Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 113 - Kogin’s Ninjutsu

Chapter 113: Kogin’s Ninjutsu

s

“Ryo is an idiot!”

“Ryo is an idiot!”

“That’s enough Kus.h.i.+na ne-san!” Ryo said helplessly, as Kus.h.i.+na started teaching the bird

mocking him as soon as she discovered it could replicate her words.

“What’s wrong?! When I say the next sentence, it will forget this one.” Kus.h.i.+na didn’t care

much.

“Ryo is an idiot!” As soon as Kus.h.i.+na finished her words, the silver falcon responded. It

kept repeating the sentence as it was smart enough to remember it.

“Cough… Ryo that’s just an accident, believe me!” Kus.h.i.+na’s face turned red and she was

embarra.s.sed.

“Ryo is an idiot! Ryo is an idiot!”

When the falcon repeated, Kus.h.i.+na got even more embarra.s.sed, took the falcon and ran

away.

Ryo shook his head, not caring about the two. He had no reason to fear for the falcon, and

what he really needed to do was to study the relations.h.i.+p between the Ryumyaku’s power

and intelligence.

Over the following few days, the animal he previously injected with the Ryumyaku’s Chakra

started waking up, and the experiment was a great success.

Injecting the animals with amounts of Ryumryaku Chakra that are proportional to their

physic saved them. However, just like the hare, none of the animal’s IQs changed.

With this, Ryo had a general understanding of the characteristics of this power

This chakra can quickly heal wounds, but it takes it time to restore life functions.

Not only that, it takes less to heal wounds then to restore life.

With this, Ryo was very satisfied, and felt great about it having such an effect.

The falcon, raken away by Kus.h.i.+na, flew back every night to Ryo’s tent. For the first two

nights, it kept repeating: “Ryo is an idiot!”. However, after that, it started communicating on

a basic level, and improving over time.

This bird had a human-like intelligence and acquired the ability to communicate with

humans normally. With that, she could already be Ryo’s companion. So, he wanted to give

her a name.

Ryo’s naming capabilities were actually inferior to those of Minato. While the later

overcomplicated names to the extreme, Ryo was always blunt and went straight to the first

name to pop in his mind.

Basing on the naming style of things he used to watch as a kid, he named it: Kogin!

(Translator Note: Kogin is j.a.panese for Little Silver).

The falcon, hearing Ryo giving her a name, was very excited. She didn’t really recognize

whether the name was good or bad, and she flew back and forth across the room.

After confirming the name, Kogin continued to learn human language with Kus.h.i.+na.

However, Ryo had to stop studying the Ryumyaku’s power because of a request from

Minato.

The day after naming the falcon, Minato summoned him, and asked him to make an

abundance of Healing Stones.

After four years, the stock made by Ryo was already exhausted. In Konoha, only Ryo and

Jiraya could make such stones, but both of them were indispensible on the battlefield.

On all fronts, Konoha’s had been losing too many lives. This made Minato very anxious, and

he only could think of Healing Stones as a way to limit casualties.

Since it was a personal request from him, there was no chance that Ryo would refuse. So the

latter put his Ryumyaku research to the side momentarily to focus on this task.

With his improvement over the years in both Chakra control and Fuinjutsu, Ryo found that

he could make 80 stones per day.

As before, the stones were for Ninjas who were Chunins or above. Ryo managed to make

810 stones, in just 10 days!

This was enough to give Stones to all Ninjas who were Chunin or above in the camp.

Ryo gave 800 to Minato, and kept himself an emergency stock of 10 Stones.

Over the course of those ten days, Ryo didn’t have rest, and his research the Ryumyaku had

to be put on hold. Of course, he had no time to deal with Kogin, which was spending its time

with Kus.h.i.+na.

So Ryo went to kus.h.i.+na’s tent, after many fays of not seeing each other.

Kus.h.i.+na however wasn’t there. Ryo entered Sage Mode and localized her in the camp.

After finding her and Kogin, Ryo rushed to the direction of the two.

At the time, Kus.h.i.+na was teaching Kogin on Chakra control. After a few days of getting a

long, Kus.h.i.+na discovered that Kogin, while having Chakra, could not use it.

Being a bird, Kogin could not learn making seal, so Kus.h.i.+na went for teaching her direct

applications of Chakra use.

There are many ways to use Chakra directly. Walking on tree, or even on water, Medical

Ninjutsu, or even the Mighty Rasengan, there were all Jutsus that didn’t require forming any

seals.

Kogin was more sensitive to Chakra than a average summoned beast, and it quickly

a.s.similated Kus.h.i.+na’s teaching.

After learning to use Chakra, it was ready to use her own unique attack. It was just like

Manda’s Poison, Katsuyu’s acid saliva; Kogin had its own specialty.

It was Wind Release. By learning to use Chakra, Kogin became capable of creating Wind

Blades by flapping its wings, ones less potent than an average B-Grade Jutsu.

As Ryo arrived, he happened to witness Kogin release over a dozen wind blades in

succession, leaving multiple marks on a large stone.

“Kogin! You’re doing great!” Kus.h.i.+na encouraged it.

“Ne san, you said this ability is Wind Blade. Do I have other powers?”

Ryo was listening to Kogin talking so smoothly and being able to learn how to Release

Ninjutsu.

“I don’t know about that. Do you want to test you Chakra affinity?” Saying that, Kus.h.i.+na

looked around her luggage for a strip of Chakra Induction Paper.

After searching for a while, she found nothing. Ryo sent an Ice Scalpel, teleporting to it and

handing Kus.h.i.+na a strand of Chakra Induction Paper. Kus.h.i.+na noticed it was Ryo who came

in a blink of an eye.

Kogin was paying attention to Kus.h.i.+na. She didn’t notice Ryo until he stood there in front of

the two.

She waved her wings and flew around him with excitement, landing slowly on his shoulder.

“Kogin, long time no see!” Ryo greeted her.

Kogin however looked away, ignoring Ryo’s salute and saying: “I don’t talk with people

who ignore Kogin.”

Ryo smiled. The little bird was still angry because Ryo left her. He offered her Ryumyaku

Chakra however, and she immediately forgave him.
