Chapter 226 - 226 (2/2)

Upon hearing those words, all the Root Ninjas carried each other with difficulty, leaving the Rain Country.

Ryo took Yahiko's body, and returned to Nagato and Konan.

The latter's eyes were full of tears, while Nagato was also mourning silently.

”Hey… I'm sorry to interrupt you, but Yahiko isn't exactly dead. What I mean is, I might be able to save him now!”

Hearing that, Nagato collapsed to his knees in place. After taking a second to breath, he excitedly asked: ”Ryo… you really could do that?”

”Well, there is still a chance, take me to a dry place right away.”

Nagato and Konan looked at each other and immediately nodded, taking Ryo to the nearest Akatsuki stronghold. Right there, Ryo immediately began trying to rescue Yahiko.

Yahiko had a Kunai go through one of his lungs. While that was not that lethal by itself, he had lost too much blood in result. Therefore, his vital were extremely weak.

In fact, they were so weak that Ryo only noticed his survival when entering Sage Mode against Hanzo.

With his body being so weak, the Mystical Palm technique was doing nothing to save Yahiko. Seeing that he was about to die, Korin let her Yang Chakra flow through Ryo's hands to his body.

”Korin, you…”

Korin interrupted Ryo and said: ”You listen to me Ryo! This Chakra could only serve to delay this man's death. I'm doing this just to give you a window to bring his soul back into your Ice World.”

”My Ice World? What would that do?” Ryo asked.

”Aren't you working on cloning techniques with Orochimaru? When you two reach success, you could use it to make a body for the perfectly preserved soul of Yahiko! If you do so, couldn't you resurrect him?”

Korin's suggestion made Ryo's eyes shine; this was indeed a genius idea, and the only thing that he could do right now!

Thinking of this, Ryo opened his Mangekyo, and then opened Yahiko's eyes to pull his soul into the Ice World.

With his body seriously injured, Yahiko's soul was heavily damaged as well, and Ryo sat down and began using his Spiritual Power to help repair it.

Outside, Nagato and Konan were waiting anxiously. The later was just too concerned to not ask: ”Nagato, do you think Ryo could actually save Yahiko?”

”Konan, I can no longer feel Yahiko's breathing and heartbeat…. Did he just….”

Looking at Nagato's face, Konan drowned in despair, and started weeping once again.

A few minutes later, Ryo left the room, looking a little tired, but having a big smile!

Seeing him, Konan and Nagato were surprised! Nagato asked in disbelief: ”Ryo, you saved Yahiko?”

Ryo's nodded and shook his head awkwardly. Words were not going to cut it, so he just pulled Konan and Nagato's souls into the Ice World!
