Naruto: Rise To The Top
36-Nine-tailed fox
After Ryuu burned the entire forest, he saw Saika flying towards him at high speed. When I arrived next to him, he said in a loud and angry voice, "Why are you burning the forest? You killed so many animals that we keep here."
"Why are you angry? Everything here is made of illusions, from animals to forests everything is illusory." Ryuu was surprised because Saika was angry.
"What do you mean it's all an illusion? Everything here is real." Saika's eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Ryuu as if she wanted to burn him like she did with the forest.
Ryuu is surprised by Saika's behavior and feels suspicious so he notices her up close with his Sharingan.' Saica is also made of illusion. System, show me the statistics.'
He was surprised because Saika was made from an illusion, and wanted to be sure, so he asked the system to show his stats, but he waited for a while and no stats appeared.
"You are also made of illusion." Ryuu sighed and told Saika.
When she hears Ryuu's words, Saika gets very angry, she starts flapping her wings violently and tries to attack Ryuu, but before she can reach it, Heaven and Earth and Saika started to crack and break as if they were broken glass.
When the illusion is shattered, Ryuu finds himself inside a large room 300 meters long, and the walls and floors of the room are filled with intricate seals.
Inside the room was a giant fox with yellow fur that had nine tails. When the fox saw that Ryuu opened his eyes, he spoke to him, "It seems you found that everything in that place is an illusion."
When Ryuu saw the giant fox, his eyes widened in shock, "You are a kyuubi, how did you come to appear here?".
“Don't compare me to an animal whose body is made of chakra, I have a body of flesh and blood.” The fox was upset because Ryuu thought it was a kyuubi.
"Well, you look so much like her, you're a fox with nine tails, everyone who sees you will think you're a kyuubi." Ryuu came out of his shock and spoke to the fox with his Sharingan activated to make sure he was not inside another illusion.
"First of all, I don't look like him, but he who looks like my clan, Hagoromo designed Kyuubi to be similar to us, the damned, why he didn't choose another form for him, he distorts the world.perception my clan." The fox became angry when he called Hagoromo.
For a moment, the fox cursed Hagoromo, and after calming down he told Ryuu, "Sorry for being too emotional, this topic has been bothering me for a long time."
"So what about the test?" Ryuu asked the fox.
"You are considered successful in the fourth exam when you discover that the world you are in is an illusion. Only Uchiha Madara can discover that the world is an illusion, and the others who enter the test do not know it, and they thought that the one who led them hid his true form using illusions." The fox smiled and began to explain to Ryuu.
"So what about the third test, I didn't finish it."
"You are considered successful in the first four exams when you discover that the world you are in is an illusion. This means you succeed in the third exam. Let's move to the final exam place." After the fox finished his explanation, it stood on all four legs and began to walk to the giant door in front of it.
“They are not humans, they are foxes like us, our clan members can transform into human form when they reach the age of 50 years. There is a legend that when one of us reaches the age of 1,000 years, he will ascend to heaven and become a heavenly fox. Unfortunately, the maximum age the clan had reached was 500 years or less. And the current head of the clan is 532 years old, and this is the record number in the clan." The fox spoke with a broken heart.
"Don't worry, one of you will reach the age of 1,000. Don't despair." Ryuu patted the fox's feet to comfort. And he thought, 'They're soft and pleasant to the touch'.
The fox did not care to comfort Ryuu, and walked into the building in front of him, opened the door, and entered. "Okay, we've reached the fifth test site."
'The test site is closer than I expected' The fifth test building is 50 meters away from the previous one.
Under the leadership of the fox, Ryuu came to a room, but this room had many entrances, and each entrance was so black that Ryuu could not see into the room.
"The "fifth test is luck, very simple. There were twenty entrances and only one was true. To pass the fifth test, all you have to do is choose the right entrance. You can't use any tricks, you just have to walk to one of the entrances. There's only one chance." Fox finished speaking and stood to the side waiting for Ryuu's choice.
'Only one of the twenty entrances is correct, and no method can be used. There's only one chance. I remember seeing the same test in one of the anime ' thought Ryuu, remember that he saw the same test in one of the anime, and in the anime the real meaning of the test is to not hesitate and he has to choose to enter because they are all right.
So Ryuu did not hesitate and went to one of the entrances and opened the door. Then he looked at the fox and said, "I chose this entrance."
The fox became frightened in surprise as Ryuu quickly chose the entrance.
"Congratulations on all exams." The fox approached Ryuu and looked at Ryuu strangely, "I thought you would think long to choose the entrance, but I didn't expect you to choose the entrance so quickly.the entrance is correct."
"What do you mean I'm lucky to have chosen the right entrance? Aren't all entrances considered correct and this test tests one's doubts and assertiveness?" When Ryuu heard the words of the fox, he was confused.
"It's a test of luck, there's no such complicated idea, I've never lied to you before, only one entrance is considered real and you choose it."
"But you've done a good job because there's no point staying and thinking for long or trying to find a sign or clue to the right entrance because there's no such thing."
Ryuu's mind stopped thinking after hearing the fox's words and remained in place, startled.
"Stop standing still, let's go to the clan head to sign a contract with you."
