Chapter 214 - 214 (2/2)

Minato nodded firmly: ”Hokage sama, sacrificing Rin would be too unfair to her.”

The 3rd said nothing, just showing a smile of satisfaction.

In fact, he himself did not want to agree, but the higher-ups of the Fire Country were putting too much pressure on him. The 3rd then had to cooperate with them on the matter, and used that as pretext to give the governing of the village to Minato. This way, he actually thought he would give him the most optimal position to interfere.

However, after many days of being in the position, Minato did nothing. Therefore, the 3rd feared that he might have given up, and was rather disappointed; he never thought that he was just waiting for Ryo! (T/N: Poor Hiruzen; always misjudged!)

After leaving the office, Ryo left immediately to Ryo's place.

Sure enough, like Ryo warned, Rin's place had three quasi kages and 7 Jonins surrounding it. They all thought they were hiding in secrecy, but Ryo had long been aware of their position.

His Ice-Lightning Chakra Mode broke out, and like a lightning bolt, he rushed into her place.

Before the 10 Ninjas had any time to react, the thunderbolt that had passed before their eyes disappeared again, along with Rin who was inside on her sofa.

”Ryo, you are finally here!” Rin said excitedly to Ryo.

For the past few days, she had been monitored by Root, and therefore was very anxious. With Ryo there she could finally relax.

”We have no time to waste Rin, we must immediately find Tsunade sama. Minato Ni-san said that she's the only who could help you. Otherwise, if you just leave after the marriage is officially arranged, you'll become a rogue Ninja!”

Rin did not want to have to leave the village, and said anxiously: ”Then, let's go Ryo!”

Ryo nodded, and the two disappeared outside the village.

At the same time, in Root's headquarter, Danzo looked at the 10 Ninjas and said: ”You good-for-nothings!  You can't even guard a single person!”

They all muttered random words, of which one was clear to his ears: ”Ryo Yamanaka! That brat is getting more and more presumptuous! He's disregarding Konoha's interests for him own damn whims!”

”What's more problematic is that this marriage was never announced officially. So, technically, we have no legitimate reason to sanction him.” added Homura, who was in the office.

”The only way we have no is to tell the various families of Konoha about this, getting them to pressure the Ino-Shika-Cho to take the initiative to surrender Ryo.” Danzo said.

”Indeed, that's all we could do!” Homura nodded in agreement.

Indeed, all the heads of clan received news of Ryo taking away the one who's supposed to marry the Daimyo's son, within minutes of their agreement.

This marriage was to be very beneficial to all of Konoha, so Ryo's behavior actually harmed many people interests.
