Jutsu

Ryu released the barrier that was formed and put his tucked the Gunbai on his back.

He raised his hand and said in a long voice.

"My leg is broken and I was severely injured after fighting two jonins, I am visiting the hospital."

Everybody could see that he never had a scratch on him all this time.

Ryu simply started to walk out of the training field, he let them do whatever they wanted for the selection exam.

'I have had enough, and I don't think they would fail me due to nepotism and skills.'

*Whistle*

*Whistle*

*Whistle*

"Do your best all the students, just two are left anyways and one of them seems too roughed up."

Ryu left the field at full speed, leaving everyone shocked by his performance.

He redid the seal and stored the Gunbai fan, It was too much wide known to all ninjas.

"Come out, I know you are there."

A ninja walked out of the bushes and kneeled before him.

"Greetings to the lord of waves, I was sent by lord Orochi to report you an urgent message."

'I told him to change his name and he just removed 'maru' '

"Hand me the report."

The ninja took out a scroll and handed it to Ryu.

Ryu opened the scroll and started to read the contents.

The contents were written straightforwardly.

'He has managed to have a conference with daimyo of all the surrounding islands that are independent of any land.'

'There are also some rights issues with the land of water, and the lord of waves must negotiate.'

'Some suspicious dudes were searching information on me as It happened to be my birthplace, probably related to Kara.'

'There is a trade problem with high-end companies and they need me to verify it.'

*Sigh*

Ryu had planned on wasting his time in seclusion but he just got a load of tasks that he wished someone else handled for him.

"Tell Orochi to hold on to it, I will be there at the time of meeting and trades, just send me the date."

"Yes, my lord!"

The ninja left, Ryu burned the scroll to cinders, his identity was confidential and he had just gotten mixed into some deep shit.

"I will need to ask Sasuke for a favor, I am being too dependent on him these days."

Ryu just left for the house, he needed to meet Sasuke for now.

Ryu bought some burgers for both of them as he needed to get a favor and with Sasuke at that.

Ryu had two pouches with burgers packed in them and returned home.

"I am home."

He took out his shoes, and Sakura came out of the house to welcome him back.

"You are home early, Did the test go well?"

Ryu spoke while taking out his shoes.

"I knocked out two jonins, I don't know if that counts as going good."

Sakura was surprised for a second but she recomposed herself, She didn't leave any opening for Ryu to badmouth her.

"I see, you did well. Even Naruto couldn't pull that off at your age."

'A compliment, you are getting good at this.'

"I know, So, where is Sasuke?"

"Isn't he supposed to be your father? Just call him that."

"Very funny, Is he here?"

"He must be in his room."

He picked up both of the pouches and went to Sasuke's room.

*Knock*

*Knock*

"Come in!"

Ryu entered the room, he could see Sasuke was in his room resting on the bed.

"How unusual of you to approach me?"

Ryu tossed a pouch of Hamburger to Sasuke, he caught it and glanced at Ryu.

"What is this?"

"It's a burger, have it. I bought it for you."

Sasuke looked at him with doubt, Ryu took a bite of his burger and gave him a friendly smile.

Sasuke unwrapped the packing and took a bite out of Burger.

"It tastes good."

Ryu's eyes lit up.

"I have a favor to ask. I don't believe you would not accept that."

Sasuke suddenly hot burger stuck in his throat.

*Cough*

*Huff*

Sasuke looked at him with a complicated expression.

"What is this favor about? If it is within my power then sure."

Ryu smirked at Sasuke, he needed to get this done and there was nothing that was not within his power.

"I need to learn some jutsu and S-class at that, I need permission to visit the place where all those are kept."

Sasuke could probably arrange that but It was not someone who was allowed to visit without verifying if they are trustworthy and important to Konoha.

"Well, Not anyone can enter those faculty, and learning jutsu is a whole other thing."

"I could teach you, I have S-class jutsu with me, How about that?"

Ryu was not interested in Chidori and that's the best Sasuke could teach him.

"I am willing to trade some information on those Kara dudes and Otsusuki for some of that jutsu."

Now, this was pretty tempting for them, as Otsusuki was a mystery and the Kara in itself was a threat lurking around that could being chaos to the world.

"I can arrange a meeting with Naruto, and he would decide if the information is worth the jutsu."

"Fine by me, I have plenty of that information that I don't even know what to do with it."

"Tomorrow, the trade will take place."

"No, I am a bit tight and I can't waste time so make It now."

"Follow me!"

Sasuke opened a portal that led directly to Hokage's office, he was too casual about entering his office.

"Sasuke, Why are you entering like that?"

"Well, My son happened to have a deal that he would like to have with Hokage."

Naruto got in a serious mood all of a sudden.

"Ohh! Is that so, Let's hear about his deal."

"Nothing serious actually, I want two S-class jutsu and I am willing to trade for information but just two."

Currently at investigation room, after he told about his deal.

Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Said were present there while Ryu and Naruto were looking at each other while sitting on the chair.

"I feel like a criminal again for some reason."

"We will ask you questions and you will answer them and for every satisfactory answer you give, you will get to pick any jutsu from Konoha's library," Shikamaru spoke ignoring Ryu's words.

"Yes, It is planned to go that way."

"Let us begin our questions," Sai spoke glaring at Ryu.

"First question, What does Kara want to accomplish?"

Ryu smirked as he heard the question, he never planned to answer these so soon but he was in tight here as he needed the jutsu.

"Kara was and is for one purpose alone and that is the revival of Otsusuki Ishikki to full power."

Ryu never told them about Ishikki before so they never knew about him and thought of jigen as their leader.

Everyone had a sweat on their forehead, they needed to utilize this chance as best as they could.

"Explain further!"

"No can't do it, I will be here all day and I will only give a direct answer to your questions so deal with it."

Shikamaru gritted his teeth, he wanted to put Ryu on his cell and get information out of him.

"Next question, Who is this Ishikki Otsusuki that you never mentioned before?"

"That's a good question, He was the partner of Otsusuki Kaguya who was sent to earth and Kaguya betrayed her for some reason and the creator of Kara."

Now, this was some huge connection but as much mystery as it solved it opened even more and they were going into the dark as they looked more into it.

"You won't explain any further again, Isn't that right?"

"Yup, you got that right."

Naruto gave Ryu a friendly smile and asked the very last thing.

"Anything else you could say if not then It's okay?"

"I have said this before and will say this again, we must only face Kara after we take down other Otsutsuki arrive and I can guarantee you all the threats would get dealt with."

"Got It, We will invite you to a discussion if it is related to Otsutsuki."

"Whatever, Just don't fight Kara yet, Ishikki had the power to turn Kaguya into a punching bag and I think you know better than anyone just how strong Kaguya Otsutsuki is."

Each of them frowned heavily, Kaguya was already someone that looked undefeatable to him but Ryu said Ishikki could turn Kaguya into a punching bag.

Ryu exaggerated the part, but It was Ishikki was more powerful as he was directly related to the main family.

"I will take him there." Sasuke volunteered to take Ryu there.

"Don't sweat It, It won't be a problem if you don't march on them."

Ryu left with Sasuke right after that, he needed to get two jutsu that he needed the most for now.

"Have you already thought of the Jutsus? I can recommend you some."

"I have my plans, I know just what to choose."

Ryu entered the library where all the Jutsu were kept while Sasuke waited outside as Ryu requested him.

Ryu started the look at the shelf and picked out a copy of two scrolls, he had no difficulty as he knew just the jutsu.

"Flying raijin to visit village in cases like this."

"And this here is my Ace to my plans."

Ryu was done with picking his Jutsus.

"Did you get the jutsu you wanted?"

"I did get two of them, but I don't have intentions to telling you my choices."

"Not interested anyways, Let's go!"

"I will pass, I need to learn one lf this in a week."

"Best of luck!"

Ryu went to the training grounds to learn flying raijin.

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Ryu summoned fifty shadow clones to half his training time and master it to travel freely within a week.
