Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 439

Terumi Mei was a little shaken.

However, this was the matter of the ninja sword summon scroll and a large amount of money. So, she didn’t want to bow down. She hesitated for a long time before saying, “Yamanaka Ryo, can you go out first? I want to discuss it with Ao. “

“Of course. I will wait for you outside.”

After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo pushed open the door and walked out.

As soon as Yamanaka Ryo left, Terumi Mei asked, “Ao, what’s going on in Konoha?”

Ao said with a bitter smile, “Mizukage-sama, what I said about the situation in Konoha is true. The people in the village are protected by Tsunade’s summoned beast Katsuyu. The medical ninja has promptly rescued them. The damage should be minimal.”

“As for the Mokuton Ninja, she is just like Senju Hashirama of the year. The Mokuton used can absorb Bijuu’s Chakra and quickly suppress Rokubi. The terrifying thing is that she knows Sage Mode. “

“Sage Mode? Are you sure?”

Ao nodded and continued, “Yes! When Mokuton Ninja used Mokuton, the face appeared similar to the village records of Senju Hashirama’s Sage Mode face.”

“Is that Mokuton Ninja in Sage Mode? Oh! Doesn’t that mean she has the power of Senju Hashirama back then?”

Ao thought about it and then said, “It can’t be. According to the village’s information, the Wood Dragon of Senju Hashirama is ten meters long. The Wood Dragon of this Mokuton Ninja is only a few meters. Judging from this point, she should be far less powerful than the Senju Hashirama.”

Terumi Mei let a sigh of relief after hearing this.

However, Ao’s next sentence silenced her again, “Although she’s not as strong as Senju Hashirama right now, she looks like she’s only 17 or 18 years old, she may be stronger in the future.”

It took a long time for Terumi Mei to recover before she said with a serious expression, “Ao, if we join forces with the other three Great Ninja Villages, will there be a chance to kill this Mokuton Ninja?”

Ao was taken aback by Terumi Mei’s idea and quickly stopped it, “Mizukage-sama, calm down. There is no way we can join forces with other Ninja Village right now.”

“Why? Will the other Ninja Villages tolerate the appearance of the next Senju Hashirama?”

“Of course, the Stone Ninja and Cloud Ninja wouldn’t, but the Sand Ninja might be. Mizukage-sama, according to our information, Sunagakure’s consultant Elder Pakura and Yamanaka Ryo have a special relationship. Although there is Rasa present, it is difficult to ensure that the Sand Ninja and we are on the same page.”

Terumi Mei’s face became more ugly when she heard this.

After a moment, she sighed and said, “Rasa is no longer there. We need to look at it ourselves!” Terumi Mei said and handed Ao a scroll.

Ao opened it up and took a quick look “Mizukage-sama, now it’s even more impossible to make a move on Konoha. Sunagakure is Pakura’s call. Even if we join forces with the three Ninja Village, with Konoha and Sand Ninja join forces, we still can’t deal with them.”

“Damn it! Is it only possible that we have to compromise with Konoha?”

After a moment of hesitation, Ao said, “Actually, not necessarily. There should be other ways to solve this matter.”

“Other ways? What is it?”

Ao whispered his idea to Terumi Mei, who brightened up and agreed to Ao’s solution after a moment of thought.

...........

After the two discussed, Ao went outside and called Yamanaka Ryo in.

Yamanaka Ryo glanced at Terumi Mei’s expression and said with a smile, “It seems that Mizukage-sama has already made up his mind.”

“I can agree to your conditions, but we also have conditions.”

“Tell me about it.” Yamanaka Ryo said with interest.

Terumi Mei showed a smile.

It was true that Ao said Konoha had no intention of going to war but just wanted some money to make up for the loss.

“My condition is simple. First, let your sister-in-law hand over the instruction to use the ninja sword summon scroll. Second, go to Kumogakure and get us the ninja sword summon scroll.”

After hearing Terumi Mei’s words, Yamanaka Ryo finally understood the purpose of Kirigakure’s coming to Konoha. They had already determined where the ninja sword summon scroll was, but they did not know how to use the ninja sword summon scroll. So, they went to the Yamanaka Clan to get the instruction to use the ninja sword summon scroll from his sister-in-law.

For Konoha, the use of ninja sword summon scroll was completely worthless. It didn’t matter if it was given to the Mist Ninja. Still, if it fell in Kumogakure’s hand, Yamanaka Ryo’s heart refused. He didn’t want to step on this muddy water.

Upon thinking of this, Yamanaka Ryo said, “I can agree to the first condition, but I’m sorry, I refuse the second condition!”

Ao had already guessed that Yamanaka Ryo would refuse. He then gave Terumi Mei a wink, and Terumi Mei said, “If you disagree, I can cancel the second condition. However, the first condition needs to be changed. We hope you can find all the instructions to use the ninja sword summon scroll.”

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “It seems that you have already made arrangements over Kumogakure. You have absolute confidence in getting back the ninja sword summon scroll! I’ll give you a hand, I agree with your conditions, but the time is...”

“Time doesn’t matter. As long as you tell us how to use the part of the ninja sword summon scroll that your sister-in-law knows, we’ll give the money to Konoha right away. At the same time, we will not harass your sister-in-law again.”

“Good, then our deal is made. After going back, I will immediately send a person, and I’ll let your people bring back the instruction for using the ninja sword summon scroll, so goodbye!”

After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo figure disappeared.

...........

After Yamanaka Ryo left, Terumi Mei sat down on a chair and said breathlessly, “That’s enough, right?”

Ao nodded and said, “With that, our purpose has been achieved. As for the little money, if Yamanaka Ryo can help us find the full instructions to use ninja sword summon scroll, the amount of money given to Konoha is acceptable.”

“Well! Then we’ll wait for good news from Yamanaka Ryo. Let’s hope he won’t let us down.”

.........

In Konoha village, Yamanaka Clan, Yamanaka Inoichi was looking at the gate outside anxiously.

Yamanaka Ryo had gone to Kirigakure, and Yamanaka Inoichi had been sitting on the edge of his seat for a while, afraid that something might happen to Yamanaka Ryo.

Yamanaka Ryo was very aware of Yamanaka Inoichi’s concerns, so he directly teleported back to Yamanaka Clan and planned to explain the situation to Yamanaka Inoichi first.

After seeing Yamanaka Ryo returned safely, Yamanaka Inoichi was relieved.

Yamanaka Ryo then told Yamanaka Inoichi about the purpose of Kirigakure’s coming to Konoha and the deal reached with Terumi Mei.

After hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi had no comment. It was enough for him to protect his family and his wife.

After that, Yamanaka Ryo asked how to use the ninja sword summon scroll from his sister-in-law. He then teleported to Hokage’s Office and told Hatake Sakumo what happened.

After Hatake Sakumo balanced the pros and cons, he finally agreed.

After finalizing the issue of Kirigakure, Hatake Sakumo handed Yamanaka Ryo a scroll and said, “Tomorrow Iwagakure’s people are coming. You and Kakashi will be in charge of welcoming them.”
