Achieving His Goals

After waiting for almost a night, he finally met his requirements. To be safe, Ryoha opened his Mangekyo and put the guards under his genjutsu. After waking up, they would not be able to notice the changes that had happened to them before.

"Phew, it seems that the seemingly powerful Anbu in the original work is useless now. They haven't displayed their true strength. Although there are only three ninjas left here, there are two Jonins and one Special Jonin among them. If more guards are around, I can't guarantee that I can put them all under my genjutsu to prevent them from noticing."

Ryoha was not worried if he only needed to cast his genjutsu on a few ninjas, but if he used them on so many ninjas, the power of his genjutsu would be much weaker. The genjutsu was different from the ninjutsu in that genjutsu was a direct spiritual or mental confrontation. In that aspect, Ryoha was far superior. He used the power of Mangekyo and his experience to put them in confusion.

"There is not much time. Who knows when Jiraiya or the others will come back. It will be troublesome."

Activating the Mangekyo or using them for genjutsus would not worsen his eye condition or reduce his vision. Only using a Visual Jutsu would cause damage to his eyes, and then his Mangekyo would slowly be sealed.

Ryoha directly rushed into the Hokage's office and arrived in front of the desk. He opened the drawer a few times and found the Scroll of Seals. He took out his recording camera and recorded the whole content from beginning to end.

After making sure that there was no mistake, he immediately put it back in the original place and then saw that there was no difference around from before he came in. Ryoha immediately left Konoha because there were still things waiting for him to do later.

He rushed at full speed and found that the Sound Four were enhancing Sasuke's cursed mark. They were using the Mind Awakening Pill on him, so they were delayed. So Ryoha was able to catch up to them quickly.

"Leave the Third's corpse to me." Ryoha did not want the four of them to be dragged down by the Third's corpse. It was not that Ryoha was concerned about them, but when he came, he saw that in addition to Naruto, there were also Kakashi and Asuma hiding on the side.

In Ryoha's opinion, the two Jonins were around to deal with emergencies. Compared to the original work, the twelve rookies' party was much stronger.

If there were a few drags, the battle would be boring. Ryoha really wanted to enjoy the battle between them. At least before Kimimaro went on stage, this was a rare entertainment. What he saw on the computer back then was certainly not as shocking as what he saw on the scene.

"Understood." With Ryoha around, they could spare a lot of effort. Protecting Sasuke was enough to give them a headache. Now that there was one less body to be concerned about, how could they refuse?

After Ryoha created a water clone, he asked him to deliver the Third's corpse. He completely ignored the resentful expression of his clone. What a joke. Of course, the clones had to come to relieve the burden of the main body. Otherwise, what was the point of summoning them? Now Ryoha could concentrate on other big things.

"Asuma, do you think I am that useless? Your students, Kurenai's, and Guy's students were outstanding. Only me who couldn't teach a single student properly."

Kakashi sounded a little disappointed. After all, after tonight, there would only be three outcomes for Sasuke. The first was to defect and become Orochimaru's minion. The second was to be captured alive. With Naruto around, perhaps he would be fine, but lifetime restriction and surveillance would be waiting for him. The third was to be killed and brought back or to be killed and destroyed.

"Kakashi, the worst has yet to come, and your students are not only Sasuke. There are also Naruto and Sakura. Have you been focusing all your attention on Sasuke? In fact, I've always felt a bit uncomfortable with you always ignoring Naruto and Sakura."

Asuma tried to comfort Kakashi, but his words of comfort had a negative effect. Obviously, Asuma had no experience in comforting people, and he was also not the right person who could comfort Kakashi.

Black depression lines suddenly appeared on the already uncomfortable Kakashi's head since he knew that Asuma's attempt to comfort him had backfired. However, no matter what, it still cheered him up a bit. He was right. This was not the time to be pessimistic.

"Byakugan!" Neji activated his Byakugan. His vision passed through the layers of trees and quickly found the Sound Four. Under his lead, Naruto and the others were no longer blind flies. They had a clear direction.

When the rookies arrived near the resting Sound Four, they found that the four ninjas hadn't realized their presence yet. So they secretly made preparations. However, at this time, Sakon, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly threw out a handful of Kunai tied to several explosive tags on a big tree next to Neji and Shikamaru.

Although they dodged, they were blown away by the impact of the explosion and fell in front of the Sound Four.

"Tsk, I thought I would be able to make a big catch this time. Instead, I only caught a few small bugs..." Kidomaru said disappointedly, completely ignoring the two people in front of him.

"Don't misunderstand. We are only here to negotiate with you." Shikamaru raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

"Hmph, if it's just a negotiation, what are they doing?" Kidomaru said coldly. Invisible threads suddenly pulled out Naruto, Kiba, and Neji, but Kiba threw a smoke bomb before landing.

"What are these?" Kidomaru planned to move his body but found that he could not move. It turned out that he had been caught by the Shikamaru's shadow. Just when Shikamaru thought his plan was successful, some kunais were thrown at him from his right, foiling his plan.

"Earth Release Barrier - Earth Prison Dome!" Jirobo pressed his hands on the ground, and suddenly the ground under his feet split up, creating a spherical dome that trapped Naruto and the others inside.

"Leave those fools to me. I want to recover my strength as soon as possible." When the Sound Four took Sasuke out of Konoha, they met two special Jonins.

Although they was able to defeat them with their combined strength, they also consumed a lot of energy, so they couldn't finish off the two Special Jonins.

Because if they wanted to kill them, the two Special Jonins' counterattack would be enough to kill two out of the four of them. Moreover, this was not their territory. They were not here to fight. If they stayed too long, they would attract other people from Konoha, so they could only leave as soon as possible after defeating them.

However, the battle with two special Jonins made them consume a lot of chakra, and their cursed mark was exhausted because of the long battle. Otherwise, they would not have stopped to rest for so long.
