Chapter 214
H . R . P Chapter 214: Unexpected Trouble
After leaving the Waterfall Village, Ryo took Pakura back to the Sand Village, and then returned to Konoha together with Shisui . When reaching the village, he went straight to the 3rd’s office to report on his mission .
As he entered, what surprised him most was the fact that in the 3rd’s office, Minato was sitting at the Hokage’s desk . The 3rd himself was on the side leisurely drinking tea .
The 3rd smiled to Ryo saying: “Hey, you’re back! Now, report to Minato and don’t bother me . ”
“Hokage sama, I remember Ni-san is scheduled to succeed you after this time . Are you leaving office ahead of schedule?”
The 3rd put down his cup of tea and said: “Well, you could say that . Minato had made great progress, and he’s at a stage where I could let him handle everything with my mind at ease . So yeah, for now, I’m giving him to position for a while, until he succeeds me officially in a few days and I officially retire!”
Ryo still had a lot to ask about, and he was for once liking the 3rd’s choice and feeling some trust in the old man, when he was interrupted by Minato: “Ryo, don’t disturb the Sandaime Sama! Don’t you have a task to report on?”
Ryo looked at Minato in surprise; didn’t he always urge Ryo to make his relationship better with the 3rd? Why stop them from talking now?
Thinking of that, Ryo felt that there might be something wrong . He telepathically asked Minato: “What’s going on Ni-san?”
“Ryo, after you leave the office, go to the west of the country, and find Tsunade sama!”
The first thing that came to Ryo’s mind was Tsunade’s medical capabilities . He immediately asked: “Are there any serious injuries requiring treatment? I can go and see!”
“No, this matter is completely different . This matter is related to the village having a new Hokage . The Daimyo would usually have someone from his family marry a Ninja from Konoha, to strengthen the relationship between both sides . ”
“Yeah, the usual political marriage, so what’s wrong?” Ryo asked .
“So the groom to be the the Daimyo’s son; and the proposed optimal bride is none other than the new Hokage’s disciple: Rin!” Minato’s thoughts sounded very helpless to Ryo .
“What? How could this be?” Ryo almost became visibly agitated .
“I don’t want this to happen as well, so I want you to go to Tsunade sama . ”
“How could she solve this matter?” Ryo didn’t think of Tsunade’s status .
“Well, Princess Tsunade is the 1st Hokage’s granddaughter and the Senju clan’s most prominent figure, on top of being one of the Sannin . Her word holds great weight . If she goes against the marriage, the matter could be forgotten . ” With this explaination, Ryo finally understood why Tsunade was needed .

“So, Ryo, please take care of the matter . The 3rd had put me in this position, probably to get me too tied up with duties, and to keep me from stopping this marriage that should benefit the village . There are also other people in the village siding with this decision; you might have some people in your way, so be careful . ”
“Don’t worry Minato Ni-san! Such people don’t matter to me . ”
Ryo cut the link with Minato and gave him a scroll about the mission, and then immediately teleported out of the office .
Seeing Ryo leave, the 3rd sighed and said: “Minato, is this your final decision?”
Minato nodded firmly: “Hokage sama, sacrificing Rin would be too unfair to her . ”
The 3rd said nothing, just showing a smile of satisfaction .
In fact, he himself did not want to agree, but the higher-ups of the Fire Country were putting too much pressure on him . The 3rd then had to cooperate with them on the matter, and used that as pretext to give the governing of the village to Minato . This way, he actually thought he would give him the most optimal position to interfere .
However, after many days of being in the position, Minato did nothing . Therefore, the 3rd feared that he might have given up, and was rather disappointed; he never thought that he was just waiting for Ryo! (T/N: Poor Hiruzen; always misjudged!)

After leaving the office, Ryo left immediately to Ryo’s place .
Sure enough, like Ryo warned, Rin’s place had three quasi kages and 7 Jonins surrounding it . They all thought they were hiding in secrecy, but Ryo had long been aware of their position .
His Ice-Lightning Chakra Mode broke out, and like a lightning bolt, he rushed into her place .
Before the 10 Ninjas had any time to react, the thunderbolt that had passed before their eyes disappeared again, along with Rin who was inside on her sofa .
“Ryo, you are finally here!” Rin said excitedly to Ryo .
For the past few days, she had been monitored by Root, and therefore was very anxious . With Ryo there she could finally relax .
“We have no time to waste Rin, we must immediately find Tsunade sama . Minato Ni-san said that she’s the only who could help you . Otherwise, if you just leave after the marriage is officially arranged, you’ll become a rogue Ninja!”
Rin did not want to have to leave the village, and said anxiously: “Then, let’s go Ryo!”

Ryo nodded, and the two disappeared outside the village .
At the same time, in Root’s headquarter, Danzo looked at the 10 Ninjas and said: “You good-for-nothings! You can’t even guard a single person!”
They all muttered random words, of which one was clear to his ears: “Ryo Yamanaka! That brat is getting more and more presumptuous! He’s disregarding Konoha’s interests for him own damn whims!”
“What’s more problematic is that this marriage was never announced officially . So, technically, we have no legitimate reason to sanction him . ” added Homura, who was in the office .
“The only way we have no is to tell the various families of Konoha about this, getting them to pressure the Ino-ShikCho to take the initiative to surrender Ryo . ” Danzo said .
“Indeed, that’s all we could do!” Homura nodded in agreement .
Indeed, all the heads of clan received news of Ryo taking away the one who’s supposed to marry the Daimyo’s son, within minutes of their agreement .
This marriage was to be very beneficial to all of Konoha, so Ryo’s behavior actually harmed many people interests .
Along with some incentives from Danzo, this was enough to get all clans to put pressure on the Ino-ShikCho alliance .
