Chapter 196 - 196 (2/2)
Kenichi looked at the two of them as they stared at each other awkwardly, and dared not say a word.
The three didn't remain that way for long, and they soon rushed to where Kenichi found Korin.
When on the way, Minato was worried. He deliberately slowed down and tried to ask Kushina about the matter.
”Kushina, wdo you know anything?” he asked.
She did not answer. On one hand, Ryo never allowed her to talk about Korin's situation, and on the other, she just couldn't lie to Minato. Her only option was silence.
Minato could see that Kushina was torn. Since he didn't want to embarrass her, he did not ask further questions.
The three continued their path. Finally, a few minutes later, they were stopped by Kenichi who pointed into the woods and said: ”Minato sama, the Biju-like creature was there!”
Minato immediately flickered in swiftly with the Hyuga Ninja. He quietly observed the surrounding woods and found the traces of a massive creature. From the damage that the woods received just by the creatures presence, he estimated that it should be the size of a Biju.
Kushina followed Minato, and Kurama perceived Korin's Chakra.
”It seems that the kid's Biju has has something good lately. Her Chakra is so much stronger than before!” Kurama said to Kushina.
”Well, Ryo did kill the Rokubi's Jinchuriki. Perhaps it's the Rokubi's Chakra?” Kushina said after some thought.
”Not just that. She had Yang Chakra now. I guess the kid actually had even got the Hachibi's Chakra!”
”No! That's impossible! The Hachibi is in the Cloud Village now! How would Ryo be able to do that?” Kushina was in disbelief.
”Who know? All I can say, the kid's Biju has so much Yang Chakra that I'm sure she had access to the Gobi's Chakra.”
As Kurama and Kushina were talking, Minato also noticed this Chakra. As he was about to collect the traces he found, a Thunderbolt Flickered before his eyes.
Kenichi's expression became stiff in an instant, and his eyes turned hollow. At the same time, Minato's Kunai touched the figure's throat.
However, what surprised Minato was that the figure still had no reaction, even with Minato's Kunai seemingly going through the skin!
”Ni-san, how cruel! Going straight for the kill?” Moved back Ryo left his Ice Lightning Chakra Mode.
Minato, finding out it was Ryo, became even more concerned: ”Ryo, are you okay?”
”I'm fine I'm fine! Here!” Ryo raised his head, exposing his unscathed neck.
After confirming that Ryo was okay, Minato pointed at Kenichi and asked with dull look: ”Ryo, what's going on?”
”I used Genjutsu on him. I have things I want to tell you, and I don't want him to hear them. Let go to Ne san's side now!”
Minato had his doubts, but didn't question much, teleporting with Ryo to Kushina.
”Ni-san, what I am about to tell you is my biggest secret. Please be sure to keep it between us!” Ryo raised his arms with Korin in them in her ragdoll cat form.
