Destroyed

Ryu and the others landed on the land of waves, and higher-ups of the land greeted were present there to greet them. It looked normal for others but all of them were present here especially to greet Ryu.

Hanabi greeted them as they approached her team and introduced herself to the group of upper-level officials.

"I am Hanabi Hyuga. I'll be in charge of leading the group from the hidden leaf. We shall work with you in accordance with Lord Seven's instructions." She passed a scroll to authenticate her identification, and they dispatched a ninja working for them to request the task, Ryu's presence was all the identification they needed but they accepted for formality.

"Please allow us to explain everything over a cup of tea. Perhaps you'd like to join us?"

Hanabi nodded her head as she looked around at the other members, having no objections. They began following the higher-ups, who were guarded by five shinobi from the land of the waves.

Sasaki became aware of the ninjas lurking in the shadows, keeping an eye on him and protecting the higher-ups. Over the course of a year, the land grew. Orochimaru was a psychotic serpent, but he was skilled in all of these areas.

'When I took over the village, I was the only village after kinshiki massacred all of them.' Thinking such he couldn't help but chuckle, as she saw this number of ninjas.

The buildings in the land of waves looked modernized compared to before, he could clearly see many industrialized buildings that were responsible for large-scale manufacture. Land of waves made It a short trip for distribution to other lands through sea routes.

"Land of waves looks so different from hidden leaf, It is beautiful in its own way."

"It is surrounded by sea from all directions and is connected to the land of fire through a bridge, It has different weather than others."

With such blabbering, they reached arrived at the guest house specially made for these occasions, all the people were seated there and started discussing things.

"Let's start with the details, It happened four days ago when he was busy with his work, a made with a mask on his head attacked him. He gave him a tough fight but was unsuccessful in defeating him and he got taken a hostage but he left a note." One of the higher-ups said as he put his hand on his head showing frustration, others also looked troubled from their expressions and even nervous.

Hanabi couldn't figure things out on her own with just these small details, she needed more details that could help to track her.

"What did you find for your investigation here? There must be something valuable right."

One of the higher-ups made gestures to Ryu that showed if it was okay to disclose this with them.

Ryu just gave a nod to him showing his approval in disclosing information but not in too much detail.

"There was a note left from the place he disappeared, you can take a look a look at these if you want to."

He handed the note to their team, and Ryu along with others looked at the note. It was about the person responsible for the incident.

"It says come at the only forest of training within 10 days, doesn't it mean he would be there? Just send a group of shinobi for rescue."

'This is the letter for me and It means the forest that is present in the land of fire where I trained with Koji after code ditched for a week, It must be him.

The group showed their problem here as such a forest never existed and Ryu only knew of what this letter actually meant.

"I am going out, You all discuss things here. I will participate on the day of the mission."

Ryu walked out of the room after getting known to all the details, he had some idea about the culprit and he needed to know about all the important details in the underground base.

Ryu entered his underground hideout, and as he entered the hideout he was greeted by a jonin that seemed to know his identity.

"Tell me the key points that I should know, I am leaving right after that."

The shinobi started to tell him about Shin clones getting destroyed and now there is no source of Sharingan, also the attacker had come here before for sharing his orders.

'Kashin koji! He is trying to eliminate me and that's for sure.'

The events were putting him at an extreme disadvantage and things kept getting worst every time. He even started having seconds if he should even have taken over the village.

"I will kill that Koji, I don't care if I would be the one to kill jigen to raise Ishikki." Ryu was pissed off and to the highest degree, having Shin was like carrying extra life with him.

Ryu was letting a huge amount of concentrated chakra out as he looked at the destroyed laboratory, he loved the laboratory more than the village.

The ground was cracking from the pressure of his chakra.

Ryu left the lab to cool himself down, he was already pissed from the events transpiring and couldn't bother with other things now.

Ryu was sitting in a park with his plan on his chin looking at the kids playing around with their friends in peace while he was just running the atmosphere with his serious mood by glaring at them.

'I will go there and kill him now, I will finish this mission by today.'

Ryu got up from the desk and summoned Ryu and sat above him.

"I am telling you direction so just fly at full speed."

"What is up with you, I mean you are acting too serious now and we just arrived here" Ryu as he looked at Ryu's expression.

"Can you do it or not."

"Sure, just chill out for a second."

"God-speed!"

Ryu and Rukh flew and went to the given direction.
