H . R . P Chapter 125: Proposal
Minato led his troops out of the battlefield . Although Onoki was somewhat dissatisfied with that, he wasn’t in a situation to confront Minato at the time .
The 3rd Raikage was left on his own . To Onoki, this was a golden opportunity to kill him .
After Minato left, Onoki immediately let all his troops attack the 3rd Raikage .
The 3rd Raikage’s face was heavy . Yes, he was seen as an invincible man . But was he really invincible? The Rock Ninjas were innumerable . Facing nearly 10 . 000 men along with Onoki, he realized that this might not end up well .
In fact, when Konoha and the Rock got united, that should have made him retreat already .
With Kushina’s attack, the effect of having to perfect Jinchuriki on the battlefield was absolutely decimated, and the 3rd Raikage actually wanted to stop the fight . He was the village’s Kage, so naturally he didn’t lack wisdom . It was very clear to him that this battle was going to end in a double defeat .
He was actually waiting for a reason to retreat early, one that wouldn’t hurt the Cloud Ninjas morale .
However, he didn’t expect that said reason would actually be an attack on his village .
Under these circumstances, the 3rd Raikage chose to be left behind by his troops to block the Rock Ninjas, even at the expense of his life .
Even though he knew that his death might be the end, he did not hesitate . For the future of the village, he could sacrifice anything including his life .
In contrast to the Raikage’s gloominess, Onoki had a smile on his face . He was about to get rid of one of his biggest worries; he couldn’t help but smile .
Under his orders, the 3rd Raikage was rushed at by the Rock Ninjas . The Raikage’s Lightning Chakra Mode seemed to have become ever more violent, and he started throw those rushing on him away .
The two Kages, along with the 3rd Hokage and Hanzo, were at the top of the scale when it came to power in world of Ninja . The ordinary Rock Ninjas were all jumping to their deaths .
A single strike from the 3rd Raikage was capable of throwing away dozens . Onoki saw that happening and his face became heavy . However, he didn’t call for retreat . They had already started; they must end this and kill this enemy .
Over ten thousand of the Rock Ninjas kept coming in waves at the 3rd Raikage, who tirelessly waved his fists throwing them away .
As time passed, and after over two hours of constant attack, he still didn’t have a scratch on his body, while corpses of the Rock Ninjas were paving the floors all around him .
Onoki was getting more and more frustrated, as the 3rd Raikage’s power seemed to be beyond all imagination . And because of the corpses of his fellow Rock Ninjas surrounding his target, he couldn’t just hit his foe with Dust Release without destroying them .
The 3rd Raikage’s eyes were red, like a raging bull, while the Rock Ninjas who saw the corpses of their fellow Ninjas got more frustrated and enraged as well . They kept rushing at their target endlessly .
In the Cloud village, the troops finally returned, and Ryo who was well aware of their arrival had already left the village .
A looked at the ruins of his village, roaring in wrath, and everyone in the Cloud troops felt the same fury .
Compared to the 3rd Raikage, A had a much more aggressive temper, and was relatively simple minded at the time . If he wasn’t reminded by a fellow Ninjas, he wouldn’t even think about limiting casualties .
When the other Cloud Ninjas did their statistics, A and some of the stronger Cloud Ninjas were sitting side by side in front of the ruin of what used to be the Raikage’s office building .
“Hey, you think that even this time, father will be okay?” A was worried about the 3rd Raikage, for he was facing over 10000 Ninjas on his own .
“Aniki, yo, the 3rd Raikage is too strong and very, powerful I you don’t really have to worry, Bakayaro, Konoyaro!”
“Don’t call me a baka, yaro!” A hit B’s head .
But in anyway, B’s words make A feel much better . Although he was reckless, he knew that his presence in the village was necessary, and didn’t go back to the battlefield on his own .
In the Cloud’s current state, they shouldn’t be fighting .
As for Konoha, Minato returned to the camp after a while . Worrying about Kushina, he directly went to see her .
The 1st thing he saw was Kushina remaining upong Gamabunta’s head . The latter felt ignored, for Minato didn’t seem to even notice his presence . Without thinking, he jumped to the top of his head, and squatted down .
Kushina who was opening her eyes had her vision blurry, and she felt like she was on that night when Minato saved her in her childhood .
“Kushina, your red hair is still so beautiful . ”
She saw his bright smile and heard his praise, and her pale face turned red in an instant .
“Kushina, let’s get married after this war!”
That, was the last thing she expected to hear under such circumstances . Her mind went blank, and Minato smiled and said nothing, he just used Flying Thunder God and took her to his tent so that she could rest .
The poor Gamabunta who had to endure their romantics just relieved himself from his duties and returned to Mount Myoboku .
The other Konoha Ninjas didn’t hear Minato say a thing, as they were all too far away . However, they saw him hold Kushina and leave, and they all felt awkward .
An hour later, Ryo returned to the camp as well .
The 1st thing he did was going to Minato’s tent; he had something important to immediately say to him .
When he arrived, all he saw was the couple kissing each other passionately .
He got intrigued and just stood there watching with a smile . And the two, with Kushina’s enhanced senses and Minato’s Yellow Flash awareness, were both so out of it that they didn’t notice him .
As their kiss ended, Kushina opened her eyes and saw Ryo standing there, and her face turned as red as a ripe apple, and then she gasped and fainted .
Ryo had been a doctor in his past life, and great medical Ninja here . He could recognize someone faking fainting with ease, but he said nothing here .
Being a man, Minato didn’t care as much, and his face didn’t blush, nor did he gasp when seeing Ryo . He calmly asked: “Ryo, what do you want?”
Ryo was impressed by his calmness, while finding it funny as well . He felt like teasing him, but he didn’t have time for that . He said: “ Minato Ni-san, you and I should immediately attack the Cloud Village at once!”
“Attaking the Cloud? Why!” Minato didn’t want to get involved with the battle between the Rock and the Cloud . If Ryo didn’t have a convincing reason, Minato wasn’t going for it .
“The 3rd Riakge is being attacked by Onoki’s troops . While he’s as strong as they come, it’s only a matter of time before he’s killed . We should just gain time for the Rock, and not let the Cloud rescue the 3rd Raikage . When their Kage dies, the Cloud would certainly want to wage war against the Rock again . With that, we could force the Cloud to sign a peace treaty, and the Lightning Country war-front will be over!”
Minato gave what Ryo suggested some thought, and then finally nodded .
