Chapter 239 - 239 (2/2)

Based on the memories he had already invaded, Ryo made Dodai act and talk as normally as possible. Therefore, A had no doubts.

After the training ended, Ryo got Dodai to chat with A normally. To not provoke the Raikage suspicions, he made sure to randomly ramble on as if nothing important was happing.

As the conversation went on, Yugito Nii was mentioned unintentionally, and Ryo took this opportunity asking: ”Speaking of her, where did she go recently? I haven't seen her in a while, Raikage sama.”

”She… went to escort a caravan to the Land of Rice Fields. Given how much time she had taken to get there, she should be on her way back now. Well, I'm going now, I'll see you at the office, Dodai!” After saying that, A turned around and left. (The Land of Rice Fields is the country that is to become the Sound Country, and the place where Orochimaru established the Hidden Sound.)

Ryo controlled Dodai to return home, and then using his Mangekyo Sharingan to fortify his Genjutsu, he convinced Dodai that all that happened was a normal conversation with the third.

Later on, Ryo controlled Dodai to get back to the test field for the Double Lariat. As the Genjutsu was lifted, Dodai felt nothing wrong besides some dizziness that made him very uncomfortable.

After taking a seat and resting for a while, the dizziness disappeared, and Dodai got back to his daily peacetime schedule.

As for Ryo, he immediately teleported to a teleportation barrier Mark he had left on the Lightning Country's borders. Then, he rushed towards the Land of Rice Fields; catching Yugito Nii on her way back from a mission was a rare opportunity that's not to be missed.

Ryo had to intercept her as quickly as possible, for the further she is from the Lightning Country, the better. He wouldn't want the Hidden Cloud to receive news of his ”raid” too soon.

After a decent distance, the sky gradually began to grow dim. With her task finished, Yugito was not in a hurry. She ordered her team to stop moving forward and to set a camp to stay for the night.

As the team lied down in the camp, a thunderbolt suddenly cut through the night and landed before them.

Ryo saw Yugito Nii and instantly recognized her, and so did she, for this was an old opponent.

Ryo was far beyond her in power, and more comparable to the 4th Raikage. Her along with the Nibi were no opponents of his.

At this thought, she became rather fl_u_s_tered, and then carefully asked: ”Ryo Yamanaka, what brings you here?”

Yamanaka smiled and replied: ”I came to borrow something from you.”

”And what is that?”

”The Nibi's chakra!”

Immediately upon hearing Ryo's words, Yugito Ni entered the Tailed Coat Mode.

”Oh, it looks like you're not just going to give it to me? Then I will have to take it myself!”
