Chapter 163 - 163 (2/2)

Although they had some disappointment, Ryo and Orochimaru were extremely satisfied with their results. They had managed to use scientific research to successfully find a way to reproduce Hashirama's vitality, without any side effect.

Ryo soon calmed down. Although their experiment was a success, it wasn't time to apply it yet.

First, he didn't have enough Chakra to support the transformation. And second, he hadn't opened his Mangekyo yet.

After the experiment was completed, Orochimaru started working on making an arm from the 1st's cells.

He used the original cell that Danzo had given him, which meant that he was going to produce the same arm he made in the Manga.

Ryo was far from being involved with this process. He finally got to leave the lab after a whole month.

He had to squint to adapt with the sunshine, for he had not seen it all that time.

He entered Sage Mode to locate people around. After confirming that Shisui and Kushina were in the 3rd training ground, he used the Teleportation Barrier to get there.

”Hey Kushina ne san, Shisui, how are you?”

”Well, we're all good!” Kushina was immune to the sudden appearance of Ryo and Minato, and casually answered Ryo.

”Hello sensei!” Shisui was as respectful as ever to Ryo.

”I haven't seen you for a while Shisui! You seem to have gotten stronger! You must've been working very hard recently!”

”No, it's all thanks to Kushina san! All this time she had been fighting against me, so my strength increased so fast!” Shisui was very grateful to Kushina.

”Don't mention it! You're Sensei wasn't here, so I should teach you! I'm you're Sensei's Sensei you know!” Kushina laughed out loud.

”By the way, where are Minato and Kakashi?” after the three spent a while chatting, Ryo remembered that he could not locate Minato or his team, and casually asked.

”Minato took them to do a task!” Kushina said with some envy.

Being the Kyubi's Jinchuriki, even though she was proficient at using most of its Biju's power, Kushina couldn't leave the village as she wanted. She knew that very well, and could only envy her boyfriend.

”What mission?” Ryo's heart dropped.

”I don't know the specifics. I just heard Minato talking about it.” Kushina said after some thought.

”Kushina ne san, has Kakashi been promoted to the rank of Jonin?”

”Ah yes! I gave him a Seal Scroll!”

Heating that, Ryo's doubts were confirmed. What Minato and his team were going to was the battle of Kannabi Bridge.

Ryo had no intention to change Obito's upcoming fate. He wanted him to awaken his Mangekyo with the help of Madara. But since he was too focused on research, he lost track of time and forgot about protecting Rin.

Ryo felt helpless. In order to ensure that his plans were to be foolproof, he decided to go to Kannabi Bridge.
