chapter 24-Break Away

(3rd p.o.v)

Ryuu ducked under a kick from his latest opponent, as it had been every time recently, it was simply a Kekkei Genkai generated monster from his captors' other most promising subject. 

They had stopped putting him in the arena with a living being because for one thing, his mental state had been deteriorating fast from the number he had been forced to kill, all of them refusing to work with him against Kabuto. 

In addition to that, they were dropping fast as Ryuu was still alive, proving he had never lost. The latest construct for him to fight was a humanoid made entirely out of steel. He was having some trouble figuring out how to go about killing it but he had a few ideas.

Ryuu had been in captivity for over a year now. He couldn't tell for sure but it had been a long time since he had seen the sun. His clothes had long since stopped fitting him and had been swapped out for course brown rags, like the other detainees wore. The rags were held on largely by the frayed brown rope belt but the last thing anyone was concerned with was their clothes.

"You're too slow," the living statue stated as Ryuu ducked under a punch.

It spun, its right heel slamming into his upper arm, launching him away but not breaking it. He had come to an agreement with the Kekkei Genkai's user. 

Since constructs were all he could fight, the constructs would train Ryuu and in exchange, when Ryuu escaped, he would take the user with him. 

Ryuu pushed himself up, rubbing his arm then sprinted forward, exhaling several wind disks, all of which smashed when they hit the statue. He dove sideways away from a punch then stood, slamming his hand down.

"Earth Style, Mobile Core!" Ryuu shouted as a massive column of stone shot up from under the statue, smashing it into the ceiling.

A moment later, the column exploded and the statue landed on the ground. It clapped for a moment before smashing its own fist into the ground, the force sending a massive crack at Ryuu. He leapt into the air forming hand seals quickly.

"Fire Style, Dragon Flame Caterwaul!" Ryuu shouted exhaling five of the small dragon heads.

They all exploded on the statue, making it glow red as Ryuu made more hand seals.

"Water Style, Water Wall!" Ryuu shouted.

The water hit the statue hard, slamming it into the wall and cooling it, hardening it into one position. After a moment, the statue began to move again, a loud screech accompanying its movements this time. 

It charged forward, slower now that its own body resisted moving. Ryuu held his hand out to the side, forming a Chidori then charged forward, driving it through statue while ducking under a punch then spun, ripping it out of one side and stepped past the statue. 

He spun around again, finishing the cut then quartering the statue.

It collapsed and the door in the wall opened. Unlike every time before, it wasn't the Warden that walked in. It was a shinobi with a long black robe with red clouds and long blonde hair in a pony tail and bangs covering his left eye. 

Ryuu deactivated his Sharingan before the man spotted him and the man grinned.

"Hey kid," the man smirked. "Fancy meeting someone else here. I was just on my way to the spot that should be most abandoned. If you have friends, I'd beat feet."

"Why are you warning me?" Ryuu asked.

"Simple," the man smirked. "The more that escape, the more get to see my art."
