The Anti-Ryosuke Plan is in Motion

Konoha

Mission Hall

Not all missions in Konoha are assigned directly at the Hokage's office.

If that were the case, the Hokage would be completely overwhelmed.

With so many ninjas in the village taking on and completing missions daily, if the Hokage had to personally oversee each one, they wouldn't have time for anything else.

Thus, Konoha has a dedicated Mission Hall where the missions are managed by designated ninjas.

In the past, this job was handled by the Sarutobi clan, but now, it has been delegated to others.

"Ryosuke-sama!"

A Chūnin from the Yamanaka clan, upon seeing Ryosuke enter with Team 10, immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.

After all, Ryosuke's influence in Konoha surpassed even Tsunade who was the Hokage.

A single word from him carried more weight than a hundred commands from Tsunade.

"Give me a B-rank mission.It should either be an assassination or an escort type mission." Ryosuke ordered.

Given his status, he no longer needed to wait for assignments. Instead, he could simply choose what he wanted.

"Understood, Ryosuke-sama!"

The Yamanaka Chūnin quickly searched the mission roster and found an escort request.

"Ryosuke-sama, there's an escort mission to the Land of Iron. Would this meet your requirements?"

Ryosuke took the scroll and examined it.

Finding no issues, he accepted the mission.

He said, "Team 10 will take on this task."

The Yamanaka Chunin replied, "Understood! I will register it immediately."

After completing the registration, the Chūnin respectfully handed the mission guide to Ryosuke.

Ryosuke said, "Thank you."

The Chunin said, "It is my honor to assist Ryosuke-sama."

After leaving the Mission Hall, Ryosuke turned to Team 10 and said, "Meet me at the village gate in an hour. Prepare yourselves."

Excitement flashed in the eyes of Ino, Shikamaru, and Chōji.

This was their first B-rank mission, and they wanted to perform well.

Inside the Mitokado Clan Compound

"Are you certain?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed. Ryosuke and Team 10 will leave the village today for an escort mission to the Land of Iron."

"Good! I've already spread the word. This time, Ryosuke will die!"

Inside a dimly lit room, three figures sat together, conspiring in hushed voices.

They were Homura, Koharu, and Shimura Saizō, the new Shimura clan leader.

"Ever since Tsunade took control, our clans of Konoha have been suppressed. We all know why she's doing this. It's because she has Ryosuke backing her."

Shimura Saizō's eyes gleamed with hatred.

"But once he's dead, Tsunade will lose all support, and she will never dare to defy us again."

The Shimura clan had suffered greatly.

Due to Danzo's crimes, they had become the target of scorn and ridicule.

Even civilian ninjas, who once feared them now looked down on them.

Just recently, a mob of Ryosuke supporters had pelted their compound with rotten eggs, leaving a stench that lasted for days.

"This humiliation cannot continue." Saizō spat.

"We must eliminate Ryosuke before it's too late!"

Homura smirked and said, "You think we're the only ones who want him dead?"

"The other villages fear him just as much as we do. If they have any sense, they'll act now while he's outside Konoha's protection."

His words carried a chilling truth.

Last night's battle had showcased Ryosuke's monstrous strength.

He was no longer just a "strong ninja". He was a threat to the entire world.

The other villages would never allow someone like him to live.

Homura sneered, "If he had simply stayed in the village, perhaps he could have survived."

"But he's too arrogant. Leaving Konoha like this is a death sentence."

Koharu coldly asked, "What about the Sarutobi clan?"

Homura answered, "We reached out to them, but their coward of a leader cut off contact the moment things got serious."

"Tch!" Koharu scoffed.

If Hiruzen were still alive, he would never have allowed his clan to become so spineless.

Did they not realize?

Tsunade's next target would be them.

If they continued to submit, within a few decades, the Sarutobi clan would cease to exist in Konoha.

Koharu said, "Ryosuke is strong and there's no denying that."

"But even the Third Raikage fell to an army of Iwagakure ninjas."

"And Ryosuke will face more than just one village."

They had leaked Ryosuke's movements to the Four Great Hidden Villages.

Their spies had witnessed everything from the battle last night.

Now, it was only a matter of time before the other Kages made their move.

After all, they wouldn't waste such a golden opportunity.

This was their one chance to kill this monster before he becomes unstoppable.

Would they let it slip away?

Of course not.

Sunagakure

In Kazekage's office.

Because Fourth Kazekage had died not long ago, the position of Kazekage had not been decided yet.

At this time!

All the top executives of Sunagakure were discussing one thing here.

"Everyone, let's take a look at these two pieces of information that were sent back from Konoha."

"One was sent back by our spies, and the other was secretly given to us by Konoha's own people."

"After reading it, we will discuss it again."

Chiyo sat on a chair, and looked at the village seniors in front of her, and said.

She was already retired.

But this time Rasa was killed, and the village had no leader.

So, she had to return to the front line again to preside over the overall situation.

Soon

Everyone in the office read the two pieces of information in their hands.

"Is this true? That Ryosuke is really so powerful?!"

"Wood release is really so powerful?"

"Is it fake? Are they exaggerating on purpose?"

After reading the two pieces of information, these people expressed doubts about the contents of the report.

"The information sent back by our own spies should not be wrong, and there are also spies in Konoha from other villages, and they also saw the big battle last night."

Chiyo tapped her cane and said, "I have already contacted Onoki of Iwagakure before, and the spies in their village got the same information, so the information about Ryosuke's strength should be true."

"This... is this still human?"

"The Senju Hashirama back then was also so strong?!"

"It's terrible! We invaded such a terrible village some time ago. Baki, it's unbelievable that you came back alive!"

The mentioned Baki looked at the speaking person with a dark face.

This is not something glorious, why is he prausing him for that?

Baki said, "Chiyo-sama, if this Ryosuke really has such terrifying strength, then I don't suggest that we offend him!"

He once saw the power of Ryosuke in the Konoha collapse plan.

At that time, the strength shown by Ryosuke was already very scary.

But it is still far from what is described in this information.

If the information is true, then Baki didn't want to raise his hands against such a terrible person.

If the 800 meter Super Wood Golem comes to Sunagakure and walks around, it doesn't have to do anything.

It can just walk around, and Sunagakure will be over.

"I don't agree with Baki's statement. Because this Ryosuke is powerful, we should get rid of him as soon as possible."

"That's right! This Ryosuke is only 12 years old. It is well known that a ninja's peak period begins after adulthood. That is to say, he may become stronger in the next few years. We can't let him grow any longer."

"But how can we get rid of this monster? I think Baki is right, we can sign an alliance treaty with Konoha again?"

"The alliance treaty? That thing is just a piece of waste paper. I think this Ryosuke should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!"

Everyone said what they thought, and some people agreed with Baki's statement—they didn't want to be an enemy of such a terrifying person.

But more people advocated taking the initiative to eliminate Ryosuke, lest Konoha take the initiative to tear up the alliance treaty in the future.

Then what will Sunagakure use to block Ryosuke's Wood release?

"Chiyo-sama, what do you think?"

These people argued and argued, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

In the end, they asked Chiyo, the only one in the village who could make the final decision.

"Baki has a point, but this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

Chiyo sighed and said: "With the power of our village, we can't fight this monster. If we want to move, we must use the power of the other three villages to kill him."

Baki asked, "Chiyo-sama, what about the Tsuchikage?"

Chiyo glanced at him and said, "Onoki wants to discuss it again."

Baki said, "Then... why don't we wait until the Tsuchikage and the others have discussed it before making a decision?"

"Isn't this being too passive?"

"What if Onoki thinks that we, Sunagakure are cowardly?"

"I think we should reach out to Iwagakure and tell them about our determination."

"Chiyo-sama, if you miss this opportunity, maybe Sunagakure will no longer exist."

"Chiyo-sama, give the order!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Chiyo pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, I'll reply to Onoki first, and if he can convince the other two villages to join forces, we, Sunagakure, will participate in this matter."

"If the other villages have different opinions, then let it go."

To be honest, having never seen the terrifying power of Ryosuke with her own eyes, Chiyo had some doubts about this information.

And!

Even if Ryosuke is really that powerful, how long can he maintain that state?

For that level of ninjutsu, how terrible is the chakra consumption?

He is only 12 years old.

With Senju blood, his chakra reserves are indeed huge, but they are not endless.

So, with crowd tactics, they have a chance at killing Ryosuke.

But!

The premise is to limit his Flying Thunder God Technique first.

Otherwise, if he he just runs away, wouldn't their people die in vain?

At the same time!

While Sunagakure was discussing and finally making a decision, similar scenes were happening in the other three villages.

The difference is that at Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage had already made a decision to kill Ryosuke.

He even planned to directly launch a war against Konoha after eliminating Ryosuke.

As for Iwagakure and Kirigakure, they were still considering it.
