The Hokage Ryos Path
Chapter 138: Arriving at the Battlefield

After saying goodbye to Yugao, Ryo returns home and explains the situation to Chinse. Having nothing to say, he secretly packed up his son's luggage.

The next day, the Konoha Ninja gathers, with Orochimaru leading, and Minato and Ryo on his left and right. Team Kushina and Minato were right behind the three.

Orochimaru was not good at speaking; he was the type to show everything with his actions. Even so, the Konoha Ninja all respected him a lot.

With the mentioned lead, the Konoha Ninja begins to move in a great spectacle towards their decisive battle.

On the battlefield of the Wind Nation, Sakumo and Jiraya noticed the movement of the Stone and Sand, and they immediately deployed their troops to follow the two enemy camps to Kikyo Pass.

The two Konoha troops arrived there at the same time.

All the Konoha Kage tiers gathered in the tent discussed their next actions.

"Sakumo san, do you have any information to share with us?" ask Orochimaru.

Sakumo thought and said: “The only thing to note is the danger from the Sand Puppet Division, which we all know. The Hidden Stone seemed to have some movement in their camp recently, and it seemed that they were planning something big. Anyway, we have to be extra careful.”

After a brief exchange of information, everyone formed a general understanding of the enemy's strength as a whole. The next step is to assign the opponent.

The six Kage tiers in the camp were not too far from each other in terms of strength, with Sakumo and Minato being the stronger ones.

Sakumo proposes that he deal with Chiyo and Ebizo, and no one objects.

Minato also suggested that he take care of Onoki. The others are then divided: Orochimaru faces Bunpuku, Jiraya faces Rasa, Ryo confronts Kitsuchi, and Kushina confronts Han.

After the meeting, Ryo goes to see the medical team, and on the way, he leaves and takes Shisui. Sakumo on the other hand went to where Kakashi and his friends were.

Minato and Kushina went to contact the chief of the main clan around, while Jiraya remained with his old friend Orochimaru.

Ryo originally planned to arrange for Shisui to remain with the medical team. However, the team was suspended from the battlefield.

It was because Sand, upon Ebizo's arrival, always sent Ninja chasing the Konoha medical team. Sakumo was overwhelmed and could not defend them anymore, so he assigned them all to stay behind and provide support from the backline.

Therefore, Ryo had to place Shisui with the Uchiha clan.

The representative of the Uchiha clan on this battlefield was Fugaku Uchiha, an acquaintance of Ryo. The latter had no idea how Fugaku's power had developed over the past few years.

Ryo's perceptual ability far surpassed most, he felt danger well. Facing Fugaku, he could sense that this man in front of him was extremely dangerous.

Since the man in front of her should have already become a tier Kage quasi by now, Ryo's feeling that she was extremely dangerous could be explained by one thing, which was that Mangekyo Fugaku had awakened.

Mangekyo Fugaku did not get much attention in Manga, and its specific powers were not explained. However, there should at least be Amaterasu, who was already extremely strong.

Ryo was very curious about Mangekyo when he greeted her: "Fugaku san, I haven't seen you in a long time!"

“During not meeting Ryo! I've been getting news about your growth for the past few years. Your father would be so proud!” Fugaku turned around and smiled when he saw Ryo.

Ryo felt a little awkward, as he did not have the image of his father. He went on to discuss the matter of Shisui: "Fugaku san, can you take care of my disciple, Uchiha Shisui?"

“Uchiha Shisui? You accept an Uchiha as a disciple?” Fugaku said with a bit of surprise

"Yes! Shisui, come in and say hello!” Ryo nodded, then let Shisui in.

Hearing Ryo, Shisui rushed in.

He had heard the discussion between the two just now, and had never expected his Sensei to have such a good relationship with the man who became the next future head of the Uchiha clan.

Although she had some doubts, Shisui was smart enough not to ask about what she did not need to know. He saluted the older ones: “Halo, Fugaku san! It's nice to meet you!"

“Well, you came at the right time! My son, Itachi, will be here in a few days. When that happens, you can get a companion! ” Fugaku said with a smile.

Hearing Itachi's name, Ryo smiled, and couldn't wait to meet him. After all, he was a man that Ryo practically adored in his past life.

After resolving Shisui's matter, Ryo started installing his Teleportation Seal in several important places, and waited for the battle to begin.

On the other hand, Jiraya bragged to Orochimaru about her new book. The latter was surprised to see Jiraya start writing. After reading a few pages, he felt it was stupid, and stopped reading.

As in Manga, the book "Truely Brave Shinobi Stories" is a summer of jiraya hopes and ambitions.

It was a pity that the writing style was not as good as back then, almost no one liked it, and no one came to sign it upon release.

Orochimaru was obviously not interested in the novel, but because of his friendship, he did not mock Jiraya.

Another interesting conversation that occurred was during the meeting of the father of the child between Sakumo and Kakashi. Facing his father after such a long time, Kakashi's cold facade instantly collapsed.

Their discussion is very simple. The two mostly asked each other about their current situation. Sakumo specifically asked about his wife. Hearing Kakashi say that he is fine, Sakumo feels relieved.

Then both went for backup. Kakashi's progress during that time was not small, but facing White Fang Konoha, he could only be defeated easily.

At the end of the fight, Kakashi felt that his father was too strong. He originally thought that his strength was expanding enough to make the gap between them less clear.

This battle, with the growth of his own strength, Kakashi realizes the gap between him and his father. He felt far away.

But Sakumo was very satisfied with his son's progress. He himself was not that strong at Kakashi's age. He felt happiest knowing that his son was growing and developing.
