Ryuu opened his eyes and looked around. After the last base had been destroyed, he had been transferred to a base with much more invasive experiments.

They had drawn his blood, they had drawn the blood around and even in his eyes, they had taken scrapings of his eyes that took days to stop feeling like he had sand in his eyes, they took hair samples, they stole his chakra while his Sharingan were active, they took scrapings of his eyes while his Sharingan were active, and between every experiment, they had him in an arena against a small armor of other experiments, most of them being shinobi criminals that had every reason to be willing to kill him.

Finally, Ryuu was lying in bed one night, having just finished having bone marrow taken before fighting a group of four shinobi with weak cursed seals.

He had killed them all, prayed for them, and now he was trying to reach the pot on his back where he had been experimented on. Finally his hand was close enough and green chakra lit up on his hand, repairing the damage.

If there was one thing he had learned from Kabuto, it was the benefit of Medical Ninjutsu. And how to do it, thanks to his Sharingan.

"Uchiha," a harsh voice spoke from outside his cell. "Get up. You're going back into the arena."

"Why?" Ryuu demanded.

"Just get up before it fry your ass then throw you in," the voice stated.

Ryuu rolled over, looking out of his cell at the guard, a large man with muscles that stood out, even in the cloak he wore, a long metal pole with electricity running along the end, and a completely black mask.

"Fine," Ryuu groaned standing and following the guard out of the cell and to the arena.

Once there the guard tossed a tanto down to Ryuu. It was just a plain tanto with no tip and no tsuba but it was still a tanto, and if there was anything he liked in the world, it was the familiar weight of a tanto.

A moment later, his joy at having a weapon faded as the gate opposite him opened and a behemoth of a man holding a war hammer in each hand lumbered out, spitting as he entered the arena.

The left side of his face was covered in scars forming tally marks. The man held up its hammers and Ryuu spotted more covering his arms.

"How many times have you won?" Ryuu asked.

"Don't know," the man thundered. "Probably a thousand. Squishing one puny brat shouldn't be even a warmup."

Ryuu activated his Sharingan, creating a Vacuum Blade on his new weapon and grinned as the man eyed him cautiously.

"Perhaps I spoke too soon," the man grunted. "Let's begin."

The man charged forward, footfalls making pebbles near his feet bounce and clouds of dust hang in the air behind him. Ryuu rolled under the first hammer swing, then dove sideways away from another.

As he stood behind the man, the man spun, swinging a hammer over his head and slamming it down where Ryuu had been. Ryuu had leapt backward and this time had a good look at the hammer.

Both were identical and both were twice as long as he was tall with a massive plate steel hammer head, a massive sharpened plate steel axe blade on the back, and a solid steel handle. The hammers had to weigh upwards of two or three hundred pounds each.

Ryuu landed a good distance from the man and crouched, readying himself for the next assault from the man. The man hurled the hammer in his right hand, the hammer spinning through the air with the axe blade in front.
