Hokage: Ryo's Path Chapter 519

As soon as the Ninja's headquarters received the news, Yamanaka Inoichi immediately told Yamanaka Ryo where Senju Tobirama was.
After knowing Kabuto's position, Yamanaka Ryo felt at ease. Because, as soon as the Edo Tensei army appeared, he had already sent someone to look for Kabuto's whereabouts, but there was nothing.
'Now that I got the information from Tobirama, finally, I can solve the Edo Tensei army.'
“Brother Shikaku, I will leave the Alliance headquarters to you. I'll go out.”
“Wait a minute! Ryo, are you going to deal with Edo Tensei's caster by yourself?” Nara Shikaku asked.
Yamanaka Ryo shook his head: “I'm just looking for someone who can deal with the Bestowing Technique. I will come back soon.”
After saying that, the silhouette of Yamanaka Ryo disappeared.
………..
Otogakure, Orochimaru's laboratory.
Sasuke, who owned the eternal Mangekyō, was training with Anko and Kimimaro to familiarize himself with his eyes power.
Sasuke's ability to turn on the Eternal Mangekyō was too short. He had not yet developed the Eternal Mangekyō power. While his Susanoo had just arrived at the Fourth-Stage. —One step away from the Complete Body.
Even so, Sasuke was able to cope with Anko and Kimimaro.
In the middle of their fierce battle, Yamanaka Ryo suddenly appeared in the centre of the training stadium, and the three people immediately stopped the offensive in their hands.
“I am sorry for interrupting your training.” Yamanaka Ryo said with a smile.
“Ryo, you still come and go without notice!” Anko complained, then asked, “How is Shinobi World War going?”

“It's okay. The situation is currently under my control. But… I have some problems with the Edo Tensei. Sasuke, follow me!”
“Ryo-sama, do you want me to help deal with Ninja by Edo Tensei?” Sasuke looked excited when he had the opportunity to compete hand to hand with the expert combat of Ninja World.
Yamanaka Ryo glanced at Sasuke and said, “No, Sasuke. I'm afraid that I will let you down… What I am saying is that I need you to deal with the caster of Edo Tensei. Not the Edo Tensei's Ninja.”
“The caster? Ryo, have you found the caster's position” Orochimaru, who happened to come out of the laboratory, asked with interest.
“Well, we did find it. But it's not me who found it. It was found by Nidaime Hokage Senju Tobirama…”
“Ooh~ It turned out to be something interesting.”
“Well, then, Uncle Snake. I have to go… I will take Sasuke with me, too.” After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and left with him.
After Yamanaka Ryo left, Orochimaru suddenly said, “Anko, get ready! We, Otogakure, should also take action!”
Anko froze, then nodded.
………..
Yamanaka Ryo took Sasuke to teleport to a space.
When they got into space, the first thing Sasuke noticed was the tree trunk of the sacred tree. —something was hanging from the tree trunk was similar to a silkworm.
“Ryo-sama, aren't we looking for the caster? Why did we come to this space?” Sasuke asked strangely.
“The strength of the caster who can control that many Edo Tensei must be very strong… To be able to crack Edo Tensei without killing him is crucial… The early victory of this war must be fool-proof. That's why I found you a partner… right there! “Yamanaka Ryo pointed to a person in the space whose whole body was wrapped in golden Chakra.

Sasuke opened his Mangekyō and saw the person in the distance: “It's Naruto! He's…”
“This is Naruto's Kyuubi Chakra Mode. How about it? Are you satisfied with this partner?”
“If it's this guy, I have no problem.”
Yamanaka Ryo patted Sasuke's shoulders, then took him to teleport to where Naruto and Kushina were
……….
“Kushina nee-san, it looks like Naruto is training hard!”
“Ryo? What are you doing here? Has Shinobi World War started?” Kushina frowned asked.
Yamanaka Ryo immediately explained the purpose of his trip to Kushina.
After hearing the explanation, Kushina said, “That's it! Naruto, you have to go!”
Yamanaka Ryo didn't expect Kushina to let Naruto go that fast.
Kushina laughed and said, “Naruto has grown up… I watched him overcomes the darkness in his heart. I watched him mastered Kurama's power a little bit. I believe that Naruto can handle all the challenges now.”
“En! I see. Kushina nee-san, how about we let Naruto and Sasuke solve the caster of Edo Tensei while I send you to Minato?”
“Okay, let's do it!”
After Kushina agreed, Yamanaka Ryo and the three people left Kaguya's space together.
……..
Yamanaka Ryo told Naruto and Sasuke Kabuto's location, then he left with Kushina. But before leaving, Kushina did not forget to encourage Naruto, “Naruto, Mother believes you!”

Naruto nodded, “Un! Leave it to me!”
As soon as Yamanaka Ryo and Kushina left, Naruto looked at Sasuke, “Sasuke, long time no see! Your change is really big, the new Sharingan, the new weapon… It seems that you have grown taller too.” Naruto said as he compared the height of the two.
“You too. Look at that new Chakra Mode… It seems these two years hadn't gone to waste.”
“If Sakura is here, Team-7 will be able to reunite again.” Naruto sighed.
Sasuke glanced at Naruto and lightly said, “Forget Sakura! She will just hold us.”
“Sasuke, you are still so ruthless. Sakura loves you very much. She will be sad if you say that.”
“Hmph! I'm just stating a fact.”
In this way, the two quarrelled and hurried towards the cave where Kabuto was located while walking.
……….
On the other side, Senju Tobirama sensed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Chakra from Yakushi Kabuto. According to this Chakra, Senju Tobirama knew where Isshiki's place.
After leaving Kabuto's cave, Tobirama moved towards Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's place without hesitation. With the help of the Flying thunder god, Yanagi, Tobirama quickly caught up with Isshiki.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki noticed Tobirama behind him. He glanced at him, and the red aperture behind him flashed. Tobirama's body was split in an instant.
However, he didn't expect that Tobirama, who had been broken down by him, suddenly appeared in front of him. With kunai in hand, Tobirama aimed the kunai at his throat.
Isshiki quickly dodged to the left and was able to avoid the Tobirama.
“Is that Shadow Clone Jutsu just now? I remember… you are Senju Tobirama, right? Just from the attack just now, I can tell that you are worthy of being my opponent.”
