"Brainless idiot. You were the one who left first," Ai said darkly. "You were my target all along. If you hadn't left, we'd have finished fighting ages ago."
"Is that so?" Kaido looked at the companion behind him.
A hesitant expression appeared on the other's face. "I think he's right."
Realization dawned on Kaido. "So it was my fault."
"This idiot." Ai snorted, folding his arms as lightning flashed over his body.
"Kaido!! Let's settle this!"
Kaido lowered the Spiked Club from his shoulder. "Just what I had in mind."
They charged at each other simultaneously.
"Kaido!"
"Ai!"
As they roared together, both groups moved at the same time, charging to kill one another.
"Kill!!"
Ai and Kaido exchanged their first blows. Lightning flashed as Ai delivered a high kick to Kaido's chin, snapping his entire head upward.
Kaido swung his Spiked Club hard. Ai caught it and used its momentum to leap straight up.
Lightning flashed over his body as he raised his leg high and brought it crashing down on Kaido.
"Liger Bomb!!"
Kaido's head slammed into the ground, cracking the earth all around him.
"Boss Kaido!!" everyone cried out.
Kaido staggered to his feet, his body shifting straight into a half-dragon form. Rubbing his neck, he addressed Ai in the distance in a deep voice. "Is that all the strength you've got? It doesn't hurt at all."

A piece of paper covered in markings suddenly began to spark.
It was an Explosive Tag from the Shinobi World.
Boom!!
The Explosive Tag detonated, engulfing Kaido's entire upper body.
Did it work?
Ai remained where he was and watched Kaido emerge
