Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 563

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and asked, “A different person? Is there any change?”

Obito, who was at the side, heard this and said, “Of course there is. The feeling that your temperament gives people has indeed changed.”

“Not only his temperament, but his chakra has also changed. Kurama sensed that Ryo’s chakra had also become cold. It should be his ice release.” Namikaze Minato said.

“My chakra has not been integrated with ice release, but the ice element and my body are more compatible.

Well, let’s stop talking about me... Minato nii-san, please call the others over. I will go to Uncle Snake and prepare to leave.”

Namikaze Minato nodded, and his figure disappeared from the third training ground.

Yamanaka Ryo directly teleported to Orochimaru.

.......

At this time, Orochimaru was in the laboratory cloning Itachi’s body. After the end of the Ninja War, Yamanaka Ryo asked Orochimaru to clone Itachi’s body. However, during the process of cloning, Orochimaru found that Itachi’s genes were hidden with Kekkei Genkai disease.

This disease would slowly appear along with the use of the Sharingan, and when Mangekyou was opened, it was basically already beyond cure.

Orochimaru had studied Kekkei Genkai disease for a long time, and he had spent a lot of effort to study it for Kimimaro.

Unfortunately, Kekkei Genkai had something to do with genes. Orochimaru had studied it for a long time, but he still could not solve it. Later, he got the scroll from Fugaku and his wife, which suppresses Kekkei Genkai disease. Only then did he save Kimimaro’s life.

Now, seeing Kekkei Genkai for the second time in Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru’s competitive heart was aroused. For more than a month, Orochimaru had locked himself in the laboratory to find a way to solve Kekkei Genkai disease.

“Hey, Uncle Snake, are you still studying Kekkei Genkai?” Yamanaka Ryo appeared in the laboratory and greeted Orochimaru.

“Well, this disease is really troublesome, and I don’t dare to change it when it comes to genes. Once some of the arrangements in the genes are changed, the clone should not be Uchiha Itachi!”

“Indeed, something like genes, if you change a little, the clone will not be this person.”

“Right, in fact, Itachi is not the only one in the Uchiha clan who has Kekkei Genkai disease. According to my observation, there are about half of the Uchiha clan members who have this disease. However, they do not have the opportunity to open Mangekyou. This disease will at most cause some discomfort to the body when they use the Sharingan. It will not be too much of a problem for them.”

Orochimaru frowned: “Are there so many people in the Uchiha clan who are suffering from a blood disease? Why? Aren’t they the descendants of Rikudou Sennin? There should be no problem with their blood lineage, right?”

“The Uchiha clan is indeed the descendants of Rikudou Sennin, but their blood lineage has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is diluted. Now such a problem can be said to be caused by the thinning of blood lineage, so it is actually very simple to solve this Kekkei Genaki disease.”

Hearing this, Orochimaru understood what Yamanaka Ryo meant, “Eternal Mangekyou’s Sharingan? Two pairs of Mangekyou, eye power, and bloodline fusion it is indeed a good method... But there are too few people who can use this treatment method. From the Warring States period to today, the number of hands that can open Mangekyou can be counted, let alone the two brothers who can open Mangekyou together.”

“But other people don’t need to treat his disease! This disease is not a fatal threat to others, and there will be no big impact in life. It can be completely ignored.”

Orochimaru shook his head.

Obviously, Yamanaka Ryo had not reached an agreement with him, but Orochimaru did not continue to pester him about this problem. Instead, he asked: “Ryo, what’s wrong with you recently? It seems that you have changed a lot.”

“This is actually because my body has higher compatibility with the ice elements. The various skills of my body gradually become closer to the state of ice, so it makes people feel that it has changed so much.”

“You won’t turn into ice one day, will you?”

“Don’t worry! This state is controllable.” After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo controlled his body to stop this change and returned to his previous appearance.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want his most important friend to turn into an ice cube one day.

“Alright, Uncle Snake, let’s put this aside for now! Let’s get down to business. We’re going to Otsutsuki’s clan.”

Orochimaru’s expression immediately became excited: “Are we finally leaving? Don’t be so busy. You promised me before.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll bring back a few more corpses of Otsutsuki’s clansmen.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Yes, but before that, I still need you to provide some technical assistance.”

“Technical assistance? What do you want?”

“You can extract White Zetsu’s Chakra and some Hashirama’s cells.”

Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out a seal scroll from his mouth. He wiped it with his sleeve and threw it to Yamanaka Ryo. Then he squatted down in the cabinet under the microscope, found an arm, and handed it to Yamanaka Ryo.

Yamanaka Ryo put away the scroll and arm, waved to Orochimaru, and then teleported back to Konoha.

Orochimaru watched Yamanaka Ryo leave and muttered to himself: “Ryo, I wish you success!”

........

Konoha, 3rd training ground.

Lain, Obito, Shisui, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hana were all there. Of course, Otsutsuki Ryushiki, whose will had been tampered with, was also standing on the side.

After Yamanaka Ryo came back, he glanced at the crowd and found that there was no figure of Namikaze Minato. He asked curiously, “Where is Minato nii-san?”

“Sensei has gone to the Four Great Ninja Village to get the grenades I asked them to make. He should be back soon.”

Just as Obito finished speaking, Namikaze Minato’s figure appeared in front of everyone. He took out seven sealing scrolls from his ninja backpack and sent them to everyone except for Otsutsuki Ryushiki.

Yamanaka Ryo took the scroll and opened it to take a look. He said in surprise, “The efficiency is good. They actually did so much.”

Namikaze Minato nodded. “I didn’t expect them to work so hard either.”

“Alright, we’ve already gotten the road. It’s time for us to go.”

After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo directly brought them to Kaguya’s space.

.......

After Kaguya sensed their arrival, she immediately opened the passage without the slightest hesitation. Yamanaka Ryo directly led a group of people into the passage to the Otsutsuki clan.

“Eh? This passage is not ordinary! The people who built the passage have very high attainments in space-time Ninjutsu. Every node has folded space, and it is really amazing.” Namikaze Minato praised.

Unfortunately, other than Obito and Yamanaka Ryo, the rest of the people did not have the talent of space-time ninjutsu, and they did not understand what Namikaze Minato said.

Everyone continued to move forward...

After walking for about two hundred meters, a light appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Ryo hurriedly said, “Everyone, the Otsutsuki clan should be in front. According to Kaguya, the Otsutsuki clan does not have any experts guarding the transmission center, but it does not rule out the unexpected situation. Everyone, be alert and prepare to fight.”
