Chapter 256 - 256 (1/2)
The moment that Shisui pulled out his blade, his whole temperament underwent a great change. His mere presence felt dangerous, as if dealing with him was like messing with a sharp blade.
Ryo could sense the Chakra of the people around his apprentice. There were over 30 of them, most being Chunin, with 2 Jonin being in the lead.
With Shisui being surrounded for quite some time now, he had probably gauged their power well enough as well.
Initially, he was worried that his companions would not escape, but Ryo's arrival comforted him.
Shisui knew his Sensei's character. While he would not hesitate to take life, he would not just watch the innocent die without interfering. With his companions being safe, Shisui could finally attack at ease.
Suddenly, his figure became blurred, and then a series of afterimages formed a trail going to one of the Jonins. The latter could not even react before his throat was slit by Shisui.
Most of the surrounding Ninjas were shocked by what they had witnessed. However; being near 30 men, they still had it in them to attack.
Witnessing him killing one of their two leaders, everyone instinctively threw their weapons; Kunais, poisoned needles and Shurikens went towards Shisui who remained standing in front of the dead Jonin.
What they did not expect was that these hidden weapons would just go through ”Shisui”, as if hitting a mere shadow!
As they were still stunned, Shisui himself jumped from one of the other shadows, targeting the other Jonin.
The latter was still frightened by everything that had just happened, and did not put up any resistance.
With their leaders gone, what remained of the enemy team was of no threat to Shisui, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.
”Good job, you've made great progress; especially on your afterimage technique! Your shadow seem so realistic now; you haven't been too lazy after all!” Ryo was very satisfied with Shisui's performance.
”It's all Sensei's teaching!” Shisui smiled, a bit embarrassed.
Not rejecting flattery, Ryo nodded and smiled; this kid knew by now how to play on his ego…
After chatting for a while, the apprentice went to the point saying: ”Oh, by the way, why did you come looking for me Sensei?”
”Don't worry about that. Complete your mission for now, and I will wait for you at the 3rd Training Ground.”
Shisui nodded, and began to pack the corpses of his enemies into scrolls to take them to Konoha before leaving. Meanwhile, Ryo went to the 3rd training ground.
A few hours later, he heard: ”Sensei! I'm here!”
He left time for the rushing Shisui to catch his breath, before saying: ”Shisui, some civilians and Ninjas in the village have been in this conflict with the Uchiha clan. I thought you should probably already know about it, and I was curious about your thoughts on the matter.”
Shisui was not expecting the question, but he had nothing to hide: ”Most of my clan is not taking this matter to heart. To them, these are just jealous people, ones to be ignored if calm, and arrested if causing trouble.”
”And what do you think?” Ryo continued to ask.
After a few moments of thought, Shisui replied: ”I'm actually against what's going on. This method will only further intensify the problems that the village has with the Uchiha. Fugaku san also thinks the same and had even called for a clan meeting about the matter.”
After thinking about it, Ryo decided to talk to Fugaku before making any move.
