"Shiroi Akuma" "Shiroi Akuma" "Shiroi Akuma" a large crowd, larger than they'd ever seen in the arena, kept chanting. The once meager crowd kept growing larger and larger each time Yuri, AKA Shiroi Akuma,  fought. Every fight Yuri fought, was a fight he would most definitely win. It is a fight to the death. He had also gotten a lot better at entertaining the crowd and steering a fight the way he wanted it to go.

He had no idea how long he had been there but it felt like he had been here forever, it had to at least been a couple of months if not more. He never complained, they have a deal. A few more fights and he would be free. They promised.

Yuri stepped into the ring, a bored expression on his face. The crowd cheered as he came into view. Yuri put his fist in the air as a greet to his fans. "Animals" he muttered under his breath. His opponent stepped into the arena. Yuri didn't pay attention to the name that was called, soon it wouldn't matter anyway. One of them would be dead soon.

His opponent went into fighting stance. Yuri didn't. He just looked at his opponent with cold eyes and a bored expression. The other guy came running at immense speed. Yuri stood still, and just watched. Analyzing the way he moved. His speed. His chakra. It only took about a second and lots of concentration, but that was all it took.

The other guy didn't have a lot of chakra or stamina, but he was fast. Very fast. And tall. Very tall. Physically, he was also very strong and his opponent was a lot older than he was. His opponent looked to be around the age of seventeen. He'd have to keep it long distance, but he would also need to make a show out of it or else.... 

So Yuri took a few hits. Ichi. Ni. San. He ducked and sent his fist into his opponents stomach or well... it was supposed to be his stomach, only.... His opponent was a lot taller than he had imagined and Yuri as a two year old wasn't very tall. The guy flew back and into the wall. He groaned out in pain, buckled over. A large part of the crowd made noises of pain as if they could feel it. It was a low blow, but it was definitely  not what Yuri had intended to do. Oh well.

Yuri rolled his shoulders as he let his opponent slowly stand up. He was meant to put on a show. It wouldn't be much entertaining if the opponent died after one strike, would it?  No, it wouldn't. He has to drag it out a little, there are consequences to an unhappy crowd.... and he rather wouldn't have to face them. So, he did what he was told and put on a bit of a show. He smiled as if he was having fun, hyped up the crowed and just played his part. It was all a game after all.

His opponent finally got up and looked at the child, anger clearly written on his face. The opposing party charged at him once more. Yuri slowed time a little and at the same time he sped up, a little trick he taught himself. The crowd just saw a lot of Yuri's appear and disappear as Yuri walked to the other side of his opponent. He just thought it looked cool and he hoped the people in the arena did as well. He appeared behind his opponent. "Baaaaka" he said and kicked the other guy in the knees. His opponents knees buckled and he fell face first to the ground. The people in the arena cheered. Yuri turned his back and walked away from his opponent, fully expecting the other guy to charge at him once more as he had done the previous two times.

Right he was. It only took a second after he had gotten up, but his opponent did as Yuri had predicted. There was no use of hand signals or jutsu or anything really. In his mind Yuri saw the other guy performing some hand signals and a big water dragon appeared. Which he had to admit looked so damn cool! 

He didn't have to wait long for the dragon to appear. He smiled at the sight and looked above him in awe. It almost saddened him that he had to disperse of it. Although....A plan formed in his little, but brilliant mind. He could just let it attack him.... 'Kill' him.... It would be entertaining for the people sat in the arena and the dragon could stay for a while. 

It struck down on him, before he could do anything about it. Blood, guts and gory splattered everywhere. The arena went silent.
