The Hokage Ryos Path
Chapter 53: Flavor’s Might

Sakumo and Chiyo are old rivals, and are familiar with the strength and methods of fighting each other.

Sakumo was supposed to have a slight edge in his overall strength, but Chiyo's skill with using Chakra threads to control the puppets was not something to be underestimated.

After all, he was also a quasi-Kage level ninja. With his incredible puppet mastery, Sakumo could not land a punch on him.

On the other hand, what was more spectacular was Jiraya's fight against the 4th Kazekage.

Taste has a Kekkei Genkai release magnet. The manga does not show what releases were combined to obtain the Magnet Element, but Ryo speculates that it is a blend of wind and thunder properties. (Translator's Note: By elimination, one can speculate that it is actually a fusion of the release of wind and earth, since Sense has the release of Wind, Earth, and Water in addition to its Magnet and Yin release capabilities. See Narutopedia for more info.)

A person as strong as a Kage must have more than just the ability to use one attribute of nature. Most elites actually have 2 or more.

Naturally, the 4th was no exception. From the use of his Magnet release, Ryo can tell that he at least has control over thunder and wind.

Just like his opponent, Jiraya understood more than most people about Ninjutsu. He inherited the 3rd mastery that had his own perfect technique.

It is difficult to predict the outcome of the fight. With the exception of the Thunder Element, Jiraya was the master of all other natural transformations. But the 4th Kazekage is also outstanding in Ninjutsu.

“I did not expect that the 3rd disciple would become this great ninja. If we fight elsewhere, it won't be easy for me to defeat you!” rasa Kata.

"You mean because we're in the desert, you'll be able to easily defeat me?" Jiraya is able to measure the level of her enemy during a fight, and she knows that she should not be able to defeat him unless she enters her wise mode.

“Do you not have their Hyuga and Byakugan clans? Did they not see anything different with the desert sand?” The sand controlled by Rasa rushed towards Jiraya.

“You control sand? Then you are Ichibi Jinchuriku? No, you don't have a seal on your body.” Jiraya did not pay much attention to the sand moving towards her, and only made an Earth Style Wall to protect herself.

"What!" The wall was easily destroyed by the waves of sand. Jiraya looked like she was about to lose when she was injured by the sand pouring down on her.

"Jiraya, it's over!" The 4th Kazekage declared victory and wanted to finish off his opponent.

Just as Jiraya was hit, she activated one of Ryo's healing stones. The 4th Kazekage also launched the Class B Wind Element Jutsu. With the help of the healing stone, the damage taken from it can be controlled. So Jiraya was able to dodge the fatal blow of the 4th Kazekage.

“[Call]” Jiraya needs to recover a little from her injury. Gamabunta will help to hold the Taste.

“Gamabunta, be careful! This guy's sand is heavier than usual.”

"Oh, I won't be a useless person like you!" The words of Gamabunta cannot be far from the truth. Actually, Kazekage raised his vigilance. His years of fighting experience made him understand that Jiraya was doing something special.

“Is that his call? As rumored, it is a giant red toad!”

On the battlefield, the Konoha Ninja is morally low as a wounded Jiraya sees Gamabunta and regains the will to fight.

Ryo asks his team to work to cure the poisoned and wounded Konoha Ninja, while sneaking into battle.

Konoha did not win. It is true that the overall level of the Konoha Ninja is superior to the Sand as Sakumo said. But in this environment, both sides became almost equal in strength.

In terms of numbers, Konoha has their medical team in the field, along with over 8000 ninjas fighting. But Pasir village has more than 12,000 people.

It was very clear to Ryo that if Sakumo or Jiraya were defeated in this battle, Konoha's forces would be massacred. Among them, there were nearly 300 of the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance.

A moment ago, Ryo saw Jiraya use [Summoning] to bring Gamabunta to the battlefield. He was thinking of using it to bring in Gamahiro. This would not only help defeat the 4th Kazekage, it might also attract the attention of Jiraya who gave him time to recover.

It was impossible for Ryo to just sit and watch. He must fight for the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance, and also for Jiraya.

When he came to the battlefield, he found Jiraya buried under the sands of the 4th Kazekage. He activated his Sharingan and discovered that while his head was on the Sand, his arms below were raised with palms facing each other. He was clearly trying to enter Sage Mode.

Golden dust Flavors are made of sand mixed with gold particles. For that reason, the sand was much heavier and much more destructive than ordinary sand. There was no way for Gamabunta to defeat such a powerful attack, so he only gave support to Jiraya.

“Hiro! Please, the target is Sand Ninja!”

"Good!" The gamahiro is a true warhead. He would never give up the opportunity to show off his skills.

He was like a wolf among the sheep, he rushed into the crowd and raised his pair of short swords and swept over them. The Sand Ninja panicked and used all sorts of Ninjutsu to attack him.

However Ryo enters the Ice-Lightning Chakra mode. Occasionally, he would blink and use his Chakra scalpel to slit the necks of his enemies while avoiding their large-scale Jutsu.

The 4th noticed him along with Gamahiro and how they killed 4 Jonin and somehow how many Chunin.

He couldn't bear to let Ryo kill so many Sand ninjas. This was the 3rd mysterious fighter that was approaching the level of a Kage. So Kasa distracts her from Jiraya and rushes to attack Ryo.

“You're gone? I'm done getting ready to take you!" Of course, Jiraya would never let Rasa attack Ryo, she ended up going into Sage Mode.

“The first time you called us, it was a terrible place ?!” Shima complained.

“Ma, Jiraya Chan may have no other choice. No need to get angry. So Jiraya Chan, who's your opponent? Why do you need us?” Fukasaku.

“Bos Ne-sama, I'm really sorry. This time I faced the 4th Kazekage. I can't beat him without your help.”

As the three were chatting, Sasa launched an attack. He was so eager to take Ryo that he wanted to finish Jiraya off immediately.

The golden dust turned into waves and went quickly towards Jiraya "This sand has gold in it?" Fukasaku could see the essence of Taste's attack with his perception.

He once again used the Earth Release Wall to contain it. But this time, he was infused with the Senjutsu Chakra which greatly strengthened his strength, thus being able to hold the golden dust back.

The 4th Kazekage looked at Jiraya in awe seeing the 2 toads on his shoulders. He formed a seal and the golden sand on the ground began to surround Jiraya.

“[Sand Pig], [Sand Funeral]!” The tremendous pressure created by the sand puts Jiraya in trouble.

“Jiraya chan, make Oil in bulk!” Said Shima!

“[Senpo: Goemon]!” The gold dissolves due to the extremely high temperature, and the sand also turns into a solid clear crystal.
