Hokage: Ryo’s Path

Chapter 555

“It’s impossible for me to leave this world. I ate the fruit of this world and became one with this world. Letting me leave this world is equivalent to killing me.” Kaguya immediately objected.

“Yamanaka Ryo, mother is right. She will die if she leaves the world.” Otsutsuki Hagoromo said from the side.

“Will you die if you leave? Then can’t you strip Juubi away? If Ryo can deal with Otsutsuki’s clan, he will strip Juubi out of your body. Losing Juubi will greatly weaken your strength, and the threat to the Ninja World will not be so great.” Namikaze Minato suggested.

Kaguya thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “I agree to your conditions. If you can win, I will be separated from Juubi, but you need to help me find a new body. Also, hand over Black Zetsu.”

“Help you find a new body…. This is not a problem. We have a partner whose skills can even restore your original body. As for Black Zetsu, he has already died in my world of ice.” As he spoke, Yamanaka Ryo opened the world of ice and released Black Zetsu, who had already been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Kaguya hurriedly checked Black Zetsu’s condition and found that it was just as Yamanaka Ryo had said, Black Zetsu was already dead.

Kaguya put away Black Zetsu’s corpse with a livid expression. She looked at Yamanaka Ryo and then looked at Hagoromo Brothers. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and did not say anything.

Just like that, the two sides reached a consensus and decided to stop the battle temporarily. Then, everyone left Kaguya’s space together.

…….

After leaving the space, Yamanaka Ryo immediately called Naruto and Sasuke over and told them the conditions he had discussed with Kaguya. After listening, both of them expressed their agreement.

Then, under Rikudou Sennin’s instructions, Naruto and Sasuke released Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The people of the Ninja World quickly woke up from their sleep, but most of the chakra in their bodies was absorbed by Kaguya, and they were not in a good state after waking up.

Yamanaka Ryo sensed the situation of the people outside the battlefield and revealed a smile. “Well, the fourth Ninja War here has come to an end.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this

Kaguya, who was at the side, snorted coldly and said, “Yamanaka Ryo, don’t forget that it’s just a temporary truce. Wait until you can really deal with Otsutsuki’s clan before saying such words.”

“Yes, I know. Then according to our agreement, you should also tell me the information about Otsutsuki’s clan, right?” Yamanaka Ryo asked.

Kaguya nodded and began to explain the situation of Otsutsuki’s clan to Yamanaka Ryo. “When I left Otsutsuki’s clan, the strongest person in the clan was the clan leader of Otsutsuki’s clan. This person was very mysterious and powerful… Ordinary clansmen could not see him at all, and no one in the clan knew his name.

I have some blood relations with him and can be considered his direct descendant, but even so, I have only seen him twice. However, because of this relationship, my position in the Otsutsuki clan is somewhat special. Although my talent is relatively poor, everyone respects me very much.

Below the clan leader was the four elders of the Otsutsuki clan; Otsutsuki Iwashiki, Otsutsuki Fuushiki, Otsutsuki Kirishiki, Otsutsuki Hishiki*. However, their names had nothing to do with the techniques they knew. As long as they became elders of the Otsutsuki clan, they had to inherit these names.”

[*TL Note: Their names imply four elements; Iwashiki = Earth-style, Fuushiki = Wind-style; Kirishiki = Mist-style; Hishiki = Fire=style.]

“Wait a minute. Do you mean that the elders of the Otsutsuki clan often change?” Yamanaka Ryo asked with a frown.

“Only the clan leader of the Otsutsuki clan can maintain their life through constantly devouring the fruit of the divine tree. The clan elders will die when they reach a certain age, and they will change their elders once every 200 years.”

“Then how will the elders of the Otsutsuki clan be elected?” Yamanaka Ryo continued to ask.

“This will have to be chosen from those who opened Rinnegan. There is a certain chance that the people of the Otsutsuki clan will open Rinnegan, but there will not be a lot of them.”

“There will probably be more than ten people who will open it in 200 years, right?” Ryo asked.

Kaguya explained, “These people who opened Rinnegan were the geniuses among geniuses, and they were also the strongest fighting force in the clan. These people would be selected by the four great elders to select the best among them to inherit the position of elders.”

Yamanaka Ryo noticed that when Kaguya was talking about these geniuses who opened Rinnegan, there was a bit of envy in her expression. Combined with what she said just now, Yamanaka Ryo suddenly understood why Kaguya was so obsessed with strength.

Kaguya sighed and continued, “In addition to these geniuses, there were a large number of clansmen who had rolled their eyes in the clan. These people were not weak either. At least they were stronger than most of your previous group….”

“Our previous group? You mean the Ninja Alliance Army?” Namikaze Minato asked.

Kaguya nodded, “Yes, it’s your so-called Ninja Alliance Army. The ordinary people of Otsutsuki Clan are stronger than most of the people in your Ninja Alliance Army.”

“The Ninja Alliance Army has 80 of them. It seems that the ordinary people of Otsutsuki Clan are probably the superior Ninja.” Namikaze Minato analyzed.

Kaguya nodded, “However, there aren’t many people in the Otsutsuki clan. They rarely fight. The main force of the battle is still puppets… Most of the time, the people of the Otsutsuki clan are only responsible for controlling and creating puppets. Puppets should not pose any threat to you.”

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ryo had a basic understanding of the combat strength of the Otsutsuki clan.

In the Otsutsuki clan, there were the Otsutsuki clan’s clan head, four elders, and a dozen or so geniuses who had opened Rinnegan.

Kaguya, who had left the Otsutsuki clan in her youth, definitely did not understand these new generation geniuses. Fortunately, Yamanaka Ryo had caught Otsutsuki Ryushiki before, so he planned to ask Otsutsuki Ryushiki later.

Next was the question of how to go to the Otsutsuki clan. Yamanaka Ryo raised his head and directly asked, “Kaguya, how do we use that passageway?”

“After removing the seal, just directly enter. The passageway is linked to the Otsutsuki clan’s transmission center.”

“What is the location of the teleportation center?”

“It can be considered the center of the Otsutsuki Clan, right?” Kaguya thought for a moment and said, “But you don’t have to worry. There are no experts guarding the Otsutsuki Clan’s teleportation center. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have escaped so easily back then.”

Yamanaka Ryo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. “In that case, there will be even more space to operate.”

“Alright, I’ve already told you everything I know. The rest is up to you.”

With that, Kaguya waved her sleeve and opened a spatial crack, returning to her space.

“Ryo, don’t worry about going to Otsutsuki’s clan. Let’s first settle this matter after the Ninja World War,” Namikaze Minato suggested.

Yamanaka Ryo nodded. He also thought this way.
