I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.
Sacrifice
"I'm not as strong or fast as Guy, but because of my Medical Ninjutsu, I should be able to maintain it for longer than him. Your ten minutes starts now."
Ryuu jabbed his thumb into his chest and blood red vapor began to shoot off of him. Pain hit him instantly, threatening to drop him to his knees. He began to us his Medical Ninjutsu to keep his body functioning, but he instantly realized he wouldn't last ten minutes.
"Get going Naruto," Ryuu growled. "You have a ways to run if you're going to save him. But when you get back, do me a favor and save me too."
Naruto disappeared and Ryuu turned back to Madara who was grinning from ear to ear.
"So I get to fight two Eight Inner Gates Formation users in the same day?" Madara sneered. "I'm honored."
"Don't be," Ryuu growled. "I'm not going to miss like Guy."
He charged forward, considering using his Body Flicker technique, but deciding against it when setting his foot down snapped his femur. His Medical Ninjutsu healed it just in time for his other one to snap.
Oh yeah, Ryuu thought pulling his hand back as he approached Madara who seemed to be moving in slow motion. This is going to be Hell.
His fist crashed into Madara's stomach, blasting him backward before a blast of compressed air hit him, launching him away. Ryuu followed, legs alternating being broken and healed back and forth every step of the way, all the while his shattered arm mended itself. He reached Madara,skidding around behind him and planted both fists in his back, blasting him with one massive blast of compressed air.
One minute, Ryuu thought, arms mending themselves.
He got below Madara, punching him again, just before his arm had recovered, shattering it further. He jumped, arm healing. Then breaking again. This constant cycle began to repeat as he focused most of his Medical Ninjutsu on that arm, beginning to flash around with Madara as Lee and Gaara had during the Chunin Exams, except on a much larger and much more painful scale. Shatter. Heal. Shatter. Heal. Shatter. Heal. Ryuu sped around Madara again as Madara threw a punch at where he knew Ryuu would be. Ryuu's right arm met Madara's. And suddenly his field of vision was filled with a mixture of white goo and blood. Pain unlike anything yet flared through his body, turning his vision white before he recovered it, looking down to see his arm below the middle of his bicep had exploded. He looked up at Madara as Madara flew away to see Madara's arm was the same. Ryuu grit his teeth, sprinting after Madara again.
Four minutes, Ryuu thought.
He reached Madara and punched him straight downward, blasting him into the ground and forming a crater. As his arm began to mend itself, he crashed down onto Madara fist first, blasting him further down. His arm shattered into tiny pieces to the elbow, then began to reconnect itself. Just as it was healed to just before his wrist, with his fist healed as well, Madara got to his feet. Ryuu dropped down, fist crashing into Madara's stomach, blasting him backward into the side of the pit, crashing backward through it. Ryuu paused for his arm to heal again. Once again, just as the healed portion reached his wrist, this time with his fist still broken, Madara was up again. Ryuu's fist crashed into Madara's stomach again, and blood flooded Ryuu's vision.
Five minutes, Ryuu thought. Damn. Not making ten.
Madara rocketed up out of the ground, blasting massive chunks of it skyward before blasting through one of the tree's roots. Ryuu sprinted after him, flipping as he reached him and kicking him. His entire lower leg had the pleasure of his bones turning to dust. He formed his wings, flying after Madara. As he reached him, he kicked his with his other leg, a similar reaction happening. Ryuu chased Madara again, his previously injured leg still shattered but not dust anymore. He kicked Madara with his right leg and white goo followed after him. Ryuu grit his teeth, crouching on his only good leg as it mended. He couldn't use Night Guy, like he had planned on. He needed his other leg for that.
Three minutes left, Ryuu thought.
Ryuu flew forward, charging what was left of his chakra. It wouldn't be anything on Night Guy's scale, but maybe it could still slow Madara down. Ryuu flipped, beginning to spin until he was a blur. Madara formed the only black sphere he had with him into a shield, holding it in front of himself. Ryuu's foot crashed into the shield, blasting it into dust before hitting Madara in the stomach. Ryuu spun around three times before the explosion of super compressed wind went off.
