With the second group beginning inside the arena all eyes were on the youngest team. Three eight years old watched as over thirty kunai or shuriken flew towards them. Jumping out of the way as well pulling out a kunai they deflect a few.

“Ryu, I want you to use Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique). Only instead of making a ball I want you to attempt a sea of fire.” Hikari said as Ryu mentally nodded.

Imagining a sea of flames, he quickly did a single hand seal and blew watching a wall of light blue flames appear. Quickly cutting off the technique, as he could feel the chakra drain as the technique drained a quarter in that burst.

That was insane, even with my fire mastery and chakra control, it took over a quarter of my chakra. Ryu mentally shouted as he noticed the scorched ground and over half the field groaning from burns.

“That Ryu was Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku (Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation). It is a B-rank fire jutsu with some considering it pinnacle of fire releases. Of course their wrong but that not important. Once you master this jutsu and your strength builds it would take a few water jutsu to counter.” Hikari began to explain as Ryu wonder why she taught it to him now.

“Get him.” He heard breaking him out of his thoughts as the remaining five teams charged him.

Looking over to Hana and Izumi they nodded as Hana used her clan jutsu alongside her triplets ninkin. Four wind tornadoes appeared taking out a group on the left as Izumi fire off Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique). Which only distracted the other side for a moment.

“Izumi you take the team on the right. I will hold off the two in the middle until you can finish them and Hana does the same with the two on the left.” Ryu said as he pumped chakra into his feet shooting forward.

“Right, Ryu believe in me, why can’t idiot Itachi do the same.” Izumi shouted before blushes for saying that aloud.

Entering the group of six, Ryu began to rotate his body as he jumped bring down his foot on the leading one’s arm.

Crack!

The sound of the ground and arm breaking as the teenage boy shouted in pain. A small crack appeared under the teen feet as he struggled to stand.

Using the opening, Ryu quickly punched the screaming teen into his teammates. However he couldn’t finish as a couple swords threaten to impale him so a log replaced him.

“Sexy Jutsu: Lust of the Wild.”

Ryu shouted this as he made a couple shadow clones and had them transform. Instead of having the clones transform into a naked girls like before, one transformed into a handsome man. While the other a woman both around nineteen or so, with only small leaves barely blocking their privates or bust..

“Hikari, this is going to feel weird once I get the memory back isn’t it?” Ryu asked as this jutsu was formed form a moment of inspiration.

The two clones while barely covered by the leaves began to make out with each other as grope the others body. Which led to them moaning making everyone stop as everyone watched the two clones go at it.

“Wait until you do it with a girl on girl or boy on boy. Then it will get even weirder.” Hikari laughed.

Using the distraction Ryu quickly and silently knocked out the remaining teams. Which wasn’t hard as over half passed out from blood loss. Dispersing the clones, he was glad he wore a mask as he was sure his face was red.

“Well, that was interesting.” Hiruzen said as bring the attention of those that didn’t pass out. “Highly unconventional but effective. Since Itachi is unable to battle, I declare team fifteen the winner.”

Ryu took a moment and looked over to Itachi who fell for the jutsu and passed out from blood loss. Which was funny as Izumi was fuming at the sight as she was ready to beat him up.

“Ryu I would like to talk to you about that jutsu.” the sound of the devil appeared behind him.

“Hana would you believe me it was a moment of inspiration?” He asked receiving a head shake.

“Retreat.” Hikari shouted as he agreed and ran to fight another day.

===

Arriving back into the stands after receiving a small beating, Ryu rubbed his head as he shuddered. He now can say he has a small fear towards Hana and hopes to never anger her again. Sure, his idea worked a little too well, that he basically took out most of audience and competitors.

“Hmm, I still by what I said about her. She would make a great mate.” Hikari said making him shudder.

A small rain cloud formed over his thoughts as he thought about the future. He fears as they grow older she might beat him up more. Which would cause him to eat dirt or fly off as her strength grows.

“We are only eight going on nine. It has been a while since you brought it up though.” Ryu commented as he cheered up.

Hikari just stayed silent as it didn’t really get a reaction out of him. While she liked he can control his emotions and be calm most of the time. However, he is like a doll to others as most of the time he only reacts without showing.

“Did you know that wolves can have multiple mates if the male strong enough?” Hikari asked.

Confused on why she brought it up, Ryu nodded as he studied animals in his spare time. While the chances are low there is a chance someone trained one to gather information. So, he studies different species in case he runs into them in the wrong habitat.

“Do you think about getting multiple mates? You remember I am only partially sealed so my chakra will affect you more.” Hikari said making his eyes widen in shock. “Well it more of a chance in the future.”

Calming down as he began to think about it. He has seen a few that have a romantic relationship with multiple partners. Though he also saw them crash and burn.

“How would I know?” Ryu asked curiously.

“I guess if you have the urge to dominate and mate with multiple females. I doubt you would ever pick a male so your safe there. Only your female half might demanded pleasure.” Hikari replied blushing at the thought. While she has over a thousand years of memories, she is only eight.

“So, basically I would be in heat? Well that isn't too bad as I still have a few years until puberty.” Ryu said not receiving an answer which worried him. “Right?”

“I say you have about a little over a year. While it's not a hundred percent accurate just get use to the idea. The only reason I am telling you is to get you used to the idea, I mean look at what your shadow clones done?”

Letting out a confused sigh, Ryu nodded as he decided to watch the final group for the tournament. It was disappointing as it was filled full of fan girls a recently growing thing in the shinobi forces. From lack of training to diets, they were barely above civilians. To make it worse they didn’t even look like they could take a seduction mission to how thin they are.

“Why does this feel like this whole tournament was meant to test a few.” Ryu mumbled as Hana, Izumi and Anko growled at the current display.

Sui-Feng who heard him just laughed awkwardly as he hit the nail on the head. While he didn’t say who he could see the idea behind it.
