Chapter 210 (1/2)
In the Hokage's office, a young man looking in his early twenties was fully anxious before the 3rd.
After he finished speaking, he took out a scroll and handed it over to the 3rd.
The latter's face was very gloomy when hearing the young man's description of the events. Then, when he opened the scroll, his face showed a bright smile.
Minato, who was also present, did smile as well when sneaking a glimpse of scroll.
”Hokage sama, we sincerely urge you, could you send someone to our village?” The young man asked anxiously.
The 3rd nodded and asked the Anbu Behind him: ”Anbu, go find me Orochimaru!”
”Wait a minutes!” After hearing the 3rd's choice, Minato frowned and quickly stopped the Anbu.
”What's wrong, Minato?” The 3rd asked.
”Hokage sama, I recommend that the other one goes this time!” Minato said while pointing at his eyes.
The 3rd immediately thought of Ryo gaining the Mangekyo, and immediately asked for him instead.
A few minutes later, Ryo was teleported to the 3rd's office. After glancing at the stressed out young man before him, he quietly established a telepathic link with Minato.
”Ni san, I just heard from the Anbu that the mission is linked to the Nanabi?” Minato heard Ryo in his mind.
”What is going on?”
”According to that young man, when the Waterfall Village were changing the Nanabi's Jinchuriki, they accidentally let the Biju escape. It's now hiding near the village, retaliating against it randomly for imprisoning him for so long.” Minato explained the situation simply.
Understanding the incident, Ryo guessed the 3rd's purpose.
Sure enough, the 3rd ordered him to help the village arrest the Nanabi, and eventually seal it.
What surprised Ryo was that his reward for the mission was frighteningly high!
He never thought that the 3rd, who had always been so 'economic' with his rewards, would give him so much for achieving the mission. This made Ryo far more eager to go!
”Minato Ni-san, what happened to that old man? Why is he offering so much money?” Ryo quickly asked Minato.
”Well, Ryo, your reward is only a small fraction of what he was promised to be paid by the Hidden Waterfall.”
”I should've guessed so! That old cheapskate would never change!” Ryo glanced at the 3rd with distain, and then left with the young man from the waterfall Village.
The young man did not dare to speak, and Ryo did not take the initiative. The two reached the 3rd training ground silently.
