An alarm sounded and Ryu woke up in a daze, frowning "Where am I?"
The Genin: He was really sleeping?!
Ryu smacked his lips and squinted, suddenly pointing at Genin after Genin, saying "Failed, failed, failed, failed."
The Genin were shocked and said "What?! What do you mean! I didn't cheat at all!" Ryu yawned and said "Your answers are the same as the guy in seat 276 even the spelling mistakes are the same. The way he writes his S's is special, how do you have the same writing as him? Maybe I'm an idiot?"
The Genin shut his mouth and Ryu waved "Leave before I splatter your brains across the floor." They all left like as if there was a plague here.
Ryu stood up and said "Okay, stop!" the rest looked up. Ryu smiled, "Time for the 10th Question. This question is very special! If you opt out of answering you fail! If you get it wrong, I'll kill you! If even one person in your team opts out or gets it wrong, you're all finished!"
Ryu raised a finger and winked, "But! I had a good nap, so I'll let you choose to leave if you don't want to answer. I will really kill you if you get it wrong!"
Ryu suddenly turned expressionless and his Conqueror's haki exploded as he licked his lips, "I can't wait to paint the walls with your delicious blood, heh heh~"
The genin were terrified and slowly rose their trembling hands, leaving on their own.
Ryu intensified the pressure, grinning "Anybody else~?" he cackled and added "Don't be scared… It'll only hurt for an instant~"
His eyes sharpened and everyone saw Ryu sitting on a mountain of bloody corpses, eating the flesh off a severed arm!
A few weak willed Genin threw up and ran out.
Naruto slapped the table and pointed at Ryu, shouting "Shut up! You're lying!" Ryu appeared in front of him and lifted him up by the throat, licking his lips as he said "Are you sure~?"
Naruto choked and said "You'll never… stop me… from… becoming Hokage!"
The rest of the Genin were shocked and looked at Ryu, who turned to them and grinned evilly "Does anyone want to join him?" as he ripped Naruto to pieces!
Some Genin turned pale and ran while the others grit their teeth and attacked Ryu!
Ryu suddenly smiled and clapped, "Congratulations!"
The Genin were confused and Naruto reappeared with his arms crossed.
Ryu smiled at the Genin as Sakura shouted "A Genjutsu!? When did you cast it?!" Ryu tilted his head and smiled softly, "It's a secret, Sakura-chan." Sakura teared up, feeling guilty for calling Ryu a devil last time, she said "Ryu-sensei.. I-"
Ryu rubbed her head and smiled "Don't worry, I forgive you." Sakura burst into tears and hugged him. He looked at the rest and said "You've passed."
They all fell to the ground and let out all their sweat and anxiety, smiling with relief.
Ryu was holding Hinata like a doll in his arms as he said "The 10th Question was all about courage. You know in war, you might have to dive head first into enemy territory to get information or save your comrades. If you can't even face a scary enemy, how can you be a ninja?"
He shook his head and added "I hope you'll remember that even if the odds are stacked against you, you should never show fear but smile instead." he tilted his head with a happy smile, "Because to die in battle with a strong enemy is a much more fulfilling end than living as a coward."
He smiled at the Cloud Shinobi, "In this regard, the Third Raikage really is a Hero of your Cloud Village." the Cloud ninja clenched their fists and smiled proudly, Ryu turned and said to the Rock Ninja, "Of course, every single ninja that died in that battle is a hero as well. The Third Raikage was a monster that took 10,000 ninja and days to kill. You should be proud of them."
He nodded and clapped at their smiles, "Alright. You all passed, you can leave."
Just as he said that, a figure smashed through the window and threw up a massive black flag that said 'Second Test Invigilator!'
Anko slapped the flag and shouted "What are you dawdling here for!? I'm your invigilator for the Second Test! Mitarashi Anko! Everyone with me! Now! Hurry! I'll kill you!" as she kicked a kid out the window!
Ryu held Hinata and was dumbfounded, shouting "Are you nuts!?" Anko fell silent and the rest of the Genin looked at Anko in shock.
Hinata nearly had a heart attack and died.
Anko looked at Ryu and pouted "You're ruining my momentum~!" Ryu rubbed his nose and replied "You didn't do it yourself…?" Anko's eyes twitched and she said "Do you still want some tonight or what?"
Ryu took out a small flag and waved it shouting "Second Test Invigilator! Woohoo!" Anko raised her chin and puffed out her large chest with pride as her trench coat fluttered in the wind behind her.
The Genin: ???
Anko walked over to Ryu and looked at the Genin frowning "17 teams left?! That's too much! Why did you go easy on them?" Ryu scratched his head and replied with a devil grin "I didn't want to traumatize them…"
Anko looked at him and sighed, patting his cheek as she said softly "It's okay~ I'll thin 'em out~" she kissed him and shouted at the Genin "COME ON, BASTARDS!" before kicking Naruto straight out the window!
Hinata said in shock "Naruto-kun!" Ryu looked at Hinata and smiled, rubbing her head as he put her down. He squatted and winked at her, saying "Take care of Naruto for me, okay Hinata-chan?"
Hinata blushed and touched her fingers together, twisting her feet as she looked down, nodding softly "En." Ryu smiled and let her go as they disappeared with Anko.
Some Genin glared at him as they left, cursing "Lucky bastard! What an asshole! How dare he desecrate my goddess! I'll kill him one day! Damn! My big boobed long legged goddess was tainted, how can I go on!?"
Ryu kicked one of them flying out the window as he shouted "That's MY big boobed, long legged goddess, you stupid bastard!"
The rest of the Genin jumped out the window by themselves…
A while later
Ryu was shuttling through the Forest of Death, wondering what he should do.
Does he let Sasuke continue on the path of Hatred or train him to be successful in the village…
Ryu frowned to himself. He really didn't know… Sasuke was a genius, if he left the village he could create all kinds of Lightning Jutsu and get power through Orochimaru. But Ryu really didn't want Sasuke to live in hatred…
Mostly because he considered Sasuke to be his son…
But he was torn because if Sasuke stayed in the village, maybe it would strangle his talent… After all, Sasuke didn't have a Template to get stronger. He needed adversity and life and death battles.
Ryu frowned, analyzing the pros and cons.
If he trained Sasuke himself, his taijutsu would be good, but his other skills would be lacking…
Although Ryu knew a lot about Ninjutsu, he could only use Fire Jutsu. It was part of Ryujin Jakka, it didn't like anything other than fire!
But if he let Sasuke defect, how much pain would Sasuke go through? Not to mention Naruto… But he would get significantly stronger and Naruto would have a permanent goal to strive for.
The two would progress at a much faster rate than just staying here in peace!
Ryu had pain in his eyes and he closed them.
No matter what he chose…
He opened his eyes and a sharp light surged as he sped up!
If Orochimaru touches my son, I'll kill him!
~~~
Orochimaru's neck elongated to bite Sasuke as Sakura trembled in fear behind him. Just as he was about to connect, a foot slammed into Orochimaru's face, sending him flying!
Ryu landed in front of Sasuke, saying coldly "Take Naruto and get out of here!"
Sasuke said with an ugly face, "Bu-" Ryu shouted, turning to Sasuke with his Mangekyou, "I said GET OUT OF HERE!"
Sasuke was dazed, staring at the Sun Patterns in Ryu's eyes, but nodded and left with Naruto and Sakura.
Ryu turned back to Orochimaru saying "Pretty low to attack a child, eh? As expected of the 3 Trash cans of Konoha, no wonder you were taught by that dumpster fire Hiruzen." Orochimaru raised his brows and licked his face like a snake, replying with surprise "Little Ryu, long time no see…"
He looked at Ryu and tilted his head, adding "And you opened Mangekyou? I presume it's been a long time?" Ryu frowned coldly, replying "Cut the shit, Orochimaru. Leave Sasuke alone. I'm not going to tell you twice."
Orochimaru sneered, tearing his skin off, revealing his true appearance as he laughed, "With just you?" Ryu suddenly smiled and it was a very terrifying smile as he said "Would you like to know what my Mangekyou does?"
Ryu exploded into flames, covering his arms and legs, burning all over as the air started rippling from the sheer heat.
He hopped on his feet and there was an explosion under them as Ryu appeared in front of Orochimaru in a literal instant!
Ryu kicked at Orochimaru's head with a terrifying grin on his face as he said "Detonation and Cloaking"
