Kapitel 213: Ch213. Ringo vs Yagura 1
Ringo slowly approached Yagura who was already waiting in the center of the Kuronami plains. As she looked around, she noted that it was really a bleak area with nothing extraordinary in it. Nothing anybody would mind losing no matter how much they wreck the place. Ringo's lips briefly twitched upward at that thought.
"You are taking your damn time, traitor!" Yagura sneered, only to receive a deadpan look from Ringo.
Ringo, on the other hand, was inwardly amused and simply kept her pointed gaze on the Fourth Mizukage chibi in front of her while raising her eyebrow as if he was a misbehaving child. It took a few moments but Yagura eventually noticed and flushed red from anger. Before he could say anything, however, Ringo started talking.
"You really are quite bad at taunting people, aren't you, boy?" Her even voice spread through the plains in a dismissive manner that told exactly what she thought about Yagura. "Traitor? Really? Is that supposed to make me angry or something?" Ringo mused. "For your information, child, I had a good reason to go rogue and I accepted the potential repercussions of it even before you even started attending academy. Not that it matters. In this world, only power matters."
Yagura's sneer increased the more Ringo talked. She not only tried to rationalize her turning traitor but she also had a complete disregard for him! He was a Kage, dammit!
"Fine then! If it's a power you respect, I shall show you exactly that. Let's begin!" Yagura coldly whispered.
Hearing him, Ringo gave him a patronizing smirk, "Stupid boy, the battle started the second we entered the plai-." She cut herself off mid-speech and performed the most casual step backward in the history of ninjas with a bored expression just as three sharp tendrils of water shot upwards impaling the place where she was standing not a second ago.
"I am quite aware." Yagura smirked at Ringo who still looked at him impassively.
What he didn't notice, however, was that her right hand was currently pointing downwards slightly in front of her. Lightning suddenly appeared on her outstretched pointing finger and crackled blue before a small beam zig-zagged forward, impacting the puddle from where the tendrils came from. As the Lightning Jutsu met the Water Jutsu, something never before seen happened that had the spectators knowledgeable in the Water and Lighting Chakra natures all over the continent gaping silly.
Yagura's water chakra in the puddle and the water tendrils completely destabilized when it came in contact with Ringo's Lightning Jutsu, causing them to fall apart, back into the puddle.
Yagura's smirk fell as he stared in muted disbelief at what just happened. It was a known fact that Lightning counters Water but that didn't mean Water was powerless against Lightning. It just meant it would take either more water or more water chakra to overpower lightning-based techniques. Considering they were currently in the WATER country, surrounded by many WATER sources that could power up his Jutsu and significantly cut their chakra cost, Yagura wasn't very worried about Ringo and the meager amount of Lightning she would be able to call forth by utilizing only her chakra reserves. The sight of a small, powerless bolt of lightning completely disrupting his Water Jutsu made him rethink his previous assumptions, however. Especially since no matter how he tried, he couldn't take control of the water in the puddle near Ringo again.
"I know." Ringo's voice snapped Yagura out of his reverie but it was far too late as the pointing finger on her right hand was already firmly aiming at his forehead. "Chidori Nagashi."
The whole Elemental Nations, and especially one masked white-haired always-depressed young man, watched in bewilderment as the current of lightning tore its way through Yagura's head near instantaneously while the man's face was set in disbelieving expression. For a moment, the world grew quiet as Yagura just stood rooted in his spot before his tensed body finally slacked towards the ground as his eyes rolled back.
"Oh, well... I told you I knew." Ringo offhandedly noted as her eyes flickered to the left while her left gloved hand balled in a fist jumped up, blocking the tip of Yagura's staff with her knuckles, causing her to be sent sliding on the ground for five meters.
Ringo furrowed her brows as she looked at her right hand, shaking it slowly. "Damn... that slightly stung." She hummed in a content manner while inwardly pondering one of her inventions, the force redirection gloves she was currently wearing.
Yagura watched unnerved, not expecting to be able to send her back only for five meters. Not when he put so much chakra into enhancing that one blow in that ambush.
'What the heck is she made of?' Yagura inwardly screamed as his hands and staff couldn't stop shaking, 'More importantly, what the heck was that lightning Jutsu!? It was damn near instant! My water clone had no chance to even notice it before he was destroyed.' He shivered in a determination to not be hit by it.
It was then Yagura noticed how impassive Ringo looked. She didn't even draw the blades on her waist nor did she take a proper stance. She just stood in her spot, slightly slouched as if it was a bother to even be there as she inspected her gloved left hand with a look of brief annoyance, completely ignoring him.
Anger suddenly sprang up in Yagura. This was not some private duel! This was as much a battle as it was a show to the whole Elemental Nations! He couldn't be seen as weak! Despite that, his opponent didn't even look as if she was even properly paying attention to him!
Yagura knew that Ringo had her senses on him non-stop. He knew she was watching him like a hawk. Any high-ranking ninja knew that. But the wealthy civilians, chunin, and genin-ranked ninjas? The woman was making him look weak!
Yagura sprang forward straight at Ringo whose lips set in a small smile. He brandished his staff at Ringo, his eyes flickering around, trying to find where she will dodge or if she will block. What counter will she use...
And suddenly, the staff landed on Ringo's body as she just indifferently stood in her place with an amused expression, causing Yagura to stop in his tracks for a second.
Yagura stared at Ringo in disbelief.
Ringo stared at Yagura in mirth.
"Is that all?" She suddenly asked, snapping Yagura out of yet another brain freeze as he took a half-step back mostly on instinct and started raining blow after blow on Ringo's body.
Many spectators winced as they watched the brutal beatdown Yagura was currently administering to the crimson-haired beauty.
Shoulder, stomach, collar bone, ribs, thigh, knee, back to stomach... and so it went as the tip of Yagura's staff violently danced all over Ringo's unmoving body until...
Yagura suddenly tried to hit Ringo's head, only for her to lean it to the left, evading the blow. He tried again but the result was the same and so in a fluid motion, his staff once again found purchase on Ringo's shoulder.
The more blows Yagura landed, the more frustrated he was becoming. The spectators couldn't see it but the madwoman was grinning at him! There was not even a speck of pain in her expression. She was still looking at him in that patronizing way as if he was a small kid throwing a tantrum! He was moving at above-jonin speed and hitting her with strength that would flatten average jonins for fucks sake and she was acting as if she didn't even feel it!
Suddenly, Yagura's eyes wandered to Ringo's foot and shone with hope. He quickly redirected his staff mid-swing and stomped with its tip onto the center of said foot. The ground beneath Ringo's foot slightly caved in as cracks appeared around him, causing Yagura to smirk in content.
That slight lapse in guard cost him dearly. He was too close to her and stopped his mad onslaught of blows. In one move, Ringo put her hand on the handle of her sword and in one fluid move, she partly unsheathed it while putting a lot of chakra to enhance her blow before driving its pommel into Yagura's stomach, raising his feet from the ground as his body bend in the waist and was sent flying backward for a bit.
Huffing, Ringo rolled her shoulders as she watched the Fourth Mizukage land on his feet, swaying from the blow she just gave him. Her body felt... fine. A bit sore but fine. 'I guess the force redirecting full-body suit is a smashing success.' A sweet smile bloomed on her face.
Seeing such a satisfied and carefree smile on his opponent's face, Yagura's mind rapidly pushed any discomfort and pain from the previous blow away as he snarled, his eyes still looking at Ringo's foot. 'Why isn't it broken!? With the strength I put into that blow, at least some of the small bones in her foot should have snapped!'
Noticing his look, Ringo's smile widened, "I am currently testing a suit that can redirect force through its surface. Meaning, no matter how hard your hit is, I will barely feel a small percentage of its power." Ringo uncaringly shrugged before a sudden thoughtful frown appeared on her face before she added, "Naturally, it requires a special way of molding a Lightning chakra so only I can use it." She lied through her teeth to the entire Elemental Nations so nobody would pester her in order to sell it.
In one particular room in the Capital City of the Land of Water, Konan alongside Tsunade snorted and Ao groaned at the obvious lie while Rei only thanked god that the lie would be obvious only for those who knew Ringo.
Catching his breath, Yagura straightened up again, "I am done playing with you." He said through his gritted teeth but Ringo only looked at him curiously which drove him even more sparse.
Out of nowhere, his body was coated in a dark orange shroud of chakra, and Ringo's smile dropped, her face for the first time donning a dead-serious expression.
"Damn... I wanted to leisurely test more of my inventions. Give me a break, kid."
Yagura snarled.
Kapitel 214: Ch214. Trying out knick-knacks
Ringo's shoulders sagged as she reluctantly watched one orange tail forming behind the chakra cloak of Yagura. She knew going against a jinchuuriki while fooling around is stupid.
"Since you want to play it that way..." Ringo discontentedly muttered, more for herself than others. Suddenly, the air around her shimmered and her voice reverberated through the plains, "Lightning Susanoo!" Instantly, blue armor similar to what samurai wore made of lightning sprang up around Ringo, covering her lithe form.
The second those words left Ringo's mouth, every Uchiha who ever heard of Mangekyo Sharingan stiffened. It was not only Uchiha's either. Many high-ranking old ninjas who knew about the special ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan had their eyes bulging out after seeing the armor covering Ringo. It might have been only a human-sized armor but it was far too reminiscent of the real Susanoo that sent a shiver through the spines of these people. After all, Ringo Ameyuri was not an Uchiha. Worse yet, she didn't have Sharingan. This moment would cause many doubts and speculations among the higher-ups of the hidden villages.
Yagura didn't wait for the special moment to end. His mind starting to give in to the influence of the bijuu chakra, he instantly lunged at Ringo while she just leisurely summoned a sword through a modified summoning seal on her wrist. Yagura neared Ringo with speed only rarely seen in the Shinobi world, showcasing why he deserved the title of Kage. Ringo simply lowered herself into a basic stance, patiently awaiting her opponent to enter the range of her blade.
No threats or useless banter was exchanged as it was quite pointless at the second Yagura started using bijuu chakra. Now was the time for power to do the talks.
Ringo's sword and Yagura's staff met... but instead of the expected struggle of strength, Yagura's weapon was pushed back by an invisible force upon the clash, throwing his arms a bit off and disrupting his balance.
'Oomph...' Ringo huffed in surprise as the strength she had to put into that single clash was far more than she expected. 'Damn, the kid indeed do pack a punch.' She frowned, unhappy with the performance of the sword she was holding.
Bewilderment momentarily appeared on Yagura's face, only for fury taking its place a second later as he reaffirmed his footing and attacked the patiently waiting and pondering Ringo again.
Violent clashes resounded through the plain, leaving many cracks and small craters on the ground as both combatants had extremely enhanced strength, either due to a bijuu cloak or a full-body elemental chakra armor. Every time the two ninjas clashed, Yagura was pushed back by an invisible force while Ringo's frown was increasing.
Suddenly, after fifty or so exchanges, Ringo's sword cracked when Yagura's staff smashed into it. Yagura's hands were yet again thrown off their intended course, pushing his body backward which gave Ringo the necessary time to do something she did for the first time in their duel. She lifted her left foot and strongly kicked Yagura's gut, sending his body crashing a few hundred meters away while bouncing numerous times off from the ground.
As Yagura was no longer an immediate concern, Ringo set her eyes on the now cracked blade of her experimental sword and wryly sighed. 'It's not really what I expected. I wanted our chunin to have at least a chance against a jinchuuriki with it but the amount of power I have to exert to not be blown away in a clash is not something an average chunin possesses. Not to mention it couldn't really withstand even fifty clashes with Yagura. Nope, this one is clearly a failure.' She let the sword go with disappointment showing on her face just as the blade finally succumbed to the crack and splintered into many pieces.
Ringo, however, was totally oblivious to the fact that a normal non-chakra metal blade withstanding fifty clashes with a jinchuuriki was abnormal or that expecting a chunin to be able to put up a fight against a jinchuuriki was madness in itself, no matter what tools he had. No... Ringo's experimental sword was something extremely useful as a weapon that could imbalance opponent upon each clash was something ground-breaking in the fights between more evenly matched opponents and could give the user an incredible advantage in the form of an opening. After all, the sword managed to make even a jinchuuriki imbalanced.
Alas, in Ringo's eyes it was simply not good enough while leaders of various villages could only drool as they watched the effects of the sword, many making a note to discuss potential sales with Ringo after the fight.
Ringo yet again made use of her summoning seals on her wrists and four daggers appeared in her hands. She leisurely threw one a few feet in front of her and one on either side of her before taking a step back just in time to avoid a punch from enraged Yagura who now sported two tails and hatefully growled at her.
Curiously lifting her eyebrow, Ringo threw the last dagger near her feet and watched the effect as a seal appeared in the place in between the four daggers, the same place where Yagura was currently standing.
Yagura wanted to throw himself back at Ringo and continue his onslaught. He was now completely assured that leaving the woman time to make plans and prepare would be foolish. He had to push her and force her to make mistakes before capitalizing on them! He still held the edge in physical power and from what he saw speed. Although he wouldn't put it past his opponent to downplay her real speed. She was a Lightning User and Yagura was not stupid enough to not figure out she was most likely much faster than him once she actually decided to go all out. No... he had to use her playful approach towards their battle and score a solid hit.
There was a bit of a problem, however. The air around him stiffened and he was unable to move as a massive pressure landed on his shoulders. Yagura instantly noticed the seal under him and then he noticed the four daggers on the ground that clearly anchored the seal.
'What the heck is with this woman!? How many chakra weapons with special effects does she have? Did nobody bothered to tell her that they are supposed to be rare!?' Yagura mentally grumbled while using his chakra cloak to force himself free from the seal.
Ringo critically watched as the restriction seal created by her four experimental daggers slowly but surely gave out as Yagura's body started to regain its mobility. Sighing she took out a pink rubber duck from her wrist seal before casually throwing it at the still mostly immobilized Yagura.
The entire plains suddenly quieted down as the spectators watched in muted bewilderment when the duck impacted Yagura's forehead... and harmlessly bounced off, only causing his head to whip back, creating an awkward situation.
Yagura's eyes stared upward with utter lack of comprehension of what just happened. Shame started to rise inside of him. 'So... she is not satisfied with using her weird weapons. Now she is even throwing toys at me?' Yagura ever-so-slowly lowered his gaze back onto the amused Ringo who watched him with almost a clinical degree of scrutiny. He had had enough. Clearly, two tails of his bijuu cloak simply won't cut it. It was time to go all out.
And then he froze.
'HOW!?' Yagura frantically screamed as he noticed that he was no longer clad in his chakra cloak.
Ringo watched the spectacle in satisfaction, 'Aha! My anti-jinchuuriki Duckie worked! His connection with the bijuu was cut and the chakra cloak dissipated.' She giddily noted.
Ringo's merry mood didn't last long as Yagura's expression set itself in a cold facade. "I've had enough." He stated, his tone betraying the degree of rage he was feeling. And then... red.
Ungodly waves after waves of chakra sprang up from Yagura, pressing on the land around as earthquake shook the plains. Strong winds swept the surroundings with extreme pressure, making Ringo slightly bend her knees in order to withstand it. Orange chakra seeped from Yagura, expanding and slowly starting solidifying, gaining greyish color.
It took barely a second but Ringo now found herself facing a few stories tall form of the Three-Tailed Bijuu who was glaring at her with all the anger Yagura could muster.
"Er... the Duckie only cuts the connection between the host and the bijuu, not seal it. Hence, the jinchuuriki can reconnect to his bijuu almost instantly. A desperate need for improvement is duly noted." Ringo nodded to herself as she stared at the behemoth in front of her.
