Chapter 211 - 211 (1/2)
After talking to the leader of the village, Ryo began his mission!
The rest were too weak to help him at all, so the mission wasn't really helping the village; catching the Nanabi was really just his task.
”Shisui, you and the Ninjas of the Village wait for me, and I'll find the Nanabi and then pick you up.”
Shisui wasn't really going to help either. Ryo's purpose behind bringing him was really just giving him more experience, and letting him know how powerful the Biju are.
But this time, the ever-obedient Shisui stubbornly shook his head: ”Sensei, take me! I can help you look for the Nanabi!” As he finished his words, he activated his Sharingan, and two tomoe appeared in his pupils.
Ryo was curious, for he had no idea when Shisui would activate his 3 tomoe Sharingan. Looking to the anticipation in his apprentice's eyes, he helplessly sighed, and took him along. The mentor and disciple left the village together.
The two reached a hill not too far from the village. Seeing Ryo stop, Shisui immediately began to look around vigilantly, trying to detect Chakra.
”Shisui, stop. Don't be too nervous; the Nanabi isn't here.” Ryo smiled.
”Then why did we come here Sensei?” Shisui was surprised.
Ryo did not explain, and just started setting up a Teleportation Barrier Mark on this hill.
Ten minutes later, Ryo was through and said to Shisui: ”Let's go! Let's go back to the village, and call out the Nanabi!”
”Sensei, you're saying that the Nanabi is in the village?” Shisui was shocked by the news; he did not expect the Biju would actually be hiding under everyone's nose.
”Right when entered the village, I used Sage Mode to gauge everyone's power; and I found that the Nanabi was underground!”
”Wait, isn't the Nanabi a flying Biju? Are you sure you're not wrong Sensei?”
”The Nanabi's body is akin to that of a insect. Insect live in two stages: Larvae and A_d_u_l_t form. The Nanabi can revert to that Larval state and hide underground. Besides, in this village, the Nanabi's Chakra shines like bright light in the night; how can I be wrong?”
”The Nanabi is so strong?” How does it compare Ni-san's Kyubi?” Shisui asked.
”The Nanabi has a great amount of Chakra. A Biju's Chakra is proportionate to the number of their tails. Therefore, the Nanabi's Chakra stores are the 3rd highest among all Biju.”
”So the more tails a Biju has the stronger it is?”
”Of course not! Just like with us humans, higher Chakra is not the sole factor in defining a Biju's strength.”
”So, Sensei, in your opinion, how should the Biju be ranked in strength?”
”The Strongest is the Kyubi, as its superior in every way. Following him, there's the Hachibi, then the Yonbi, the Rokubi, the Nanabi, the Nibi, the Gobi, the Sanbi and then the Ichibi.” Ryo ranked the Biju to Shisui.
Hearing Ryo, Shisui bowed down thinking, and Ryo patted his shoulder saying: ”We're not here to rank this Biju, we're here to catch it! Let's go!”
Knowing that the task is above all, Shisui nodded and set off with Ryo.
In no time, the two reached the village.
The leader of the village felt it was strange that they returned so quickly. He was more surprised when Ryo asked him to ”Arrange for the civilian's and Ninjas in the village to evacuate as quickly as possible.”
