Chapter 120 - 120 (1/2)

Ryo stayed with the Akatsuki for three days, becoming very friendly with the trio over time.

During those days, Ryo kept reminding the Trio to be vigilant when dealing with Hanzo.

Spending time with them, Ryo felt that they were much nicer and more innocent than what they had turned into in the Manga, so he just kept reminding them.

Over the course of those three days, the Akatsuki started taking action as well. To Ryo's surprise, their wasn't really much difference in abilities between the Rain and the Aktsuki's regular Ninjas.

The Akatsuki was a secret organization that took action in the Dark; they never confronted the Rain Village face to face. However, they kept interfering with the execution of their assassination mission.

The Rain village's economy relied mainly on the rewards from assassination missions, and some of their secret Ninjutsu were very helpful with that.

With the Akatsuki's interference, the mission completion rate of the Rain Ninjas plummeted, and many employers started losing trust in the Rain Village.

Hanzo also was taking his own measures, but the Akatsuki were cautious, and were not being fooled by his traps.

With that, Hanzo had to give up on the idea of going to the Lightning Country's battlefield in order to focus on dealing with the local Akatsuki.

Ryo's task was successfully completed, and after bidding farewell to the Trio, he summoned Fukasaku and asked him to take him into the Lightning Country's battlefield via reverse summoning.

Ryo and Fukasaku had just appeared in Konoha's Lightning Country camp, when a silver falcon wrapped with lightning Chakra flew towards Ryo.

A falcon is really fast in the air, and the speed brought by the Lightning Chakra mode made it more like a thunderbolt.

Fukasaku was startled by the falcon's sudden appearance. Just as he was preparing to fight, he saw it landing on Ryo's shoulder.

”Hey! You're really mean; not taking me along when you go out to play!” Kogin left the Lightning Chakra mode and started complaining on Ryo's shoulder.

”Sorry, sorry, this time I forgot to bring you along!” Ryo tried to make Kogin feel better.

Fukasaku was looking at Kogin with surprise, as it was the 1st time he saw a summoned beast in the Lightning Chakra mode.

However, with careful observation, Fukasaku found that there was no summoning Blood Covenant tied to Kogin. In other words, the bird was qualified to become a summoned beast, but no one had any contract with her.

”Ryo Chan, why didn't you make a summoning contract with this bird? Do you worry that we at mount Myoboku won't agree?” Asked Fukasaku.

”It's not that Fukasaku sama. I found Kogin in the forest and brought her into the camp. Upon inspection, I found that she had Chakra in her body, and that she was smarter than usual. So I taught her talking and Ninjutsu with Kushina ne-san.” Ryo explained.

Fukasaku's face showed his surprise. Finding such a smart bird in the forest, and training it until they point making it fit to be a summoned beast, what kind of luck is this?

”Ryo Chan, you can make a summoning contract with young Kogin. With a summoning contract, you could summon her at any time.”

”Fukasaku san, can she sign such a contract with several people?” Asked Ryo.

Fukasaku went and observed Kogin, and then summoned Gerotora in. He inspected some worn scrolls that the latter gave him, and made Kogin spill a drop of blood upon one of them.
