Chapter 103 - 103 (2/2)
”Shatter!” Ryo controlled his ice, and just like the thousand Ninjas before him, the 3rd Mizukage also shattered with the ice, turning into red-blood Ice Mist.
A short while later, Fukasaku who had reversed summoned Jiraya to Mount Myoboku, returned with the latter to the battlefield. The blood-red Ice Mist had not dissipated yet, allowing them to witness the plan's success.
”Haha! Kid, you're getting stronger and stronger, worthy of being my disciple!” Jiraya laughed over Ryo's shoulder.
He has just been facing Ryo's Ice arrow, and felt the strong natural energy condensed within it.
It was also very clear to him that it was condensed to an extent that insured the birth of great power once it exploded.
”Jiraya san, I still need your help! We need to force a thousand Mist Ninjas into getting close to each other. I want to end this battle!”
”Alright!” Jiraya nodded in agreement. While he hated war and killing, on such a battlefield, he could only afford to have compassion towards Konoha's Ninjas.
He went on to summon Gamabunta, his trusty partner with whom he had fought for many years, and they attacked. Together, they managed to gather a large number of Mist Ninjas in the center of the battlefield.
The Mist Ninjas were very familiar with this scene. Last time this happened, Ryo killed over a thousand of them. They were not willing to sit still and follow, and they tried to escape.
But it was too late. By the time they realized they were being gathered, Ryo's arrow was ready.
The bright Ice Arrow hit the middle of the ground, and constantly grew bigger and bigger, engulfing close to thousand Mist Ninjas in ice. Ryo then shattered the Ice as before, dying the center of the battlefield red.
”Monster! He is a monster!” the Mist Ninjas finally collapsed completely, fleeing without any resistance.
Ryo did not make his men chase them. He knew that their suffering has only began, and he didn't need to add to it.
It was just like Ryo had thought. There is a problem within the hidden mist, since killing the Mizukage made them basically unable to fight back.
After the complete evacuation of the Mist Camp, Ryo held his last meeting, saying what he was about to do, and handing over the command of the camp to Shikaku Nara.
Ryo knew he had to get the medical team to accompany him, but unfortunately, he could not bring them with [Reverse Summoning]. They just had to walk their way to the Lightning country.
In the evening, Inoichi Yamanaka called Ryo to his tent, where Shikaku Nara and Choza Akamichi also waited for him.
The one talking the most was Shikaku, mainly warning Ryo about the 3rd Raikage.
Unlike the Hidden Mist with their secrecy policies, the 3rd Raikage's glorious acts were known to everyone. Even the 3rd Hokage could not dare to claim that he knows he could beat him.
But Ryo felt he had nothing to worry about. According to the original storyline, Minato should have already developed the Flying Thunder God to great extents.
In this world of Ninja, victory is brought by the ultimate speed brings victory. Minato has developed Flying Thunder God and Rasengan, reaching the level of the 3rd Hokage and Raikage.
With such an ally, Ryo did not worry about the Raikage, especially that he wasn't weak himself. Sure, he was not at that level, but he was not to be underestimated either!
