Ryu and Konan went to the hiding place at the top of the building, there he was surprised by the amount of things stolen, it was food, books, parchments, papers and boxes of varying sizes between small and medium.
"What's all this?"
"Weaponry in general, Kunais, Shurikens, some short swords and among others, Jutsus Scroll, Books to teach about Chakra, a box with clothes and fabrics that are great for body protection." He responded without hiding anything while pointing to the pile of each thing he mentioned.
Konan was in disbelief, how could a child achieve all this?
"As-"
"I stole, I learned Genjutsu and everything became easier."
The Genjutsu on this occasion was created by Ryu, inspired by an ability he saw in an anime, his name was Kyoka Suigetsu. This jutsu initially required its activation to look directly into Ryu's eyes, after completion, the person would be placed in a state of illusion where they would do whatever the user ordered, however it had two weaknesses, the time limit and if the user was touched, the jutsu would be undone.
It was an incomplete Genjutsu, Ryu still had to complete some things from the Genjutsu. But for now it was good."Incredible." Konan was amazed. But she noticed something. "Where's the food?"
Ryu smiled and grabbed a crowbar and opened a crate in front of several.
"Here."
Konan looked inside the crate, and there were several types of food inside, mainly fruits.
"The food that needs refrigeration is downstairs."
Konan looked at everything around her. 'Food, weapons, teaching. There's everything here, and that boy has it all to create a new world, a new beginning... Maybe he's telling the truth.'
"I'm going to start a group to reset this world, it's not time yet, so before that I have to become strong, very strong, and I also need companions and friends to trust." Said Ryu while looking at Konan. "I need you, please... Be my friend!"Bowing while raising his hand, Ryu left Konan even more astonished, why was he bowing? He was the one saving her, so why?
"Alright, I'll be your friend." Konan shook Ryu's hand, and made him look at her. Scarlet eyes met amber eyes and both glowed slightly under the other's gaze.
After a few seconds, Konan let go of Ryu's hand and the two began to do what they had to do. First, Konan was instructed by Ryu to train on Chakra and Jutsus using the books and scrolls he had there, and he took a giant paper and stuck it on the wall.
'Following the basics of computing, and using Cryptography and Programming Codes, this seal will be one of the best in the world.' Ryu grabbed a tube of paint and a brush. A few days ago, Ryu had read a Fuinjutsu scroll, and studied the basics of Seals and how they were made.The writings of the Seals were basically codes that operated and at the same time were the power of the paper involved in Chakra, these are never innovated, they are repetitions after repetitions, so Ryu decided to make a change, an innovation.
With his knowledge of computing, Cryptography and Programming Codes, he created the idea of a seal and wrote all the information on the seal on 48 sheets of A4, this was because the seal was too big, so much so that a giant piece of paper was needed that covered almost 50% of the wall.
'The information on the first prototype of the Seal of Protection of the Kingdoms of Samsara was extensive but not very efficient, in this second prototype I will use less extensive information and more Cryptography and Programming Codes, and I was also using Cryptography and Programming Codes to create two keys, maybe I'll create more later.' Ryu thought as he wrote information after information on the giant paper on the wall.
While training, Konan noticed that Ryu was writing on paper on the wall, but didn't ask anything and continued to train Chakra.After completing the seal, Ryu smiled and set the tube and brush aside.
'Well... Now comes the hand seals.'
Tiger → Horse → Dragon → Ram → Boar → Bird → Ox → Horse → Tiger.
"Protective Seal of the Realms of Samsara, Imprison!" Chakra rose like a flame in Ryu's palm.
Tapping the Kanji 無敵 of the seal, and a wave of chakra spread throughout the building they were in. Konan felt the wave of Chakra and looked at Ryu in confusion.
Noticing her gaze, Ryu looked at her with a smile.
"What you felt was the barrier of the Seal of Protection of the Realms of Samsara extending, now this building cannot be visible to anyone without the key, let alone enter without the key." Ryu spoke as he showed a mark on the palm of his hand that extended to the end of his forearm. "Of course that would apply to you, but I can give you the second key."Ryu approached her and held out his hand, Konan gave her hand and soon the same mark appeared in the same place as Ryu's.
"This makes it so that only you and I can enter, leave and see this place, it seems like a great start haha!" Ryu's white smile made Konan's heart skip a beat a little, she blushed a little and looked away.
The days went by, Konan was training along with Ryu's tips on the use of Chakra and Ninjutsu, since Konan was having some difficulties in training, Ryu did his best to help, and Konan, with the tips, managed to become a Advanced in the use of Chakra and Ninjutsu.
Afterwards, both Ryu and Konan began to practice Taijutsu together, taking advantage of the fact that he now had a training partner, Ryu specially trained the blows of various martial arts that he remembered, he also applied some of their concepts in his form of combat, how he uses blows with rotation, the objective of which is to defend against an attack, but without seriously hurting the enemy. He taught this to Konan so that he doesn't overuse his Ninjutsu.And the other month, Ryu helped Konan develop her own jutsu, in fact, she forged something quite impressive, by mixing her Doton, Futon and Suiton, a Kekkei Touta was created, the Paper Style or Kamineton.
Ryu was surprised, it made him think. Do you want that all this time, Konan's paper ability was a Kekkei Touta this whole time? In fact, it made a certain amount of sense. Both Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Touta were formations of jutsus that were a perfect mixture between elements, a form that is assumed when two elements or three manage to work perfectly well with each other.
So the existence of Kamineton made sense.
This made things more interesting for Ryu.
...
BOOM!
On top of a mountain, Ryu and Konan watched the Ninjas fight. They were adults, teenagers, children, they were all fighting among themselves, killing each other with kunais, swords, jutsus and so on, all of this caused a different look in Ryu.It was a look that possessed an immeasurable emptiness.
"That's..." Konan looked away, she couldn't bear to see that scene of death and war.
Ryu didn't protest against Konan looking away, he wanted to look away himself, but he didn't, he continued looking before turning to the blue girl.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want you to see that." Ryu said, approaching Konan and hugging her. "Deaths are not something everyone should see, especially now..."
Konan comforted herself a little in the scarlet-eyed young man's arms.
"It's okay, I just don't understand why we're here."
Boom!
A wave of smoke flew through the rain along with an explosion, and a giant salamander emerged from the smoke with a man on top of its head."For his sake, Hanzo of the Salamander." Ryu watched the leader of Amegakure with hatred and rancor. "We have to observe his abilities, after all we will remove him from power in the future."
Opposite Hanzo were the Three Legendary Sennins, Ryu observed everything and remembered something.
'Wait... I remember that, where is the...'
"HEY!"
Hearing a voice behind him, Ryu looked back with Konan and saw a boy with spiky orange hair and a boy with red hair.
'Ah... This bastard.' Finally remembering the history of Amegakure and Akatsuki, Ryu cursed his luck.
There he was, the creator of the original Akatsuki, Yahiko.
