H . R . P Chapter 133: Apprentice
Unexpectedly, Ryo was able to remain in Konoha for over a month . In addition to improving his Ice Teleportation, he also met Yugao quite often .
“Hey, Yugao, what do you want to have today?” In the early morning, Ryo took Yugao to Ichiraku Ramen .
Over the past month, he actually took her here very often . The owner Teuchi always greeted them and welcomed them happily .
After eating Ramen, the two would go to the 3rd training ground, where Ryo would teach Yugao Kenjutsu .
Like in the Manga, Yugao loved Kenjutsu, and Ryo, being Sakumo’s student for a very long time, had some Hatake clan style knowledge that he was passing on to her .
As Ryo was immersed in this world of his, the 3rd was already working on his next plan .
In his office, a young 9 year-old boy was standing before him .
The 3rd looked at the boy’s black hair, and felt nostalgic about his old days .
The kid didn’t show the slightest signs of being under tension while standing before the Hokage, and he quietly waited for his orders .
He was Uchiha Shisui, one of the Uchiha’s geniuses, and the one to be later on known as Shisui of the Body Flicker .
He was a descendent of Kagami Uchiha, the 3rd Hokage’s comrade, and he was also to become Itachi’s greatest friend and mentor .
The 3rd reminisced for quite some time about his days with his old pal Kagami, before finally coming back to his mind .
“Sorry, sorry, I’ve been distracted . Shisui, you have graduated two years ago! How has your training with your clan been going?” Asked the 3rd with a smile .
“Thanks for your concern Hokage Sama, my clan has been very kind to me . ” Shisui answered politely .
After early graduation, usually Ninjas would get trained by their own clans for a while before joining a team . Shisui was no exception .
This had several purposes: It was an efficient way to help a genin master his clan’s signature techniques, while giving him a deeper sense of belonging .
After graduating from the Academy at the age of 7, Shisui had been studying Ninjutsu with his clan for two years .
According to customs, it was about time for him to join the ranks of other Ninjas in his clan and begin performing tasks .
As the 3rd was very impressed of the young genius, he invited specifically to ask him if he had preference for a certain future instructor had .
“Shusui, you know I was a good friend to Kagami . If you have any Jonin you want as your instructor, just tell me . ” The 3rd directly asked young Shisui .
“Hokage sama, I have no requirements, as long as the instructor is strong enough . I need to learn and become stronger to contribute to Konoha’s prosperity as soon as possible . ” Said Shisui firmly .
The 3rd laughed, and felt that the kid had indeed inherited his comrade’s will . He felt very relieved; the more he talked with Shisui, the more he was impressed .
“Speaking of powerful Ninjas, right now, we have two who are pretty strong . One is Minato, and the other is Ryo . Minato already has desciples, so how does Ryo sound to you?” Asked the 3rd .
“Ryo? Ryo Yamanaka sama?” Ryo’s reputation had reached Shisui, just like everyone else in Konoha .
“Yes, that one . He’s Kage tier, powerful, and had just returned from the Lightning Country’s battlefield . ”
“Hokage sama, will Ryo Yamanaka sama be willing to teach me?” Shisui thought about the relationship between the Yamanaka and the uchiha clan, and then asked awkwardly .
“Of course! Anbu, go to the 3rd training ground and bring along Ryo Yamanaka!” The 3rd wanted to prove he wasn’t talking out of nothing .
The Anbu went, and in no time, he reached Ryo .
After a while, Ryo, his face gloomy after having his private world invaded, entered the office .
The 3rd noticed his face, but didn’t ask much . He just said with a smile: “Ryo, I have an apprentice for you . He…”
“I don’t want an apprentice . I’ll excuse myself, see you Hokage sama!” Ryo said as he turned around to leave .
“Cough, Hokage sama, it seems that Ryo san was having some sort of date that we have interrupted . ” Whispered the Anbu to the 3rd .
The 3rd face blushed . He understood why Ryo was so gloomy entering the office . “Cough! Ryo, hold on!”
“What else Hokage sama?”
“Ryo, if you accept this apprentice, I promise to never disturb a date of yours again . Also, you won’t struggle with Shisui, he’s a genius! He just needs a good teacher to guide him . ” The 3rd Said .
“Shisui?”
“Yes! Shisui Uchiha, his clan’s latest prodigy!”
Hearing that name, Ryo immediately decided to accept the new apprentice . Just Shisui’s Mangekyo Sharingan was enough to intrigue him, let alone his nickname, Shisui of the Body Flicker .
Ryo saw Shisui, who was quite nervous, stepping in, and he nodded in approval .
Seeing Ryo’s approval, the 3rd was relieved . He nodded as well to Shisui, and said goodbye to Ryo .
Shisui walked towards Ryo . Just when he reached him, the latter put his hand over his shoulder and said: “Close your eyes!”
Hearing Ryo, Shisui closed his eyes immediately .
Using the Teleportation Barrier, Ryo reached the 3rd training ground with Shisui .
“Hokage sama, was that the Flying Thunder God?” asked the Anbu in surprise .
The 3rd shook his head and said: “No… this is another technique created by Minato . I didn’t expect that the kid would learn it so quickly!”
Shisui, who was taken to the 3rd training ground, was looking around in awe .
“Now you can introduce yourself!”
Hearing Ryo, Shisui turned to his new instructor and said immediately: “Ryo Yamanaka sama, I’m Uchiha Shisui, it’s my honor to meet you!”
“Drop the Sama part . Since I accepted being your teacher, you’re my apprentice now . Just call me Sensei! “
“Yes, Sensei!”
“Alright!”
After establishing their relationship, the 1st thing Ryo did was making Shisui face Yugao .
With Ryo’s power, Shisui wouldn’t have a chance to show what he’s all about . The only one around that was fitting for this fight was Yugao .
While Shisui was the Uchiha clan’s genius, Yugao had practiced Kenjutsu with Kakashi when she was young, and then learned more of the Hatake Style with Ryo recently . Even though she was so young, she was already at the level of a Chunin .
However, Shisui was still on a whole other level, and she had no way to handle such an opponent .
