Naruto: Rise To The Top
39- "I'll catch you"

Ryuu arrived at the Senju clan area and headed straight for Tsunade's house.

On the way to Tsunade's house, he met many members of the Senju clan, some of them ignored him and some greeted him with smiles, but the majority of the younger generation looked at him with hostility when they saw the symbol of the Uchiha clan. on his back.

Ryuu ignored the hostile gaze, when he was in the academy, he would drive Kushina home after lessons more than once so he got used to this difference of view on her.

Arriving at Tsunade's house, he knocked on the door and waited, after waiting for a while the door opened and Kushina walked out.

"Ryuu, have you returned from the Trials? I heard from Mikoto that the Exams will last for weeks." Kushina was surprised because she expected him to appear in a few weeks.

"I've already completed the Test and have to sign a contract with them." Ryuu happily spoke with a smile and was proud that he passed the Trials that no one else had passed in such a short time.

"Ryuu, is this your calling, may I bring it?" Kushina noticed the little fox on Ryuu's shoulder, and when she saw the cute fox shape, her eyes sparkled. The cute and adorable Sayuri Paras, anyone who sees her will be fascinated by her appearance.

"Away from me I'm not a pet, don't look at me like that" When Kushina reached out her hand to try to hold Sayuri, Sayuri dodged her hand and yelled in annoyance.

Sayuri won't allow strangers to hug her, only her family could do that and she would not even allow Ryuu to hug her even though she signed a contract with them let alone someone she had just met.

"I don't consider you a pet, let me hold you for a while, and I'll leave you, I promise" Kushina didn't give up and tried to grab Sayuri again.

After Sayuri dodged Kushina's hand, she smiled wickedly and said, "I'll let you hug me for hours, but only if you catch me first."

"I agree, don't regret it later" Kushina was happy with what Sayuri said so she quickly agreed and then tried to catch him.

"Hehehehe, if you try as much as you want, you won't catch me." Sayuri laughed and started running away, and Kushina chased after her as fast as she could.

"Kushina, I don't think you have a cha...." Ryuu wants to tell Kushina that she has no chance of catching Sayuri, but they start to run away before she can finish her words.

'He should have listened to me first,' Ryuu sighed after the two of them left.

"Kushina, who's knocking, why are you late at the door?" Ryuu heard Tsunade's voice from inside the house and moments later appeared in front of the door.

When Tsunade came out of the house, she saw Ryuu at the door, but she did not see Kushina anywhere, "Ryuu, have you finished the Test, where did Kushina go?"

Ryuu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I passed the test. As for Kushina, she's stalking and trying to catch my call."

Tsunade was confused and asked Ryuu, "Why does Kushina want to leave after your summoning?"

"Because she thought my calling was funny so Kushina wanted to hug her, but she refused to let Kushina touch her.you'll understand how Kushina felt when she saw my calling." Ryuu explained everything to Tsunade but she was unconvincing so she told him to wait until he saw Sayuri.

"Do you need me to help you with something?" Tsunade asked, this is the first time Ryuu has come here at night, so I think he needs help for something.

"Okay in, I'll check your wound" Tsunade said as she entered the house.

"Welcome to my house, Ryuu-kun." Mito was inside the house, and when he saw Ryuu enter, he greeted him.

Mito has long brown hair, black eyes without pupils. Her hair was arranged in a bun and had a diamond shape resembling the strength of a hundred seals on her forehead, and she wore a simple kimono that was loosely covered with a simple dark-colored obi.

It had been ten days since he became Tsunade's disciple. During this period, he became acquainted with Mito Uzumaki and became friends with Nawaki Senju.

"Halo Mito-sama," Ryuu said respectfully to the First Hokage's wife.

“Don't be too formal. You can call me Mito-Basan,” Mito said with a smile.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have to check Ryuu's wounds," Tsunade said as she dragged Ryuu into her room.

Ryuu thought Tsunade's room would be full of decorations and furniture or something, but when she entered her room, she was, he saw a simple room with little decoration unlike what he had imagined about a girl's room full of decorations. But he could smell Tsunade's sweet scent in the room.

"Open your shirt. Let me see his wounds." Tsunade said seriously as they entered the room. Hearing Tsunade's words, she took off her clothes and the bandage that covered her wound. When he finished taking it out, Ryuu's body was filled with slightly healed wounds.

Tsunade approached Ryuu and started to check her injuries and spoke with a sigh, "The person who took care of you earlier did a very bad job. If you don't come to me, those wounds might leave scars all over your body.Tests you do, while I treat the wounds properly."

Ryuu nodded and told him about everything from the moment he used the Reverse Summoning Technique until he finished the test.

When Tsunade learns that Ryuu's injury was caused by an illusion, she is shocked because she has never heard of this before.

An hour later, Tsunade treated all of Ryuu's wounds so well that they left no marks on her body. Then the two of them went out looking for Kushina because she had not come home yet.

Ryuu uses his chakra senses to find it faster. When they reached his whereabouts, he saw him sitting on the ground gasping for air, his body was full of dirt and there were some leaves stuck to his hair and his face was tired and there was a small fox half an arm from him which provoked Kushina to move. She laughed cynically, "Ha-ha-ha I'm so close to you, why don't you try to catch me again?"

When Kushina saw that the fox was half a meter away from her, she had hopes of catching him so she started pretending that she was tired and that she had no interest in provoking the fox, in order to get him close. He managed to get the fox closer to him and he was half an arm away from him.

Once the fox gets close enough, Kushina crosses her physical limits by moving too fast. He was sure that he would catch the fox this time, but what he did not expect was that the fox could avoid it very easily.

"Haha, you really think I don't know what you're doing?" Sayuri laughed as her tail swung lightly.

"If I don't catch you now, I will do it in the future when I become stronger," Kushina insisted, insisting, vowing to never give up and become stronger until he captures Sayuri and retaliates against what happened today.
