Naruto: Rise To The Top - Chapter 51

After smashing the claw blade, Ryuu swung his weapon toward Shoda, but at this moment Shoda’s nine tails moved and connected the six ends of the Susanoo, then Shoda focused on cutting the arm that bound him again.

When the Susanoo was attached, Ryuu made some hand seals, after which an electrical discharge flowed from the entire Susanoo’s body, the electric flux touched the Shoda causing his muscles to contract, causing his body to involuntarily stiffen, while his body was damaged at the same time.

“Susanoo: Chidori Current”

Due to Ryuu’s attack, Shoda’s Nine Tails left the six limbs of the Susanoo, then the Susanoo kicked Shoda into the sky, then using the chains that tied Shoda’s neck and pulled him to the ground at great speed, Shoda’s body hit the ground, which resulted in a large crater on the ground.

Then the Susanoo pulled the chains with great force towards him causing Shoda to fly towards him quickly. When Shoda’s body approached him, the two unarmed hands formed a giant Rasengan in each hand, striking Shoda’s body with it.

“Susanoo: Rasengan”

Shoda spewed blood from his mouth and flew away from the impact of the attack, then the Susanoo pulled him again, then clamped the weapon around his neck, and Ryuu said, “Give up, I’m the winner.”

Sho approached the two of them and said, “He doesn’t need to give up. You’re the winner of this fight.”

After hearing this, Ryuu deactivated the Mangekyou Sharingan, dissolving the Susanoo and removing the ability of his right eye. When the ability of his right eye was removed, Ryuu felt the pain gradually disappear and he felt the pressure on his body dissipate and his entire body relaxed.

Shoda’s body shrank back to human form, and spewed some blood, Sho approached him and said seriously, “When the chains caught you, why didn’t you shrink your body to escape from them?”

“I couldn’t, whenever I tried to shrink my body the chains would shrink to suffocate me, as if the chains had a special force I felt like I wanted to escape from them so I started shrinking more around my neck,” Shoda said while breathing hard.

“Ryuu, is there a certain ability in the chains you use?” Sho asked Ryuu, while carrying Shoda on his shoulder.

“I also don’t know about this. This was the first time I used this weapon, but if I use the weapon more, I will eventually discover the ability,” Ryuu said.

‘I haven’t been back to Konoha for nineteen days, maybe the war has already started now’ Ryuu was planning to go back to Konoha the next day after he rested,Then the three of them went to the palace to rest.

….

The next day, Ryuu returned to Konoha, after using the reverse summoning technique, he found himself in the seventh training ground but did not find Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and Sayuri who should normally train here.

‘It’s normal that they’re not here, it’s still early in the morning,’ Ryuu thought

Having not found them, he went home, and on his way there he heard from people who were saying that the war had begun a week ago.

The battle started between Iwa, Suna and Konoha, and their battles were in the country of rain, but Ame Village has not entered the battle yet.

The battles were only between small divisions, there were some skirmishes between the genin and chunin forces, and the junin had not yet entered the fight, and the main army had not entered the war.

Ryuu arrived at the house, but did not find Souta and Fugaku in it but found his aunt Fuku.

Fuku greeted Ryuu and then had breakfast together, then Ryuu asked, “Ka-san where is Otto-san and Fugaku-ni-san? I didn’t see them when I came back.”

“Fugaku is participating in the war now. I hope he is fine and nothing will happen to him. As for Souta, he is busy arranging the clan members to join the war, and tightening security in Konoha so that no information from inside is leaked,” said Fukuo with a sigh, who was worried about Fugaku. And her husband was busy with the affairs of the clan, she hated war and wished it would end quickly and that the war’s victims would be as few as possible.

“Don’t worry, Fugaku-ni-san will be fine,” when Ryuu heard Aunt Fuku’s sigh, he quickly calmed her down.

“You’re not going to go to war either, are you?” Fuku said firmly, looking at Ryuu.

Ryuu wanted to say I will go, but when he saw Fuku’s look, he knew that if he told her, she would prevent him from going to war on the pretext that he was young, so he lied, “I will never go to war. I am too young for this.”

“Hoo, I get it. You’re lying, aren’t you? You wanted to go to war but you didn’t tell me the truth because you knew I would stop you.” Fuku looked at Ryuu hard, as if her gaze was penetrating Ryuu’s thoughts.

Ryuu was resolute and didn’t lie anymore and said seriously, “Yes, I want to go to war, although there is a danger, it will give me a lot of chances to become stronger, so this time I will definitely go even if you try to stop me.”

Ryuu looked into Fuku’s eyes firmly and had no intention of backing down, even if Fuku refused to let him go.

Fuku looked into Ryuu’s firm eyes and then sighed, “I won’t stop you this time. You can go to war. Souta told me how strong you are, but you have to be careful when you go to war.”

In fact, she wanted to stop him from going but when she looked into his resolute eyes and that her husband said that Ryuu was much stronger than Fugaku, she decided to let him go.

“I will go to the Hokage to check if my team went on a mission or joined the war,” Ryuu said after he finished breakfast, then left the house.

Fuku sighed when she saw Ryuu come out of the house and thought ‘I hope Souta is right and Ryuu is strong enough to go to war’

But she remembered that Ryuu had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, so her fears subsided.

She remembered the time when the previous Ryuu team died, how sad Ryuu was and started training hard, and she remembered the moment he told her and Souta that he had awakened the Mangekyu Sharingan, at that moment she was not happy because Ryuu had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan because she saw his grief over the death of his comrades and felt sad and worry about him.

‘I really hope he never loses someone dear to him again,’ Fuku thought as she remembered Ryuu’s grief for his comrades and wished with all her heart that Ryuu would never lose someone dear to himself.
