Chapter 98: Stalking a Stalker
"It's hard to say for the time being, but since he clearly has top tier strength even in the Kage-level, but is still willing to be a Genin in Konoha, then there must be some conspiracy."
"And his plot must be to counterattack Konoha's top management."
"Look, sooner or later, he will turn against Konoha's high-level executives. By then, if he fails, it will be the best time for us to win him over!"
Who said Pain only has brawns?
He can also think, okay?
"And what if he wins?" Konan asked.
"How much armed force do you think Konoha will have left after he wins?" Pain said with a chuckle.
Yes!
Konan's eyes lit up.
No matter who loses or who wins, both sides will inevitably lose their strength.
Originally, after Konoha had experienced so many internal strife, their strength had already been severely weakened.
Then if there is another chaos, the whole village will be on the verge of destruction.
By that time, they could go to Konoha to capture the Nine Tails Jinchūriki and recover the tailed beasts.
Who could stop their organization?
If you think about it this way, this time Kakuzu and Hidan not only did nothing wrong, but they also did something very good.
They allowed them to discover Ryosuke, a powerful ninja hidden in Konoha in advance.
12-year-old peak Kage-level!
Konan couldn't help feeling a little envious.
.....
On a cliff more than ten kilometers away from Amegakure.
Zetsu, who just left Amegakure, came out of the ground.
"You're here."
On the edge of the cliff, Uchiha Obito, wearing a spiral mask, revealed one eye and looked back.
"Is what I heard from White Zetsu about Kakuzu and Hidan true?" Obito asked.
Zetsu nodded, and then repeated what he had said to Pain before.
"Pain intends to ignore this Yagami Ryosuke for the time being." He said at the end.
"Pain's decision is correct. At this time, the Akatsuki organization should continue to accumulate strength. Now is not the best time to start recovering the tailed beasts."
Obito nodded, approving Pain's decision.
"However, is this Yagami Ryosuke really that strong?"
Obito looked at Zetsu and asked him.
"Very strong, whether it's taijutsu or ninjutsu, they are all at the Kage-level, especially his ninjutsu. His C-level water release is comparable to an S-level Water release."
"But with his young age, he has no fighting skills. Apart from experience, his genjutsu ability has also not been seen yet." Zetsu said.
"Really? He's just Kage-level, not a threat."
"By the way, does he have any bloodline succession limits?" Obito asked.
"Yes, a kind of constitution-type bloodline succession limit. He can use his flesh/body to directly resist B-rank Lightning release without being injured."
This is the information Zetsu had heard in Konoha.
After rescuing Kakuzu and Hidan, Zetsu immediately went to inquire some information about Ryosuke.
Then he went to report the matter to Pain and Obito in front of him.
"It's just physical strength?"
Zetsu absolutely nodded.
"Then there's no need to pay attention."
Obito waved his hand, obviously he didn't hold such a bloodline succession limit in high regard.
After all, no matter how strong the defense, can it be stronger than the Third Raikage?
Even Third Raikage was still killed by the combined effort of Iwagakure's tens of thousands of ninja troops.
Not to mention, Obito fears this type of ninja the least.
On the contrary, ninjas like Namikaze Minato, who are not very powerful in terms of defense, but are extremely maneuverable, intelligent, and extremely skillful in combat, are his nemesis.
A powerful brash, Obito thinks he doesn't need to care about this kind of person.
Even if he is only 12 years old this year, and he may become stronger in the future, so what?
No matter how strong he is, can he shatter the space and hurt himself in the Kamui state?
"Pay attention to the situation on Pain's side. This guy is not so easy to deceive. If there is anything wrong, let me know immediately, and I will deal with him." Obito ordered Zetsu.
Zetsu nodded, then got into the ground and disappeared.
"Rin, it's almost time! I'm about to succeed. Just wait for me for a few more years!"
Obito looked at a silver moon in the distance, and a girl's sweet smile appeared in his mind.
Konoha, Yagami Ryosuke's home
In the room, the window was open.
Ryosuke was sitting on the roof, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.
"By the way, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya has been sealed on the moon for so many years, is she awake all the time, or is she always asleep?"
"If she's in a sane state, wouldn't it be crazy?"
For thousands of years, she has been alone, unable to eat or play, and she could only constantly recall the betrayal of her sons."
Just thinking about it is enough to drive people crazy.
'She probably spent it in a deep sleep.' Ryosuke thought silently.
More than an hour later
"Huh? Is it finally gone?"
The corners of Ryosuke's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
He and Yugao had parted ways and gone home separately.
While on the road, Ryosuke felt that someone was following him, but he didn't expose him.
It wasn't until just now that the person who followed and monitored him left.
Swish!
Ryosuke made a Shadow Clone.
"Follow and see where he goes."
Ryosuke ordered the Shadow Clone.
The Shadow Clone nodded expressionlessly, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the roof.
"There is a high probability that he is one of Danzo's men, but he may also be under Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"When I was in Hokage's office today, there was a person hiding in the dark. I wonder who that person is?"
Ryosuke hadn't activated his dojutsu in advance, so he only sensed the existence of a person.
But who it is, he didn't know.
A few minutes later.
The Shadow Clone following the stalker watched him walk into a building.
On the surface, this building was just a very ordinary shop.
But it was late at night, and the shop was closed early.
And this ninja directly opened the back door and walked in.
The Shadow Clone thought for a while, and also sneaked up silently, without being noticed by the person in front.
After he opened a secret door, revealing a passage extending diagonally downwards behind, the Shadow Clone stopped and did not continue to follow.
"It's so sneaky, so it must be the root."
The Shadow Clone thought to himself, and after leaving the shop, he took the initiative to disperse the Chakra in his body.
Boom!
With this, the Shadow Clone disappeard.
Ryosuke, who was at home, also received this memory from the Shadow Clone.
