| - The day before, Asura had received a message from his godfather, to meet him in the Land of Iron. The next morning Asura got up and left the Land of Dragons. "I hope, I haven't done anything to piss Master Raido off." After a few hours, Asura finally reached his destination. "Ok, Raido-sama should be here somewhere." Asura states attempting to look through the thick hail. "God dammit, why'd he choose this place out of them all?" Literally appearing out of thin air, Raido recreated his mortal body as his body came into full view, in front of Asura. Raido towered over the much smaller Man, to which was no surprise as Raido stood at 6 foot 5 inches. As he stepped forward he had his usual calm demeanor, meaning that he had a smile for pissing Yama off at some point today. "As yes, Asura so glad that you could come on time, you even beat me here, which is worth noting". Raido X said tapping his armored sleeve on his left arm. "Before We go any further do you know why we are here?". Raido X as he continued to tap the sleeve. Asura began to think through his brain as best as he could. "I'm sorry but no..Is there something I did wrong." Asura then began to think about his previous battles. "I have no idea what he could be talking about." Asura then looks at Raido, "Mind telling me?" "There's a saying that what's understood doesn't need to be explained, in this case explain it. Your fighting style is well.. easy to dissect making it easier to beat you. Shinobi take adavantage of that knowledge and when the face you, they will be prepared for you to use those eyes. I know the Rinnegan is powerful, trust me there, but You should allow your other abilities a chance to dance. Mix it up a bit is basically what im saying, unless you love second place that is". Raido said as he placed his hands in his pockets. Yama as well watched the red haired man closely, saying no words. "Master Raido, I know you know what's best but why not use a power granted to you?" Asura picks his head up and looks the his godfather, "I mean, the Rinnegan is the source to all of my power. I'm not the greatest in my Dust Release, and I refuse to use my fathers cursed ability. My space-time is great when I need speed, but what about power?" Asura grabbed his bow, "Furthermore this just won't cut it. Power is what gets the job done, with a bit of strategy." Asura put his bow back behind him, "What about against Lord Reikoku? He even gave my mother a problem, how will I be able to take him down without the help of my Rinnegan?" " With that attitude I wonder why, Practice makes perfect, and to become prefect at something you gotta practice it. You don't give yourself the ability to change your tactics, and your style. I understand the Rinnegan is the source of your power. It is one of my main weapons as well, but there's one problem. What if you fought someone who had the ability to remove your Rinnegan out of the equation. For Example, say you and I decided to fight, and knowing you rely on your Rinnegan, and seeing as I use the Rinnegan how would you beat me?, You think you could outsmart me with the Paths that you do use". Raido X said as he was making a point. "The Rinnegan regardless of whether I use it or not is easily made useless, its a tool". Raido X said as he activated his Rinnegan, the ripple patterned eyes taking root in the eyes of the Dark Slayer. "That being said, why don't you show me what you can do with your Rinnegan, and lets see if your so called ideals of " power is what gets the job done" attitude. Lets have a quick dance shall we?" Raido X said as he stood in place. "Not the one, i'd ever image fighting. Though if I have to show myself worthy of my beliefs, then so be it." Stated the crimson-haired shinobi, as he activated his Rinnegan, and a ripple-like patern look place in his eyes. There was one thing Asura was capable of, and it was weaving hand seals faster than the eye could see. Asura, quickly began weaving hand seals, when after he finished, a huge wave of water rushed towards the Dark Slayer. Using the wave as a shield, Asura runs behind the wave opening the first gate, as he thinks to himself "Exactly as Raido-sama stated, I'll use power and at least try to prove my beliefs worthy." Still running behind the wave, the crimson-haired shinobi placed his arms in a crossed position in front of him shouting. "Third Gate of Life OPEN!" Asura's speed and strength became heavily increased, but he still controlled his speed so that he could maintain staying behind the wave. Raido looked at the wave, but sensed Asura behind it. Raido could sense the Dukkha of anyone, within at least 2.5 miles. This allowed Raido to always have the drop on his opponent, and know where they were, and their location. He sensed the speed increased and realized this tactic. Hmm direct attack meant for me to defend one and fall pray to another, leaving myself open for the followup. Lets plays along shall we. Raido stood still while a series of Barriers appeared around him as the appeared the glowed a evil blood red, and the water began to fade away and lose its shape. Leaving Asura exposed and heading toward Raido, as he extended his hand forward, and used the powers of his Deva Path to blast Asura backwards, completely taking away his momentum, and speed and sending him backwards. "Nice try there, deception is a good plan, a way to make the opponent second guess your moves, wasting more time thinking about your doing rather than on focusing on how to stop it. Raido X said looked over the situation once more. However, it was still a direct attack, meaning that you either have plan already in motion or you think you will overpower". Raido X said as he still held his hand forward, as the barriers continued to hover. Flying away, Asura thinks to himself. "Dammit, i've never seen him use anything like that before." Still flying back, Asura notices a mountain behind him that he will eventually crash into. "Is this what he meant? That power isn't everything.....no I have to get my beliefs heard!" Suddenly, Asura grabs his dagger and launches it across the area exactly twenty five feet away from from Raido. No time left, Asura instnatly warps to the dagger, and picks it up. "Oh no...he's still proving me write. Power couldn't have saved me from that, but speed just did."' Asura looks at Raido, and slams his hands on the ground, "No, I wont allow this to be true." Asura lifts his hand, and it suddenly turns into a RPG. Raido saw the stance of Asura, and true to his name sake, saw him rely on the Asura Path abilities. he was quoted to be the God of the Asura Path. What better way to get the point across than use the very same path and beat him, However Raido has better plans. Asura cleary had forgotten something very important. Asura since this is just a simple battle I will tell you this those barriers target and destroy any ninjutsu. Those barriers destroy the yang aspect of anyway jutsu, which is what gives ninjutsu its shape. Ninjutsu without a physical form is just an imagination meaning it will eradicated. as Long as those barriers remain in the battle around me your Asura Paths abilities are useless, and any ninjutsu you could use will be destroyed until you take them out. Raido X said as he shook his head when he realized Asura had not studied the Barrier properly. Power without knowledge consumes itself, it slowly swallows itself in its own ignorance for more. When you have knowledge and power, then you can become a dangerous man. The greatest weapon of all is the mind. Raido X said as he tapped his own head.
