Summary; A Wrath-day affected Kiba looks to satiate his hunger for a good fight.
Log;
Kiba entered the forest, Akamaru by his side, ready for battle. It had been far too long, in his opinion, since the last time he fought someone. However, he really didn't know anything about his opponent, this Hans person. In the back of his mind, he wondered if he wasn't biting off more than he could chew.

"Hans! Where are you?!"

The was a sudden tap on the boy's shoulder, followed by a single word.

"Here."

Behind was was Hans, face as unreadable as ever, hand hanging casually at his sides. Yellow eyes bored into the young ninja from beneath his hat.

"Are you ready?"

Kiba stepped back a few feet and turned to face the man, a bit of a grin on his face. Both he and Akamaru grin at each other, then nod at the man.

"Yeah. Let's go, Akamaru!"

With a loud bark, the two strike at the man, Kiba with his own two hands, Akamaru with his fangs; they weren't going to give this person any handicaps.

Hans stepped back with the blows, turning aside or blocking the strikes from his opponents as best he could. Heavy boots danced over the ground as he repeatedly changed up his footwork to avoid letting things move into a predictable rythym.

He jumped back a short distance and lashed out with a series of round-house kicks, sweeping low, then high. The force of the kick smashed through a tree to the side of them on it's way to it's targets.

Akamaru was swift enough to evade the kicks, but Kiba wasn't; as one of the kicks connected with him, Kiba disappeared in a puft of smoke, a log just about his size replacing him.

The genuine Kiba reappeared behind Hans, and with Akamaru in front of Hans, that gave them the perfect position to attack.

"Gatsuuga, Akamaru!"

Barking in acknowledgement, Akamaru ran towards Hans, leaping into the air and spinning, turning into a massive drill; simultaneously, Kiba did the same, the pair aiming directly for Hans.

Hans has a moment to adjust to the sudden change, his hearing shifting to the acknowledgement bark behind him. He quickly flexed the muscles in legs and launched himself vertically, bouncing off of several trees. He smashed into the bark of each one in turn, causing them to fall toward the last location of his opponents.

His boots alighted on a stump after felling seven of them, allowing him to view the terrain again.

Kiba and Akamaru continued their Gatsuuga uninterrupted, meeting up together, then turning straight upward, the momentum of their attack propelling them up. As the trees fell upon them, the force of their combined attacks either knocked the trees aside, or drilled them to pieces. When the attack was done, Kiba and Akamaru stood on two adjacent trees, neither of which had been taken down by Hans. After taking a moment to sniff out their prey, Akamaru went in headfirst, using Tsuuga at full power, while Kiba went a different route, climbing down the tree, then stealthfully moving around the forest to sneak up on Hans.

Sneaking up on Hans was easier said, than done. His acute level of hearing picked up on the sounds of things crawling through the underbrush, one of which sounded larger than all the rest. His ears twitched, trying to gauge the direction of the sound, which distracted him enough for Akamaru to strike.

He turned and reacted by instinct to the incoming animal. Lashing out with his fist in a straight jab at the front of the spinning beast.

The jab almost immediately stopped Akamaru's Tsuuga in it's tracks. Akamaru landed a few feet away from Hans, growled, then lunged at him, teeth flared.

Meanwhile, the sound of Kiba rustling through the underbrush suddenly stopped. Either Kiba had stopped moving altogether, or he had found a much more silent method of travel, one that also managed to mask his smell.

Stopping the Tsuuga and torn up his hand, maiming several fingers and breaking bones. Hans stared at his ruined hand and removed his glove. He seem more interested, than pained.

"Very quick."

He removed his other glove and threw his coat and cover to the side, now wearing his undershirt. With a quick move, he drew his bayonet and rushed Akamaru, intent on intercepting and disemboweling the animal.

It didn't take Akamaru any time at all to sense Hans' killing intent. Akamaru turned around completely and started running away at full speed.

As Akamaru ran, Kiba found this as good of a time as any to strike. As Akamaru turned to hide behind a grove of trees, a massive Tsuuga, packed thick with earth and stone, rose up from the ground right in front of Hans, aimed directly for his midsection.

"Tsuuga Dosekiryuu!!"

The Hans sensed the attack, but was too far into his rush to adjust to the homing attack. It slammed into his side, digging in, and carried him back to smash through several trees. He made no sound, nor even changed his expression, merely glaring at the boy. The werewolf eventually fell off the attack and skidded across the earth.

"Strong for a human," he said, jumping to his feet, a large gash in his side leaving his insides exposed. He calmly assessed the wound and concentrated. His body began to contort and change, fur sprouting, limbs elongating, and his skull changing shape.

Kiba looked on in shock and awe. He was fighting a werewolf? A werewolf that seemed to withstand his newest attack like it was nothing?!

"What the hell are you? Didn't my attack damage you at all?"

He pointed to his rapidly healing side, muscles stretching and bones popping to accomodate his new form.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr..." he growled, crouching low to ready for his next attack. He burst forward with preternatural speed, closing the distance in seconds and slashing at them both with his claws.

Kiba didn't have enough time to Kawarimi this time. Both of them got struck, causing them to back away a few feet. Kiba looked at Akamaru, wishing for him to recieve as little damage as possible.

"Looks like we're fighting wolf with wolf, Akamaru."

Akamaru nods, and Kiba hops onto Akamaru's back, readying a quick hand seal before...

"Jinju Konbi Henge: Sotoro!"

Immediately, a giant cloud of smoke surrounded Kiba and Akamaru. When it parted, what stood in their place was a gigantic, two headed, white wolf, snarling down at Hans with a similar level of bloodthirst.

Hans jumped far back, holding onto the side of a tree and calculating the new situation.

"So I see..." he said, leaping high into the air, over the tree-tops. In the sky, he changed yet again, his clothes shearing apart as his body changed again. He touched down a much larger animal than when he had gone up.

He snarled menacingly, his rage tinged with excitement. This was the first time in many years when he had been able to use his final form in combat. From man, to wolf-man, to great wolf. He charged the impostor wolf, aiming to lock his jaws around one of the necks.

Unfortunately for Hans, even with his final form, he was still smaller than Sotoro. As he charged, Sotoro's heads both smiled, then quickly leapt into the air, spinning with more power and ferocity than ever, aimed for the scent of the wolf-man.

"Garouga!"

Hans was smashed to the ground, but quickly rebounded, dashing around the larger beast and taking richochet shots, opting for a quicker, long-term method of battle. He'd just pick away at the tree until it finally fell.

He began to speed up more and more, adding more force to whatever strikes he could land. Though moving at his speed was making some shots hard to aim.

It didn't take long before Hans' tactics started paying off. Sotoro was powerful--there was no doubt about that--but the disadvantage to such size is that a capable enemy could easily run circles around such a beast, attacking, yet never getting attacked. Despite Sotoro's best efforts at trying to strike Hans, his smaller frame was too hard to keep up with, and before long, the massive beast fell, splitting back into the two that had created it.

WolfHans' movements began to slow, until he was walking at a leisurely pace, his various wounds sealing up. The best plodded over to Kiba, the fleshy portion of his nose the size of the boy's head. He gently sniffed him, looking him over. Then he walked over to Akamaru, doing the same to the fallen dog.

He backed a few steps, scratched the ground a few times, and snorted loudly in a huff, then reverted back to his human form.

"A good battle. Very good, for a dog," he said, draping his overcoat over his own naked form and putting hi cover on, "I am leaving."

As Kiba watched Hans leave, he wasn't sure what to do. He still had the energy to fight, but against this guy...this...werewolf...he didn't seem to have a chance to matter what he did. As Akamaru cozied up beside him, shaking slightly in fear, Kiba just stayed put, watching Hans leave, grateful to him for sparing his life.
