Naruto: Rise To The Top
41-Sage Transformation

After using the Reverse Summoning Technique, Ryuu appeared in the throne room where he had last been, the room was empty and there was no one in it but Ryuu.

Suddenly two guards enter the room and surround Ryuu and they want to attack the intruder, but one of them notices Ryuu's face, and stops the other guard, "Stop Ryuu-sama."

"I'm looking for Sho-sama or Shoichi-san where are they now?" Ryuu asks where Sho or Shoichi is.

"Sho-sama is in seclusion right now so I thought you couldn't meet him, but Shoichi-sama is training with his son right now. Let me take you to him." One of the guards told Ryuu to follow, so Ryuu went with him.

The guard brought Ryuu down to the fourth floor, opened the door of one of the rooms there and entered, followed by Ryuu inside. As soon as Ryuu entered, he saw a scene similar to the fifth test, there were many doors around the room.

The guard walked over to one of the doors, then pointed at him and said to Ryuu, "Come in to this door. This will take you straight to the logic of Shoichi-sama's practice."

'Do all these doors have space-time capabilities.' Ryuu thought.

When the guard noticed that Ryuu was thinking, he guessed what he was thinking, "All of these doors are connected to different places by a very complex space-time seal, which is very complex, which makes it easier for us to move to a different place."

"It's really amazing and useful" Ryuu was very impressed with the person who sparked this idea, 'I wonder if they'll let me see how it works, ' he said, maybe I can apply such a method in Konoha. This will be very useful for the village especially in wartime.'

"I'm leaving now. I have to get back to work" said the guard, after which he walked out of the room.

After the guards left, Ryuu opened the door and entered, as soon as he entered the space in front of him began to change and within moments he was transferred to an enormous training ground almost 100 times larger than the seventh training ground in Konoha.

As soon as he moved, he saw two nine-tailed giant foxes fighting fiercely. But they stopped fighting after a while after Ryuu appeared, as they were aware of his presence.

After a while, the two of them turned into human forms, and approached Ryuu, then Shoichi greeted Ryuu and introduced his son, "Hei Ryuu, I didn't expect you to come back here so soon, I didn't expect that you would come back here so soon, this is my son."

"Hi, my name is Shoda, nice to meet you." Shoda said with a small smile on her face and reached out to shake hands with Ryuu and Ryuu doing the same.

Shoda appears to be 20 years old, with long yellow hair with silvery tips and blue eyes. He tied his hair back with a low ponytail, with a bangs framing a handsome and neat face. He was tall and wore clothes of the same color as his eyes with silver ornaments.

"So Ryuu, do you need anything here?" Shoichi asks Ryuu, because he did not expect Ryuu to be back here, because he left yesterday night and came back today in the morning which surprised him.

"Aren't you supposed to ask if Sayuri came back before asking that?" Ryuu asked Shoichi in amazement.

When Shoichi and Shoda hear Ryuu's question, they laugh out loud, and Shoichi says, "Hehehe, I know my daughter well, she won't be back so soon, she said, surely when you told her that you wanted to come back, she refused. to come back with you."

"Tell me what you came for" Shoichi said after he finished laughing.

"To learn the Hermit Mode, your amount of chakra must be very high and second, your body must be strong enough to withstand the increase in strength from its use." Shoichi begins by explaining the requirements to learn Sage Mode.

"I can feel a large amount of your chakra and it's suitable for studying the ascetic Mode, so let's check if your body is strong enough." Shoichi speaks while walking towards Ryuu and grabs his shoulder and then sends a very strong pressure on Ryuu's body.

After a minute, Shoichi removed his hand from Ryuu's shoulder, "Your body is also quite strong, so do you want to start learning now?"

"Yes, let's start now, I'm looking forward to this." Ryuu was very excited to start learning Sage Mode.

“Good, sit in whatever position you think is comfortable, I'll gather and intensify some natural energy in your sitting area so that it's easier for you when you feel it, then try to bring it into your body and try to combine it with. Physical energy and spiritual energy, and you have to make those three energies balanced."

Ryuu sat in the lotus position. Upon seeing that Ryuu has sat down, Shoichi enters the ascetic Mode without meditating and in a short time as if something natural like breathing then accumulates natural energy in the area where Ryuu is sitting.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan did not have anything similar to the oil of the Myoboku Mountain frog so they developed natural energy gathering and condensation techniques to make it easier for the smaller members of their clan to learn the Hermit Mode and Senjutsu.

Once Ryuu felt the natural energy around him and tried to pull it into his body, after a while of trying he was able to absorb it into his body and slowly combine it with his chakra.

As soon as the natural energy entered Ryuu's body, he lost control and his body began to absorb a large amount of natural energy, as if his body was a person in the desert and his natural energy was water. Once he discovered the natural energy, he began to absorb it violently.

'What happened, I've never seen anything like this before, I should try to stop him' Shoichi tried to quickly approach Ryuu to expel natural energy from his body, but he was a little late.

Ryuu's hair turns silver, and Ryuu gets a silver chakra sheath that forms fox ears and nine tails. The color of the sclera turns yellow, and the iris changes to a shape that resembles the iris of a fox eye, and has fangs and claws.

Shoichi was shocked to see Ryuu's current form, he had already expected Ryuu to turn into a stone statue due to the excessive absorption of natural energy, but this was not the case, ryuu's body automatically balances the natural energy with physical energy and spiritual energy and expels the excess natural energy from his body.

Ryuu looks at Shoichi and moves very quickly towards him and uses his claws to try to hit Shoichi's chest, Shoichi notices Ryuu's movements so he crosses his arms in front of his chest to fend off Ryuu's attack, ryuu's attack power was so strong that it made Shoichi retreat 5 steps.

'It seems like he has completely lost control of his actions, I have to expend natural energy from his body quickly.' As Shoichi thought about this, a red-haired youth appeared behind Ryuu and placed his palm on Ryuu's back. In a few moments, all the natural energy came out of Ryuu's body, and he lost consciousness.

"Oto-sama, didn't you ever seclude yourself, I thought you wouldn't be out for a month or so" Shoichi spoke to his father.

"I sensed that the natural energy in this area was turbulent, so I used space-time ninjutsu to move here." Sho spoke seriously and then looked towards Ryuu who had lost consciousness, "We should train him well so that he does not lose control anymore due to absorbing the natural energy."
