They were heading in the right area of where Kara was supposed to be.
He now had an opportunity to get into kara. He was not going to let it pass him by.
They were on the road for about three hours. Leaping from one tree to the next. They arrived at their destination.
They came to a halt when they arrived at the location. Ryu was inspecting the area and looking for traces of kara. He noticed someone approaching them.
He turned to his left and saw a person with half a body and a metal face approaching them, as if they were being approached by some technology.
Ryu stared at him and asked, "Who are you, and why did you kidnap everyone here?"
Ryu pretended he didn't recognize AO and acted puzzled and he hoped to join Kara through negotiation if possible. Ryu did not want to confront Ao. For him, it would be a waste of time.
Ao looked around at the four people who were staring at him. The three children were staring at him as if he had killed his family. The kid, on the other hand, was staring at him with enthusiasm.
Ao was willing and ready to complete the task assigned to him by Kashin Kojin: find a powerful servant for Jigen. He wanted to find someone, but he couldn't. He simply did not find anyone who met the age and power requirements.
But when he looked at Ryu, he felt a glimmer of hope. He chose the children to bring their friends of a similar age without informing the hokage. He didn't want anything to do with Naruto because he knew Naruto was bad news. In the fourth great ninja war, he fought alongside him.
Ao knew his limits and was confident in handling some brats. He'd faced opponents far more powerful than the Jonins. It was like taking a stroll through the park. He needed someone powerful enough to defeat him, and he knew Kashin Kojin was watching him.
"I am Ao," Ao said, looking at Ryu.
"I am outside of the Kara Organization." She paused and continued, "I am looking for someone strong to convince them to join the organization."
Ryu didn't expect him to explain everything to him. He needed to figure out a way to persuade Ao to invite him. He simply didn't know how. He wanted to respond naturally, so he said, "What benefits does your organization provide to new members? I'm not interested if it's just the metal scarps on your body."
Ryu looked at Ao as if it were normal for him to act that way. Ryu was informed of Ao's appearance and anticipated to recruit a strong person his age at the time. He had no chance of recurritment if he defeated Ao. Kashin koji must be present.
"Where are sensei and others?" the three kids asked, staring at Ao. "What did you do to them?"
"I guess they must have been sent for the operation," Ao said, looking at the kids.
Ao dispatched them to Amado for later experiments after defeating them in battle.
The three kids were completely enraged after hearing Ao: "Why you? This was not supposed to happen. "
"You broke your promise," the other kid added.
"I don't care about those silly things," Ao said after hearing their complaints.
The kids have completely lost it and forgot Ryu's existence. They ran towards Ao.
"Water bullet jutsu, water style."
A barrage of water bullets was fired at Ao. The water bullets were fast and had a high damage calibre. When Ao raised his hand to the charging water bullet, a dark ball absorbed the jutsu as soon as it touched it.
The kids knew of Ao's being able to absrob Jutsu. The other child jumped up and shot the shuriken at Ao. Because the Shuriken was a physical matter rather than a jutsu, Ao could not absorb it.
Ao caught the shuriken charging towards him with his other hand after a quick glance. Ao chuckled at the kids' predictability. "Transformation Jutsu," the shuriken transformed into a person and grabbed a kunai aimed directly at Ao's head.
Ao bowed his head and drew his saber sword, piercing the kids' guts. He coughed a mothful of blood.
When the other two children saw their friend being pierced by a saber sword, they screamed. They acted rashly, not realizing he was more skilled and could defeat their sensei and other ninjas combined.
Ryu was looking at the battle in front of him when he noticed the kid getting a saber sword in his guts.and thought: 'They were quite stupid to fight an opponent with such a large power gap.' Ryu sighed before moving towards the kids.
Ryu put his hand on the shoulders of the other two kids and said, " "Let me handle it. I'll deal with him and keep the village in the dark about the kara's involvement. Take your friends with you and leave. I'll set him free." with a slight grin
The two kids looked at Ryu and simply nodded: "Please help him."
Ryu took a step forward and spoke: "I'm going to join your small group. So, why don't you just let him go?"
Ryu drew admiring glances from the kids. They thought to themselves, "He is willing to sacrifice himself for us, who have barely met him." He is a wonderful person."
"You must be deemed worthy by me, and others cannot be informed about Kara," Ao said, looking at Ryu.
Ryu remained silent and gazed up at the sky. There were a lot of clouds. "Today is a cloudy day," Ryu said, staring at the cloud.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Ryu's words. "Why don't we start our battle?" said Ao, tossing the child to the ground. Ao looked at Ryu to make the initiative attack.
Ryu's hand was charged with a steady stream of electricity. Ryu raised his hand, the intensity of the electricity increasing. The electricity in his hand began to influence the clouds in their production of electricity.
After glancing at the charged thunder in Ryu's hand, Ao predicted that Ryu was about to launch a jutsu and predicted that it would be a short range jutsu.
"The name of this jutsu is Kirin, Begone with the Thunderdragon," Ryu smiled at Ao.
It was Sasuke's jutsu, Ao realized. Kara had information on Naruto and Sasuke because of their powers. He knew it was an S-ranked jutsu that would either kill or bring him close to death.
Suddenly Above his head appeared a thunder dragon. His eyes widened. He had no choice but to launch his drone in order to counter the kirin.
He was about to launch attack with his drone as soon as he saw kirin but the moment he was about to launch an attack. He was caught in a genjutsu.
Ao noticed Ryu's eyes turning, gaining three Tomoe, and then abruptly changing into spiral lines. He was trapped in Tsukiyomi's world the moment he saw the eyes.
The inside of the Tsukiyomi mirrored the outside world, and he was standing in the same spot he been before. A thunderdragon appeared above his head, and he attempted to activate his drone but was unable to do so, and he was struck by the thunder dragon. He was in excruciating pain all over his body, as if he was being fried and his muscles were on fire. The next second, he was fine. He had been in Tsukiyomi's world for three days and only a single moment had passed in real time. He attempted to resist the thunder dragon, but was unable to do so, and eventually gave up on it being shot repeatedly.
Tsukiyomi's world had come to an end. Above his head, he saw a thunder dragon. He made no attempt to resist. He mistook himself for still being under Tsukiyomi's command. Tsukiyomi's environment and all of the setups were identical to the real world. He, too, was mentally exhausted. As a result, he couldn't tell the difference between the two worlds.
The thunder dragon charged at Ao. He felt the same pain as before, but this time it was different. He wasn't feeling well, then he looked into Ryu's eyes and questioned to himself, "Why does he have those eyes?" Ao was barely alive after being mentally drained and struck by Kirin, who caused severe physical damage. He couldn't even speak.
The three kids looked shocked after they saw how easy Ryu made it look: " He is too damn strong.'
All of them present suddenly looked above. They all sensed a presence and Ao had a worried face and spoke: " Kashin koji."
Kashin koji stood nearby and cast a glance at Ryu. He didn't pay any attention to Ao. Ao was going to die in less than a minute. He now found a person to join the group and replace Ao. It had always been their intention. Ao refused to obey Amado's commands and would betray him at any time.
So they sent him on a phony mission, and Kashin Koj was supposed to kill him, but to his surprise, someone else killed him without even breaking a sweat.
He was now supposed to either eliminate him or compel him to join Kara in order to eliminate Jigen.
