Rowan couldn't help feeling excited knowing that he was close to the exit of this dungeon. He didn't know about Jayden but he was going to take a warm bath when he was going to get back. He looked at Jayden and she looked really worried.
"It really was orange," she said as she looked at something in the distance. Rowan followed her line of sight and all he saw was his life flash before his eyes. In front of them was a massive tiger. It was laying on the ground and looking at them.
Rowan and Jayden stood still, unsure of what to do now. Who doesn't know of the might that a tiger had. It could probably take on that pride of lions on the thirteenth floor alone and still be victorious. The tiger stared at them for a while before getting up.
It dashed to Rowan and before he could react, it was in front of him. He placed his arms in front of him and the tiger's claw slapped into his arms. Rowan was sent flying but he managed to flip himself in the air and landed on his feet.
Jayden used this time to slash out a crescent moon projectile towards the tiger. Unfortunately, the tiger slapped the projectile away before dashing at her. Jayden braced herself to take on the attack but two Rowan's appeared in front of her. The first one grabbed her and flickered to a safe distance.
The other one made a hand seal before exploding. The tiger emerged from the explosion almost unscathed. Rowan looked at the tiger and only it's fur was slightly damaged. One thing was for sure though. The tiger was definitely angered.
Rowan took out the Kusanagi Sword and poured chakra into it to sharpen it's edges. Huge claws emerged from the tiger's paws and it dashed at Rowan. Rowan didn't show weakness and ran to the tiger with the sharpened sword.
The tiger swiped at Rowan with it's right paw and Rowan slashed out with his sword. The sword and the claws clashed before bouncing from each other. The tiger slashed out with it's left paw and left a huge claw print on the amour at Rowan's chest area.
Jayden came from Rowan's side and sent a half moon projectile at the tiger. The projectile managed to leave a small scar on the tiger's skin but that only maddened it further. It slashed out again with both paws and Rowan and Jayden was sent flying.
Rowan managed to flip back onto his feet again but Jayden was sent flying into a nearby rock. Rowan knew that she would have a hard time getting up from that, so he had to buy some time till he could come up with a decent strategy.
He made two shadowclones and sent out the first as he and the other clone prepared a Rasengan. The clone reached the tiger and used a genjutsu. Demon Illusion Shackling Stakes. The clone turned into a puff of smoke which revealed Rowan running towards it with a swirling Rasengan.
"Rasengan!" Rowan screamed as he shoves the swirling ball of chakra at the tiger's face. The tiger shook it's head to get rid of the genjutsu effects before slapping away Rowan's right hand that had the Rasengan and slashing across his chest again.
Rowan could feel the claws digging past the armour and into his flesh. The chakra that was used for the Rasengan dissipated and he immediately took action. He quickly slapped a paper bomb on the tiger's head and body flickered away.
The paper bomb exploded and Rowan appeared a distance away. Looking at the tiger that came from the explosion, all Rowan could see was that it was getting even angrier. He looked over at Jayden and saw that she at least managed to get to her feet but her legs were still wobbly.
Rowan looked back at the tiger. His chest was stinging from the pain of the claw mark of the tiger. He was getting frustrated after having been able to land a strong blow on the tiger. The tiger crouched slightly before dashing at Rowan.
Rowan body flickered towards the tiger. The tiger stretched out it's claws trying to impale Rowan but he twisted his body and managed to get past the tiger's claws. He pulled out five paper bombs before slapping it onto the scar that was created by Jayden's half moon projectile.
Rowan body flickered away again before the explosion occurred. The tiger finally bled which caused Rowan to regain some hope. Unfortunately, his chakra was beginning to run out. Having the sharingan active throughout the fight and constantly using the body flicker technique was taking its toll.
Rowan's head was shuffling through strategies at a fast pace before settling on one. Rowan yelled at the still shaky Jayden to get ready before placing his hands together. Multi-shadowclone jutsu. Lots of clones appeared and began running around the tiger.
The tiger was startled by the huge amount of clones but it got even more fired up. Rowan wasn't going to give it a chance though. Four clones shot with all the speed that the body flicker technique could muster up. They reached underneath the tiger before kicking it into the air.
Another four clones shot forward and kicked the tiger even higher into the air. The clones moved in batches of four as they kicked the tiger even higher. Three clones and a pretty tired Rowan flew to the air. Each of them had a Rasengan in hand.
"Rowan Uchiha Rasengan Barrage!" All the Rowans screamed as the four Rasengan smashed into the airborne tiger. It flew into the ground creating a massive crater. "Now!" Rowan screamed at Jayden who was standing at the edge of said crater.
Jayden stood there with the Kusanagi Sword in hand. She lift it high up and looked the tiger in it's eyes for the last time before swinging the sword down. New Moon Slash. All Rowan saw was the tiger's head separating from it's body.
