| abstract | - People practice on things for reasons. Some for the fame. Others for the wealth. Or even those who do it to be bless, and to strive and see another day. For Sigma, there was only one thing, to live on and continue his journeys. In this case, Raido X. There were two dances prior to this day, Sigma...loss them both. These things rode his back heavily, first he lost in-front of his own family, the second time, a tap out. How does one who simply allow themselves to be beaten twice in a row, and today, would it increase to three? No, for Sigma, there are three strikes and you're out. But he knew, he'd been looking for the treasure twice already, and couldn't even come close to seeing it. Today was different, Sigma's midset was different, and he knew....X MARKED THE SPOT. Some men mark repetition as a lack of new material, Raido on the other hand views it people doing the same old thing expecting new results marking insanity basically. As Raido stood on the edge of Yamagakure, before he set off to Amegakure, he stood sensing the dukkha of someone he sensed one time to many. An old face, one that has seen the dirt twice in their previous fight. Raido had beaten Sigma twice now, the first time by trapping him, the second time by Sigma tappe dout and gave up. Raido had little reason to believe a third time Sigma would fair much better, especially when Raido only improved since their last battle. "Looks like I will have to hold a detention class this time around if Sigma loses to me again, I have been teaching the same lesson, but come test time Sigma fails to come in the clutch with a win". Raido X said as he looked over his shoulder, the glow from his eyes casting a feint light on his shoulder. His Rinnegan met with none other than Yama, who returned his gaze, and equally the frustration. "Raido you have battled this man twice, and now a third time?I understand the phrase never giveup, but Sigma here is dead set on finally beating you". Yama said realizing that unless Raido finished the fight off this time, Sigma would only return. Raido made no response, he said all he needed to say to Sigma before in their last two fights, so Raido played short on words to Yama, however when Sigma did show up, Raido would spare him a few more words, depending on what Sigma had to say this go around. Raido's scent was too easy for Sigma to pick up on, due to their previous meetings. Sigma continued his walk towards Raido, and as he did NaidÅ's spirit split from Sigma's. "Sigma, I've seen you doing this twice already. Will you fall a third time, and continue to let this man become a stepping stone in your life?" The guest would be easily to say, because Sigma, like Raido hadn't had to many words to spare. Within a few moments, Sigma could see Raido. Sigma's face, serious. A feature only few could bring. "Raido, today we could speak of many things. My previous two challenges, and various others." Sigma's crimson-eye glared into the eyes of Raido's. "Before I step a foot into this war, I'll decide a new fate. And become to very first to defeat you, and the Rinnegan." Raido's Rinnegan met Sigma's sharingan as the two eyes of legends glared off to each other. Raido took this moment to make a long pause. "Sigma this is the third time you and I have danced like this, and each time I fight different, and you do as well, but the outcome is the same. They say when you do the same ole shit, expecting new results its called insanity, and I think you have lost it over the years. Raido X said lightening up the situation "it all started with the first defeat, the one you suffered in front of your own family, and from there you just ain't been right". Raido X said focusing on that aspect still holding his flippant smile. "Thats demoralizing in a sense bro, but there is no retribution here, and there wont be a happy ending of you finally beating me if you havent learned anything the first two times around". Raido X said as he folded his arms in front of his chest. "So show me Sigma, do you really have what it takes this time around, or will just show me how well your face beats up my hands.. again. Raido X teased Sigm in his previous two losses". Much like any battle Raido had his plan laid out, and much like always, it was different from last time. "Raido, I've stepped to you twice. Without a way of battling. I came thinking, I could fix everything from off of the top of my head. In most of my life, things have come down only to one....to beat you. Devotition, idolism, are the things in which kept pushing me forward. Raido, I always wonder who could simply cause me so much pain...Then I thought, X MARKS THE SPOT!" Sigma's eyes were as fierce as before. "They say it all day, What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. But I say, Power is not will; it is the phenomenon of physically making things happen." There can always only be one victor, there a no "ties" or "draws"." Sigma closed his eyes, "I'd say Sigma, you've gotten wiser." A large smile began to emerge upon Sigma's face. "You're correct. We've danced to many times, and yet I lose all competitions. So today, I say; Let's do those very same dances, but maybe a different song." "Power is not will; it is the phenomenon of physically making things happen?, I guess that means in fighting me you lack power, because that phenomenon hasn't physically happened yet, nor will it". Raido X said breaking down the quote, and then tossing Sigma's failures back in his face. "How the world has failed you and given you a false sense of security of what power is, and is not. You fail to understand something about power. The dances wont be the problem they can remain the same, however it is your footwork that I am worried about". Raido X said pointing at the feet of his fellow clansmen. Seconds Later, Raido began weaving hand signs, his movement and fluidity was spectacular, as no movement was wasted. Focusing his chakra by kneading it within his stomach Raido used his Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, A massive orb of flames began to jut forth from Raido, with the mouth as it's origin. This orb of flames rumbled forward carving a warpath through the ground as it moved forward looking engulf the uchiha and land a critical hit. Raido resorted to using a direct technique on Sigma, a genin ranked on at that. This type of action was rare, and highly erratic considering how Raido fought him twice before. Raido was one of trickery and feint maneuvers, and for all he knew this was just another one of Raido's tricks Sigma ignored, Raido's statement, as it seemed he hadn't understood Sigma's true intentions. The large orb of flames shot towards Sigma, and with Raido as both elite, and a member of the Uchiha, that this ordinary fire ball would of course due more damage, if it connected with its target. Sigma himself, took a step back, and decided he'd fight fire with fire. He began to weave hand seals so fast, the naked eye would even cock. Doing so he shouted, Fire Release: Wildfire Devastation. The two techniques would clash, and Sigma would attempt to hold his own, as if the technique over powered Raido's, external damage would take it's toll. As the two moves collided, Smoke ensued and created a large cloud within their immediate area, obscuring their vision, however the advantage the sharingan had over the Rinnegan, was that it could not be blocked with mere smoke. Knowing this and with his ability to sense Sigma Raido began to formulate his plans, to really test to see if Sigma has improved from the last two times Raido had two Chakra Receiver Manifestation rods come through his arms. once of which he threw into the ground in front of him. The second disruption blade he launched at Sigma, tracking his position with his sensory abilities, Raido knew his exact location, so aim would not be a problem. The disruption blade penetrated the smoke as it gathered speed with it's inertia, slicing through the wind with the intent of making contact with Sigma's sternum, as it passed through the smoke unhindered by it's ominous cloud. Talk is cheap, and cost nothing, so lets see if I am in fact dealing with a whole new fighter. Raido said as he got into a defensive position trying alert and aware. Raido may have beaten Sigma before, but he did not underestimate his power nor his skills. Sigma was aware of Raido, and his abilities, not only because of the two previous fights, but because he idolized him. smelling around, Sigma was able to notice something, that was similar to a act Raido used once before, the chakra receiver manifestation. With a specific utilization of his visual prowess, Sigma was to track the rod. "If I know any better, he's already made use of at least one of the rods." Sigma's three tomoes, began to spin clockwise, before it deteriorated to it's normal pattern. This was his use of the Kamui; to warp the receiver away. The screen over time, would vanish, and Sigma could see Raido perfectly. Sigma was able to take note of the rod on the ground near Raido. Sigma began to glare into his superior's eyes. "I think it's time we do this." Sigma suddenly, began to spring forward towards Raido, with one of his arms flowing in the wind. "Not the safest, but it'll do for not." In the opposing arm of Sigma, he too would create a receiver, at which he launched at Raido, also using the force already granted. Once the smoke cleared he noticed Sigma lunging at him with his own rods, the rods seemed to have the intention of hitting Raido. "Coming in for a close up so soon". Raaido exclaimed with a sly smile on his face however he would approach his differently. Raido performed a negativa, lower his center, so that the lunging move would pass just over his head, performing a pivot while he did this to spin his body, but rather than perform his patent rasteria sweep kick. he had something else in mind. Using the torque of his small spin Raido charged his fist full of chakra, and as he came out of his spin, he lunged forward with an thunderous jab of his own. This punch created a nice wall of chakra between his fist and Sigma's body which would explode the moment it made contact with Sigma's mid section since that where the blow was aimed. With the linear motion of his strike, and Raido targeting his midsection outright dodging the blow would be out of the questions without getting nicked, in order to avoid the entire technique he would need to use a certain technique. Something Raido was hoping for From Sigma's knowledge, he hadn't seen the technique Raido readied. See, something Raido wasn't exactly sure of, was if Sigma's intellect had increased. The rod would play as two things, one if it landed, and two as a 'scape goat. Raido's fancy movement of taijutsu was superb, however, Sigma relied on his second use of the rod. Raido was no fool, and would use everything he could to his advantage. With the hand that sprung forth, Sigma created another rod into it's palm. As Raido's fist would come up, Sigma would use his new rod, to stab Raido's hand. This allow Sigma both move his hand, and disrupt his control. What Sigma wasn't aware of, were the mechanics of Raido's technique. When Sigma would make contact, a large explosion occurred knocking Sigma himself back. This altered Sigma's plans, and when he stood up, he would reveal a broken arm, that dangled down. "This battle is like no other. I've already messed up an limb..." "Sigma that was actually a smart move, If I would have just thrown my fist out there not thinking I would have room for an extra finger". Raido X laughed as the smoke seeped of the hands he once held the punch in. Though that was a new tactic you can't afford to fight me in such a manner. Fighting me in long distance only makes this day longer for you. Raido exclaimed as he quickly kneaded chakra within his stomach. Raido than used Fire Release: Severing Earth Flame, firing a huge orb of flames that arced into the sky, and began to ascend toward the ground. As it pounded the ground it left yet another crater weakening the ground, as it impacted it released a large tsunami, that spread quickly over the ground. Incinerating everything it washed over as the flames quickly stampeded to reach Sigma. "I know in the past, my intellect could be compared to a child. But now, I must complement it, even myself." Sigma however, couldn't talk for too much longer, as the orbs began to fire down. He already knew of the damage they could cause, but avoiding them was the main priority in this specific matter. Sigma glared at the fire orbs, and as the rained down, he instantly vanished. This technique was the Murcielage Flicker, it allowed him to avoid moves at the last moment, instantly, and simultaneously. Sigma himself, would begin to preform a number amount of hand springs. "Fighting long range will take some time, as seen in our first fight. So, I must make a decent combination." Sigma began to weave hand seals, "Raido, things will begin to take a new toll now." He stated, as he weaved them. "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence. This technique, allowed Sigma to create a dense forest. By transferring chakra, he was able to freely manipulate the wood, and would proceed to attack Raido. Raido watched as the impending forest quickly came upon him. I dont remember him using Wood Release before, Have you been keeping secrets from me Sigma, shame on you. Raido X said as he waited for the perfect moment to strike and burn this forest down, using a Powerful Fire release move to counter. Raido once again kneaded chakra in his stomach and used Fire Release: Descending World Flame creating a thunderous roar as Raido fired his stream of flames down into the ground, ripping it up and creating a rushing torrent of rushing flames which met the forest and began to incinerate it before it could reach him. The flames did just as much damage to the ground as the emerging forest did, and with the forest now on fire, and flames dancing everywhere. Think clouds of black smoke began to seep into the sky, and the air around them got tighter, and would slowly choke them. "I must say Sigma the Wood Release jutsu you used surprised me, I didnt know you had Wood Release. Ive seen it enough to know how to deal with it, but all in all I must first say thank you for helping me". Raido X said with an ominous smile as he got into a defensive position, ready for Sigma's next move.
