Naruto: Rise To The Top
Nawakis

Ryuu quickly packed up their belongings, Ryuu returned to the clan and informed Fuku and Soota about his deployment on the battlefield. Souta prepares some food pills and tools and gives Ryuu and he also gives Ryuu tanto as a weapon, This is because the sword Mikoto gave him broke in the battle against Suna's forces.

But Fuku was a little displeased, pouting his mouth because he did not want to see Ryuu leave.

"Ka-san don't worry, I am strong and I became stronger after awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, I can take care of myself." Ryuu sighed when he saw Fuku frowning.

"I know you're strong, but you have to be careful and come back safely" Fuku said as he kissed Ryuu's forehead.

.....

At this time at the village entrance, Ryuu saw another acquaintance.

"Nawaki, I thought you were on the front line, I didn't expect you to be in Konoha," Ryuu said as soon as he saw Nawaki standing in front of the Konoha Gate.

Nawaki has short light brown hair, brown eyes, and a red hue on his cheeks. For clothing, he wears a dark teal poncho top and light green pants.

"I was given a week off so I went back to Konoha a week ago and my vacation is now over, I have to get back to the front line" Nawaki sighed with a frown as his vacation was short and he had to go back to war, he has not returned to Konoha since the war began and even when he returns he will be out After a while it makes him feel depressed. But he encouraged himself, saying, "I'll endure this predicament and become Hokage."

"By the way, I've been waiting for you. We will return to the front steps together because we will both go to the battlefield facing Iwa Village." After Nawaki said this, he patted Ryuu on the shoulder with a star-gazing look while pointing at himself, "Don't worry Ryuu, the future Hokage will protect you well."

"You know I'm stronger than you, right? You must have received the news that I killed Ebizo who was a semi-Kage, so I was the one who was supposed to protect you, not you." Ryuu said in a lukewarm voice as he removed Nawaki's hand from his shoulder.

After hearing Ryuu's words, Nawaki felt depressed and crouched down beside the tree, drawing a circle on the ground using his finger, muttering, "What if you become stronger and famous than me, "What if you become stronger and famous than me, I'm the one who will eventually become Hokage. "

"Nawaki, stop the depression, we have to go."

"Yes"

The figures of Ryuu and Nawaki flashed, completely disappearing from the village entrance and traveling to the rainy country. Ryuu and Nawaki are not slow and they also carry maps. They knew where Orochimaru and Jiraiya's forces were facing the Iwa Village's forces, so they ran non-stop.

Ryuu and Nawaki travel for two days before they arrive at the border of the rainy country.

Nawaki suggests to Ryuu that To be careful, and his suggestion is that they remove Konoha's forehead protectors, Ryuu and Nawaki remove Konoha's forehead protectors from their foreheads to hide their identities. On the battlefield, ninjas from large countries wear forehead protectors to facilitate the identification of their own people. And when Ryuu and Nawaki had just arrived at the border and had not met the Orochimaru and Jiraiya forces, it was certainly better to speculate.

Once they entered the borders of the rainy country, they felt that the surrounding air was moist, with thunder clouds rolling in the sky and continuous rain.

Along the way, Ryuu and Nawaki witnessed many sights. On the main battlefield, the rain country was filled with chaos, broken walls, and destruction. There were faint cries from the city and sometimes the sounds of fighting could be heard. Ryuu and Nawaki entered the small town in the rainy country and when they saw this scene, they felt a little depressed and sad.

Although Ryuu goes to war and kills hundreds of Suna ninjas, he feels depressed and sad because innocent people who have nothing to do with war suffer because of it.

But they did not have time to sigh, they heard footsteps and clearly saw ninjas from other countries approaching. Currently, the rain country had truly become a battlefield. Konoha, Suna, Iwa and Ame all fought separately, presenting a four-nation battle royale.

"Ryuu let's hide quickly" Nawaki whispered as he tried to drag Ryuu into a hidden corner but Ryuu did not move.

"We don't need to hide, they are the 12 people who are at the most Chuunin level, and it looks like they are from Iwa Village." Ryuu said in a cold voice, he was desperate to kill these ninjas, it is possible that these ninjas destroyed this city even though the people living in it were ordinary people and not ninjas.

Moments later, a group of ninjas appeared in front of Ryuu and Nawaki, one of the ninjas speaking while pointing towards them, "Look, there are two stupid civilians who are not hiding."

"What are you doing outside, son? Shouldn't you be hiding?" One of the ninjas looked at Ryuu and Nawaki and spoke cynically, despite hearing the ninja's sarcasm, Ryuu and Nawaki do not speak and do not move so the ninja thinks that Ryuu and Nawaki are so scared that they cannot speak or move "Haha, look at them how scared they are"

Moments after the ninja finished speaking, his head was cut off from his body and a smile still stuck to the ninja's face despite his death, Ryuu saw a smile on the face of the dead ninja and said sarcastically, "How great a dead ninja is with a smile on his face."

All the Iwa ninjas were shocked when they saw their comrades suddenly die by the boy in front of them, one of the ninjas quickly shouted, "Awas, he's not a civilian, he's a ninja."

"There's no use being careful with me, you're dead by now." Ryuu said those words as the corners of his lips lifted into a mocking smile.

"You're just a brat of robbers, don't talk nonsense" a ninja yells at Ryuu, but in the next moment Ryuu's body disappears as if it were a mirage. And in the next moment, all but one ninja were killed.

Ryuu grabs the neck of the only remaining ninja of the ninja group and looks him in the eye, then Ryuu activates his Sharingan.

At this moment, the three sharingan tomoe in Ryuu's eyes appeared and made eye contact with the Iwa ninja, as the three tomoe slowly rotated. This Iwa ninja only felt his consciousness getting blurred, until finally there was nothing at all.

Ryuu uses genjutsu with his network to obtain information.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan."

The reflection of the sharingan appeared in the eyes of the Iwa ninja, expressionless and he was clearly hypnotized by Ryuu.

"Who is the leader of Iwa in this small town now? What power?" Ryuu slightly frowned. It is clear that the city is now controlled by Iwa and they are hostile to Konoha. So Ryuu thought of eliminating them.

"This is Kanaye-sama, a jonin from our Iwa, his strength is very close to that of elite jonin."

"Is there any other jonin?" Ryuu asked again.

"There are three other jonin that are weaker than Kanaye-sama."

Ryuu nodded, knowing the power of Iwa in this small town. Iwa jonin is close to an elite jonin named Kanaye. There were also three jonin, a total of four jonin.

he directed the hypnotized Iwa ninja to say: "Now take us to find the jonin"

"Ryuu, what do you want to do?" Nawaki's surprised.

"I think what I'm about to do is very clear and you can figure it out without me telling you. But I'll keep answering, I'll kill all the Iwa ninjas in this town." Ryuu said coldly, a sharp look in his eyes and a serious expression on his face.

"What's? Are you kidding me? Didn't you promise the Third Hokage that you wouldn't be too careless when sent to the frontlines? Don't do that, if you do that means you're not obeying the Hokage's orders, " said Nawaki, frowning.

"No, I didn't disobey orders, I promised the Hokage that I wouldn't be rash when I got to Konoha's forces, but we haven't got there yet. Also how do you know about that?" After Ryuu was done, Ryuu stared intently at Nawaki.

"Hokage told me to keep an eye on you and stop you if you do anything reckless."

"Then will you try to stop me?" Ryuu looked at Nawaki and said with a smile.

When Nawaki saw Ryuu's smile, he felt a chill running through his body, so he quickly replied, "No, I'll never stop you."

"Good, let's go now.."
