Chapter 16: Fighting Budo

'Budo, a [Teigu User], there are rumors that Budo is the strongest person beside Esdeath,' Thought Raito while staring at the armored man in front of him.

"Let's not fight here," Raito said surprising Great General Budo.

"Yeah," Budo agreed as he cannot used his full power if they will fight at the Imperial Palace.

"Lead the way to the Training Ground or somewhere we can fully fight," Raito said as he wants to know about this rumored second strongest person.

"Follow me," Budo said as he headed towards the Training Ground of Imperial Guards usually used.

"Clean this mess," Raito ordered one of the remaining Imperial Guards then followed behind Budo.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What are you intentions?" Asked Budo while standing a bit away from Raito, right now the 2 are in the Middle of the Vast Training Grounds.

"Me? I'm just blowing up some steams," Raito said as he took 2 kunai from his pocket and started to play with them. He held 1 Kunai on each hand.

"Beating Imperial Guards and worst attacking inside the Imperial Palace just because you want to blow up some steams?" Budo was curious at the same time angry at Raito's action.

"Yeah," Raito nodded.

"Let's forget about that matter for now, Let's fight!" With that said Raito threw the Kunai with Explosive Tags towards Budo.

'Fast,' Thought Budo as he blocked the 2 Kunai with his armor.

*KULOG* *KULOG*

The sunny sky became a dark cloudy and sometimes a lightning appeared here and there.

"Interesting," Raito figured that Budo can control the weather or something similar to that.

"Lightning Crash!" A fast lightning came towards Raito's direction.

*WHOOSH* *BOOM*

As soon as Raito disappeared, the Lightning crashed to the ground that just was Raito's previous location, destroying it completely.

Raito soon appeared behind Budo with his Unsheathed Lightning Chakra Katana{Low Grade}, and started to attacked him.

Budo was taken back by Raito's speed but as an Experience General he immediately managed to blocked some Raito's attacked.

"Woh~ You got a good reflexes there," Raito praised Budo as he jumped back away, creating some distance between them.

"You're fast too," Budo complimented back.

"I know, right?" With that Raito disappeared and appeared in front of Budo and started to attacked him.

Budo can managed to avoided or blocked the Attacks of Raito but not all. Budo realized that he couldn't fight Raito at a close distance so,

"Levitation!" Budo started to Levitate and flew high in the air.

"Hoh~" Raito was interesting about Budo's [Teigu].

"Now, your speed is useless," Budo said as he prepared to charged a large amount of energy then.

"Advent of Thunder Emperor!" The weather turned worse,

*KIDLAT* *KIDLAT*

Several of Lightning Pillar came down from the Sky and headed towards Raito.

*WHOOSH* *BOOM*

Raito managed to avoid all of the Lightning Pillar by running here and there.

"It looks like I need to show off some of my skills," Raito mumbled as he made a hand sign.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu"

*POOF*

1 Clone appeared beside him and they nod at each other.

Raito disappeared from his Spot

The Clone took a ten Shurikens from his Pocket that have Explosive Tags and threw towards the Floating Budo.

*TING* *TING*

Budo blocked the Attacked with eased by forming an lightning Shield in front of him.

*POOF*

One of the blocked Shuriken Transformed into Raito.

Raito earlier used Transformation Jutsu to make himself look like a Shuriken with Explosive Tags.

"Wh-" Budo was surprised seeing the Transformation of Raito.

"Now, you can't dodge this," Raito said with a slight smile as he did fast movements of Hand Signs.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball!" Raito spew a 10 Meters Big of Fireball from his Mouth, First the Fireball was smaller but Raito put more Chakra to make the Fireball 10 Meters Big.

*BOOM*

As Raito was beside Budo and pretty closed at him, the Fireball quickly crashed into Budo.

The stormy weather turned back into Sunny.

*BOOM*

Budo's figure crashed on the Ground, his body was burned but he is alive.

His Armor was burned down while his [Adramalech] [Teigu] was also somewhat burned.

Budo was lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Mystic Palm" Raito healed the Burn Marks of Budo, it's good that nobody was watching this Fight as they might get heart attacked as because their Mighty General was complete defeated.

After minutes of Raito healing the Great General Budo, the Great General Budo's injuries are completely healed now.

"Hey, wake up,"

*Slap* *Slap*

Raito keep slapping the cheeks of Great General Budo until he wakes up a few minutes later.

"What the-" Budo saw his Opponent that was sitting in beside him while his right hand was in the air seemingly wanting to slap someone but when his opponent saw him woke up, the slapping hand completely folded and returned to Raito's right side.

"You're awake now," Raito said with a slight smile.

"Why you didn't kill me?" Asked Budo, Budo was planning to kill Raito at all cost but now he was defeated, he accepted his Death, he was only regretful that he wouldn't be able to stopped the Prime Minister Honest on his Evil Plans.

"Well, as I said, I was just blowing off some steams," Raito said, if Raito killed the Great General Budo that would make some problems for him and he doesn't want that, of course, for his Little Princess.

"Blowing off some steams, huh?" Budo stared at the Cloudy Sky.

"Then you don't have any evil Intention towards his highness?" Asked the Great General Budo while staring at the Cloudy Sky, earlier the Sunny Sky turned into Cloudy.

"Why would I?"

"I see," A look of knowingly appeared on the face of the Great General Budo.

"Let's go eat something," Raito suggested as he was getting Hungry.

"Yeah," Budo nodded while feeling some tingly feeling from his both of cheeks.

They said that an enemy can be turned into friends and this what happened to the both of them
