Kuze/Kiryu: Tch!

This fight has been coming for some time now. Kiryu felt almost nostalgic as Kuze beat him with his black stick. The struggle to fight Kuze brought him back to simpler times.

Kiryu: Hmph!

Switching to his rush style, Kiryu maneuvered around, Kuze, quickly switching to his beast style, Kiryu grabbed Kuze by the shoulder and threw him towards the building. Though old, this man was still nimble as a Shinobi.

Landing his feet onto the wall, Kuze cracked his neck, and waved for Kiryu to come over.

Kiryu: Old bastard... I'm not that kid anymore.

(Crack)

Kiryu: My attacks could actually kill you.

Kuze: Grow as many inches as you want. You're still a no good brat!

Kuze: What? You think just because you learned some fancy "sage" power, people will buckle under you!?

Kuze: Go on, use it!

Kiryu:...

Kiryu: "Sage Mode"!

Releasing the shadow clone he snuck out at the start of the fight, Kiryu unleashed Sage mode, leaping towards Kuze who blocked with his black stick.

Kiryu: That rod...!

Kiryu:(mind) Toad geezer had one too! It knocked all the nature chakra right out of me!

Kuze shoved Kiryu to the ground, dropping down with the black rod, which Kiryu now noticed was jagged at one end, as if one half of a broken piece.

Kuze: What now? I let you get off one, but not another one!

Changing to beast mode, Kiryu simply catches the rod before it could hit him. Kuze lands on top of Kiryu trying to push down the rod but unable to overpower Kiryu.

Kiryu kicked both of Kuze's legs, then pushed the rod away, launching Kuze into the air.

Getting up, Kiryu generated a massive Rasengan, catching the two other Jinchuriki's interests.

Kiryu: "Meteor Rasengan"!!

Upon contact, Kiryu found the Kuze he was fighting to be a water clone. With it gone, Kuze's true presence was made aware. Directly behind Kiryu, Kuze swung as he shifted his chakra to be in Rush style.

(THUNK)

Kiryu:?!

But something went wrong. Kuze struck Kiryu in the exact moment his chakra shifted. Kiryu felt stumbled forward as he felt nauseous. A similar sensation to bones popping but more violently and in places he never thought possible.

Kuze: Your style change is fancy, but it has a weakness that can be exploited.

Lifting his hand, he catches the black rod.

Kiryu, the Dragon of Konoha, stood wabbling. His Achilles heels shoved right in his face. The prep time of Sage mode, and the weakness of his iconic style changes.

Kuze twirled the black rod as he sauntered over to Kiryu.

Kuze: You're a lot if chakra with advance techniques.

Kiryu turned around to receive a smack across the face with the black rod. Kuze continued to smash this black rod across Kiryu's face as he shouted.

Kuze: Without that! You're just a suitcase for a weapon! That dragon!

(Smack)

(Smack)

(Smack)

Kuze: And after that!?

(Smack)

Kuze: You ain't jack!

(Smack)

Kuze: And you think you can come into MY home!?

(Smack)

Kuze: My little bunker!?

(Smack)

Kuze: After you humiliated me!?

(Smack)

Kuze: Ruined my first plan to protect my family from the Akatsuki!?

(Smack)

Kuze: Who you now hide from!?

(Smack)

Kuze: Who the hell do you think you are!?

(SMACK)

With a bloody and bruised face, Kiryu glared at Kuze with the black rod firmly against the side of his head, the last attack not making Kiryu move an inch.

Kiryu:...

He pulls out a cigarette.

And lights it.

Kuze:!?

Kiryu:(blows smoke)

Kuze:(gritting teeth) Y-You little...!!

Kiryu: Training... I feel as if that's all I've been doing recently.

Kiryu: Didn't really much care for learning to control this Dragon in me...

Kiryu: Thank you for showing me just how much I have to grow. How I can never stop growing.

Kuze: Those were not my intentions.

Kiryu:.....

Kiryu: Oh.

Kiryu: Anyway...

(Wooosh)

Pulling off his top, Kiryu spits his cigarette into Kuze's face. Chakra heat overtaking his body.

Kiryu: I LOOK FORWARD TRAINING WITH ALL OF YOU!!!!

(WHAM)

Punching Kuze, Kiryu sends him flying. Kuze becomes consumed by the heat and is unable to continue.

But now with his heat on display along with his tattoos, the two other Jinchuriki can't help but react.

Yugito clicked her tounge, looking down on Kiryu from atop the building with annoyance. Killer B sighed.

Killer B: Yo kid!

Kiryu: Hm?

Killer B: The name is B, without the double "E".

Kiryu:?

Kiryu: I'm Kiryu... Without an E too?

Killer B:...

Killer B: What's with the funky seal? It's got a weird deal.

Kiryu: Eh?

Yugito: Your body and chakra is mimicking the Dragon's. How is your seal doing that?

Kiryu: Will you train me to use the dragons power?

Yugito/Killer B: No.

Kiryu: Why not?

Killer B: Evil or not-

Yugito: Let him figure it out on his own.

Kiryu: Figure what out?

Yugito: If I told you, you wouldn't be figuring it out.

Killer B: A hint should be fine. As you, lady in the sky.

Yugito:(sigh)

Yugito: It's something you said...

Kiryu: Ugh... Where's Yamato? He seems like he'd be good with riddles.

Looking around, Kiryu saw no signs of Yamato who was busy with his own fight.

Kiryu: Hmm... Something I said...?

Kiryu:....

Kiryu: Ah!

Kiryu: "Alright, I'll buy porn for you"?

Killer B: When did you say that!?

Kiryu: A few years ago to this kid.

Yugito:(exacerbated) Not that far back... Today! To us!

Kiryu:....

Kiryu: "Teach me to use the Dragon's power"?

Killer B:(nods)

Kiryu: What's wrong with that?

Killer B: The Dragon is alive. It's its own being. To take is to give, to give is to take.

Kiryu:...

Yugito: A perfect Jinchuriki is someone who can come to an understanding with their beast.

Yugito: To become one.

Yugito: We cannot teach you to take their power. Only to help work together.

Kiryu and the Dragon both scoffed.

Kiryu: The Dragon refuses to let me lose.

Kiryu: And I refuse to let it win...

Kiryu: From the day I was born... I've been met with nothing but hardship because of him.

Kiryu: Though it's forged me into who I am... No child should ever have to "forged"!

Kiryu: I get it... Being trapped within me must suck. But I didn't choose this!

Kiryu: "Apologies" if I offended you two by referring to this Dragon as someone I can take from.

Kiryu: But as it stands, I need more power! I'll swallow my pride to make amends.

Kiryu: Just teach me what you can so I can gi fight!

Killer B: Good enough?

Yugito:(rolls eyes)... If we don't try, we might have a wild Dragon on our tails...

Kiryu: Well?

To be continued....
