"Hai Raiga-Sama I am ready," surprisingly the answer came from the large sack on the man's back.
"Good then let's get started."
Naruto frowned as a thick mist came in and his senses began to go haywire, telling him that he was surrounded by enemy shinobi. Closing his eyes Naruto began to block out all forms of distraction, reaching out Naruto tried to gain a sense of the chakra being used for what was obviously some form of illusion. Finally he found what he was looking for up on the cliff that he had been on before he started his assault, looking towards and focusing chakra to his eyes he found a cloaked figure with a large bag on his back.
Naruto channeled chakra into his legs and took off running towards the cliff, once he got there he jumped onto the cliff face and began running up the wall. There was a puff of smoke in his hand as Naruto unsealed Suzano, he got to the top of the cliff and in a burst of speed jumped at the smirking form of Raiga.
CLANG!
Naruto's blade clashed with Raiga's two in a battle for dominance, the two soon jumped away as they eyed each other.
"Well well look what we have here," Raiga said with an insane grin, "I have heard many things about you Namikaze-san."
Naruto stayed weary of the man in front who was acting to confident for his liking, "then you should know that you stand no chance against me."
"Heh," Raiga smirked as he got into a low stance with his two swords, "your more than welcome to think that. You should be prepared to fall by my blade, maybe afterwards I'll even give you a funeral."
Naruto said nothing as he held Suzano in a reverse grip and got into his stance, with his blade held in front and his knees slightly bent.
The two stayed that way for a while before a slight breeze rustled through the area, which was when both fighters kicked off and began their kenjutsu match. Their forms were mere blurs as the two clashed blades, disappearing only to reappear again when their swords locked. The battle soon picked up in intensity as the landscape began to change, large cracks appearing where the two met due to the power behind their strikes.
When the met again Raiga tried to disarm Naruto, using the hooks at the end of one of his blades to grab at Suzano. When the blond shinobi found out what Raiga was trying to do he jumped away and made a slashing motion with his sword, a Kaze No Yaibe was launched from the tip and shot towards Raiga who was forced to dodge. Putting his swords above his head in a cross guard Raiga began to channel lightning into his blade, which soon took the shape of a ball.
"Raiton: Raikyu! (Lightning Release: Lightning ball)"
Naruto deftly dodged the attack before making a slicing motion with his sword and sending a Kaze No Yaiba to Raiga, said man merely jumped out of the way. Naruto appeared right in front of him and began Kenjutsu match with the swordsman, going in with an alternative mix of low and high strikes aimed at vitals and tendons in the hopes of either killing the man out right or crippling him. None of it seemed to work as Naruto continued his assault, not only did the man seem to know what he was going to do before he did it but his two swords also gave him the advantage of more weaponry; nullifying Naruto's advantage in speed.
Naruto ducked under a horizontal slash from the man, before bringing up his sword in an attempt to impale Raiga through the stomach. Said swordsman side stepped the attack and used his left blade to push it out of the way, coming in with his right with a slash to take off Naruto's head. Naruto leaned his head back letting the attack narrowly miss him, bringing up his blade in a reverse grip he blocked Raiga's next slash. Pushing against the blade Naruto managed to open a whole in his opponents guard, switching to a standard grip Naruto slashed in an upwards diagonal cross that would vivisect Raiga. Said swordsman blocked the attack with one of his blades, before he could counter however Naruto pushed Suzano off the swordsman's blade and made a downwards diagonal slash. Raiga blocked that with his other blade and made an attempt to slice Naruto in half, said blond jumped back before the blade passed through to where he had been.
As he charged again Naruto felt the man channel Raiton chakra into his blades, channeling his own Fuuton chakra as the two locked blades the blond shinobi was able to negate the affects of the man's Raiton chakra. The two began to push against each other in a contest of strength, each vying to push the other off balance. Raiga was the one to eventually slip as Naruto's immense physical prowess proved to be too much, jumping back the mad swordsman gained some distance.
"My, my, your quite good, you truly live up to the rumors I've been hearing about you. When I kill you I will make your funeral my most amazing piece of work," Raiga said with a twisted smile into his face.
