Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 39: Kyuubi!

“Ryo, don’t you want to meet the Kyuubi?”

Ryo was shocked by Kushina’s proposal, and he said subconsciously, “This is not good

Ne-san!”

“What’s the matter? It’s taking you a long time to say you don’t want to see it!” Kushina

rushed Ryo.

“Ah, yeah let me meet him!” Ryo was still really interested in the Kyuubi. At just half

strength, the great fox was able to beat 5 other Biju.

“I knew you wouldn’t refuse!”

Ryo was embarrassed and scratched his head.

“Well then, now my mind will enter the Kyuubi seal, and yours will follow using your

Yamanaka techniques.” Ryo nodded, and his consciousness entered Kushina’s body.

Under Kushina’s guidance, Ryo successfully entered the 9 tail seal.

Kushina’s seal was similar to that of Naruto from the inside. She took Ryo to the gate

of the Kyuubi’s cage.

It was the same gate as in the Manga, but the seal on it was gone.

Kushina passed through one of the gaps in the cage and climbed onto one of the nine

tails. The Kyuubi actually turned a blind eye to her behavior!

“Hey, I came to see you again Kyuubi!” Kushina was being ignored by Kurama, so she

started pulling on one of his other tails.

“Ne-san be careful, get out of there!” After seeing the Kyuubi, Ryo nally

understood

what the world was so afraid of.

He might be as prideful as he was depicted in the Manga, but the drawing fails to

transmit his might! In his presence, Ryo was being smothered by the terrifying

atmosphere that his immense power creates.

When Kushina and Ryo came in to see the Kyuubi, he didn’t even look at them. But just

his breaths were enough to make Ryo tremble.

“Well, what’s wrong Ryo? Didn’t you say the people and Biju could live together

peacefully?”

Ryo looked at the careless Kushina jumping up and down on the Kyuubi’s tails. How

strong and fearless can one be? No wonder Naruto had such a character. Ryo sighed

again cursing genetics.

“Kushina, enough already. Now you don’t just come to bother me, you bring a little brat

along with you?!” Kurama was so annoyed by Kushina’s behavior.

With all his power, he was still helpless. He can’t kill her, for if she dies, he dies.

Scolding her is of no use, he’s never seen such a shameless person.

Not so long ago, she came in and removed the seals she had on him, saying that

humans and Biju could live together in peace.

“Hey brat, you’re the one telling Kushina about humans and Biju being able to coexist in

peace?”

The human who said such words, is actually someone that Kurama was extremely

interested in.

“No... Yes! It’s me!” The huge amounts of Chakra coming from the Kyuubi’s way made

Ryo breathless.

“And how about now, after you’ve seen me; do you still think the same?”

Ryo was silent. Even though he read the Manga and knew the nal

outcome, facing

such a powerful entity, he lost all his condence

in saying that.

“I believe that will come. Even if I’m not the one to be friends with you, the next one

after me will!”

The Kyuubi glanced back at Kushina and didn’t answer her.

After coming out of the seal, Ryo was all gloomy. He had a huge progress over the past

two years. So he was disappointed that he didn’t have the courage to face Kurama.

And in this world, there are people even stronger than Kurama. Uchiha Madara,

Hashirama Senju, the Rikudo Sennin, Kaguya... All of these characters were not just

able to defeat the Kyuubi, they were able to control it.

This was a huge wake-up call to Ryo.

He knew that he had no time for self-content. He is far from being able to even talk to

Kurama, so he has no business dealing with those god-tier characters.

“Ne-san, let’s spare!”

“Great!” Kushina never saw Ryo be so serious.

In the 3 training ground, a new round between the two began.

Kushina went, as usual, to her tailed coat mode. And Ryo went straight into Ice

Elementization.

“[Water Release: Water Bombs]” Ryo launched a large amount of attacks in the

direction of Kushina.

In her Tailed Coat mode, she easily dodged those attacks. She was really familiar with

Ryo’s ghting

style: Lightning Chakra mode with focus on Chidori, or Ice teleportation

then use of lightning to use lightning.

Kushina was focused on waiting for Ryo’s thunder attack, staying away from areas with

a lot of water to avoid him teleporting on her.

In the past two years, Ryo solved the problem of overusing Chakra for Ice. This time, he

was planning on giving Kushina a surprise.

Ryo used to need water to make ice. But in Mount Myoboku, he learned how to use Ice

in the way of the Yuki clan after working on the [Thousand Flying Water Needles of

Death].

rd

Most Yuki clan members actually used their Kekkei Genkai to freeze the water content

of air. After mastering water release with Jiraya, Ryo was able to mimic that.

“Ne-san, here I come!” Right then, Ryo appeared directly in front of Kushina. Ryo didn’t

use Chidori, nor did he use Raikiri or anything of that sort. Kushina was totally

surprised and didn’t know what to expect.

“[Ice Blade]!” The empty-handed Ryo suddenly had a blade in his hand. Kushina was

caught off guard, and she couldn’t avoid his attack. He landed it, scratching her Coat.

This was a success. Kushina wanted to respond right away by striking him. He was

right in front of him so she took a direct strike.

“[Ice Armor]!” Ryo gathered the moister from the air condensing it rapidly into what

looked like an Armor around his upper body. Ryo’s body was unscathed.

“[Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death]” Ryo condensed the moister in the air into

needles all around Kushina.

Kushina was being harassed by the endless needles hitting her from every direction.

While not strong, they had had penetration power. And also, all the Ice limited her

movement.

After thousands of needles hit her, Kushina’s coat was in all dented. Ryo took that

chance to use his ice blade, and her state was nally

broken.
