Chapter 129: Returning to
Konoha
ts
After the evacuation was completed, Minato handed over the command over the troops to
Ryo, and went to the Hidden Cloud to get the two S Rank Lightning Jutsus.
Over 7000 of Konoha’s Ninjas were told by Ryo that their war against the Cloud is over and
that they had finally won.
They were all immersed in the joy of victory. They had been in this battlefield for many

practice was required for it made Ryo lose interest in it
What Ryo was really intrigued by was the [Added/Light Weight Rock Jutsu], as it was more
useful than many S-class Jutsus. It’s no wonder that Minato agreed to accept it.
[Added/Light Weight Rock Jutsu] is actually not limited to manipulating earth and stone.
This was a Jutsu developed by the 2nd Tsuchikage. It was very practical, as it was capable of
changing the quality of a target without using Hand Seals.
The problem with this Jutsu was that it was extremely difficult to master, requiring great

While many can enhance their Chakra control, most people who practice this Jutsu ge
