The Inuzuka would remain planted against the ground, his narrowed pupils observing the dark-skinned shinobi as he recovered from the mighty throw, landing on his feet without difficulty. The sight of this would intensify Goh's anger even further, chakra becoming literally visible as it began to mold this human into a beast. Although his physical attributes had taken enough transformation, his supplementary skills wouldn't desist, his strength and speed advancing to even greater heights as the Red Fang decided that his current state wouldn't suffice. This would be the very first match that the Inuzuka would involve himself in that didn't include another Inuzuka as his opponent, normally forcing himself to combat allies such as Raishin, his mentor Hanyo, or fellow Inuzuka clansmen. Because of the wild nature that each combatant possessed, Goh needed not to focus too much on outsmarting his foe, but beating them with brute strength. However, despite that he overpowered Arate greatly in the strength category, he would place no competition against the shinobi's intelligence.

"Wha...?!?!"

But to the Inuzuka's surprise, like a leaf in the wind, the boy he began to fear due to his enhanced comprehension would show his tail, scurrying off into the opposite direction as he attempted to lengthen the distance between the two. Not only would the sudden dash be perceived as "forfeiting" in the mind of the Inuzuka, but it would discourage him as well, originally believing that Arate was ready to face his fear. Annoyed by the thought of the fleeing shinobi refusing to confront him, the Red Fang now toughened by the chakra enhancement, would jolt after the scampering ally, his feet moving much more quickly than the dark-skinned lads. The difference in agility between the two would be outstanding, the Four-Legged Tai Primary progressing against the Taijutsu Tertiary vastly, only seven meters behind the evading opponent before deciding to take affirmative action. Simultaneously, a quick flurry of handseals during his sprint would grant the Akakiba ephemeral momentum traceable by none, teleporting him inconsiderable meters before Arate's eyes.

"DAMNIT!!! DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME!!!"

The opportunity for Arate to react to the sudden accelerated movement would be slim, Goh rotating without adversity as he dived into the half-blinded teenager's torso, attempting to hold him against the ground with his weight alone. If such a plot would succeed, the duo would land vigorously against the wooden floor, the Red Fang's body rejecting any form of escape for Arate. With the boy's back no longer turned against him, Goh would retreat to a similar method that he once used when they initially met, his left hand grasping the boy's collar strongly as he stared into his imbalanced pupils, searching to find the answer to his dilemma.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, huh?!?! You don't ever run away from me, got it?!?!"

"Alright then, whenever you're ready, Tsuki!!!"

A silent exchange of words would be the agreement to battle, a brief nod gesturing the two to drift apart. Goh's approval would be designated to Tsuki Inuzuka, a fellow female combatant who agreed to assist during the night as the "referee" of any contests that was held on that floor. The Red Fang would mimic Arate's idea, seperating himself a perfect seven-and-a-half meters from the epicenter of the tower, which meant the two was exactly fifteen meters from one another. Their positions met, Goh would observe Arate once again, bewildered by the strange stance he positioned himself into. This battle formation would prove to the Inuzuka that the boy had full intentions of participating in this fight, and without hesitation, Goh would signal his canine companion, Raishin, to join the fellow Inuzuka in the background. Nothing remained on the main floor except for Goh and Arate now, and upon assuring that both combatants had reached a reasonable distance, Tsuki would spring forth from the crowd towards the center, prepared to commence the brawl. 

"Ready?!?!........FIGHT!!!"

The pronounced words would send volumes of anticipation and bloodthirst into the veins of the Inuzuka, his arms spreading outwards as he held his fingers in a half-bent state, akin to preparing to claw something. Tsuki would return to the crowd as well, watching as the Akakiba's knees would bend slightly, to signify the initiation of a full-speed run. The stance alone would only be the response to the blind boy's own, symbolizing the difference between the two. The tongue of the wild wolf would click, tasting his pearl-white teeth as his first battle tactic came to mind. This wild clansman wasted no time, anxious to understand what made this shy shinobi tick, and how to merge their fighting styles into one. Through the use of opposition, one could bring unity, and Goh understood this concept completely. The distance between the conflicting allies grand, the Inuzuka would refuse to waste anymore time debating on a strategy, the most simplistic assault he could conjure proving to be quite advantageous afterall. 

Forcefully, the right foot of the Akakiba would push against the ground, each leg following the other simultaneously as he dashed forth, closing the range by the second as he sprinted towards Arate. Goh's speed would shorten the journey greatly, his right claw determined to rip into the dark-skinned shinobi's left shoulder if it would land. However, the nonchalant flight would force the opponent to retaliate in some form, the Red Fang's resolute battle cry shaking the tower to it's core.   

"HERE I COME!!!!!"

"Heh, about damn time!!!"

The once chaotic crowd would grow silent, each narrow Inuzukan pupil gazing at the strange boy, his name unknown but his appearance surely indifferent. To their surprise, they would suspect the opponent to be someone visually hardened, but unfortunately, it would be just a skinny, unathletic teenager. A few clansmen would disperse slight hints of laughter as they scolded both Goh and Arate silently, the dark-skinned boy for his weak appearance, and the Red Fang for choosing such a weak opponent on such a special night. The warriors that Goh had engulfed himself in was known for their thirst for attaining strength, and valued the use of Taijutsu over anything else. This controlled thinking would force the Red Fang to judge those he met based on this, assuming anyone who lacked such physical attributes to be undeserving of his respect.

However, this inconsiderate thinking wouldn't exist in his mind tonight, the new ally obtaining a different type of relationship with the Inuzuka. Although the one-eyed shinobi didn't fully have Goh's respect, he nonetheless had his loyalty, and the opinions of the surrounding Inuzuka wouldn't phase the Akakiba slightly. The golden pupils of the white-haired warrior would greet the mismatched set of Arate's, a devilish smirk still present upon his face from their initial meeting. The teenager would arrive only mere meters away, the anxiety of being surrounded by the very clan that he feared easily shown by his expression, and Goh would recognize this quickly. However, this emotion would bring the bloodthirsty Inuzuka to chuckle himself, his plan going just as he suspected.  

"The name's Arate, right? I gotta admit kid, I'm surprised you showed up. It takes an incredible amount of guts to fight a wolf in his den, and honestly, I respect that."

The words of the Red Fang would travel into the distant darkness, his body lifting itself from the ground seconds after commenting on Arate's arrival. For once, Goh could tell that the dark-skinned shinobi had the determination to prove himself, or else he would have secluded himself from ever having to deal with the canine duo immediately after their previous departure. Amongst loyalty and respect, Goh treasured the will to fight the most, and he knew that this "kid" had it in him. The Red Fang now on his feet, he would step a few meters forward, his clawed hand reaching outwards at the skeptical shinobi, his bright yellow eyes never disconnecting from the designated opponent. A simple handshake would become obvious to the attending shinobi, the bond established by such a form of agreement proving to be important to Goh. Whether Arate would accept the handshake again or not, the powerful words of the arrogant clansman would mutter from his mouth. 

"However, don't think I forgot about that ass-kicking I promised just because I said you was important to me!!! You want to get out of here alive?!?! You better show me everything you got!!!"
