Naruto: The Lone Wolf of the Leaf

Battle of Friends: Ryu vs Shojo

Ryu was at his home preparing as he looked at his Shinobi headband.

Shojo: Hard to part with it?

Ryu: This thing holds a lot of memories. Since I am Hokage I don't actually have to wear it, but it's still weird to me.

???: You know what they say, hold habits die hard.

He looked back and saw Jiraiya and Kira.

Ryu: Yeah, I guess they do.

Kira: So, we heard from Kai that someone has Yang Release now.

Ryu: Uh huh.

Jiraiya: Maybe it's because of those new eyes you have.

Ryu: Most likely. Supposedly the Rinnegan grants that and Yin Release as well.

Jiraiya: I see. Well maybe the other half of just waiting inside of you. But you need to be careful as well. Who knows when someone might try to steal your Rinnegan.

Ryu: Yeah well, I don't tend to let anyone get out of my line of sight and my sensory field can pretty much be on par the the Byakugan.

Kira: Still, if you let you're guard down for even a moment it'll be bad news.

Ryu: I know. Anyway, I won't be at the battle, but I'll find some way to help out.

Kira: I think I may know one.

Ryu: And that is?

TIME SKIP!!

Ryu had his Amaterasu flames under his feet allowing him to fly as he was sensing around in a rainforest.

Ryu: This better not be some wild goose chase.

Shojo: This a pretty impressive Ryu. You've never been able to use your Amaterasu Jets for this long.

Ryu: I guess we should chock it up to my training and the Rinnegan. Anyway if they really are here I'd be able to sense Chakra that powerful right away. Can you try sensing where the Immortal Beast Chakra's are?

Shojo: Let's see.

Ryu waited in a few moments of silence before Shojo seemed to respond.

Shojo: They're a bit further, but something seems wrong.

Ryu sped up as he was flying even faster than he was on foot. After a few seconds of flying he found both Azure carrying Karma over his shoulder slowly starting to bleed out.

Ryu: The hell?!

He flew down with the black and white haired man hearing the sounds. He looked up seeing Ryu slightly confused.

Azure: I-Is that you... Ryu?

He landed in front of him confused.

Ryu: What the hell happened to you and Karma?! Where's Konan?!

Azure coughed a bit as he fell to a knee.

Azure: Sh-She's dead... Madara got to her, and he almost got us...

He coughed even more as Ryu seemed worried.

Ryu: Shit! Don't know if this will work but gotta give it a try!

Ryu helped out his hand before an odd gate appeared from black flames.

Azure: The King of Hell?

A tongue stuck out towards the two before pulling them both in. After a moment they both shot out being fully healed while Karma was still unconscious.

Ryu: O_O I can't believe that worked.

Azure: ... I'm gonna ignore that sentence, and just say thank you.
