Momentarily filled to the brim with adrenaline as his accomplishment gripped him from what had occurred, a sharp pain in the side of his waist was felt, looking down he saw a single shuriken embedded in the side of his waist and a severed part of his shirt visibly caused by another poorly aimed shuriken. Luckily his roar had prevented the other shuriken from making contact and to Ryouta's satisfaction, he had knocked the other child backwards quite the distance, noticing that he were at a loss for air brought him an even greater sense of pride in his steady growth.

"He's pretty good" the golden haired boy thought in commendation to the skills of his peer, noting his analysis of his opponent and keeping it close in mind, his opponent had finally gathered his wits about him. Reaching down, he clasped the shuriken digging into his waist between the index finger and thumb of his left hand, prying the stinging metal out and dropping it to the floor, the crimson liquid trickling down his side slowly. Afterwards Ryouta had descended into a form imitating that of a four legged animal, now supported by his hands and feet, his cloak seemed more suitable to the form, surrounding him in a clearly visible golden ethereal tiger consisting completely of chakra.

The claws of chakra pierced into the mountaintop surface, holding him steady as held the child in place, breathing steadily, suddenly excited at the prospect of the battle, a swift burst of wind rushing towards him. In response he emitted a softer version of his roar, limiting the amount of chakra reinforcing the roar so that it were enough of a force to disperse the wind, yet what remained hidden was the shuriken, after a slight gasp exhumed, he shifted his head to a side as the shuriken scratched the child's cheek and pierced his shoulder. Ryouta grit his teeth against one another and let out a soft growl before arising to his feet and running towards the opposition at full force, after closing the distance, he extended his right hand and brought its claw down towards the opponent's left shoulder whilst his left hand scavenged the contents of his leftmost pouch in preparation for a counter if need be.
