Ryu was sitting on a bench by the dango shop, eating the brand new Super Ultra Alpha Omega Ultimate Sweetness Overload Chocolate Vanilla Redbean Caramel Paste Mochi Dango with Caramelized Apple Mango Strawberry Glaze and sprinkles!
Of course, the Dango Shop the Ryu frequents was renovated a long time ago! It was a big shop now!
The owner was a kind middle aged lady. How she kept coming up with brand new Dangos was beyond Ryu's understanding.
All he knew was that they were delicious!
As he was enjoying bliss, he saw Sakura walking around like a Zombie…
He stuffed his face with a dango, looking at her. He threw a toothpick and hit her in the head, making her turn her head to him.
Ryu waved her over and she walked over slowly, he rubbed her head and smiled "What are you walking like a zombie for?" Sakura replied sadly, "Sa-Sasuke…" Ryu rolled his eyes and knocked on her massive forehead, "Can you do anything even if Sasuke was back?"
He shook his head and rubbed a toothpick in between his teeth, smiling "Silly girl. Sasuke is training, Naruto is training, and you're walking around like a zombie. What are you doing?"
He seemed to struggle for a moment, finally after hesitating for a long time, he split a Dango in half and handed her the half, saying with heartache, "Have this…" Sakura looked at the half dango and slowly put it in her mouth, sitting on the bench next to him, chewing slowly.
She licked her fingers and Ryu pulled his bag away from her slightly, saying "I gave you half, okay? Too much sweets is bad for you." Sakura looked at him, saying "Can you train me, Sensei?" Ryu frowned at her, saying "Actually, your secondary talent is Taijutsu because of your strange innate strength, but your primary talent is in Medical Ninjutsu."
Sakura's eyes dimmed and Ryu ruffled her hair, saying "Well, don't be too sad. I have good things for you." Sakura's eyes lit up and she said excitedly "Really!?" Ryu nodded "Of course! I modified a Taijutsu specifically for you, I guess Tsunade is suitable for it too. As well as multiple other techniques that can make you a really strong person. But you have to remember, I'm a Taijutsu expert. My Chakra Nature is only flames so I can't teach you Medical Ninjutsu."
He paused and rubbed his chin, muttering "If you can learn Medical Ninjutsu from Tsunade while training with everything I gave you, most likely you'll be the most deadly Medical Ninja there ever was…"
Then he sighed and lamented, "Unfortunately, Hokuto Shinsen is perfect for you, alas…" Sakura asked "Hokuto Shinsen? Sound's powerful!"
Ryu raised a finger and smiled, "Very powerful! Fights with acupoints to make the opponent explode from the inside out, before they even knew it, they were dead. The most famous explanation for this technique is 'You are already dead.'! But this is way too bloody for you, most of the moves focus on killing in very bloody ways, like stabbing through the opponent's forehead, leaving them with 3 seconds to die, blowing up their arms into a rain of blood, etc."
He rubbed her hair and pulled her close, rubbing his knuckles on top of her head as he laughed "Stupid kid, I can give you the tools, you have to use them effectively by yourself." Sakura screamed "Ow! I get it! Ouch!"
Ryu let her go and she held her head, glaring at him bitterly. Ryu smiled gently "Feel better?" Sakura blinked before smiling softly, "Mm… Thank you, sensei." Ryu got up and stretched his back, smiling "Come on, I'll give you the training Materials. Then I have to give you a few scrolls…" as he walked away, humming to himself.
Sakura smiled sweetly at his back and caught up with him, walking next to him with her hands behind her back, chatting with Ryu happily.
They got to Ryu's home and Ryu brought out a bundle of books on a string, handing them to Sakura, explaining "The Taijutsu is for you. The two under are supplementary techniques for you."
He pulled out 2 scrolls and smiled "These are for Tsunade. Go bring these to her and ask her to take you as an apprentice." Sakura looked at the Taijutsu, muttering "Full Contact Prison Gate?" then looked up at Ryu, who smiled proudly "Such a great name! Heh, I'm truly a genius! You know how strong this technique is? Definitely top 5 in all of Konoha!"
Ryu demonstrated, punching the air as he said "Your punches carry a momentum that resembles a glowing ball on your fist. The principle is to hit the opponent with your entire fist surface, with all the power concentrated into the hitting area. If you do it correctly…"
He took a deep breath and punched at the sky.
Sakura looked up and sucked in a cold breath!
There was hole in the clouds above!
Ryu smiled and put his hands on his hips. It was easy to create techniques with Sasuke there last night. Many techniques were created, improved and optimized. Even his own Burning Hell was improved drastically!
It was all in one night, Ryu was a little unbelievable but proud that he raised such a good son!
He almost wanted to laugh 'Gurararara' out loud!
The Full Contact Prison Gate technique had many elements from different fighting styles, in the end Ryu added a bit of a Whitebeard flavor into it. Although there was no shock fruit, if you had enough control to vibrate your fist while punching, you could achieve a similar effect.
If Ryu punched the ground just now, his house along with half the neighborhood would be gone!
And this was just a casual punch!
Ryu pointed out a few specifics for Sakura, saying that he wrote his own notes in the Taijutsu to help her when she was alone but if she still had questions, she could come to him for advice.
Sakura smiled sweetly and left while humming to herself, prepared to throw herself into intense training.
Ryu let out a breath and smiled, now that Observation and Armament Haki training Manuals were given to Tsunade, the only thing left was to give the new and improved techniques to his friends and disciples.
He trotted through the village, finding Guy and Rock Lee. He gave them the Haki manuals and the improved Renewal Taekwondo, as well as all the other Taijutsu Techniques.
Ryu knew Guy better than Guy knew Guy! If he gave him everything, Guy would come up with something crazy good! Lee was also a genius, he could come up with great things just as well, so Ryu gave them everything.
The result was…
Guy and Lee group hugged Ryu, bursting into tears as they thanked him.
Except Ryu wasn't disgusted at all and laughed, hugging them back as he said "I hope you guys can become stronger!" Guy gave him a thumbs up and a twinkle, replying firmly "Don't worry, my second rival! We won't disappoint you!"
Lee mimicked Guy with the same twinkle, saying loudly "I love you!" Guy smacked him and shouted "You're supposed to say, 'Don't worry, I won't disappoint you!'" Lee bowed and apologized, "I was too excited!"
Ryu laughed and patted Lee's head, saying seriously "Lee." Lee looked up and Guy's smile was gone, Ryu said very seriously "I don't want you to use 6 King Gun anymore."
Lee was stunned and Guy agreed, nodding "I agree, Lee. That Technique is too dangerous for you now. Your body can't handle the stress created during the emission. You were almost crippled for life. If it wasn't for Ryu going to find those Magic Beans then you'd never be a ninja again!"
Lee clenched his fists and looked down, Ryu sighed and smiled, "Lee, I understand you want to prove yourself, but you have to live to do that right? Which is why you should double your training so that you can use 6 King Gun as soon as possible, right?!"
Lee looked up as Ryu and Guy made the same pose, except the twinkle on Ryu's mouth was slightly smaller.
Lee cried up and cheered "I will triple my training from now on! That's a promise!"
Ryu smiled and slapped Guy's shoulder, sighing "What a good disciple." Guy wiped his tears and said happily "He's my favorite. Almost like…" he paused and just smiled. Ryu looked at Guy and smiled "I know how you feel, Guy." Guy smiled at him and left with Lee, "Let's go Lee! 1000 Laps as a warm up!"
Lee cheered, "Yes, Sensei!" as they ran off.
Ryu watched them go and smiled before walking away.
