Inari

It has been already a week since Ryu and his team arrived in Konoha with Fū thus Ryu took his chance to Challenge Inari while waiting for his next mission.

"I'll seal you with this!"

[Wood Release : Four Pillar Prison! ]

Soon wood formed below the ground and Inari was enclosed by the prison but she just smiled and smirked

"Ara~ Good technique Ryu, but what about if I can do this?"

Inari teleported and appeared in front of Ryu

"Thanks for the help Inari sama!"

[ Genjutsu : Ketsuryūgan ]

Ryu did the same with Obito as Inari was trapped for a fraction of a second he immediately launched a Rasengan but before it could land Inari teleported to another location behind Ryu's back

"Don't underestimate people just because you have the advantag Ryu No-!"

'Same to you Inari-sama' Ryu also teleported behind Inari Once more

[RASENGAN!]

And this time it hit blowing Inari away.

"Ara~ to land a hit on me, though it only tickled fufu~" Inari reappeared in front of Ryu once more.

[ Sage Art : Thousand Lotus!]

"I hope you can dodge this Ryu fufu~" Inari said as she floated and threw various chakra elemental orbs at Ryu.

*BOOM*

The attack wasted the area leaving behind numerous craters Inari finally stopped floating and surveyed the area, with a snap of her hands the area bloomed once more. Inari stopped for awhile and when she couldn't spot Ryu

The ground quacked and it revealed a Ryu lunging another [Rasengan] from below it Hit Inari in the chin once more but this time she wasn't blown away rather she stood there and let the [Rasengan] spin at her chin she soon looked and gave a sadistic smile to Ryu and kicked him meters away

"Ara it's my loss Ryu, you made me use the Natural energy Hiyokuna"

Ryu was unconscious as he didn't hear what Inari said.

'Hmm? Did I used too much Natural energy?'

Soon Yasaka fused out of Ryu and laid on his chest waiting for him to wake, she looked at Inari with a confused face

"Did you have to be so hard on him?"

"Yes? anyways Yasaka congratulations he can now learn Sage mode tell him when he wakes up to come to me"

"How much power did you use?" Yasaka asked

"100% if not I would be blown away, that last Rasengan Ryu did equally rivaled half of a tailed beast bomb I think he put all of his chakra on that one, I thought the Rasengan would get bigger like the usual but his mastery is even better to make it small but hurt like a tailed beast bomb."

"I think he still hasn't added his elements Inari-sama" Yasaka told Inari.

"Then that would be more troublesome if he does" Yasaka then looked at her hands and pulled a vial from a seal in her left hand.

"Inari-sama Thats!" Yasaka was shocked as she knew that what Inari had taken out was once the Inari's blood.

"I trust him enough Yasaka, and he's waking up now I'll explain soon come" Yasaka then dragged a heavy Ryu towards the altar and Inari healed him.

"Ugh! Inari-sama that hurt way too much." Ryu grumbled as he held his stomach

"I know, I did it on purpose fufu~" She soon presented Ryu the Vial.

"What's that? Did I lose?" Ryu tilted his head in confusion.

"No, in fact Ryu you've proven yourself more than capable and as The Fox sage I will grant you this" Inari then gave Ryu that Vial.

"What is this Inari sama? Why does it feel strange even when I hold it"

"That's the blood of Hamura Ōtsutsuki" Inari Said

'What the fuck!?' Ryu's eyes widened at learning on what the liquid was and who owned it.

"I will tell you a story Ryu, and the reason why we foxes have been in hiding for so long"

'This isn't part of the Naruto I know!' Ryu's eyes looked at Inari and watched her explain.

"That blood there represents the final failsafe of Hamura on the inhabitants of the earth, and by earth the one you are living in now"

"Wait we aren't at Earth?"

"Correct Ryu, we are at a different dimension as you would say, Hamura made this as another failsafe just in case his other plan wouldn't work, naturally we have been observing Humans for a long time as well, I do not know what has happened of his other plan but I assume it is safe to say that it has failed"

"Failed? How?"

"Back when I was young as Yasaka, Hamura would come here himself or send parts of his chakra to signal us that we should not move yet, but alas soon enough when he was at his deathbed he came here for the last time and he explained to us never to meddle in the affairs of the world unless we see someone worthy"

"And How am I worthy Inari-sama?"

"I don't know to be honest, there is no logical reason behind my decision its as if not only me but the vial is emitting an aura that screams towards you, Your Grandfather and Father were once candidates for us to summon but Hashirama disappeared too suddenly and your Father was killed before we could contact him alas when you were born the Vial shook and thus we foxes had to find the reason why"

Ryu was silent as he hadn't known why Hashirama had disappeared too and why his father was killed.

"You see, Hagoromo, who is Hamura's brother still lives to this day waiting for a chance to finally end his mother that's what Hamura told us before he died, he said that Hagoromo was waiting for the Reincarnations of his sons to help him, because of this Hamura also made 2 plans as for the other plan I do not have any details about it other than helping the earth's inhabitant's in time of need and the other-"

"Raise a successor he could trust, as he did not want to raise another person like his Mother but one coming from the earth they both held dear? but if I get his bloodline do I get every power he has?"

"You are correct Young Ryu, seeing you grow and make friends with everyone, saving people who could be saved as well as put a line on when to kill or not allowed me have this decision, as for your second question, if this was still decades earlier then Yes you would have had all his abilities but-" Before Inari could end A Lucid form took over.

"Instead You will gain all my affinities, talent and chakra slowly as it integrates within you" The Man said

Ryu was shocked as he saw the Hamura in his prime.

Hamura looked at Inari and nodded at her.

"I will take it from here Inari, you've done a good job to find a worthy successor, You see Ryu while I do believe in my brother, I did not believe in his sons nor mine thus I had to do this and Chose You, an Inhabitant from that world who also built bonds along the way Asura did but was also Smart Like Indra, though you are still young and have to yet hit your potential, I have a request for you."

"What Request is it Hamura-sama?" Ryu was now extremely nervous and confused on this development.

"You see before your father died he searched why Hashirama disappeared suddenly but he found one of the ruins of the Otsutsuki clans on earth instead, he was killed then and there, what I want from you is to eliminate them as I believe they do not have good intentions, also I felt something wrong before I died I can't put my finger on it but I believe someone is trying to revive my mother I do not want to see another world when I was young, thus I'm entrusting this task to you, one I should have done long ago"

"What about Hagoromo's sons?"

"Hagoromo will reveal himself naturally but I do not want to take any risks with it thus if you could somehow stop it early then that would be the best Young Ryu, as for now get stronger and train once more you will face more beings powerful than Inari once You've matured, I feel a sense of dread in the coming future one I do not wish to see"

"I understand Hamura-sama!" Ryu said seriously and with determined eyes

"The power I am giving you is earned not given Ryu, feel free to use it as you like I have placed my hopes in you in helping stop mother again the sooner you master this the better you have a chance in stopping what's coming and lastly continue the dream I entrust in you , A world of full of peace and happiness, come closer and open the vial and give me your dominant hand" Hamura gestured Ryu soon gave his left hand to Hamura in which Hamura placed his also

"Drink the blood essence" Ryu soon followed Hamura's instructions once he drank it he felt Hamura's chakra integrating with his while Hamura in front of him controlled the amount and pressure while also opening any blockades in his chakra pathway.

"In time Young Ryu, you will learn more of the power I gave you, though you will not inherit my Doujutsu I have modified yours I suggest you train in it more as you grow older naturally you will also grow more powerful" Soon Hamura turned lucid and was fleeting away once more.

"I put my trust in you Young Ryu"

Soon Inari,Yasaka and Ryu were left in the dimension but Ryu broke the Silence.

"When do I begin my training?" Ryu said

"Now" Inari replied

"Ryu-san! You're here!" A young girl shouted

"Oh hello there Fū, you've been practicing have you?"

"Mm I've been making progress and I'm already friends with Chōmei soon enough I'll catch up with you!" Fū giggled

"Sure you will, hey isn't time for your class?"

"I left a shadow clone plus someone is Yamato-san and Guren-san is waiting for you outside!"

"Thanks Fū" Ryu ruffled Fū's hair as she giggled and practiced her chakra control once more.

"Understood, Guren fetch Yoru I think she overslept once more" Guren nodded and made a shadow clone to take Yoru who they believed was still sleeping.
