Chapter 159
H . R . P Chapter 159: Everyone’s Support
As Ryo was about to leave, he was stopped by Orochimaru who seemed to remember something .
“Ryo kun, tales of your battle against the Mist Village have spread out, and while you were using a technique similar to that of the Akamishi clan’s, your Sharingan was also exposed . ”
Hearing Orochimaru, Ryo recalled using the Sharingan while using Ice Colossus, and realized that his secret had been leaked .
Ryo knew all too well that once his Sharingan would be exposed, he’ll definitely have trouble .
“Orochi san, have the Uchiha harassed my mother in the past few days?” Ryo asked a little anxiously .
“Yes, but they were stopped by Minato and Kushina . ”
Knowing that his mother had the protection of those two on top of his clan’s made Ryo feel a lot less worried .
“Orochi san, the Hoka…”
“Sarutobi sensei has appeased the Uchiha clan’s head, but other members of the tribe are still very dissatisfied . ” Orochimaru carried on talking, telling Ryo what he knew .
Ryo understood that higher-ups of the village were now divided into two factions: Danzo and Homura sided with Uchiha, while Koharu took Hiruzen’s side .
The Uchiha do not allow their bloodline to spread into other clans . According to their internal rules, Ryo must now “return” to his clan, or abolish any signs of the Uchiha Bloodline .
Of course, their bloodline was reflected in his Sharingan . Not returning to the clan meant that he had to pluck out his eyes .
Those familiar with Ryo knew that he would never want to rejoin the clan .
In the high level meeting about the matter, Danzo and Homura were clearly showing their support of the Uchiha’s case . As a result, Kushina was enraged . This evolved into her colliding with Danzo .
Minato wasn’t about to stop her; Jiraya hadn’t come back yet, Orochimaru and Sakumo weren’t interfering either . Helplessly, the 3rd had to interfere himself and stop the raging Kushina .
This made her furious, and left on the spot, slamming the door behind her, with Minato following after her .
After that, Kushina and Minato both publicly stepped up to stop the Uchiha .
The Red Hot Habanero, and Konoha’s Yellow Flash were not people that the Uchiha clan could afford to offend . They could only choose to temporarily retreat .
After listening to Orochimaru, Ryo was very touched by Kushina and Minato’s unconditional support .
This was especially true with Minato, who had always been most loyal to the village, and was now willing to go against its higher up just for Ryo’s sake . This made the latter very moved .
“It wasn’t just those two supporting you!” Anko came down the stairs, speaking in an awkward tone .

Ryo looked back at her, and she continued: “In fact, Orochimaru sensei, Jiraya san, and Sakumo san all have been to the Uchiha’s district . ”
“Orochi san, you…”
“We went to the clan’s head to talk about your issue . He promised that there will be no reason to pursue the matter of your identity if if you could get the clan’s elite to accept that . ”
Ryo knew that things were not as simple as Orochimaru was describing . A heavy price must have been payed to make the Uchiha clan’s head promise such a thing .
However, Ryo was wrong . There was indeed a small price, but the Uchiha were the ones who had to pay .
Before the three went to the clan, they all thought of what they should do .
Jiraya was concerned with the fact that they were still at war . If this matter was to cause too much conflict with the Uchiha clan, it would be too harmful to the village . His suggestion was to persuade the Uchiha to leave this matter to be discussed after the war ends .
Sakumo on the other hand did not agree with that . The Uchiha at the time had no Kage tier Ninjas at the time . They only had a few Quasi Kage tier Ninjas . The three of them should be able to annihilate the entire clan! If they don’t obey, they’d just beat them into obedience .
As for Orochimaru, he just wanted the matter to be handled quickly so he could go back to the lab and continue his research . If it wasn’t Ryo’s who’s involved, he would’ve been too lazy to even give the matter any attention .
Each one of the trio had his own thoughts . When they entered the district, and met Katachi Uchiha . Jiraya gave his proposal, but unfortunately, it was refused .
Seeing that reason wasn’t working, Sakumo no longer hesitated . Orochimaru also felt that it would be easier to handle the issue in Sakumo’s way .

The two subdued the majority of the Uchiha’s Ninja’s present . In the end, Katachi agreed to let Ryo off as long as he could convince their elite clansmen .
After knowing all the circumstances, Ryo bid farewell to Orochimaru and Anko and used the Teleportation Barrier to get straight home .
As soon as he returned, he head straight to Chinse’s room .
Unsurprisingly, as soon as she saw her son, she immediately began talking about the matter of his identity .
Ryo was all she had in life . Facing such a matter, she became anxious and her life turned into chaos .
Now, as she finally got to see her son, he poured the contents of her heart to him .
Ryo was staring at him mother, who was actually looking older because of all the stress this brought down on her . It was very distressing .
The image he always had of his mother was that of this calm strong woman . It was the 1st time he ever saw her be so flustered .
In fact, to Chinse, the experience of bringing up Ryo had put under tremendous pressure . For a decade and a half, their secret had been like a boulder upon her heart .
She was just a Tokubetsu Jonin that’s good at medical Ninjutsu . The Uchiha was one of the two eldest clans of the village . It was a behemoth, frightening to go against, even for the entire Ino-ShikCho alliance .
The huge power gap forced her to remain vigilant at all time .

Now, the exposure of her son’s identity was the final straw that finally broke her down . The day for her to face the Uchiha Clan finally came .
The anxiety made her collapse over the past days, turning her extremely gaunt . However, everyone support helped her a lot . Hearing what Jiraya, Orochimaru and Sakumo have done was especially comforting .
Chinse was a young medical Ninja in the 2nd world war, fighting under these men . Sakumo and the Sannin were synonym to omnipotence to her generation .
“Mom, you can rest assured! I can protect you . Now, I’m at the tier of the great Sannin! I’ll never let anyone hurt you .
Hearing her son, her tense eyebrows finally relaxed, and she finally showed a faint smile .
Ryo’s words made her relax completely . She believed him, and him being at that level, convinced her that he could handle all of this .
From then on, Ryo remained with his mother in her room until she fell asleep .
After coming out of the room, Ryo’s scarlet eyes glowed in the dark .
He was never a saint, and he definitely wasn’t about to become one as his mother and clan are being threatened .
Now, all he wanted was to use his own strength, so that Chinse would never be disturbed by anyone ever again, and could have a happy life .
