Good day, shinobi! Or night, for you Europeans. I am now bringing you a battle that was probably the most difficult for me to write. Ravennus (Myself) v Taiga Himitsu (taigakun). This one was especially hard to write, as I had to avoid bias as best as I could. The pre-game analysis was released early so that I could see the community's opinion on the battle, and it was there that I made most of my decision.

Two shinobi met on the rocky plateau, representing a village and an organization. Below them, a battle raged on. Two enemies, locked in conflict, sent their ninja against each other. However, the real battle would be decided here, between two decidedly talented shinobi.
“However this ends, I wish you luck in your endeavors.” Ravennus said in a monotonous voice.
“Don’t pretend to care, I know you don’t.” Taiga replied, prompting a slight smirk from Ravennus.
“I was only trying to be polite.” The two shinobi peered into each other’s eyes for a few minutes, waiting for the right time to strike.
Finally, as thunder roared in the sky, the two shinobi shot at each other. From Taiga’s sleeves came a katana, from Ravennus’, a kunai. Taiga immediately gained the upper hand, following an overhead strike blocked by the kunai with a smack from the butt of his handle. Ravennus stumbled backwards, dropping his weapon. Taiga promptly twisted his blade, uppercutting the enemy. His blade sliced clean through Ravennus, spilling blood onto the rocky ground.
Thunder boomed again as Ravennus’ body slowly faded away.
What is this? Some sort of clone?“Kenjutsu, the art of using a sword.” Taiga heard a voice behind him. He quickly turned around, only to find Ravennus perched on a rock.
“Quite common, but you seem exceptionally talented with it.” He continued, jumping off the boulder.
“What sort of cheap tricks are you using? Reveal yourself.” Taiga launched himself towards the enemy ninja, piercing his abdomen clean through with a powerful thrust. He heard thunder as Ravennus’ body faded and a new one appeared next to it. Without hesitation, Taiga struck the current one, this time with a Chidori. Ravennus’ didn’t disappear immediately, instead grabbing onto Taiga’s arm and pulling him closer. They stood mere inches away, staring into each other’s eyes.
Without releasing his hold on Taiga’s arm, Ravennus used his left hand to form hand signs.
He’s quick, and with one hand. I can’t tell what he’s going to use. “Lightning Style: Kirin.” Taiga’s eyes, widened. He tried to loosen Ravennus’ grasp on his arm, to no avail.
“ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?” Taiga increased the intensity of his Chidori, pushing straight through the enemy shinobi’s body.
“You are going to kill us both. Nobody wants that. Nobody needs that.” Taiga drew his katana with his left hand, rapidly sticking it through Ravennus’ neck. The shinobi did not pause. He raised his free hand, preparing to guide the thunderous dragon to the ground.
Rain clouds covered the sky, casting a shadow on the battlefield. It began to precipitate, mixing the blood of the shinobi with fresh water from the sky.
He’s going to fucking do it. Taiga looked up, still trying to wrest his arm from Ravennus’ iron grasp. Lightning formed into the mystical beast.
Before Taiga could say any last words, Ravennus lowered his hand, blowing both himself and Taiga to bits.
Thunder clapped once more. Taiga opened his eyes, gasping for air. He stood opposite Ravennus, neither injured in the slightest.
Genjutsu. Just an illusion. It felt so real, though. “The battle really begins now.” Taiga looked up towards his enemy.
There’s no way he actually knows a technique like Kirin. He doesn’t seem very strong, either. My best bet is to get in close. “Sir. We lost our entire right flank. The center is danger of rout and the left is barely any better. You may want to withdraw with the rest of our forces. Kinzokugakure reserves will be here soon.” Taiga turned around to look at the voice which spoke. One of his subordinates in the Heathen Army.
“You can’t be serious. How did they do it?”
“The side of the mountain collapsed. They created a landslide, destroying our right flank and some of the center. The rest of their forces were able to focus on our remaining few.”
Taiga closed his eyes, elevating his right arm until it pointed at Ravennus. A chidori spear extended, stopping inches before Ravennus’ face. It promptly retracted, fizzling into obscurity, allowing Taiga to form his hands together.
“Release.” Taiga opened his eyes. The battle raged on below, undisturbed by natural disasters.
“I should’ve known earlier.” Taiga said, finally free of the illusions Ravennus had put him into.
“So, how did you figure it out?”
“It had me fooled for awhile, I will give you that. However, the thunder gave it away. Every time I had bested you, thunder clapped and a new illusion began.” He paused, debating if he should tell the other reason why.
“That can’t have been all. You are holding back on something.”
Well, fuck. He called me out.“Yeah. I noticed you started the battle in front of that odd shaped pebble. In your illusion, you were behind it. I used my chidori spear to measure the length I thought it roughly was.” Ravennus only nodded at the response.
The two shinobi launched at each other, sword in one’s hand, kunai in the other's. Taiga’s rapid attacks forced Ravennus to backpedal. A lightning infused blade swept upwards, catching Ravennus off guard. The cutting power of the sword sliced his kunai, leaving a shallow cut on Ravennus’ face.
“Y-You fucKING CUNT!” He yelled, jumping backwards while holding onto his face.
He didn’t hit my eye, but he got my face good. He held his left hand up to his face, covering his wound while moving his right hand behind his back to form hand signs.
Taiga charged, clapping his hands together.
Just a little bit longer. As he entered Sage Mode, he combined the natural energy with his own chakra, forming the effigy of a shark’s head in his left hand using water chakra; the form of a eagle’s head in his right hand with lightning chakra.
The quick attack caught Ravennus off guard, who had barely finished casting his jutsu. Light flashed behind his left hand.
Some sort of healing jutsu, using lightning maybe? Taiga didn’t have time to contemplate, instead slamming his left hand into Ravennus’ gut.
He isn’t disappearing now. I don’t know if the last cut was enough, but this shows it. This is no genjutsu. He rushed in for a fatal blow, prepared to strike with both hands. Seals flew out of Ravennus’ right hand.
“Forbidden Summoning: Human Sacrifice!” Smoke covered the battlefield as Taiga felt his attack strike true. As the dust cleared, a figure flew by Taiga’s right side. He was barely able to make out the form of Ravennus, bleeding profusely with his left eye closed.
Wh-who did I hit? He looked back to his victim, only to find a man he had never seen before.
Human Sacrifice Jutsu, huh. I suppose it worked, but how many sacrifices can you procure before I get to you? Ravennus pulled a kunai, lunging towards Taiga.
“Still coming after me with that weak Taijutsu of yours?” He pulled his hands from the man, reinvigorating the intensity of his active jutsu. Ravennus altered his path, instead dashing in front of Taiga. They locked eyes, Ravennus opening his left eye to reveal an intense storm raging within.
Shit! Taiga tried to look away, but it was already too late.
He looked around. The eye of a storm. Lightning bolted around the dark clouds, winds slashing at his face.
I-I can’t mo-move. He looked down to his arms. They were bound by bolts of lightning, the same with his legs.
An ocular based genjutsu. I can’t move. I can’t breath. The strong winds pounded at him, sucking the breath from him.
So that’s what he was doing with his eye earlier. I’m going to pass out. I can’t feel m-Victor: Ravennus!
