His sword struck diagonally upright. Lophin came down along the same route, minus a few degrees. He followed the sword's natural course into a full spin and a horizontal slash. From this he did an inverted slash diagonally upright, breaking the blade off in Kaiser.
"Idiot, your sword's useless now!" However, the swordsman still completed his dodge spin jump and charged it into Kaiser's ribcage, afterwards breaking the sword once more along the hilt with his hand. He smashed the hilt into Kaiser's face, letting the skull splinter, the nose rupture, and the eyes drown in blood. The same wounds appeared on Lophin's own person, as Kaiser attempted a counter punch. This too was dodged with a jump away; however, Kaiser achieved a direct hit to the demon's chest with a Chidori.
This did not stop Lophin, who quickly regained composure and evaded his ensuing combo. The knee, which would start his pursuer's next combo, did make contact with his abdomen, and Lophin then received a double fist across the face, flying away and crashing into the ground. Upon impact Lophin's body bounced and continued its roll until it came to rest with a broken neck and a shattered skull. The villain closed in with a spinning slide into a roundhouse kick, grabbing Lophin's hand as he flung away and using the natural force as a counter weight with which to try and rip it off.
Lophin effectively pulled away, leaving his arm attached but fleshless. He then punched the stunned emperor so hard that his fist exploded and his elbow broke from the recoil. Lophin returned his right arm's attack with his left's uppercut and then another right arm smash. This time Kaiser avoided the blow and ripped off Lophin's weakened forearm. However with shoulder still attached Lophin kick-jumped off of Kaiser and returned the favor with a Rasengan.
Lophin began to gather chakra in the shape of his arm and feigned another charge attack, rolling just before and screaming the words, "Chakra Conversion, Fire Style, Flamethrower!" His chakra arm erupted into flames and successfully melted most of his adversary's skin. Kaiser caught Lophin unaware with a downward double-fist strike, proceeding with an upper one to knock his opponent in the air. Kaiser did a roundhouse kick to toss Lophin like a rag doll and higher into the air, kicking him again upon Lophin's return trip.
Lophin was now again the body bouncing in the distance.
Our protagonist recovered using a back roll while performing hand-signs. However, when he was upright once more his jutsu was erupted and Lophin had to use his left arm to block Kaiser's chakra blast. While in the blast's shadow, Kaiser used his reflection ability so that he would recover most of his wounds, in turn his real body losing both layers of its skin. This blast also repaired the summoning seal on Lophin's left arm, letting him reclaim access to his experimental dragon lost long ago. He revived the beast and then thrust his arm into its skin, letting his chakra bind their life forces. Lophin's arm became the body of the dragon without limbs or wings. Lophin began to crush his adversary in between its jaws.
The battle looked in favor of our hero, until Kaiser used most of his remaining chakra to use his reflection ability once more, peeling away everything until the real Kaiser was only bone. Kaiser used his own dragon arm to pull Lophin's head up, so that his opponent's spine was actually lifted from inside the combatant's body. Lophin let his arm revert back to chakra and used most of it to heal this wound. Afterwards, he put the rest of it into shaping the dragon's life force into wings on his back. Lophin leap kicked Kaiser, knocking the man backwards. Lophin then flew forward and secured both of his feet around Kaiser's neck, spinning and flailing the body onto the ground repeatedly until the leg-lock loosed.
After he had recovered, Kaiser grabbed Lophin's now normal left arm with his own dragon one, attempting to rip off another limb. Instead, Lophin charged his dragon's remaining life force into his left arm until it exploded, taking Kaiser's along with it. Kaiser used the recoil to use his reflection jutsu once more, becoming nothing but bone marrow. Then he increased the power to his seal and used his emergency jutsu while throwing a kunai into and through Lophin's heart.
Lophin flew over to his enemy and flipped him over onto his stomach using only one foot, and then chakra stomped onto Kaiser's back. "I will not lose!" he screamed to himself."Reflection Seal Level 2 Jutsu, Cloning!" Kaiser's body now actually became an exact replica of Lophin's, wounds that he couldn't heal included--Kaiser healed all of his wounds except for the gashes. Their one difference was that Lophin was out of chakra, whereas Kaiser still had some to spare. Kaiser flipped around and kicked Lophin away while using his own head to lift himself up off of the ground.
Kaiser's sight was already beginning to become affected due to blood loss. "I will have to finish this then," Kaiser told himself. "Acupuncture!" Simultaneously needles formed out of chakra began burrowing into every viable square inch on his body. "Inverted Pendulum!" Instead of suspending like normally, the needles became enveloped in a chakra shield that would prevent the user from being harmed by the needle's rotations. "Turbulence!" The needles on Kaiser began to spin with Kaiser himself pouring chakra into them until the metal melted and gave way to white-hot flame.
The antagonist could feel his surroundings take on a tilting motion as he started his wild charge, screaming his battle cry at the top of his lungs. Lophin had no way to guard against an attack and so felt the needles breach his dermis as Kaiser literally hugged him. "Try getting away now! Porcupine!" The last move Kaiser would ever make shifted all the needle's positions until they were aimed directly at Lophin and then released them. Lophin yanked off his body parts from his now deceased enemy and tried in vain to dodge the needles. He succeeded in evading the first few. However, every time he was able to avoid four or five of them a needle hit him. He was then hit by a succession of approximately twenty needles, making it harder and harder to recover after each blow.
Eventually the plague of needles dissipated and Lophin was left lying across Kaiser's corpse.
After hearing the news, Karin arrived to clarify it as well as pilfer any lost items. Along with a dead Kaiser, she discovered a trail of blood leading into the nearby forest. Assuming that Lophin had already died, she stooped down to transfer Kaiser's seal onto her body.
"Don't be such a bitch," she heard as the needles were jabbed through her neck and skull.
Lophin ripped off the seal himself as a trophy and then headed back towards Konoha in complete silence.
