Chapter 161 - 161 (1/2)

Ryo's world made the Uchiha's faces go heavy.

Here were five Quasi Kages, five elite Jonins, all with Three Tomoe Sharingan. Even the 3rd Hokage wouldn't look down on them like this.

Of course, Ryo was saying that to keep his momentum. Besides, anger often makes people lose their senses, which might prove beneficial for Ryo's sake.

”Stop with the puny tricks Ryo Yamanaka! And you guys calm down!” Katachi saw through Ryo's thoughts, and comforted the Uchiha elite besides him.

Ryo nodded, with some admiration to the clan's elder.

”Katachi Dono, as long as Ryo beats the ten of you, the clan won't be asking questions about his bloodline. Am I right?” Sakumo asked seriously.

”Of course. And there's no need for him to beat all ten of us. If Ryo Yamanaka beats 8 of us, we will not bother him.” Katachi said with confidence.

After agreeing on details, the battle between Ryo and the Uchiha began!

The 1st one to fight was an elite Jonin who remained silent as he moved forward. The two sides didn't exchange any words at all.

Usually against a Jonin, Ryo's use of the Ice Lightning Chakra mode is enough to end the battle in an instant. However, this Uchiha has the three tomoe Sharingan.

His eyes' dynamic vision was able to capture Ryo's movements, and he was able as a Jonin to keep up with him physically, and successfully fend off Ryo's 1st Ice Lightning Chakra Mode attack.

The Jonin obviously knew very well that he had no chance against Ryo. His mission was to make his opponent use up as much Chakra as possible. After blocking Ryo's 1st strike, he used his Sharingan to put Ryo under the effect of Genjutsu.

Facing this level of Genjutsu, Ryo didn't even have to rely on his Genjutsu, and he easily broke away from it.

From then, Ryo easily finished the 1st battle.

After having victory against the 7th opponent, Katachi himself walked forward.

This was a Ninja fit to become the Uchiha's clan head. Obviously, he had fought alongside Ryo on the Lightning Country's battlefield, and was still familiar with him.

He had said before, that as long as Ryo beats eight of them, the Uchiha would turn a blind eye to his bloodline.

Choosing to be the 8th opponent meant that he certainly had enough confidence to not only his capability to beat Ryo in this battle, but to also make him unable to win the following ones.

Ryo understood Katachi's thoughts pretty well. As the previous seven seemed to be just trying to exhaust Ryo, then Katachi must certainly have an ace up his sleeve.

Ryo hesitated for a while, and then chose to start out strong. He didn't know Katachi's hidden card, but he wasn't the type to back down knowing that.

His Ice Lightning Chakra Mode became far more furious as his Lightning Chakra became more violent. And then he threw an Ice Scalpel at Katachi, all while condensing a [Raiton: Rasengan]. If that would hit Katachi, it would be instantly Ryo's victory.

(Translator Note: My understanding is that this [Raiton: Rasengan] is to the Denjiki Rasengan what the [Futon: Rasengan] is to the Rasenshuriken.)

Knowing that Ryo would be using the ”Flying Thunder God”, Katachi evaded to right immediately after seeing the Ice Scalpel.

Seeing that another Scalpel was approaching him, Katachi was a little surprised, but did not panic.
