Ryuujin stood there in his Dragon stance and electricity charged around him and whenever a small bolt zapped across his face it revealed his cold determined eye's that showed he was willing to kill him on his own.
"You won't win this little dragon, no matter who or what power you have I am claiming your head today." Shinigami looking to his blade seeing soaked in blood just laying there, he needed to find a way to it so he could chop Ryuu down.
Ryuu lowered out of his stance and stood there and slowly began to walk towards Shinigami. Shin was quickly on his guard while Ryuu approached, "I will not die here Shinigami, I will revive the once respected name of the Ryuu clan, the Kaiser name will live on through the generations." His speed of walking picked up, "I will not allow you to take away my birthright to this clan!"
Ryuu rushed forward and slid in low and rose his foot up and connected to Shin's jaw sending him into the air, Ryuu jumped and again he kicked and right into Shinigami's stomach and with that force sent him colliding down to the ground. Ryuu landed at his feet and grabbed him by his ankle, lifting he slammed his enemy Shinigami into the wall in one fluent motion. Ryuu in an instant put his body in front of Shins thrusting his fist right into his chest and allowed him to fall to the ground.
The dragon knelt down and lifted his opponent up and tossed him out to the center in front of everyone. Kuniko held her hands together looking a bit fearful, "I-i-is that really…Ryuu?" she asked in a shaken tone.
"Dayu…Tell me!" she said pleading now looking to him for an answer.
But he just sighed looking down, "Kuniko-chan I can't say…we will just have to wait and see…"
Ryuu walked out and around his hand electricity charged brightly. "It will end for you Shinigami…not for me but for you!"
"R-ryuu-kun…" The shy voice of Hinata spoke as she watched on.
Kiba caught her words, "Eh…hey Hinata you know that guy?"
Hinata looked a little surprised that he heard her but she slowly nodded her head, "How is that so? That guy is from that place Shadow how did you meet him?" Kiba asked a bit suspiciously.
Sasuke watched this fight, knowing now it was Ryuu that belittled him in front of his team. He clenched his fist's together he himself wanted to make up for what happened showing he isn't such a push over.
Naruto looked amazed as Ryuu displayed such power to throw around someone like that. He was also a bit shocked to see Ryuu slightly transformed being no longer himself, he just watched and only wondered how he could stand against him now.
Amatsu had a large grin upon his face seeing how his brother was fighting and as he did a sudden twitch hit him as he sensed something and his grin died away. "Master what's the matter, no longer enjoying the fight?" Demin asked looking to Amatsu.
Amatsu shook his head, "No…its not that. Something is different in Ryuu….I don't know what it is….its like he isn't quite himself…a part of him….torn…" he looked quite angered but this feeling.
Orochimaru in his disguise looked over at Amatsu and he wasn't quite sure what he spoke of but it made him a little uneasy being so near him. 'I hope for my own sake he is not talking about the cursed seal on him…I can't have him interfering and…at this distance there is not much room for escaping…Amatsu would kill me with out even a second thought….and he has advanced…especially to create that thing beside him…' He thought a bit nervously of the sudden options before him.
"So…this is the dragon you fought Arcane? Hm I do believe you were lucky." Said Kyoushu seeing the battle a bit more.
Arcane gave an evil stare to his new master, "Luck had nothing to do with it."
Kyoushu chuckled lightly, "Look at that display of power down there, and that is simply his first form. As I witnessed the dragons have more greater forms, you are fast and good with a sword Arcane but if you face the one I hope to fight today I would suggest backing out, you might just lose more then your life."
His student Arcane now looked very insulted by this, "Don't doubt my abilities…you may have trained me but I will kill them with my sword."
Ryuu charged his lightning into his hand and rushed for Shin as he got to his feet again. Kakashi looked a bit surprised and turned to Shinja, "Is that?"
Shinja looked at him and shook his head, "No, that's not it Kakashi, calm down. Look he doesn't have the same speed require for your Raikiri or Chidori whatever the hell." He said waving his hand around not really caring.
Sasuke was listening and looked between them and was quite interested by this move mentioned if his sensei seemed worried about it being used. He just wondered if he could learn such a thing as his own kind of weapon.
Shinigami stood there and waited for Ryuu as he charged fast upon him. Just as he lunged to strike, Shin reached and quickly grabbed his opponent by the wrist and held him up, "Stupid little whelp, I have made a life to exterminate your kind do you think a novice such as yourself can really win?" he asked glaring up at him.
Ryuu now dangled there like a worm on a hook and he was silent. After a quick moment a devilish grin crossed his face, "Hm hm hm heh heh heh, baaka. What you think just by getting me by the wrist is going to stop me? You pathetic retched fool try as you might…" Ryuu raised his head and looked down upon Shinigami with maddening eyes, "YOU WILL NOT KILL THE DRAGON KING!"
Shins eyes narrowed and he dropped Ryuu and punched him with great force sending him back tumbling and stopped on his back. He laid there silent until a demented laugh filled the room, it sent a chill down Kuniko's spine never hearing such a thing from her friend. Amatsu looked a bit shocked himself, his little brother, doing something that he himself might do during a fight. He knew now there was something wrong with Ryuu.
The dragon slayer moved quickly and grabbed his fallen sword and ran quickly towards Ryuu. He brought the sword up and swung down at his body, "DIE!" he yelled and brought to sword down upon the body of the young dragon boy.
The cling of metal with the floor was heard and he stood there and below was simply nothing, "What?"
Ryuu then emerged from the shadows from under the rafters near his friends and he stepped back out, "HAA HAA HAA! Moron...Thinking you can defeat me so easily? Here you call me the stupid one…Heh heh I think someone is a little confused." He grinned as he held his dragon clawed hand up and formed it into a ball and then back out to normal, "Lets see how well these claws work." He said in a deep dark tone.
"BRING IT!" Shinigami yelled as he charged towards Ryuu.
With a smirk Ryuu formed the seals, "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)." He said calmly but still with a devious grin.
Shinigami now found himself surrounded by fifteen Ryuu's all with the same look of just that evil grin and his eyes they still could not see.
"Prepare yourself Shinigami, you might not like what is going to happen to you." All the clones spoke in such a tone that even made Amatsu begin to wonder if that was his brother down on the floor fighting.
"Here I thought you were the only evil psycho one here Amatsu, hm guess your brother is fallowing along with you." Asura said with a slight grin.
Amatsu looked at him and it was not an understanding one of his joking matter and Asura could tell he would rip his throat out if he felt it necessary and he quickly lost the grin and went back to the match.
All the clones dashed towards Shinigami and their power and might was a bit much for him to handle as he defended against them. They all struck from different directions, and they made past him and a few clawed at his back and his chest and legs. With a fury Shin continued to fight at the clones and Ryuu.
Kuniko began to cling onto Dayu in fear of Ryuu, "What has he become Dayu-kun?" she asked with a terrified voice.
Dayu didn't want to admit to what Shinja warned him about, this truly did not seem like Ryuu, he was never this vicious before. "Kuniko don't let this change your view of Ryuujin remember a lot has gone on he has been through quite a bit over time just try and not worry to much." He said softly to her as he placed his arm around her to help comfort her and so she wouldn't be so fearful.
Amatsu looked across the way and saw Dayu and Kuniko and saw the girls face how she looked all because of a slight change in his little brother. He crossed his arms over each other and sighed to himself, 'All because of something small fear is spread so easily in a supposed friend that you think you can trust…'
Kareru examined everything that was going on seeing what he was capable of so far, 'Hm seems the dragon boy has changed significantly since he first fought those two.' She looked over at Arcane and Sierra, 'especially then the match with just that swordsman his power has grown…this will be quite interesting. The boss will be grateful to know of these developments…'
Shinigami set his sword down on the ground and rested on the hilt breathing heavily, his body full of claw marks his shirt torn and blood stained it as well as his pants. "You damn monster…" he growled as he stood there resting.
This struck a cord with four people in the room and Ryuu stood there alone again his clones disappeared. "You think I am a monster? You wish to see a monster Shinigami? Do you? Because…if that's what you want I can more then gladly give that to you…."
Naruto sat on the floor and slightly hugged the railing a bit, that word never set well with him. 'People always using that word simply because they don't want to understand us…make it easy for them to use that….'
Sakura looked down at Naruto and was a bit confused, "Nuh? Naruto you okay?" she asked curiously.
Naruto looked up at her a bit sad for a moment and then faked a smile and nodded, "Yeah, Im fine Sakura-chan!" he said returning his glance back to the arena floor.
The red headed sand nin glared at the floor, Gaara knew the power of that word once when he was a child but now used it to fuel himself on and on. Amatsu looked down with murderous eyes, they where all linked in the use of the word "monster" they knew what people where getting at when they used it against them. They knew the sheep of society didn't even acknowledge them as human beings never had just saw them as little beasts, the monsters of their village.
Ryuu let out a loud growl and gripped his head now breathing quite heavily, "You…will see a monster…Shinigami…I WILL SHOW YOU THE MONSTER WITHIN!"
In a great rage Ryuu roared and his hood fell off and his hair grew to his shoulders as he looked up at the ceiling still roaring. His back part of his jacket ripped open and his dragon wings grew out slowly and his scales grew over them. Below a tail grew out and his nails extended and grew sharper then before while his scales got stronger in defence.
Ryuu was in his third transformation now as he had sharp deadly eyes that now glared at Shinigami and he breathed slowly. Everyone looked shocked and some in a bit horrified by the power they felt and only a few where interested.
"Damnit…you freak of nature…fine…I dare you…to try." Shinigami though very injured wasn't going to quite yet.
Ryuu's eyes where now cold determined more then ever and weren't going to mess around anymore. They narrowed upon Shin as he skidded the blade across the floor and sparks flew around as he brought the blade behind him. Ryuu formed his right hand in an open form his fingers pointing up and by his side while his left hand was up and flat and if needed to block whatever attack came at him. Lightning charged into his right hand.
"But now…Ryuu-kun is different…something has changed him…he seemed very very kind when he and I talked, nothing like this." Said Hinata as she spoke to her teammates after she explained how she knew Ryuu so they to would know a bit about the Shadow shinobi.
Her teammate Kiba turned to the arena and had his partner his white little dog Akamaru sniff in to the air and when done he barked up at him, "Hinata, you're right there is something different Akamaru can smell a difference in his sent much different then before." He said as he still looked at the arena floor.
Hinata nodded, "Yes, I thought as much…I just wonder what has changed him..." she spoke in her usual quiet shy voice.
Shin pushed off and he charged towards the lightning dragon and readied his sword as he quickly approached. Ryuu with his left hand up charged with electricity as well, he knew his attack wasn't going to be ready not now at least. Ryuu looked at the man with his dragon eyes and waited for his attack. Finally Shinigami was there and he thrust his sword up towards Ryuu's face.
He easily moved his head to the right and the blade nicked the side of his face with a bit of blood flying through the air and some trickling down his cheek. Ryuu then moved quickly and maneuvered low and threw his open palm into Shinigami's chest and hit him back.
Shinigami's eyes grew a bit wide from the hit and then felt the great jolt of electricity course through his body and he nearly fell back to the ground if it wasn't for his sword. Ryuu looked to his right hand and smirked now as he now rushed Shinigami.
"RAITONINGURYUU (Lightning Dragon)!" Ryuu yelled as he stopped dead infront of Shinigami and threw his hand forward.
For a slow moment it surged around his hand and finally the head of a dragon made of electricity emerged out. The Dragon shot out and collided into Shinigami's stomach, his eyes where as wide as humans could be as he now felt the attack begin to pierce into his stomach. The sinister grin appeared back on Ryuu's face as he directed the attack up into the air and Shinigami fell back to the ground.
The lightning dragon formed up into the air and the blood from Shinigami was singed away and it coiled like a snake up in the air for everyone to see. The dragon then flew back down and the mass of electricity went back into Ryuu's body as he let out an almost seeming agonizing yell.
Everyone watched a bit worried now of what he may do next. Naruto was still sitting where he was before and watched everything Ryuu did. He gripped the railing slightly, 'What happened to you? Such a change…what happened?' the blond haired shinobi wondered curiously as he finally began to sit up knowing the fight was over.
Sasuke looked at Naruto now, 'Hm…wonder why the dobe is so upset?'
Kakashi looked to Shinja again, "Seems you have trained the boy well."
Shinja observed below, "I trained him yes, but never was he like that, when he has used that attack it was never up close always at a distance…something bad might happen today…Dayu…get ready."
Dayu who was trying to help comfort his friend Kuniko looked shocked at Shinja but sighed and nodded his head, "Yes sensei." He said as he moved to the railing and activated his Sharingan.
Naruto looked at them a little worried, "Hey whats going on what are you going to do Dayu-san?" he asked looking between them.
Ryuu was slouched over for a minute or so trying to catch his breath from what he just did. Gekkou Hayate coughed into his hand, "Winner, Kaiser Ryuujin."
As that was said Ryuu stood up again, the looked of dementia was back and he was still in his second form as he stalked over to Shinigami. The supposed Ryuu Sureiya(Dragon Slayer) was now helpless and defeated with a massive wound upon his stomach. He lay there and coughed blood over his mouth and onto his chin, "Damnit…I can't believe….this happened!" he groaned in great pain.
Ryuu stood right over him, "Seems your mission is a failure…Shinigami!"
Shinigami looked up at him a bit horrified, "Wh-who the hell are you?" he questioned as he tried crawling away from him.
The grin of Ryuu's lost sanity grew and he walked up and stepped above Shinigami and he pulled out a couple of kunai and planted each one into his hands and pinned them to the floor so he could not move. "Today Shinigami you are no longer the God of Death. I am." He said deeply as his clawed hand was raised.
Ryuu took a step back and looked at the massive wound in Shinigami's stomach and he raised his right hand and slammed it down upon his wound. Shin let out a horrifying scream of pain that made Kuniko and Hinata cover their ears. Cory couldn't believe this, what was going on, she couldn't figure It out. The sweet child she knew was now murderer and looked as if he was enjoying every minute of this mans pain.
'Ryuu…I know this man has done wrong…but what has come over you? Why are you doing these things?' Cory wondered as she stood there and closed her eyes hoping for this to end.
Shin now died with a gurgling sound of blood caught in his throat and Ryuu stood there holding his enemies intestines and tossed them down over the body. "HAA HAA HAA!" he let out a dark laugh as he stood there with his face now splattered in blood his clawed hand covered in blood.
"Dayu go now." Shinja said simply.
Dayu just got his foot on the railing when he saw Amatsu was already down there. Ryuu turned to the long black haired shinobi of Shadow. "You Amatsu Mikaboshi!" Ryuu said in a deep tone.
Amatsu was simply taking steps towards his brother. Ryuu readied and then ran at Amatsu with his clawed hands at his sides, "DIE!" he yelled as he went to slash Amatsu.
The dark dragon sighed in irritation and simply put his hand up with his two fingers pointing out and when Ryuu got to him, he hit him on the forehead with his two fingers. Ryuu's eyes widened and he stopped there, his mind was now flooded with a great deal of memories, his finally unlocked from his brain and Amatsu even showed him his past before he left Shadow Village.
Ryuu's eyes then softened and he was turning back to his normal self, he looked at his brother and he smiled as he stepped towards him, "Amatsu…Nii-san…" Ryuu setting a quick hand on his brothers shoulder but he fell to his knee's.
Amatsu glanced at his brother and knelt to the side of him. Kuniko looked a bit shocked as she heard that, "They….are brothers? Shinja-sama did you know this?" she asked curiously.
Shinja sighed and nodded, "I did, so did Cory-chan here."
The long pink haired Kunoichi of Shadow sighed heavily, "I did also know…"
The young boy in the ring suddenly felt a bit of happiness over flow him, knowing what had once been. Then, he saw Shinigami, his ripped apart body, he freaked out completely. "NOO! WHAT HAVE I DONE?" Ryuu intended to hurt Shinigami but not in such a brutal way.
He fell back on his butt and pushed himself away screaming as he saw the corpse, "AAHHH! NOOOO!" he yelled as he held his hand sitting back on his knee's.
"WHY? DAMN YOU KAGERYUU! DAMN YOU!" he yelled as he then pulled his head back and slammed it hard into the floor. "DAMN YOU!" he yelled again slamming his forehead straight to the floor.
Amatsu looked surprised at what his brother was doing, how badly this was affecting him. Kuniko gasped and so did Hinata as they both saw the display of Ryuu's madness over taking him, what he felt for killing another in such a away. He gave into his darkness, it won him and did what he would never truly want to do. Were Ryuu was hitting his head blood formed on the spot and dripped down his forehead.
Tears burned in Ryuu's eyes as he sat there and finally Amatsu stopped his brother, "Hey...its okay Ryuu calm down." He said setting a hand on his shoulder and then the red haired Shinobi fell forward and was now fast asleep.
"Hmph…what a weakling." Gaara snipped but was quite interested in that battle, and the viciousness especially all the blood and gore.
The medical nin's rushed out a group to collect the corpse and another to get Ryuu. But Amatsu interfered, "Back off, I will take care of him." He said scooping his brother up and saw where Shinja and the others where and fell into the shadows and appeared near the group.
Asura sighed rubbing his forehead as he and Demin both leaped down and then up to where Amatsu was. The dark Shinobi set his brother against the wall, "He will be asleep for awhile." He informed the others.
Naruto looked at Ryuu sadly he knew it must have been hard to know what he did, seeing what he had done. Naruto hasn't taken a life and he himself wasn't sure how he would handle it either. Dayu looked at his friend and slightly glared at Shinja, seeing how he just reacted he didn't understand how Ryuu could become what Shinja fears.
