Naruto: Rise To The Top

After my fight with Yuuta-sensei I went home.

Suddenly he appeared in front of a person wearing a fox mask, I thought he was from the Anbu, but it seems he is not.

"Ryuu Uchiha, Danzo-sama wants to meet you, please follow me." The Root Ninja said to me, it seems Danzo is plotting something against me.

"Sorry, I don't know anyone named Danzo." I told him so that I wouldn't go with him. I hope he'll make more sense and leave me.

"Danzo-sama is one of the Hokage's advisors, so you'd better follow me, or you won't like what's going to happen," said the Root Ninja threateningly, then two Root Ninja appeared behind me.

'Damn if the quiet way doesn't work they'll start threatening' I thought.

"What's going on here, what does a root ninja want from my disciple?" I had the good fortune that Yuuta-sensei was close.

"Don't worry, Yuuta. I told them to bring the Ryuu Uchiha to me so I could see him." Danzo suddenly appeared with two Root Ninjas.

"Danzo-sama, why do you want to see Ryuu?" Yuuta-sensei said respectfully, it seems that at this time Danzō is still very popular in Konoha.

"I was trying to invite him to join the Root Ninja, this kid has a lot of talents and I think if he is trained by the right person he will be useful to Konoha,"

Danzo said in a way that looks as if there is no one better than him to train me in Konoha. damn it obviously wants to make me a puppet to control it.

"Ryuu, you can join Root Ninja, it's a good place to develop talents," Yuuta-sensei told me, it seems Danzo's corruption hasn't been revealed yet.

"Can you give me time to think about it" I can't refuse straight away or it could lead to consequences I can't bear.

"Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it, in three days you can meet me at the Hokage's building," Danzo said as he and Root Ninja leave.

"Think about it, Ryuu, that Danzo-sama is a disciple of the Second Hokage, and his stature and popularity is no less than the current Third Hokage," Yuuta-sensei told me, urging to join the root.

'Sensei, can you not urge me to join the Root Ninja, you don't know how the Root lives like a slave,' I thought.

"Okay, yuuta-sensei, I'll think about it."

....

After a month

During this month, Ryuu rejected Danzo's offer to join Root Ninja on the grounds that he would be the next Uchiha clan chief, then Ryuu, Rin, and Rikuo were promoted to Chunin.

Ryuu upgraded many of his skills from intermediate to advanced and he upgraded a body flicker to grandmaster. However, his strength is still at the Jonin level and his chakra at the Kage level. But he is stronger than normal Jonin and close to the power of Elite Jonin.

Ryuu is currently performing his first B mission alone.

However, after completing the mission, Rank B, and on his way back to Konoha, he was attacked by three ninjas, one of them at the Jonin level and the other two at the Chunin level.

"Who are you, why are you getting in my way?" Ryuu suspects they're a root ninja.

They didn't answer ryuu's question, they attacked him directly without saying anything.

The Jonin engage Ryuu in close combat while the Chunin help him by attacking Ryuu from the back or sides.

Ryuu attacked them with the Chidori Stream, he managed to injure one of the Chunin but the other two ninjas evaded the attack. The Chuunin was paralyzed after being attacked by the Chidori Stream and fell to the ground.

He then attacked with Earth Release: Rock thorn bed jutsu, a 6-inch-long set of spikes shot out from the ground and pierced the Chuunin's paralyzed body on the ground, while Junin and Chuunin leapt out of the attack range.

He then attacked the Chuunin who did not reach the ground after jumping with the Chidori Spear. The Chidori Spear pierced the Chuunin's body and then changed the shape of the spear and formed several spears that ripped the Chuunin's body apart.

The Chuunin's body dissipated and was replaced by a piece of torn wood.

Junin did a jutsu while Ryuu was busy with Chunin.

"Wind Release: Wind Dragon"

[Creates a dragon formed from wind. The dragon looks like a large serpent, a traditional Chinese dragon that is twenty feet long. The dragon has a red mane and the rest of his body borders light blue. The colour is not distinct because the wind manipulates it from its colour to transparency. The dragon can shoot Wind Explosion from its mouth.]

Ryuu uses a body flicker to avoid the attack, then approaches the Chunin very quickly and pierces his body with Chidori.

After his body flicker skill reached grandmaster level, Ryuu's speed was very fast, so he could evade most of the attacks coming towards him and approach the enemy in moments without noticing.

After killing the chunin, ryuu evaded the shuriken coming towards him.

After dodging the shuriken, Ryuu's eyes met those of the Jonin.

"Damn." The Jounin was stunned and felt indescribable terror. He felt a coldness in his heart. Unwittingly just now, his gaze was met with Ryuu's.

" Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique " ryuu did not hesitate to use genjutsu with his sharingan and immediately used the poweful genjutsu shackle .

In a flash, the Jonin was immersed in the space of genjutsu and his limbs were all driven by wedges and he was unable to move at all.

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique is the illusion that Uchiha Itachi uses to deal with Orochimsru and ryuu is also able to deal with Jonin with this jutsu easily .

[this technique requires the use of the Genjutsu: Sharingan. The opponent is caught in the illusionary world created by the user, and the victim is tormented with the sensation of having spikes driven through them, taking away their body's freedom. At the same time, the physical pain accompanying the illusion reveals that the greatest use this technique has is torture.]

In the illusion space, the Jounin shouted over and over again. After a long period in genjutsu, Ryuu finally removed the illusion.

When the Jounin came out of the genjutsu he started screaming, kneeling directly on the ground, his body was weak and his face was white and pale.

Once the Jonin kneeled on the ground, Ryuu used his Lightning Beast Running Jutsu to attack him.

Ryuu formed the lightning in his hand and shot the Jonin in the form of a hound. Since the hound is very fast and unpredictable, it is very difficult to avoid it.

Ryuu was able to kill Jonin without any effort.

"Danzo, you will regret it," Ryuu said with a hint of killing intent in his voice. Then he started back to Konoha.

As soon as he returns from the expedition he hears the horrific news, a member of the Senju clan has been killed on a mission.

After the first ninja war, the Senju clan was targeted, which greatly reduced their number.

Ryuu was feeling bad, Ryuu was worried that the one who killed was Yuuta Senju, so he went to the Senju clan residence to check it out.

Unfortunately it was Yuto Senju

"How did that happen?" Ryuu asked the ninja from the Senju clan who was in front of him.

"Yuuta-san went on a mission with the remaining two members of his team, but after completing the mission they were attacked by the elite jonin with three jonins," the Senju clan ninja said as he sighed with regret.

"So what about the rest of the team are they okay?" Ryuu asked again worriedly

"Sorry kid but the whole team is dead, you can go to their funeral it's going to be in two days" The man patted Ryuu in sympathy.

Ryuu went to the third training ground, where he was training with his teammates.

When he saw that there was no one there, he began to sob so hard that tears flowed from his eyes profusely, he cried until his voice became hoarse.

Although he had only known them for seven months, they were like family to him.

Sarutobi Rin was such a considerate and affectionate sister, she always worried about him if he was injured during training and sometimes teased him about being dating two girls.

Shimura Riko was like a big brother who always seems serious but is kind on the inside. Once Ryuu skips training to go on a date with Mikoto, and when Yuuta Senju asks why he's not showing up. Riko gives an excuse to let Ryuu out of Sensei's claws.

Yuta Senju was like a father, he taught ryuu jutsu for free and taught ryuu all the land jutsu he knew. (Normally, Jonin-sensei does not teach his students jutsu, but rather they gain advantages from performing tasks and exchange them for jutsu.).

They would always go to restaurants or hot springs after completing the tasks, they would laugh at each other's jokes and they would always enjoy their time together.

"Ryuu" A worried voice called out to Ryuu from behind, when he turned around he saw Kushina and Mikoto with a sad and worried expression.

Ryuu forced himself to calm down, wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Kushina, Mikoto"

"I will become stronger to protect you."

"I'm going to get stronger so I don't lose either of you."

When he said that, his Sharingan appeared and began to change shape.

"We believe in you ryuu, you can definitely do that"
