✴He's Worse Than Expected✴

*Shiroi and Uzu Vs Ciruka*

Shiroi and Uzu faced off against Ciruka on opposite sides of the field, tension filling the air as they prepared for battle. Ciruka launched rods toward them, but they deftly dodged them and engaged Ciruka in combat. Despite their efforts, Ciruka proved to be a formidable opponent, evading their attacks and dealing them blows.

In the midst of the fight, Uzu grabbed one of Ciruka's arms and delivered a spin kick, giving Shiroi the chance to strike with his sword. However, Ciruka managed to flip back, catch Shiroi's sword, and stab him with a Purple rod, causing him intense pain.

As Shiroi tried to remove the impaled rod, Uzu created two Shadow clones to help him. They attacked Ciruka with sword combinations, but he proved to be too skilled, knocking Uzu to the ground and destroying the clones with his rods.

Meanwhile, Shiroi observed the battle and analyzed the situation. Uzu and Ciruka exchanged attacks, and Uzu managed to stab Ciruka with a Chidori. However, Ciruka retaliated by spinning around and striking Uzu, knocking him back with a powerful punch.

Despite Uzu's efforts to attack Ciruka, he was unable to overcome his opponent's skills and was knocked out of the fight.

As Uzu attempted to rise, Shiroi held him back and spoke with conviction, "I understand now." Uzu was perplexed and curious about Shiroi's sudden realization. Shiroi went on to explain that Ciruka was not the one controlling his body, and there was another force at play. Furthermore, the beast inside him was not a tailed beast, but rather one created by an Otsutsuki due to the presence of Otsutsuki chakra. Uzu was anxious as he believed the Otsutsukis had perished long ago. To counter this threat, Shiroi had learned from Sasuke how to use his Byakugan to analyze his opponents. Additionally, he discovered that every time he employed his rods, his chakra was depleted, and he could anticipate this depletion beforehand. Uzu suggested that they could use this information to dodge the rods more swiftly, which Shiroi agreed with, rising from the ground.

*Ciruka's mind*

"Shiroi seems to be intelligent. I might have to take him out first, but I'm not aware of his abilities. However, even if his genjutsu skills are strong, they won't work on me. I'll need to put in a bit more effort soon."

*Ciruka disappeared as they searched for him. Suddenly, Shiroi yelled, "UZU BEHIND YOU!" Uzu swiftly swung his sword behind him, executing the "Lava Style: Kenjutsu Slash." Lava flew in the air as they jumped back, searching for Ciruka. Shiroi sensed Ciruka behind him and quickly flicked his sword, checking Ciruka's rod. Their weapons clashed as Uzu attacked from above. Ciruka put his hand up and formed another rod, blocking Uzu's attack. Uzu then commanded, "Shiroi, use your Wind Speed Jutsu!" Shiroi spun and kicked Ciruka, using his Wind Speed Jutsu. Uzu cloaked his body in Chidori Stream, dashed away, and then came back at Ciruka. Uzu and Shiroi dashed left, right, in, and out, bashing their swords onto Ciruka's rods. Ciruka received a couple of solid punches from them, sending him back to his knees. Ciruka then formed two rods and used them to block Uzu's attack. Uzu used a Rasenchidori to clash against his rods. The vibrations of the Rasengan and the Lightning Release immobilized Ciruka, making him unable to move. Uzu called out Shiroi to finish him off. Shiroi walked up from behind and prepared to strike. However, Ciruka shouted to the person in his head to save him. He then formed four tails behind him and blocked Shiroi's sword. Ciruka threw the tails back and collapsed on his knees, gasping for air."

Shiroi and Uzu were both astonished by what had just occurred. Shiroi quickly shifted his demeanor and began to realize that Ciruka's chakra had grown stronger and altered. As Ciruka stood up, his eyes transformed into a midnight purple hue with cat-like pupils. Two sharp canine teeth emerged from his mouth as he smiled. "He's even more formidable than we anticipated," Shiroi remarked. Uzu rose from the ground and gazed at Ciruka. Shiroi continued, "His chakra has evolved, and his strength has increased. If he is more powerful, we must go all out. He was a completely different entity a moment ago." Uzu inquired, "So you're saying he received a power boost on the spot?" Shiroi concurred and instructed Uzu that they needed to unleash their full force. Shiroi elucidated that they needed to stay on top of him. Uzu smiled and proclaimed, "Alright! We're finally putting our skills to the test," as he summoned his own Susano'o.*

*Ciruka's mind*

Ohh, Susano'o this will be fun Ciruka.

*As Ciruka's brain began to embrace the evil side, a smile spread across his face. Suddenly, he vanished from sight just as Shiroi positioned himself for defense. Uzu noticed Ciruka approaching and attacked him with his Susano'o sword, but Ciruka deftly dodged and proceeded to taunt him. Uzu swung his sword in every direction, but Ciruka evaded every blow. Uzu then added Chidori to his sword and made another swift swipe at Ciruka, but once again, he easily evaded it. Ciruka created a large rod and used it to attack Uzu, breaking his Susano'o and sending him flying onto the ground. Uzu tried to get up, but Ciruka used purple rods to stab him in the arm. Ciruka attempted to attack Uzu again, but Shiroi's Susano'o blocked his way. The two engaged in a hand-to-hand combat, and while Shiroi fought valiantly, he ultimately made a fatal mistake and was stabbed in the torso. Ciruka kicked him, sending him flying, but Uzu intervened and attacked Ciruka. In response, Ciruka unleashed a wind-style jutsu that sent Uzu flying. Ciruka then leapt towards him, knocking him to the ground and stabbing him with two rods. Shiroi attempted to attack again with the Gentle Fist technique, but Ciruka proved too skilled and countered every move. Eventually, Ciruka saw an opening and sent a rod through Shiroi's ribcage, knocking him to the ground. Just as Ciruka was about to deliver the final blow, Uzu threw his sword at him, knocking him back with a Susano'o arm.

Uzu collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air, while Shiroi fought to keep his composure despite his injuries. Uzu noticed Shiroi's wound and urged him to leave. However, Shiroi refused, insisting that they stay put. Ciruka approached them, hurling insults and taunts their way. He then summoned a rod and advanced towards them. He then declared that this was the end and lunged for the final blow.

Suddenly, Kakudai appeared in sage mode and knocked Ciruka back with tremendous force. Kakudai stood in front of Uzu and Shiroi, one hand forward and the other behind his back, in his Rock Lee pose. Ciruka realized he couldn't fight Kakudai due to his unstable chakra, which could kill him if he pushed himself too far. He fled the scene, leaving Uzu and Shiroi in peace.

Kakudai turned to Uzu and Shiroi and saw that Shiroi was unconscious. Uzu removed the rods from Shiroi's body and urged Kakudai to take them to the hospital immediately. The three of them rushed off, with Shiroi on the brink of death.

*This moment gave them PTSD from when they battled Yamoshi, scaring their lives out of their soul as they remember witnessing death for the first time.
