Susanoo
Ryuu's Susanoo leapt into the air, flipping over Madara's and stabbing at his back. Madara spun, swiping the drill aside and stabbing at Ryuu. The sword smashed through Ryuu's Susanoo which faded instantly before Ryuu landed and reformed it, the Susanoo stabbing at Madara's Susanoo again. Madara's Susanoo spun, smashing the drill into pieces before Ryuu's Yasaka Magatama exploded against it, smashing it. Ryuu reformed his Susanoo's drill and leapt forward, stabbing at Madara. Madara flipped over the drill and then landed on it and leapt away, reforming his Susanoo, now at its complete stage. Ryuu progressed his own Susanoo, the Susanoo forming a pair of swords as Madara's did the same.
"I'll admit," Madara said. "Your Susanoo is actually quite strong. However, it's not nearly enough."
Ryuu swiped at Madara and Madara's Susanoo blocked the sword, both cracking. Then, Madara's Susanoo stabbed Ryuu's, smashing it. Ryuu flipped over the blade, landing beside it and glared up at Madara.
"Well I'll admit," Madara said. "You've got good reflexes. If only your Susanoo was stronger."
"I think I should show you the final gift that I got from Itachi," Ryuu said. "You're actually the first to see it. Even Sasuke doesn't know about my gift, or his own, yet."
"Gift?" Madara asked.
Ryuu reformed his Susanoo at its complete state and this time, the Susanoo's left hand formed a massive reddish-orange shield made of flames.
"The Yata Mirror," Madara said, recognizing it. "I see."
"Pretty soon Sasuke will realize he has the Totsuka Blade," Ryuu said. "Until then, it's about time you died."
His Susanoo formed its drill again and Madara's slashed at Ryuu's. Ryuu's Susanoo blocked the sword with the Yata Mirror, the blade sparking off of it with a massive crash. Then, Ryuu's Susanoo spun, driving the drill at Madara. Madara's Susanoo leapt back, landing on the top of the crater they were in before leaping back at Ryuu. Ryuu's Susanoo raised the Yata Mirror as Madara's Susanoo slashed with both swords. Then, the swords shattered against the mirror and Ryuu drove his drill into Madara's Susanoo. Madara began to leap over it but before he could, flames began to shoot off of the drill, filling what was left of the Susanoo with flames before the Susanoo vanished and the flames exploded outward.
"Shame it's not that easy," Ryuu growled as Madara began to regenerate.
"I see," Madara growled. "So, the Completed Susanoo is not a match for your Yata Mirror. Then I suppose you leave me with no choice. I'll have to use it."
Just as Madara reformed his Susanoo, a Wood Clone of Hashirama landed beside Ryuu.
"Oh no," Hashirama growled. "I was too late."
Then, Madara's Susanoo exploded upward, growing and transforming, Samurai armor forming on it with a gem on its forehead where Madara was floating, a long nose, and a pair of massive scaled wings with hands on the bottom holding a pair of gigantic katanas.
"It's...massive," Ryuu gaped, forming his Susanoo's legs and picking up Hashirama's clone, allowing Hashirama into the Susanoo, which only barely reached Madara's Susanoo's knee.
Madara's Susanoo drew its katana and slashed downward at Ryuu. Ryuu raised his Yata Mirror, the sword crashing into it and blasting Ryuu and his Susanoo into a crater but stopped against the shield. The force still blasted the area and caused an Earth Quake but failed to break through the Yata Mirror.
"Damn he's strong," Ryuu growled as Madara lifted his sword, allowing Ryuu to leap out of the crater.
His Susanoo landed on a boulder a ways away, watching Madara's as Madara's turned toward him.
"How do I fight something so massive?" Ryuu growled.
"Can you not progress your Susanoo to that form?" Hashirama's clone asked.
"Don't you think I would if I could," Ryuu growled. "This is the best I can do."
"I'll create you some help then," Hashirama stated, flying to the ground and forming hand seals, setting his hands flat on the ground. "Wood Style, Wood Golem Jutsu!"
A Wood Golem exploded out of the ground, much taller than Ryuu's Susanoo but still much smaller than Madara's Susanoo. The Susanoo slashed the Golem, splitting its torso, but roots grew out of the halves and reconnected them before the Golem grabbed the Susanoo. Ryuu's Susanoo opened its chest, chakra needles beginning to flood out at Madara's Susanoo but they shattered harmlessly against his Susanoo.
"Damn," Ryuu growled just as Madara's Susanoo split the Golem up the front, blasting it into splinters. "I was hoping to be able to break through if I applied a lot of force to point-point shots."
"It simply wasn't enough force, it seems," Hashirama's clone said.
"Yeah, Ryuu nodded. "Looks like I have to use that one then."
"What one?" Hashirama's clone asked.
"My most powerful ability," Ryuu said. "It rewrites reality as I see fit."
Ryuu held his hands out, forming one of his original Mangekyo Sharingan creations, this one being equal in size to Madara's Susanoo. It wielded the usual cleaver-style sword of Amaterasu and its power, Ryuu hoped, was the same as Madara's Susanoo.
"What is...that thing?" Hashirama's clone gaped. "Is...is that Genjutsu?"
"Kind of," Ryuu nodded. "It's special though."
"I told you my eyes are immune to Genjutsu," Madara called out. "Though I give you points for making me see this...thing."
Ryuu's creation pulled its arm back, growling, then slashing at the Susanoo. When his sword met the Susanoo's armor, a massive explosion shot off of the impact, swallowing them all in a cloud of dust, and a massive trail of dust shot out the far side of the cloud, tearing up the ground as it went. Hashirama's clone stared in shock.
"This...it's real," Hashirama's clone gaped. "What is that jutsus?"
"It's Genjutsu turned reality," Ryuu said. "Being able to see through Genjutsu won't save you from it."
Hashirama's clone nodded as the smoke began to clear. As it did, it revealed Ryuu's creation with its sword where its slash had ended. Far off in the distance, Madara's Susanoo stood, a large portion of its chest cracked but no serious damage.
"Impossible," Ryuu breathed. "It's still...Damn."
"So even that wasn't enough," Hashirama's clone mused. "Can you make it stronger?"
"No," Ryuu sighed, shaking his head. "There's a limit to what I can do with that ability. And using it puts an incredible strain on me. I went into a coma the first time I used it for an extended period. Then the second time I came close."
Ryuu's creation charged, raising its sword again. Then, Madara's Susanoo streaked forward, drawing and slashing its katana as it passed the creature, slitting it in two and making it fade.
"It was...a Genjutsu after all," Madara mused before looking down at the cracks, then around at the destruction the creature's attack had caused. "But it also wasn't. Genjutsu made reality."
Madara stared down at Ryuu as Ryuu stared up at him.
"You're the key," Madara said. "You can perform the jutsu without the Ten-tails."
"You mean the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Ryuu asked. "Why the Hell would I do that?"
"We have ways of making you," Madara said. "For now, it's time to end this fight."
With that, he flipped his katana over, stabbing down at Ryuu's Susanoo. Ryuu let it fade, he and Hashirama's clone scattering just before the blade crashed down, Ryuu appearing on the sword's buttcap in the time it took the sword to go from the top of Ryuu's Susanoo's head to the ground.
"Not bad," Madara commended. "Though, I wonder. Is that speed truly yours? Or is it simply your Genjutsu power again?"
"It's mine," Ryuu said forming a Lightning Sword, which shattered on Madara's Susanoo. "Your Susanoo is impenetrable."
"Isn't it though," Madara grinned. "There's something we forgot to mention about the Ten-tails. It has the ability, should it so desire, to cancel a shinobi's chakra, making it immune to jutsus. And, by the same token, can cancel some jutsus...such as the Impure World Reincarnation."
Ryuu's eyes widened and he looked toward the barrier, instantly spotting Fu trying to fight human-sized monsters that looked like similar to the Ten-tails. As she fought, another was approaching behind her.
Madara grinned and used Ryuu's distraction to bring his Susanoo's other arm up, swatting at Ryuu like a fly but missing. Ryuu had already left, forming his wings and flying toward the open top of the barrier.
