Chapter 239 - 239 (1/2)

The purpose behind Ryo's trip to the Cloud Village was very simply collecting the Nibi's Chakra.

He had already collected the Nanabi's Chakra in the Waterfall Village, but since Korin's body only lacked Yin Chakra now, Ryo speculated that it wasn't going receive much change upon receiving Chomei's Chakra.

Therefore, Ryo planned to collect the Nibi's Chakra whenever he had a window to do so.

Of course, he was in no hurry; the Nibi was in the Cloud Village after all. After the 3rd Shinobi World War, the Cloud Village emerged as the village with the least losses after Konoha. Even after losing the 3rd Raikage, they still had his son A, Killer B, and Yugito Nii.

Killer B in particular was very special; he had mastered the use of his Biju's powers beyond any other Jinchuriki at the time. Even if Ryo and Korin were to face him together, they would not be able to do much, let alone if A and Yugito Nii were to join him.

Using Ice Teleport and the Ice Lightning Chakra Flicker, Ryo reached the Cloud Village very quickly.

Before he entered, he disguised himself as a normal civilian with the transformation Jutsu, and hid his Chakra so he couldn't be detected.

This was the first step in Ryo's plan to get to Yugito Nii without having to face the entirety of the Hidden Cloud.

”Instead of digging behind the Rabbit through its nest, wait for it to get to you.” Yugito Nii was, above all, a Hidden Cloud Ninja. She was bound to perform various tasks. Ryo's safest bet was to actually leave leave the Lightning Country and wait for her to fall in lap.

However, such a plan would not work without precise intelligence on her location and targets. Ryo picked the guise of a civilian, for that was the optimal way to get a Ninja to drop their guard. After all, there is no reason to think that a civilian could ever be a threat to Ninja.

With his ability to hide his Chakra, Ryo created a powerful illusion of vulnerability around himself. This was to allow him to approach Ninjas, and then use his powerful Genjutsu to get information out of them on Yugito Nii's next mission.

In this way, as he used his Chakra Hiding technique, Ryo managed to fool the Sensor Ninjas and the borders, and he successfully got into the village.

His next step was to find someone who would know of Yugito Nii's next mission. Someone of her caliber shouldn't be performing missions that are beneath A-Tier. For someone to have information on such a task, they need to be at least Elite Jonins.

As he roamed the village, Ryo was looking for someone of that caliber. Sure enough, after a 10 minutes search, he stumbled upon Dodai!

Ryo remembered that Dodai was part of the Division that had to face the revived 3rd Raikage during the 4th Shinobi World War along with Naruto and the others. He was also shown to be the auditor of the B candidates through the Double Lariat test.

Ryo's eyes shined, for this was the perfect target. He went into action by walking by Dodai's side, brushing into him ever so subtly while planting a very small ice flower to his coat.

Ryo then found himself a hotel to stay in, and at night, he teleported to Dodai's side through the Ice flower.

His move was too sudden, and Dodai immediately fell to his Genjutsu.

Ryo first stopped Dodai from moving, and began to read his memory with his clan's secret techniques.

By doing so, Ryo learned that the Raikage still practices the Double Lariat every single day, in the same location where the test for B was held. He thought about this, and decided to seize this opportunity.
