Naruto: Rise To The Top - Chapter 80

Ryuu and Konan arrived at the site of the tent prepared for them. The tent is in the middle of the camp, next to the command tent and the tents of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

The tent is larger than most of the tents in the camp, and the same size as the tents of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and inside there is a bed, a desk and some books.

Since Ryuu killed Ebizo he has become very famous and all Konoha ninjas look at him with respect and appreciation because of the power he has now despite his young age, and now he has a better reputation than Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Although the three are the disciples of the Third Hokage, they did not kill anyone at the semi-Kage level in the war, nor did they fight Hanzo the Salamander, so they did not get the title of Sannin and their achievements are still less than Ryuu in the war, so their fame is less than Ryuu.

“konan you can sleep on the bed, I’ll go for a while I have work to do.” Ryuu said with a smile while patting konan’s head, he sensed a ninja walking toward his tent so he guessed he would be called.

When the ninja wanted to call Ryuu, Ryuu came out of the tent and looked at the ninja and said, “Do you want something?”

“Ryuu-sama, Orochimaru-sama, Jiraiya-sama, and Shikawa-sama want to see you, please go to the command tent, They are waiting for you there.” The ninja said respectfully and admiringly, after it was his mission to tell Ryuu to walk away.

Ryuu walked towards the command tent. Two guards were standing in front of the tent when they saw him They opened the tent to let him in.

When Ryuu entered the tent, he recognized three of them, one of whom he knew and someone he met was Shikawa, the head of the Nara clan. And the other two who only saw them in the anime and manga are Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Jiraiya looked at Ryuu and patted him on the shoulder with a laugh, “You’re Tsunade’s disciple, you don’t look as strong as the rumors say, hehehe.”

Ryuu didn’t say anything, just looked straight into Jiraiya’s eyes and smiled, Jiraiya felt chills running all over his body and his back was covered in sweat. Jiraiya thought, ‘What is this? Did he use genjutsu on me?’

“Jiraiya, what’s wrong, why are you standing there dumbfounded?” Shikawa patted Jiraiya’s back, waking him from his thoughts. Jiraiya looked at Ryuu and said in annoyance, “Why did you use genjutsu on me?”

“What are you talking about, I didn’t do anything,” Ryuu said with a smirk.

“I looked into your eyes, you must have brought me into genjutsu at that moment,” Jiraiya pointed to Ryuu’s eyes.

“Jiraiya, your accusation is false, he did not use the Sharingan.” Orochimaru said. Orochimaru focused on Ryuu’s body, looked up and down and his eyes showed some emotion and said, “You’re really very strong, and you seem stronger than what the information we got from Konoha says, it’s really great to be this strong at this age.”

Orochinaru has always paid close attention to Ryuu since he knew he was carrying the blood of Senju and Uchiha from Tsunade. Ryuu’s name began to resound in the country of rain and Orochimaru naturally paid close attention to Ryuu news.

“You are over-praising me.” Ryuu said indifferently. He didn’t feel much about the praise of the Orochimaru. It was nothing more than, he had just killed a semi-kage, for his current strength, a semi-kage is nothing and he could easily kill one of them.

“What is the situation with the war against Iwa ninja this time is?” Ryuu asked.

As soon as he mentioned this, Shikawa sighed and said bitterly: “Don’t mention it, Iwa has sent a lot of strong ninjas this time, there is even a special special ‘explosion unit’ with very strong combat capability. On the frontal battlefield, we have almost no advantage.”

“Don’t you have any good plan or strategy to turn the advantage on to Konoha?” Ryuu looked into Shikawa’s eyes and asked.

“You are my plan, you have a similar strength to the Third Kazekage and you are an irreplaceable advantage in war so I have sent a request to the Hokage for you to come back to war. I want you to…” Before Shikawa could finish speaking, they heard an alarm from the Konoha ninja and then a loud explosion sounded.

As soon as he heard the explosion, Ryuu quickly moved to his tent, and when he arrived, he saw konan trembling in fear as she was sitting in the corner, Ryuu went to her side and hugged her, trying to calm her down, “It’s okay I’m here, you’ll be fine.”

konan calmed down immediately after hearing Ryuu’s words. After she calmed down, Ryuu used the wood clone technique he had learned from Madara. Three wood clones appeared in front of Ryuu, he looked at them and said, “Take care of konan.”

The clones nodded, then Ryuu walked out of the tent and used his sensing technique to locate the enemies and then quickly start moving towards them.

“Ryuu, they’ve already pulled out. Don’t go after them. This could be a trap. Also, there weren’t any casualties in this explosion.” Shikawa said as soon as he saw that Ryuu was trying to get out of the camp to catch up with the Iwa ninjas.

Ryuu paused after hearing Shikawa’s words, but he didn’t want to let Iwa attack at will and then withdraw without losses. This would lower the morale of Konoha’s troops, so he used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and ten clones appeared in front of him. “Go and kill them all.”

Half an hour later, one clone came back with a scroll. He entered the command tent and presented it to Ryuu. Ryuu took it and then looked at Shikawa and gave it to him, “In this scroll the corpses of the people who attacked the Konoha camp are stored now, you can use it to raise the morale of the Konoha troops.”
