Ryusui was born to a fun loving, crazy mother named Yotta Cereza, and because of this he got away with anything he wanted. On multiple occasions he would receive candy before meals, or new toys for the hell of it. Though this seemed like a blessing, it also came as a curse. There were multiple occasions in Ryu's early life where he would be rushed to the emergency rooms because of his mother's obsession with fire, and even sometimes out of neglect. He knew that his mother loved him, but sometimes it seemed as if she was mored worried about herself than him. On one occasion, when Ryu was five years old, his mother accidentally caught the entire house on fire because she was mad at some plants. This caused the boy to focus his strong and developing mind on Water Ninjutsu. This way he would be able to put out the fires that his mother caused. She had wanted the boy to practice fire with her, but he knew the devastating powers that came with it. Just like his mother's natural ability with fire, Ryu was able to pick up Water Ninjutsu as if it was nothing. Sometimes he believed that his father was a strong water ninja, and maybe he would be able to train under him, but until that day he would have to keep training to become stronger. By the time he was eight, the boy was able to use almost every Water Ninjutsu that he saw. This allowed the boy to become an equal rival with his mother and was able to stop any of her fire jutsus before they destroyed the house. By constantly sparring with a fire user, Ryu's water based Ninjutsu were often evaporated instantly and this allowed him to slowly learn mastery of the Vapor element as well. As the years passed, Ryu wondered why he wasn't getting any official training, and upon asking his mother, she realized that she forgot to sign him up for the academy when he was younger, and she was just now getting to it. He was ten years old, as strong as his Chuunin mom and was about to finally start the academy.
