As he spoke about the true purpose of every village taking the Exam together, a boy shouted "But why do we have to fight and kill?!"
Ryu coughed and laughed, everyone turned to him and he patted his chest, sighing "A Dango in the throat… The sweetest misery…"
Kakashi choked and Hiruzen's lips twitched, Naruto pointed at Ryu and shouted "Why are you laughing at him?! You dango freak!" Ryu looked up and smiled "Didn't I tell you? You need to be prepared to die against powerful enemies."
He spread his arms and sighed "Since the other 4 Villages can't stand being weaker than Konoha, they start wars to try and win. So really you HAVE to fight and kill just to survive. The World is a rough place because the Leaders of various villages have huge egos but little strength."
He waved and smiled, "Here's an example, that old hag in the Sand village has no ability at all except poison. I can kill her with a slap and she knows this so she's not happy about me thinking about it and starts a war to try and get me killed."
Everyone was dumbfounded and Gaara snarled "Don't talk about Lord Chiyo like that!" Ryu sighed and said helplessly, "See? So much ego for what? Among all villages the Sand Village is extremely poor, you can't even afford a war… Why are you starting them?"
He chuckled and added, "Last I heard, the Fourth Kazekage was sifting for gold himself…" before putting a Dango in his mouth and licking his fingers with a happy expression.
Anko covered her face in shame and the other Jonin trembled, their mouths twitching…
Hiruzen pulled his hat down and cleared his throat "Well, anyway… Contradictions between villages have been going on for a long time… It won't go away so easily…" he then went on to say that there would be a bunch of people watching and it would replace wars.
Then another Jonin appeared to start the preliminaries, asking if anyone wanted to leave.
Ryu threw a Dango in his mouth, turning to a Sound Jonin. The guy turned to him and curled his lips, licking his face strangely.
Ryu rolled his eyes and looked at the white haired kid, Kabuto.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank and his smile widened strangely.
Ryu sneered at the corner of his mouth as Kabuto abstained from fighting, bringing the number down to 20 from 21.
Strangely, everything went back to the original Manga.
Everyone who was supposed to be here, was here.
Ryu rubbed his chin and turned his gaze to Sasuke as he was announced to fight with one of Kabuto's team first.
He frowned to himself, putting a Dango in his mouth as he pulled out a notebook, writing down something.
Sasuke and the guy lined up across from each other as the rest of the Genin went to a viewing area.
Ryu jumped to a railing and sat on it, writing down in the notebook while throwing Dango in his mouth.
Anko leaned on the railing next to him, grabbing Dango from his bag and eating them as she asked "What are you doing?" Ryu replied slowly, "Sasuke awakened 3 Tomoe Sharingan, I wonder how fast he will win…"
He scratched his temple with the end of the pen, adding "I can't really teach him much…"
Anko rested her shin on her hand as she watched Sasuke fight with the guy.
He flashed behind the guy and swept out his leg, smashing the guy in the head, sending him flying into a wall! He kicked off the air and flipped, smashing his heel down on the guy's face.
Ryu nodded and wrote down in the book, saying "Good speed, he didn't forget what I taught him." Anko turned to him, smiling "He would have a brain problem if he did, right?" then she spread her hands, adding helplessly "Getting beaten for 5 years, even a pig would remember the moves."
Ryu chuckled and turned to Naruto, who looked up at him, smiling happily. Ryu rubbed his head and smiled "This pig has been beaten for much longer and still doesn't remember."
Anko snorted with laughter, teasing Naruto, "Oh that's right, he's worse than a pig~!" Naruto froze and complained "Stop bullying me! You bastards!" Ryu chuckled and ruffled his hair, saying "If you don't remember, I will beat you harder, understand?"
Naruto shuddered and clenched a fist, saying "I'll win! Then I'll be Hokage!"
Ryu sighed helplessly, looking at this damn moron, he grit his teeth and cursed "My ass! You're only 12 years old! Have you ever heard of a 12 year old Hokage?! The Fourth Mizukage only looks like a brat!"
The fights continued~
Sakura and Ino had a double knock out and Ryu clicked his tongue, looking at the two, sighing and shaking his head. Naruto looked up at Ryu and frowned "Why are you shaking your head like that?"
Ryu looked at him and said "You think Sakura is a good ninja?" Naruto blinked and nodded, Ryu chuckled and said "Then you're a fool." Naruto was stunned and the other Genin looked over.
Ryu explained with a bored expression, "They fought for 10 minutes with no winner, if you can't instantly kill your opponent do you think the enemy will sit there and fight with you in a battle of honor? Unfortunately by the second minute, several other ninja will come as reinforcements and kill you. But then again, Sakura and Ino are both support ninja, not fighting ninja."
He turned his head and snorted, "If you can't fight, then don't fight. This Chunin exam is inherently flawed at its core. Support ninja can't become Chunin. Ino's Mind Swapping Technique is slow and ineffective without Shikamaru's shadow art while Sakura is basically not good at anything."
Naruto opened his mouth and Ryu ignored him, continuing "Sakura's talents are in Chakra control which happens to coincide with Medical Ninjutsu. She is a Medical Ninja, not a fighting ninja. If not for Sasuke and Naruto, would she even make it this far?"
He shook his head and spread his hands out, shrugging his shoulders as he sighed "Definitely not~"
Naruto frowned, "You don't have to be so mean." Ryu smiled at him asking, "Do you think I'm being mean? I'm telling you the truth. If she was smarter she would train instead of trying to maintain her beautiful image. If she was smarter she would obediently practice Medical Ninjutsu and be a Medical Ninja."
Ryu suddenly chuckled, looking at everyone as he said "But you all think Medical Ninja are weak and useless, right?" all the Genin looked away, but didn't retort. Ryu waved his hand, sighing "This is why you all think that everyone can be happy and friendly."
He pointed a finger to the air, smiling "Listen, there's no trash Jutsu, only trash ninja. A Medical Ninja's Chakra Scalpel can also be used as a knife! The control required is immense, but it can be done!" he pointed at Rock Lee, adding "Let's say if Lee could use the Chakra Scalpel on his feet as he kicked at you with his immense physical strength, what would happen to your body?"
The Genin all froze and looked at Ryu with pale faces.
Anko's eyes lit up and she said "How creative!" Naruto scratched his head and squinted "So Medical Ninjas are super strong?" Ryu smacked his head and grit his teeth, "I'm so smart, why are you so dumb?!"
Naruto held his head and shouted "OUCH!"
Ryu explained, "Although it is difficult, you could theoretically dice the enemy's heart with a Chakra Scalpel without even leaving a wound on their bodies. Sounds fun, right?" as he threw a Dango in the air and it fell into his open mouth.
The Genin were stunned and Naruto asked in shock "Is that true!?" Kakashi suddenly appeared, saying "Theoretically. It is possible but the amount of precise control is immense."
Ryu turned back to the fights and chuckled "Perhaps."
Everyone turned back and started watching the fights again.
Until Hinata and Neji went up.
