Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Becoming a Rogue Ninja?

Perfect Sage Mode.

Although Ryujiro appeared no different from before, the terrifying aura emanating from him made both Fukasaku and Shima break out in a cold sweat.

Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded.

Sage Mode.

Ryujiro in this state was already in Sage Mode?

The Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku should have distinct characteristics, even the eye shadow at the corners of the eyes was absent.

Could it be that Ryujiro had even erased the characteristics of Sage Mode?

Ryujiro felt the changes happening within his body, with chakra circulating through every vein endlessly, filling every part of him.

If he were to open the Eight Gates in this state, the power would be terrifying.

"I didn't expect Ryujiro would master Sage Mode so quickly."

"Have you ever seen Sage Mode in this state, Sensei?"

Fukasaku shook his head.

Sage Mode in this state, even with the innate talent like Minato's, it's impossible to be like Ryujiro.

And although the natural energy around wasn't pouring into Ryujiro's body as crazily as before, his body was still absorbing natural energy like a toad oil.

That meant even if Ryujiro wanted to maintain this state for a long time, it was possible.

Fukasaku couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Can this be called Eternal Sage Mode?

Ryujiro, he's too terrifying.

When Ryujiro appeared in front of the Great Toad Sage again, even the thousand-year-old Great Toad Sage was moved.

Being in Sage Mode as a norm, and even automatically absorbing natural energy.

Even when Hagoromo practiced Senjutsu, he wasn't as terrifying as Ryujiro.

The future was so uncertain; this kid's future was quite bewildering.

For the shinobi world, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

The fact that such a person wasn't the Child of Prophecy was indeed worrying.

After meeting the Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku and Shima warmly invited Jiraiya and Ryujiro to their place for dinner.

Jiraiya immediately shivered at the thought of those hard-to-swallow bugs and quickly declined. 

Even if he could eat them, he didn't want to experience that taste again.

The disappointed Fukasaku and Shima, after being rejected, wore regretful expressions.

Next time, when Jiraiya and little Ryujiro are free, they will make them taste the "delicacies" of Mount Myoboku.

-------------------------------------

In the Hidden Rain Village, various peculiar buildings stood tall.

And surprisingly, all members of the Akatsuki were recalled.

"Even with your combined power, you all have failed. It seems that this Ryujiro is truly formidable."

The person with a serious and cold expression spoke in a deep voice.

Especially with those purple eyes with concentric ripples, they gave off tremendous intimidation.

Rinnegan.

After impersonating as Uchiha Madara and finding Nagato, Obito informed Nagato about Ryujiro's information in Konoha. 

Obito believed Ryujiro was a potential threat, so he manipulated Nagato to mobilize the Akatsuki members to assassinate Ryujiro.

But the outcome was unexpected for Nagato.

Even if the mission failed, Nagato thought at least it could severely injure Ryujiro, but here the members of the Akatsuki themselves were injured?

They mistook their own comrades for Ryujiro and Jiraiya and fought each other.

Nagato, who controlled Pain, looked at Itachi.

It is said that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can see through any Genjutsu, right?

Even Itachi's eyes didn't notice when he was under Genjutsu.

But the key reason was that Obito didn't tell him about Ryujiro's ability to use Genjutsu. 

Nagato was a disciple of Jiraiya, so he naturally knew his teacher couldn't use Genjutsu of such a high level.

Even with his Mangekyo Sharingan Itachi couldn't break free from it, this Ryujiro was indeed troublesome.

Now that the Akatsuki has attracted the attention of the major shinobi villages, their actions must speed up.

The plan to capture all the Tailed Beasts...

A dark light flashed in Pain's eyes.

-------------------------------------

Even if the people of the Hidden Sand Village were dissatisfied with Konoha, it was useless now. Go to war with Konoha?

They didn't have that strength.

They only had a single Kage level ninja, Chiyo.

Starting a war with Konoha is just giving other major villages an opportunity. 

It's even possible for other major villages to launch a surprise attack on the Hidden Sand Village during this empty period, and by then, everything would be irreparable.

After Chiyo strongly suppressed the dissatisfaction among the higher-ups, the Hidden Sand Village also returned to its former peace.

The position of the Kazekage couldn't be vacant for long, but now, even if the Hidden Sand Village wanted to elect a new Kazekage, there's no good candidate.

Someone approached Chiyo and asked her to take up the position of the Fifth Kazekage, but Chiyo flatly refused.

Originally, Chiyo's plan to live in seclusion meant not getting involved in the affairs of the Land of Wind and the village. Now, she had no choice but to come out.

Besides, even if she became Kazekage at her age, she wouldn't have many good years left to live, and there are many things to deal with as the leader of a village.

And for a while, because the position of Kazekage was temporarily vacant, the people of the Hidden Sand Village didn't have a candidate to recommend.

After a long time, Chiyo finally summoned the higher-ups and elected Gaara as the Fifth Kazekage, of course not immediately to the position of Kazekage as Gaara was now only twelve years old. 

He needed at least another two or three years before he could take up the position of Kazekage.

And during this time, they should help grow Gaara as the future Kazekage.

The current Gaara no longer has the paranoid personality he used to have, and as a Jinchuriki, Gaara was also qualified to become the Kazekage.

At first, the higher-ups in the village disagreed, but eventually, due to the lack of candidates who could take up the position of Kazekage, they reluctantly accepted the proposal.

Gaara looked out over the entire Hidden Sand Village on the yellow soil, his eyes shining with a strange light.

"Shukaku, the village intends to elect me as the next Kazekage. What do you think?"

Since being defeated by Ryujiro, Gaara has been able to communicate normally with Shukaku sealed within him.

"Tch, what's good about being Kazekage?"

"Kid, don't forget how they treated you. In their eyes, you're nothing more than a tool."

"If it were up to me, I'd just slip out of the village and become a rogue ninja."

"After all, you have no emotional attachment to this place, right?"

Shukaku's disdainful voice echoed in Gaara's mind.

Become a rogue ninja?

Now Gaara, unlike before, wasn't influenced by Naruto's talk no jutsu and didn't have the desire to be accepted by everyone. 

On the contrary, he already felt a sense of boredom staying in the village.

Being a rogue ninja didn't sound bad at all.

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Gaara Defects

After leaving Mount Myoboku, Ryujiro and Jiraiya didn't use Reverse Summoning Jutsu to return.

It took about a month for Jiraiya and Ryujiro to return to Konoha.

When Ryujiro returned to the village, he heard a surprising piece of news.

It was that Gaara, a Jinchuriki from the Hidden Sand Village, had been declared an S-rank missing-nin after defecting from the village.

In the original story, Gaara was supposed to become the Fifth Kazekage.

Now that Gaara had defected from the Hidden Sand Village, who would take the position of the Fifth Kazekage? 

The only one who could possibly take the position now was Chiyo.

The development of the plot exceeded his expectations.

After returning to the Hyuga house, although it had only been a month since they last met, when Hinata heard that Ryujiro had returned, she rushed crazily and threw herself into Ryujiro's arms.

Feeling the faint fragrance of Hinata, a faint smile appeared on Ryujiro's lips.

Even in this world, he could still experience the feeling of home.

He wondered if his Hogyoku could help Hinata evolve her Byakugan and awaken the Tenseigan.

The power of Hogyoku was immeasurable. After all, Ryujiro was now capable of creating terrifying creatures.

He didn't mind stirring up some trouble in the shinobi world, becoming a mastermind behind the scenes in the storm that would engulf the entire shinobi world, opposing Uchiha Madara.

Nagato's desire for peace was nothing but a futile illusion, imagining himself as a godlike existence.

Moreover, those Rinnegan weren't originally Nagato's. 

If Nagato hadn't been a member of the Uzumaki clan he would probably have died long ago after using the Rinnegan so frequently.

"Ryujiro, why do you feel a bit different?" Hinata asked, staring at Ryujiro.

Ryujiro gently stroked her hair and smiled faintly. "I've changed a bit."

Ryujiro's strength was several times or even dozens of times greater than before, so now he was at least confident in facing opponents like those at the level of Six Paths.

But even so he wanted to remain cautious whenever facing anyone because things like Truth Seeking Balls could obliterate everything.

In terms of overall strength, he did surpass the previous super Kage-level shinobi, and even if Uchiha Madara were to be resurrected now, Ryujiro was confident in dealing with him.

Of course, at this stage, the only one with strength surpassing that of the Kage was Nagato. 

Although Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and had the ability to absorb ninjutsu, Ryujiro's sword attacks didn't have a chakra nature. 

Even if his attack carried a portion of Sage chakra, it could only absorb the Sage chakra attached to the sword attack.

After spending some time with Hinata at the Hyuga house, Ryujiro went to the Hokage's office. As an assistant to the Hokage, he couldn't afford to be idle.

He couldn't just come back and not even meet the Hokage.

At this time, Tsunade in the Hokage's office already knew about what Ryujiro had done at Mount Myoboku.

In less than a day, he had mastered the Sage Mode, and it was a perfect Sage Mode. According to Jiraiya, even in his normal state, Ryujiro was in Sage Mode.

It seemed that Ryujiro's physique had transformed into a Sage's body like her grandfather's, able to automatically heal even if it's heavily injured.

Tsunade couldn't understand how Ryujiro had done it.

Seeing Ryujiro arrive at the Hokage's office, Tsunade frowned and glanced at him but didn't say much.

"I thought you'd spend the whole day with Hinata," she said. 

"I didn't expect you to remember your Hokage."

Ryujiro smiled faintly, "What are you talking about, Hokage-sama? You're the Hokage. I'm your assistant. How could I forget you?"

"Alright, stop being a jerk," Tsunade didn't believe Ryujiro's words. This kid wasn't that nice.

"Now that you're back, half of these documents are for you to handle," Tsunade pointed to the large stack of documents on the desk.

These days, she had been busy dealing with matters in the village, and being the Hokage wasn't as easy as Tsunade had thought.

Although she had prepared for it beforehand, she hadn't expected it to be so difficult.

Looking at the table full of documents, Ryujiro couldn't help but feel a chill.

When would he finish dealing with so many documents? Despite his reluctance, he still agreed to Tsunade's request.

After all, he wouldn't have to do it himself, and he could just hand it over to a shadow clone later.

He agreed so quickly.

Tsunade was somewhat surprised by Ryujiro's quick agreement.

But as an assistant to the Hokage, Ryujiro should handle some things. If she were to handle all these documents by herself, who knows when she would finish.

The power Tsunade had given Ryujiro was even greater than that of the previous assistants to the Hokage. Ryujiro could act on behalf of the Hokage.

Although there were objections from the two elders and the higher-ups of Konoha, Tsunade managed to suppress them.

As for the means she used, if Tsunade didn't sit in the Hokage's position, no one in the village would be able to take the position of Hokage, and by then, Konoha, which had just restored order, would become chaotic again.

Ryujiro didn't just come to see Tsunade. He asked about Gaara's defection from the Hidden Sand Village.

It had been a week since Gaara left the Hidden Sand Village. Although the Sand Village had sent some Jonins to track him down, they were no match for Gaara.

Though Gaara didn't kill them, being buried in sand up to their waists wasn't pleasant.

If this had happened in the past, those who pursued Gaara would probably have already perished.

A Jinchuriki defecting from a shinobi village, once this news spreads throughout the entire shinobi world, all shinobi villages will take action. 

If they could obtain a Tailed Beast, it would give any village the power to disrupt the balance of the shinobi world.

Tailed Beasts were known as weapons of mass destruction.

---

After leaving the Hokage's office, Ryujiro hadn't gone far before a cold voice called out to him.

At this time, Sasuke hadn't defected from the village. Perhaps it was because the right time hadn't come yet, or perhaps it was because he had been influenced by Ryujiro and the plot changed.

Sasuke looked at Ryujiro with a complex expression.

It had only been a short time since Ryujiro had become the assistant to the Hokage, and he was still just a Chunin. 

This gap crushed the last bit of pride he had as a member of the Uchiha clan.

His strength wasn't enough to kill Itachi.

From Kakashi, he learned that not long ago, Itachi returned to the village, and Ryujiro fought against Itachi.

And what shocked him was that Itachi's Genjutsu not only didn't affect Ryujiro, but it seemed to backfire and injure him.

Ryujiro's current strength completely surpassed Itachi.

If he wanted to defeat Itachi...

He would have to let go of his pride as an Uchiha and ask Ryujiro for help.

For revenge, for killing Itachi, nothing else mattered to Sasuke. He finally understood that without strength, everything was meaningless.

Only with strength like Ryujiro's could he control his own destiny.
