Is this the end?

Ken groaned as a kunai flew at him, and he was forced to dodge it, Yato also came to help him,"Can't you wait for a single moment?!" The Hyuuga snorted as he deflected a Kunai away with another kunai.

"Look who I have here…" A voice chuckled and the figure of Kuro appeared,"You did quite a number on me a week ago… I barely recovered you bastards!"

A scar was visible in his chest, of a chidori going through his body. The only reason he survived was because Koji used some forbidden seals to keep him alive at the cost of Kuro's lifespan. The dude was very proficient on seals which could potentially kill you it seems.

Ken snorted,"I'll kill you again… It seems I have to do it again!" He shouted as he went through hand seals,"Fire Style - Great FireBall!" And exhaled a large amount of fire, aiming it at Kuro who smirked and unleashed a wave of wind at Ken and Yato.

The two jutsus fought each other, and ultimately the fireball won,'He grew a lot in power… Why is he so powerful now… This is very weird.' He had put less chakra than Ken in his jutsu, which resulted in his loss.

"Fire Style - Great Fire Stream!" Ken shouted as fire left his mouth ,in a straight line with an extreme speed. Kuro slightly panicked but managed to dodge the attack,"That was our aim from the beginning!" Ken and Yato shouted as the latter appeared and slammed his palms on Kuro's body.

He sealed a total of 20 Chakra Points before he was stopped. Yato jumped behind and shouted at his friend,Ken to act.

Ken suddenly threw a large shuriken at Kuro who widened his eyes and tried to dodge, only to fail, the sealed Chakra Points had weakened his control over his body. He growled and blocked the attack with his thin blade.

"You bastards… Brats…" Kuro growled as he roared, he had two Elemental Affinities which he excelled at, Water and Wind, and less on Fire. He decided to use water on this moment,"Water Style - Water Bullets!" He shouted as he went through 3 hand seals and unleashed sharp water bullets at Ken and Yato, who both dodged.

'Those two Brats have improved greatly… How is this possible… A week ago I was easily able to injure both of them with a bit of trouble… But Now I am struggling to even damage one of them!'

Kuro groaned, this was becoming troublesome,"I'll SHOW YOU WHY I WAS CALLED THE GHOUL WHEN I WAS A JOUNIN IN KIRIGAKURE!" He yelled out as he brought his sword forward, this time however, the blade had turned blood red, and one could imagine blood falling down from it.

"Eat… Niberu!" He shouted (Niberu is short for Human Eater.) as his sword suddenly released a large shock wave, which was heard almost everywhere. Ken's eyes widened,'This is beyond my power level...Are we going to fall down here?' Yato was in a similar situation.

Not to mention them being weaker, they also failed in experience when compared to Kuro, who was in his 20s, far more experienced than the eight years old genins, which infuriated the Ghoul even more, some brats wounding him?! Unforgivable!

Kuro's blade tip suddenly opened up, and a tongue came out of it,"This is strangely like Samehada… Does it also have an consciousness?" Yato thought, he had read about the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist

"You must be wondering what Niberu is… And comparing it to Samehada right? Don't compare my sword to that shitty shark creepy weapon. This sweetie here is the pinnacle of human murder! It was created by sacrificing over fifty thousand people to it!"

Ken knitted his eyebrows, that sounded familiar to both him and Yato. " You must be thinking about what I just said right… Well I was talking about the Massacre of the Kurogakure… That's where I got my name too…"

At the mention of Kurogakure, a former hidden village, which was destroyed around twenty years ago, Yato's eyes widened, while Ken gained a frown in his face,"My father killed and massacred the village… Creating this weapon, which was said to have been wielded by the son of Indra Otsutsuki, Yarui Uchiha!"

Kuro laughed loudly,"With this I can kill a Kage and absorb his power! I am invincible!" His sword screeched,"See? Niberu agrees with me… Let's show those people what you can do! DEVOUR!" He shouted as black chains shot out from the mouth of the Niberu, straight at Ken and Yato who were panicking inwardly.

The appearance of Ryu, however changed everything,Ryu's earlier performed jutsu, Gaia's Presence gave him near unlimited insight over the battlefield, and noticing the fact that his friends were losing, he had seen everything also due to the fact his original body had always been near Ken, Yamato was fighting with the help of his Wood Clone.

"Wind Style - Flying Rasengan!" Ryu roared as he threw a rasengan at Kuro, who smirked and blocked it with Niberu. " Is that all you morons can do?! I expected better from you brats!" He yelled out, not noticing the dent made to his sword.

'A few more Rasengans should weaken it enough for me to break it with my physical strength. I'll just use Shadow Clones to attack him with some more Rasengans'

"WITH THIS POWER I AM NEAR INVINCIBLE!" Kuro laughed out as red chakra escaped Niberu, and headed at Ryu and the rest. Ryu's previous plans were interrupted and he snorted. He noticed Niberu's previous dent was already healed,'He uses the presence of flesh nearby to regenerate itself… What a sneaky ability, seems he scraped some of Ken's flesh before.'

Ryu slammed his feet in the ground and clasped his hands,"Wood Style - Wood Sage's Influence!" He shouted as several tree roots popped out of nowhere and shot at Kuro who deflected them using Niberu.

"Ken!" Ryu shouted as he gave Ken a hand sign, telling him to use a B Rank Jutsu. Ken nodded and his hand went through several hand seals,"Fire Style - Great Fire Annihilation!" He shouted as an immense amount of fire left his mouth, taking the shape of a sea literally.

"This is the end!"
