Chapter 249 - 249 (2/2)
Ryo looked at Kurama, who didn't seem to mind this idea, so he entered Sage Mod, and went on hunting.
After a good while, Ryo was only able to find one of the lurking white Zetsu. He quickly rushed to him, and then teleported back to Korin and the Kyubi.
”Kurama, do you need me to make a seal on this Zetsu? Or could your soul occupy it like a soul would occupy a human body?”
”No need! Without a soul in this body, I can easily take over it!”
After Kurama finished his words, he immediately left Minato's body to the white corpse of Zetsu.
After, Kurama said: ”It's not bad! The cells here remind me of those of the 1st Hokage. However, it's limiting my strength, and now I could only fight at the Yonbi's power, at most!”
”Take your time to adapt. Now, we should go!” After saying that, Ryo picked up Minato's body, and teleported with Kurama back to Kushina's place.
The Kyubi hesitated for a long time at Kushina's door, before finally gathered enough courage to push the door in.
When Kushina learned that this red-haired middle aged man was Kurama, she was actually very happy, not even hinting at blaming him.
Kurama could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he and Kushina's small Kyubi, and the half seaked within Naruto all got in touch.
After learning about Kurama's intentions, the two other Kyubi's expressed their support.
With everyone reaching a consensus, the only problem was the identity of Kurama in the world. However, that wasn't something to worry about for now.
Konoha had just lost their Hokage, and they had no time to control the foreigners in the village.
Therefore, Ryo immediately rushed to Sakumo and Sasori.
The 3rd did not hesitate, immediately waving his staff at the one who brought them sorrow on this night. His gaze was like that of a demon, but to his surprise, the staff when right through Obito!
The 3rd was immediately stunned, and Obito ignored the group surrounding him, walking to Kakuzu and Sasori and preparing to leave with the two.
Ryo had no idea about what happened to his old friend, but now was a great opportunity to get rid of Kakuzu and Sasori, and he wasn't going to let it go. (I like how Ryo finally didn't care about losing his precious original plot members. Perhaps losing those dear to him could really change his attitude.)
He Lightning Chakra flickered to Obito in an instant, who had his body in this world as he reached out to touch his two subordinates.
Ryo's movement was too fast, and by the time his hit landed, he couldn't even use Kamui.
It was clearly planned by Ryo. Inspired by Minato's performance, he went in and caught him off guard.
Obito took a great direct hit, getting directly pushed far away by Ryo.
Just as Ryo was about to finish Kakuzu and Sasori on the ground, a white Zetsu suddenly popped out underneath him, grabbing his legs and dragging them back.
With no time for such nonsense, Ryo did not even turn at White Zetsu, just releasing his Lightning Chakra and turning him into ashes.
With no one to stop him this time, he slit Sasori's throat directly with an Ice Scalpel, and pierced Kakuzu's heart with another.
Only one of Kakuzu's hearts remained, and Ryo was about to pierce it, when the 'dead' Sasori moved all of a sudden. He shook in place, and his opened throat released a poisonous gas that clouded the area.
Ryo was taken by surprise, for he did not expect that Sasori did more of transforming himself in such a last time. The last time they saw each other, he was practically a full human being with just some prosthetic.
The toxin made Ryo's feel somewhat weak on his legs. He felt drowsy and suffocated, and could only jump away to attack again. However, this was all that Obito needed to jump to the two inside the fog, and disappear from the area with them.
