Naruto: Rise To The Top - Chapter 31

the next day.

In the seventh training ground.

After Ryuu finishes training with Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto, talk to Tsunade, “Tsunade-sensei, can you teach me the summoning technique?”

“I don’t think my summoning technique works for you because Slug has no offensive power, he only has acid as a way to attack, but I use it often in therapy because she can share chakra with me and she can split into so many numbers, so I can treat a lot of people at once.”Tsunade refused Ryuu’s request.

“I don’t need to be summoned to fight, I just want her to teach me senjutsu,” Ryuu explained to her.

‘What is a senjutsu? I’ll ask Katsuyu about this later,’ Tsunade thought after hearing Ryuu’s words.

“I will talk to Katsuyu tomorrow to tell her about you, and if she accepts to sign a contract together, she will definitely teach you senjutsu, in the meantime go to Souta-san and ask him about it, he might have a good summons for you.” In fact, she can make Ryuu sign a contract with Katsuyu now, But she wanted him to think carefully about the choice of summoning, so she postponed doing so at another time.

“Okay, I’m going to ask my father(To-san),” Ryuu said.

After a while, Ryuu and Mikoto separated from Tsunade and Kushina and returned home.

While returning home, Mikoto asked Ryuu, “What is senjutsu? And why do you want to learn it?”

“Senjutsu is a specialized field of jutsu that involves the use of natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners, known as sages, learn to draw natural energy inside their bodies, blending it with their own chakra to create senjutsu chakra. This chakra adds a new dimension of power to the user’s techniques, while also allowing for the use of techniques that would not otherwise be possible.”

“Could I learn it too?” Mikoto was surprised that there was such a great way to increase strength, so she wanted to learn as well.

“It would be good to learn Senjutsu, but the method of learning it is very dangerous and you may turn into a stone if you mismanage the natural energy while it is in your body, so be careful if you decide to learn it.” Ryuu encouraged her to learn senjutsu but warned her of the dangers in learning in a serious voice.

“Okay, I’ll think about it well, but you also have to be careful when you learn it.” Once Mikoto heard Ryuu’s words, she became worried because he wanted to learn such a high-risk technique.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Ryuu smiled, glad that Mikoto was worried about him.

In fact, Ryuu wanted to learn Senjutsu not only to increase his strength, but also thought it was a possible way to develop his Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyu Sharingan.

He’s not sure yet but would love to try this method.

He thought of two other ways to develop the Mangekyu Sharingan, one of which is to obtain Hashirama cells, and he ruled out this method because he does not want to dig the grave of Tsunade’s grandfather, even if he takes Hashirama’s cells, he does not know how to use them.

And the second is to strengthen his body and eyes using the yang chakra, but he does not He had a way to use it properly and he had no one to teach him about, so that idea was dismissed as well.

Ryuu drove Mikoto to her house and then went to his house.

When he got home, it was dinner time, he sat with his family and ate with them.

When they finished eating, Ryuu said to Souta, “To-san, does the clan have a good summoning technique that you can teach me?”

“Wait for me a little.” Souta got up and went to the basement of the house. Minutes later, he came holding six scrolls in his hands and put them on the table and started explaining to Ryuu.

“The clan has many summoning techniques such as summoning crows, eagles, and hawks, but I don’t advise you to take a summoning contract with them, because they are not strong enough but they still have uses other than fighting.” Souta pulled three scrolls out of the six and showed them to Ryuu and explained about them.

“There is also a summoning of wolves and tigers, which you can use to fight.” Then he pulled two more Scrolls.

“And I have a good Summon Scroll, but I don’t know which object you can summon.” Souta then pointed to the last scroll.

“Why don’t you know this? Could it be that no one has tried it before?” Ryuu asked Souta. He couldn’t believe they had a summoning scroll and didn’t use it.

“I and many other clan members have used it, but when you use the scroll you will be taken to another place and you will be tested. If you pass the test, you will be recognized and accepted as their summoner, and if you fail, you will be sent back to where you came from. All the people in the clan failed the test. When I entered the test, I passed 3 test out of 5 and got the second rank in the clan.” Souta spoke proudly when he mentioned that he got the second rank.

“Who got the first rank? And if you do the test, how do you say you don’t know which object you will summon?” Ryuu asked, tilting his head slightly to the side and a big question mark appeared above his head.

“The person who got first rank in the test, passed 4 out of 5 tests, is Madara Uchiha.”

“Also, I do not know their original form because they appear to each person differently. They say that the creature appeared in front of the Uchiha Madara in human form, and it appeared in front of me in the form of a snake with wings,”

“And his forms varied a lot, like insects, birds or reptiles. At the end we learned that he uses Transformation Technique with illusion, and all people who try to break transformation or illusion will fail the test, for example when I reached the fourth test I tried to remove the transformation from them, but I was kicked out of the test before I could see what they looked like.” When Souta spoke about the last part, he smiled bitterly and sighed. He was remorseful that he had done this.
