Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 468

As soon as Sasuke mentioned the eyes, Deidara’s expression immediately expressed a hideous look.

Deidara began pursuing his art when he was young, and as he often said, art is an explosion! ꟷIn Deidara’s opinion, nothing is important except his own art. But the art he practiced so hard was defeated by Sharingan.

Even he himself admitted the beauty of the Sharingan. For the first time in his life, he agreed that there was something beautiful other than an explosion.

But the Uchiha ignored his art; that would be the same as ignoring his obsession with explosions. Those eyes do not have explosions in them. So, Deidara has a hatred for that, or rather a hatred of the Uchiha family’s Sharingan, the “eyes that ignore their art”. Because of this, once he heard Sasuke’s info, Deidara would rush over regardless of everything to prove his art.

But just now, Sasuke’s words once again reminded Deidara of that day. Coincidentally, at this moment, Sasuke looked at him with the same calm demeanor as Itachi at that time. There was no trace of fear and surprise in his expression.

“Uchiha clan sharingan, d.a.m.n it! My art is not so simple!” Deidara said as he untied his robes, revealing the strange pattern on his chest and then biting the threads on the chest pattern with his mouth in the center of his hand.

Sasuke frowned and muttered to himself, “Is that a mouth? It’s the same as the one on his palm!”

Deidara sneered and stuffed a large amount of explosive clay into the mouth on his chest. As the explosive clay was ingested, Deidara’s body gradually turned black.

Deidara called the clay dragon to the ground. Its body also gradually became transparent as he fell. The core of the chest that swallowed a large amount of explosive clay became darker.

Sasuke did not know what Deidara wanted to do. Still, his intuition told him that Deidara was now very dangerous, so he must immediately escape.

Unfortunately, it’s too late…

Deidara smiled and said: “Itachi, sorry! I want you to see it! THE ART IS TO EXPLODE! Un!“

With the detonation of Deidara, white light burst from the core, which quickly expanded into a pentagram and then burst out towards the surroundings.

The ma.s.sive burst of wind instantly swept everything around. Sasuke was running away. He gritted his teeth and made a seal with both hands, ready to bring out the ten thousand snakes to use it as a shield from the explosion.

Just as he made the seal, the surrounding s.p.a.ce suddenly appeared in a burst of ice fog; everything that the ice fog touched became frozen.

With the spread of the ice fog, the explosion was stopped. At the center of the explosion, where Deidara was, because the explosion of clay did not completely explode, the body was not blown apart, saving his life.

Sasuke looked around a little confused and then carefully reached out to touch the frozen s.p.a.ce.

Sasuke’s hand just touched the ice, and the next second, Sasuke was frozen into ice sculpture as well as Deidara.

……….

“How can children nowadays be so careless? Did he not recognize me when his hand touched the fog? What do you think?”

Coming out of nowhere from the blank s.p.a.ce, the ghost-like ice figures in front of him were taking form…

A few moments later, the ice fog completely formed. Obito helplessly said, “Ryo, you have gotten stronger.”

That’s right, the ice fog is just the perfect fusion of the Rinnegan and Korin’s power with the Hyoton from Yamanaka Ryo.

Yamanaka Ryo pointed to his eyes and smiled and said: “After all, I have awakened these eyes.”

Obito noticed that Yamanaka Ryo’s pupils no longer have a Sharingan but a circle of ripples with ice blue color in the pupil. “Ryo, is that your Rinnegan?”

Yamanaka Ryo nodded, “More than a year ago, I found a way to open the Rinnegan. For a whole year, I’ve been in Uncle Snake’s base to open the Rinnegan.”

“I doubt that! Ryo, the eye color of the Rinnegan should be purple. Why is yours ice blue?” Obito pursued.

“It’s because I combined chakra from the eyes with my Chakra, Hyoton.”

“Combined with yours? Why do you need to combine it with Hyoton? You have Korin, right? And you have Sharingan, according to what Uchiha said, you should be able to turn into Rikudo mode, right?”

“Well, indeed I can, but I think this is more suitable for me. The power of this state of mine now should be stronger than when I use the Rikudo mode.”

“So that’s the case, then can you deal with Kaguya-hime with your power now? If you don’t have confidence, it’s better not to risk it. Now let’s go and finish off the Akatsuki, seal that black robe guy, and end it for good.” Said Obito.

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Obito, now I am enough to seal Kaguya-Hime. Even if I can’t kill her, there’s still Naruto and Sasuke.”

“Naruto and Sasuke?”

“Yes, the two of them are the reincarnation of Rikudou Sennin’s sons Asura and Indra, the Rikudo Sennin will help them when they’re in trouble… And my goal has always been not Kaguya-hime, but the Otsutsuki clan behind Kaguya-hime. This family has always been a threat to the Shin.o.bi world.”

Obito sighed and said, “You are still stubborn as always. Okay then, do what you want to do. By the way, there is one more thing. Nagato is planning to raid the village. What will you do?”

“Me? I plan to watch the show, of course! Nagato’s attack on the most handsome protagonist of this era. I am only responsible for protecting the safety of the people in the village, so the rest will be left to the protagonist!”

“Protagonist? Who is the protagonist?” Obito asked, feeling a little strange.

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “When the time comes, you will know. Well, you go first! Leave Deidara and Sasuke to me.”

“Hmm.” Obito nodded, entered the Kamui, and left.

……….

After Obito left, Yamanaka Ryo snapped his fingers. The ice in the frozen s.p.a.ce instantly dissipated, leaving only Deidara and Sasuke in the frozen state.

Yamanaka Ryo walked to the side of Deidara, ready to bring him along to teleport to Orochimaru’s Otogakure. Before leaving, he undid the ice that sealed Sasuke.

When people are frozen, they only remember the moment before they were frozen. As soon as the ice lifted, Sasuke hurriedly tapped the hand that was about to touch the ice.

“Huh? How come there is no ice? I clearly remember…”

Just as Sasuke was examining his right hand, he heard a voice from a distance and saw 3 silhouettes shouting his name. The explosion just now made them worried, so they rushed to find him.

Sasuke sighed and shouted at the three, “I’m here!”

The three heard Sasuke’s voice and immediately ran to him.

“Sasuke, are you okay?” Karin asked with concern.

“I’m fine! Did you guys see someone over there when you came?” Sasuke asked, pointing to the center of the explosion.

“What? No. There is only a huge crater. Maybe you’re just seeing things!” Suigetsu said.

Sasuke froze. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene before being frozen. According to his memory, he did see Deidara was frozen too. But there was neither Deidara nor ice in front of him.

Sasuke was a little confused for a while.
