Kapitel 84: Chapter 84: Ignorance Is Bliss
"Why was it that Ryujiro could put Itachi under Genjutsu, who has the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"Damn it, Konoha is really lucky."
Gritting his teeth, Obito's cold eyes behind the mask glared like frost.
"Obito, according to the intel, this guy has already mastered the Sage Arts of Mount Myoboku."
"And—"
"It's the perfect Sage Mode without any limitations."
"You should be aware of the power of Sage Mode. But worry not I have some additional information regarding that boy."
Black Zetsu said deeply.
Ah.
That's right.
Sage Mode is indeed daunting, but it has a time limit. The rumor of Ryujiro's permanent Sage Mode was simply false.
Black Zetsu had seen it with his own eyes; Ryujiro didn't maintain Sage Mode all the time. It was just fake news spread by Konoha.
However, even Black Zetsu couldn't imagine that it was just one of Ryujiro's shadow clones.
As for Ryujiro himself, he was still on his way back.
"Nagato's side has already captured the Two-Tails and Four-Tails."
"However, the One-Tail Jinchuriki from Sunagakure is missing. At that time, who exactly killed Sasori and Deidara is still under investigation."
Black Zetsu said slowly.
"Heh, Nagato, those who died were just trash."
"The deaths of Deidara and Sasori show their incompetence."
"Next—"
"We need to speed up the capture of the Tailed Beasts. Nagato is already formulating a plan to capture the Nine-Tails."
....
'Thinking of yourself as a god, but in the end, you're just a pawn.'
Obito sneered, and the surrounding space suddenly distorted, absorbing him into the vortex.
Black Zetsu looked up at the sky, letting out a chilling laugh.
'Obito, whether it's you, Nagato, or Uchiha Madara, you're all just part of the plan I created.
I am the true mastermind behind the workings of the entire shinobi world.'
——
When the four major ninja villages learned that the One-Tail Jinchuriki had defected from Sunagakure, almost all the villages began to search for the One-Tail Jinchuriki with great effort.
Due to the appearance of the Akatsuki, this previously unheard-of organization gradually came into the view of the major villages.
Kumo Team.
According to their information, the One-Tail Jinchuriki had appeared in this area.
Led by Darui, the search team was looking for Gaara in the vicinity of Tanigakure in Land of Rivers.
The team from Kumogakure appeared in Tanigakure and the Tanigakure ninjas could do nothing but protest.
After all, Kumo is one of the five great ninja villages, while Tanigakure is just a small village.
As long as the Kumo ninjas didn't threaten the village, the Tanigakure high-ups turned a blind eye.
"Captain Darui, we haven't found any trace of the One-Tail Jinchuriki."
"Captain, could our information be wrong?"
"Why would the One-Tail Jinchuriki come here? Moreover, the Dango shop we passed earlier on the way had signs of a battle."
"Yeah, right."
"Such terrain damage could only be caused by an S-rank jutsu."
Darui's face darkened.
Kumo had recently lost the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to the Akatsuki.
It's said that the Four-Tails, Roshi, was also captured by this organization.
Capturing Tailed Beast Jinchuriki... What was Akatsuki up to?
At least for the entire shinobi world, the Akatsuki has become a significant threat.
"Captain Darui, could the Tanigakure high-ups be hiding the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"
A Chunin spoke up.
Darui shook his head, "Tanigakure wouldn't be that foolish. Possessing something that doesn't match their strength would only lead to destruction."
They had been out of the village for a month. It seemed the One-Tail Jinchuriki was hiding.
This aimless search wasn't helping. The only concern now was whether the Akatsuki had already taken the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
"Retreat and return back to the village."
On Darui's command, the Kumo search team left Tanigakure.
Meanwhile, Ryujiro was leisurely making his way back to the village.
There was no need to rush to learn the Sage Arts from Shikkotsu Forest. If he wanted to know its location, he could just ask Tsunade.
Not long ago, he received a message from a shadow clone indicating someone was spying on Konoha.
As for who it was, Ryujiro wasn't sure.
However, no matter who it was, Ryujiro didn't care much.
Ryujiro's current strength had completely surpassed the likes of super Kage level ninjas.
Even if he faced a resurrected Uchiha Madara, Ryujiro believed he could easily handle him.
With the Chunin Exams and the altered storyline, he wondered if the Pain invasion would happen sooner.
He heard that Jiraiya left the village to investigate the Akatsuki.
Hopefully, Jiraiya wouldn't do anything reckless; otherwise—Ryujiro felt it would be a shame if Jiraiya died.
If possible, he would prevent that from happening.
At this moment, Ryujiro suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Several figures surrounded him.
Ryujiro glanced at their headbands.
Kumo ninjas.
"Captain, this guy is a Konoha ninja."
Darui appeared in front of Ryujiro.
Black shirt, white haori and a sword at his waist.
Could this guy be!
Darui's eyes shrank.
Konoha's sword prodigy?
"Why would Konoha's Hokage Assistant be here?"
Darui looked deeply at Ryujiro.
Hokage Assistant?!
The other Kumo ninjas were stunned, looking at Ryujiro in disbelief.
This guy here was the Hokage Assistant?
How was that possible!
Wait!
Is this guy the rumored sword prodigy of Konoha, said to be even more terrifying than the once-famous White Fang?
In any village, there are ninjas who infiltrate enemy nations. According to their intelligence, Ryujiro had been staying in the village.
Gasp!
A shadow clone in Konoha!
As the Raikage's right-hand man, Darui quickly understood.
"Why can't I be here?"
"Why does it concern you Kumo ninjas?"
"You know I'm in a quite good mood today so if you leave now, I might let you go."
Killing these Kumo ninjas wouldn't take much effort for Ryujiro.
"Damn brat! What did you say!"
Darui's eyes darkened.
Konoha and Kumogakure were enemies. If this kid dies here, wouldn't Konoha lose a powerful shinobi?
Darui looked at Ryujiro carefully.
This guy didn't seem as terrifying as the rumors said, more like a weak scholar.
Could it be that their intel on Ryujiro was false?
"Arrogant."
Darui snorted.
"It's rumored that Konoha's sword genius surpasses the White Fang.
Today, I want to see if the rumors are true."
Darui exuded a fierce killing intent.
Hearing this, Ryujiro shook his head helplessly. Some people never learn.
It seems these Kumo ninjas were determined to die today.
Ryujiro drew his Zanpakuto, glancing at the Kumo ninjas.
"Kyoka Suigetsu."
