Chapter 148
H . R . P Chapter 148: Important Mission
Seeing that no one treated him differently for being an Uchiha, Shisui breathed a sigh of relief .
However, everyone was somewhat curious: how strong is the 9 year old Shisui? After all, Ryo’s 1st disciple shouldn’t be too weak .
With that in mind, most of them proposed that he should face Kakashi . Kakashi was already at the level of an elite Jonin . Even if this was the 9 year old Ryo, he would have a hard time beating Kakashi .
Ryo didn’t object, and nodded for Shisui to start .
Against Kakashi, Shisui lost badly; he was still far from beating an elite Jonin .
Nevertheless, his performance was also astonishing: Lightning Chakra Mode, special Body Flicker variations, Crow Replacement Clones, and terrifying Dojutsu talent at the mere age of nine .
“So, I have an eye for talent don’t you think?” Ryo said with a bit of a flamboyant tone .
“Well, the kid is good!” Said Jiraya seriously .
“That is true . In talent, while not comparable to you, he seems to even exceed Kakashi . If all goes well, he’ll definitely become Kage tier!” Sakumo was also pretty impressed .
Minato said nothing, and Kushina was so happy that her apprentice had such a disciple .
“Shisui, are you okay?”After seeing Shisui lose to Kakashi, the little boy that accompanied him ran over to him anxiously .
“Hey! Isn’t that Mikoto’s son? His name is…” kushina glanced at the Child with Shisui .
“Itachi!” Minato reminded her .
“Yes, it’s Itachi!”
Hearing that name, Ryo immediately turned to the boy .
If one asked about the greatest Ninja in Naruto, they would get many different opinions .
But if they asked about the best brother in Naruto, most would answer without hesitation: “Itachi!”
Itachi was the center of many debates in Ryo’s past life; whether or not he could beat pain, if he could beat Jiraya with Sage mode, etc…
Ryo thought that Itachi shouldn’t be able to beat Jiraya, let alone Pain .
Itachi in Shippuden period was just too ill, and he wasn’t even able to form a perfect Susanoo .
However, in the Data book, he had the same score as Jiraya . Ryo believed that if he wasn’t as ill, the battle between the two could go both ways .
As for Pain, the Rinnegan was just too powerful and different . Even Jiraya couldn’t defeat his student as he didn’t know his secret before it was too late . .
However, no matter what, Ryo was still a huge fan of Itachi’s character .

Like the case of Jiraya with Naruto, Itachi’s main role was that of a guide to his brother . If it wasn’t for him, Sasuke wouldn’t have returned to the right path .
His relationship with Shisui was also explained in the Manga, with the later being his mentor .
Ryo didn’t want to interfere with Itachi’s growth, as he was a perfect Ninja to him . He felt that no one should interfere with him .
With Itachi around him Shisui didn’t really practice, and the two just returned home after everyone got to know them .
Two days later, Yugao finished her mission and finally returned . On the mission, she had to kill the thief . It was the 1st time she killed anyone, so she wasn’t feel good about that .
Ryo did not know how to comfort her . Looking at the unhappy young girl, his mood was down as well .
Fortunately, Anko made her feel a lot better . Seeing her in a better mood after a few days, Ryo was finally relieved .
At this time, the 3rd’s Anbu found Ryo, and reported to himthat the 3rd ordered him to immediately go to his office .
As the two entered the office together, they found Jiraya there as well .
“I’ll cut to the chase . I have an important mission I want you to carry out . ” Said the 3rd seriously .
“What’s the task?” Jiraya knew the 3rd’s character well, and he knew that he wouldn’t act so seriously about a trivial matter .
“Jiraya, Ryo, as you both know, during this war, we managed to make the Sand and the Cloud sign peace treaties with us . Now, we still have to face the mist and the Rock . ”

“Hokage Sama, are you thinking of taking the initiative?” Ryo speculated on the 3rd’s intention and asked .
“Yes . The plan is to start with the hidden Rock . But the Mist’s situation makes me worried .
“The Mist? Old man, are you worried that the Mist might suddenly attack us?” Asked Jiraya .
“Well, after all, it was Konoha that killed the 3rd Mizukage . Normally, the 4th Mizukage’s 1st order would be to seek revenge against us . ”
“In our current state, even if the Mist attack, we have nothing to fear . Is there anything you’re particularly concerned about?” Asked Ryo .
“Kid, it’s not them that we should fear . It’s their potential union with the Rock to launch a surprise attack . That could cost us a lot . ” Jiraya tried to explain the 3rd’s concerns .
“I’m not just worried about that . The situation in the Mist village is too strange; I can’t keep my mind of it . That’s why, I want the two of you two to sneak into the Mist Village and collect information about their current state . ”
after Jiraya and Ryo looked at each other, they both accepted this mission .
Jiraya was an expert when it came to gathering intelligence . That, along with Ryo’s Ice Teleportation, should make such a mission really easy for them .
“This is an S class mission . You two should remain undetected, and keep this mission’s details a secret to anyone outside this meeting room . ” The 3rd was firm as he gave his final instructions .
After leaving his office, Ryo and Jiraya agreed to leave together on the following morning .
Early the next morning, at the gate of the Konoha Country, Jiraya and Ryo started their journey to the Water Country .

Since the previous day, Ryo was thinking about the 3rd’s last words: “Keep this mission’s details a secret to anyone outside this meeting room . ”
It might just sound like the 3rd was telling them to be secretive, but Ryo kept thinking that something was wrong .
Jiraya was also thinking about this mission being S Class, while being seemingly very normal .
The two remained silent on their route, with Ryo worrying mostly about the mission details and the infiltration method that they were to take .
After arriving at the Wave Country, Jiraya said: “Ryo, this time we are posing as Wave Country merchant . After all, the Mist is also the center of the Water Country’s trading . Merchants walking in shouldn’t look too much out of place . ”
Ryo nodded, he didn’t have as much experience as Jiraya with such missions, so he just did as the Sannin said .
Jiraya changed his close with ones he had prepared in advance, and he and Ryo used the Transformation Jutsu .
After getting in disguise, the two looked like two big belly rich businessmen .
With this appearance, Jiraya went on and find a big sailboat .
Jiraya spent some money on getting the ship and hiring some civilians help with Rowing . In the cabin, he had several Soldier pills and a lot of water that they brought along from Konoha .
This way, after completing the preparations, a “merchant ship” set off from the Wave Country .
