Chapter 136 - 136 (2/2)

For her future team, Ryo had decided who she would go with. The 3rd had already promised not to interfere. As soon as the exam was finished, Anko came to take Yugao along with her.

Yes, the Sensei that Ryo picked for Yugao was Orochimaru.

One could say all he wants on Orochimaru, but in fighting experience, he was second to none in the village.

Another thing was that Ryo had been overprotective of Yugao whenever he trained her. She needed to learn about the cruelty of this world, and Orochimaru was perfect for that.

In the Manga, Sasuke was Orochimaru's apprentice for two years. His power increased immensely, and was even able to take down Deidara.

Taking in a top tier genin, and getting him to Jonin tier and beyond, making him a fully fledged Quasi Kage in two years, proves Orochimaru's great capability as a teacher.

After Yugao left with Anko, Ryo returned to the 3rd Training Ground with Shisui. While his girl was important, he had to focus on his apprentice, who was also greatly important to him. He decided to teach him something new.

Shisui had great talent for Wind and Fire release, suiting his status as an Uchiha. However, his talent with Lightning was nothing out of the ordinary.

However, Ryo was planning to teach him the Lightning Chakra Mode today. As Ryo's apprentice, how could he not have that technique in his arsenal?

Ryo started with the very basics. Yes, being a Speed-type Ninja should fit Shisui the best. However, speed on its own is not enough.

Ryo, with his Ice affinity, can make devastating attacks, which when paired with his regular Ninjutsu and speed, could prove to be very powerful. Shisui, on the other hand, had no Ice Affinity.

Therefore, Ryo wanted him to use the Lightning Chakra mode for the sake of strengthening his Taijutsu and enhancing his attack power.

Shisui's talent with Lightning Release was incomparable to his talent with the Body Flicker. After three whole days, he barely started to grasp infusing his cells with Lightning Chakra.

Ryo felt somewhat helpless, but Shisui kept on working hard.

On Yugao's side, being taught for three days by Orochimaru had a great impact on her: Orochimaru's method was simply getting het to face Anko.

After learning Sage Mode, Anko could actually compete with a Quasi Kage. Of course, even when not in Sage Mode, she was at the level of a Jonin. Yugao was no opponent to her by any means.

Ororchimaru never taught Anko anything such as mercy, so Yugao was being pummeled down by her for three days straight.

Ryo secretly sneaked on them, and saw Yugao being hurt. While it was very distressing for him, he could clearly see Yugao's growth in her eyes.

Before, Yugao's eyes were always faint, and she always seemed absent-minded. Now, she was serious about facing Anko as she had never been before.

Yugao had grown up; that's what Ryo wanted. Even though he felt like objecting to Orochimaru's methods, he did not interfere.

Ryo knew that he could not be omnipotent. He could only hope that Yugao would become strong enough to protect herself in his absence.

This world he's in is full of hazards, and one must be capable of holding his own to survive.
