"Congratulations for completing the 2nd Trial Ryu-kun"

Inari showed me a genuine smile not a sadistic one I might say, after 4 years I've complete mastery of all the jutsu's taught to me and I've finally forced Itachi and Shisui to use their [Sharingan] when we spar I think I could take on Low-jonins to Elite Jonins now but I'm not entirely sure guess I'll know soon enough.

"I still remember the 1st trial like it was yesterday Inari-sama" I took of my blindfold and put Suijin back in its scabbard, this trial focused on honing my [ Kenjutsu ] and senses to which supplied my weakness just in case I run out of chakra.

"Fufu~ yes I still remember your look when you tried counting everyone here"

Ah yes the first trial was the hardest I encountered here in Hiyokuna, it took me 2 years to complete the first trial

A quick rundown was to hunt down all the foxes here in Hiyokuna and seal them it was easy at first but soon enough I realized Inari-sama also taught the foxes here seals and so the battle of seals were being done whether I could seal all the foxes or not since the foxes could only undo the seals via help of another fox.

Through this trial I've finally reached Mom's level of Fuinjutsu, and because of this I finally learned the [ Chakra Absorption Seal ] and used it on Anko, needless to say It increased my Chakra Levels to a Tailed beast since Isobu was the one who told me, guess Orochimaru's chakra is a good enough battery supplier, also after my increase I've learned everything I can from Yamato-sensei since I can now do every Wood Style without holding back or get chakra exhaustion.

Inari-sama then went up to her altar and placed her hands on me and Yasaka

"Ryu-chan, Yasaka come here I will now allow you Yasaka to unseal half of her powers"

"Yes Inari-sama!" Yasaka then went near me and nestled in my neck soon enough she became lucid and turned into an orange chakra and fused with my own.

"This power Ryu is similar to that of the Sage mode that you so desire, you cannot gather nature energy yet and neither does Yasaka, but you will gain some of the powers of Sage mode such as heightened speed, senses and stamina only"

"Is there any disadvantage Inari-sama?"

"No there is none, unlike Sage mode that needs time to activate unless you've trained hard enough to activate it in an instant the only disadvantage I would say is how much your Chakra Quantity is since both You and Yasaka will be using yours"

I nodded and felt that I can sense a larger radius of using [Mind's Eye of the Kagura] which was usually around 1 kilometers to 2 kilometers its now around 3 to 5 kilometers I think.

"So this is more like Quasi-sage mode I presume? Inari-sama?" I asked her

"Yes, you could count as a training to gathering and sensing natural energy as Yasaka's chakra is a foreign entity in your system, the more you use that mode the more you'll be attuned to each other and by the time you've finished the third trial and learned sage-mode you can enter it at will since I hope you're already used to it"

As soon as she said that Yasaka appeared once more in my neck and already sleeping

"Speaking of the third trial may I know its contents Inari-sama?" I tilted my head and acting cute hoping she'll tell me

"It wouldn't hurt to tell you Ryu-kun, basically You'll be fighting me! of course I'll be holding back I don't want to kill our first summoner"

She smiled and I swore I saw a silhouette of Mom behind the back

"Now off you go!"

"Wai-!"

*POOF*

_____________

When I was summoned back to the courtyard I saw a Kunai Flying towards me

*Clang* I parried it with Suijin

[Kirigakure no Jutsu!]

This should provide me a bit of time! Yasaka let's fuse now!

"Yes!" She then turned lucid and fused with my Chakra, I feel strange but I'll have to get used to it.

[Mind's eye of the Kagura!] 3 people all in all I know it's Guren and Anko's chakra signature's but why is there another one I'm not familiar with?

[Crystal Release: Shuriken Wild Dance!]

[Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!]

'Fuck they're going all out!' I dodged the onslaught of the fireballs and crystal shurikens and repositioned myself near the lake

[Wood Style Hidden Jutsu: Deep Forest Emergence!]

[Moku Bunshin no Jutsu!]

I pumped a small amount of chakra so I could still keep the mist present even though it was thinned by Anko-chan, I ordered my clones to prepare the special seal that I've been practicing, soon my clones went inside the tree's I've created going to the positions I told them

[ Coral Palm! ]

I was suddenly launched by someone back into the lake, Now I know who it is!

[Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison!]

"Oh no you don't Guren!"

[Earth Dragon Bullet Technique! ] Suddenly A Mud Dragon was formed using Earth and Water elements that aimed for the crystal prison heading towards Ryu

*Crack* The crystals slowly broke down

"Now!"

[Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave] I altered the terrain I sensed Guren was and went near her

[Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Blade!] And just like the anime blue crystal blades formed on her hands and we soon engaged in hand to hand combat

*Clang* She slashed on my chest but I parried it with Suijin she soon followed up with a kick to the knee and blocked it once more.

I thrust forward and she ducked down and swept my feet and she followed it by an uppercut to which I backflipped in anticipation of her patterns

'Why did I see a glimpse of Shoryuken?'

"You're getting good Guren!"

"If I were you Ryu I'd shut up the lose the arrogance during fights who knows you'll lose when you least expect it!"

I nodded at her words and we continued to fight not until Anko-chan appeared at the side

[Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!]

Snakes were trying to restrain my movement and I was flown back when another palm hit my back

[Tailed Beast Shockwave!]

I was suddenly thrown back and Guren,Rin and Anko came out in the open and were preparing to cast their Jutsu's but not before

" I win" I told them with a smile soon the body turned into wood

"Damn! We've been facing a clone all this time!?" Anko was fuming

[Fuinjutsu : Chakra-Suppressing Seal!]

[Fuinjutsu : Four-Corner Sealing Barrier!]

A large scale seal appeared on the ground covering the area soon another seal appeared and a barrier was erected

'I'm sure my clones can keep the barrier open for awhile'

"Eh? Isobu Why can't I use chakra?"

"I'm sorry Rin but the seal little Ryu performed suppressed all kinds of chakra including mine, this is out of my hands now and a terrifying seal for a tailed beast"

"But what about You Guren?" Anko asked

"I also can't use it but my Crystal blades are still here" She looked at her arms seeing it was still intact

"All of you done?" I sheepishly laughed at them and felt like one of those villains that could finally kill the protagonists. I immediately activated my [Ketsuryūgan]

"Oi not fair Ryu-kun!"

"It still 3 versus 1 Anko-chan!"

"Tch"

After moments of battling the three of them were lying on the ground.

"*huff* you know *huff* that seal is such a cheat Ryu!" Rin exclaimed

"Yeah! combined with your [Ketsuryūgan] its almost like you're unbeatable!"

"And that's why you have to practice your Taijutsu Anko-chan! I even had to made mine just in case I run out of chakra! Looks like Training my body early was the best choice!"

"Why do you sound like Guy sensei now Ryu? All that's missing is you shouting Youth" Guren said and soon all of us were laughing.

"I guess I am his student after all" I tilted my head

"Oi Ryu, Guren I heard it was yesterday was your graduation from the academy I wonder who both of your Jonin will be"

"Yeah me too, let's go Guren" Guren nodded and we went both back to the academy.

Guren almost looked like her canon self now and she took a lot of Anko's style not that I'm complaining

After both of them left

"Say Rin what jutsu did both of them perform yesterday?"

Rin flinched as she remembered what they did

_____________

"Minakami Guren, your turn"

Guren walked forward to the platform

[ Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Mirror ] A green mirror soon appeared in front of her making Hiruzen and the rest of the examiners watch in awe

[Jade Crystal Clone Technique] she said calmly, soon 5 Guren clones came out of the Mirror

"Lord Third this! I can't even see which one is the real one with the Byakugan!" A Hyuga reported to the Hokage

"Oh! so this is her Kekkei Genkai? All right no more questions she passes" Hiruzen was happy so far with all the new blood inheriting the will of fire.

"Minakami Ryujin"

'What should I do?' Ryu looked at the rest of the students he looked at Sasuke who recently did his Fireball jutsu, then look at Naruto who just did the Shadow clone.

'Eh it is my last day at the academy, It won't hurt to show off a bit'

Soon Chakra was forming in his hands which shocked the Hokage since he knew what Ryu was performing.

'So he already knows that jutsu, I heard from Kakashi he also learnt Chidori and even improved it, I wonder if he can also do that to the Rasengan'

"Ok Ryu, You can stop now don't bother trying to launch that anywhere" Hiruzen spoke

"Yes Lord Third!"

And with that I graduated as Top 1 in the Academy.

_____________

"Nothing much Anko" She flashed a smile towards Anko"

"I'll believe you then"

_____________

As soon as I put my forehead protector we soon left towards the academy.

"Jin-kun!" Ino shouted when I entered

"A-ano Ryu-kun!" Hinata soon followed

Though Hinata mellowed out for a bit she only turns red on Naruto but she faints when I'm the one talking to her, Is she conflicted perhaps?

"I won't back down Ino!"

"Sure you won't Hinata"

Both ladies whispered to each other

"What a drag" Shikamaru said after seeing both of them interact.

"Did I hear something Shikamaru?" Guren exclaimed, both of them are always like this, It won't surprise me that Guren will replace Temari unless?

"Oi Ryu! What took you so long!" Naruto shouted from the back

"Hello everyone, me and Guren just finished training" I replied

"I'll join you and Itachi soon enough Ryu you can count on it"

"Sure Sasuke me and Itachi will help you"

Soon Iruka came in

"All right class I know you're all excited now let's start!"

Everything followed the same way as canon nothing much but as soon as I was called

"All right last but not the least Team 12! Minakami Guren, Minakami Ryujin and Shihōin Yoru, Your Captain will be Yamato!"

'What the fuck?'
