This time, Bulma's explanation was relatively simple. Even Ryoha, a total stranger to science, roughly understood what Bulma meant. Thus, he calmed down and walked out. He also knew that when an inventor did their research, they needed a quiet environment without any disturbance. Even Bulma was no exception.
Is someone coming? Oh? He didn't appear directly. It seems that the genjutsu that I cast on that ANBU ninja was effective. I hate the situation where the ANBU suddenly appeared in someone else's house the most. Ryoha's lips curved slightly. He was very satisfied with the actions of the spy around him this time.
"Come in, but don't wander around inside. Otherwise, don't blame me for your death." Sure enough, when he opened the door, he saw an Anbu ninja wearing a fox mask.
"Ryoha, the Third Hokage wants to see you. Please come with me." This Anbu obviously had the Third's order. He was also someone who knew some things about Ryoha. He completely ignored Ryoha's slightly threatening and rude words and directly conveyed the Third's order.
"I also want to see why he is looking for me for. During the Chunin Exam, I met Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin. Just before, I fought with Jiraiya, also one of the Legendary Sannin. Haha, this is really interesting. The Third is looking for a fight again, right? Then I have to prepare."
Ryoha's muttering scared the Anbu in front of him to death, but he didn't show it. He understood Ryoha's strength. Ryoha could even make Yugao, who was stronger than him, fall into his genjutsu without any resistance.
This kind of strength was not something he could resist. In this world, the strong reigned supreme. No matter how old they were, as long as one had great strength, age was not a problem.
Ryoha's words were not a joke. He knew too well about the Third. If he was not the Hokage, he would indeed be a very kind grandpa. But the problem was that he loved Konoha to the bones, surpassing everything, including his own life and his disciples.
Ryoha was already a threat to Konoha and now there was Orochimaru coming back to the village. Moreover, he and Jiraiya fought evenly, and he even attacked the Anbu assigned to spy on him. Therefore, even the Third did not dare to look down on him. He humbled himself and personally summoned him.
Ryoha secretly made a gesture to Haku. If there was a battle in the Hokage's office, she would immediately take Bulma away. Bulma would also know what to do. Ryoha and Bulma had already prepared for the worst situation many years ago.
Soon, the two arrived at the Hokage's office. The Anbu suddenly disappeared. However, Ryoha knew that he was hiding to the side. Ryoha didn't care. These guys were not enough to deal with him.
Now, aside from the Third and Danzo's many Sharingans, only Asuma, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Guy were able to attack him at the same time. The other Jonins were not much of a threat to him. Even if they ganged up on him, Ryoha was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Even in the face of the Third, Ryoha was not afraid. His mind matured with his strength. He was already a tough warrior. How could he be afraid of the strong? At that time, he would just have to use all his trump cards.
However, all of this was just his own guess. With Konoha having a hard time, the Third was a person who couldn't advance or defend himself. Moreover, he was getting older and more indecisive. It was very difficult for him to be decisive.
"Hokage-sama." Ryoha looked straight at the old man in front of him. His expression didn't change at all. He had a tough expression on his face. Not only did the Third not get angry, he even felt a bit happy in his heart. To have such calmness at such a young age, he was no ordinary ninja.
"Do you know why I asked you to come?" The Third showed a kind smile. He really wasn't a kind old man. Once someone violated the interests of Konoha, even if it was his own son, he would still be cold-blooded.
"Meet me alone. Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Ryoha looked around. No one was around besides the loyal Anbu hiding on the side. Even Homura and Koharu were not there. It could be said that they were meeting each other alone because the Anbu nearby would rot in his stomach if he overheard them.
"You are as smart as I know, especially your sense of danger. I think you were ready to defect from the time the Anbu came to inform you."
The Third's words shocked Ryoha. Sure enough, how could a person who could be called the God of Shinobi be so simple? Even if this man was old, he still got it.
"Yes, I have been living at the bottom of Konoha all these years. I am very clear about the corruption of Konoha. I have already made preparations. Even if you all come at me together, you can only defeat me and not kill me. And if I leave, with my potential, I think I will be able to come back in two years. At that time, no one in Konoha will be able to stop me, including you."
Although Ryoha was calm, he knew that the Third wanted to use words to make him lose his composure and at the same time letting his momentum lose its edge. This way, Ryoha would be forced to be at his mercy. But Ryoha was not afraid.
"This is the truth, but I didn't expect you to be so bold to say something like that. But you are right. Your potential is what Konoha values and worries about." The Third's eyes showed a trace of emotion. Jiraiya was right. This kid definitely had a trump card.
"Courage is related to strength. Without enough strength, you would lack confidence. I don't think I will be this kind of person. As for what you said about Konoha values me, I'm sorry, but forgive me for being slow.
"I can't feel it at all. Let alone the distance from them, my instructor's guidance to me is close to zero. I learned all ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu I know by myself. The only time Konoha actually taught me ninjutsu might be when I was in the Academy."
Hao Liu said disdainfully. He didn't give the Third anything at all. This was a confrontation of momentum, but his method of confrontation was changed. He did not directly release his momentum, but he used words to build up his momentum, to overwhelm the other side.
"Sure enough, Kakashi, you disappoint me too much." The Third sighed in his heart. He did not expect Kakashi to still be so lazy. He also knew that Kakashi's teaching was very biased. Not to mention that just now, Kakashi was teaching Sasuke the Chidori, but for Naruto, he casually hired another teacher for him.
Although Kakashi did this to prevent Naruto from being too strong and uncontrollable when he lost his control, it could be seen that Kakashi was not suitable to be a teacher at all. He did not know how to take care of his students.
