Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 471

Rōran’s memory emerged from the depths of their mind. Because the memory had just been sealed, it didn’t mean that it’s missing or forgotten.

Reading this memory slowly, Kushina’s eyes were getting red, and Namikaze Minato’s feeling a little down. Yamanaka Ryo didn’t want to bother them… He came out of the room and stood at the door, waiting for the two to calm down.

After a long time, Namikaze Minato’s voice came from the room, “Ryo, sorry, I’ve kept you waiting.”

Yamanaka Ryo came in. They seemed calmed down, except that Kushina’s eyes were a little swollen because she cried.

“Ryo, you said before to let us return to Konoha, when exactly?”

Yamanaka Ryo estimated Pain’s attack on the village based on Obito’s previous information, “About two to three months from now when the protagonist appears, you should be there.”

“A protagonist appears? Who?”

Yamanaka Ryo did not answer Kushina’s question directly but explained the original manga, “I received an information a few days ago. It said that Akatsuki’s leader was going to attack Konoha to capture Kyuubi Jinchūriki.”

Yamanaka Ryo’s voice got lower as he finished his sentence. Namikaze Minato and Kushina’s expression instantly became hard.

“Don’t worry! Listen to me, besides the leader of Akatsuki, there are also Black White Zetsu, the masked man who attacked the village on Kyuubi night, and Ninja, who is good at Kami Ninjutsu.”

“That masked man will go too, and it seems the village is in trouble.”

Namikaze Minato was frightened by Obito, and when he heard that Obito was going to Konoha, he became more serious. Yamanaka Ryo laughed and said, “About the masked man, you don’t have to worry about Minato because the masked man is your disciple Uchiha Obito.”

“Obito! How is that possible? I obviously saw him being …”

“It was true that Obito was crushed by the boulder, but he was rescued by the real Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara healed him during that time and taught him how to use Ninjutsu, Sharingan, Inyoton… even helped Obito open Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito growth can be compared to a Jōnin even Village Kage. “

After listening to Yamanaka Ryo’s words, Namikaze Minato has calmed down. However, his expression shows that he still blames himself for what had happened. After a while, Minato sighed and said, “But, how did you know that he is Obito? Obito has sided with the opposite village, I…”

“Who said Obito sided with the opposite village? Minato-nii, during the night of Kyuubi, Obito made that kind of move because his memory was sealed, and Uchiha Madara tampered his memory to attack Konoha. I have helped Obito released the seal some time ago. Now he is the same Obito as before.”

Namikaze Minato was trembling with joy. Ryo could see how excited he was from his expression. It can be said that Obito was like a thorn in Namikaze Minato’s heart. For so many years, Namikaze Minato felt that the person he regretted most was Obito. Because his incompetence caused Obito to die at Kannabi Bridge.

Now that Obito was still alive, the thorn in Namikaze Minato’s heart was finally pulled out.

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and said, “Since the masked man is Obito, Akatsuki is not a threat to us at all. We can start and eliminate Akatsuki to end it all for good!”

Yamanaka Ryo shakes his head, “No, now it’s not the time. Actually, I plan to ask Akatsuki to collect the Bijuu.”

Namikaze Minato and Kushina glanced at each other for a moment and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

“Ryo, why? We obviously have the ability to end it all.”

“There are two reasons: First, I want to get the exact location of the Ōtsutsuki Clan from Kaguya. The existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan is a huge threat to Ninja World, and I want to help Ninja World completely solve this hidden danger. The second is for Pakura… I want to stay with her in a peaceful world. Can you imagine how much obstruction we will face as the higher-up of Konoha village and the Second-in-Command of Sunagakure to get together?”

“Oh, so that’s it …” Minato shook his head helplessly.

“So, I want Ninja World to come together as one to face this powerful enemy. When we can overcome this said enemy, people in Ninja World can understand each other, as Jiraiya uncle said. In that World, there will be no complaints about me and Pakura’s relationship…”

In fact, Yamanaka Ryo did not finish his sentence. He wanted to do so because of the relationship between Shikamaru and Temari in the original manga. They are Hokage consultants, and one is Kazekage’s elder sister. They have a pivotal position in their respective villages. But they are still together, and they are living happily. The fact of original manga is here, so he can certainly do it.

After listening to Yamanaka Ryo, Namikaze Minato lowered his head and thought for a long time. He then said, “Ryo, I support you! If you can resolve the Ōtsutsuki Clan matter, it will be a great thing for Ninja World, and Jiraiya sensei said he wants to see that World too.”

Kushina also smiled and said, “Ryo, you are my disciple. It’s my duty as your teacher to support you.”

They reached a consensus on this matter, and then their topic returned to the topic of Akatsuki’s attack on Konoha.

“Ryo, I remember that you mentioned Akatsuki before. Land of Rain’s Amegakure is independent, right? The leader seems to be the three disciples of Jiraiya sensei,” said Namikaze Minato.

Yamanaka Ryo nodded, “Well, it’s them. But the situation has changed a bit. Akatsuki was originally pulled up by three disciples of Uncle Jiraiya, but the former leader Yahiko was killed by Hanzō of the Salamander. Akatsuki’s leader becomes the remaining two other people: Nagato and Konan. Nagato owns Rinnegan and relies on Rinnegan’s power to kill Hanzō of the Salamander. He merges Amegakure and Akatsuki, and then cooperates with Obito to recruit S-rank missing-nin of various villages to form the current Akatsuki.”

“Ryo, at Orochimaru-senpai’s base, I teach Taijutsu to Genin members. There’s someone called Yahiko!” Namikaze Minato said suddenly.

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “It is indeed him. I resurrected Yahiko as well when I resurrected you. But I keep him for my plan. He shouldn’t meet Nagato now. After Akatsuki attacks the village, I will let him go back.”

“Ryo, how much do you do that I don’t know… it seems everything is already in your plan.”

“Hehe! It’s a secret!”

“What are you going to do specifically?”

“Let the village’s main fighting strength go first! Only in despair can the protagonist be a hero.”
