Chapter 147 - 147 (1/2)

A few days later, Konoha's Ninjas returned and the whole village was boiling. The villagers were shouting the names of their new heroes.

The most prominent names were those of Minato and Orochimaru. Under unintentional propaganda, the two men's reputation was right behind that of the 3rd.

The 3rd however was very happy to see this. One of the two was his direct apprentice, and the other was a second generation disciple as well as well.

He deemed them as worthy inheritors of the will of fire, and it seemed to him that handing over his position of Hokage to either of them was fitting at that moment.

Like the hero welcoming spectacles, the 3rd said a few words and then asked the public to let the Ninjas go home.

When Ryo returned home, he found that Chinse was a little surprised. Her son had been out of the village for only half a month.

Nevertheless, she was extremely happy to see her son, and cooked him all sorts of delicious food.

Ryo, Chinse, and Shi started eating, and he told them that the Sand had surrendered, and promised to return Shi to her village rather soon.

After eating, Ryo went to find Yugao, but learned from Anko that she was put on mission to hunt down thieves by Orochimaru, and had just set off.

Ryo was helpless, he could only go to the Uchiha and look for Shisui.

When Ryo went there however, he wasn't questioned. He just left his name, got a pass and went into the district.

The Uchiha's district was remote, but their area was quite large, just like a small town.

Ryo had no idea where Shisui was, but he remembered his Chakra. So, he entered Sage Mode, and located him immediately.

While in the district, Ryo couldn't just flicker as he wanted, so he walked slowly while perceiving his apprentice's location.

Shisui was a remote place, and Ryo walked for a long time before finding himself at the edge of a forest.

After confirming that no one was around, Ryo entered the Ice Lightning Chakra Mode and quickly flicker to where Shisui was.

He found him practicing in the forest. This last battle had left quite the impact on him. The people he was just talking to and laughing with turned into corpses in the blink of an eye. The impact of that shocked him into awakening his Sharingan.

After watching him practice for a little while, Ryo decided to test Shisui progress. He separated a Shadow Clone with one tenth of his own power, and sent him in.

Ryo's own strength, without the use of Sage Mode or the Ice-Lightning Chakra mode was only at the level of Quasi Kage.

On top of that, Ryo's ordinary Shadow Clones could not enter Ice Elementization, and were thus unable to Ice Ninjutsu. That, coupled with the Clone's Chakra made it at the level of regular Jonin.

Shisui was still very vigilant even this long after the war. At the moment that the Clone approached with the Lightning Chakra Flickered, he detected him, but didn't react.

The Clone was a bit surprised. He realized that Shisui found him, so why didn't he hide?

The clone flickered in, and while he wasn't in the Ice Lightning Chakra mode, he was very fast. He reached Shisui in an instant, stabbing him directly with a Kunai.

The still Shisui turned in a crow.

”A crow? Haha, it seems like Shisui had already gained a lot in this battle.” Ryo remembered the strange crow from the Manga and laughed.

The clone was also shocked by this tactic. He wanted to flicker away, but Shisui didn't gave him an opportunity. He flickered to where his was at, and instantly slashed him in half.
