Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: A Necessary Step

Seeing this, Ryun was not satisfied, he continued to perform this fan technique. Thrust, slash, lift, block, the movements were fluid. As the fan swept out, a red light flashed, not only dealing high damage but also adding fire attribute damage.

Paired with the Ethereal Immortal Seven Star Steps, he looked handsome and dashing, elegant and unrestrained. This not only fit the Uchiha clan's persona but also made Ryun ecstatic. Who wouldn't love a move that was both cool and powerful?

After familiarizing himself with the move's variations, Ryun put away the Blazing Flame Fan and drew the ninja sword at his waist. He curled his lip. Although he had just drawn the sword technique, Divine Sword Hurricane Slash, he was a bit worried whether this sword could withstand his strength.

Why are there so many Kusanagi swords? Can't I just get one as a drop???

Ryun began to practice his swordsmanship. Holding the sword with both hands, he swung down forcefully. It looked like just one slash, but in reality, he had already delivered thirty-three slashes. Any shinobi with the Sharingan or Byakugan who saw this would probably be so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

Even if they activated their bloodline eye pupils, they could only see the afterimages of the movements. The speed was still extremely fast. As long as they were within range, they couldn't avoid all the strikes of this sword technique unscathed.

Just at that moment, the sword suddenly snapped, flying towards Ryun's back. Ryun's pupils constricted, and he looked behind him. He saw Homura Mitokado walking towards him!

Ryun gritted his teeth and activated Susanoo, materializing a large gold-red hand that reached out to grab the broken blade flying towards Homura.

Homura Mitokado's pupils shrank. 'Holy crap, what's going on!' He felt like he was about to die! Neither that broken blade nor the Susanoo were things he could block!

Just as the tip of the broken blade was about to pierce Homura Mitokado's pupil, Ryun's Susanoo caught up, grabbing the broken blade and instantly refining it!

The broken blade was enveloped by the Susanoo's hand, then crushed into iron powder with a squeeze, scattering on the ground!

Homura Mitokado now sat collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath in large mouthfuls. He had just come to report the recent financial matters to Ryun—how did he almost end up in the Pure Land?

Ryun's mouth twitched. He looked at the hilt in his hand, casually threw it away, pretending it wasn't his doing, then coughed twice and walked towards Homura Mitokado.

"Ahem, Advisor Homura, do you have any business today?" Ryun asked with a serious expression.

Seeing Ryun approach, Homura Mitokado quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for saving my life, Hokage-sama!" He bowed, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Ryun scratched his head. "Who knows who it was, practicing with a sword, didn't even know the blade was damaged, and it flew in from outside the school! Originally, I didn't want to bother, but then Advisor Homura came to see me, so I coincidentally saved you."

He sighed, looked at Homura Mitokado, a trace of relief in his eyes. One had to admit, Ryun was quite good at the 'thief crying stop thief' act and his acting skills were first-rate.

Couldn't you see Homura Mitokado believed it completely?

"Thank you for saving my life, Hokage-sama. This matter must be strictly investigated!" Homura Mitokado was first grateful, then angry.

"Mm! It should be strictly investigated!" Ryun nodded, waved his hand, and Hatake Sakumo suddenly appeared. Ryun ordered him to investigate the matter of the broken blade.

Hatake Sakumo's mouth twitched. 'Sir, don't you know who did it?'

But under Ryun's righteous gaze (and threatening pressure), Hatake Sakumo nodded. "Rest assured, Hokage-sama, this subordinate will definitely investigate this matter until 'the whole truth comes out'!"

Ryun nodded. "Advisor, do you think this is acceptable?"

Homura Mitokado nodded. "Thank you for your consideration, Hokage-sama!"

In his heart, Ryun thought, 'I said I'd help you investigate, but whether anything is found, then I can't guarantee that!'

"By the way, what is Elder Homura holding?" Ryun noticed Homura Mitokado was carrying two paper booklets.

"Ah, yes, Hokage-sama, I came to report this month's income and expenditure situation. Under your wise and mighty leadership..." Homura Mitokado was eloquent, speaking incessantly.

Out of ten sentences, two were about business, eight were praising Ryun, making Ryun feel quite embarrassed!

"Ahem, Advisor Homura, just state the data directly from now on! You must be thirsty after talking for so long!" Ryun clapped his hands. Hatake Sakumo handed over a bottle of water. Ryun unscrewed it and handed it to him!

Homura Mitokado's heart stirred. What a great honor this was. He reached out with both hands to receive the water, drinking it carefully. "Sweet, so sweet!"

Ryun broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, he said, "Alright, I understand the specific situation now. Advisor Homura, you've worked hard. Please make sure to rest when you go back!"

Homura Mitokado nodded. "Then I won't continue reporting here. I'll go back now to supervise the work efficiency and conduct of the Finance Department!"

After saying that, he left without looking back! Ryun breathed a sigh of relief. After Homura Mitokado had gone far away, he said to Hatake Sakumo, "Just investigate that matter casually. In the end, just say the person fled guilty, having left Konoha!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded. "Yes!" Then he disappeared from Ryun's sight. Ryun sighed.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to really break! And it almost took someone's life! What a mess!" Ryun shook his head.

Now without a sword, he began to hone his fist, foot, and taijutsu skills.

And so it continued until noon!

After eating a rich, specially prepared Akimichi nutritional lunch, under the combined effects of the delicious food and his Sage Body, the fatigue of the entire morning was swept away. His chakra and physical stamina returned to their peak!

During the afternoon class, Ryun stood on the training ground, looking at the six kids in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. "Today, our training location is not the school."

Danzo wanted to see how Ryun would train the six kids, but then he heard this sentence and couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Ryun, who gave him a reassuring look.

"I know you are confused, but today I will take you to do something every shinobi must experience. Come on, everyone, follow me!" Ryun turned and started walking towards the Konoha Execution Grounds.

The others simply followed Ryun without a word. The teacher told them to do something, so they did it!

Besides, the teacher would definitely not harm them; it must be for their own good.

Only Danzo, observing the road, felt a jump in his heart. Could it be...

He walked up to Ryun and said quietly, "Ryun, isn't this too early for the children?"

Ryun nodded. "Indeed, if they were students from another class, I would think you are very right."

"But, Danzo, you must understand, the earlier they are exposed to this matter, the easier it is to accept. As for their mental state, don't worry, I'm here." Ryun patted his shoulder and continued running towards the prison.

The six kids closely followed Ryun, not daring to fall behind.
