An attack suddenly came towards Tate.
Shiro realized it and pushed him away allowing him to avoid the attack.
However, the attack then went towards Tsurugi who was sleeping at that moment.
"Enhanced form."
Shiro used his enhanced form to boost his speed.
Which allows him to outspeed the attack and carry Tsurugi out of harm's way before the attacker can harm her.
"Who is there?"
Tate yelled out.
"You are not an ordinary kid. Aren't you?"
Ryan said as he walked out of the shadows while holding his sword.
"You. You are the guy that attacked us on our way to the village." Tate said as he pulled out his kunai.
But it was knocked away from his hand immediately by the attack from Ryugan's sword.
"I will take care of you first."
Ryugan then tried to attack Tate from afar after his kunai was knocked away but before his water dragon sword could pierce Tate's body the boy used the back of his fist to knock away the attack.
"It seems you got some skills."
Ryugan complimented Tate.
Of course, Ryugan has a cocky and arrogant attitude so he is not the type to compliment someone if he thinks that they are superior to him.
He complimented Tate because he was confident that he could beat the boy.
"Fire Style Flame Bullet."
Shiro used his chakra to create a small amount of oil in his mouth which was spit out and ignited towards Ryugan.
Ryugan backed away so he was able to dodge the technique.
"You," Ryuagan said as he looked at Shiro.
"Where do you think you are looking? Take this Vacuum Palm."
Tate attacked Ryugan while he was distracted by Shiro.
He was nearby so he was hit in the stomach by Tate's attack.
"That must be the attack that Sensei taught you," Shiro said to Tate.
Before they were allowed to take on a C-rank mission Hayama their Jonin teacher made them learn at least one C-rank ninjutsu from him.
For their safety in case of an emergency like this.
"!"
"Hey. Where did you put Tsurugi?"
Tate asked Shiro when he realized that she was not with him anymore.
"I took her into a place where she can be safe. This is just a Shadow clone."
Shiro explained.
"That makes it easier. A clone is much weaker than the original. I will kill both you and the girl after killing him off."
Ryugan said as he ran towards Tate with a creepy smile on his face.
But he was intercepted by Shiro who was using enhanced form.
The air around him was even visible because of Shiro's immense speed.
"Such speed."
Ryugan said with a pissed-off expression.
"Now to finish you off."
Shiro then pulled out his katana and tried to slice off Ryugan's body.
Ryugan ducked and avoided the attack but Shiro quickly swept Ryugan's legs and made him fall to the ground before the Dragon sword man could counterattack him.
He then quickly kicked away Ryugan who was on the ground causing him to smash into the hut that Shiro and others rested in at a very fast speed.
Ryugan coughed up blood as he was kicked in the stomach by Shiro who was using his enhanced form to multiply his powers.
Ryugan got up.
His eyes convey a message that he wants Shiro dead.
He then swipes his sword and releases four water dragons from his sword.
Shiro's eyes turned pink for a second as he tried to use his controlling ability to make him drop his sword and disable his attack.
But it was not successful.
He is stronger than me huh? Shiro thought in his mind as he dodged the attack that Ryugan released upon him.
"Hey. Aren't you forgetting someone?"
Tate said as he appeared behind Ryugan to launch a punch.
But Ryugan used his right foot to kick Tate's arm upwards causing him great pain.
"Ahhhhhhh," Tate yelled out.
"Focus. We are in a real battle. Not in training." Shiro warned Tate before he became too distracted by pain.
Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger
"Fire Style Dragon Flame Jutsu." Shiro then launched a B-rank technique that he learned from a scroll given to him by Hayama at Ryugan.
The fire dragon created by Shiro and the multiple water dragons that came from Ryugan's sword clashed and created a large smoke screen that covered the whole area that they were in.
"Steam?" Ryugan was taken aback.
He was fighting a clone that is supposed to only have half of the user's full power and it is already overwhelming him to this extent.
He possessed the upper hand in one-on-one combat against the clone but the clone had a helper in Tate and the main body could be anywhere along with another possible helper.
It is not an ideal situation for him.
"I got you," Tate said as he emerged from the smoke and punched Ryugan in the face.
At that moment Shiro also emerged from the smoke and tried to Pierced the heart of Ryugan.
Ryugan would be able to react if it was only one person who was attacking him but it was two people at the same time within a place where he cannot observe his surroundings clearly so he could only react to one.
He decided that Tate was the lesser threat among the two and decided to attack Shiro.
"Got you," Shiro said while smiling.
He was stabbed by Ryugan who used his dragon blade but it was revealed that it was not Shiro but Tate who was using transformation Jutsu.
"Transformation Justu was one of the earliest techniques that we learned from the academy. You bastard." Tate mocked Ryugan as he smiled while seeing him get stabbed in the eye by Shiro's sword.
Ryugan dropped his sword to the ground as he lost his grip on it along with his breath.
The smoke cleared as Ryugan's body collapsed onto the ground.
"Hehe. We did it." Tate said as he gave a thumb up to Shiro's clone who disappeared into the air.
The real Shiro was watching the fight from on top of a three while carrying Tsurugi.
