Battle Of Power!

[Mellow]

With things finally starting to heat up, he observed as the smaller kid began his assault with the use of his shuriken; The style of chakra he used was interesting and he would love to see just how things are going to fair against his younger brother. The warning he had given to Okami came to light as the entire demeanor of Gyoken did a full 180 from a more timid and respectful nature to a tough and fired up nature. Kyo may not have been use to physically see the attacks, but he could sense it nonetheless which was all he needed. But with his younger brothers inability to sense any type of chakra, he wondered how Okami was going to react to the situation. However, as his older brother breezed past him after the lady who threatened their land, Kyo chased after her alongside Yatoru. While he wasn't as fast, he was still able to remain a close enough distance behind Yatoru in order for a follow up attack since he knew he wasn't going to get the first hit in.

As such, once he noticed Yatoru using his blue dragon kick, he watched the body of Yuichiro be sent flying towards the ground. During this time, Kyo used his chakra to amplify his speed and shoot himself towards the woman. As such, with the force from the kick, the woman's body collided with the rocky terrain and bounced up into the where Kyo positioned her in a powerbomb like positioning. Added with the speed and elevation, the actual impact was going to be much worse than originally planned. With the final collision, Yuichiro's back slammed against the rocky uneven pavement which caused some of the bones one the back portion of the spinal cage fracture and breaking off into the body. This not only forced all the wind in her body to leave, this also gave Kyo enough time to follow up with his other attack. Grabbing onto the legs of this woman and throwing her up into the air with his immense strength just to follow her up into the air and placing her in a very uncomfortable position with her spine placed on his knee and her lower body being over his shoulders. Finally making good use of his chakra once more to accelerate the descent of this attack, which caused the ground to shake and send rock debris flying into the air as a large crashing is made into the ground. Upon the debris clearing, it is revealed that the woman will be alive but unable to move as her back slammed against the knee of the young shinobi which caused her spine to snap, this was the result of his Spinal Impact.

As he got up, he'd put one of his hands into his pockets and use the power in his legs to jump into the air towards his older brother Yatoru with his eyes closed while a slight smile crossed his face. Upon getting closer to Yatoru, he'd raise his hand as he passed him for a highfive before landing back on the very spot he once was to observe the ongoing battle between his younger brother Okami and the new kid Gyoken.
​

Kyo: Well that was easy. Aren't adults supposed to be strong? Such weakness is a sin and will not be tolerated.​

 

[Jeriah]

In an instantaneous sequence, the youngest scion of the Kengan clan confirmed a theory harbored by Gyoken: Okami was indeed the perceived weak link. Imbuing the shuriken he had previously hurled at Okami with yin chakra, Gyoken ensnared his adversary within the intricate web of an illusion. A whispered utterance of "Dyscalculia" under his breath served as the trigger for this complex genjutsu, cast the very moment Okami's gaze fixated upon the whirling shuriken. Within the span of mere seconds, Okami succumbed to the grasp of a neurological anomaly, one that impeded his comprehension of numbers, making abstract concepts elusive and rendering his perception of time askew.

Ensnared within this perplexing illusion, Okami's reality fragmented as his understanding of numbers wavered, causing a delay in his ability to react to Gyoken's ensuing physical and ninjutsu techniques. Despite the illusion projecting successful deflection of the shuriken, Okami's vulnerability was unveiled when two concealed shuriken struck his lower torso and bicep. Strategically aimed to avoid vital organs, these kunai bore testament to Gyoken's intention to avoid lethal harm. In the periphery of his awareness, Gyoken witnessed the tumultuous onslaught by the Kengan brothers upon the Kazekage, though his unwavering focus remained on the task at hand.

Emerging from the shackles of the genjutsu, Okami found himself in a disoriented state, his recovery thwarted as Gyoken's assault pressed onward. Swift and agile, Gyoken leveraged his physical prowess to launch a powerful kick against Okami's chin, propelling him airborne. As Okami defied gravity and hovered, Gyoken's feline-like agility enabled him to ascend further, positioning himself seven feet above his adversary. With seamless fluidity, hand seals were woven with lightning speed, invoking a surge of chakra within Gyoken's lungs. A concentrated burst resulted in the release of a blue medium-sized fireball, the culmination of intricate motions executed as a single, seamless maneuver. The fireball surged toward Okami with remarkable velocity, deflection and evasion becoming daunting prospects, particularly within the aerial space. Upon impact, the fireball's intense heat and pressure would envelope Okami, its density and weight leaving an indelible mark upon his body.

The collision would have carried the dual onslaught of searing combustion and a crushing impact, forcing Okami to descend precipitously to the ground. The collision left a medium-sized crater in its wake, a testament to the overwhelming force unleashed. Gyoken released a kunai connected to a wire string, and thrusted it upon a nearby structure, facilitating Gyoken's descent to the ground. As he descended, Gyoken's unwavering gaze remained fixated on Okami, his analytical focus unaided by his sharingan. This acute observation allowed him to anticipate Okami's descent and harness his chakra for the subsequent assault. The relentless torrent of Gyoken's attack remained unyielding, a testament to his unwavering determination to conclude the confrontation promptly and decisively. In the face of Gyoken's unrelenting onslaught, Okami's tenacity would be sorely tested, the ferocity of his adversary's onslaught threatening to overwhelm him entirely.

 

[Yatoru]

As he kept his sight focused between the Kazekage's location, even though she had taken his attack head on with no time to react, he also paid close attention to the battle between the Uchiha kid Gyoken and the youngest Brother, the Runt of the group. And even though Kyo went for a Highfive in which Yatoru played along, returning the highfive, his eyes observed the swift actions between both young kids, Wanting to feed that battle crazed hunger inside his blood, he couldn't help but admire the tactics of the Uchiha kid, observing that there had been an every so hinted delay in Okami's movement, one didn't need sensory to catch this as the Uchiha would seemingly spew a ball of flames from his mouth towards the youngest brother. Normally Yatoru would just stand idly by and watch how things would play out, but this wasn't one of those moments. His Kengan Blood raged forth, boiling and screaming out for violence as his knee's slowly bent. One would think he was fixing to follow up after Gyokens nicely played attack but this was the contrary, upon pushing on the balls of his feet, Yatoru lunged to the direction of the Kazekage, his body spinning in the air like a high speed top before alas his leg is revealed striking down with such force and momentum that the ground that facilitated the Kazekage cracked, caving in like a sinkhole before alas the shockwave of the blow erupted out releasing a thunderous clap. A blow which would be aim's straight for the back of the Kazekage's neck, once so great that it would nearly sever the neck from the shoulders if not for the factor of the ground absorbing some of the force. A blow that if successful would lead to an instant K.O as the Woman's head would be forced to slam against the ground rattling the brain inside the skull. Even if it was to be dodged, due to the previous head damage the kazekage had received, catching and blocking was beyond the locomotive skills at this point, no, dodging was her best bet. Either way, Yatoru's blow sought to crush this so called leader of a village beneath the brutal might of the Kengan Clan's Prodigy.

If by a miracle Yatoru's attack should miss, his foot would crash against the ground expeling a dense stream of kinetic force airborn, producing a field to shield him as his eyes would then fixate back on the Kage. But should things go as Plan, then this would mean that the Kazekage would be out of this match leaving Okami Kengan left to face Gyoken, Kyo and finally Yatoru Kengan.

 

[Okami Kitsune]

As Okami was put into a Genjutsu only to be hit by a pair of shuriken thus being broken out of said Genjutsu - and subsequently be forced out of his momentary disorientation, due to being put in an airborne state - he was able to regain his bearings in time to counter the fireball that was clearly being shot right at him from above. He achieved this by cocking his fist back and punching upwards towards the fireball with his right fist, unleashing a powerful concentrated shockwave that would punch right through it with the intention of hitting Gyoken with its full force. Okami would then twist his body in the air with his momentum to spin around, build up more momentum, and unleash a stronger shockwave in an arc via a spinning kick from his left leg. The heated air from the dispersed fireball would also heat up both shockwaves, which were both headed right towards Gyoken and given more mass due to the application of heat as well.

Alas, Gravity would apply itself at that point and Okami's greater weight - as well as the mass of his duffel bag - would ensure that he fell back down to his elevated position on the peaks of the canyon considerably faster than Gyoken. Righting himself in the air with his built-up momentum, he would land on his feet with no discernable sign of injury before immediately removing the duffel bag from his back, and then taking the stance of his "Tranquil Fist Style" martial arts. However, he would modify it a bit to take a more offensive approach with his left hand instead being having his fingers instead halfway curled into a fist, his right hand facing the ground in a clawing position. The youngest Kengen's legs would also be spread out a bit more in a semi-crouching position.

Upon entering this freshly modified stance, Okami would activate his "Tranquil Dowsing" technique, which manifests an amber sun-shaped compass underneath him spanning several meters with numbers ranging from 1 to 12... The effects of which would be made quite clear the longer his apparent solo match versus Gyoken went, with his technique allowing him to be keenly aware of his brothers watching and effectively crippling the weakling of a Kage without even having to look in their direction - no, his eyes were focused entirely on Gyoken, his body preparing to respond accordingly to the boy's next move. He mentally took note of the two shuriken stuck in his upper chest and right bicep, which he would use his left hand to remove and securely place within the left side of his belt while still keeping them visible and easy to retrieve. Finally, he would begin to form a grin on his face, and spoke with clear excitement - as if he wasn't truly concerned, and was only starting to put in some real effort!

"You... That was actually a decent kick! And you would have had me with that fireball if I was anyone else with the exception of my fellow clansmen! Tell me, what's your name? It's clear I misjudged your ability, and as such I must remedy this and address you with proper respect! I must know your name!"​

 

[Mellow]

With his follow up technique on the Kazegake, he had been put out of commission and paralyzed by the impeccable teamwork of both Yatoru and Kyo Kengan; One of the most deadliest genin duo's within the Land Of Demons. As such, he was now able to focus fully on the match at hand between both his younger brother Okami and the Uchiha kid known as Gyoken. Once he returned to the spot he was in before going on the attack, the first thing he noticed were the shuriken already embedded in Okami's torso while the kid he'd been making fun of had no visible damage whatsoever. He may not have liked the use of actual jutsu, but he couldn't help but be impressed by the kids tactics in battle and impeccable movements.
​

Kyo: You look a little beat up little brother, didn't you say something about taking him out with your arms tied behind your back with restricted limbs? Hahaha, by what i'm seeing you need the handicap. - Good job kid, do me a favor and show my little brother why he needs to be more careful. Consider it a life lession.​

 

[Okami Kitsune]

As he watched both of his powerful super-heated shockwaves strike home and launch Gyoken further into the air, Okami would continue to keep his eyes on his opponent. Gyoken had lost whatever immediate advantage he might have had - to Okami's knowledge - by putting himself into the air and sending Okami back to the ground, which was compounded by the fact Gyoken had just taken two solid, direct hits from his shockwaves - and both shockwaves had been made denser, stronger, and super-heated due to the fact Gyoken had put a rather large blue fireball between the two of them... And Okami's brothers could both attest to the fact that his shockwaves were already strong enough to at least break bones without some form of enhancement as is. After all, just because he lacked Kyo's brute force granted to him by his martial arts or Yatoru's speed did not mean he was defenseless against them - even though he seemed to only win against Kyo as long as he kept his distance (being apparently unable to win against Yatoru), his style was noted to be by far the most versatile between the three of them. He could create shockwaves from even a simple flick of his fingers by concentrating the power being released into a single area - effectively allowing him to put up a fight against them due to the fact he could do so from seemingly any part of his body, at any time, and at any distance... Something his older brothers simply didn't seem to have the ability to do - at least not like he could.

Naturally, this meant Gyoken was sent tumbling even higher into the air with no real way to correct his position due to his body being forced to spin, spiral, etc. because the shockwave from his punch had struck the left side of his chest, while the shockwave from his kick struck the young Uchiha's knees - essentially shattering his left ribs and both knees into shards to the point he would be effectively crippled without medical assistance, meaning Gyoken wouldn't be using more Fire jutsu since he could no longer breathe properly without risking having a punctured left lung via the shards of said ribs... Although it should be noted that same shockwave, due to the increased size and density after punching through the fireball, had also resulted in a broken left arm due to the fact Gyoken's arm had been in front of his chest to form the hand signs for said jutsu. It should also be noted that due to the direction Gyoken sent himself flying in as a result of his own momentum, a similar result could be found in the entire lower legs - shattered bones from a heat-empowered shockwave at the hands of Okami's kick. Okami had also essentially turned the heat from the blue fireball against Gyoken, causing significant burn wounds on the aforementioned parts of his body with those same areas also having clothes burned off from the heat alone. The Uchiha's toes and fingers were also not safe from the damage caused.

In short, Gyoken only had one limb he could fully use, and was effectively short a lung which meant he couldn't use more Fire jutsu - not to mention the higher he went into the air, the thinner the air got, and Okami could now easily make sure Gyoken stayed airborne due to the fact he highly doubted Gyoken had the ability to form hand signs with just one hand. He'd read up on various clans and ninja techniques just to have an idea of what to expect, and while he wasn't trying to kill his opponent, he would make damn sure to neutralize as much of his ability to perform the various feats most shinobi were capable of as he could get away with. If he had to, he really would destroy Gyoken's left lung for real before also ripping off his right arm and crushing his throat, before finally using his shockwaves to crush the rest of his body - an act that the youngest Kengan sibling gained a rather bloodthirsty grin when putting into action, but not before addressing Kyo's words to him. Something that would happen immediately after he was spoken to.

"Kyo, you know damn well what my shockwaves are like at full power even without the use of our bloodline. They were just made stronger and denser from the heat of those blue flames he just used - he's down an arm, the entire left side of his ribs, and both legs from the knees down. He also just suffered direct scorch wounds from the heat of his own flames alone to those areas. Unless he somehow knows how to use one-handed seals and is ballsy enough to attempt using more Fire jutsu knowing it could very well cause the shards of his ribs to total his left lung from how much oxygen he has to take in for that, I doubt there's a whole lot he can do. So you sit back and watch."​

Naturally, Okami had needed to talk fast if he wanted to put his plan into motion, which meant he also had to act the instant his last syllable was spoken. He would lower himself into a half-crouch position, aim himself directly at Gyoken, and fire more full-powered shockwaves from his fists as he punched the air approximately one hundred times at full speed. Thanks to the air above him still being heated by the fireball he'd just dispersed, these shockwaves would also be super-heated and granted more mass - just enough mass to achieve what he planned to do if they hit. These shockwaves were meant to have enough power behind them to rip off Gyoken's right arm, crush his throat, and fully destroy his left lung by making the various shards puncture it in no particular order. However, due to the power, size, and mass of these extra shockwaves, it was very likely that by the time it was over, every single one of Gyoken's bones would be dust, for lack of a more accurate word. This meant that if all went according to plan, Gyoken would be rendered unable to continue much less speak or lift a finger... And the youngest Kengan would make no move to stop Gyoken from hitting the hard, unforgiving terrain.

 

[Mellow]

As Kyo watched on with the battle between his younger brother and Gyoken, he noticed as his brother ultimately succeeded in the defensive mechanism against, this made him somewhat proud of his younger brother with the power of his shockwaves, though once he saw Gyoken flying into the air, only one thing crossed his mind. "Oh, well up he goes then. I better help him." It was this moment, Kyo empowered his legs with chakra as his younger brother boasted about his abilities. He made no expressions regarding his plans, but it wasn't like his brother would know anyway since he didn't have the ability to sense chakra. With that, the momen't his brother uttered the first 4 words of his last sentence, Kyo blasted into the air straight towards Gyoken and using the strength in his legs to create shockwaves of his own to combat his brother's the moment he started shooting them out, all whilst catching Gyoken mid air as he spun around to execute his attack. While Okami's were faster, Kyo's were much stronger and 1 shockwave will have eliminated half of the ones from Okami, while the second shockwave shot from Kyo's leg eliminated the rest. Just as the two of them descended once more back to the ground, Kyo's thoughts ventured off once more; This time referring to what was currently happening now. "Back down to the ground we go."

Upon landing on the ground, still holding Gyoken with one arm, and even with the power he held, Kyo figured that the match between the two was a good as over.
​

Kyo: Well well, so actually managed to mangle him up. Im can credit you for that at least.. However, you went too far. This kid isn't an enemy to be killed, you should know that your shockwaves are strong enough to kill someone outsid of our clan. You need to learn to control the power of your attacks when faced with someone weaker than we are. I normally don't waste time with anyone weaker than i am, but since she showed up I decided to play around with her for a little. It just so happens she broke in the middle of our little "date". - So, we making this a triple threat until the kid's good to go, do you want to try and take us one alone, or do you want to fight one of us. ​

With that being said, Kyo rested Gyoken on the ground and waited for either of his brothers to respond, he might as well have some fun in the mean time until he knew exactly what was going on with Gyoken.

 

[Yatoru]

Though Yatoru stood around watching, as the youngest of the three unleashed his first initial attack Combo to retaliate against the Uchiha's Fire Ball Jutsu/ Taijutsu Combo. But it wasn't until the following initiation of a new onslaught that Yatoru slowly gritted his teeth, as per usual his stupid young brother took it overboard; Yatoru's blue eyes now coldly locking on the youngest sibling, as Kyo managed in time to rescue the Uchiha kid only for Kyo to speak; though Yatoru remained silent, his left foot slowly tapping the surface of the rock structure, it was upon Kyo's question if they'd like a three way dead lock, or a one v one that Yatoru spoke with a much more stern and serious tone, one in which revealed the weight behind his irritation,
​

"Kyo, Play babysitter for the Uchiha kid. Just till he's ready to get back in the fray. Looks like big brother is going to have to teach the little runt of the Family some manners when fighting someone who clearly has less durability. Do... NOT... Interfere!"​

Yatoru's words resonating in the air, almost creating a stagnating and almost suffocating sensation as his left foot came to an abrupt stop of its tapping notion. His expression now more cold and analytical; Yatoru's appearance almost seemed as if it was becoming a blur in its spot.

At this point, Yatoru showed a sign of being quite irritated; And as his body seemed to take a blur like motion, and a gust of wind trembled around his fury as his hair fluttered with abrupt violence; the curves of his face creasing as his eyes sharply locked onto Okami. In that briefest of moments, in that split of a second; Yatoru seemingly appeared directly behind Okami, his original spot still containing the blurred body, and due to the Kengan's inability to sense Chakra, Okami would not have an inkling of an idea that Yatoru would appear directly behind his sibling. Harnessing his chakra within his entire left arm. His intent was to gather chakra in order to release it with a single, explosive burst. When doing this technique, he shoots all of the gather chakra within his entire arm into his hand within an instant, propelling it with a swift, controlled movement. The resulting impact is akin to the striking of a wave of energy—a torrent of chakra-infused energy that manifests as a concussive force. The strike delivers a shockwave that echoes through the target's body, causing internal disruption and often leaving them incapacitated. The effect of the beam of energy are both visual and visceral. Upon impact, the target may feel as though they have been struck by an actual surge of chakra— such is the intensity of the technique. Bones may crack, muscles may seize, and the sheer force of the strike can send opponents hurtling through the air. The shockwave radiates outward, causing a momentary disruption in chakra flow and equilibrium, which can leave the target disoriented and vulnerable as the chakra itself manifests in the form of a condensed beam of chakra.

Should this succeed Okami's Mid Spinal Vertebra will succumb to the fastest strike he'd ever come to realize, one in which compliments Yatoru's speed based style, unmatched by his siblings for a reason. The blow which would release a shockwave through Okami's Chest and into the side of the canyon wall where it would pulverize into it creating a small to medium sized carving; but for Okami this blow would shift the vertibra resulting in momentary nerve loss to the legs along with various muscle seizures from the stomach down. Though by the Time Okami would realize the extent of what was truly going to happen he lacked the necessary speed to compete against Yatoru's. And should this blow succeed, Okami's body would be sent propeling towards the Rocky canyon Wall where the Carving was made, enlarging it greatly. Whilst at that same moment, the Blurred visage would vanish revealing to those around that this was but a mere afterimage from Yatoru's incredible speed feats.

Nonetheless, Yatoru would even by some miracle that Okami could catch wind, his blow would still meet the mark before Okami could React to counter. The only Option was to Dodge and hope to succeed by sheer luck, or Block and risk a limb's bone being snapped in two by the momentum of Yatoru's speed and blow.

 

[Okami Kitsune]

As his brothers spoke, Okami had a certain feeling in his gut while turning his attention towards the two - and that feeling magnified when Yatoru tapped his foot down onto the ground. With a combination of his own natural battle instincts and his [Tranquil Divination] technique that he'd activated immediately before he'd used his barrage of 100 shockwaves which had been just as quickly countered by two of Kyo's own shockwaves, the youngest out of the three brothers was able to fluidly twist his body counter-clockwise in time to swat Yatoru's hand off-course with the back of his own left hand. However, Okami wouldn't stop there - allowing his body to continue twisting around, he would just as swiftly bring his right hand towards the center of Yatoru's chest for a vicious shockwave-empowered open-palm strike, which would then be followed up by a similarly empowered and equally vicious one-inch punch of his own with that same hand to the same spot.

If this succeeds, though it was highly doubtful considering Yatoru was simply that much faster than him even if Okami now had a means of defending against his attacks, then Yatoru would almost certainly suffer a completely shattered ribcage. Due to the fact Yatoru's style was solely reliant on speed, it meant that his strikes simply lacked any real finishing power against many of his fellow Kengan without the use of chakra. This also meant that Yatoru did not have his durability, let alone Kyo's - and that Yatoru had the lowest overall stamina out of the three of them because he was too used to most opponents simply being unable to hit him which allows him to end fights rather quickly. If not for Okami's [Tranquil Dowsing] technique already being active, Yatoru's strike would have once again claimed a win with just a single hit. As such, he highly doubted Yatoru was prepared to have his speed and momentum disrupted - least of all by the "little runt of the family" as he seemed to love calling him.

Either way, Okami opted to finally drop the mask he put on around others, which would allow Yatoru to see the absolute contempt Okami held for him as well as much of the Kengan clan as a whole (albeit with certain exceptions) - and how close he was to well and truly snapping for the first time in years, and once again becoming a true monster even by Kengan standards... Last time had resulted in an incident that became the reason Okami tended to wear loose-fitting clothes that hid most of his body, with his legs being almost constantly wrapped up in bandages - and it wasn't because of how many fights he'd lost. Either way... Whether or not his effort to stop Yatoru in his tracks worked, he felt the need to voice his true feelings towards his "family."

"That damned nickname again... Just what the bloody hell is with you and everyone else calling me that damned nickname!? Ever since I began training to get a hold of my anger after I lashed out and caused a certain incident that left most of my body scarred, several dead and many more wounded, I've never once been called by the name I was born with! I know for a fact that I'm not that fucking weak, hell I can actually make Kyo work for his wins now! I still have to dodge like hell despite that because he's a goddamn meat tank! Is it because unlike the rest of you, I have to train so much harder just to have any ability worth a damn!? Or is it simply because I'm the youngest and, overall, the weakest!?"​

The more Okami spoke, the higher his voice was raised. The higher his voice was raised, the angrier he got - which spoke volumes of how long he'd been keeping it all bottled up behind a pack mentality and countless meditation exercises. However, even he - patient as he was - had his limits, and the one person he truthfully despised the most had just undone years of hard work... And all it took was a single utterance of a nickname that every other clan member had taken to calling him. In his highly enraged state, Okami's condition would be ignored due to the escalating increase of adrenaline running through his system if Yatoru had indeed hit him, though Okami would make no effort to move from his spot or his position if this was the case. That anger would be calmed ever so slightly once Okami paused to take a deep breath, before speaking again - though his shoulders would sag and his tone sounded much older and very tired... More than anyone his age had any right to be.

"Actually, you know what, it doesn't matter. It never did... You and the rest - with Mother apparently being the sole exception - have made it quite clear for years now that none of you believe I'll ever amount to much, and that's if I'm lucky enough to amount to anything at all... And since that's the case, allow me to tell you something: For a Kengan, to be regarded as such - to say nothing of all the other names I've been called when certain people thought I couldn't hear them - is the same as being exiled from the clan, while skipping the steps of actually banning an individual from the clan estates for example. In short, I've been exiled for years without having gone through any of the political red tape - it's the real reason I live far away from the Kengan clan ever since we became Genin and I began earning my own income."​

And there it was - the bombshell that was the reason he'd been so distant from the rest of the Kengan clan and even his own brothers ever since their promotion. It was clear that he'd been sitting on it for a while now, waiting for just the right moment to say something in a meaningful way. And for the trio, there wasn't much that could top it being done as a result of years of hard work and mental training being thrown out the window, hearing with his own two ears what his eldest brother thought of him - the selfsame nickname that damn nearly every other Kengan had been calling him for years. Through it all, Okami's gaze was stern, his eyes never once leaving those of his eldest sibling - deep down, he wished the same torment he'd experienced upon the same people who did this to him. Yatoru, just by uttering that accursed name, was now among that long list of people - Knowing Kyo, he would side with Yatoru on this, which meant his name was also on that list as well.

"Look. Just don't bother trying to convince me that I'm still welcome, you're supposed to be my brothers and should at the very least know damn well how much blood, sweat, and tears I've had to shed just to have what little skill I have now - and you both know as well as I do what the clan's like. It was either exile or certain death, and I can't exactly get strong in my own way and surpass you if I'm dead Yatoru. The last time Father and I spoke, I told him as much. Only reason nobody told you is because I wanted to tell you myself... See if I really am just a runt who will never amount to anything worth a damn - or if at least one of the two people I used to trust and value over even my own life can at least be bothered to call me by my real name for once! Right now, I don't see those two people... I only see two more names on a long list of lifelong tormentors."​

 

[Yatoru]

As Yatoru's Movements went unimpeded, the built up momentum was enough that showed feats of Speed and reflexes, but also feats of ones durability as it is needed to accelerate to such speeds to utilize After Images. For Okami though He managed to redirect the blow from a direct hit, he was not immune to the shockwave that was released. Due to the immence momentum built up from the speeds traveled, the moment that his strike went out, the following shockwave that would follow whilst Okami was still in a twisting motion would be the youngest Kengan's biggest flaw; the shockwave would send the Kengan runt flying as he had no true footing against such kinetic energy built off sheer momentum, bringing what ever counter attack Okami had in plan to an end immediately. As it was like trying to stop an unstoppable force without being an immoveable object. And though Okami did infact avoid taking a direct blow, he still believed himself worthy enough to landing a blow on the Eldest; a foolish error of calculations. Okami would in fact be sent flying towards the canyon wall where Yatoru stood, his face almost demonic in nature, this cold stagnant sensation he emitted , thinning the air around as if the very location coward to his sheer might. His feet planted strongly on the surface of the rocky formation, his eyes locked upon Okami; as he'd let the youngest ramble on about his thoughts. And Yet this Youngest Sibling knew not why he was called the Runt of the Three, no it wasn't that he was weak or pathetic which during his rambles like a child he showed, It was because he was the youngest of the three. And yet As Okami would finish his rambling's, Yatoru with that same cold expression that stared down upon Okami he spoke at last,
​

"Are you done yet? You're little ramble is pathetic, you've always got an excuse to make. Yet you know not what it means to be a Kengan! We do not go around trying to kill individuals weaker than us, Our Clan is built off the foundation of Strength, and Battling those Equal to stronger than us! The Thrill of the fight is what we seek; and for you to attempt to leave that Boy who was clearly less durable than you to a almost near death situation is disgraceful. If you want me to call you by your Birthname, You best earn that right Runt. Land a blow on me and I'll give you that honor."​

Like an invitation to earn his right to be called his name by the Eldest, Yatoru stood, towering above the youngest sibling; his legs slowly sliding a shoulders length apart, the knee's bending to a ninety degree angle greating the greatest of stability, as his arms slowly rose his left hand directly in front of his chest, the right extended out before his left; What the Youngest was not aware of, was that To have such incredible speed, one must possess the stamina equivalent to maintain it, meaning unaware to Okami; Yatoru though lacking in strength possessed the greatest stamina and speed; his Durability being matched by Okami Kengan's through the constant tribulations he went through battling their father. To make up for his Lack of Physical Strength, Yatoru's Speed is what carries it all, building up momentum and kinetic energy for precise and high damaging blows.

But at this point of time, as Yatoru stood ready, his legs circulating his chakra to the point that the sheer pressure being produced would shake the formation of stone causing large chunks to break itself off before alas Yatoru vanished, his body having seemingly disappeared from its spot, with various After Images, appearing across the multitude of Rock Formations, Each standing in his battle stance though unlike before these did not have the strange blur sensation or visual, rather they seemed more solid, meaning that if Okami wished to earn that right to be called his name, he best be ready to earn it as Yatoru was no longer playing around. And Since Okami nor Kyo could Sense chakra, locating the real Yatoru was almost beyond impossible, meaning if luck wasn't on the youngest Siblings side, he'd pay with a blow even to great for him. The Constant motion to produce these after images was enough to actually build up Momentum so great that the corresponding Kinetic Energy would be a tad stronger than Kyo's strength fighting seriously.

But no matter, each of the After images can be seen as the voice of Yatoru echoed from all directions solidifying the difficulty of locating him,​

"You know what, Kyo Fight the Runt; If he thinks so much in that manner, thinking father wouldn't kill him for such disgrace upon our clans name, he needs to go up the order of Siblings. If he manages to beat you which is unlikely, then he will get to test his mettle against the Kengan's Mightiest. So Get to It Runt, earn that right this is an Official KENGAN ASURA. A Clan Rite of Battle!"​
