Although the Poisonous Rain was a formidable jutsu, it would not find the mark of the ground, or even the battlefield Athos and Ryoji had been battling on. Just as Ryoji was a blight that was on this realm, Athos was the force that stood against him time and time again. The barrier that kept the two of them sealed together in this arena would hold strong against the acidic rain for now, it was obvious that the rain was starting to quickly tear through the physical barrier. Thanks to that though, it would allow Athos to only focus on what was happening in front of him at the moment.
From what had happened before his eyes, it was obvious that Ryoji didn’t like their banter back and forth. But Athos had promised that he wasn’t going to hold back, and already had Sage Mode and Raiton no Yoroi to buff himself even further… But that wasn’t enough for what was going to happen next. There would be an explosion of blue around his form as he entered Full Saiken Mode, a split Hoari down the center and black lines along his whole form.
With Saiken Mode active, there was a perfect concoction of chakra flowing through the man, his chakra merging perfectly with Saiken’s to make an almost new chakra signal, and fueled by the Senjutsu chakra that was flooding his system, caused him to reach unbelievable levels. The lightning that was around his form exploded outwards, almost as if physically tearing apart the ground and air around him from the lengths that the Raiton no Yoroi had been increased. Athos’ Saiken mode alone had been levels over Sage Mode, let alone the mixture of three powerful techniques. But this was only the beginning, as he hands released the blades that they held and formed two different seals. The first seal had brought a poof of smoke and the life of two clones of his own, the man having split his chakra even three ways. The second had been the first of a string of seals, which would be finished easily, the last one being held.
Before the cloud of smoke that had been summoned had fully formed, Athos would no longer be in Ryoji’s vision. Perhaps the man would be able to follow one of the forms of Athos, but even that would be an outstanding feat considering the circumstances. But the question wouldn’t really come down to what the Sharingan was capable of but the processing of Ryoji’s brain, his reaction time high yes, but only increased by the Sharingan and nothing else, Sage Mode only helping with physical abilities.The redhead would have moved forward, not moving across the ground but on chakra platforms that form beneath his feet so effortless he may as have been running on the air. It was an easy task to move over the tidal wave and on the other side of it. As he reached this destination, out of sight of all three Ryoji and past the wave of Iron Sand, the hand that was holding the jutsu would slam onto the ground. An Uzumaki Sealing technique would be placed down.
At the same time that the real Athos had moved, the second clone darted to the right at the same insane speed as the original Athos, its right hand taking Oken within its grasp. Its left hand formed the same seals as the real Athos had, planning on summoning forth the same sealing jutsu. But as it did this, it would also start funneling its chakra into the barrier that was being destroyed by the rain, as if to replenish its life. Just as fast as the rain was eating away at the barrier, it would heal at the same rate, thanks to the mixture of chakras that was currently Athos’. Once he was at the perfect distance, diagonal from Ryoji on one side.
The Third and Final Athos, the second clone, of course had dashed to the left, making sure to take the Kusanagi in its left hand. His right hand formed, of course, the same seals that the other two men had formed. It moved to the opposite side of the other clone as it slapped its hand against the ground, the three of them now in the shape of a triangle. But from his back would erupt countless chakra chains that would tear into the ground before erupting out of the ground not only beneath all three Ryoji, but as well as most of the area that was currently about to be sealed away by the redheads. They would aim to wrap and trap and just distract Ryoji, for only a moment, seeing that would be all it needed.
These actions would be costly, surely, but if it worked then the price would be much worth it. With the three men taking the position of a triangle, it would be revealed that they formed a triangle that would take up majority of the arena that had been formed. The seals formed from their chakra would explode with strength and prowess, lines coming from each of the formed seals and moving across the ground. The lines would only take a second to form thanks to being fueled with the powerful chakra surging through his body. Thanks to the speed boost that the Saiken mode granted him right in the beginning, Ryoji would most likely only see the flash of blue before the seals would have been placed down.
The sealing zone hoped to get all three Ryoji and the Iron all in one swoop, also causing the rain to stopt thanks to Ryoji chakra hopefully being taken off the field. If all went as planned, it would be over in something akin to the blink of an eye.
