34 Chapter 1
Two years quickly passed. The village has gone back its peaceful times thanks to the efforts of the ninjas and the new Hokage. Nothing much has happened during this time. So, Ryu has put more effort into his training.
Ryu has made a lot of progress in his training. He has finally completed his body training technique; all of his muscle has become pink muscle. His strength increased significantly. He could easily make a dent in steel using only raw physical strength.
He has also made progress in achieving his Bankai he has already the materialization stage but still has yet to make it through the test. Life has been relatively easy for Ryu with his increased strength he could deal with almost every danger that come with his way.
It was high noon the streets of Konoha was busy with people going on about their day. Ryu was walking around the village, it was one of the few free days that Ryu has. He was being expended by Tsunade as she used his ability whenever way she could.
"Haa 15 years have passed since I came into this world" Ryu said feeling sentimental as he looks at the people of Konoha.
Not counting the five before he got his memory back. It was really all fun as he was still thinking the world was a fictional one at first when he was younger but now that he has lived and has gone through all kinds of events, he steadily became more attuned to the world he was in.
"Ryu nii" a voice brought Ryu out of his thought
Turning around he sees two girls. the red hair who called to Ryu was waving her arm while a pink-haired was holding a basket walking beside the red hair.
"Karin, Sakura are you done with your lessons already," Ryu asked with a smile.
nodding her head "Yeah we just finished" Karin added, "what are you doing?"
"Nothing much just taking a break" Ryu answered.
Karin had grown a lot in the past two years after becoming Tsunade's disciple. She has already become a chunni.
Ryu's and Karin's relationship is still on hold as Ryu doesn't think it was the right time. He feels it won't be too late after the war. But that doesn't stop them from beginning closers.
"so, where are you two headed to?" Ryu asked
"We're going to the front gate for a mission Tsunade sama gave us" Sakura answered.
""Hmm?"" Both Karin and Ryu suddenly turn their heads at the same time looking toward where the village gate was.
Smiling Ryu said "they're finally back"
Karin nodded as she also felt a familiar chakra
"Who is back?" Sakura asked as she wasn't able to feel what they felt.
"You will understand when you see him," Ryu said as he moves towards the gate
Karin quickly followed behind him leaving Sakura who followed shortly after. As they were walking Konohamaru come to meet them together with his teammate who also tagged along.
reaching a tall poll, they all saw a young teen wearing an orange and black jacket.
"KONOHA I UZUMAKI NARUTO AM BACK!!!" the teen shouted
"Naruto!!" he heard someone calling to him
"huh!" looking down
"Ryu nii, Karin, Sakura-chan" he jumps down
Next to him was Jiraya
"Yo guys, how have you been?"
"OH you have grown taller haven't you Naruto," Ryu said as he pats Naruto
"stop Ryu nii am not a kid anymore" he protests
"Hahaha!! Whatever you say" Ryu says "let's go that old woman must be looking for you"
They then go to the Hokage's office to meet Tsunade after catching up. She asks about the progress of Naruto's training. After some time, it was decided that Naruto was going to fight Ryu to see his progress.
.
.
.
In a training ground, both Ryu and Naruto were standing opposite each other. The rest of the people were stay at the side so as not to interfere.
"Ready Naruto?" Ryu asked
"I was born ready"
Naruto rushes up to Ryu as they start to exchange fists.
"you have improved," Ryu said as he blocks a few of Naruto's attacks.
"don't underestimate me Ryu nii you're looking at the future Hokage"
"Okay then ''future'' Hokage come, show me how much you have grown."
{multi shadow clone}
A thousand Naruto surrounded Ryu
"I thought I told you to stop depending on this Jutsu" Ryu shook his head Naruto really can't do without it
"don't worry Ryu nii you won't know what hit you"
All the clones charge at Ryu. Ryu activates his Sharingan
{Fire style: Great fireball technique}
A huge ball of fire wipes out a large amount of the clones.
"as expected of the strongest jonin in the village," Tsunade said looking at the flames
"strongest?" Jiraya asked as it wasn't normal for one the title of strongest as even them with title Sannins weren't said to be the strongest
"You have been gone for a while so you won't know how much of a monster he is," Tsunade said narrowing her eyes.
She brings out a bingo book and passes it to Jiraya. Taking the book goes through it
"This??" he was shocked at what he saw
SS-rank Ninja
NAME: UCHIHA RYU
AGE: 20
RANK: ELITE JOUNIN
BOUNTY: 1,000,000,000 Ryo
NOTICE: Avoid engaging if you're on a team of less than 10 elite Jounins
"Not only can he use the 'fourth's' technique, but he is also a very powerful sword user," Tsunade said "I can't be sure I can defeat him in a battle"
"the young will surpass the old" sighed Jiraya.
Naruto clones went at Ryu charging from all directions.
{Uzumaki combo}
"trying to beat me with numbers" Ryu smirked
{lightning style; electric net}
A large lightning current flowed out to cover a large area making the clones paralyzed before disappearing. This is a style Ryu created after he got inspiration from the {Chidori current} but instead of flowing in only the ground it also flows through the air creating a net like attack.
When the smoke cleared only Ryu was standing. Naruto was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh! what an interest in a way to avoid my detection" Ryu said
"It seems Naruto has grown," Karin said
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked
"Naruto has hidden a lot of his clones around while flaring up their charka making Ryu-nii not be able to pick up his exact location" Karin explains
The clone comes out from the ground all carrying a {Rasengan}
"You never learn" Ryu then draws out his blade. It is still in its seal form but it was enough for this fight
Using his Sharingan and the heightened senses due to the breathing technique together with the 'mind eye of Kagura' makes him sense things more effectively.
Easily predicting the attacks Ryu moves like a snake between small places. He dodges all the attacks and attacks at the same time.
Before the clones realize what happen, Ryu had already appeared at the edge of the battlefield sheathing his blade.
All the clones disappeared leaving only smoke covering the area.
'The original Naruto has still not appeared.' Ryu looks around to feel that It was odd 'I don't remember Naruto being this tolerant. Normally he would jump at changes to attack me'
Suddenly he feels his sense tinkling, trust his instinct he moves his arm to defend. Fortunately, he moves quickly enough and managed to block the punch that was coming but the moment the attack connected he was sent flying.
He crashes through several trees before finally stopping. He looks up to see Naruto grinning at him. Still in his punching stance with a red chakra around him with two chakra tails behind him.
Seeing this Ryu smiles "it seems I underestimated this 'Future Hokage'"
