Hokage: Ryo’s Path

On the second day after Namikaze Minato returned from Konoha, Yamanaka Ryo and his party left Orochimaru's base, and Shisui led the way to the passage to the moon.

The passage connecting the moon In order to prevent being discovered by people in the ninja world, the Otsutsuki family on the moon deliberately built the passage in a very remote place in the ninja world.

It's just that for some unknown reason, the puppets of the Otsutsuki clan left the passage and wreaked havoc on the nearby villages.

The villages where they lived were destroyed in a large area, and the villagers of these villages had no choice but to raise funds and release an A-level mission in Konoha.

Hatake Sakumo sent Shisui and another elite Jōnin from Anbu to carry out this task.

These dozen or so puppets are too weird, their combat power is equivalent to that of ordinary Jonin, and they can't be killed at all. No matter how many times they are destroyed, they will be infinitely restored.

Shisui and Anbe's companions did not understand the puppet's intelligence, and suffered a great loss. In the end, Anbu's companions sacrificed to cover Shisui's evacuation, and Shisui awakened Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

After many years of these things, Zhishui is still vivid in his mind, Zhongshan Zhongyuan can still hear the deep hatred in his tone when he told Yamanakato and others.

"Shimizu, are the puppets still in action after you left?" Namikaze Minato asked.

"I don't know about this either. After I came back, the teacher asked Mr. Shuo Mao to issue a gag order."

After listening to Shishui's words, everyone turned their attention to Shan Zhongyuan.

"As far as I know, after Zhishui came back, those puppets have restrained a lot, and they are no longer wreaking havoc on the surrounding villages, but they are still wandering around these villages.

When I left the village, I asked Uncle Shuo Mao, but now I guess those puppets are still there! "Yan Zhongyuan told everyone what he knew.

"According to what Yuan said before, these puppets are controlled by the Otsuki clan on the moon, and the Otsuki clan on the moon is now holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the ninja world.

So I speculate that the purpose of these puppets is not to destroy the village, but to look for something. "Based on the above information, Minato Namikaze expressed his conjecture.

"I think so too, there must be someone or something missing on the moon." Ryo Yamanaka also agreed.

"And the lost person or thing must be very important, so important that the Otsutsuki clan on the moon will expose themselves to find it!" Namikaze Minato added.

"Since this is the case, let's speed up! Get there first, with Yuan's spiritual power and immortal mode, we have an advantage over those puppets in finding things."

After hearing the words, everyone speeded up, and after walking for half a day, they arrived at the village where Zhishui was carrying out his mission.

"Teacher, Master Minato, this is the place!" Zhishui pointed to the village in the distance.

Yamanakato nodded and entered the fairy mode, using the fairy mode to enhance perception, everything around was "seen" by Yamanakato.

After some inspection, Yamanakato found that there was nothing unusual around him, they were all ordinary villagers, and there was no chakra on him.

As for those puppets, because there is no life, Yamanakato's fairy mode can't perceive them naturally.

Yamanaka told everyone what he had sensed, and everyone was not surprised when they heard the words. If it was so easy to find, those puppets would not have been wandering here for several years.

"Let's go to the village first! Get to know the villagers." Lingyin suggested.

"That's fine, it's better than we have no idea and wait." Namikaze Minato agreed.

So Shan Zhongyuan and his party came directly to the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Zhishui looked at the situation in the village a little strangely. When he came before, everyone in the village was in danger. No one dared to go out during the day, for fear of being hurt by those puppets.

But now the life of the villagers has obviously returned to normal. Those puppets are still there, why aren't the villagers afraid?

Yamanakato, Namikaze Minato, and Suzune also found it very strange. All three of them have practiced the immortal mode and are very sensitive to natural energy. When they entered the village just now, they found that the natural energy in the village was obviously much stronger than outside.

It stands to reason that except for the three holy places and some places with special geographical environment, because of the continuous circulation of natural energy, the concentration of natural energy is similar in all places.

There is nothing special about the terrain of this village, but the natural energy is so rich, it is obvious that there is something wrong.

After Yamanakato and Namikaze Minato exchanged glances, the two closed their eyes and walked towards the area with the strongest natural energy, while Shisui and Suzune were cautious.

A few minutes later, Yamanaka Ryo and Namikaze Minato stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wooden house.

Yamanaka Ryo winked at Shisui, Shisui drew out his dagger, and walked slowly to the door.

"What do you want to do?" Before Zhishui had time to knock on the door, a nearby villager came over with a hoe.

Seeing this, Zhishui curled his lips and stopped what he was doing.

Yamanaka Ryo didn't want to have any conflicts with the civilians. After thinking about it, he said: "Well, sir, we are ninjas passing by. I just felt something abnormal in this house, so I want to check it out."

After hearing that a few people were ninjas, the attitude of the villagers improved a lot. After all, as far as ordinary villagers are concerned, ninjas possess great power, which makes them feel an instinctive sense of fear.

The villagers carefully looked at Yamanaka Ryo and the others, then looked at the house and said, "No need, our village is very good! Don't dare to trouble Mr. Ninja."

The attitude of the villagers made Yamanakato and Namikaze Minato even more certain that there must be something tricky in the house.

After the two looked at each other, Namikaze Minato nodded and showed his signature smile, and said kindly: "Old man, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions. That's it! We won't go in, old man, let him come out, we just Want to talk to the people in the house."

Compared to Yamanaka Ryo, Namikaze Minato is obviously more friendly. His smile made the villagers relax a lot, but he still refused to let go.

"Teacher, it's not the way to go on like this. It's better to use illusion." Shisui was a little impatient, Yamanaka Ryo didn't want to waste time, Namikaze Minato frowned, and agreed after a moment of consideration.

Shisui used the simplest illusion to put the villagers into a deep sleep, but he drew out his dagger again and approached the house.

"Kukou—" Zhishui gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it!" A crisp female voice came from inside the door. The female voice was a little out of breath, and Yamanaka Ryo judged that the woman inside was probably injured.

Shan Zhongyuan and others did not answer, and there was no sound in the room. After a few minutes, footsteps came from the room, and the door was opened after a while.

Everyone looked at the woman who opened the door in surprise, especially Ryo Yamanaka, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
