Hokage: Ryo’s Path Chapter 96

Chapter 96 - Family of Three

Chapter 96: Family of Three

ts

Ryo jumped into the boat and walked into the cabin where were the people he had percieved.

When he arrived to the hatch, Ryo didn’t enter directly because he heard screaming in the

cabin: “You all listen to me! If you want to live, hurry up and tell where the money is

hidden!”

Ryo smiled, and all he worried about now was finding a way to get the owner of the ship to

go all the way to the Wave Country with his team.

Before jumping in, Ryo sensed eight people on board. Four were rowing and taking the

helm, and four in the cabin. Now it seemed like one of the four in the cabin was a pirate.

An ordinary pirate should not be difficult to deal with for seven people, not to mention that

four of the seven were engaged in manual labor. With this, Ryo guessed that this pirate could

be a Ninja.

At this thought, Ryo didn’t hesitate and entered the Ice-Lightning Chakra Mode. At the

moment when the cabin’s door was open, he blinked right next to the pirate, laying an ice

scalpel upon his neck.

The cold sensation got the pirate in cold sweat, and speed he had just witnessed was

incomparable to anything else he had ever seen or even heard of.

Facing such a strong opponent, he had only one way: “Kind… K Kind… sir! Please forgive

me! I have an 80-year-old mother, and a three-year-old child! Killing me means killing my

entire family!”

Ryo was bummed out by this response. Yes, it was such a cliché line, but what made it worse

was that the pirate in question actually looked younger than 20 years old!

Just as Ryo was about to respond, someone had already spoken first: “Liar! You don’t even

look like you’re 20 years old! 80-year-old mother, 3-year-old child, when did you get all

that?!”

“Shut up Kotori! Sir, this child is still young and ignorant, please don’t be mad!” The

woman heard her child talking and immediately yelled.

Ryo was too busy paying attention to that stupid pirate, so he didn’t take the time to explain

what he was doing to this family of three. They were all still afraid of him.

Ryo turned back and wanted to tell them that he was not malicious. However, he was too

stunned to talk when he saw them: Two out of the three had hair that was exactly the same as

Kushina’s.

The woman’s hair was black, while the man and the little girl’s hair were red. The older ones

looked like they were in their 20s, and the little girl was only 4 or 5 years old.

Looking at the little girl, Ryo could almost see Kushina in her. Initially, Ryo just wanted to

get a sailboat. But now, it seems that these people must be protected, as they might be

relatives of his Sensei.

Seeing that 2 of the people on board should be from the Uzumaki clan, Ryo started doubting

the identity of the pirate.

“Who are you? Who sent you to kill the people on board?”

“K…Kind sir, forgive me! I just had no money, so I attacked this boat!”

Ryo wasn’t buying that. It would be such an odd coincidence for a mere pirate to land on an

Uzumaki boat.

Ryo didn’t continue to interrogate him; he simply stunned him and invaded his memories.

From his memories, he found out his real purpose

This so called “Pirate” was Chunin from the mist village. He and other Shinobi were

assigned to intercept ships traveling to and from the Wave country, to prevent them from

sneaking Konoha’s Ninjas in.

And this Mist Chunin was greedy, taking the opportunity of this task to disguise himself as a

pirate to make some cash. He did not find out the identity of this family, he just thought that

this sailboat was the right size for him to rob.

Learning this, Ryo was relieved. Most interceptions shouldn’t be a lot of trouble for him to

handle if they ever accrued.

Ryo left his mind and opened his eyes to look at this family of three.

The woman seemed like a civilian, with no sign of Shinobi level Chakra. However, the redhaired

man was different. Ryo felt a huge amount of Chakra out of him.

Ryo didn’t want to make this take too long, just saying directly to him: “Hey! You’re from

the Uzumaki clan, no?”

The man blinked, and then jumped to protect the woman and child with his body, keeping a

firm eye on Ryo.”

“Fear not! I’m not malicious! My name is Ryo Yamanaka, one of Konoha’s Ninjas!” The

man’s face stayed full of hostility, so Ryo went and took out his forehead protector from his

pocket.

Seeing that, the man became less defensive.

Since the forehead protector wasn’t enough to get him to loosen his guard completely, Ryo

cut straight to the chase saying: “I don’t know if you know Kushina Uzumaki. I’m a disciple

of her.”

Hearing Kushina’s name, the man’s eyes lit up and he finally said: “A disciple of Kushina

you say? Do you have any proof?”

Ryo smiled and showed the lot the various Uzumaki seals he learned from her.

Seeing that, the man confirmed Ryo’s identity and was completely relieved.

“My name is Shinshiro, this is my wife Kano, and my daughter Kotori.” The man introduced

his family to Ryo.

“Hello!” Ryo and the other two greeted each other. The girl wasn’t afraid at all. During all

that conversation, she was looking at Ryo with a curious eye.

“Hey, Onii-san, you know Kushina oba san?” The little girl asked Ryo.

“Sorry, this kid is not sensible. But I also would like to know about how Kushina is doing.”

Said Shinshiro.

“I don’t what’s the relationship between Shinshiro san and my teacher?” The young girl’s

words made Ryo speculate the relationship between them. Still, Out of Caution, he asked

one more question.

“Kushina is my cousin, my uncle’s daughter. She was received by Konoha back when she

was 7, and I’ve never seen her ever since. Kotori heard from me that she had a relative, an

aunt, named Kushina.” Shinshiro explained.

Ryo nodded, and told the family everything he knew that wasn’t classified.

“Haha, I never thought that with all the years that had passed, Kushina would still have that

character. That’s the same as her when she was a child!” Said Shinshiro, laughing.

After chatting for a while, Ryo remembered why he came to this ship:”Shinshiro san, in fact,

I came to your boat to ask for help!”

“Today, you’ve helped me a lot! Ask me whatever you want!”

“You didn’t need my help, I just moved unnecessarily.” Ryo shook his head helplessly.

Shinshiro’s massive Chakra stores were a dozen times more than necessary to crush that mist

Ninja.

“But still, I do need this favor. Would you please help me with my team to get to the Wave

Country?”

“Absolutely, no problem! We were just going there.” Shinshiro agreed really quickly.

With his agreement, Ryo left and returned with Maan Uchiha, Ming Hyuga and the rest of

his team, and they immediately left off to the Wave country.
