"Begin!"
Bursting forth, Minato made the first move. Slashing his kunai at top speed, he aimed for the chest.
Anticipating the move through his Sharingan, Jun easily dodged to kunai, pivoting sideways and throwing a punch at Minato's face.
"WAH!" The audience went crazy. Jun's movements made it look like he could see the future.
"Seeing Jun's fist getting dangerously close, Minato ducked and pressed on the ground, propelling his kunai towards Jun's exposed stomach.
Smiling, Jun let the kunai pierce him as he disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappearing on top of the blade.
Seeing Jun land so gracefully on Minato's extended weapon, the crowd roared with vigor.
"Is that all you've got?" Crossing his arms, Jun relaxedly stood, supported only by Minato's arm. "I'm getting bored already."
"Ngh!"Retrieving his blade, Minato watched as Jun landed on the ground once again before retreating a few steps.
'He's better than me at taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu... Basically everything. If I want to win, I'll have to rely on unpredictability.' Minato narrowed his eyes, biting into his finger to draw some blood. 'I need to use it!'
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" With a low growl, Minato placed his hand on the ground, and strange markings extended from it. With a puff of smoke, a giant magenta-colored toad appeared under him.
It had black markings on his face, arms, and legs with two horn-like protrusions on its head.
It also wore a black kimono, coupled with a white sash and mesh armor underneath. A sakazuki-like[1] shield was wrapped around its back, and it held a large sasumata[2] in its hand.
The toad was around five times as tall as Minato.
"Ken-san, could you perhaps help me out? Sorry for calling out of the blue!"
"Minato? Sure. I just hope that I don't become a burden. After all, I'm clumsy..." With a slightly nervous expression, Gamaken took out his shield and got ready to help.
"Thanks!" Taking out some smoke bombs, Minato got ready. 'First, I need to get rid of the Sharingan's visibility!'
Flinging the smoke bombs in between them, Minato watched as a large purple could formed and entered it along with Gamaken.
"Interesting." Jun waited for Minato to make his move, the corners of his mouth forming an eager smile. 'Let's see... what he's got up his sleeve-'
Interrupting his thoughts, Jun felt multiple projectiles flying towards him through the smoke.
'Too easy!' Jun smiled and used his Sharingan and dodged the needles with ease. 'Was that all-'
"Now!" Without him noticing, Minato had flickered behind his back, aiming to grab him. Unable to react in time, Jun watched as Minato impacted with him, both landing on the ground.
"Minato! Now!" Gamaken's yell resounded across the arena as he blew a strong gust of wind, dispersing the smoke cloud.
Looking up, Jun noticed that Minato and the toad were both in the air.
'Then this one's a shadow-clone?' Without a second thought, Jun stabbed into the one pinning him down and watched it disappear in a puff of smoke.
"I've got you now!" Using Gamaken's head to propel himself, Minato sped towards Jun with his fist covered in wind chakra.
"I'm not done yet!" Clasping his hands together, Gamaken filled his lungs with air, releasing another gust of wind that boosted Minato's speed at least two-fold.
Flying at incredible speeds, Minato shot down like a meteor, his lips being pushed back by the wind pressure. "Fūton: Senpūken!"

[1] 'Saskazuki' or a 'Sake set.' It's basically like the small porcelain plate you put the tea on, but bigger and used as a shield.
[2] A sasumata (spear fork) is a pole weapon used by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.
A/N: As Gamabunta is older than Gamaken and Gamahiro, I've decided to make Gamaken kinda the same age as Minato. It's a bit like Naruto and Gamakichi in the war right now. That's how big he is.
If you want to know what Gamaken looks like, you can look him up.
