Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 466

Otogakure is a village established by Orochimaru after leaving Konoha. Still, Konoha’s higher-ups and Orochimaru have a good relations.h.i.+p. During the Chunin exam, Otogakure’s Ninja helped Konoha, so the two villages get along well.

Right now, Kimimaro came forward to show his goodness, and Kakas.h.i.+, too, smiled and shook hands with Kimimaro and introduced him to Konoha’s Ninja as well.

“Master Kakas.h.i.+, so Konoha has already grasped the situation with Sanbi, I believe?”

Kakas.h.i.+ shook his head, “We just want to confirm the situation of Sanbi by Hokage-sama’s order. As long as Sanbi does not pose a threat to Konoha, we won’t do anything either. Has something happened between Otogakure and Sanbi?”

Kimimaro waved his hands and said quickly, “You misunderstood, Master Kakas.h.i.+. We have no interest in Sanbi, and we are here to just confirm the situation of Sanbi.”

Kakas.h.i.+, hearing this, said with a smile. “Since everyone’s goals are the same, we might as well work together to complete the mission as soon as possible.”

Kimimaro pondered but agreed to Kakas.h.i.+, and after the two sides reached a consensus, they began to detect Sanbi.

Both sides determined that Sanbi was in a dormant status, and the slight sounds and movements would not wake him at all. As long as they were not getting close to him, It should be fine.

“It looks like there’s no problem with Sanbi. It just slept and turned over just now.”

Kakas.h.i.+ nodded and said, “Well, Sanbi’s threat can be ruled out for the time being, but he is still a Bijuu. I recommend that each side leave two or three people here to be responsible for patrolling and surveillance. If there is any abnormal movement, we can respond as soon as possible. “

“Well, that’s the safest way.” Kimimaro agreed and said to his friend, “You have done it before, and now I want you to keep your mission to monitor Sanbi.”

“Yes, Lord Kimimaro!”

Kakas.h.i.+ also turned to Anbu Ninja on his side and said, “Your team is in charge here to monitor the situation in Sanbi!”

After the monitoring staff was arranged, both sides left. What they didn’t expect was that Deidara and Obito appeared the day after they left.ꟷIt turned out that before the arrival of Konoha and Otogakure Ninja, Deidara had arrived in advance to confirm the whereabouts of Sanbi and reported the information about Sanbi to Nagato.

……….

After getting Sanbi’s information, Nagato immediately asked Obito to help and get Sanbi. But while Obito was still on his way to Sanbi, Ninja of Konoha and Otogakure went to Sanbi’s place first before him.

Deidara knew just a few of Ninja’s opponents and chose to avoid it. Fortunately, Ninja of Konoha and Otogakure left after determining that Sanbi is no threat. They only left some Ninja responsible for surveillance.

After Obito arrived, Deidara shot directly from the sky and forcibly wounded Sanbi with a clay bomb. Obito then moved the injured Sanbi and Deidara to a nearby cave. It took a few days for everyone in Akatsuki to seal Sanbi. Since then Akatsuki had captured Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, s.h.i.+chibi. Only Rokubi, Hachibi, and Kyuubi are left.

Rokubi’s location was definitely confirmed. Nagato was ready to set off to capture Rokubi. At this time, White Zetsu stopped Nagato from taking action.

“Nagato, don’t worry, my spore sense has just arrived, and someone is coming towards where Deidara and Tobi are.”

Nagato frowned and asked, “Is it the enemy?”

“It’s very likely. There are four of them, Itachi’s younger brother Uchiha Sasuke, and the rest were all under Orochimaru’s subordinates. They should be bad news.”

Hearing this, Deidara lighted up, “Itachi’s younger brother? Interesting! Pain, Leave them to Tobi and me.”

Nagato, who hasn’t made a statement yet, said, “Deidara, don’t underestimate the enemy. As far as I know, Itachi’s younger brother also has three tomoe Sharingan. His three subordinates are… one is the orphan of Uzumaki Clan and the specific and large Chakra of Sensor Type Ninja; the other is Ninja of Hōzuki clan, which can ignore most physical attacks; and one has an aura that contains natural Chakra.”

Nagato hesitated for a moment and then said, “The meaning is, these three people are not easy to deal with, let alone Uchiha Sasuke! You and Tobi just need to stop them, don’t do anything unnecessary.”

Deidara promised it right away but did not intend to obey.

After the meeting, Deidara made a giant bird with explosive clay and flew in the sky to find their Sasuke tracks.

Obito sighed but followed him anyway.

………..

At this point, Sasuke’s entire group had lunch and was resting. Deidara circled for a while and found the trace of Sasuke and the others.

Deidara’s eyes lit up, “I’ve found you! Uchiha Sasuke, I hope you like this greeting!” Deidara made a few spiders out of explosive clay and dropped them at the place where Sasuke was.

As the exploding spider slowly dropped from the sky, Karin, who closed her eyes beside Sasuke, suddenly opened her eyes and looked up towards the sky.

Detecting Karin’s anomaly, Sasuke frowned and asked, “Karin, what’s wrong?”

“Something is falling above, there are not many Chakras in these things, but it feels very dangerous to me!” Karin pointed at the sky.

Hearing this, Sasuke immediately opened Sharingan and saw the exploding spider in the sky. “Is this Doton and Katon? No! We have to avoid it. This thing will explode!” Sasuke said, holding Karin and teleporting to a distance.

Suigetsu and Jugo, hearing this, also quickly dodged in the direction of Sasuke’s place.

Just after they left, and there was a loud noise behind them. A huge blast caused the four people to be pushed out directly, and a huge pit was blown out instantly where they were.

Suigetsu got up from the ground, cleaned the dirt on his body, and then glanced back, “s.h.i.+t–! What is this! That’s scary!”

Sasuke’s expression also became serious. He opened Sharingan and stared at Deidara in the sky. After a while, Sasuke took a deep breath and said to Karin, “Karin, you take the two of them away first. This person is not something you can handle.”

“Will you be alright on your own?”

“Yes! Don’t worry!”

Karin nodded and left with Jugo and Suigetsu first.

Deidara ignored the three people who had fled because his target was Sasuke all along. Deidara opened his palm and let the mouth at the center of the palm swallow a large amount of explosive clay.

A giant clay dragon was made from this explosive clay.

The giant clay dragon flew over Sasuke’s head and dropped a small dragon in front of him.
