He could go anywhere he pleased — no restrictions at all.
After breakfast and a quick word with his parents, Ryuu reported for duty at the Konoha Military Police Force and began his patrol.
Before stepping out, he had slipped on a large pair of dark sunglasses — a precaution.
If he ever had to use the Rinnegan in an emergency, they would hide his eyes from view.
War was raging; he could not afford to be exposed.
As he passed the Hokage Building, excitement rising in his chest, he spoke in his mind: “System — check in at the Hokage Building!”
Ding!
Check‑in successful!
Reward granted — the Flying Raijin Jutsu!
Minato Namikaze’s Flying Raijin!
Ryuu’s heart raced, his hands trembling slightly.
This was one of the most overpowered techniques in the entire world.
With it, so long as he chose to leave… no one could ever catch him.
Not even Kamui could keep up.
And this S‑ranked miracle required no hand seals at all — effortless speed.
“Ha!
Even as a mere genin, I’m safe now.
If I can’t win… I’ll just vanish.”
His mood soared.
Every step felt lighter as he continued his patrol.
“All Military Police personnel — return to headquarters immediately for an emergency briefing!”
After circling the village three times, the urgent summons arrived.
“Has the situation at the front changed?” he wondered as he hurried back.
Then he shrugged inwardly: “I’m just a genin.
When trouble comes, the strong take the brunt.
No need to panic.”
Captain Uchiha Fugaku stood at the front, along with Shisui and other high‑ranking members.
But no one looked at ease.
The air was heavy with tension.
“Reports from the front confirm: Iwagakure’s full army is advancing through the Land of Grass, pushing straight for Konoha.
They are making a desperate all‑out strike.”
“Our forces are already stretched thin — the Military Police will deploy to reinforce.
We cannot let them cross the Land of Grass!”
“Teams One through Seven — with me to the front lines.
Team Eight — remain behind to guard Konoha.
Move out at once!”
Uchiha Fugaku issued his orders clearly.
Ryuu was placed in Team Eight.
A quiet smile touched his lips: “Lucky me — I get to stay home.”
Fugaku led the bulk of the force out.
Elite jonin and ANBU squads followed.
Almost every able‑bodied ninja had been dispatched — leaving only the bare minimum to keep the village functioning.
Iwagakure’s sudden offensive was terrifying.
If they broke through into Konoha’s territory, even a victory would be a bloodbath.
None of that mattered to Ryuu.
He would stay safe, keep his head down, and patrol.
He had no idea that just west of the village, in a small wood…
CRACK… CRACK…
The earth softened like shifting sand.
Heads emerged from the ground — Ōnoki the Tsuchikage, Iwa, Akatsuchi, Bunya, and their elite squad.
They had bribed spies within Konoha, eliminated the Barrier Corps, and used the Earth Dragon Drift to slip past every watchpost unseen.
After scanning the area and confirming it was clear, the rest of their strike team rose from the earth one by one.
Phase One is complete!” Bunya said, voice tight with excitement.
“Good.
Proceed as planned.
You three — lead your squads to create chaos and draw their attention.
I will find Hiruzen Sarutobi!”
“If anything goes wrong — flee immediately.
Do not wait for me.
I can leave whenever I wish; Konoha cannot stop me.” Ōnoki spoke with absolute authority.
As the only flying Kage, he had every right to be confident.
“Move!”
At his command, Iwa and the others vanished instantly.
But Konoha had gone into full lockdown an hour earlier.
The streets were empty.
Every door was shut, every shop shuttered.
The Iwa ninjas smiled to themselves — it meant their feint had worked.
Konoha had fallen for it.
“Let us hope this plan bears fruit,” Bunya murmured as he crept forward.
“The Hokage will almost certainly be at his office,” Ōnoki thought.
He soared swiftly toward the Hokage Building using Ultra‑Lightweight Rock Technique.
As he rounded a corner, he nearly ran straight into someone — a member of the Military Police.
He relaxed instantly.
It was only a boy.
That boy was none other than Uchiha Ryuu.
