Naruto: Rise To The Top
34-second test

"Let's start the second test, which will be your response test to danger, follow me, we'll go somewhere else" Saika said, and started walking towards the corridor that appeared out of nowhere.

Ryuu walked following him and the two of them entered the corridor, but as soon as he entered the corridor, Ryuu sensed someone attacking him from behind, so they quickly dodged. But once they dodged the attack, he wanted to check on the person who attacked him but he saw nothing even with the Sharingan activated.

"Come, hurry. I'll leave you here if you don't follow me." At this moment, Saika spoke up and urged Ryuu to hurry.

'Has the second test already begun,' Ryuu thought while following Saika.

After 20 minutes, Saika and Ryuu came out of the corridor and appeared in a forest-like place in Konoha.

When Ryyu came out of the corridor, he immediately fell to the ground, panting so much that every time he breathed, he felt his lungs burn. There were many wounds on his body and almost all of his clothes were torn.

For the previous twenty minutes the attacks never stopped, and the attacks came suddenly and from all angles around Ryuu.

"You don't seem to be well trained in dodging surprise attacks, and you rely heavily on your eyes to avoid danger or find enemies. You have to make finding danger as something instinctive, and avoiding attacks as well you have to make it something instinctive, the body has to move itself when it senses danger."

Saika starts by criticizing Ryuu for his great dependence on his eyes, then starts by explaining how one should recognize the danger and starts talking about the correct training method.

But he didn't see any response coming from Ryuu so he turned his face towards her with his lungs lying on the ground and gasping for breath and he was unconscious 'Damn, I forgot he was hurt and needed treatment'

.....

Three hours later.

"where am I?" Ryuu awakens and realizes that he is in a simple small room made of wood without any decorations, with just a bed.

Then Ryuu notices the bandage covering his entire body and remembers that he fainted in the second test.

"Damn, did I fail the exam?" Ryuu was annoyed and frustrated.

"Don't worry, you passed the second exam." There was a sound from outside the house, then the door was opened and Saika entered the house, her body was much smaller than before, and Saika was only one meter tall.

Hearing that she passed the exam, Ryuu felt relaxed, then thought for a moment and spoke, "But I don't remember ever passing."

"It's only natural that you don't remember that, because you were unconscious at the last minute of the exam, it seems that when you passed out, your body continued to avoid danger by itself, after all, even I also did not realize that you were unconscious but the person who attacked you noticed it "

Ryuu was shocked after hearing this. He did not expect that he could do this while unconscious.

"Can you stand, if you can stand then put on these clothes and let's go to the third test, the minimum rest time is 4 hours between each test, the, if you continue to sleep more than this, you will be disqualified for the next test. "

Saika's beak carries a bag. Inside the bag were some clothes made especially for Ryuu, similar to the clothes he had worn before.

"I'm fine, I can continue the test." Ryuu spoke as he got out of bed and when he woke up, he felt his body burning in pain as if he had been pierced with thousands of needles.

Saika stepped forward and gave Ryuu the clothes she was carrying. Ryuu ignored the pain and took the clothes and put them on immediately and went out. When Ryuu walked out of the house, he realized that he was in a forest filled with 10-meter-high trees.

"So where's the third test?" Ryuu asked after they left the house.

"It's close here, follow me."

After a minute of walking, they reached an area with many trees, which were close together, and the distance between each tree was a meter or less.

"Test three, test your ability to fight in different environments and terrains, and it will be divided into several stages, this place is the first stage, so fight well." When Saika finished explaining, she disappeared from her place.

After a while, Saika's voice reverberated, "After you succeed in this stage, you will be transferred to the next stage automatically."

Hearing that the test had begun, Ryuu became fully focused and performed the Sharingan and carefully observed the area around him.

'The distance between the trees is too small, I can't move fast here, and it's also easy to do a sneak attack here because it's easy to hide in the bushes of the trees'

While Ryuu was thinking, a snake appeared on top of a tree close to Ryuu. The snake was three meters long and was green with brown spots. The snake watched Ryuu movements carefully to find a suitable opportunity to attack and then descend from the tree very quickly and attack Ryuu.

Ryuu felt a movement on it so he took out Kunai and swung it towards the attacking person. In Ryuu's attack, the head of the snake that tried to attack him was decapitated.

'My response to the danger became much faster than before. I feel like I can fend off the sneak attack' Ryuu is glad he became a little stronger.

As Ryuu killed the snake, he started to hear the snake hiss from all the trees around him. Snakes started appearing in huge numbers and started attacking Ryuu.
