Chapter 24 - 24- Ryuu Talking To The Hokage

After a while, Ryuu and Kushina return with Tsunade and Mikoto to Konoha Village.

"Mikoto and Kushina, you can go home, Ryuu and I will go to the Hokage's building." Tsunade said, she knew that Kushina had been through a lot of tiring events today, so she made her go home as soon as they arrived in Konoha.

After that, Tsunade and Ryuu went straight to the Hokage's building. And they entered the Hokage's office.

When they entered the Hokage's office, they saw Hiruzen sitting with a mountain of papers in front of him, looking very tired from too much work.

In the recent period, the work he is doing has increased due to the preparations for war. This made him so busy that he stayed at the Hokage's office for 4 days and did not go home.

'Damn why does the Hokage have to do all this paperwork' Hiruzen thought while sighing, then noticed the arrival of Tsunade and Ryuu.

"From the calm look on your faces, you must have saved Kushina and she is fine." Hiruzen said with a happy look on his face. He was worried about Kushina, he was close to her and considered her like his daughter.

"Yes, Ryo was able to defeat the enemies single-handedly and save Kushina even before I arrived," Tsunade said gleefully, she was very proud that her disciple was so strong.

"Very good Ryuu, can you tell me how did you find Kushina? And can you talk in detail about how you rescued her? I want to know which village tried to kidnap Kushina." Hiruzen praised Ryuu, then asked him for details of the rescue, and wanted to know which village was able to Enter Konoha without noticing.

"First, I used chakra sense to check where Kushina is. Using it, I can sense long distances of up to tens of kilometers," Ryuu answered the first question.

'He's a sensing type and he has a great talent for it. He really does have a great talent' Hiruzen was shocked by Ryuu's chakra sense talent, whose sensing can reach a distance of tens of kilometers. Even the best talents of the Yamanaka clan might not reach this scale in their entire lives. But he calmed himself quickly and didn't show shock on his face.

While Hiruzen was thinking, Ryuu continued explaining the details of the rescue, "When I arrived at the kidnappers' location, I found three people wearing jonin jackets designated for Iwa Village."

"So you're saying it was Iwa Village that kidnapped Kushina," Hiruzen asked.

"I don't think they are people from Iwa Village, they are people disguised as Iwa to distract us from their true identity," Ryuu said. At first Ryuu also thought they were from Iwa, but after seeing their stats he discovered they were from Konoha because of their clan names.

Ryuu told them everything until he reached the explosion event." While fighting with them, one of the remaining two performed a Yamanaka clan jutsu, 'Mind Body Switch Technique' to control the injured person. After that, the seriously injured person grabbed me from behind without me noticing and then blew himself up."

"Did you say he used a jutsu for the Yamanaka clan? Also if it exploded, how did you survive uninjured?" Hiruzen said in shock, he couldn't believe that the person who kidnapped Kushina was from inside Konoha, then he heard Ryuu say that the injured person exploded with so he asked skeptically.

"I'm sure this person is from the Yamanaka clan, and I brought his body with me just to be sure." When Ryuu said that, Tsunade took out a scroll and opened it and then sent a chakra to the scroll, after which the corpse appeared in a manner similar to the appearance of a summons.

Hiruzen approached the dead body and noticed his body and facial features and then said, "Anbu, bring the head of the Yamanaka clan here to make him take this body from here, and tell him what happened."

Hiruzen knew most of the ninja in Konoha, and in particular he knew all ninja of the rank of Jonin and elite Jonin, so as soon as he saw the face of the corpse, he knew her identity.

Hiruzen knows that the owner of this body works for Danzo in Root Ninja. He felt pain at the thought that his friend would do such a thing.

Hiruzen was currently shocked that Ryuu could easily kill an elite Jonin who was assisted by two other ninjas. If someone tells a ninja in Konoha that a nine-year-old can kill an elite jonin, people will start to look at him like a madman.

"Actually, his face wasn't like that when I fought against him, but five minutes after killing him, his shape changed to this shape, after which I discovered a seal inside, which when activated can transform a user's shape. In a similar fashion to a Transformation Technique jutsu." At this moment, Ryuu spoke again. Interrupting Hiruzen's thoughts, he pointed to a specific area on the corpse's body.

Hiruzen went to check the seal on the corpse's shoulder, "You're right, there's a seal here."

"Until the head of the Yamanaka clan comes, can you tell me the rest, as well as how you survived," Hiruzen said to Ryuu. After he finished checking the seal.

"Can I tell you and Tsunade about this in private?" Ryuu was initially hesitant to tell Hiruzen about the Mangekyo Sharingan. Ryuu doesn't want anyone to know that he possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan before he reaches Kage level, but in the end he decides to tell Tsunade and Hiruzen.

"Okay, all ANBU get out of the office." There were several ANBU guarding the Hokage in the room. Hiruzen ordered them to leave.

Ryuu used his chakra sense to check if anyone was watching them, but he couldn't find anyone here but Tsunade and Hiruzen.

"You can talk now," Hiruzen said. He was curious about what Ryuu wanted to tell them.
