Chapter 124 - 124 (1/2)
After Ryo's Ice Arrow flew over into the Cloud Village, it became an a_d_u_l_t fist-sized, glittering ice flower.
The Natural Energy that was compressed within it began to expand as the Ice Arrow turned into an Ice Flower.
The Ice Flower was getting bigger and bigger, and a Cloud's Sensor Ninja could clearly perceive the horrifying energy within the flower.
He ran to report, but he hadn't moved away a few steps before he noticed another arrow coming from behind. He looked back at the arrow, trying to confirm its source, and that allowed him to realize Ryo's position.
Ryo controlled the arrow's trajectory, and the Sensor Ninja's face changed greatly, and he wanted to dodge the arrow. Unfortunately for him, it took the Level of a Jonin to escape Ryo's arrow. His heart was pierced from behind and he died on the spot.
The reality was that the death of this Sensor Ninja was irrelevant to the success of Ryo's plan. He only killed them with another arrow to be on the cautious side.
As the Ice Flower bloomed, Ryo moved into the Cloud Village with Ice Teleportation.
At that time, with the large size that the Ice flower had reached, many Ninjas also noticed it.
Most of them just curiously stood watching Ice growing in mid air. As the Ice Flower grew to the size of a house, Ryo controlled it again from distance.
It burst into countless Ice Shards that went all over the Cloud Village.
Ryo used this rain of Ice Shards to teleport and jump back and forth all over the town. With his Ice Scalpel in hand, he madly harvested the souls of the Cloud Ninjas.
The Cloud Ninjas watched as their companions fell one after another, and they all panicked. They wanted to find the criminal, but all they saw was a blue spark teleporting between the countless shards.
They soon found that they couldn't catch that spark, and they panicked even more and fled.
Those who lost their fighting spirit were not followed by Ryo. His only enemies were the ones that resisted him.
”Demon! It's a demon!” After killing nearly 300 of them, even those who resisted at the start began to collapse.
On the end, only a Quasi Kage from the Cloud stayed behind.
Facing his last enemy, Ryo gave him all due respect. He stopped teleporting and stood before him.
Finally being able to see Ryo, the Quasi Kage did not hesitate and entered the Lightning Chakra Mode. He used the 3rd Raikage's strongest weapon, the Jigokuzuki.
The Jigokuzuki was a technique that the 3rd Raikage created basing off of the Lightning Chakra mode. It used 4, 3 or 1 finger, with its strength increasing as the number of fingers is reduced. Facing probable death, this Quasi Kage opted to go straight the one finger Jigokuzuki.
Ryo did not dodge. This man, who didn't care about his life and death to protect his village was worthy of utmost respect.
If he didn't stand in Ryo's way, he would have survived. But this man did not escape, guarding his village even after remaining on his own.
Ryo's right condensed a Rasengan, and then he infused it with Lightning Chakra, and collided with his foe's Jigokuzuki.
The outcome was expected. If it was the 3rd Raikage facing him, Ryo's Denjiki Rasengan would have probably lost. But this was just a Quasi Kage, and Ryo emerged as victor.
After defeating his enemy, Ryo gave a final glance at the enemy that he had respected, and then ran towards the center of the Cloud Village.
The Cloud village had close to a thousand Ninjas defending it, and about 500 of them were wiped out by Ryo. The others all escaped.
