Ryu had entered the state he had after defeating Shojo as black and red light burst away from him.

Ryu: Pretty cool. I think I'll call this Wolf Emperor.

Karma: Amazing. It's not too different from us but you've barely taken that much of an animal form. Maybe it's because of your bond with, Shojo, was it?

Ryu: You think so?

Azure: Well in any way it's impressive. I'll tell you now some does and don't in this premature state. You're pretty green with it so it's a bad move to use long lasting Shadow Clones. That's gonna cut the time by a good bit.

Ryu: Well Shadow Clones aren't a main part of my fighting style so no biggie.

Azure: Also, don't use this power at random. It's tempting but it's taxing. You have Chakra Reserves that I've never seen from an actual human. I have a feeling the sheer amount of Chakra you have on your own is at least the Full Nine Tails.

Ryu: You're joking right?

Karma: No. The reason why you get tired sooner is because you unconsciously used it to keep you're Immortal Spirits Chakra in check so you don't use it all the time. It's like a built in instinct all Beast Warriors have.

Ryu: I see. I never had that much before, so Shadow must've had a lot of my Chakra too.

Azure: This is the basis of the form. It allows you to unleash your maximum capacity of chakra and grants you unbelievable physical prowess not unlike the 8 Gates but it doesn't break you down.

Karma: But in exchange it drains your chakra by insane amounts.

Hearing this made Ryu return to base.

Ryu: There any way to counter this?

Azure: Not that I know. You can only train and adapt to for it to decrease.

Ryu: Fine then. Anyway we've wasted enough time. Let's get going.

They both held onto Ryu had teleported them to the Kunai Haku had.

Ryu: Yo.

Haku: RYU?!!

Ryu saw there was an army of White Zetsu.

Ryu: Damn, a whole hot mess of these guys.

Haku: Ryu you have to stay back it's-

Ryu: Haku, I love you, but before you say ANYTHING else, remember that I'm still the strongest of the 5 Kage.

Haku: I... *Sigh* Just please be careful, things have gotten really out of hand fast!

Azure: Talk later, get your head in the game!!

Ryu had began to shred through the Zetsu army and searched around for any powerful Chakra's.

Ryu: Ok, there are a lot! I'll mark all the battle fields!

Ryu threw many guided kunai all across the battle fields before teleporting to the strongest source. What he saw confused him entirely. A Blue Susanoo was wiping out the Shinobi Alliance.

Ryu: The hell?!!

Quickly thinking Ryu had activated his own Human Susanoo catching the attention of everyone on the Battle Field.

Ninja1: ANOTHER SUSANOO!!!!

Ninja2: WAIT I CAN SEE SOMEONE IN IT!!!

Kai and Mei who were watching as well were shocked.

Kai: Is that Ryu?

???: A Susanoo Eh? I haven't seen one other than my own in a very long time.

Ryu summoned up a scythe looking at who was there recognizing the face from books and statues.

Ryu: No doubt about it. You're the real Madara.

Madara deactivated his Susanoo as Ryu did the same.

Onoki: Lord Hokage, why are you on the battle field?!!

Gaara: We all agreed that it was too dangerous for you to come!!

Ryu: Do you expect to take down a monster like that alone? From what I just saw you need me.

Madara: Those eyes. An enhanced Rinnegan mmm?

Ryu dashed towards Madara as he dodged an incoming punch. Madara began fighting back as Ryu seemed to struggle to dodge the strikes being sent at him. Getting serious he entered Wolf Emperor form and combated Madara gaining the upper hand. A Clone of Naruto was watching shocked.

Naruto: No way, Ryu is holding his own against that freak?!

Increasing his speed rapidly Ryu started to land consecutive blows in Madara shocking him.

Madara: 'He's much different.'

He drove his elbow into Madara's stomach sending him up into the air before he teleported behind Madara punching rapidly and slamming him into the ground with a kick. Madara landed on his feat before preforming hand signs.

Gaara: WATCH OUT!!!

Naruto: HE'S GONNA USE A CRAZY FIRE JUTSU!

Ryu: ALREADY KNOW WHICH!!

Ryu sped through the same hand signs breathing in.

Ryu/Madara: MAJESTIC DESTROYER FLAME!!!

He both breathed out a see of flames cancelling each other out with Ryu beginning to fall and gain ground. Madara had stopped before moving away. Ryu grabbed a knife and flung it as Madara who dodged but found it was being jabbed in his side by Ryu. He jumped away but found that Ryu was in front of him with a Rasengan in hand. In a split second Madara's eyes changed as Ryu saw this before teleporting himself back and saw that they had became Rinnegan.

Ryu: What the hell is going on?! Him too?!!

Naruto: H-How come that Madara guy has the Rinnegan?!

Madara leapt away onto a cliff with a scent that was familiar to Ryu.

Ryu: Kabuto!!

2nd Tsuchikage (Kabuto): A nose as sharp as ever Ryu.

Madara: What have you done to this body?

2nd Tsuchikage (Kabuto): I told you, you're better than at the peak of your power.

Madara: You misunderstand. This is not power of your Creation!!!

Madara clasped his hands together as some of his Susanoo flared to life. Above them everyone saw something falling. Some Shinobi dropped their weapons and even lost the will to fight.

Gaara: Is this the power of a God?

Ryu: -_- I just wanna say this from the bottom of my heart. Fuck. You. Author.

A massive meteor was above them.

Ryu: EVERYONE GET AWAY!!!!

Ryu activated his Susanoo as it began to changed and evolve. It began much larger and even grew wings.

Madara: Hm, this boy is quite different. However small it is right now, that is still a Perfect Susanoo.

It flew up to the meteor as Ryu used a familiar Jutsu on a much more massive scale.

Ryu: WOLVES CLAW!!!

The stuck his hand out striking the massive rock and blasting it into 4.

Ryu: HA!! NICE TRY JACKASS!!! NEXT TIME GIVE IT YOUR A GAME!!!

Madara: Impressive, but what do you plan on doing about the next?

Ryu: The fucking what?

They all looked up seeing a second in toe. Ryu flew up to try and stop it but found that the weight was much more than even he could handle. That's when he saw Onoki there using a Jutsu to lighten the mass.

Ryu: Onoki?!

Onoki: Say nothing and just push!!!

They did so and managed to stop the attack.

Ryu: Alright, now what?!!

Madara: I don't think you understand the position you are standing in right now.

They heard another sound as Ryu seemed to deadpan.

Ryu: -_- Somehow I get the sneaking suspicion that THIS isn't something that should've happened.

A THIRD meteor had crashed as Onoki looked at Ryu.

Onoki: GO NOW LORD HOKAGE!!! YOU ARE NEEDED IN THIS BATTLE!!!

Ryu looked at Onoki before diving out of his Susanoo and using flying Raijin to Teleport away. As he did that he gritted his teeth.

Shojo: Ryu, Onoki was right. You're a vital part of this battle.

Ryu: Shojo? I thought you were resting.

Shojo: I don't need that long to recover. Anyway you have to remember, you have new power than can sway the war if you keep your confidence.

Ryu: But you saw what happened!

Shojo: I saw that you wavered. You lost confidence when you fought Madara and that's why you couldn't do much. You're so much stronger than that. If you can beat me, you can beat him.

Ryu letting the words she spoke to him echo through his mind took a deep breath. He brought his hands up slapping his face. After doing so he seemed much more calm.

Ryu: Use everything in my bag of tricks.

Ryu teleported back to the battle seeing that there was wood all over.

Ryu: Wood style huh? Makes sense how he was able to get the Rinnegan.

Ryu walked forward calming himself as his chakra seemed to flare. Madara was the first to see him.

Madara: So a Teleportation Jutsu? That explains why you were nowhere to be found a moment ago.

Ryu: Talk your shit while you can Madara. Because now-

Sage Mode markings appeared in his eyes as he clenched his fist.

Ryu: I'm not running.

Gaara: Ryu you can't fighting that man on your own is suicide!

Naruto: Yeah, be reasonable!!

Ryu: Gaara, trust me. And Naruto, you should know better than anyone that I don't risk my life for no reason at all.

Ryu continued to walk forward past them.

Madara: Fine, let's resume our little dance.

Madara launched himself from the cliff towards Ryu. Everyone expected him to have moved out of the way immediately but to their surprise Ryu had caught the fist of Madara. This wasn't nearly as shocking as Ryu throwing Madara into the cliff.

Ryu: Naruto, go now!!

Naruto: You too Ryu?

Ryu: You're needed other places too and here's the most dangerous!! Believe in everyone and go!!

Naruto looked at Ryu before he nodded as the Shadow Clone dispersed. Madara came out of the cliff tried to punch Ryu. Before it could land however he was gone.

Madara: I see, so he uses an Advanced Flying Raijin.

He felt something hit him in the side of his head and found that Ryu reappeared kicking him. He corrected himself mid air skidding back while also seeing that Ryu arrived in front of him catching a punch.

Madara: Your speed by itself is something that is remarkable in it's own right!

He seemed to get excited before fighting back. The two stayed in hand to hand combat with Madara realizing he was unable to land a blow on Ryu anymore.

Shojo: That's the way Ryu, just like that.

Madara kicked him back preforming hand signs. That's when the nature around them started to grow.

Madara: Wood Style: Deep Forest Bloom!

Tree roots went towards Ryu as he created a white sword slashing them apart with Madara taking note of it.

Madara: So the boy can utilize Yang Release. By manipulating the light around him he's able to make that blade.

Ryu continued to lash the roots apart until he noticed sand flying around and stunting the growth of it.

Ryu: Gaara?

He turned around seeing that Tsunade and the other Kage were flying on sand clouds. Immediately focusing back up he had dodged a Kunai thrown by Madara while sneakily marking it and throwing it back at Madara who dodged to the left narrowly avoiding a wolves claw to the chest.

A: Lord Hokage, we shall back you up in this battle!!

Ryu: Thank you, but this battle is gonna start escalating quickly, so I'll need you all to only support when I give the command.

He looked back at them.

Ryu: Unless you think you can deal with a Perfect Susanoo.

Tsunade: A Perfect Susanoo?!

Madara: So you could tell.

Ryu: What you said before tipped me off. "However small it is right now, that is still a Perfect Susanoo".

Madara: Preceptive aren't we? Alright, I'll humor you. But first just to keep them occupied.

He preformed a hand sign as clones made out of wood formed around him all leaping to the five Kage.

Madara: Now I've got a question for you. Would you like these clones to use Susanoo or not.

Ryu: -_- Black. Air Force. Energy.

All the Madara's glowed in a blue flame as Ryu seemed to glow in a black and red one.

Madara: Now witness my full power!

Madara's chakra burst into a giant Armored Susanoo doing a hand sign. Ryu did the same as his own Susanoo had become larger before both of theirs entered a Perfect State.

With Madara's being a substantial 30 meters taller than Ryu's.

Ryu: Now I get why you said small...

Raikage: I can't believe it...

Mei: If we try to join that battle we're liable to be crushed...

Tsunade looked at Ryu with keen eyes.

Tsunade: You can defeat him...

Madara: The only one who could take me on is Hashirama. Do you really think you have what it takes?

Ryu: Let's find out.

With surprising speed Ryu's Susanoo shoulder bashed Madara's in the chest making it stumble back. That's when he held his hand out creating a massive scythe. Madara grabbed the sword on his Susanoo's side as the blades clashed causing a massive shockwave.

Madara: I understand now. You intentionally have made your Susanoo smaller in order to gain speed and agility while not losing much power.

Ryu: I've got raw strength to hang with the best of them but I choose to fight smarter. Sure you can try beating your way through an impact resistant armor but that'd take all day. Which is why in those cases, you've gotta use something to pierce through.

They continued to fight as the battle effected everywhere. Ryu had ducked under the giant slash with the wave destroying the top of the mountain. Madara had moved out of the way of a scythe attack as the air pressure went up splitting the clouds. He stabbed the blade into the ground before punching the giant blue Susanoo in the chest as Madara seemed to grin a bit.

Madara: Alright, I'll admit it: You are something special boy! You're Chakra plus that Immortal Spirits rise past even Hashirama in his prime!

Ryu: I guess it's better to have a Legends approval than not.

They grabbed their blades and clashed once again with Ryu noticing something.

Ryu: 'ARGH, SCREW OFF WOLF EMPEROR DRAIN!!!'

Madara slowly began to overpower him realizing what was happening.

Madara: You must've recently unlocked this power. It's impressive you could handle it for this long, but insulting that you think you could've beaten me with some unrefined power.

Madara continued to push down as Ryu struggled.

Ryu: 'Come on!! Come on!!'

He was pushed down as he went back to his normal form as the ground caved bellow him as the Susanoo began to waver. The next time be blinked he was in his mind scape yet again.

Ryu: I'm starting to get really sick of timing out.

Shojo: Wow, you definitely need some help huh?

He turned around seeing Shojo there.

Ryu: Hey Sho. Don't mind me, just fighting for my life along with the- ENTIRE Shinobi World!! What could possibly make you bring me here?! Cause if I'm right, there's no way that I can get some bullshit power up to help me survive in this situation!!

Shojo: You sure about that?

Ryu: ... Explain.

Shojo: It might not be bullshit, but just a theory.

Ryu: Spill it damnit! Can't make the situation worse!

Shojo: Well, you know how the form takes your chakra right?

Ryu: That was apparent.

Shojo: Well, I think I realize why. It's because while I'm not doing anything I was unconsciously taking your chakra.

Ryu: ... WHY?!

Shojo: Now in my offense, it's because I was just letting you do your own thing.

Ryu: -_- Great.

Shojo: But if me not bothering to do anything was the cause, all we have to do is make a joined effort.

Ryu: How will me do that.

Shojo held out her hand with a smile.

Shojo: Bond our Chakra's together.

Ryu: Please don't tell me you mean some Chakra tug of war again.

Shojo: For a genius you're pretty dumb sometimes.

Ryu: -_-

Shojo: Though it would be kinda-

He flicked her on the forehead hearing that.

Ryu: -_- Don't even think about it.

She stuck tongue out playfully.

Shojo: When we do this, there isn't gonna be a way for us to separate ever again. Your soul and mine will be linked for the rest of eternity.

Ryu didn't say anything as he locked hands with the wolf. This shocked her as he didn't even hesitate.

Ryu: You make it sound like it's gonna be a bad thing.

She saw a bright smile on his face as she in turn smiled. A black and white light surrounded the two as the ends of Ryu's hair also became an even deeper crimson red than it usually did. In the real world chakra burst from the Susanoo.

Madara: Hm?!

Onoki: What in the world just happened?!

Ryu's Susanoo began to disappear with a red light forming from the smoke. When it cleared Ryu was there but his hair was different as his eyes where also back to normal but slitted.

Gaara: What just happened?

Ryu stood clenching his fist a few times.

Madara: Well? What new trick have you showed me now?

Ryu: So, this is it huh?

Shojo: How do you like it?

Ryu looked up as his eyes morphed into Rinnegan once again.

Ryu: Feels pretty good.

He looked up at Madara in his Susanoo.

Ryu: Hope you don't mind being my test dummy.

His Susanoo came back but this time it was equal in size to Madara's.

Madara: I see that we've both gotten serious!

CHAPTER END!!
