Seeing Ryo suddenly cough up blood, was an alerting moment for everyone, but the one who was hit by it the most was Tsunade. As she was about rush to help him she was stopped by Orochimaru. Tsunade looked at Orochimaru as if she would eat him alive.
"Let's me go!", she shouted.
"If I let you go, you will be a burden to Ryo."
Those words hit different to her, as she calmed down.
Jiraya also looked concerned and asked, "Oi! Orochimaru do you what is happening with Ryo's body?!"
Before Orochimaru could think the Raikage spoke.
"It seems you overestimated yourself, The lighting Chakra mode isn't something you could master with talent alone!"
Ryo didn't pay any attention to him, and continued to heal himself as the Third Raikage continued shouting.
"The lighting Chakra mode requires a strong physical condition and endurance, us from Kumogakure are trained to bleed are body and get stronger with Hardwork."
Ryo suddenly stood up most of his grave injuries healed somewhat. His lighting Chakra mode de-activated.
"I suppose you are right... Then I will just make something that suits me instead..."
He whispers slowly...
"Fire Chakra mode... No...something original...Ryo Style: Dragon Breath".
For a moment nothing happened.
Then a small flame escaped his mouth as he exhaled.The fire didn't spread outward.
Instead it curled upward.
Thin streams of flame began rising from his body like flowing ribbons.
The rain touching them instantly turned to steam.
More fire gathered around him. The ribbons of flame spiraled slowly, climbing higher as the heat intensified. The ground beneath his feet began to crack from the temperature.
The flame color deepened.
Red.
Then brighter.
The small flame from his mouth continued to burn steadily as he breathed. Each exhale fed the rising fire.
The storm itself seemed to retreat from him.
Across the battlefield, lightning crackled around the Raikage as he watched the transformation.
The rain hissed violently as it struck the growing heat.
The flames climbed higher around Ryo's body, moving like living streams of fire flowing toward the sky.
Rain crashed endlessly over the ruined streets of Amegakure, steam rising wherever it touched the blazing ribbons of fire spiraling around Ryo's body.
A thin flame leaked constantly from the corner of his mouth with every breath, the heat around him turning the falling rain into vapor.
Across the shattered battlefield stood the towering figure of the Third Raikage, lightning raging around his body as his expression hardened into a cold glare.
The moment Ryo stepped forward, the Raikage vanished in a burst of speed. Ryo's eyes widened slightly before a brutal strike slammed into his ribs—three fingers extended like a drilling spear.
The Sanbon Nukite smashed him sideways through a ruined wall. Stone exploded as Ryo rolled out of the rubble, coughing blood but grinning fiercely, flames surging hotter around him.
He inhaled deeply, chest expanding as the flame escaping his mouth brightened. "Ryo Style: Dragon Breath—Volcanic Ember." He exhaled violently, hundreds of blazing embers erupting forward like volcanic shrapnel.
The Raikage charged straight through them, face locked in a savage grin as explosions burst across his lightning armor. In the next instant he appeared in front of Ryo again, arm driving forward with two fingers extended, the Nihon Nukite drilling toward Ryo's chest.
Ryo twisted aside at the last second, the attack ripping through his shoulder instead and spraying blood into the rain.
His teeth clenched in pain but he countered instantly, thrusting his palm forward. "Dragon Breath—Ashborn Spear!" A condensed lance of burning ash and fire blasted from his hand and slammed into the Raikage's torso, forcing the giant man to slide several meters through the flooded street, boots carving trenches in the stone.
The Raikage's expression darkened as lightning surged violently around him. With a roar he shattered the spear with a punch and rushed forward again. Ryo inhaled sharply, flames flaring brighter as his face twisted into a determined snarl.
The Raikage's fist smashed into his jaw before he could react, sending him spinning across the ground. Before Ryo could stand, the Raikage appeared above him again—one finger extended now, chakra concentrated to a terrifying point.
The Ippon Nukite shot forward like a piercing drill. Ryo's eyes widened in shock as he threw himself sideways; the attack missed his chest by inches and blasted a crater through the street behind him.
Heat exploded outward as Ryo spun up from the ground, flames roaring violently around him.
"Dragon Breath—Blazing Tempest!" Fire spiraled outward into a raging inferno, the storm of flames twisting through the rain like a living tornado.
The Raikage ran directly into it, face set with fierce excitement as lightning clashed against the burning storm. Their bodies collided again in the center of the inferno—Ryo's flaming kick smashing into the Raikage's ribs while the Raikage's elbow crashed into Ryo's shoulder hard enough to crack bone.
Both men staggered but neither fell. Ryo's breathing grew heavier, flames rising higher with each exhale, while the Raikage wiped a thin line of blood from his mouth and grinned like a predator finally enjoying the hunt. Steam, fire, and lightning roared together across the ruined battlefield as they rushed each other again.
'How long has it been that someone gave me such a challenge? But I can't have fun here, as the THIRD RAIKAGE I NEED TO KILL HIM TODAY OR ELSE KUMOGAKURE WILL SUPRESS ITSELF!', the Raikage thought as a fist landed on his face.
