Chapter 88
After the Rock’s retreat, Konoha’s Ninja’s cheered . They have been in the Earth Country’s battlefield for over a year and eating loss after loss . Some of them even fell into tears of joy because of the victory .
“Ryo, I’ll go back now . Call me at any time!” Gamahiro went back to Mount Myoboku .
“Orochimaru, remember my 200 sacrifices!” Manda disappeared as well .
“Orochi san, your summoned beast is really… different!” Ryo has always hated Manda’s character, and took the chance to badmouth him .
“Don’t worry about it; he’s always been that way . ” After finishing his words, Orochimaru returned to the battlefield, to arrange Konoha’s Ninja’s retreat .
On that night, Konoha’s camp celebrated the victory . During this battle, they managed to take the lives of nearly the thousand Rock Ninjas at the cost of 700 injuries and a few deaths . On the Rock side, injuries were countless .
The joy of this victory wasn’t only limited to Ordinary Ninjas, but in Orochimaru’s tent, even the clan representatives were full of excitement and Joy .
On the other side, the Rock camp was gloomy, and the elites of the Rock had a meeting .
“Tsuchikage sama, I can assure you that there’s another Kage tier in Konoha’s camp along with Orochimaru . ” Gari was really upset and ashamed of his escape .
“Yes Gari, I met him on the battlefield today, and he is indeed incredibly strong . He was even able to block my Dust Release attack!” Said Onoki, nodding in agreement .
“Tsuchikage sama, is he the one that had that immense summoning?” A Jonin asked .
“It should be him . When I saw him, the kid was sitting on top of his head . ”
“Tsuchikage sama, is this Toad the one that Jiraya the Sannin is famous for?” Another jonin asked .
“It’s the same kind of beast, but not the same one . And this kid is not on par with Jiraya yet either . ”
“Tsuchikage sama, would you like to call Roshi into this battlefield?” Said Gari after some hesitation .
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
Seeing everyone’s agreement, Onoki could only promise to send someone to find the Yonbi Jinchuriki .
Konoha’s Ninjas had no idea about the Sand’s plans, and Ryo had no idea that he was meeting his sworn enemy so soon .
The next day, Ryo’s medical team was assigned into treating the minor injuries, while Ryo was assigned by Orochimaru to teach Anko .
Orochimaru himself was too busy because of repercussions of the battle .
Yesterday, he actually had Anko fighting on the battlefield . He was never a soft-hearted person . He hoped to see her grow as fast as possible, so the battlefield was his best option .
However, she saw Ryo’s performance yesterday, and that did not feel good!

She had graduated over a year and a half ago, and she was one of Orochimaru the Sannin’s disciples . Now, her strength is just that of a Chunin .
However Ryo, without having Orochimaru the Sannin as a teacher, is now at least Kage Tier . Her old classmate was far ahead of her, making her envious and filling her heart with doubts .
“Hey, Ryo can I ask? At what tier are you now?”
“I’m on the tier that Orochi san is on . Still, I’m not as strong as him . ” Ryo had nothing to hide from his old classmate, and this was no secret anyway .
“You’re Kage tier! I remember you were just one year older than me! You’re really a freak!” She was a bit embarrassed as she said that to Ryo .
“Hey we’re classmates, you’re going a bit far aren’t you?!”
Hearing him, she realized she shouldn’t have said that . Anko was similar in character to Naruto . She looked at him with her big eyes and apologized without hesitation .
Ryo shook his head helplessly, and then started teaching her .
Most Ninjutsu’s were not the way to go . His knowledge in that field were nothing next to that of Orochimaru, he wouldn’t add anything .
With Taijutsu, he could teach her anything either . His Taijutsu was always a weak point of his; he was never the physical type .
Giving it some thought, he decided to teach her Body Flicker techniques . Ryo’s blinking method was the Lightning Chakra Flicker, relying on lightning to stimulate his cellular activity, increasing his strength greatly .

There were many blinking techniques . Ryo’s particular knowledge of this technique was on another level . He could also use them to achieve speed much faster than what most Ninjas could achieve .
He started by asking about whether or not she had Lightning affinity . After confirming she didn’t, he could only teach her the regular body flicker .
He explained the details of his method to Anko and demonstrated the technique and its effects .
Afterwards, he started training her, while making some ice scalpels for his stock .
“Ryo, the energy in your blades is so special!” Anko was attracted by the natural energy in his Ice Scalpels, making her look at his curiously .
“Anko, you can feel the special energy in the Ice Scalpels?”
Ryo became really curious about Anko . He did not expect that other than him, other people could perceive Natural Energy without being trained by a Sage .
“Yes I can, it’s like that of Manda!”
“Anko, have you ever tried to control this energy?”
“Yes, but I could never absorb it, so I gave up . ” Anko said with some disappointment .
Ryo nodded and did not continue to ask, while she was still interested in watching him make the scalpels .

“Anko, practice the Body Flicker Jutsu . If your progress satisfies me, I’ll give you one of these scalpels!” Seeing how interested she was in them, Ryo decided to make them her incentive to train harder .
She immediately agreed and went on to continue her training immediately .
In the evening, Ryo checked out her progress . For a beginner, the level she reached was really good . Ryo gave her no observations, and rewarded her hard work with an Ice Scalpel .
Ryo and Anko returned to the camp, and the two went to Orochimaru’s tent .
“Ryo kun, what did you teach her today?” Orochimaru, who had great expectations of the training session, directly asked .
“I taught her the Body Flicker Jutsu . She didn’t do bad . ”
“The Body Flicker Jutsu? Anko sure is lucky to have such a generous classmate!”
After chatting for a while, Orochimaru felt that Ryo had something to say, and trying to find an opportunity to bring it up . He asked: “Ryo kun, is there anything?”
Ryo did not think that Orochimaru would be so sharp, and helplessly smiled and said: “Orochimaru san, do you know that Anko can naturally sense natural energy?”
“I know, but I haven’t practiced the Sage Mode . I have nothing to teach her about it!”
Ryo nodded, and asked no questions . He actually thought about it, helping Anko absorb Natural Energy . Still, he wasn’t sure of success, so he simply did not propose .
