The man watched his brother, not with his eyes, but his senses. The sheer volume of the flames would keep them alive, preventing them from fizzling away as his brother believed. The effects of the Kamui hadn’t gone unnoticed, letting out a chuckle when his brother made his reappearance. He would remain quiet as his brother spoke, a simple thought floating in his mind. ’This seems to be the final stage.’ His thought would be met with a gentle purring from Matatabi, knowing she was pulsing her chakra within him. It was steadily growing more and more in tune with his heartbeat, and the more attuned their heartbeats grew, the stronger his presence became, with him pulsing their combined chakra out in terrifying waves. ”Okay brother, I shall fight you as an equal.” Through the pulses of chakra, the visage Matatabi the Nekomata would appear all around him in a display of unbridled Killing Intent, this would seem to feed the Reibi, but something would be noticeably different. ”Allow me to set our stage.”
Ray would feel, immediately, that his brother’s demeanor had shifted. Despite the wave of Killing Intent being filled with so much evil, there wouldn’t be a shred of hate, nor any other negative emotion. The flames above were affecting the weather as they made their descent, but as Ray stood at the ready, chains composed of chakra began to spill from around the Nara at speeds that still registered as moving quickly even with the amount of attention Ray’s synapses’ were receiving, thanks to the active techniques. His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would note two things were happening, if he were to pay close enough attention. The chains moved and connected to form a barrier, and decorated on the chains would be additional script that would make the Space-Time Cancellation Formula. The Adamantine Sealing Chain Barrier would be small, 65 meters ahead of the Nara, leaving the Nara and perhaps an inch of the gaping hole behind him as the South side of the barrier. Ray hadn’t stated where he had made his reappearance, but it was safe to assume it was around 15-20 meters, leaving the far edge of the barrier 50-45 meters behind him, with the sides being the exact same difference from either side, making the new arena a perfect cube leaving them around 30 meters or so from each side of the cube. At its completion, the conjoined flames of Ignis would fall on and around the barrier, igniting into an aura of blue as they made contact with the power of Matatabi, pretty much making an impromptu Matatabi Flaming Formation, leaving them with only one side that was fire free, behind the Nara. Because of the bright flames, Ray’s shadow would split into three-four, going completely crazy and stretching out vastly. The heat would be as if the sun were in attendance to their battle, looming only 30 meters above them, unless his brother wanted to break the ground to put distance between the ceiling and the excessive heat permeating from them, but he would only meet the bottom of the cube around the 35th meter mark.
The look in the Nara’s eyes showed that he was ready for them to end things. The Reibi would find his source of nutrients lacking, whether or not it affected Ray’s form, depended on the darkness dwelling in his brother’s heart. Was it strong enough to make up for the loss, or would he brace himself for what would come. Kamui would be impossible, and breaking out from the barrier was impossible for the Kyuubi, leaving Ray little to no choice but to accept where he was, roasting from the sheer heat from the flames of Ignis, the barrier literally protecting him from the worst of it. He would ultimately remain where he was standing, the stage set, the remaining trees and anything without proper heat resistance suffering from severe dehydration, leaving the fight to be a real race against time.
