Chapter 153 - 153 (1/2)
”So now, after taking what you wanted, you want to leave just like that?” A voice of a weather-stricken old man came from the Zutsu behind them.
Hearing that voice, and feeling the horrifying Chakra coming from the White Zutsu behind him, Ryo had no doubt that it was just a messenger for Madara.
Ryo looked gloomily at the white Zetsu in front of him. He could not understand how he felt such pressure from it. White Zetsus should be just at the level of Chunin.
However, this one made Ryo feel that he was at the presence of Madara himself.
”Who are you?” Ryo asked, pretending not to know.
”My identity shouldn't matter. What matters is that you have taken something that doesn't belong to you!” For a second, Ryo though he had seen a scarlet flash out of Zetsu's eyes.
For the 1st time, Ryo was so grateful for having the Sharingan. He didn't believe that he would able to see said flash without them.
When seeing those Red Eyes, Ryo realized that the pressure he felt should be the result of a Genjutsu, one that's used on him by Madara.
He formed his hand seals, and the Genjutsu was immediately lifted. While Madara's eyes did evolve into the Rinnegan, he now only had an ordinary three tomoe Sharingan. Ryo was able to successfully undue the Uchiha's Genjtsu.
After doing that, Ryo kept his distance from Zutsu. Observing him, he found that the being's power was indeed not superior to that of a Chunin, but with his Chakra close to that of a Jonin.
”Haha! Ryo… Yamanaka! I didn't think you'd actually be an Uchiha! Glad to see that the clan is still having such fine youth!” Madara sighed.
Facing Madara, lying would be futile. The moment Ryo used the Sharingan was the moment he doomed himself to be distinguished. So he didn't have to hide anything, and removed the contact lenses given to him by Fugaku.
”It was terrifying Genjutsu. if it wasn't for my Sharingan, I would still be under it.” Said Ryo.
”You're fascinating young man! If you survive facing the Water Country, I must see you later.” After saying that, the White Zutsu snuck into the ground.
Hearing Madara, Ryo had a horrible hunch, immediately trying to sense the Teleportation Barrier Mark left by him in the Wave Country. As he expected, it was without a trace.
Although the ones he placed in Konoha were should still be intact, Ryo couldn't fold space to that extent quite yet. He could just teleport from the Mist Village to Konoha.
”This is a big challenge this time!” Ryo grinned and put back his contact lenses on. In his mind, he went over his hidden cards, for today, he had to face the entire Mist Village!
Sure enough, as he was putting back his lenses, Yagura had already arrived, controlling the Sanbi, and leading a large group of Mist Ninjas to raid the hotel.
On the other Side, the Yuki clan were already dispatched, blocking the entire port and preventing Ryo from escaping.
Ryo was using Shi's camouflage technique to hide his Chakra. He was expecting to have more time. He never thought that Yamada would be a Zetsu in disguise.
Ryo had no way to hide from the Mizukage. Facing the Mist hunt, Ryo decided to trade his current playground with a larger one.
After Yagura and the Yuki Chief Elder surrounded Ryo with their men, the latter once again disappeared in front of their eyes.
This time, he went back to the location of a Scalpel he placed inside the village.
He found himself surrounded by dozens of Mist Ninjas. Looking at the Chunins and Jonins surrounding him, he immediately scattered a few Ice Scalpels around him and then entered the Ice-Lightning Chakra Mode.
A blue Lightning Bold bounced back and forth between the scalpels, and the Mist Ninjas were all too late to react.
After taking care of this obstacle, Ryo condensed an Ice Bow, and made an arrow in which Natural Energy gathered madly.
