Naruto: Rise To The Top - Chapter 100

Standing in front of Ryuu is an unknown person who did not appear in the original story. This person emits a powerful aura as he grabs a ninja from the Land of the Sky by the neck and lifts him with one hand off the ground.

This person was a fair-skinned man with spiky, blue hair that had a slight red tint to it. his hair was chin-length that parted to frame the sides of his face. His casual attire consisted of a blue long sleeve shirt and white pants.

His facial features are wonderful and he looks handsome, one of his eyes is blue with spider web patterns, while the other eye is closed and its shape cannot be seen.

His right eye is clearly dōjutsu, but Ryuu has never seen this type of dōjutsu in his life and it is not mentioned in the anime.

Ryuu and his group looked at this person cautiously, even Ryuu who thought he was the strongest in the current timeline felt a little wary.

This person looked at them and smiled but his eye showed killing intent, “It’s my lucky day, to meet a group of ninjas with two Konoha war heroes.”

“Especially you, Ryuu Uchiha. I’ve always wanted to meet you and…” A gentle smile appeared on that person’s face as he looked at Ryuu.

But soon he said the following words with great murderous intent, “AND KILL YOU!!!!!”

Although the killing intent was directed at Ryuu only, everyone felt it.

Five people were frozen in fright: Minato, Nawaki, Kushina, Mikoto, and Hikari.

They could no longer move due to fear, and they felt as if blood was freezing in their veins.

Although they had participated in the war and had seen death many times, they had never seen such an intense aura filled with killing intent, hatred and negative emotions.

Although they felt all this, this killing intent was not directed at them in the first place.

The person towards whom killing intent was directed didn’t show any signs of nervousness or fear, just looked at the source with cold eyes, “Why do you hate me? I don’t remember meeting you in the first place.”

The killing intent vanished after Ryuu asked this question, the person’s attitude changed drastically and began to introduce himself, “I apologize for not introducing myself to you. I am the last member of the Hagoromo clan, Hiroto Hagoromo.”

‘Hagoromo clan? Is this clan related to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.’ Ryuu doesn’t remember this clan because it was mentioned only once in the entire Naruto anime, no wonder he forgot such information.

The Hagoromo Clan is one of the earlier clans which existed during the war-torn era preceding the creation of the hidden villages. While not a great deal is known about them, they were one of the warring factions alongside the Uchiha clan to oppose the Senju clan in battle.

Everyone knows that this clan has become extinct and no one of their clan is left alive, but in fact a group of this clan survived and hid from view while planning to destroy the Senju and Uzumaki clan and also planning to take revenge on the Uchiha clan that betrayed them.

Ryuu frowned, “What does this have to do with your hating me?”

Hiroto looked at Ryuu with bloodshot eye, “It’s because of your father, he killed everyone that was left of my clan.”

Twelve years ago, the cause of Ryuu’s mother’s death was a scheme of the Hogoromo clan with the help of a nurse from the Sartobi clan.

Ryuu’s father avenged his wife’s death by killing everyone involved in her death.

At first he killed a group of four people, including the nurse from the Sarutobi clan. But during their fight and before killing them, he extracted information about the Hagoromo clan using his Mangekyo Sharingan.

After that, Ryuu’s father began searching and killing everyone from the Hagormomo clan.

Hiroto shouted loudly with great hatred “I will never forgive him, even after I killed him my anger is unquenchable.”

“So I’m going to tear up everything he loves, unfortunately I didn’t leave him alive so he can see how his loved ones die.”

“What? But my father died because of Danzo.” Ryuu was shocked upon hearing those words. It is clear that his father died at the hands of Danzo because his father’s eyes were with Danzo but this person says that he killed his father.

“You are right, Dano was one of the causes of your father’s death, but I was the one who killed your father.”

“I made an alliance with Danzo to kill your father. His only condition for allying with me was to get the Mangekyu Sharingan after your father died. I don’t care about the Mangekyu Sharingan, so I agreed.”

Upon hearing this, Ryuu’s eyes became bloodshot. Although he has only known his father for one year, he still loves his father.

‘I’m going to kill him, I’m going to kill this bastard’ For the first time in a long time, Ryuu felt anger burning within him.

“Ryuu, calm down. Don’t let his words provoke you.” Tsunade grabbed Ryuu’s shoulder tightly.

Ryuu looked at Tsunade and then suppressed the anger within him, he himself didn’t expect to get so angry upon hearing his father’s death at the hands of the person in front of him.

“Please, let me live.” At this moment, the person Hiroto was holding began to plead as tears streamed from his eyes.

“Sorry, I totally forgot you existed as soon as I saw the son of the one I hate standing in front of me.” Hiroto smiled and then pressed harder on the ninja’s throat.

“Ryuu, there is something strange. Look at the stats of the person Hiroto is holding by the neck.” Sarah’s astonished voice entered Ryuu’s head, making him curious and looking at the stats of the ninja.

[Name: cannon fodder

STR=Jonin(Low)=27 -> Chunin= 15

AGI=Jonin=34 -> Chunin= 19

Chakra=Jonin=312 -> Chunin= 130 ]

‘What’s going on? Why are his stats decreasing? Does Hiroto have a way to seal that person’s strength and chakra.’ Ryuu raised an eyebrow but didn’t feel that this was something that important, because there were many seals that could do the same and better.

“No, you’re wrong. This drop in stats is permanent. It’s his dojutsu. He must be able to steal an opponent’s stats upon contact.” What Sarah said made him feel shocked and wary when looking at Hiroto.

‘Then all I have to do is destroy that eye. Also, I shouldn’t let him touch me before I destroy his eye.’ During the short period that Ryuu spoke with Sara, all of that ninja’s stats had dropped to zero.The ninja died right afterwards, and Hiroto dropped him to the ground.

All this happened in just a few seconds.
