seal that the task should be done with, and understood that memories involving any details about it were completely sealed.
After Minato explained the situation, he apologized to everyone for sealing their memories. Of course, with none of them recalling anything, they had no complaints.
With this, Roran's mission ended, and Minato sneaked out with his squad and returned to Konoha's camp with Flying Thunder God.
No one noticed that Ryo had left a Shadow Clone behind.
The purpose of him doing that was to check out the Ryumyaku's power. Soon after being sealed, Ryo sensed that the Ryumyaku still had some of its power still within some of the puppets outside.
He didn't want anyone to know, so he secretly left his clone behind.
When perceiving the Ryumyaku's power previously, Ryo noticed that it had a special Chakra. While it was part Natural Energy, it was mainly closer to regular Chakra. Still, it was somewhat similar to Senjutsu Chakra.
Anrukuzan, previously named Mukade, used this power to achieve a quick self-repairing effect. Ryo wanted to know whether Anrukuzan's method caused those effect, or the whether the Ryumyaku itself had those properties.
The clone had half of Ryo's Chakra. Ryo's idea was trying to collect this energy from the puppets. If all goes smoothly, the Clone could just travel to the Lightning Country. Otherwise, it would just go to Sakumo's camp, as it was the closest to Roran.
Things went unexpectedly smooth. With Anrukuzan's death, the puppets were inanimate.
It was easy for Ryo's clone to collect the Ryumyaku's energy from the puppets and seal it within a scroll, and then go directly to the Lightning Country camp.
After Minato returned to the camp, he asked Ryo arrange a residence for Kushina, while he used Flying Thunder God to go to Konoha and report to the 3rd.
