Naruto: Rise To The Top
45- Ryuu vs. Shoda (part 1)

Ryuu and Shoda faced each other and were separated by a distance of 5 meters, at this moment Sho who was standing between them spoke "Start"

As soon as he heard Sho's words, Ryuu gathered the natural energy in his body very quickly and entered Sage Mode in a few moments.

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.

After Ryuu enters Sage Mode, Shoda approaches him and attacks him, Shoda's nails are long and shaped like claws and he tries to stab Ryuu using them.

Ryuu dodged it by moving sideways, then sent a kick towards Shoda's leg, but Shoda leapt back to dodge the attack and then used hand seals and used the Water Element to attack Ryuu.

"Water release: spear"

A 2m long spear made of water shot towards Ryuu at high speed.

When Ryuu saw the spear heading towards him he squeezed the chakra in his body and turned it into fire without using hand seals and took a breath then took it out of his mouth as flames shot out from his mouth and were gigantic in appearance. the ball that vaporized the water spear and continued towards Shoda.

"Fire Release: The Great Fireball Technique"

'He used Senjutsu chakra to strengthen this technique.' Shoda thought while doing hand seals very quickly.

Shuda turns the chakra in his body into water, compresses it, and then takes out a small water ball towards Ryuu Fire Technique.

"Water release: big water ball"

As soon as the small water ball touched the large fireball, the water ball began to expand at high speed and engulfed the fireball inside it, but the water ball evaporated after the fire was extinguished and thick steam spread in the area.

When Ryuu sees this, an inspiration comes to him and the idea of how he can use the water chakra with his Rasengan.

But he didn't have time to write down this idea or go deeper now because he was fighting and if he was distracted a little he would lose.

Ryuu's chakra senses are much stronger after he enters Sage mode, so he can now feel Shuda's place in the fog very well and will never escape his senses.

After Ryuu sensed Shoda's existence, he used his shadow clone and sent it to Shoda.

As he moved towards Shoda, the clones used the Rasengan in each hand, adding wind properties to the right and adding fire properties to the left.

"Wind release: Rasengan."

Fire Element: Rasengan.

Shoda notices Ryuu's clone movements and sees the Rasenkan in both clone's hands, and prepares to fight him as he has seen Ryuu use this technique before.

"Do you think this is the same as the previous one?, you are wrong, you better be careful and not die," the clone said as he became one meter away from Shoda, then direct the two Rasenkan to each other.

Once the two Rasengan of fire and wind were in contact with each other, a huge explosion occurred.

The nature of the wind encapsulates the nature of fire and makes it stronger, the Rasengan develops very quickly and includes clones and Shoda in it.

Ryuu who was far away saw the flames that were expanding so rapidly that it encompassed an area of a large circle with a diameter of 10 meters in a few moments and destroyed everything in that area.

"As expected, my creativity is very strong." Ryuu was pleased with the technique he had created himself.

"I was able to create this technique yesterday, I was finally able to combine these two techniques after a long struggle of trying and failing" Ryuu said happily.

While Ryuu spoke, Shoda returned to his human form and then entered the Ascetic Mode. When entering the Sage Maud her eyelids were dyed gold and her irises changed to a shape resembling a fox iris and her claws appeared, and there were fox ears and nine yellow tails with white tips. Its tail and ears are original, unlike Ryuu's ears and tail which are made of chakra.

'Damn, this is the first time Shuda entered Sage Mode in our fight, Sarah, show her stats,' Ryuu frowned and then instructed Sarah to show Shuda's stats.
