Chapter 173 - 173 (1/2)

The next morning, Ryo, while holding Korin, used Teleportation Barrier to get from the Forest of Death to Orochimaru's lab.

There was no one there. Yugao had left a note saying that she and Anko went out on a task, so that Ryo would not worry.

Originally, Ryo wanted to get Yugao to meet Korin, but unfortunately didn't happen to catch up with her. He had to leave with Korin in his arms.

Korin was just born in the world. She was greatly curious about everything, remaining Ryo's arms, looking left and right all the time.

The villagers along Ryo's way saw him holding the cat, and men, women and children all envied him.

It was because Korin looked extremely cute. Her yellow and white Ragdoll Cat fur was stunning, and her sapphire-like eyes looked beautiful.

Everyone's envy made Ryo suddenly feel uncomfortable. He clung to Korin and used the Lightning Chakra Mode Flicker to disappear in plain sight.

Ryo's destination was Ichiraku Ramen. Because he was dealing with Korin, he remained in the Forest of Death for two days. Over the course of that period, he didn't get to eat anything.

Usually, Ryo wouldn't have problems standing such a situation. However, ever since he changed the genetic arrangement within his cells, his daily food intake was greatly increased. After all, his great vitality required a lot of energy to be maintained.

Ryo arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, put Korin down and couldn't wait to get three bowls of seafood ramen.

”Ryo, what is this?” While Ryo was eating, Korin smelled the scent of the ramen, and asked curiously.

”This is ramen. Do you want to eat?” While saying that, Ryo lifted some ramen with his chopsticks and gave it to Korin.

She sniffed the Ramen for a while before finally surrendering to the temptation and eating a whole lot of it.

”Ramen is delicious!” Korin immediately fell in love with the flavor!

Ryo quickly finished the three bowls, eating while feeding Korin.

From Ichiraku, Ryo entered Sage Mode, looking for Kushina's location.

At the time, she was practicing with Rin and Shisui.

After Obito's death, Rin's character changed drastically. Previously, Rin used to be mainly interested in Medical Ninjutsu. Now, she started paying attention to gaining more strength, so she was practicing with Kushina for a while.

Shisui who did not see Ryo for a long time, also could also follow Kushina around for practice.

”Hey! Hello everyone!” Ryo saluted the three.

”Ryo! Where have you been all this time? How long are you going to leave your apprentice to me? Aren't you going to take responsibility of his training?” Said Kushina was some anger.

”So sorry Ne-san, I had a lot to deal with lately!”

Kushina wasn't about to let him off the hook just because she knew he was honest. She kept scolding him indiscriminately.

”Ryo, what's that can in your arms?” Just as Ryo was getting verbally pummeled by Kushina, Rin realized his was holding Korin in his arms.

When Kushina heard Rin's words, she looked down, her eyes widened, and she immediately became attracted by Korin.

Same goes for Rin, and Even Shisui could help but get his eyes attracted to Korin from time to time.

”Ryo, give it to me! I want to give it a hug!” Kushina's mood became better just like that, and all her anger faded away.

After Ryo mentally sought Korin's consent, he handed her over to Kushina.
