The Mandarin

-30 Hours Till Deadline-

Xu Wenwu, the Mandarin, was sitting on his throne in his traditional Chinese mansion clad in a conventional Chinese robe. He listened to the album that he used to play with his now-deceased wife. Until his new young adopted son came to deliver news.

one of the first people to hear of the assassination. 

Mattias, known as Razor Fist, knelt before the throne of his leader, the Mandarin. His devotion to the Ten Rings was profound, having been adopted by Xu Wenwu, the organization's founder.

"Master, our hidden base is under attack by multiple invading Shinobi,"

He reported.

A heavy silence filled the throne room, rendering Mattias anxious despite his towering stature of 197cm and a muscular build of over 200 pounds. He felt small under the ancient gaze of his adoptive father, who stood no taller than 167cm.

Despite their ignorance of the attackers' identity, their loyalty to the Mandarin was unwavering. The ranks of the Ten Rings, assembled like a disciplined military battalion, stood in attentive silence.

The Mandarin, however, seemed indifferent to the others, his gaze fixed on Mattias, assessing him, until he chose to shatter the heavy quietude.

"Describe the attackers. What do they look like? Can you discern any significant details that reveal their clan, Mattias?"

His adoptive father's command carried a weight greater than Mt. Tai, compelling Mattias to comply.

"They attacked recently, donning the typical Shinobi attire of the Continental. Each stands around 200 cm tall, with blue eyes, and they are lethally proficient in Sanda and Wing Chun martial arts,"

He reported, his head bowed.

"Master, the oddest part is that they've overpowered many of our members, yet they haven't killed a single one."

Among the assembled men of the Ten Rings, there was no audible whispering; their discipline forbade it. However, their exchanged glances and subtle gestures betrayed their curiosity about Mattias' point.

"Mattias, are you saying that our Continental assailants are thrashing our members as if they were mere commoners, yet they refrain from using deadly force?"

Inquired the Mandarin.

Mattias raised his head with a grunt and replied.

"Yes, master! I engaged them, only to have my blade shattered and several ribs broken by a Sanda sidekick. They spared me, deeming me no threat."

Silence filled the throne room, with a persistent haze of doubt. Nonetheless, Mattias would not defy his master's will.

Their ancient leader stood from his throne and with a firm voice spoke.

"It seems that I had to demonstrate to these intruders the power that is behind the organization of the Ten Rings."

Outside the Ten Rings' secret base, a dozen masked shinobi clashed with the Ten Rings organization's members.

One shinobi hooked an opponent, blocked a flying kick with a cross block, spun 360 degrees, and backhanded him into unconsciousness.

Another shinobi leaped, kneeing an adversary in the face, shattering his jaw. When a Ten Rings member attempted a sneak attack, the shinobi countered with a backfist, breaking the assailant's nose and eliciting screams of agony in the ground.

Employing a wing arm, he parried a punch and executed a series of finger strikes to vulnerable areas on his foe's eyes and neck, immobilizing them before delivering a front thrust kick.

Confronted by several Ten Rings members, another shinobi was interrupted by a kunai thrown between them.

"Remember me? I owe you for dislocating my arm!"

Yelled Death Dealer.

The assassin drew two kunai's and aimed one at the shinobi's head. However, instead of drawing blood, the shinobi caught Death Dealer's wrist, forcing him to drop the weapon.

Using the momentum from the wrist twist, Death Dealer launched into the air, spinning and landing a kick on the shinobi's chest.

Having anticipated the move, the shinobi raised his arm to block most of the impact.

As Death Dealer processed the failed attack, another Ten Rings member lunged at the shinobi, who responded with a backhand, sending the attacker flying into a tree, and breaking numerous bones.

"Oops, forgot to readjust my strength!"

The shinobi exclaimed.

Unfazed by the recent events, another member attacked him with a straight right hook.

He raised his left hand, forming a triangle to block the hit, then countered with a hook to the member's cheek and a sweeping kick to the left thigh, effectively removing him from the fight.

The shinobi glanced at another member cowering nearby the one he had just swiftly incapacitated.

"I apologize in advance, but I have to knock you out!"

He raised his leg high into the air and brought it down sharply, striking the member on the head and rendering him unconscious.

Death Dealer hurled iron darts at the shinobi, who caught them deftly with both hands. He quickly redirected them towards other members of the Ten Rings, incapacitating them by targeting their joints.

Picking up his discarded kunai, Death Dealer launched a spinning kick at the shinobi's lower waist, which was blocked. He followed up with a second kick to his opponent's face along with one of his kunai, damaging the mask.

The Shinobi stepped back and tore off his mask that was obstructing his vision, revealing his face: a young Caucasian male in his early twenties, with blue eyes, dark red hair, and a clear complexion.

After a moment of contemplation, Death Dealer recognized his adversary.

"I recognize you; you're Leon Uzumaki! Why are you attacking our organization? We have no quarrel with the Continental!"

Leon simply shrugged and replied.

"I know, and it won't help you. I'm just blowing off steam!"

With a single hand, he formed the tiger seal and executed the Body Flicker Technique, materializing behind Death Dealer to deliver a roundhouse kick that sent him tumbling to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a ring was hurled at Leon, catching him off guard. He skidded across the ground, crashing and forming a crater, only for the settling dust to reveal a log puppet in his place.

"You insolent intruders! You will all pay for harming my men!"

The Mandarin bellowed, eyeing the remaining shinobi.

Another shinobi's aura flared into a golden hue as he entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. With explosive force, he launched himself, leaving a crater where he had stood as the ground shattered beneath him.

The shinobi in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode soared towards the Mandarin, his right fist clenched and targeting his adversary's face.

The Mandarin parried the blow with the Ten Ring, unleashing a shockwave upon contact.

Both the Mandarin and the shinobi were repelled; the Mandarin shifted back mere millimeters, while the shinobi was flung meters away, his clothing and mask torn. Rising to his feet, he revealed himself to be Leon.

"Heh, seems the Ten Rings are stronger than I anticipated. Time to notch it up a level. Kurama Mode!"

Leon declared.

[In Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, users' eyes turn golden, though their pupils remain unchanged. Upon entering Kurama Mode, Leon's pupils become slits, and the whisker-like markings on his face thicken, resembling the ☰ trigram.

The chakra shroud morphs to mimic a full-length haori. Essentially, Kurama Mode is the evolved form of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, granting the ability to use Tailed Beast Balls. Leon can also partially manifest aspects of Kurama, such as its head and tails, if necessary.]

Leon swayed to the left, summoning one of the Nine-Tails' claws. He raised it to intercept the Mandarin.

The Mandarin swiftly transformed his ring into whips, striking the claw and halting Leon's advance. Wenwu was taken aback, as such a blow would have shattered a normal person's arm and body.

"What-"

The Mandarin gasped as he saw another claw materializing, aiming to capture him. In a swift motion, he propelled himself backward with the Ten Rings, sending one hurling towards Leon, only to have it deflected.

Catching the rebounding ring, the Mandarin watched as the ground behind him crumbled. Regaining his focus, he turned back to Leon, only to find him conjuring the Nine-Tails' head.

Leon had completed the gathering of the Tailed Beast Chakra, forming a Tailed Beast Ball.

"Let's see how you handle this! Tailed Beast Bomb!"

Leon hurled the pitch-black sphere as if he were an artillery cannon.

The Mandarin, once again, extended his rings into whips, spinning them rapidly to create a barrier.

The Tailed Beast Bomb collided with the force field, ricocheting off and rocketing kilometers away towards the mountains. The detonation of the Tailed Beast Bomb unleashed a blast akin to a nuclear explosion, leaving a vast crater in its wake.

"Mon...Mon... Monster!"

Soon after, screams echoed across the battlefield as Ten Ring members fell to their knees in despair, witnessing the other shinobi enter the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

Removing their masks, they revealed themselves to be Leon, indicating they had been battling wood clones all along.

As the Leons stared down the Ten Ring members who had uttered that word, a chill ran down their spines.

The main body, facing the Mandarin, reverted to his normal state and approached the stunned men.

"If we continue this fight, we're only going to attract unwanted attention, Uzumaki! What do you want?"

Said the Mandarin.

Leon responded with a toothy grin

"I merely wanted to assess the capabilities of your men and yourself, which is why I refrained from killing anyone, opting instead to inflict severe injuries."

"Say, how about we discuss this over a cup of tea?"

He suggested, as he dismissed his wood clones and hundreds of shinobi materialized to tend to the wounded.

Wenwu, somewhat at a loss for words, eventually responded

"We could have Da Hong Pao or Jasmine tea?"
