Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 462

The sand in the desert gradually buried the fainted Pakura and Sunagakure at its worst. In desperation, the Ninjas of Sunagakure invited Rasa and Chiyo to go out. After last night’s fighting, The Sand Ninja didn’t know that Rasa and Chiyo, two high-level Ninja’s retirement, would generally be reclusive outside the village.

Rasa and Chiyo returned to the village and immediately directed the Sand Ninja to search for the traces of Gaara and Pakura. A large number of Sand Ninja left the village and started a wide-scale search. Unfortunately, they did not find any clues for the whole day.

Sunagakure’s atmosphere seemed more solemn, and Rasa and Chiyo’s hearts became more and more disturbed.

Anbu of Sand Ninja ran in and reported, “Yondaime, Konoha’s Ninja’s here!”

Rasa looked at Chiyo, Chiyo nodded, and Rasa immediately said, “Let them in!”

Moments later, Yamato took Naruto and Sakura to Kazekage’s office.

“Thank you all from Konoha, we …”

Before Rasa can finish her sentences, Chiyo coldly snorted and said, “This is Konoha’s assistance? Is there no one in Konoha?”

“Please rest assured, Lord Chiyo, the three of us are only vanguard. The others are coming. Is Lord Chiyo truly thinking of us that low?” Yamato opened his palm, and a piece of wood slowly extended from the palm.

“This is Mokuton! It’s a Mokuton! I apologize. I’ve been wrong. Thanks to Konoha for their help.” When she saw Mokuton, Chiyo’s attitude changed a lot.

Yamato laughed and said, “Konoha and Sand Ninja are alliances, and we should help each other. I just saw your village. The situation doesn’t look good. I wonder how we can help you?”

Chiyo sighed and said, “Oh! There’s nothing to hide anymore. Our village’s Fifth Kage, Kazekage, and consultant Elder Pakura are missing, maybe…”

Yamato’s expression became hard, he didn’t really care about Kazekage, but he cared about Pakura and knew that Pakura’s the wife of Yamanaka Ryo. In the worst-case scenario …

Thinking of this, Yamato immediately said to Naruto, “Naruto, can you ask Kyuubi to find Lord Pakura?”

Naruto scratched his head and asked, “Pakura? Who is that?”

Yamato looked at Rasa and Chiyo, bit the teeth, and said, “Pakura is Ryo-sama’s wife.”

“Wife? You mean that beautiful Aunt? I see!” After said that, Naruto closes his eyes and communicating with Kyuubi within-his-body.

Kyuubi couldn’t remember what Pakura’s Chakra was like and could only use the dumbest way to search the surrounding desert for life signs.

More than half an hour later, Kyuubi discovered a weak life response under the desert west of Sunagakure. Sand Ninja dug the place where Kyuubi’s instructed to dig out Pakura, buried in the sand.

…………

Immediately after returning Pakura to Sunagakure, Sakura started treatment and finally saved Pakura’s life.

After a long time, Pakura slowly opened her eyes, still feeling dizzy. After a moment, Pakura remembered Gaara, her facial expression changed, and she struggled to get up from the bed.

Hearing a loud noise, everyone rushed immediately and saw that Pakura woke up, and everyone sighed in relief.

“Pakura, how do you feel?” Chiyo asked.

“Lord Chiyo? Why you … it doesn’t matter. Lord Chiyo, I’m going to rescue Gaara. He is captured by Sasori and a monster who throws clay bombs.”

Hearing Sasori’s name, Chiyo’s expression suddenly changed: “Hmph! That scoundrel! He really did it this time!”

“Lord Pakura, do you know in which direction they escaped?” Yamato asked.

Pakura turned her eyes to Yamato, only to discover the three people of Konoha.

After pondering, Pakura said, “I remember it was to the west.”

“So, the west? Naruto, Sakura, let’s go!”

Hearing Yamato said Naruto’s name, Pakura froze, then murmured to herself about the youngster with the Konoha headband, “He really changed a lot in more than two years.”

“Pakura, take care of your wounds and leave us to bring Gaara back! Captain Yamato, I will go with you.”

Yamato hesitated a bit, “Lord Chiyo, are you sure?”

“Haha! Rest assured, I’m not old enough to hinder your legs.”

“Lord Chiyo, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Let’s go!” Chiyo took the lead and left.

Yamato sighed and ordered Naruto and Sakura to follow.

……

Yamato’s entire group met Guy and his group as soon as they left Sunagakure. They were also ordered by Tsunade to support Sand Ninja.

Eight men moved in the direction Pakura told them.

………

At the same time, Akatsuki members gathered in a cave and were extracting Ichibi from Gaara’s body.

At this time, Shukaku and Gaara were fighting desperately, but unfortunately, all this was useless. After a few hours, Shukaku was eventually stripped from Gaara, and the soul was dragged into Gedō Mazō. His Chakra was also absorbed a little bit by Gedō Mazō.

At the crucial moment, a man and a woman chatted suddenly in the cave.

“Shisui, it’s so dark here! Why did they have to seal the Bijuu here?”

“Presumably because they don’t want to be found out by anyone!”

“Oh, that’s it!”

The two chatted, walking slowly towards the cave.

Nagato, hearing this snorted coldly, “Hmph! Uchiha Shisui? Sasori, Deidara you two stop him! Don’t forget …”

“Stop me? They can stop me?” Before Nagato’s words were finished, a series of afterimage flashed over and came to Gaara’s side. “It looks like the situation is not good!” Shisui said.

A green skull arm appeared around him. Shisui controlled the arm and hit fiercely where Nagato and Gaara were. Nagato sneered and ignored Shisui’s attack. Susanoo’s fist penetrated Nagato’s body and hit the stone wall of the cave.

“So the real body is not here! That’s it!” Shisui opened Mangekyō, and a green giant appeared, directly blocking Chakra from Akatsuki members.

“Ichibi’s soul and most of Chakra have been sealed. The rest are irrelevant, and there is no need to stand still here,” Konan said.

Nagato glanced at Shisui and said, “Deidara, Sasori, find a way to withdraw, and other people must leave first!”

After speaking, Nagato and Konan’s silhouette disappeared, the other people also left, leaving only Deidara and Sasori.

“Hey! Sasori-senpai, can we deal with this monster in front of us?”

Sasori shook his head and said, “According to Sunagakure, this Jutsu is called Susanoo, which is Uchiha Clan’s taboo Dojutsu. It is called the power of God. Don’t do anything useless. Find a way to escape!”
