Yahiko quickly turned back to look at Konan, only to see her looking at the young man with a slight blush on her face.
It's over; with this character model, Konan has completely fallen for him.
Yahiko's alertness immediately reached its peak, but it was only the alertness of Konan being snatched away, not alertness regarding this person's origins.
Of the three of them, only Nagato was seriously observing the person's background.
For some reason, this person was frequently observing his eyes with his peripheral vision, and he even started drooling.
"Ryou-sama, my leg is in bad shape. Can you take a look at it for me?"
"Let me see!"
Ryou looked at the leg of an Akatsuki member and, without a word, kicked and broke the man's leg.
"Aaaagh—"
Immediately, the members of the Akatsuki grabbed their weapons and surrounded him in a rage.
But Ryou placed his palm on the man's leg bone, and a surge of green Chakra poured out.
Medical Ninjutsu—Delicate Illness Extraction Technique!
This technique locates toxins or pathogens by sensing chaotic Chakra within the body, then uses a Chakra scalpel to cut into the affected area and extract the toxins.
Ryou's Chakra formed a suction force, accurately pulling the virus out of the man's leg bone.
Then, he injected Chakra refined from White Zetsu cells.
Ryou's Chakra could be said to be of the Yang Release nature; the Mystical Palm Technique performed with this Yang Release Chakra was no different from a reverse Creation Rebirth.
With White Zetsu cells, Ryou's Medical Ninjutsu had already surpassed Tsunade's.
In just a few breaths, Ryou had healed the Akatsuki member's leg.
"Alright, walk a few steps. If you're not sick, walk a few steps."
The Akatsuki member walked a few steps and was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "It's healed! My leg is healed!"
"A miracle doctor!"
"He's a true miracle doctor!"
The members of the Akatsuki were all delighted and crowded around him one by one.
"Ryou-sama, I was just beaten up. Please check my injuries quickly."
"How did you get beaten up?"
"I was staring at a big brother while eating noodles at a shop. The big brother said, 'Brother, have a bite,' so I immediately crawled under the table to eat, and then the big brother beat me up."
"This is what happens when you play too much Genshin Impact; it requires electrotherapy. Wait a moment, I'll come and shock you after I've finished seeing to the others."
"Thank you very much, Ryou-sama!"
"Ryou-sama, Ryou-sama, I've made a major medical discovery that I hope will help you."
"What discovery?"
"I discovered that people who breathe frequently live longer."
"You have the same symptoms as the guy before; you also need electricity."
"Ryou?!"
Konan rubbed her chin, seemingly having heard such a name before.
Nagato asked: "Konan, do you know him?"
Konan remembered: "Nagato, do you remember? Back when Jiraiya-sensei was teaching us Ninjutsu, he said there was a scoundrel in Konoha named Ryou."
"Who specifically went out to do bad things in Jiraiya-sensei's name."
Nagato also remembered, but was puzzled: "It should just be someone with the same name! This person is the same age as us, while the person Jiraiya-sensei mentioned was from his generation."
"That's true!"
Most commoners in the Ninja World do not have surnames; Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko do not have surnames either.
Since people aren't very educated, they just give themselves a name at random, so there are many people with the same name.
A moment later, the members of the Akatsuki were all jumping around in front of Ryou, weeping with joy, as if they had seen the sun.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan looked at each other.
The members of the Akatsuki were almost becoming Ryou's believers.
Because his Medical Ninjutsu was no different from a divine technique; common intractable diseases were cured as soon as he touched them.
For example, if a Ninja's lungs were infected with a virus, Ryou would directly use Ninjutsu to remove the lungs and then regenerate a new set for him.
With such Medical Ninjutsu, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Konoha's Master Healer, Tsunade, was here; no, it might even be more exaggerated.
This was definitely not an ordinary wandering Ninja; this guy must have a big secret.
Yahiko and the others were also a bit worried, feeling that a small organization like the Akatsuki wouldn't be able to attract a Master Healer-level Medical Ninja like Ryou.
He must have come here with some scheme, such as Konan's beauty, or Nagato's Rinnegan.
Ryou had healed a bunch of random people from the Akatsuki and was currently discharging electricity into two lunatics.
Members of the Akatsuki generally had some kind of illness, either a physical disease or a psychological one.
Because most of them were war orphans, deeply scarred by war, and had also served as Ninjas.
Ninjas were made of flesh and blood, and generally didn't live past sixty, dragged to their deaths by accumulated hidden injuries.
Ryou could treat those, but how could he treat psychological illnesses?
One whose family was destroyed by war, leaving him all alone.
One whose life savings were all snatched away by the chaos of war.
Even with divine-level Medical Ninjutsu, Ryou couldn't cure that.
There were too many such people, and they were common in the Akatsuki.
So this was why Yahiko's ideology of peace was able to attract so many people.
But in the end, it was just a flash in the pan; in a place like the Land of Rain, the terrifying ideology of letting the world feel pain is more likely to take root.
What's the point of all that? With a cloth wrapped around the head and a backpack slung over the shoulder, everyone has to run!
Yahiko walked over and patted Ryou on the shoulder, telling him to stop shocking them; the people were already foaming at the mouth.
Ryou turned to look at Yahiko; this was a young man with orange hair, his face full of vitality, as if he had the determination to change the world.
"You must be the leader of the Akatsuki, right?"
"You—"
Yahiko nodded and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ryou.
Ryou familiarly took Yahiko's hand: "I've finally found the organization! Lord Yahiko, I heard of your ideology of peace and came to follow you."
"My parents died when I was young... ah—no, when I was young, my parents died."
"Because my house was by a bridge, I made a living helping people cross every day. One day, a group of Ninjas used secret codes to team up and blew up my family's bridge. After that, I wandered everywhere."
"Those Ninjas who team up by jumping around are truly detestable, Lord Yahiko. I want to follow you and create a world without war together."
"..."
Yahiko felt that Ryou was talking nonsense; if Ryou were a wanderer, could he have learned such profound Medical Ninjutsu?
And with this handsome appearance, even the son of a Daimyo didn't have the noble air he possessed. How could he be an orphan wandering everywhere without parents?
Yahiko pulled his hand out of Ryou's and questioned him: "Ryou, are you really a wandering Ninja?"
Konan and Nagato surrounded him, questioning Ryou along with Yahiko.
Seeing Ryou being questioned, the members of the Akatsuki who had just been cured by Ryou immediately became unhappy.
"Leader, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect Ryou-sama is a spy?"
"Leader, this is uncalled for. Have you ever seen a spy who would cure all of our chronic ailments?"
"Yeah, Yahiko, which power would be so generous as to send a Master Healer like Ryou-sama, who is comparable to Princess Tsunade, to act as a spy?"
"Exactly, what does our the Akatsuki have that's worth coveting? With Lady Konan's peerless beauty, a great person like Ryou-sama certainly wouldn't be that kind of lecherous person!"
