Chapter 22: 22- Save Kushina (Part 3)
Sato didn't expect Ryuu to react so quickly to his attack. The speed he used was very fast, so even if he used it directly in front of the enemy, the enemy wouldn't respond so quickly and wouldn't counterattack.
Ryuu hits Sato with the Odama Rasengan in the chest.
The impact of Odama Rasengan's collision with Sato was so strong that it shattered the ground around him.
After the impact of the blow ended, dust covered the area where Sato, Ryuu, and Kushina were previously, obscuring Kato and Renko's eyes.
Once the dust cleared, there was no sign of Ryuu or Kushina, and Sato was lying on the rubble with blood coming out of his mouth and he was unconscious.
Sato's rib cage was smashed, his internal organs were badly damaged, and he was close to death.
"Katou, find them with Sensing Technique quickly," Renko said as he went to check on Sato's injuries. But when he got close to Sato, Ryuu came out of the ground under Renko's feet and sent a punch to his chin.
As soon as Ryuu came out of the ground, Renko noticed and dodged Ryuu's sneak attack by tilting his head back. He then sent a punch in Ryuu's direction, but Ryuu grabbed the fist that came in his direction.
Ryuu then sent a kick toward Renko's stomach, who blocked it with his knee and then sent a kick toward Ryuu using his other foot.
Ryuu backed away and opened a space between himself and Renko as soon as he saw Renko's foot swinging towards him.
"Renku, we need to retreat quickly, there are five people heading here and they will arrive in 5 minutes. carry Sato with you." At this moment Kato shouted to warn Renko about the five ninjas coming to their place.
When Renko heard Kato's words, he went straight to pick up Sato, but Ryuu got in his way, "Do you think I'll let you back off?"
"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu"
Ryuu shoots a fireball from his mouth at Renko without the hand seals. A fireball hit Renko and burned him.
But after the body was burned, it disintegrated and turned into a group of rocks and scattered on the ground.
At this moment Sato got up from the ground and quickly wrapped his arm around Ryuu's neck from behind.
Ryuu didn't expect Sato to be able to get back on his feet after the injury he sustained, so he didn't pay attention to him because he didn't identify him as a threat.
'Something's wrong, he shouldn't be conscious I've checked he's unconscious, and even if he's conscious he shouldn't be able to move with this serious injury' thought Ryuu.
Then Ryuu noticed that Kato was lying on the ground and then realized that the person holding him was being controlled by Kato.
'Controlling an injured body is very difficult and painful,' thought Kato, who is currently controlling Sato's body.
"You can't escape now, you will surely die," Sato (Kato) said while all the Explosive Tag on his jacket were activated
All three of them have an Explosive Tags under their clothes, so if they are caught they can use it to commit suicide while killing enemies with them, so that Danzo is not revealed to have planned to kidnap Kushina.
Ryuu was shocked that they were trying to kill him with Sato, Ryuu hit Sato with his elbow because he wanted to break free before activating the Explosive Tags.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, did you really think we'd save Sato?" Renko laughed out loud after seeing the shocked expression on Ryuu's face.
Upon hearing Renko's words, Ryuu was furious but focused on trying to escape.
Because of the pain, Sato (Kato) let go of Ryuu, but smiled and said, "It's too late to escape, you're dead."
In moments, the blast covered a radius of 10 meters, and only Sato and Ryuu were within the blast range.
Kushina, who was hiding and watching the fight, upon seeing that Ryuu was within the blast range, tears started to flow from her eyes and when she wanted to go to the blast site to check if Ryuu was still alive, Renku appeared in front of her.
"Welcome home, little girl," Renko said to Kushina in a sneered tone as he smiled.
"Renko, look over there. What is this thing?" Kato said in fear, looking at the smoke and dust rising from the scene of the explosion.
"What's wrong with you, why are you afraid?" Renko said as he looked at Kato and then looked at the epicenter of the explosion. As soon as he looked into the center of the explosion, he saw within the smoke and dust the silhouette of a giant skeleton with horns on its head and eye sockets glowing.
Moments before the explosion occurred, Ryuu used his Mangekyu Sharingan to activate the Susanoo to protect him from the explosion.
When he activated the Susanoo, a giant chest cage surrounded himself, protecting him from the explosion, and when the explosion ended, Ryuu did not get a scratch.
'Susanoo's defense is really strong,' Ryuu thought. But he felt pain and headaches when using Susanoo. But he did not care about that and added more chakras to the Susanoo, which made it develop into a complete skeleton with a silver color.
Ryuu then moved very quickly towards Renko who was near Kushina.
While Kato and Renko were shocked by the appearance of the giant skeleton inside the explosion. The skeleton comes out of the explosion area and reveals its full form and then moves quickly towards Renku and then reaches out to grab it, Renko did not expect the skeleton to move so quickly, so the hand of the skeleton grabbed it.
"Damn you, get me down, monster!" Renko said and then noticed that Ryuu inside the skeleton marveled and asked, "You, how do you survive? And what is that skeleton?"
"I have no interest in explaining anything to you, so you can die," Ryuu said as the skeleton's hand squeezed Renko, crushing him into a flesh-and-blood batter and throwing it away.
.....
Chapter 23: 23- Save Kushina (The Final Part)
After killing Renko, Ryuu deactivated the Susanoo, because he was feeling severe pain and headaches when using it.
'Damn that's too painful, I have to find a way to evolve the Mangekyou Sharingan to the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan or find a way to use the Susanoo without needing a Mangekyou Sharingan like Madara' thought Ryuu.
After deactivating the Susanoo, Ryuu went to Kushina's side.
"Ryuu, thank God you're okay" Kushina shouted hugging Ryuu tightly and started crying, she thought Ryuu died in the explosion.
"It's okay, Kushina, I'm fine," Ryuu said while hugging Kushina as well as he stroked her back.
"Let me kill the last person and I will come back to you," Ryuu said to Kushina in a soft tone. Kushina nodded and walked away from him.
Ryuu looked around but couldn't find Kato, 'It looks like he ran away while I was talking to Kushina'
Then Ryuu used his chakra sense to find the whereabouts of Kato who had escaped.
'He's farther away than I expected,' Ryuu thought. He sensed the direction in which Kato was fleeing, who was fleeing in the opposite direction of Konoha.
"Kushina, wait for me here, I'll be back soon," he said, then used his body flicker to go very fast in the direction Kato ran to.
...
'I should tell Danzo-sama about this quickly, I didn't expect Ryuu Uchiha to be this strong' Kato thought as he remembered the scene where Renko was crushed by Susanoo, he was so terrified so he ran as fast as he could.
As he ran away, he sensed danger coming from behind him, so he quickly jumped to the left. The place he was in before was full of shurikens.
'Damn he followed me so quickly' He looked behind him but couldn't find Ryuu anywhere.
Suddenly, more than twenty Ryuu surrounded him. After seeing them, Kato quickly performed hand seals.
After Cato had completed the hand seals, he placed both palms on the ground and sent the chakra to the ground, a 6 inch spikes raise out of the ground sticking straight up. This extends about Kato 25 feet in each direction. The only spot unaffected is the small 5-foot-wide circle where Kato stands.
After he completed the jutsu, the twenty Ryuu jumped to Kato's direction. But at this moment Kato smiled and made a single hand seal and presses their hands onto the ground again. He sent the chakra to the ground, causing all the nails to fly out of the ground.
Earth Release: Rock Thorn Launch Jutsu"
The spikes turned toward the twenty Ryuu and hit them, but when the attack hit them, all twenty Ryuu turned into crows, and headed toward Kato.
"Demonic Illusion: Mirage Crow"
"Damn it, how long have I been in an illusion?"The crows were blurring Kato's vision and hovering around him. Suddenly he heard the sound of several birds chirping and saw a lightning light in front of him. But he could not dodge in time.
Ryuu's hand using Chidori pierced Kato's chest. Then he pulled his hand from Cato's chest and said, "It was easy to put you in an illusion because of your great fear and turmoil of your feelings."
After Ryuu withdrew his hand, Kato's body fell to the ground.
After thinking for a moment, Ryuu removed all the Explosive Tags from Kato's body. Then he picked up Kato's body and went to Kushina's whereabouts.
When Ryuu arrived at Kushina's whereabouts, seeing her absentmindedly, he dropped Kato's body on the ground and approached her, and said to her with a smile, "Why are you so distracted, aren't you afraid of being kidnapped again? Well, even if you are kidnapped again, I will save you."
Kushina heard Ryuu's voice and looked at him, feeling warm in her heart upon hearing the last part of Ryuu's words.
"What were you thinking?" Ryuu said while sitting next to Kushina.
"I was thinking, because of me you put your life in danger and even when I regained consciousness I couldn't help you in the fight and when you nearly died in the explosion I felt that I was useless and that I caused your death, I want to become stronger to help you in the fight, I want to become stronger to protect myself so that you don't risk yourself to protect me"
While she was speaking, Kushina started crying, and when Kushina said the last part, there was firmness in her voice and there was a strong desire to become stronger and she vowed to herself to become stronger.
When Ryuu saw Kushina crying while saying these words, Ryuu gently hugged her and said, "It's okay I won't die, also I'm sure you'll get stronger."
After Kushina calmed down, Ryuu wiped the tears from her eyes and said gently, "Let's go home, you must be tired from everything that happened today."
Then Ryuu helped Kushina to stand up, and when she was ready to go back to Konoha she saw that Ryuu went to Kato's body and carried him, she asked suspiciously, "Why are you going to ban this with us?"
"I will take his body for the Hokage to check his identity," Ryuu answered Kushina's question. He hoped Hiruzen would do something about Danzo after providing evidence of Kushina's abduction. The best evidence was the body of this person from the Yamanaka clan.
Suddenly five people appeared in front of Ryuu and Kushina, Tsunade and Mikoto were among them and the remaining three were Chunin from Konoha.
"Kushina, are you okay?" After they arrived, Mikoto hugged Kushina. She was very worried about her since she disappeared and when she found out that Kushina had been kidnapped, she was even more worried.
"I'm fine, sorry to make you worried, Mikoto," Kushina said
"Sorry for being late, but apparently you could have saved Kushina without our help, and what is this body you're carrying?" Tsunade said apologetically, then asked what body Ryuu was carrying.
"He's one of the people who kidnapped Kushina, I'll take him to Konoha to confirm his identity, but I'd prefer the Hokage to examine him personally," Ryuu replied. He hoped that Tsunade would help him convince Hiruzen to personally examine the body.
"Okay, I'll tell Sarutobi-sensei about that," Tsunade said to Ryuu.
