The next week, Ryuko found exciting news. Kumogakure was doing a massive genin tournament where each village was allowed to participate. Killer V, the eight-tailed jinchuriki, was in charge of the event, and the grand prize was a week of training with her. Since that would be the perfect chance to learn tricks for Fuu and Naruko to help them master their tailed beast, Ryuko decided to participate in it. The fact that it was a buffet of muscular ladies and fights also helped him with this decision. He only needed the Hokage's permission to go, and the boy was now in Hiruzen's office trying to get it.
"No, you are not allowed to go," the old man said with a serious tone, rubbing his forehead. He was too old to deal with the problems that Ryuko was causing.
Ryuko raised a frustrated eyebrow. "Why? It said that they are inviting genins from each ninja village. Am I not strong enough?" He muttered with a bratty tone. The boy really was giving the stinky eye to the old man after he almost made Fuu go back to her village.
"I know that you are strong, Ryuko. I would already give you the rank of Tokubetsu Jonin if we were in times of war," the man added, well aware of Ryuko's strength. Even if he wanted to hide it, the Anbu reports and his own experience made it evident that the ninja was the strongest member of his generation, already having surpassed Satsuki.
Ryuko crossed his arms. "Then why?" He asked again.
Hiruzen rolled his eyes. "I am well aware of your escapades. On behalf of the village, I thank you for your efforts in trying to revive the Uzumaki clan. However, we cannot allow you to give another village access to the byakugan," the Hokage added, as it was clear that Ryuko would breed each single woman that the village threw to him.
The boy nodded with an understanding gesture on his face. "Well, that is fair, but I can keep it on my pants," he answered, as this was technically something easy to do.
The old man felt a shiver down his spine. "Never underestimate the power of a Kumogakure kunoichi . . . those women are masters of their craft," he muttered, talking from experience during the war.
"Finally, the Hyuga clan was really clear that they don't want you going there," he added after a long pause.
That was it; Ryuko would only breed more bastards out of pure spite for that clan. How did they dare to get in between him and his fun? "The Hyuga clan . . . you say . . ." He muttered already, thinking about what camera he would buy to film Hinata and then send the tape to her dad. If they wanted to keep it in the family, he would do it.
"It is not rare that these kinds of policies are placed. Might Guy also is forbidden to set foot in Kumogakure," the old man added, as the Jonin was another risky individual in situations like that.
"So a pinky promise that I would only do oral and anal is not enough?" He asked again, confirming the state of his situation.
"Sadly, no," Hiruzen added, hoping that this would be the end of this conversation.
"What if I drag each woman that I get pregnant back into the village?" Ryuko suggested. He could easily do that with enough time and effort.
Hiruzen made a deep sigh and rubbed his temple. "Please don't make another international incident," he muttered with a tired tone.
"So you know that one of my teachers is Shizune, right? We can craft some male contraceptives that I can eat to make me temporarily infertile," Ryuko suggested, as he didn't want to waste time learning that kind of seal.
Hiruzen went short of air for a second there."They were used in the war. . . I was hoping you would not know about those," he confessed, as this removed the only excuse he had to not allow Ryuko to go there.
The boy gave a knowing smile. "Are the Hyugas really that annoying?" He asked. Ryuko knew full well what kind of assholes those people were, and not even the Hokage was safe from their influence.
"They are a complicated group. Your existence is just a constant thorn in their sandals. I hope when Lady Hinata becomes the clan leader they will be able to be more tolerant to people outside the clan," he confessed, as they were really unjust to Ryuko. Not only the attempts at murder that the old man knew about but also all the other unsavory acts they do. In terms of scum, they were on the same level as the Kuroi.
Ryuko made a wide smile and gave him a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Hokage! I will make sure you live to see the Hyuga clan changing!" He exclaimed, as the boy would not let this offense against him pass.
"Wait, Ryuko, what do you mean by that?" Hiruzen asked with a suspicious tone.
"I will use my charms and diplomacy to cause the change I want to see," the boy added with an innocent grin on his face, playing dumb.
Hiruzen let out a groan of pure pain. "Just . . . don't break any law, treaty, or rule, and don't get killed," he muttered, making a dismissive gesture with his hand. The old man needed some time alone with his pipe after this.
"Don't worry, I will give you my ninja word that I will not get killed!" Ryuko exclaimed while getting out of the village, clearly only agreeing with half of that petition.
****
Apart from all his traditional wears and items, Ryuko made sure to seal a high-quality chakra metal linked chain to use as a weapon. He didn't want to reveal his Uzumaki chains unless absolutely necessary, and his hair was enough to work for binding people, but he wanted to make sure he was prepared for everything. The boy kept the wrist seals with poison smoke bombs as well as tons of liters of poisoned water to use in his fights. It was lethal poison, of course, but he also had some antidotes prepared in order not to kill his opponents. He also got some insulated rubber gloves just in case a ninja wanted to use a lightning release on his trusty chain.
Then, for his disguise, he changed his fox mask for a bull one, as well as a smaller symbol to represent Shikkotsu Forest and Katsuyu on his shoulder. He made sure that the mask only covered half of his face, so his mouth was free to use all kinds of jutsus.
With everything set and done, Ryuko began to travel to that village. Since the weights on him were a lot heavier than usual, it would take him some time, but just a day after leaving Konoha, he began to see the changes in geography. He was in a forest with massive pines; the dry and slightly cold air caressed his body as the boy kept running alone on Land of Lightning.
"It has been a long time since I went to this country," Lady Katsuyu muttered on the telepathic link she had with Ryuko.
The boy raised an eyebrow as his body got used to the difference in altitude. "Really? How long?" He asked with a curious tone.
"I was here when Hashirama gave the eight tails to her first Jinchuriki; I think that she was called F or something like that," Lady Katsuyu muttered with nostalgia, craving those good old fights she had with Hashirama. She hated to admit it, but she kind of missed that crazy bitch Madara.
"Oh, that is . . ." the boy began to say as he detected something strange with his byakugan. From afar, Ryuko got a glimpse of something strange. From the sky, something was falling toward him; it was like a small teru teru bozu doll made out of cloth and wood with a long chakra string connected to its back. Weirdly, it almost looked like some kind of puppet.
The second that those dolls touched the ground, a roaring inferno was unleashed. They explode in flames as if they had dozens of explosive seals inside each of them. Massive flames began to engulf the forest immediately. Ryuko could hear those explosions going on simultaneously in part of the forest outside his byakugan range. It was a trap; the assassin was using the dry forest to turn this land into a burning grave.
"It is a puppet user! Don't waste your time dealing with their dolls; focus on finding him!" Lady Katsuyu exclaimed, her old mind recalling when Tsunade had to fight Chiyo in the third war.
On that moment, Ryuko looked up in the sky, following the trail of those chakra strings that were now gone, and managed to get a glimpse of the perpetrator high in the noon sky. He could see a ninja wearing a long black hoodie, with pink short hair and flying over a big wooden bird. The puppet had long wings that seemed to be made with some kind of paper, more like a kite than a proper animal. The assassin was so far away that the boy could only see him by using his normal vision since he was flying far from his byakugan range.
Since Ryuko was playing in the palm of that assassin's hand, he decided to move to a more advantageous position. However, as the boy ran across the flaming forest, he realized something: he was in the same place where he started to run.
"Kai!" He exclaimed, removing the genjutsu he was in. Ryuko was really looking forward to this fight, as the small glimpses he had taken of those puppets had awakened his interest in them.
"Don't bother; the assassin is using a persistent genjutsu; as long as he is focusing on you, it will be extremely hard to get rid of it," Lady Katsuyu explained with a calm tone inside Ryuko. She had experience fighting with genjutsu users who used fire, after all. The main problem was that persistent genjutsu was not the worst to deal with and required the caster to be almost completely still. Something that was possible thanks to the man only needing a hand to move his puppets around and then using the other to maintain the jutsu, trapping Ryuko in this labyrinth of fire that was getting hotter and hotter each second that it passed.
Ryuko stopped running and began to think for a second. This was a bad situation. The man had both the method of preserving chakra by using the ascending wind currents of hot air to stay in the air outside his range and dodge any projectile he could use. Then he was using a less chakra-intensive method of attack and should be a sensory type to see him across the fire and smoke. It was truly one of the best possible counters for a byakugan user. The boy made a nervous and excited smile. This was going to be fun.
Ryuko took a few seconds to formulate his plan; it was risky, but the boy's blood was already pumping with adrenaline. "Can you do this?" He asked at the slug in his stomach as he, with a swift hand gesture, removed his weights. The impact of the impossible, heavy seals made a massive cloud of smoke and ashes that covered him for a few seconds.
The old slug nodded her tiny head a few times, excited about that idea."Sure! Show me what you are capable of, young boy!" She exclaimed, ready to go ahead with this plan.
In that forest, the boy summoned six shadow clones. However, after a few hand seals, there were only three Ryukos in that burning forest. Using his immense strength, Ryuko began to run with an incredible speed toward the man's location, grabbed the copies by the hand, and threw them towards the puppet bird.
As a pair of arrows, the two boys fly across the air toward the assassin. Even with that, they lacked the distance to connect with the man, who flew away from them with ease. However, the boy had already planned this. Each clone shot two kunai toward them in an arching pattern as they got really close.
"Amateur," the man muttered with a boring expression, and with his pinky finger, he took another doll from under his cloak and threw it in the air, creating a massive wall of fire to puff those clones. He knew that they were clones henge as weapons. However, only three of the four kunai went away.
"What?!" The assassin exclaimed as Ryuko appeared in front of him, his incredible endurance making it possible for him to survive such a direct shot as the henge was broken.
"Surprise!" The boy exclaimed as his body was engulfed by flames as he was a lethal distance from the ground.
The boy almost caught the man, but thanks to the sudden explosion of hot air from the puppet, the bird managed to quickly change direction and fly away from Ryuko.
"Come back! I am not mad!" The redhead exclaimed and used a quick burst of chakra from the tenketsu points of his back to shoot himself toward. It wasn't enough; that man was fast on his bird. He threw the chain he had saved for the tournament toward him after quickly unleashing it.
With a quick jerk of his chakra string, the man managed to dodge that attack that almost touched him. This was getting really dangerous for him. "Not interested," he muttered, and then realized something: there was a second chain holding the head of his puppet. The first chain was just a decoy; the true attack was Ryuko's adamantine chain that he shot from his waist. However, without wasting time and with just a quick flick of a finger, the assassin popped out the head of the bird as if it was a doll, making the chain fall away from him. Now free from the restraints, the man flew away to safety while Ryuko was falling into his burning grave.
"What a monster . . . I should have asked for more," the man muttered, and then his sensory talent lit up as a massive source of chakra was summoned behind him.
On the second that the boy shot his adamantine chain, an ant-sized Katsuyu was already waiting for it on Ryuko's waist. When the boy shot the chain, she was on the tip, ready to connect with the target. Once it landed on the bird, she quickly jumped on the puppet, and thanks to her minuscule chakra signature, it managed to sneak behind the man for a few seconds as he was paying attention to Ryuko. It was enough time for the slug to summon a bigger version of her right behind the assassin.
A blood-curling scream of pure pain rumbled across the forest, louder than the roaring fire of the flames under Ryuko. With that sound, the boy knew that he had won the fight; however, now was the small detail of landing.
He threw up a massive slug from his mouth that quickly summoned an elephant-sized one to work as a cushion. With that soft and gooey companion, Ryuko was able to land without problems as the summoning broke into thousands of tiny slugs to cushion the impact.
Still surrounded by fire, Ryuko shook the goo from his body a little and asked the now-mountain of slugs an important question. "Did you kill him?" Ryuko asked with a smug smile on his lips, still filled with adrenaline from the high-altitude fight.
"No, but he would wish for that," a small slug on the shoulder of Ryuko muttered.
A few minutes later, outside the burning forest, Ryuko found the assassin's crashing zone. The broken puppet was on a side as the man was lying on the dry dirt without arms or legs. Slugs had melted them as they infested his body like maggots in a corpse. Even most of his skin was off after the initial barrage of acidic mucus. He had tried to kill himself multiple times by biting his own tongue, but multiple slugs inside his mouth made it impossible for him to completely close his teeth. Each second was a constant hell of pure pain as each nerve in his body was screaming for an end to this hell.
"Just kill me already and stop wasting both of our times," the man muttered, impressing Ryuko that the man could still talk.
The boy wearing the bull mask let out a deep sigh. "But I wanted to interrogate you," the ninja said with a bratty tone, and before he could say a single word, he already had an answer.
"It was the Hyuga clan," the assassin added, as there was no more information he could possibly give to Ryuko.
"Well, that was easy . . ." he said, not really knowing what to do with him now. They could patch him up; the man's life as a ninja was over, but still, those wounds were not meant to kill him. It was a little bit scary to see the level of expertise that Lady Katsuyu had for doing this kind of stuff.
"Ok, that is everything. Bye," Ryuko said, and with a quick hand movement, he broke the man's neck. He didn't need to let anyone live in that condition. After all, he was only a sadist when it came to sex, and since he wasn't into dudes, this made his choice really clear.
Ryuko then went to loot the corpse; after all, he wanted to get a good look at those puppets. "Let's what we have here . . ." he muttered as his hand began to unseal each thing that the man had on him.
"It is always annoying dealing with puppet users," Lady Katsuyu muttered, still remembering the literal pain of dealing with Chiyo. Puppets and poison were a deadly combination, even for her.
Ryuko shrugged. He had a lot of ideas that could be really helpful, especially if he managed to create a chakra string from his tenketsu points. "I don't know; they seem neat. I may want to try to learn about them," the boy finally said as his eyes were fixed on the treasure in front of him.
[Ryuko gains 400 exp + 100 exp (thanks to Fighting Junkie) from the fight.
Ryuko gains:
Teru teru boom doll X 5: Explosive puppets created with wood and cloth. Each of them contains enough incendiary explosive scrolls to burn a whole building to a crisp.
Broken big bird puppet: A flying puppet the size of a horse. It can easily carry a ninja, but it needs strong currents of wind in order to be able to fly without using a lot of chakra.
Diary of Suto: The diary of a missing-nin from Sunagakure. The most relevant thing that it contains is the mention of human puppets created by Sasori of The Red Sand and notes of the multiple failed attempts to replicate them. Lowers the requirements for learning human puppets to 8 medicine and puppetry to 7.
Suto corpse.]
****
On the trip to Kumogakure, Ryuko was enthralled by the diary. After all, it talked about a lot of interesting things, most importantly about puppets and the concepts of human puppets. A secret art created by Sasori of The Red Sand allowed the user to turn corpses into puppets. However, the best and most unique part about them was that they kept the capacity to use chakra and even their bloodlines and hidden jutsus. The boy's mind was filled with ideas and possibilities about what he could do with that, especially if he managed to use strings from his tenketsus points. Truly, the sky was the limit with this information. However, there was a problem: the research was incomplete since the assassin named Suto was unable to iron out some kinks, like making it so the corpse would not rot and infusing your chakra into the puppet without breaking it.
Before he realized it, the boy was at the doors of Kumogakure, a massive ninja village built inside multiple mountains and valleys. The colossal structures of buildings and bridges connected the whole metropolis, making it look like a floating city since some parts of it even reached the clouds. He was surprised at how big it was in this village since the queue to enter was huge. However, after a few minutes, the boy was standing in front of the massive gates of the city but got stopped by a guard.
"Stop there, name and motive to enter the village," a tall black man wearing the village headband on the waist asked with a serious tone.
"I am R, and I came from Konohagakure for the Genin Tournament," Ryuko said with a smug smile. It was for his name and also because of rape. The boy may be engaging in mild tomfoolery during his visit to that place.
The man rolled his eyes, a little annoyed, but since the ninja looked like a cute girl, he would let it slide. "Right . . . do you have the Hokage's permission?" The man asked again.
"Here!" Ryuko said, giving the scroll, and after this small interchange, the boy was in the village. It was his first time in another ninja village, and by the sage, he needed to endure his idiotic impulse. There were so many tough-looking ninjas giving him the stinky eye that could give him a good fight and so many beautiful women to breed.
The tournament rules were simple. No killing allowed; you had one day of rest between each fight after the playoffs, and that was all. You could use whatever you liked to win and any tactic that seemed worthy. The big prize was one week of training with Killer V, more like a curse than a blessing for some people. The village had given him a small hotel room to stay in as a way to show hospitality, but like any ninja who respected himself, Ryuko politely refused. The boy went to a private hotel where he could sleep without fear of getting assassins sent while he was sleeping. After setting up a few traps in his big and fancy hotel room, the boy went to the village arena.
The massive stadium was at least three times bigger than the one from Konoha; they had basically cut the top of one mountain and dug the whole building inside. He made an excited face under his mask as he went to the big hall where all the ninjas were registering for the tournament. Ryuko was surprised at how such a colossal place could be this empty; there were only five genins from Iwagakure and nothing more, all of them male, so they did not raise Ryuko's interest.
However, the second he left the form on the box, he was ambushed by a giant. She was a massive woman, so big that Ryuko could lick those chiseled obsidian abs without kneeling. Wearing a tight set of black jeans, a white jacket, and a pair of dark glasses, this amazon was wearing her ninja band on her forehead. Only a small black mesh shirt hid those colossal milkers that jiggle each time she breathed, with those plump lips doing a smug smile. Not even those big hips and muscular ass kept Ryuko distracted from the most unique detail of that woman, her long blonde dreadlocks. He had never seen that style of haircut before.
"Only one genin from Konoha? It tears me apart. They're breaking my spirit and shattering my heart," the woman rapped with her deep but feminine tone, her eyes looking at Ryuko's headband.
Ryuko recognized that woman the instant the cringy rap touched his ears. "Oh, you are the eight-tailed jinchuriki, Killer V? You can call me R," the boy said with a gentle smile. Now he knew why the Hokage warned him about these kunoichis.
The woman nodded a few times. "You are right. I am that bitch; it's true; I hope to see a good fight; bring your best, won't you?" Killer V added with a cocky smile, looking forward to what Konoha had to offer.
"I will!" Ryuko said that and nodded a few times. The best part about this incredible size difference was that he was at the perfect height to ogle those dark mountains of fat without looking like a pervert.
The woman chuckled and gave Ryuko a small pat on the back. "Ah! I hope you give my brats a good fight. Make them struggle with all your might," she finally said as the kunoichi went to see her own squad of genin.
****
Ryuko smashed his rivals in the playoffs. He just needed to use his taijutsu to kick their asses, and even with his weight on, the dummies from Konoha were more of a challenge to him. Ryuko was just too far from what a normal genin was, so these small rounds only lasted a few minutes for his block. When he was done, it was already noon, and he needed something to drink. So while walking to the vending machine, he found himself with a curious group of genin that looked strong like him.
"Sup, you are the ninja from Konoha? The only one that had the guts to show their face here? Even for a girl, you have big balls. I like those in my women," a tall black woman with a crimson mane exclaimed, getting near Ryuko with a dominant expression on her face. With eyes as golden as the sun and puffy lips, that girl wearing a red and black gi seemed to be really flirtatious with him. Even if her breasts were too small for a kunoichi she compensated with her posterior, she could give Tenten a run for her money with those two ebony mountains of muscle and fat.
Another kunoichi standing beside the woman stared daggers at her; one could see her fist clenching and a vein popping in her pristine white skin. "It is a he, not a she. So keep it down, Karui," the woman muttered with a cold and serious tone. Wearing a blonde bob cut and gray gi and a non-nonsense expression, that woman with deep blue eyes was the definition of a ice queen. With a massive set of tits that could easily be used as a ninja weapon, Ryuko realized that he was in danger just being near her. Maybe she would kill him, maybe she would steal his seed; in any of those cases, that woman seemed like a decent opponent.
Karui let out a groan of pure pain. "Samui, you dumb bimbo. How do you know that?! I can recognize a cute girl when I see one!" The ninja snarled with an angry and frustrated tone.
As the two immense women were towering over Ryuko, Samui just pointed a long finger to his crotch, since the bulge on his pants could be seen if you were not distracted by his face or ass.
"Ewwwww!" Karui exclaimed as her face changed completely from one of want to one of dislike. That cocky smile was replaced by a cold and serious expression, almost imitating Samui.
Then came a paranoid rant from a random person. "Wait! He is using a mask to hide his eyes, and he is from Konoha. That means that he has a dojutsu, which means he has the Sharingan. Wait, Sharingan, Konoha . . . another village; he must be a descendant of Madara who is here to do something like he did in Iwagakure!" A male voice said from behind those two walking mountains. He was smaller, the same size as Ryuko. It was a young ninja with black skin and short, spiky white hair wearing a dark gray hoodie that was too big for him as the big nodachi on his back.
"Or he just doesn't want to show his face," Samui answered with a tired tone as she rolled her eyes.
Karui gave the boy a small punch in the head. "I don't care if he is the reincarnation of the first Raikage. I am not interested in any men. Anyway, that killed the mood; for a pathetic male, we already have Omoi," she muttered as her tone was serious and even a little annoyed toward the boy.
"Hey!" Omoi exclaimed, clearly offended by those words.
****
Ryuko had an idea; he would freestyle his answers. What could be the worst that could happen? "From Konohagakure, the name is R. Bring your steel, 'cause I'm slinging bars. Master of water but spitting hot fire. The ladies' number 1 desire. So step right up, and you will see. Why I'll be training with Killer V!" Ryuko freestyled on those ninjas with a wide smile on his lips. At that moment, the boy died a little on the inside; even though he was the epicenter of this bomb of cringe, he was also affected by the blast.
Omoi did not react at all; after all, he had put himself in a genjutsu to be able to ignore rap and rhymes years ago when the boy started to train with V. It was the only way to stay sane under those conditions.
Karui's cold and serious expression broke for a second with a small chuckle but then built up again as a perfect, solid ice wall. She found it amusing, but the girl didn't want to show it to the boy or her girlfriend. The woman always laughed her ass off with the bad rap of her teacher, and this tickled her in a similar way.
Samui, finally, launched a dead stare toward Ryuko. The boy could feel a similar pressure as when he fought Zabuza all those months ago; it was pure and concentrated killer intent. Honestly, the woman would feel less hurt if he had just spit on her face; at least her ears would have been safe from such an attack.
("Please don't ever do that again.") Lady Katsuyu muttered inside Ryuko's mind as she recoiled in pain inside the boy's stomach. That was a really low blow for the old slug.
Ryuko made a mental note. ("Sorry, Lady Katsuyu"), he answered. Really, that was a technique just too dirty for him.
"I will not apologize for art!" Ryuko exclaimed with a prideful tone. He sucked at this, but that would not deter him from being proud of it.
"That wasn't art; it was a war crime. And that is something coming from our village . . ." Samui added with a deadpan expression, making it unclear if that was a joke or not.
Ryuko rolled his eyes. "Bah, everyone's a critic," he finally muttered, ready to get back to his hotel room and get ready for the next day.
A night later, early in the morning, the boy was back in the area. For the first time in his life, Ryuko saw inside that massive coliseum arena and was taken aback by what he had in front of him. It was massive; the whole place was filled with so many people that their cheers and screams sounded more like the buzzing of insects than proper shouts. However, what really took him by surprise was the battlefield. The boy was expecting a simple plain of sand, but what he found was a small town. It was filled with mock houses, businesses, and streets, and even had a fake river running in the middle of the arena. It looked like they somehow cut a chunk from a city and put it in there. It was truly an interesting setting for a fight.
****
"Yo! Welcome, everybody, to the tourney's debut. We're here to see what our brats can do," Killer V screamed on her microphone as she sat on the commentary box, her huge feet over the desk as she sat on her chair.
"Louder than a bijudama, it's Killer V. With my sister Mabui, spitting facts, you'll see. About those fights, we're ready to enlighten. Bringing you the truth, shining bright," the woman exclaimed before getting a small slap on the back of the head and being forced to sit like a normal person.
Following the instructions of the Raikage, there was a woman sitting next to the Amazon. She was a dark-skinned girl with emerald eyes and silver hair tied into a bun. The woman, smaller than most of the kunoichis of this land, was wearing a formal blue jacket with a black skirt and white shirt under it. Possessor of an intriguingly big set of breasts, it was clear that the buttons on the shirt were made by some kind of ninja to not explode and cause serious damage with the pressure that those two fat tits were exerting over them.
"Salutations! Since the Raikage was busy with an important mission, I will accompany Killer V on this small tournament," the woman said with a cordial and formal tone, a clear contrast to her co-host.
"From Kumogakure, Omoi stands tall, a Genin with a big sword, ready to brawl. With masterful ninjutsu, he's sharp and spry. Watch him rise, aiming high to the sky," Killer V exclaimed as the young ninja walked slowly into the area and stood about 200 meters from where Ryuko was, on the other side of that long dirt street.
"From Konohagakure, R takes the stand. A ninja with long red hair, so grand. A master in hand-to-hand combat, so bold. Watch R's skills in action, a sight to behold," she finally added as Ryuko stood at a long distance with his byakugan already examining the terrain.
"Show me a good time!" Ryuko exclaimed, ready to get his fill of fun and enjoyment in this fight.
Omoi shook his head, already thinking of a dozen plans and what to do. "No! I will not show my techniques! Oh wait, it must be reverse psychology! I will show you!" He exclaimed, pulled out his long katana, and began to jump from rooftop to rooftop, slowly but surely getting near Ryuko.
With his byakugan, the boy could see that strange pattern; it was as if his enemy was taking random stops all over the arena to launch kunai at different locations. Inside houses, on rooftops, on small streets, etc. Omoi was littering the arena with those metal knives with strange scrolls tied to the guard. A normal ninja would not be able to see it, but thanks to his byakuga and the fact that he hid it, he was able to perceive that strange strategy.
"Omoi is the first one to charge towards R. It seems that Genin is setting up something!" Mabui exclaimed with an intrigued tone as she watched the tactic.
V made a smug smile, already expecting that Omoi would go all out at the start of the fight since that boy was really paranoid. It was kind of ironic that she had taught him that technique. "That is right; I hope R is set for the fray. Ready for high-speed fighting, come what may," she added, waiting to see what the redhead would do.
Ryuko charged forward, with a wicked smile on his lips, as he jumped over the roof, ready to land a strike on him. They got near each other. Omoi charged with his sword as he jumped over the air, ready to land a vertical slash on the boy, when Ryuko activated the seal in his mouth. A massive gush of paralyzing toxins mixed with his genjutsu drugs exploded in this red mist of pure poisonous smoke, directly toward the genin that couldn't dodge. Or at least that was what Ryuko thought.
In less than a fraction of an instant, Omoi had disappeared and was in a random place in the arena, afar from the poison range, as the paranoid boy did his best to avoid the strike. He was fast—so fast that Ryuko's eyes had problems keeping up with his speed.
"Could it be?! A poison breathing technique like Hanzo the Salamander?" Mabui exclaimed, seeing that strange jutsu that Ryuko had just done.
V let out a loud cackle. "He was too slow! Omoi's spark kata glow. Seems too much for R in this lightning show!" She exclaimed, her big chest filled with pride, as she saw her student doing so well.
It was an intense movement. Omoi was fast—so fast that Ryuko was unable to put him under genjutsu as his could not catch him with his speed. Something that was as harmful for the boy as it was for the redhead. It seemed that Omoi didn't have any idea where he landed, just getting in a random part of the arena, throwing some kunai to set up another jumping point, or trying to slash Ryuko if he was close enough.
Well, it was time to deploy one of his aces. Ryuko quickly weaved hand seals and summoned four shadow clones to assist him in catching that elusive ninja. The boy had the feeling that he needed to hurry up since the lightning chakra was building up on top of him like some kind of cloak with each zap.
Then, instead of catching Omoi, Ryuko waited. While the ninja was busy dealing with him and three of his clones, one of them grabbed one of the kunai from the floor. It was just a matter of time before he was moved toward it. A key difference with proper teleportation was that this jutsu was just moving really fast; it actually didn't have any blinking properties as it looked to the naked eye.
In a second, Omoi was teleported in front of one of Ryuko's clones, and before he could react, he grabbed his leg. "Got you!" Ryuko exclaimed, and using a quick burst of energy from his tenketsu points to move, he was able to land a solid kick on Omoi. The boy flew across the area as the strong kick made his bones rattle.
"There we have, ladies and gentlemen! The legendary shadow clone jutsu from Konoha in action!" Mabui yelled as the crowd was in awe at such a display of ninjutsu.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Not enough! I would need more electricity! Fuck!" The boy exclaimed, as he had more than enough power to do the next part; he was just being paranoid. Even if that seemed like a nice attack, it was already time. Omoi had already charged enough static electricity to activate his second kata.
"Rev up the lightning and show me a thunderstorm!" Ryuko exclaimed, bracing himself with a nervous smile, looking forward to the attack that was coming.
Ryuko made a wicked smile and activated the first gate. The extra chakra flowing inside his brain finally allowed him to easily follow Omoi with his gaze. With this up, he ran near the river in the middle of the arena as the boy chased him. He weaved hand seals and sucked a lot of water into his mouth to mix with his saliva in order to launch a massive syrup field around him. It was a ring-shaped swamp of sticky goo to trap his enemy. He set up a proper trap to avoid more surprise attacks.
At that moment, Omoi went still for a second, and Ryuko saw something incredible. The redhead made a nervous smile, as if he was about to ask a girl to date. This was becoming extremely interesting.
With all that lightning chakra that was charging, the ninja's body exploded as it mixed with the static energy generated from zapping between kunai. In a second, the boy was covered by this layer of lightning, and the white hair on his body stood up. With that pseudo-chakra mode, the ninja charged forward toward Ryuko, throwing some kunai on the lake of goo to work as a bridge as he used them as jumping points.
The clones of Ryuko jumped at him, testing his steel, but they were cut in a second. With the buff added by that mode, he quickly slashed them apart without any problem, the energy coating his blade and almost guiding it from his target.
"Omoi's voltage kata, lightning's dance, strikes with power, foes have no chance!" V exclaimed as Omoi finally was able to show the village the result of his training. A technique inspired by Killer V's experience with the Yellow Flash.
At that moment, Ryuko activated his hair jutsu. With a single hand seal, the crimson hair of the boy grew and he tried to catch Omoi, who seemed to be without protection. The vermillion tendrils clashed against the ninja blade as the two were fighting mid-air. Even with the numeric superiority, Omoi was able to withstand the barrage of attacks until he landed in front of Ryuko, ready to land a decided strike.
On that second, Ryuko took a step forward, ready to collide his fist with the blade and try to break it. However, the ninja was too cautious to try to test his steel in that way. He jumped back outside the ring, giving Ryuko another chance to catch him with his hair. However, Omoi only needed a quick hand seal to activate the seals on the kunai; it seemed that in this state, instead of beacons for him to move around, the weapons became explosives.
A set of thunderous electric explosions not only made sure to keep the hair at bay but also burned away the goo that made that part of the ring. Ryuko even needed to use his hair to block the shrapnel from the kunai.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! It is not done yet; maybe if I . . ." Omoi cursed for himself, as the damage from the first kick was already affecting him. He may have a broken rib.
Ryuko's eyes perked up, and his curiosity reached the borders of insanity as one of his strands of hair went inside a house and took a chair from it. "Do you need more time to charge your final move? Please go ahead," he muttered with a sadistic smile as the boy flexed on the ninja, literally taking a seat mid-battle.
The whole stadium exploded in boos toward Ryuko as he was humiliating the ninja; however, the brat didn't care. He honestly wanted to see the last kata of Omoi.
"What?!" The ninja exclaimed, confused by such a gesture. There were only two ways of winning this fight: getting the opponent to surrender or making him unable to fight. However, with the last part, he was actually worried about killing Ryuko.
"Come on! Do it!" Ryuko begged, as he was ready to take anything that Omoi launched at him right in the face.
The ninja took a step back. "Are you crazy?! You could die!" He yelled as the electricity around him reached its peak.
"Omoi, cease your jest; extend a welcome with zest!" V screamed and made her order clear. She wanted to see if that brat's power was as big as his mouth.
"Please, survive this!" The young man finally muttered as the aura around him ceased to exist. All that electricity, all that power, was gone and concentrated on his blade. The katana was now bright red as the sheer electricity on it filled the air with the stench of ozone.
It was a second, and Ryuko was taken aback as he only managed to get up the chair as Omoi was behind him. He was gladly surprised that Omoi did not make him wait a lot. It was almost as if he was able to use the body flicker technique for a second in an offensive manner. If it wasn't for the byakugan, he wouldn't be able to see the horizontal strike coming for him. It was crude without a lot of graze and speed as the previous attacks, maybe as a result of using body flicker in this way, but Ryuko knew that if that hit, it would be nasty.
Omoi's hands burned like hell; holding that blade even if its handle was made to withstand this heat was really dangerous, and that was why this technique could only be done in the span of a few seconds. As he swung the blade, it exploded in an arch of metal shrapnel and electricity, a crescent moon of pure slashing power that couldn't be blocked or even dodged from this angle. This was a truly terrifying technique. However, Ryuko, thanks to his byakugan, managed to dodge it.
At the last second, the boy lowered his torso, and as the wave of destruction traveled above him, he managed to lift a leg and give Omoi an ascending kick in a masterful demonstration of taijutsu. In that instant, a donkey kick defeated the blade.
Omoi flew across the air as the kick probably broke his jaw with the intensity of the strike. The boy landed on top of a house, collapsing the building and creating a massive shock wave that shook the public to its core.
"Impossible! How could he evade the strike? Dodging Omoi's storm kata, swift as a lightning spike?" Killer V exclaimed, surprised by such a counter. Until something clicked on her, and she began to laugh her ass off, confusing her companion. There were three possibilities: he was a sensory ninja, he had an unfair level of reflexes, or he had the byakugan. However, why would the first two take the time to hide their eyes? Konoha was ballsy by sending a byakugan user to the tournament after the last political incident related to the Hyuga clan. She liked that.
"Amazing! R managed to dodge that strike from that angle and land an powerful counterkick!" Mabui yelled as the crowd was divided; some of them hated Ryuko, but others were cheering him on because of the sheer potency and speed of that kick.
-x-X-x-
Omoi woke up inside the coliseum infirmary as Ryuko and a nurse were treating his wounds. The redhead was mostly focusing on the ninja's jaw to avoid him going through the painful recovery of having those bones broken.
"What are you doing here?! Are you trying to poison me?!" Omoi exclaimed as he woke up, surprised that he could move his mouth so well after getting that kick. The boy could have sworn that he had heard something cracking at the moment of the impact.
Ryuko chuckled with a smirk on his lips. "I already beat you, so no need for that," he muttered with a bratty tone.
The nurse healing the ninja's chest injury intervened; after all, Ryuko was only allowed to heal Omoi with the supervision of another medic loyal to the village. "He is just helping with the healing procedure; this ninja seemed to be extremely proficient in medic jutsu. Even better than me," the woman said calmly with an impressed tone since, for a genin, Ryuko was extremely good at medic jutsu. She had seen only jonin stimulating the cellular growth to that level before.
Omoi moved his jaw and tested it to make sure that everything was working alright. "Oh . . . thanks," he muttered, surprised at the goodwill from a ninja of Konoha.
"It is the least I can do; you warned me about the attack, so I would not die, so we are even," Ryuko answered as his massive chakra pool and the period of time that he had to relax between fights allowed him to spend this chakra without worrying.
"But if you are here, you aren't seeing Karui's match. You don't want to know about her bloodline?" Omoi asked, as he was sure that his companion's fight was after his. He knew about her techniques and Ryuko could also learn them if the boy just stood outside to see the fight.
The boy shook his head. "Nah, it would ruin the surprise," he finally said, making it clear that for him this wasn't a serious fight. Ryuko was just there to have fun and fuck cute ninjas. He was already doing the first one, and his huge libido was driving him mad with the second part. It had already been 3 days since the last time he had sex, and the redhead was feeling really, really pent up.
-x-X-x-
The next day, Ryuko was ready for the next fight. He came to the area as the two presenters began to cheer up the public, while his opponent also entered the small fake town. The place was neatly fixed in the night, but some ice still lingered from the last fight of the previous day.
"Welcome to the second day of the tournament. Today's first match is between Karui from Kumogakure and R from Konohagakure," Mabui exclaimed as she did her best to hype all the people in the stands; after all, it was her job.
Killer V got up and began to freestyle with her hands. "R with his fist, ready to fight, Karui with blades, brawling all day. Together, we'll face the coming light. Let's see how we will win this day! She yelled, looking forward to what Ryuko would do in this fight. The woman had her interest peaked by the last act.
Karui cracked her neck and clenched her fist. In a second, she unleashed her steel release, creating a massive armor around her body. It was pristine silver armor that looked like a samurai and completely covered her body from head to toe, with sharp blades coming out of it. A suit that perfectly sealed the air around her, as even her eyes were covered with a layer of transparent metal. The kunoichi had trained to withstand her breathing for at least ten minutes, so she had more than enough time to deal with Ryuko. "Come on, you fucking weakling, I will show you what a kunoichi from Kumogakure can do!" Karui exclaimed, opening up her mask for a second before sealing it once again.
"Please tell me that you have that armor insulated. I would hate to find out that the weakness to your release is the very thing your village is known for, lightning release," Ryuko exclaimed with a mocking tone as he activated two gates. He would need all his power to break that armor.
Karui did not answer to that banter, as she raised a hand and created a massive fuma shuriken with her steel release. It was a human adult-sized ninja star of metal that she threw against Ryuko. The massive weapon flew across the air like a buzzsaw, connected to her with a small chain that the boy could see thanks to his byakugan. It was fast; even if the girl wasn't moving, the second that Ryuko moved out of the trajectory, it quickly changed position and began to chase him across the town.
"Giving me the cold shoulder? You are breaking my heart!" The boy exclaimed and let out a nervous giggle of excitement as the weapon chase him across the houses. The spinning sound of that blade slashing everything in its path—doors, windows, wooden walls, etc.—was ringing close to his ears. He realized that the girl didn't need mobility with such a long-range attack.
After a few seconds, Ryuko finally reached the girl and opened two scrolls near her, creating a massive gush of water for him to use as he set up his next tactic. However, Karui already saw this coming.
Ryuko quickly weaved hand seals and spit his syrup field jutsu all over the girl, creating this dense layer of mucus all around her to dampen her moments even more. The girl internally laughed at this gesture as she let the fuma shuriken and pointed at Ryuko with her index fingers as if she were making a finger gun.
The kunoichi shot multiple small senbon toward the redhead, which impacted his flesh at the same time that he threw at least five kunai with incendiary scrolls toward her. Both exchanged pain, and Ryuko could feel those needles sinking into his flesh as Karui was getting hot inside her armor. The explosions had not only heated the steel but also created this dense mist around her that blocked her vision for a few seconds.
She then felt a quick punch to her stomach, and the metal on her abs absorbed the impact completely as the girl quickly created multiple blades on that part to damage Ryuko's fist. The boy let out an excited moan of pleasure as he loved this exchange that creeped the kunoichi a little.
Karui hated this kind of man, the same type that saw her as nothing more than a breeding factory for babies as any men or woman with her bloodline. The girl was focused on being more than just a source of steel bloodline users; she was a proud kunoichi, and she would show that to her village.
"Got you!" Ryuko exclaimed as a shadow clone had managed to sneak behind her, using the mist as cover. Using the water that was left in the ground, he quickly made a small water prison around Karui that she quickly broke with just sheer strength. There was not enough liquid to make a proper prison, but that would be enough.
The combination of heat from the explosive scrolls and then the cooling of the water prison was enough to debilitate the armor, so Ryuko could land an explosive kick that broke part of the protection. On that second that Ryuko had before Karui closed the small hole, he had a chance to land a proper hit.
On that second, Ryuko pulled out one of his kunai that had the special seal of poison on its tip and stabbed the hole that quickly closed up. He only managed to get the tip in, but that was enough to penetrate Karui's skin and inject a huge dose of paralyzing poison.
The woman took a step back, using her chakra control to purge the toxins out of her body, but she knew that with that amount, the fight now had a timer on it.
"Incredible! R managed to break Karui's armor with a powerful kick!" Mabui exclaimed as the steam went away and the people finally could see what was happening.
Killer V was surprised that Ryuko managed to break that steel armor; not even Omoi was able to accomplish that feat. "Karui just got hit with a kick. Her armor broke, it happened quick," she rapped back, as this was it for the kunoichi.
She let out a frustrated groan, and in a second, the armor surrounding her fell to the ground. Now, only wearing her gi, she raised a hand and summoned a massive nodachi of pure steel.
Ryuko made a wide smile on his face and licked his lips, his hand still bleeding from the last punch. "Oh, giving up already?" The redhead teased her with a bratty tone as the woman went into a combat stance.
"You already injected me with your poison; there is no reason to keep using armor," Karui answered, her gaze focused on Ryuko, as part of her attention was on trying to keep the poison at bay. She had at most 30 seconds with her sword before being done.
As a way to show some respect, Ryuko also took a martial stance. "So I take that as a yes?" He answered, willing to see what else this warrior could do.
"I can defeat you before the poison has full effect!" The kunoichi exclaimed and charged toward Ryuko with her blade.
Ryuko welcomed these guts with a wide smile. He made a jump back and landed on the small bridge over the artificial river in the arena. With a quick hand seal, the boy had unleashed his tentacles. Two 1-meter-long tendrils of water formed in his hands as they were sharpened by the same chakra technique as the chakra scalpel. The boy could have used poison for them, but it was kind of a waste since he already had an almost lethal load inside her.
The second that the two clashed, the boy realized how powerful the steel release was. That blade changed shape with each swing; on a vertical slash, it would branch out like a blooming tree, creating dozens of small blades around it. Always changing, she added more blades as he tried to close the distance just to get cut back. Karui made sure to keep her body outside the 1-meter range of Ryuko with an avalanche of slashes. Even if his byakugan could keep with the chaotic style of fighting, his body was too slow from the weights, getting slashed multiple times.
Ryuko felt his stomach suddenly full as Katsuyu became as big as she could to better heal the boy's wounds. ("I am healing you, but she is doing too much damage. You should retreat.") The old slug suggested as Ryuko's skin was getting torn to shreds.
("What? No! I am having a blast!") Ryuko answered, as his mind was too focused on trying to solve this puzzle rather than his own safety.
The redhead jumped back as he weaved multiple hand seals and summoned at least ten water clones that jumped out of the river to ambush the girl. However, as they began to shoot a barrage of water bullets toward Karui, she spun in the air with her blade, launching a circular horizontal slash that shot crescent moon-shaped blades out of her nodachi. A massive barrage that allowed her to not only cut the water bullets in half but also each single clone. Even if her body was almost unable to move, the girl knew that if she landed another strike, the victory would be hers.
Ryuko was impressed; that woman was like a living thorn bush; he could not get a single strike in without being pierced or slashed. Blood began to drip around his clothes as it was clear that, without his poison, he would not have a single chance of winning. After all, he only managed to land a single strike while she had torn his body like a wild cat inside a birdcage.
The second that Karui landed on the wooden bridge, he launched another barrage of thick syrup over her, coating her body and making each movement even more difficult. On that second, the poison finally took effect. "Ah . . . ah . . . ah. . .I am actually surprised, you lasted more than I thought," Ryuko muttered as his blood began to mix with the water under the bridge. He had taken a lot of damage from that last interchange.
Karui felt it, her body going completely stiff as even talking was getting hard. "Do you think . . . this poison can hold me . . ?" she said, almost unable to move her lips. It was her defeat, then . . . why was Ryuko feeling so nervous?
Steel release worked in an interesting way; the closer the metal was to the user's body, the more precision she had in order to use it, and the stronger it was. That was why using her nodachi was so effective. However, at that moment, Karui came to a conclusion: what if she went deeper than her skin?
It was a loud and wet sound, followed by the familiar noise of blood dripping. Dozens of metal rods impaled the woman's body, from her legs to her arms, her torso, and even across her cheeks. She did her best to not hit any vital organ, but still, that was extremely painful. Then she made a step forward, using her ninjutsu to move those rods and, in exchange, her body. It was weird and unnatural, like a puppet without strings that somehow managed to move even though she should have already fallen to the ground.
"Impossible! Karui impaled her own body with metal rods in order to keep fighting!" Mabui exclaimed, unable to comprehend what she was seeing.
"Karui, what the fuck are you doing?!" Killer V exclaimed without rapping, as she was actually worried about her student's health.
"Oh, I love a girl with piercings," Ryuko muttered with a bratty smile, ready to answer this show of strength with the respect it deserved. He would not run and wait for the girl to run out of blood. It was stupid; it lacked any proper strategy, but in this place, he just felt that it was right.
("Can you keep me from dying? I am going to try to defeat her in melee range.") Ryuko asked the slug. The damage was building up on his body as Katsuyu could only use her medical jutsu to create more blood, but even that would be risky once Ryuko ran out of calories to turn into the precious vital liquid.
The old woman went silent for a second. A flashback from Hashirama ran across her head, from those fights with Madara. ("You know what? Sure, play young boy, play to your heart's content.") Katsuyu answered, willing to let her contractor indulge in the toxic nectar of fighting.
("You are the best, Lady Katsuyu!") Ryuko internally exclaimed as he took a step forward, facing the living torment of bloody steel.
Chunks of flesh flew across the field; blood splattered over the first as the crowd went silent. This wasn't a fight; it was a show of two bodies tearing each other apart. The fiery eyes of Karui, filled with a resolve stronger than her steel, clashed against Ryuko's sadistic smile, happy as a kid playing in the park with another.
There was this chorus of metal clashing as the blades blooming from the woman struck the boy's solid water tentacles. Even in that state, the two ninjas reached their peak speed, slash by slash, getting veins, arteries, and muscle fibers slashed. Since there was no reason for aiming at the tendons, Ryuko focused his strikes on bleeding out the girl, and Karui did the same. They both had forgotten the idea of landing a killing blow, as this had become a contest of pure endurance.
What would completely drain first in this arena? Kumogakure pride? Or Uzumaki blood?
The answer was clear after a few minutes of this storm of strikes and slashes. Karui stood tall in front of Ryuko, who was kneeling on the floor. His byakugan was blurry, and he was short of breath. The boy knew that he had run out of stamina and blood; this was a stupid idea. Even if he had more than enough chakra, the woman managed to overpower Katsuyu's healing with her blades alone.
"You are truly an amazing kunoichi. That was fun," Ryuko muttered with an honest tone and a wide smile on his lips. Karui was unconscious from the blood loss; the only thing keeping her standing was the metal still attached to her flesh, freezing the woman in a combat stance.
Having achieved his victory, Ryuko proceeded to tie her up with his hair, set up tourniquets around her wounds, and gag her so she did not swallow her own tongue. All while carrying her on his shoulder, the size difference made the girl's face rub against the boy's crotch as he took the kunoichi to the medical ninjas who came to assist her. Of course, for the public, it looked like he put Karui in some kind of bondage position.
"Incredible! The winner of this round is R! He is even using medical ninjutsu to heal his opponent before him." Mabui exclamied. Ryuko was such a good guy. He even made sure to firmly grab her ass with one hand so she would not slip and fall to the ground.
-x-X-x-
Karui woke up in a hospital bed, covered in bandages, as her body hurt like a bitch. "Fuck, did I lose?!" She exclaimed as it was already late at night, but not even a full day had passed.
"You stupid muscle head! It was a friendly tournament!" Samui yelled and slapped the back of her head. She hated each second of that fight; her girlfriend didn't need to put her life in danger for such a silly thing.
The redhead let out a moan of pain. "Oh, don't chew me out about this! I had to win against that asshole!" She barked back and rolled her eyes. It was clear that she was extremely frustrated by the defeat.
"Well, that asshole helped to heal you; he is not that bad . . ." Samui answered as her mind was puzzled about what to think about Ryuko.
"He did . . ." The redhead muttered as her mind was deep in thought.
"Well, R also left you a note," the blonde added, letting out a deep sigh.
Karui looked around the sterile room, looking for a piece of paper. "Where?" She asked, and then Samui grabbed a hand mirror and pointed to the woman's ass.
The redhead got up from the bed and watched with anger as Ryuko left a clear message tattoo on one of her asscheeks. "You owe me one -R." The boy took his time to slide that small note while the other medics were not looking. However, he told Samui about it when he left the hospital.
"Oh, I will kill him!" Karui screamed and made a jump that opened almost all of her wounds. She would spend some time recovering.
-x-X-x-
Late at night, Samui was in the village library doing research on her opponent. She had seen his two fights and came up with multiple ideas to deal with him, but the girl needed more information.
There were a few theories that Samui had in her mind. The first and most important fact was R's sheer durability and stamina. He was able to withstand a lot of damage, and the next few hours he was perfectly fine, not even talking about the amount of chakra that the boy had. Then there was the mystery of his mask, what was hiding, and most importantly, how he was able to dodge Omoi's third kata so easily and strike Karui with such precision while surrounded by steam.
The first mystery took her for a loop, as her research in the library was the source of the boy's endurance. There were only two possible options: he was a Senju or he was an Uzumaki. Both were almost extinct clans from Konoha and were good candidates for this theory. The main detail she found about this research was that the chance of him being an Uzumaki thanks to his red hair was better, but the conclusion was still the same. Trying to exhaust his chakra was a fool's errand.
She let out a deep sigh as the bright light of the massive library caressed the wooden stands and white tile floors. It was time to deal with the big mystery of that mask. The main theory she had was that R was hiding a dojutsu, since it was the most obvious option. There were two possibilities: the byakugan and the sharingan. The first one didn't make a lot of sense since those ninjas preferred close-range combat like taijutsu, as R did, but they never used elemental techniques, and his clan would not let him go to this village after the last political incident. A sharingan would be the most logical solution if it wasn't for the infamous Uchiha massacre. Only a bastard from any of those two clans would fit R. That only gave her one advantage: not using visual genjutsu on him. Samui had an idea about how to test which of them he had, but that would have to wait for the fight.
"Here, take some coffee," Karui said as she laid a coffee can next to the tired woman. The tall kunoichi was only dressed in a white hospital gown, catching the attention of the few people who were in this place at night.
Samui blushed, flashed by her girlfriend before the realization set in. "What are you doing here?! You should be in the hospital," she said, as Karui should be in bed recovering.
"Oh, I just escaped to help you," the girl muttered with a smug smile while sitting next to the blonde.
"You idiot . . . are you avoiding V?" Samui asked with a judgmental tone; after all, she knew how angry their teacher could get when they risked their lives doing something stupid.
Karui let out a nervous laugh. "Perhaps," she added with an awkward smile while looking over her shoulder just in case.
****
The next day, the two combatants were in the arena, ready to face each other in the final stage of the tournament. Samui was sure to win this fight with the last detail she found in the library last night; however, she still needed to test a thing or two.
"Welcome to the last day of the tournament; tonight for the big final, we have two amazing ninjas!" Mabui exclaimed as the whole public was ready to see the climatic end of this tournament. What was normally a show to allow the village ninjas to flex over the other villages had become an interesting event. Bets were 50/50 for the first time in years.
"For the end of this tournament, let's see Samui the snow bunny. Face off against R, the crimson bull so cunning and funny. In the icy ring where flakes will softly fall. They'll clash and compete, giving it their all," Killer V rapped, as she was sure that Samui would not do anything stupid and that she would win this fight. After they were done in there, she would have a long talk with Karui since the girl was slipping from her hands.
Samui took a deep breath as both decided to start this match on each side of the bridge over the river, relatively close to each other."You were impressive, R, but you have come to the end of the line," she complimented him with a cold face but an honest tone.
Ryuko let out a bratty chuckle. "Oh, I am sure I will come a lot at the end of this tournament," he muttered as the boy was ready to get a nice party after this fight was over. After all, he had almost a week's worth of semen to drain and a lot of cute girls who would more than gladly help him in that task.
Ryuko decided to start the fight being a little bratty and unleashed two massive scrolls with a special kind of concentrated aphrodisiac on the river, and then began to weave hand seals. He would use a nice and musky horny mist to turn the woman all hot and pent-up for him to play around with. The boy learned that mind-affective effects were better than normal paralyzation when dealing with bloodline users. After all, he kind of figured out the effects of her talent with her nickname and the evidence in the arena that the previous fight had left.
Samui didn't give Ryuko a second to be smart; she quickly began to weave hand seals, something rare for bloodline users, but for the next jutsu, she needed to do them. The mist that Ryuko was creating quickly turned into snow, flooding the battlefield with a thin layer of white snow instead of mist, neutralizing his jutsu.
"I will not let you poison me so easily," Samui muttered with a cold smile on her lips.
"I was just trying to have some fun; I am sure that Karui would have enjoyed the show," Ryuko answered with a bratty smile and blew a kiss toward the part of the stadium where the woman was seeing the fight to just get a dead glare as an answer.
"You bastard!" Karui exclaimed as she almost jumped into the arena before getting stopped by her companion.
"Calm yourself!" Omoi said as he did all in his power to stop getting V involved.
Not biting the bait, Samui quickly attacked Ryuko from range; she joined her hands as if she was praying and shot this ray of pure concentrated snow toward the boy. It was this constant stream of frozen water that slashed everything it was in its path, even cutting the house behind Ryuko trying to hit him, leaving a trail of snow on its path.
The boy ran forward, jumping into the river to dodge the stream of ice, and managed to get close enough to the kunoichi to land a powerful punch into her stomach. Samui managed to create a small layer of ice in the part to avoid the damage, but still, it took the air out of her lungs. However, that was all part of her plan.
The kunoichi clasped her hands, and from the trail of snow, small orbs of ice came and exploded behind Ryuko. A shower of shards of ice struck the boy from the back, he was able to see the projectiles coming but decided to take them. Why? Because that would reveal he had the byakugan.
As Ryuko kept charging forward and trying to hit the girl who was trying to run away from him, he began to feel strange. His movements were slow—too slow; he should have caught her. However, it wasn't poison, unless she had an even higher level of chemistry knowledge than him.
("Boy! Your body is freezing!") Lady Katsuyu warned him, as Ryuko's body was extremely cold and the slug could feel it from inside his stomach. The second that snow fell into the arena, Samui slowly but surely lowered the temperature of the ninja to freeze him to almost death and used a sensory genjutsu to make him ignore the change in temperature.
Ryuko smiled, quickly using his chakra to recover his temperature. "Touch based genjutsu?!" He exclaimed with a smug grin on his face as he jumped back, creating some distance between the two.
"Did your slug tell you about it?!" Samui answered back with a small smile on her lips now that her theory was confirmed. Ryuko had the sharingan and a summoning inside him, healing his wounds and maybe giving him access to acid.
"Oh, so you really did your homework?" The boy barked back with a teasing tone before getting shot with another snow stream.
Without wasting time, Ryuko dodged and began to weave hand seals, opening a seal in his clothes that unleashed a small amount of water and shot multiple water senbon from his lips. A heavenly weaping directly struck Samui's tenketsu points.
At the same time that Ryuko was using that jutsu, Samui decided to take a risk since the only way to defeat R was a one-shot attack. She decided to tank the strike and began to weave hand seals. From the snow around Ryuko, multiple walls began to enclose him; however, before they could get near the water projectiles struck her.
Samui's arms went limp as the snow burial was stopped, and her eyes widened as she was surprised that Ryuko decided to tank her attack to make this trap. He had played her like a fiddle.
Without wasting time, Ryuko opened the first and second gates and pounced toward Samui as if he was a hungry wolf towards a rabbit. He was ready to show this woman what was awaiting her once the tournament was over.
Ryuko went on the offensive, unleashing his taijutsu on the girl the second he had an opening. The boy went almost 100% serious, hitting her stomach, legs, arms, and face. However, he also went a little cheeky, using the chakra addiction technique on his fist, the same one that slapped Samui a few times in the face.
Samui tried her best to dodge those attacks, but without her arms, it was a hard task. She got beaten badly; each strike of those soft hands and feet felt like she was about to puke. Her head began to feel dizzy as the speed and strength of the boy were overwhelming. The kunoichi was not a frontline, and this really showed it.
"Come on! You know what I have. You ran out of tactics?! You didn't even make me show you the best animal companion in the world!" Ryuko exclaimed at the sound of his fist beating Samui rumbled across the arena and with a last kick, the girl flew across the street and crashed inside a house through a window. He really should rethink the idea of having the Shikkotsu forest kanji on his clothes.
Samui jumped back and began to use her snow without making hand seals."I am not done yet!" She exclaimed and gritted her teeth, trying to withstand the pain, as she summoned an avalanche of white snow rabbits to create some space between her and Ryuko.
The boy quickly dodged the attack and realized something: that snow was extremely chakra-dense, working as a small barrier to block his byakugan. A clever use of tactic, but with this speed, he could easily move around and get a glimpse of the woman as she began to use her bloodline without hands.
Snow flew across the battlefield, and it was clear that Samui was a lot slower than before as Ryuko could dance across her attacks. She didn't even use techniques such as the snow stream or the frozen nova.
Tired of playing around with this slippery bunny, Ryuko unleashed another water-poisonous scroll and spat a thick syrup barrage toward the woman to block her movement. Samui, seeing the attack coming as she thought about a way to deal with her arm conditions, quickly froze it, creating this wall of goo in front of her.
Ryuko immediately dashed the frozen water with an explosive kick, creating an explosion of shards that flew across the air and impaled all over Samui, causing some bleeding as she landed in the house's kitchens. At that moment, the kunoichi remembered her girlfriend's tactic. She began to manipulate the shards of ice in her body to move her fingers in order to do hand seals.
"Copying Karui? You don't have the stamina to do that," Ryuko said with a bratty tone, licking his lips as he was willing to keep the slapping going.
"I only need one jutsu!" Samui exclaimed as she gritted her teeth through the pain, made a few hand seals, and pressed her hands on the house floor. In a puff of smoke, her summoning appeared in front of the kunoichi.
It was a dog-sized white rabbit with a blue ninja outfit and a hood covering her face and only showing her big round eyes and those big fluffy ears. With a tanto on her back, she was without a doubt a ninja animal.
"You must be losing badly to summon me!" The bunny with deep purple eyes exclaimed.
"Chi! White mountain! Now!" Samui yelled as she braced herself for the impact that was coming.
Chi raised an eyebrow, surprised by the idea, as she pulled out her tanto and looked at the redhead. That symbol on the boy's shoulder sent a shiver down her spine. "Do you have enough chakra for that?!" She asked again with a worried tone. However, that was the only way to counter someone who summoned that monster.
"Just do it!" Samui finally said and both the kunoichi and the summoning made a hare seal at the same time.
("Oh, this is getting interesting . . .") Lady Katsuyu muttered inside Ryuko; she had not seen that jutsu since the warring state period.
("Would you like to join the fun?") Ryuko asked with a smirk on his face, of course, letting the girls do their interesting jutsu.
The old slug chuckled. ("I would find it lovely") She muttered inside the redhead that, finally, after so many years, she would show the ninja world the glory of Shikkotsu Forest.
Ryuko spit a small slug on the floor of the arena and then proceeded to summon herself to the battlefield. With a big explosion of smoke, an elephant-sized slug was in the middle of the street. The white and dark green slimy creature created a shock of awe in the spectators and a shiver of terror in those ninjas who knew about the legendary creature.
"Incredible! This is a genin summoning battle!" Mabui exclaimed as she hit the desk with her fist.
"In a slug versus bunny spree, who will win, you see? Will the slimy slug slither, or will the bunny hop free?" Killer V added, as she knew what was coming.
In a second, both Samui and Chi became this blob of snow that quickly spread over a small chunk of the arena. It was this wave of white snow that painted a block of the town with an ivory layer of frozen water. Ryuko, standing on top of the slug, looked around and was surprised by the fact that he couldn't find Samui. That chakra-dense snow made the ideal cover for the woman's chakra signature, which seemed to be fused with the substance.
("It is a jutsu similar to your Hidden in the Mist. However, it works by tracking the enemy body heat and automatically attacking anybody inside the snow field.") Lady Katsuyu explained. Both techniques came from the same land, so they have similar effects.
("Oh, I will just jump away!") Ryuko answered that was the easiest counter, as he made a massive jump in the air just to notice that the snow quickly followed him and shot multiple spikes in his direction. Using the mid-air jump given by his burst of chakra, he managed to dodge and land again on the old slug.
("That is the tricky part, boy; while one is maintaining the jutsu, the other is moving the snow field as they hide inside this trap.") Lady Katsuyu added that it was starting to get cold for her as the effect of the snow started to freeze this part of her. She needed to constantly summon the tiny slugs that worked as insulation from the snow, creating this smoke oozing from under her.
("Hashirama managed to beat it?") Ryuko asked.
("Well, it was Madara technically, but yes.") The woman said as the solution for that monster was really easy. Madara just blasted the whole White Mountain with a great fireball.
The redhead nodded, his body firing up. ("Then don't spoil the fun! I can also do it!") He added, ready to reach the same level as his predecessors.
("You are such a lovely boy,") the slug added with a teasing tone, She was starting to really like Ryuko.
