Yushiro holds out his duel disk with a confident, yet slightly forced smirk. He can feel his injury from his duel with Kenjuro slightly acting up. He is no medical professional after all. "Well then Saki Tsuchiyama! Give me your all! My monsters are prepared! As am I!"
"I will! It is my turn!" She seems to have almost completely forgotten about the pain from Yushiro's attacks as she swings her sword. "I already know the top card of my deck. The top two cards even! From my counterattack during your previous assault! And when I draw them! FIRST!" She swings her blade firmly. "Shinobeast: Wolf-fang!" In a cloud of smoke, her bandana-clad wolf with a sword attached to its side appears and howls. (WIND / level: 4 / beast / effect / ATK: 1600 / DEF: 800)
"SECOND! Shinobeast: Bear-claw!" She declares swinging her sword against this time from down and up in a one-two hit combination move. "In order to call it forth when drawn I must tribute a fellow shinobi! I tribute serpent-venom!" (WIND / level: 6 / beast / effect / ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1200) The ninja snake gets swallowed up in a large gust of wind and replacing it is a giant bear, standing on its hindlegs it's fur brown and bloodied, with a bandana around its neck, and giant swords on its claws, jagged and bloodied as well. She spins around swinging her blade elegantly and adds the card to her hand. "How is this for my fullest!?" (Saki hand: 4)
Yushiro looks the two monsters over smirking. "Building a formation of monsters during your draw? Impressive,"
Saki gets a little excited to get compliments but gets serious again. "I will be victorious! I activate Shinobeast Jutsu: Summoning! With this, I can combine monsters on my field into one entity! I combine my two shinobeasts!" Two large kanji circles appear behind them, wrapping themselves around the two monsters like a tattoo and their bodies begin contorting flowing together into one, which is enveloped in a large sphere made of various scrolls. "Appear formerly wild leader of the bestial shinobi! Prove to man itself that you too hold great honor and uphold it! BONDING SUMMON!" The sphere breaks apart as something seems to grow inside it until it bursts to reveal a giant ape, easily outdoing Yushiro's Haipa. A very stern face, clearly old as its fur has begun greying out. It's wearing a large yukata decorated with little painted gusts of wind on it. It's missing an eye and on its back, it has a massive katana. "Dai-shinobeast: Gorilla-blade!" (WIND / level: 7 / beast-warrior / fusion effect / ATK: 3000 / DEF: 1500)
Yushiro stands firm feeling the wind from this monster. "A formidable foe..."
"Gorilla-blade's Jutsu! With its combination being successful, I may choose two shinobeasts from my cemetery and place them atop my deck! I place eagle-talon and wolf-fang! Now Gorilla-blade! Engage Burei!" The large gorilla stands huffing as it suddenly almost warps forward at insane speed drawing its sword and ramming it over Yushiro's shogun who has no time at all to react, getting sliced in half within a single second. (Yushiro LP: 2800) "Once per turn, when gorilla-blade destroys a monster by battle I am allowed to send the top card of my deck to the graveyard and if it was a shinobeast he can attack once more! I know my top card is shinobeast: Eagle-talon! Go once more gorilla-blade! Attack Haipa!" Without flinching from its last attack it spins hammering Haipa with its giant fist sending it flying into the wall and breaking it apart. "Gorilla-blade deals piercing damage when battling defense position monsters!" The large gorilla punches Yushiro and while he got his hand and blade up to block he gets flung back, out through the locked door. (Yushiro LP: 900) As he lands and recovers with a simple roll he grabs at his side… his wound has opened again.
"Saki!" Kazoki yells angrily. "My house does not need to be destroyed by this fight!"
Saki jumps as if she'd almost forgotten that he was there. "Y-yessir! My apologies! He is quite formidable!" She says as Gorilla-blade jumps back to her side. "I conclude my attack," (Saki hand: 3)
Yushiro gets back up trying to casually walk past the two guards out front, but he's beginning to pant a little from exhaustion. "Impressive strike," he coughs a bit of blood up spitting it to the floor. "I expected nothing less from a shinobi. Even if you are still in training. Now… let me show you mine as well! Draw!" (Yushiro hand: 3) He looks back at the magic card he drew last turn. "Now I need this it would seem! But first I will bring forth my most trusted merchant! Karakuri merchant mdl 177 "Inashichi"!" His familiar merchant appears on the field spinning to him opening one of its cases, revealing a card. (EARTH / level: 2 / machine / effect / ATK: 500 / DEF: 1500)
"With his summon, I add karakuri ninja mdl 224 "Ninishi" to my hand. Then I will use THIS! Karakuri combination!" Yushiro holds up his hand and it gets covered in kanji symbols. "With this, I too, am allowed to combine my monsters! For this particular monster, I need 2 karakuri monsters, one of which MUST be on the field! I combine my Inashichi, and from my hand karakuri Komachi mdl 224 "Ninishi"!" His 'female' karakuri appears he throws his hand and the kanji shoots off forming a circle around each monster, wrapping around them as it did with Saki, however, unlike her monsters Yushiro's monsters all seem to disassemble as they are contorted and move closer to each other, getting wrapped in the paper sphere. Yushiro claps his hands together, closing his eyes.
"Great general of an endless army of machines… descend onto my battlefield, and we will achieve victory!" He claps twice his eyes shooting open making Saki take a step back seeing his piercing green eye staring at her. "BONDING SUMMON!" The sphere is broken apart when a giant spear pierces it, the head of said spear having a straight blade and a smaller side-blade on one side, followed by a long rod and it spins around the whole sphere breaking it open, revealing a large wooden horse, with glowing green eyes, covered in black metal horse-armor. Atop the horse sits a karakuri humanoid robot, similar to Burei, except his armor is a lighter color. He stabs his giant spear into the floor and a flag dispenses from the side fluttering in the wind from Saki's monsters. "Karakuri mounted bushi mdl 459 "Shigoku"!" (EARTH / level: 7 / machine / fusion effect / ATK: 2600 / DEF: 1900)
"When he is called to the field, I may change the battle position of any of your monsters I choose. Additionally, I am allowed to special summon a karakuri monster from within my deck! I call forth a shinobi of my own! Karakuri ninja mdl 919 "Kuick"!" The large horse-rider waves the flag around as Yushiro's familiar slender ninja appears behind it. (EARTH / level: 4 / machine / effect / ATK: 1700 / DEF: 1500)
"Shigoku switches your gorilla-blade to defensive position!" The horse rears back and the man on top roars into the room making the gorilla force itself into defensive position, holding its sword up. "Now go! Shigoku! Dispatch of her gorilla!" The man nods back at Yushiro who strikes at the air and the robot picks up its spear standing onto the horse as it charges forward. It tosses the spear at Saki's gorilla who blocks the throw, the humanoid robot jumps off the horse as the horse crashes into the gorilla, who uses its immense strength to block it, but right after he's stabbed in the back by the spear, which the humanoid part of the monster picked up. As the gorilla evaporates, the two monsters rejoin each other. "When he has done battle it switches battle position," The spear suddenly begins folding down into a smaller size as the man's body slightly contorts itself and the horse's back opens allowing him to fit inside his steed.
"Finish this showdown Kuick," His ninja lunges forward preparing to strike and Saki tries dodging when her injuries catch up with her and she gets cut by the robot, however, it's a lot shallower than it would be if Kuick attacked a monster. (Saki LP: 0) Yushiro bows politely as she falls forward. "Well fought, Saki Tsuchiyama. Fourth-grade Novice shinobi under Sensei Gamahi Rai. Do not go to your master with shame," He says as his monsters disappear and he looks up at the giant man who's remained mostly silent for this duel, ignoring his pain as good as he can, the blood beginning to show on his clothing.
"I have defeated your hired muscle, as well as the leader of your guard squad. So cease your assault on your citizens," He says when suddenly the man begins laughing loudly, stepping out from behind the curtain.
He is a bulky man, over a head taller than Yushiro, and incredibly muscular, long raven-black hair set in a ponytail like Yushiro's, only longer, wearing a very formal two-layered yukata, the top layer being red with stars while the one under is pure white. At his side, he has a very well-kept blade, with a red sheathe. "Do not fret, boy. I do not need to attack my village anymore. I believe I have found you. Oracle!" He declares kneeling as a side door opens up and a figure enters, Yushiro looking almost awkwardly at her as she takes her first steps into the room. It takes her almost 4 seconds to get far enough into the room for the guards to step in and close the door behind her.
"She is quite slow," Yushiro utters under his breath. The woman is tiny compared to both Kazoki and Yushiro, as well as the guards, even Saki. Almost only a single meter tall. She has an eye of glass, and a long staff, wearing a long robe, which must have been from her younger days as it drags along the floor behind her.
After she makes it to Kazoki, taking almost a full minute of walking to do so, Kazoki stands again. "You called?" She asks in her frail voice and Kazoki nods towards Yushiro. After looking over she starts trembling. "T-that eye… it is what I saw in… my vision. This man! You must destroy him, son. Or our village will be destroyed!" She says 'running' to the back of the room which takes a few seconds.
Yushiro raises an eyebrow. "Son? She is your mother?"
Kazoki tilts his head back. "Is that not obvious?" He draws his sword and it's almost double the length and thickness of Saki's katana.
"The resemblance is uncanny," Yushiro says gritting his teeth a little in pain. He DID just get punched through a wall and had his wound reopened. Kazoki jumps forward, both hands on his blade swinging it down at Yushiro who blocks it getting forced to his knees, receiving a knee right in his stomach getting sent flying again, this time continuing through the window. He manages to recover in the air and land on his feet rolling to disperse the fall, gritting his teeth.
"OUR RESEMBLANCE MATTERS NOT! If I were you, I would proceed to beg for your life rather than compare appearances!" Kazoki says standing on the small roof out the window while Yushiro is now in the garden. He raises his duel disk to Kazoki's sword. "SHOWDOWN!" (Yushiro: hand: 4 / LP: 3000 | Kazoki: Hand: 5 / LP: 4000)
